Last:
Mr. Higurashi sighed. "She and I are getting divorced," Mr. Higurashi said continuing.
"OOOHHHH, why?" Kikyo asked.
"Kikyo just get in the house," Mr. Higurashi said annoyed.
"fine," Kikyo said, stomping into the house to go call one of the many rich men that she knew, to take her out, and get her some food, and maybe get laid, almost everyone she knew, knew she needed it.
"BYE," Kagome yelled out of her window.
Mrs. Higurashi opened her window, and waved out of it.
Mr. Higurashi waved back until he could no longer see Inuyasha's car, he then walked inside the house, to go sit in self pity.
Now:
Chapter 7 I'm WHAT?
Kagome fell back in her seat, "finally we are doing this," she said as she reached over and laid her hand on Inuyasha's knee. "And now we can finally start our lives together, and not have to be in secret," Kagome looked behind her in the review mirror hanging on the windshield, "with my mom and little brother!"
"I'm not little!" Souta said deffiently.
"Sure, sure," Kagome said teasingly, "and I'm not Kagome Higurashi."
Souta stuck his tongue out at her.
"Children! Stop that this instant!"
"Yes mom," Kagome and Souta said at the same time.
Inuyasha just sat in the driver's seat just smiling lightly at their antics.
Mrs. Higurashi turned her head slowly from looking at her children, to looking outside at the scenery outside as they drove by. "Its so beautiful out here," she said, "are we going to be living close by here?"
"Yes," Inuyasha said simply, "it is actually very close by to my parent's house."
"Here it is," Kagome said as they turned onto a drive way that lead up to a nice two story house, with a white picket fence and a beautiful garden that seemed to follow the house across the land, while small bushes lined up against the fence.
As soon as Inuyasha stopped the car and turned off the ignition, everyone unbuckled themselves and opened the doors to get out of the vehicle.
Kagome got up and walked over to Inuyasha's side of the car and wrapped her arms around his waist the moment he stood up from his seat.
Inuyasha smiled down at the top of her head as he shut his car door, and wrapped his arms around her thin form, "welcome home," he whispered into her hair.
Kagome lifted her head from resting on Inuyasha's chest and smiled up at him, "ditto," she whispered back.
Inuyasha smiled even wider down at her, "I love you," he admitted before leaning down and capturing her lips with his in a soul searing kiss.
Kaoru (Mrs. Higurashi remember?) smiled at the two of them as they whispered to each other and then kissed. She felt a rush of sadness as she realized that unlike them, she had no one. Yes it was true in a way she had her daughter and son…and Inuyasha who she considered a second son to her…but then in another, she didn't have them. Kagome and Inuyasha had each other to love and to care for, and Souta had both of them to look up to, since Kagome already seem to act like a mother to him. But she, she was just the mother who didn't have enough courage to leave her husband until her youngest daughter got engaged and decided to leave them with her younger brother. She was like the old woman there that wasn't strong enough to live on her own…always mooching off other people.
She continued to watch as Kagome pulled back and heard her whisper back to Inuyasha's early comment, "I love you too."
Kagome pulled away from Inuyasha and smiled at her mother and younger brother, "welcome to your new home, you two."
"Thanks Kags," Souta said, giving his sister a hug around the waist.
"Anything for you, Souta," Kagome said smiling as she wrapped her arms around her brother's shoulders. "Okay, now common, are we just gonna stand around outside, or are we going to go inside and claim rooms and unpack?" Kagome said looking expectant.
"Unpack!" Souta said excitedly as Inuyasha pressed a button on the keys to open the trunk. "Common Inuyasha! Let's bring the bags inside!" Souta said happily.
"Why do I always get signed up for this stuff?" Inuyasha groaned as he followed Souta to grab the luggage. "Kags, you and Mom go on ahead and go inside, we'll be in, in a moment."
"Yes mi caption!" Kagome said laughing lightly while saluting, before hooking her arm through her mother's and skipping off inside.
"This is beautiful, Kagome," Kaoru said while looking around in awe at her daughter's new house.
"Yeah, I don't know how Inuyasha was able to find a place like this. But I'm sure glad he did." Kagome said while grinning at her mother. "So, what room do you want? The master bedroom?"
"No, no. That's for you and Inuyasha. I'll just take one of the other rooms for now," Kaoru said.
"But mom..?"
