Chapter 10: A Choice

Breathing through her nose Kagome utters, "I'm…not going to be living here anymore."

"WHAT!" roars the three gossip girls, "what do you mean you're not going to be living here anymore?"

"What are you talking about sis?" quickly worries Souta as everyone else had a stunned gaze on their mugs as Kagome visions around the table. What she had exposed was not a lie. A truth she made to herself and a subject she desperately needed to talk to her mom.

"Mom can I talk to you?" she turns her head to her mother who had an unsure feature from her daughters choice of words, "Sure dear."

The two women got up and, with Kagome leading the way, they step outside in the hot sun. From the noisy people walking by on the pavement and blockage of the window nobody could hear them. Breaking to a standstill a few yards away from the entrance the youngest out of the two had her back against the wineglass wall. The whole group including friends generally could see them outside because of this huge window.

"Mom I've made my decision," straightens out the priestess in a grave quality.

"What decision Kagome?" her mother tenderly situates her hands on her bony shoulders and her brown eyes capture hers.

"On which world I'm going to live in."

"I see…"

Ms. Higarashi got the point as Kagome nods calmly, "I've decided to live in the Feudal Era Mama," the tone on her appearance became very affirmative in making that choice.

"You love him that much?" understanding the mature lady travels her hands to her child's cheeks. The warm tender touch, a touch that she could one day risk never to feel again, made Kagome break. A liquid drop rolls south on the curvature of Kagome's cheek to Mayu's hand. The sand in the hour glass seemed to slowly fall in motion as time lingers through their lives while Mayu sights the loving gleam in the teen's eyes. Kagome's self esteem cracks as her voice whines in undertone, "Yeah."

The miko suddenly pushes through her parent's arms and hugs her. Tying her thin arms around her offspring in return Mayu had her chin against her collarbone as her chocolate eyes look down at her. Departing a mother daughter embrace they both smile at each other.

"Let me guess you guys talked in the hospital while we were heading our way?" predicts Mayu having a good guess on what the answer would be as the seventeen year old's cheeks were twice as rosy according to what they use to be, "Yes…we did."

"Has he already told his feelings for you?"

"As far in saying those three words," she grins in excitement.

"So he manned up did he," the adult folds her warm arms into a knot with a smirk.

"I guess you can say that," laughs Kagome.

"I'm not surprised; I knew you two had a bond…I was just…waiting."

"Waiting for what?" Kagome became clueless.

"For you two to realize that of course."

"Oh."

"I won't go against you in your decision, but at least come over and visit us every know and then," a graceful smile smears on her face knowing that one day she would have to let her daughter go to have a life of her own.

"Thanks Mom and I promise to visit ya'll as much as I can," the parent accepts it with pride. Letting go of her hands Mayu suddenly cups her hands together and pushes it against her chest. Scrunching her shoulders together she almost squeals with joy in closing her eyes as cherry hearts appear around her head, "Aww, my daughter has finally grown up and has found her true love! In which I hope to call my son-in-law one day!"

"MOM! That's a bit over due don't you think?" not expecting for her to say that last part the teen began to fell dizzy in thought of her being married, and to Inuyasha no doubt. She turns crimson from head to toe. Since her mother is still in her…dream world Kagome peeks behind her in seeing some parts of the group spying on her with Inuyasha being one of them. The sight of him even watching made her feel even more embarrassed. She was so blood red that she could probably shine like a ruby jewel if the sun hit her just right.

Dang it Inu look away! Please don't pay attention to my Mom. Maybe this wasn't the best place to talk but…he still looks so curious.

"What do you think Kagome means about not living here anymore," Sango smartly spoke to where Kagome and Mayu weren't an ear shot away as the two ladies head out the front door. Miroku shapes his hand around his future wife's ear and whispers in it, "She's most likely meaning living in the Feudal Era with Inuyasha."

"Oh," she lowers her voice as well in not wanting to risk the high school kids knowing about the idea.

"Should we talk with Kagome about this she looked down," Ayumi acts as the three girls ring around each other in their little world as Yuka replies, "I don't know this seems like a problem that she has to deal with herself, lets just leave her alone on this one," all of them agreed together.

"Normally when Kagome needs to talk to Mom alone it's serious," informs Souta glaring at his two family members outside as he then gazes at Shippo in whom he had been telling it to.

"Really, well I hope it's not too serious," wishes Shippo as he moves his neck bone to Yuri, "Are you worried about Kagome Yur…I-I mean Yuki...Yuki?" he was close in revealing her true self but caught it before he could say the real thing.

