Hidden Innocence
Chapter Three: Family Decision
The next morning Kagome woke up and found herseld still at the park. She pulled out her cellphone from her purse. She looked at the screen and seen 20 missed calls from her family. 'Oh great I'm gonna hear it when I get home,' she thought. Then she look at the time and it was like 7:30am. 'Oh man I better get home.' She looked down at her two friends who were still fast asleep. She smiled at how peacful they looked, but then she nudged them both to wake up. They were both startled and jolted up. "Hey guys, come on get up. We got to go, come on get up!"
"Huh? Where are we?" asked Ayame as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"Where still at the park, now come on we got to get home."
"What!" exclaimed Kouga.
"It's okay dad's out of town on a mission, you guys can just come over to my house," said Ayame with a smile and no sign of tiredness in her voice.
"Few, thank god, I really didn't want to go home to Gramps and gramma. Thay are awesome but man when they get mad they get mad," said Kagome.
"Okay well come on then, or I'm gonna leave you two behind," said Kouga walking towards the car.
"Hey wait up!" yelled Kagome pulling Ayame with her. They ran into the car and drove off towards Ayame's house.
Once they got into Ayame's house the two girls went to shower. Kouga wanted to shower too but there was only two washrooms in the house so he has to wait. He waited in Ayame's room while the tow girls took their shower.
Being the snoop that Kouga was he started to look through Ayame's things. He went through he drawers and found two books, one looked like it had a pad lock on it but there was no lock and the one looked really pretty and was really pink. He looked at the pink one first and sat on the bed. He opened the book and on the first page it said "My Childhood Memories." He turned to the next page and there was a picture of him and Ayame training when they were about 5 and 8 years old, and right underneath that picture there was a picture of him with Kagome at one side of him and Ayame on the other. They were all dressed up in fancy clothes. The picture was taken a few months after Kagome found out about her parents. As kouga flipped through the pages he saw how they grew up with each passing picture. It brought back a lot of memories. Once Kouga was done looking through the photo album he put it back from where he found it. Then he looked at the other book. On the first page there was a whole bunch of sketches with the words "Ayame's Diary" in the middle of it. Those two words sparked Kouga's curiosity.
He flipeed through the first few pages reading about the juicy little secrets from two year back. Then went to the last few pages. He read one of her recent entries.
' Dear diary,
Today while Kagome and I were training, I spotted that gorgeous boy again. He was talking to Mr Tanaka and he resembled him a bit. He has been training there everyday. He would always smile at me when he passes by. Just the sight of him would make my legs weak. He is possibly the most gorgeous wolf demon I have ever seen. He has short golden brown hair and beautiful emerald green eyes. He's tall and looks about our age or a year older.'
"OH MY GOD KOUGA PUT THAT AWAY!" yelled Ayame as she ran towards the bed.
"Oh hey Ayame, so you like that new kid, huh?" said kouga in a sly voice.
"Kouga I can't believe you were reading my diary!" she yelled again as she started to hit the guy continuously.
"Okay, calm down, " said Kouga trying to protect himself from the barage of punches from his cousin.
"Err, that was private! How could you! I hate you, I hate you!" she said with frustration still hitting her cousin.
"Hey whats going on here? and can I get in on the action?" said Kaogme running into the room throwing her wet towel and clothes on the floor, and landing on the bed.
"Well this jerk here was reading my diary! Can you believe him?"
"Kouga that's not right," said Kagome in a not so interested voice.
'Wow that's all Kagome had to say' thought Kouga.
"Kagome! You don't even care! Errr," whined Ayame as she stormed out of her room.
"So spill!" said Kagome with curiostiy "Any good dirt on our innocent little girl?"
Kouga couldn't help but smirk at her remark. "Well there is something that might interest you," said Kouga slyly.
"Well...what is it?" asked Kagome
"She likes the new wolf demon that started training at the hideout for a while now."
"Oh I knew she had a thing for him," said Kagome.
"So does she even know his name?" asked Kouga.
" I don't know if she knows but I do," she said "His name's Sai Tanaka, He's Mr. Tanaka's son. I've talked to his a few times, and everytime I mention Ayame he would blush."
"Looks like a match," said Kouga.
"Yeah. Well anyways you should go shower, and well I should go check up on Ayame," she said as she walked out the room.
When Kagome went downstairs she found Ayame sitting on the couch constantly changing channals while watching T.V. "Hey Ayame," said Kagome.
"Hmph."
"Hey come on you know I was just messing around," she said.
