Chapter Five: Mother to Son:
The whole ride back to Kagome's shrine contained of nothing but the sound of the radio. Sango and Miroku looked at Inuyasha foully. They were both outraged with the stubborn hanyou. They both cared for Kagome like a sister. And to see Inuyasha degrade her like he did, made their blood boil. Sango and Miroku returned from glaring at Inuyasha to only lock their gazes with one another. The couple silently agreed what they would do when they got to Kagome's old shrine: Sango would take care of Kagome, and Miroku would 'take care' of Inuyasha.
Kagome pulled into the driveway of the shrine. The care came to a stop and Kagome opened her car door. She walked around to the back of the car and opened the trunk. The new couple followed her and they grabbed as many bags as they could carry and started up the steps to the shrine. Kagome dropped her bags in the living room and headed up stairs. Sango continued to follow her, but stopped when Kagome spoke.
"I just want to be alone right now." Kagome turned and gave Sango a faint smile. Sango nodded and faintly smiled back. Before Kagome turned to continue up the stairs she said, "No matter what, don't let Inuyasha into my room or any where near it. I don't think I can face him right now."
"We wont" Sango and Miroku both said in unison. They watched her return to climbing the stairs and into her room. They watched until the door was tightly shut to her room. They turned and nodded at each other and began walking towards the front door but was stopped by Kagome's mother.
"Where's Kagome?" she asked.
"Oh she is up in her room." Sango explained.
"Well, that's rude of her to leave you guys. I'm going to go and get her." she said as she started up the stairs.
"No!..." Sango snapped. Kagome's mother looked shocked. "Gomen nasai. Please forgive me, but Kagome does not wish to have company right now." Sango explained. (A/N: Gomen nasai means basically like 'I'm really really sorry'... it is used when the person is very apologetic)
"Why not?" she questioned. Sango sighed, she was hoping to avoid the 'why' question.
"Well, we were on our way back, when Inuyasha said..." Sango began.
"He said something about that girl, Kikyou didn't he?" Ms. Higurashi asked. (A/N: is it better to say 'Kikyou' or 'Kikyo'... I've seen it both ways... just a question...)
"Hai, he didn't mean what he said, I know that. But he compared Kagome to Kikyou. Inuyasha, he speaks before he thinks. Especially when he is frustrated or when someone says something that brings him back to his past." Sango explained.
"Hm, where is Inuyasha?" Kagome's mother asked.
"We left him in the car." Miroku replied.
"Right. Arigatou." (A/N: spelling on that?) and with that, she set out towards the front door.
"Uh, where are you going, if you don't mind me asking?" Miroku politely asked.
"Oh where are my manners? I'm going to go have a few words with Inuyasha." she explained.
"Oh, but we were hoping..." Miroku began.
"Don't worry, you will get your chance." she began walking again but stopped and turned around. "Thank you for taking care of my daughter when I am unable to." and with that she walked out the door and onto the smooth pavement, which Kagome's car was parked. Kara walked toward the black vehicle. (A/N: if you don't remember from Chapter 2, Kagome's mother's first name is Kara. I gave her one because it gets annoying typing Ms. Higurashi or Kagome's Mother over and over again. so yea...). Inuyasha sat there not moving a muscle, almost like stone. The only evidence that he was even alive was the soft movements of his chest going up, down, up, down and the occasional blinking of his golden orbs. He showed almost no emotion on his face. He was obviously in deep thought. Kara walked up to the driver side of the car and opened the door and got in. The breaking of the silence which Inuyasha had been sitting in stirred him from his thoughts. He looked to see who the intruder was. A small part of him hoped that it was Kagome, hell every inch of him hoped that it was the raven haired perky girl who he loved so dear. But he found that, to his surprise, it was Kagome's mother.
'What is she doing here? She's probably going to yell at me and order me to never see Kagome again. Then I'll lose her, just like I lost every other person who ever meant anything to me. My father, my mother, even Kikyou. Kikyou... is nothing compared to Kagome. Kagome is so warm, so caring and always full of emotion... and life. Kikyou is nothing of those, shes as cold as dirt and shows no emotion whatsoever. Oh Kami, what have I done? I just broke the girl of my dreams heart. And now I'm going to lose her forever. I swear to Kami that if I end up losing her I will take my own life. I just can't lose her. My life means nothing if she's not right there beside me. It means nothing to me to get up in the morning and not hear her sweet and innocent voice greeting me.' Inuyasha thought.
