Hey! Welcome back for chapter 14! Sorry for updating later than usual, the teachers at school have been giving a LOT of homework. I hope that you liked the last chapter! Sorry if it was sad, but hey, I couldn't help it! Like I said, when I start to write a chapter, my imagination, creativity, and the Inuyasha world just takes me over and I have no control over what I write! Sorry! Well, there's not much more so say, so let's get on with the chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any other characters related to Inuyasha except for Kimi.
Some Dreams Can Come True, Ya Know!
Chapter 14: Telling Kagome's Mother
"Goodbye Inuyasha. My one, my own, my true love, my friend, my protector, my dog eared husband." Kagome thought as she moved the torch closer to Inuyasha, her eyes shut tight with tears streaming down her face.
"Kagome?" She heard someone ask. She was confused. She didn't know who had said her name. She opened her eyes and looked around. Everyone had their heads down. They didn't hear the voice because it was so soft.
Kagome turned back to Inuyasha. She gasped. Inuyasha was still lying in his position, his eyes open, his face was turned to Kagome, and he had a confused expression on his face.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome said in a hushed voice.
She was so shocked, that she dropped the torch onto the bed of hay.
"Woah, hey! Watch where you're putting that thing!" Inuyasha yelled as he jumped up and jumped up off of the bed. In less than ten seconds, it was up in flames. Everyone had a shocked look on their face.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome said as she ran over to him and hugged him as hard as she could.
"What is all this about? Why are all of you dressed in black?" Inuyasha asked them, being more confused as they were.
"We thought that you were dead, your heart stopped beating." Kagome said.
"Yeah, and for some strange reason, it still isn't beating." Inuyasha said.
"That is right Inuyasha. When you "died" your demon blood was about to take over. A real demon heart does not beat at first in a human body, you see. It may take three or four days for it to start beating properly again." Inutaisho said.
He put his arm around Inuyasha's shoulders and said, "I'm glad that you weren't really dead."
"Me to dad, me to. Uh, one more thing. Kagome, it wasn't my demon blood that brought me back. It was you. I was going into this tunnel of light. When I got to the end of it, I saw you. You said 'Inuyasha, go back. It's not your time yet.' I then woke up seeing you crying and about to put a torch on me and the bed of hay." Inuyasha said.
"Well, I was here the whole time…so how could I have guided you back?" Kagome asked getting confused. Izayoi came over and gave him a hug. They all turned to the others, who were still in shock.
"Uh, guys? You okay?" Kagome asked them, looking at them strangely. Inuyasha went to each one individually and had to shake them to get their attention.
"But how…you're supposed to be dead! Why are you up and moving? I don't get it!" Miroku asked Inuyasha.
"Dunno. It's a long story and you don't want to know." Inuyasha said as he went over to Sesshomaru.
"Hey big bro, you okay?" Inuyasha said as he shook him. Sesshomaru shook his head and looked down at Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, I thought that you were dead." Sesshomaru said as he looked down at Inuyasha.
"I think that I was, but I dunno." Inuyasha said as he walked over to Kaede. It took him ten minutes to get everyone out of their shock.
"Well, why don't we all go inside and celebrate Inuyasha's life?" Kaede asked.
"Yeah!" The gang yelled as they shoved their fist into the air while they made their way towards their home.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"Okay. We should be back in three days." Kagome said, holding up three fingers to indicate the number of days.
"Well, I guess that we'll see you then." Sango said as she waved goodbye. Kimi, Midoriko, Shippo, and Miroku did the same. Kagome looked down at Kia, who was asleep in her arms.
"Let's go Inuyasha." Kagome said as they turned to walk towards the well. Inuyasha and Kagome jumped down the well to her time. When they arrived at the bottom, Inuyasha shivered.
"No matter how many times a go down that thing, it always gives me the chills." Inuyasha said. He picked Kagome up and jumped up the well.
Kagome handed Kia to Inuyasha. They ascended the steps and out the door. They stepped out into the brilliant sunlight.
"What a beautiful day!" Kagome said as she stretched her arms out. They walked towards the shrine.
"Mama! I'm home!" Kagome yelled as they walked into the door.
"I'm in the kitchen Kagome!" Anami yelled. Kagome set down her backpack and they walked into the kitchen.
"Hello Kagome, Inuyasha! It's been a long time!" Anami said as she gave Kagome and Inuyasha a hug.
"Hello Mrs. Higurashi." Inuyasha said as he nodded his head to her mother.