"No, dear. This is yours and Inuyasha's home. You deserve the master bedroom. And besides, you two are about to marry, you will want to have a larger room to yourselves in your own house instead of having your single mother wallowing away in there,"
"Are you sure?"
"Kagome, just show me to one of the other rooms, I'll make do there, until I can find a place I can afford on my own."
"Mom, your welcome to stay here. You don't need to find a place to live." Kagome said sadly.
"No, I don't want to intrude, this is your life to live, I've lived mine…its time for me to live my own, and you to live yours. I'll only be staying until I can find a stable job and can afford an apartment or a house of my own."
"If that is what you want, Mother."
"Yes."
Just then a mountain of luggage seemed to walk itself in through the doorway, panting. "Where do we put these, Inuyasha?" asked Souta.
"I don't know. I can't see. Kagome, Mom? Are you in here?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome laughed, "Yes, we are both right here. Just set them right there until we get the rooming situation settled.
All of a sudden one of the piles collapsed and revealed Souta. "Yay! Those are heavy!"
Both Kagome and Kaoru laughed as the other pile collapsed as well producing Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, my mom wants us to have the master bedroom…so will you put our stuff in that room?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha backed away from the luggage with a scarred look on his face. "You want me to carry those…'things'…again?"
"Please Inu?" Kagome said giving him the infamous 'puppy-dog face.' "I have to show mom and Souta to their rooms. So will you pretty please?"
Inuyasha sighed and started gathering his and Kagome's bags, "Fine."
After Inuyasha disappeared with their bags, Kagome turned towards her mom and brother. "Okay, Souta, can you grab yours, while I'll help mom carry hers? And I'll show you both your way to your rooms."
"Kay Kags!" Souta said picking up his bags without any problem.
Kagome grabbed her mom's smallest lightest bags (she's pregnant so she can't overexert herself) and waited for her mom to gather the other bags until she started up the stairs with her brother at her tail and her mom at the flank.
Kagome came up to two doors at the end of the hallway. "These will be your rooms. They have some nice views of the back of the house. The one on the right is bigger, so mom that can be yours. While the one on the left is a little larger then your old room Souta." Kagome said.
"Okay, thanks Kags," Souta said before disappearing through the door on the left.
"Okay, common mom," Kagome said before heading towards the opposite door.
Kaoru followed her daughter as she walked into the room and set her stuff on the floor next to one of the walls. "we only have two beds at the moment. I didn't expect you to be coming two. Just me, Inu, and Souta is all I was expecting. But since you are here, You can use the bed…and Souta can sleep on the floor with a few blankets and pillows tonight till we get him a bed tomorrow. And sorry but we don't have any furniture yet, but that we have to get tomorrow two. And we are going to go grocery shopping tonight." Kagome explained. "I have to go help Inuyasha now, I'll tell you before him and I go to get some food. Bye mom, love you," Kagome finished before kissing her mother on the cheek before leaving her mother alone in the room.
Kaoru looked around. Now to start her new life of freedom from her husband. Just what to do first.
"THERES A POOL!" she heard her son yell from the other room. Just then Souta came bursting through her door. "Mom! There's a pool!"
"Yes, I heard you," Kaoru said while smiling at her son.
Souta looked down sheepishly, "Sorry."
Kaoru laughed before walking over to Souta, "How about when Kagome and Inuyasha go to get the groceries, you and me go for a little swim?"
Souta looked up at his mother surprised, "but you hate swimming?"
"We'll have to change that now won't we?" Kaoru said before winking at him. "You'll help me won't you?"
"Yes!" Souta exclaimed jumping up and down excitedly before hugging his mother. "I'll help you mama!"
Kaoru laughed, hugging him back. "Now go finish getting set up in your room, have your suit set out, I'll come and get you when Kagome leaves."
"Yes ma'am," Souta said kissing his mother on the cheek, and then skipping happily out of his mother's room.
"Now, time to get somewhat settled in," Kaoru said before going over to one of her bags and grabbing her toiletries, and walking over to the bathroom that was in her room.
After she was done setting her stuff up in the bathroom, she heard a knock on the door. "Yes?" Kaoru asked sticking her head out of the bathroom to look at the door.
The door opened and Kagome appeared from behind it, "Inuyasha and I are leaving, we'll be back in about an hour or so."
"Okay, dear. Have fun."
