Inuyasha's Redemption 14
Disclaimer: Still do not own him.
The woman who came down the hall was stunning to say the least. She looked around thirty with wrinkles around her deep, lovely brown eyes. She had laugh lines around her lovely plump lips. Her hair, black as night was covered at the top by a green kerchief. She wore a long, simple kimono, green with golden leafs decorating it. She resembled okaa-san and Kaede-baba! "Oh, is Sant-Oh! Kagome!" she said, with a small gasp.
"Kagome, I-" I heard from behind me. I spun around to see an older man, looking about thirty as well. He wore a black hat on his head, and seemed to be prematurely grey, for his hair was white as snow. His golden eyes blinked at me in confusion. "Ka-Kagome?" he stuttered, his voice rough, yet kind in a way. So familiar…
"Yes, darling, this is Kagome." The woman stepped in quickly. "This is Kagome, it seems she's lost her way, and is having some relationship problems. Let's do what we can to help her out, alright?"
"Feh" he shrugged, looking away determinedly. The lovely woman took that as an assent and grabbed my arm, hurrying me into the kitchen as I thought of how amazingly similar that was to Inuyasha.
"Tea, Kagome?" she asked, not bothering to wait for an answer as she pulled out some Earl Grey and put the teapot to boil.
"How-how did you know-" I started, but she cut me off.
"About your problems? About you being lost? Why, you told me Kagome. You must have forgotten, are you feeling quite alright?" she asked, laying a hand to my head for a few secounds. "Your temperatures fine, it's probably just the stress you're under. Cookie?" she asked, placing a plate of homemade chocolate cookies in front of me.
"Yes, Arigoto." I say, taking a cookie and munching on it, watching this woman bustle around the kitchen like a whirl wind.
"Call me, Go-go-chan, that's what many of my friends call me." She told me with a kindly smile as she sat down finally, putting a steamy cup of tea in front of me, and sipping from hers. "Now, your shrine is all the way across the city, take a left at the end of this road, then get on the subway, that will get you to the road in front of your school. You can get home from there."
"Thank you, but how did you know where I live?" I ask, bewildered.
"Why, you told me, Kagome." She said calmly, sipping her tea. "Now, about your problems with this headstrong boy…." She said, trailing off with a significant look.
I coloured. "You don't need to bother with this, Go-Go-chan. You've been such a big help, and so kind. I really must leave-" I say standing up.
"Sit down." She said sharply and against my will, my legs folded and down I sat. "You're going to listen to what I have to say Kagome. You'll listen because you have no choice. You'll listen because this will have a great effect on your future."
I nodded. Who was this woman?
"Now, Inuyasha was an idiot. But he knows that, and you need to forgive him. He'd do anything; listen to me, anything for you. Give him a chance and stop dwelling on what he did." She told me with a glint in her eye.
"But he picked her. I'm the fall back. He picked her first. Not me, her. And she betrayed him again! So know he wants me. If Kikyo came back with soft words I bet you he'd go with her." I say bitterly.
"Don't be foolish." She tells me, sipping her tea. "She left him to be tortured in hell. Do you really think he'd go back?"
"I…I don't know." I say quietly.
She sighed "Kagome, follow me." She said standing up. I stood up, following her out of the kitchen, wondering what's going on.
A/N- R+R please! Anyone think they know who Go-Go-chan is? I think I made it a bit obvious.