"Please, Inuyasha, just call me mama. So, how's it been with you two? Sit down, I'm sure that this will take a while." Her mom said as she gestured to the table.
"Well, since I left, we got into some fights, one was a major one, and we finally completed the Shikon Jewel!" Kagome said.
"Really? And what else?" Anami asked curiously.
"Well, um, as you can see, we found a baby that looked like it would be our baby, for some strange reason." Kagome said as she looked down at the sleeping Kia in Inuyasha's arms.
"Oh, I didn't notice her. What is her name?" Her mom asked her.
"We decided to name her Kia." Inuyasha said as a smile played on his face.
"We had some more fights, but they were pretty easy. We meet Inuyasha's younger sister. Oh and one more thing mom." Kagome said, blushing a little bit.
"What?" Her mom asked her.
"Inuyasha and I, we got married." Kagome said. Anami just stared at her.
She then came to her senses and said, "Wow! Congratulations!" She walked over to them and hugging them both.
"Mama, aren't you shocked?" Inuyasha asked his mother-in-law confused.
"If it was anyone else, I would be." Anami said with a smile.
"Inuyasha, we're being watched." Kagome told him telepathically.
"You noticed it to?" Inuyasha asked her.
"Yeah, I'll say that we need to go outside and talk and I'll tell her to give Kia some milk or something and we can go outside and figure this out." Kagome told him. He nodded and she looked at her mom.
"Mom, could you give Kia some milk? We haven't had the time to feed her yet this afternoon." Kagome said.
"Sure." Anami said, taking Kia.
"We'll go outside for a bit." Inuyasha said as he helped Kagome up. They walked outside and stood there.
"Where do you think he is?" Kagome asked him.
"Over there. I can smell him." Inuyasha said as he pointed a finger into the trees.
"I'll go get him and bring him here. You stay." Inuyasha said.
He jumped into the forest. After a minute, he came out with a man dangling from his clawed hand. When Kagome saw them man clearly, it left her speechless.
"What's wrong Kagome?" Inuyasha asked her as he came up to her with the man grabbing at Inuyasha's hand, trying to get him to let go.
"That's my…my…my father!" Kagome said shaking. Her knees gave way and she fell to the ground in a kneeling position.
"What? Then why was he watching you?" Inuyasha said. "Wait a minute, you told me before that me was dead!" Inuyasha said.
"He WAS dead Inuyasha. I had cared about him so much before he had died. We must have brought him back to life with the wish!" Kagome said as she tried to stand up again, using the railing on the porch for support.
"Let go of me teme! I said let go of me!" Kagome's father yelled as he clawed at Inuyasha's hand and wrist, but it was no use. His attempt was futile.
"Kagome, go get mama. I'll keep him here for the time being." Inuyasha said as he put his feet on the ground, but kept a firm grip on his shoulder so he couldn't run.
Kagome ran into the house and got her mother. They both walked outside. When Kagome's mother saw her husband, she gasped, salty tears came to her eyes.
"Kanami…"She managed to say before she fainted. Kagome caught her and set her down gently on the ground. (A/N Yay! I managed to make their names match/rhyme! Yay me!)
"Now, what do you remember last?" Kagome asked her father.
"I don't really know. The last thing I remember was pushing you out of the way of that car. I've been here for the past three and a half months to see how thing were going here. I didn't show my face. I just hid in the woods. I didn't recognize you at first. It must have been a long time Kagome." Kanami said.
"As a matter of fact, I am now almost twenty years old and I'm married to that man that is holding your shoulder. His name is Inuyasha by the way." Kagome said as she put her head up with pride. Kanami's jaw dropped in shock.
"Let's go inside before someone sees us." Kagome said as she walked over to Inuyasha and made him release his grip on her father's shoulder.
Kagome led her father inside while Inuyasha carried Anami inside and set her gently on the couch in the family room.
"Sota! Get down her!" Kagome yelled up the stairs.
"Coming!" Her brother yelled as he ran out of his room. Kagome shooed her father into the kitchen with a smile on her face.
"Be quiet and don't make any noise!" Kagome whispered.
"What is it sis?" Sota asked her.
"Sota, I want to introduce you to someone." Kagome said as she led him to the kitchen. Sota didn't see Inuyasha because he was in the bathroom getting damp cloth for Anami's head.
"Kanami, this is my younger brother, Sota Higurashi. Sota, this is Kanami Higurashi, our father." Kagome said with a grin as she introduced the two to each other. Kanami looked at Sota's face with amusement. Sota's eyes were as big as dinner plates and he had a look of shock on his face.