"I love you mom."
"I love you to, Kagome. Now run along"
"Yes ma'am." Kagome said before disappearing again.
Kaoru heard two voices from downstairs, and then the front door open and shut, and then the engine of the car starting up, and driving away. "Time to get ready for swimming," Kaoru said quietly to no one.
After she had found her swim suit in the mountain of luggage, she grabbed a towel and an overly large T-shirt, put the shirt on, held the towel over one of her arms, and went over to her son's room.
"Yes?" she heard Souta say, after she knocked on the door.
"Kagome just left…get your swimsuit on," Kaoru said.
"Okay!" Souta exclaimed.
Within seconds, Souta appeared at the door of his room in his trunks, and a shirt with a towel over his shoulder.
"Well, lets go," Kaoru said, smiling.
"Okay," Souta said.
And they both set out looking for the back door to get the pool.
When Kagome and Inuyasha both got back, carrying in bag after bag into the kitchen. They heard screams of joy, laughter, and splashing coming from the backyard. When they had brought in the last of the bags, Kagome and Inuyasha opened the back door and looked out at the pool, seeing Kaoru and Souta splashing water at each other and playing with a small ball.
Kagome smiled at the scene playing in front of her. For as long as she could remember, her mother had been afraid of pools and going swimming. Ever since her mom's best friend drowned. And yet, here she was laughing and playing with her son in the pool like she couldn't have more fun, and like nothing had ever happened.
"Lets join them," Kagome whispered at Inuyasha.
"Okay, common," Inuyasha said before grabbing her hand and dragging her back inside the house. "We have to put these up first though."
"Okay."
After putting the groceries away, Kagome and Inuyasha left the kitchen and changed. They both walked sneakily up to the pool up behind Souta and Kaoru, who where sitting on the steps resting. Then all of a sudden they screamed like wild banshees and jumped into the pool doing cannon balls.
"AHHHH!" screamed Souta and Kaoru, jumping, when they heard the two.
"THAT'S NOT FUNNY KAGOME!" Souta screamed at his sister when the two had resurfaced and where falling over each other laughing hysterically, making funny interpretations of how the two had looked and how they jumped when they surprised them.
Kaoru just stared at the two with wide eyes, panting lightly from her scream, trying to calm her racing heart.
"Yes giggle it was giggle hilarious giggle" Kagome said as she continued to laugh.
Inuyasha was the first one to stop laughing. When he had stopped, Kagome was still chuckling lightly. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled her into his chest, laying his head on her shoulder.
Kaoru smiled at the two. "So what kinda food did you both get?" she asked, "please say something healthy," she continued giving the two a sort of pleading look.
"Yes, mom." Kagome said. "We got lots of veggies and fruit. Some cereal, a frozen pizza for dinner tonight, coffee, tea, chips, whole wheat bread, and white, and lots and lots of Ramen," Kagome said while giving Inuyasha a look.
Inuyasha grinned stupidly at her, "Your man loves his ramen. What can I say?"
Souta and Kaoru laughed at that.
"What flavors?" Souta asked.
"ALL!" Inuyasha said grinning like a madman.
"He pretty much emptied the entire store's stock of ramen," Kagome said sighing.
"Pretty much? You mean we did!" Inuyasha said.
"We? No, you!" Kagome said.
"We have that much ramen!" Souta said, half jumping for glee, and half having his jaw hanging open.
"Yes."
"SWEET!" Souta screamed while bouncing around the pool.
Kaoru laughed at her two son's antics. That was Inuyasha for you, the ever loving ramen lover. And her little Souta, Inuyasha's younger…much younger…twin.
"Oh! Mom! We saw some nice furniture stores along the way. So tomorrow we can go there," Kagome said all of a sudden happily.
"Furniture shopping?" Souta said groaning, "do we have to?"
"Yes, Souta. Don't you want to sleep on a bed?" Kagome said sticking her tongue out at him.
"I guess…" he said sighing.
"Lets go inside, we are starting to become prunes," Inuyasha said suddenly. "We can go make that pizza, some ramen, and then sit down and watch a movie!"
"Okay," they all said following each other out and into the house, to get ready for their little family night in.
Okay so wat'd u think?
Sorry it wasn't to good, and kinda short, but…its getting kinda late, and I need to finish up some h/w and go 2 bed….so you'll have 2 live w/ that XP.