Kara noticed the concerned expression upon the silver haired boy. She gently smiled at him.
"I would like to talk to you, Inuyasha, about Kagome." Kara said. Inuyasha didn't know how to respond, so he just nodded his head lightly.
"I'm going to take you to Kagome's father's grave." she explained.
'Kagome's father? Kagome never once spoke of her father. He's dead?' Inuyasha thought. The vehicle began moving which snapped the silver haired hanyou back into reality. Kara pulled out of the driveway and began driving to their destination.
Meanwhile with Sango and Miroku
Sango and Miroku stared out the window after the car. Miroku held Sango, reassuring her that everything would be alright. He was just about to place a passionate kiss upon her sweet and tender lips when Shippo came jumping into the room. (A/N: Spelling on that? Again I've seen in spelt two ways... 'Shippo' and 'Shippou' which do you all prefer?) The couple pulled away from each other, a red tint appearing on their cheeks. Shippo rolled his eyes at the two lovebirds. He would ignore their unusual closeness for the time being. He had something else to get to the bottom of.
"You guys, why do I smell salt?" Shippo asked with an innocent look upon his face.
"Kagome must be crying." Sango said to Miroku.
"Crying? Why is Kagome crying?" Shippo asked.
"Well, I wouldn't doubt it. What Inuyasha said was pretty cruel." Miroku responded to Sango.
"What did he say to her this time?" Shippo questioned.
"Yea, he needs to wise up or he's going to end up with and awful big headache from Hirakatsu." Sango said to Miroku (A/N: again.. spelling on that? I'm not sure.. I couldn't find it on the internet...)
"You guys?" Shippo asked.
"I think it may take more that that." Miroku said. (A/N: aww.. poor Shippo!)
"Ugh! I'll just find out for myself!" Shippo yelled as he headed up the stairs grumbling. Sango and Miroku were snapped out of their conversation. They blinked in confusion as they stared after the kitsune.
"What's his problem?" Miroku questioned. Sango just shrugged.
Shippo grumbled small curses as he made his way to where Kagome's scent was the strongest, her bedroom. (A/N: I think Shippo's been hanging around Inuyasha too long!) He had to stand on his tepee toes in order to reach the door handle. He slowly cracked open the door and peeked into her room. the stench of salt immediately filled his nose. He found Kagome sitting on her bed with her hands up to her face. Shippo stepped in and quickly hopped on her bed.
"Kagome?" Shippo asked with a soft and concerned voice. The teenage girl slowly lifted her head revealing swollen red eyes and tear stained cheeks. Kagome found Shippo sitting before her.
"Kagome what's wrong?" Shippo questioned. Kagome attempted to smile but horribly failed.
"I'm just going through an emotional breakdown right now. It's nothing to worry about." Kagome assured him.
"You are crying so it is something to worry about. What did Inuyasha do to get you this way?" Shippo asked again.
"Don't worry about it Shippo. You're too young to..." Kagome was soon interrupted.
"I'm not too young! When will you guys realize that I am 12 years old! And that is only in human years! In demon years I'm older than you Kagome! I'm tiers of being shut out in the dark! You are my mother and I want to help! But I can't help if I don't know what the problem is! Please let me help like a son is supposed to be able to..." Shippo bursted out in anger. Kagome looked shocked. She couldn't believe that Shippo back talked her. Once the shock wore off, sadness returned to her eyes and her heart.
"I'm so sorry Shippo. I had no idea you felt that way. I guess it never occurred to me that you are growing up. When I met you, you were only eight and didn't understand very much, but now you are growing and becoming mature and I guess I never realized it. I'm sorry." Kagome cried. "And you are like my child Shippo, I love you and I feel that mother/son bond between us and I guess I'm afraid of letting you go." she continued. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I love you too, mama. Don't hold back anything from me. I want to be able to support you and be there for you mama. Like a son would be." Shippo explained sweetly. Kagome broke down at his words and spilled her heart to him. Mother to Son.