"Sota! Snap out of it!" Kagome hissed as she gave her brother a light slap across the back of his head as she winked at Kanami.
"I didn't know that Anami had another child." Kanami said.
"Well, neither did we until after you kicked the can." Kagome said.
"Wait a minute Kagome, you told me when I was five that dad had died!" Sota asked her getting confused.
"Well, he was, but in the Feudal Era, we completed the Sacred Jewel or the Shikon No Tama. We made a wish that everyone that we had cared for that had died came back to life. I guess that it worked on dad to." Kagome explained.
"Sota, where's grandpa?" Kagome asked him.
"He said something about going shopping I think." He said.
"Oh well, you'll see him later." Kagome told Kanami.
"Kagome, mama's waking up." Inuyasha said as he stuck his head in the doorway.
"Be right there Inu!" Kagome said back as she got the two up and brought them into the family room.
"Kagome?" She said.
"Yes mama." Kagome answered back. She sat up and looked in Kagome's direction. Her eyes went past Kagome and Sota and onto Kanami.
"Kanami! I thought that you were dead!" Anami said, pointing a shaking finger at him.
"This is going to take a while…" Kagome thought.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"So, you came from the past? And our well connects the two worlds?" Kanami said, trying to get things straight.
"I'm surprised he hasn't noticed my dog ears yet." Inuyasha thought to Kagome.
"Me to. He'll probably notice soon." Kagome assured him.
"Yes." Kagome said. Kanami looked around the room. He hadn't really gotten the chance to look at his son-in-law closely. He looked at Inuyasha's clothes, his sword, his amber eyes, his silver hair, and then, his eyes fell on his ears. His eyes widened in shock.
"Kagome, this man has dog ears!" Kanami said alarmed. Kagome, Sota, and Anami started to laugh.
"Told you so!" Kagome told him through her giggles.
"I know dad. Inuyasha is a hanyou, half-human, half dog demon. We don't need to worry about him attacking anyone because his demon blood is sealed with the sword that he carries." Kagome told him.
"Well, as long as he doesn't hurt you, I'm fine with it." Kanami told her. The doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Sota said as he stood and ran out of the room. Kagome, her parents, and Inuyasha were in a conversation when someone came into the room.
"Hello Kagome!" She heard a cheerful voice say. She turned around to see Hojo.
"Hojo? What are you doing here?" Kagome asked him as she stood up. Inuyasha ran over in front of Kagome.
"Who are you?" Inuyasha asked. Hojo jumped back in surprise, but quickly got between Inuyasha and Kagome.
"Kagome, are you aware that you have a demon in your home? I must protect you from him!" Hojo said very alarmed.
"Hojo, two things. One: I know that he is a demon. Two: Why are you protecting me from own my husband?" Kagome said, counting them off with her fingers. Hojo whirled around at this.
"What? This demon is your husband?" Hojo asked, looking hurt that the woman that he had loved had married, even though she was still in high school (I think that in Japan they got to high school until they are twenty...please correct if i'm wrong).
"Yes Hojo, I'm sorry. I know that you love me and all that jazz, but…I like you as a friend, and I love this man behind you more than my heart could ever imagine. I had fallen in love with him at first sight, which was about a two and a half years ago. I realized when he almost died, and we really thought that he had died, that I loved him more than I could dream. I had married him first, before he got hurt. I'm sorry Hojo. I love him, I only like you as a friend." Kagome said, looking him straight in the eye.
"Oh, well…" Hojo said, tears coming to his eyes and silently falling down his cheek.
"I'll go then. Bye Kagome." Hojo said as he turned and walked out the door. Kagome heard the front door close, then she had an idea. She ran down the hallway and out the door.
"Hojo!" She yelled. He stopped, wiped some of his tears away, and turned around. Kagome ran up to him.
"You know Hojo, we could still be best friends." Kagome said with her most apologetic look.
"You mean it?" Hojo asked her.
"Yeah, just no lovey dovey stuff." Kagome reassured him.
"Well, I need to get home. My mom doesn't know where I am yet. Bye." He turned to go.
"One more thing Hojo, please don't tell anyone about my husband being a hanyou. And his name is Inuyasha." Kagome said.
"I wouldn't tell a soul even if my life depended on it." Hojo said with his back still turned. He walked down the sidewalk and was gone in less than five minutes.
