Chapter 2: A Mother's Love

Her daughter has always been beautiful to her, even when she came home one day covered in mud because she was playing outside in the rain; she chuckled as she remembered telling her daughter that she looked absolutely adorable and then watching her go up to her room pouting…but that was years ago…her daughter isn't the adorable little child anymore…she's the beautiful full-grown woman standing in front of her

Mrs. Higurashi examined her daughter from head to toe, but she focused more on her face rather than her clothing. Her make-up was beautifully done by her best friend who was both a make-up artist and a lawyer. Kagome's lips were lightly colored pinkish to enhance her already naturally rosy red color. Small dashes of pink blush adorned her cheeks. But her eyes were the most striking. Sango had some how mixed different shades of green with different shades of blue with black eyeliner and a special mascara, that Sango says that she holds only for special occasions, to really make Kagome's eyes stand out…but not in the bad way, it actually was very good, since Kagome's eyes were one of her best features. Mrs. Higurashi loved her daughters eyes, the same as her father's were. But something troubled the mother of the 'perfect bride'…and it was the exact feature that she was looking at…

"Mama…" Kagome said to her mother

"Oh, Kagome, you look beautiful…"

"But…" asked her daughter, knowing her all too well for she was giving her that look

"But…that's exactly it Kagome, but nothing, you're beautiful, the chapel is beautiful everything is going perfectly…you're perfect…but…there's something bothering you, isn't there?" asked her mother

Kagome bowed her head and was going to voice her thoughts but thought better of it

'I'm just nervous…'

"I'm just nervous, that's all, it's not everyday that you get married, right Mama."

Her mother knew there was more to the story, but decided that she would take her daughter's word for it, "Right, now let get this veil on you."

Mrs. Higurashi grabbed the veil from the chair and started putting it on her daughter. Being careful of the gorgeous hairstyle done by Kagome's other friend, Rin. When it was done they both looked in the mirror and smiled, "Kagome, everything's going to work out just fine…don't worry…"

Kagome nodded

"Well, I better go see how things are going in the chapel I'll see you later my dear…" and she kissed her daughter and went to exit the dressing room

Kagome turned to look at herself yet again in the full-length mirror

"Oh, Kagome" said her mother from the door

"Huh, yes mama?"

"Just…just follow your heart…"

Kagome stared at her mother and nodded, "Thank you, for everything…"

Her mother nodded and continued to proceed out the door

"Mama!" cried the bride

"Yes, dear" said her mother coming back into the room

Kagome smiled at her mother, "I love you…"

Mrs. Higurashi looked at her daughter once more and she couldn't help it any longer, she ran to her daughter and caught her into a motherly embrace

"Kagome, I love you no matter what you do…just remember that I will always support you no matter what…I love you and you're my daughter…ok?"

Kagome recovered from the shock of the unsuspected embrace and hugged her mother back as well

"Of course mama, I love you too…" But Kagome was a bit confused as to why she had a feeling that her mother knew something that she didn't

When Kagome's mother let go of her daughter, Kagome noticed the tears in her eyes and she smiled

"I'll be fine mama, I always am" she said and gave her mother a cheerful smile

Her mother nodded and broke away, "Well, I better go then, I'll go see what the groom is up to, alright" Mrs. Higurashi felt her daughter's face tenderly with her palm and gave her a kiss

"You'll be fine" she said and exited out of the room

Kagome looked around the elegant dressing room which the chapel happily offered to her, when suddenly...

"Dammit you damn pervert! You can't go in there!" yelled a frustrated voice from outside the door

"Aw! Why not! I want to see the bride too!" wailed a male voice childishly

Kagome knew those voices all too well and she smiled
