Chapter 7: Panic Attack and Enrolling in a New School.
Disclaimer: I forgot to put it on the last chapter but I still don't own Inuyasha!
About three hours later; Kagome and Sango had the whole house set up and the way Kagome wanted it.
"So, I still have some shopping to do if you wanna come." Kagome invited.
"Sure! I never pass up a chance to shop! If you want we can take my car and my mom can watch your kids."
"Yes, that would be great! I still need to get the kids car seats, I hated riding in the cab without them!"
Kagome and Sango each grabbed a kid and made the walk to Sango's house. "Mom, can you watch my friends kids? We need to go shopping for her new house she just moved in next door.
"Yes, dear. Oh!" Sango's mom was surprised at Kagome's obvious age as well as how underweight she was and the amount of bruises covering her body.
Kagome became self-conscious and adverted her eyes.
"I'm sorry, dear." Sango's mom said snapping out of her stupor. "I would love to watch your kids for you."
About five minutes later the girls were on their way to the mall. "So," Sango started making Kagome sigh, she knew the questions were going to start. "The fact the you have kids are out of the question, right?" At Kagome's nod she continued. "How about the underweight thing and the bruises?"
Kagome looked out the window. "Let's just say-for right now-that my parents weren't the nicest people and that's why I emancipated myself and moved to America so they can't find me. Can we leave it at that for now? Please?"
"School starts in a couple of weeks so enrollment is starting tomorrow."
Kagome sighed in relief at the change of topic. "Yeah, I have to find a daycare today because I want to go to a real school. I've been homeschooled all my life."
Kagome and Sango made it to the mall and walked inside. The first stop was a store that sold bathroom things. Kagome picked out a zebra print set for her bathroom and a turtle set for the kids bathroom. Hiro loved turtles, they even had turtle towels that had hoodies on them! Kagome grabbed two for Hiro and grabbed two hooded unicorn towels for Aya.
The girls then went to a kitchen store where Kagome bought a black microwave, blender, coffee maker and an electric can opener. She was looking at plate and bowl sets when a man accidently brushed up against her back sending her into a full blown panic attack as well as having flash backs. Tears were flowing down her face and she couldn't breathe.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" The man said.
"I'll get her to calm down but I think you should continue on with what you were doing." Sango said making the guy leave. "Kagome? Calm down, it's alright. What you're seeing is not real-it's not happening. You're in the mall right now, completely safe." Sango rubbed Kagome's back taking out a bottle of water from her purse handing it to Kagome.
Kagome chugged the whole bottle before breathing in deeply and couple of times. "Thanks, Sango. I'm sorry."
"You don't have to apologize. Come on let's finish shopping." Sango said making Kagome smile.
Kagome picked out an emerald plate, bowl and glass set and grabbed a silverware set. Kagome found a cute little kid plate, bowl, cup and silverware set and bought one of Hiro and one for Aya.
Kagome and Sango then went clothes shopping. Kagome bought six new outfits for her along with three new shoes. She also bought jewelry, make-up and hair accessories. Sango also bought herself a couple new outfits and shoes. Kagome bought ten new outfits and four new shoes a piece for her kids and well as five pajama sets each.
Kagome then went into a store and bought four queen set bed clothes, two twin set and two toddler set of bed clothes, each with matching curtains. She walked into a baby/toddler store and bought Hiro and Aya car seats. She also picked up two baby monitors. The girls were about to leave when Kagome spotted a cell phone store, deciding that she defiantly needed a cell phone she went and purchased the latest IPhone.
With all the shopping done for now they decided to have a quick bit at the food court before leaving.
*Break*
Sango waited outside the daycare, waiting for Kagome to finish up inside. About thirty minutes later, Kagome walked out.
"Well, that's done and they start coming here tomorrow. I just need to get myself enrolled and everything will be right on track, finally." Kagome said. "I was going to go food shopping today but I'm just to tired! Will you pull into 'McDonalds'? I'm not hungry, since we just ate, so I'll just get the kids something to eat."
Sango nodded pulling in the parking lot and going to the drive-through.
Kagome ordered and looked out the window. 'What am I going to do?' Kagome thought biting her thumb nail. 'I'm running out of money! I only have a little more than three thousand left and I still need to get the kids toys and books and food! Not to mention keeping the utilities on and keeping the kids in daycare! Three thousand is going to be gone in no time!'
*Break*
Kagome sat at the kitchen table as her kids ate dinner. 'How can I get money, go to school and be a mother!' Kagome shouted in her head. 'There's no way that I can get a part time job! Maybe I can start babysitting here like I used to back in Japan? Yes! That's it! She could print flyers and post them around the neighborhood!
With a plan in her head she looked up and noticed the kids were done eating and already in the living room chasing each other. Kagome smiled, she loved her kids with all her heart. The sound of the weird yellow talking sponge, that she found out was called 'Sponge Bob', sounded from the TV and her kids quickly ran for the couch to sit and watch it.
After a couple episodes she looked at the time and saw that it was 7:30. "Okay, kids bath time and then bed time!" Kagome hollered from the kitchen.
After she tucked the kids in for the night and read them a book she stepped into the shower to start her own bedtime routine. In her new pajamas she brushed her teeth and crawled into bed.
*Break*
Kagome felt a tiny body jump on her bed and she smiled. She cracked her eyes open and saw it was seven in the morning-she must've been more tired than what she thought. Not a single nightmare, not that she was complaining. She could do without all the reminders.
"Mommy, hungry!" Hiro mumbled still half asleep.
'I have to go food shopping today after I enroll in school.' Kagome thought then turned to Hiro. "Would you like a donut for breakfast? There's a donut shop about five minutes away from here. Then you and your sister are going to daycare where you can play all day."
"Yay!" Hiro shouted jumping on the bed making Kagome laugh.
Kagome got up and walked to her closet putting on a turquois V neck shirt with sleeves that ended at the elbow. She fastened a thick black belt over the middle of the shirt. She then put on black washed out skinny jeans with a pair of black flats. She put in some sparkly silver dangle earrings, a necklace with a turquois gem on it. She completed the look with a white thick bracelet and white head band. Her make-up was simple with some brown eye-shadow and black eye-liner and mascara to make her chocolate eyes stand out and some clear lip gloss.
Kagome dressed Hiro in a dark blue dinosaur shirt and jean shorts with white and black sandals that hooked behind the heel. Aya she dressed in a sunflower one piece with a pair of white sandals with a white flower on top of each little shoe. She was just getting ready to put her phone in her purse when there was a knock on the door. Kagome went to unlock the door and opened it revealing Sango holding a brown paper back up.
"I come baring gifts!" Sango said making Kagome laugh and invite her in.
Kagome looked in the bag and saw four glazed donuts. "Thank you, Sango." Kagome cut one up in small pieces for Aya, she gave Hiro his and Kagome and Sango munched of their own donuts.
"Do you want a ride to the daycare then to the school?" Sango offered after they were finished with their donuts.
"Sure, let me put the car seats in the car then we can go."
About an hour later both girls walked out of the school. "I can't believe that I'm finally enrolled in a new school!" Kagome said. "Hey, do you think you can take me to the toy store then to the grocery store?"
"Yeah, we can do that." Sango said then they were off.
Please review. Until next time, bye!