"I know but those things were private and I'm pretty sure you know them all now," Ayame said a little embarressed.
"Oh come on the only thing new was that you like Sai, which by the way good choice, but why didn't you tell me about him? Like I knew something was up and all but you never told me."
"I don't know," she said.
"Well guess what girl, you're in luck cause I'm gonna set you up with dreamy Sai, cause I can tell that he likes you."
"Oh My God Kagome please don't it'll be too embarressing," pleaded Ayame.
"Come on I'm calling him up," said Kagome as she pulled the phone out of her purse, that she left on the couch when she came in the morning, and was dialing the number.
"Kagome stop, give me the phone!" said Ayame as she snatched the phone from Kagome, and pressed the end button.
"Hehehe, man Yame I don't even have his number, I was just calling Kouga. God your so paranoid!"
Ring
Both girls jumped as Kagome's phone rang. Ayame looked at the caller ID and it read: "Gramps." Ayame handed the phone to Kagome. Kags just thought it was Kouga but when she looked at the screen her face read: "UH OH!"
"Oh no its gramps, he's gonna be so mad at me, you answer it!" said Kags as she shoved the phone to Ayame.
"Kagome it's your phone you anser it," said Ayame as she flipped open the phone and passed it over to Kagome.
"Hello..." she said in a sheepish voice.
"Kagome where are you? Why haven't you been answering your phone? And why did it take so long to answer?" said Naraku in a worried tone.
"Gramps I'm okay, I'm at Ayame's house, we came here after dinner, and I fell asleep and didn't here the calls. And it took me a while to answer cause I was looking for my purse," said Kagome.
"Well I'm just glad that your not hurt, can you come home now?"
"Okay I'll leave in 15 mins okay."
"Okay," said Naraku
"Okay Love ya, bye!"
"Love you too, bye," said Naraku. Then they both hung up the phone.
"So lemme guess your gramps is just glad your okay and wants you to come home?"
"Oh my gosh how did you know?"said Kagome in a sarcastic tone.
"Well I guess you gotta go then."
"Yeah I'm just gonna go upstairs and grab my other clothes and maybe Kouga's keys and I'll be outta here," said Kagome as she went back upstairs. When she reached Ayame's room she stopped and listened to see if Kouga was in the room. She didn't hear anyone so she went in. She went around the room looking for her clothes that she threw on the floor when she ran into the room. She found her clothes on the floor near the door. Then she started to look for Kouga's keys to the car. She couldn't find it anywhere, then she found his jeans. She picked it up and heard it jingle. 'Score!' As she readhed for the keys the door to Ayame's washroom creaked open. Kouga walked into the room wearing nothing but a towel.
Kagome was startled by the sound of someone else in the room. She slowly turned around and seen Kouga leaning against the door way. His body was in full view. With his damp hair and amazing body, the only thing Kagome could do was stare. A small blush spread across her face as she snapped back to reality and realized what she was doing.
"Sorry, I didn't know you were in here," said Kagome. " I just needed your keys cause I gotta go home."
"Don't worry Kags, just give me a sec and I'll drive you home," said Kouga.
"Okay."
"Just give me my pants and I'll be able to get ready," siad Kouga pointing to the pants in her hands.
Kagome's blush grew as she handed the pants to Kouga, turned around with her clothes in her hand and walked out of the room. She went back downstairs thinking about Kouga and sat down next to Ayame. 'Wow, what was that feeling? Do I like him? No it was just that he startled me, yeah he just startled me.'
"Hey Kags are you okay?" asked Ayame as she stared at Kagome's blank face.
"Huh? ... Oh yeah I'm fine, " said Kagome
"Well did you get teh keys?"
"No, Kouga's gonna drive me home, he should be down soon."
"Oh, okay."
About 5 minutes later Kouga came downtstairs. "Hey girls, well I guess we should get going Kagome."
"Okay, cya later Yame," said Kagome hugging her friend.
"Bye Kags, I'll call you later."
The two got into Kouga's car and drove towards Kagome's house. It was a 10 minute drive from Ayame's house. Once they arrived Kagome went insid, she invited him in bu the said no, knowing that Naraku will have a 'talk' with her. She understood, said her goodbye and went inside.
When she got inside she found that her whole family was there. Her three grandparents, her aunt and her uncle and her cousin Nazuna. They were all at the table having breakfast. When Kagome entered the room, all eyes were on her. They all looked serious. Kotori and Nazuna were the only two who got up and gave here a warm welcome. They pulled her towards the table, and they all seated themselves. There was an awkward silence until Hitoshi spoke up.
