Chapter Two
Yes I know the first chapter was confusing, but it will all be explained in later chapters. And I forgot to put for when Kagome said "why didn't they asked 'Are you a murderer' or 'did you steal 2,000 dollars'…" I forgot to put her also saying 'Have you ever been on drugs?'
"Come on Inuyasha!" I say, as I pulling him to the well.
"What's the big hurry Kagome; shouldn't we say good-bye to the others?"
"Nah, they'll be fine without us, let's go!" Inuyasha picks me up and cradles me like a baby. I smile and cuddle to his chest. We jump in together, but not before I saw a glimpse of Sango and Miroku. The lecherous monk is near the front of the forest alone with Sango. He is down on one bended knee and offering something. From the little glimpse I get I see Sango blushing, then we are falling between the dimensions of Inuyasha's world and mine. Was he proposing?
As Inuyasha touches the bottom of the dirty ground from my well, he hoist me up soon joining me by my side. I grab his hand and smile. We walk out of my family shrine and make way to home. It's just like it's always been. Little children are running on the pavement on the other side of our wooden fence and playing in the street. Ah…I sigh, to be young again.
"Mom, I'm home!" I yell, as I slide open our door. She greets me with a boiling pot in her hands.
"Oh, back already Kagome? That's nice, we always love having you over." I cough and she looks at Inuyasha. "And you also brought you little dog friend too." She smiles at me. "Will he be staying for dinner?" I nod. "Then let me set another plate for you."
"Come on Inuyasha, I wanna show you my new schoolgirl outfit." I drag him upstairs to my room. He flops onto my bed, sniffing around and checking out everything. "Oh stop it Inuyasha, nothing is going to hurt me." I say, as I look for my clothes. Once I find them I close the curtains, blocking the sounds of the chirping birds outside. I begin to take my shirt off until I notice that Inuyasha's watching me. "Uh, Inuyasha, could you please turn around."
"Why?" he asks, as he gets up and caresses my face. "You're acting like I've never seen you naked before." He leans forward and kisses my neck. I let out a slight moan before I push him away.
"No Inuyasha." I say, in a playful voice. "Not here. What if my mom catches us?" Inuyasha let out a loud groan.
"Come on Kagome. I've been good. We haven't done it in like six weeks. Please Kagome…" His clawed fingers begin to stroke my inner thigh, higher and higher it went. I feel an odd sensation in the pit of my stomach.
"No… Inuyasha, please…stop…" I say, between pants. It becomes harder to resist. "Oh, Inuyasha I'm warning you..." He starts prodding my entrance with his fingers. Before I can control myself I yell, "Inuyasha sit!" He falls to the ground head first. By the time he managed to get up I am fully dressed.
"Why the hell did you do that Kagome!"
"I told you to stop." I say, blushing. He smiles at me.
"I can't stay mad at you when you look at me cutely." He nuzzles my cheek.
"So," I say, spinning around so that Inuyasha can see my entire outfit. "What do you think?"
"Actually," he begins. "It looks exactly the same."
"It does not!" I yell at him. "My old one was green and white! This one is blue and white!"
"Well it's still a, what-do-you-call-it, a sailor uniform." I huff. What a dough brain, doesn't observe anything…
"Kagome?" comes a voice from the other side of my wall. The doorknob turns and my door opens. It is my mom. "Can you help me with dinner?"
"Uh, sure." I leave Inuyasha in my room. I walk down stairs and into the kitchen. It's been awhile since I have cooked something. I smell the little scraps of food mom began to cook and see them boiling over in the pots. I follow my mom right next to the cutting board.
"Here Kagome, could you please cut this." She hands me some beef and I begin to slice it.
"What are we making mom?"
"Gyudon." She answers, as she checks on the steamed rice.
"I'm sure Inuyasha will like it." I say, smiling. She says nothing. For a long while we stand there preparing in silence. Not until I pour the egg on top of the dinner does my mother speak.
"How is your journey going?" I stare at her, with one eyebrow raised. What's up with her, she never usually asks about my journey. She's usually more concerned about me or my friends…
"Not good," I reply. "Naraku has like three more Shikon jewel shards left before he completes it. Luckily Inuyasha and I have two of those three. We are hoping to find the third one before Naraku does, but you can't tell the future. All we can do is try, but I hope we succeed." She says nothing; she just fixes the vegetables in the dinner.
"And what happens if he gets all of the Shikon jewels?"
"Unlikely." I say as I pour the special sauce over the portions of dinner. "He would have to kill me and Inuyasha."
"That doesn't answer my question."
"Well," I begin, as I test the food. "I suspect he would try to rule everything, or kill off everything." My mom's knife falls to the floor. "Here, I'll pick it up." I bend over and grab the knife, but as I straighten up my mom is giving me a stern look. "What?" I say, in confusion. "What did I do?"
"Kagome," she says, with a sigh. "I'm going to be perfectly honest with you. I don't want you going back to the feudal era." I gawp at her. What! That was outta nowhere! She usually supports me going back to Inuyasha's time. "I'm not trying to be mean," she continues, setting the utensils on the table as she talks. "But everything seems to becoming more and more dangerous by the minute."
"You don't need to worry mom. Inuyasha will pro…" She pierces the table with a knife she was just holding. It stands up perfectly straight on our wooden table. She's giving me a deadly glare. What's up with mom! She never acts like this! I'm a bit scared…
"I don't want to hear this "Inuyasha will protect me" crap! What if one time he's not there to rescue you! Hmmm. What are you going to do then! Can you defend yourself! Kagome, I tried to ask you nicely, but now I must insist. YOU ARE NOT GOING BACK!"
We stand there in complete silence, my eyes wide open and my jaw dropped. This is not my mother! "Mom," I begin, in a low calming voice. "You can't be serious. I have to go back. I broke the jewel in the first place."
"I know you feel responsible," she starts. "But I am not going to allow you to risk your life for a stupid jewel!"
"But mom, what about the others? Miroku and Sango and Inuyasha…"
"Then bring them over to this era! For god sacks they'll be safer over here."
"But…only Inuyasha and I can pass through the well…"
"Then only have Inuyasha stay. What ever it takes to get you to stay here do it! I am not letting you go back there everyday! You can visit, but you are not to go looking for the Shikon jewel! You are to stay here and go to school like a normal girl!" I say nothing. My fists are shaking with fury. What has changed mom's heart so quickly? She turns and says, "If you want me to I can register Inuyasha into your school, but please." She turns her head around and I see one tear fall from her face. "Please don't go back. I care about you too much. I'll do anything."
My face expression softens and I sigh. She's only thinking for what's best for me, it's only natural. She is my mother after all… I give in and walk over to her. I pat her on the back and comfort her. "Shhh…" I whisper into her ear. "It's alright, I'll stay." She looks up at me teary faced.
"Thank you Kagome…"
"But," I cut her off. I must think about Inuyasha… "You have to find some way to keep Inuyasha here longer until I can convince him to stay." She nods and hugs me.
"I'm sorry I'm so emotional." she sniffles. "After losing your father I don't think I can stand another death." (What did ever happen to Kagome fathers?) I am shocked that mom was talking about dad. She hardly ever mentions him. I know she is truly worried if she brings him up. I must stay, just for her sake…