"So Kagome I heard about you little victory yesterday," Said Hitoshi " it all sounded very exciting."
"Yeah it was awesome," said Kagome with enthusiams.
"Kagome dear lets not get too excited now," said Kagura.
"Sorry gramma," said Kagome.
"Well honey we have all been talking about your future," said Kagura.
'Oh great I know where this is going.'
"Gramma I know you don't want me to follow dad with what he did but I'm gonna do it and none of you can stop me!" said Kagome.
"Well Kagome we are not going to stop you with what you want to do but you have to calm down," said Naraku who was sitting quietly.
"Well then what have you been talking about?" asked Kagome. She looked at everyone. Kotori and Kai looked down at their plates. Everyone was looking away. Then Kagura continues.
"Well like I was saying we have been talking about your future, and well we all think that you should go to high school this year."
Kagome's face went blank. She was perfectly fine in the life style she was living in, she didn't need to learn all that extra stuff when she already knew what she wanted to do.
"But gramma , I'm fine just the way I am at home.:
"Kagome that's just it. You spend all your day at home or out with your friends, training. You have no schedule, no commitments and even though you aunt teaches you with home schooling we think it would be better for you to live a normal life."
"Do you all feel the same way?" she asked looking at her family." Aunt Kotori, Uncle Kai, Grampa? Even you Gramps?"
No one said anything.
"Kagome we only want to do this for your own good,"said Naraku.
"Fine, I'll go to 'highschool.' Err this is so unfair," said Kagome mumbling the last bit under her breath, but Naraku and Kagura heard it. She then stormed out of the room angry and frustrated. She just laid on the bed staring at the ceiling. She really didn't want to go to stupid school. She has seen some of the retards taht fo to the closest school, she really didn't want to ascociate with them. While in her train of thought Kagome's cell phone rang. She pulled in out and seen Ayame's name on the screen. She answered the phone.
"Hey," said Ayame
"Hey," said Kagome in a bumbed tone.
"Hey is everything alright? Did you get in trouble?"
"Something like that."
"But you never get in trouble," said Ayame.
"I didn't get in trouble but my family decided that they want me to go ot school and have a normal life."
"Ouch," said Ayame
"Yeah so now I have to go to that stupid school, I think it's called Unemie High."
"Well it won't be that bad. I'm sure you'll like it."
"Yeah right, I would rather just chill with you guys."
"I'm sorry girl, you lucked out."
"Yeah tell me about it, hey I know why don't you come to the school with me then atleast I won't be alone."
"Uh...Kags you know you're my girl and all but I love not having to worry abou school."
"Oh come on Yame, you always said you would have my back."
"I do have your back but you know I can't so this, I wouldn't make you do this if I was in your shoes."
"Yeah I know it's just that I don't know what to do."
"Oh just do what you always do, whine you know your gramps will crack.."
"I don't think he will, you shoul.d habe seen the way he was looking at me when he talked he was so serious. Eh well I guess I'm just gonna hae to go and just see how it turns out." said Kagome.
"Yeah I guess so. Well do ya know when you go there?"
"No not really, but seeing as today's friday I'm gonna say on Monday," answered Kagome.
"Kay, well I'm gonna go now so I'll talk to ya later," said Ayame.
"Okay bye."
Both girls huing up the phone, Kagome lay on her bed again just thinking. Then she heard someone knocking on the door. She didn't answer but ht eperson walked in anyway. It was Kotori with her 12 year-old daughter. "Kagome I know your mad but school is not all that bad."
"Yeah Kags, school is actually fun, I met so many people and I learn so many things there, I have so many friends, you've seen them. Remember Rin and Kohaku, they are my best friends, " said Nazuna.
"Yeah yeah, I'm already going to the school so why are you bothering me?"
"Now Kagome, I know you're upset but please don't take it out on us," said Kotori.
"Well why do you want me to go to that school?" said Kagome in a snobby voice.
"It's only for your own good."
"Yeah, yeah so I've heard."
"Well your just gonna have to get over it."
"You know I wil. I can never hold a grudge against you guys. And who knows it could be fun,"Kagome said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, but Kotori didn't catch it. Nazuna on the other hand did and just rolled her eyes and walked out with her mom.
Kagoem sat there thinking abou what she wanted to do for the rest of the day. Not really wanting to see her friends at that moment she dicided that she would just stay in her room for a bit and maybe fo train at the hideout. Then the thought of highschool came into her mind and she became bumbed out all over again.