"That's not the main thing I'm worried about," the half-wolf half-dog demon had her eyes glued on Hojo's guy friend but not in he-was-attractive manner. He had been staring at her ever since Hojo and Kagome started a conversation. Creped out by it she at least gave him credit for him just looking at her face and not the shape of her body like what other guys would do. He didn't take his eyes off of her for a second and she was getting very annoyed. It was like fire and ice, "Excuse me mister but can you tell me why you've been staring at me for the past five minutes?"

The young teen had beautiful dark green eyes and sat back in having his elbows bent with his hands supporting his head. He finally comes out of his shell, "Because you interest me, you seem unique, diff-"

"Okay I get the point," she snaps furiously in showing him by her tone that she did care.

"Hey sorry I just like you is all…," he softly laughs while surrendering himself with raised up arms, "…you act like it's a crime." She quickly mutters, "you're the one that looks like your stalking me!"

In the boy's view he knew that he wouldn't get anywhere with this girl but continued, "anyway what your name?"

His continuous smirk lit a torch in Yuri and she made sure to not be near this one. She thought of him as some full-of-himself jock, "Why would you want to know? I don't intend to see you again."

He sighs, "man, you are a tough one…didn't your mother ever tell you not to judge people before knowing them?"

"Didn't your father ever tell you to give a girl a good first impression cause in my view you suck at it!"

"Ok then lets start over…hi my name is Goku what's yours?"

And I thought that was just in Dragon Ball Z…

"Oh, so you're a super sayan?"

Goku gives her a irritated version of him by features and the deepness of his voice, "no…"

Yuri chuckles, "struck a nerve did I..."

"You're mean…"

She defends, "well you get use to it buddy!"

Yet again he sighs at her playful rudeness and knew why she was so he gave up in getting her attention, "Okay…then what's that mark on your cheek and why are there also marks on the other guy with the straight white hair?"

"Um…we…just came from a festival," she lies and since she senses that he had given up she felt more comfortable talking to him.

"Never knew there was a festival going on in Tokyo today."

"Well the festival is in a small town outside the city. We paid some guy to paint our faces there," sins Yuri, keeping the secret of the creature that was buried in her and Sesshomaru, "Oh and the painter also put this type of putty on our ears to make it look like we have elf ears," she drapes her short light brown hair behind her pointed ear in which had the two striped markings on it as well in showing him.

"Interesting but how did you walk through the festival with an injured leg," questions Goku in distinguishing the cast on her leg, "Don't tell me you use your crutches the whole time?"

"Truth be told I did…but I'm okay."

"You must be so tired?" he thought in seeing her leg being laid on another chair since she couldn't bend it and felt bad for her in granting a faint sorrowful feature.

"Just a little bit, she said.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" in wanting to give her a hand.

"No thanks."

"No I insist I would really lik-."

"If she doesn't want your help then leave her alone," Sesshomaru snaps in annoyance in giving a glare over at the boy a table away with a sincere look. Telling him to back off.

H-he's defending me…

"G-gomen, it just always nice to have another hand for help," he mentions to get out of this situation.

"Does she seem interested in wanting another hand?" he talks back in flipping his silver hair behind his head from blocking his sight and the pale young man gulped, "no."

"Then I suggest you leave her be or you won't have a hand in need for anyone's help," his tone was not very merciful and he meant every word of it or he would be asking for it. Goku decides to avoid Yuri from know on from Sesshomaru's threat and Yuri peeps over at Sesshomaru and says thank you in a very unnoticeable pitch for the human ear to hear. The lord said nothing more as he moves his sight somewhere else.

Hojo and Inuyasha were both glimpsing at the two women through the glass window and were seeing Kagome embracing her mother in her mother returning the favor.

"Well I guess it wasn't meant to be," Hojo was discussing to himself in seeing the sight outside and Inuyasha turns his head to him, "huh?"

"For a long while I've been trying to get Kagome to go out with me but every time I asked her something would always occur and I never would get a straight answer from her ," he voices towards Inuyasha but not looking at him, "What's your name?"

"Inuyasha," in accepting his offer.

"Inuyasha huh…do you know Kagome fairly well."

"Yeah, we've hanged around each other for a while."

"Oh…I see…well who ever Kagome falls in love with someday will be a very lucky guy to have her…I just hope for the best for her," he beams in admitting to move on but his wood eyes still held grief and happiness at the same time. Inuyasha shockingly nods but at the exact time pleased for someone to think that he was a fortunate guy to have her.

"I like your hat it seems to suit you with that hair of yours," Hojo had an index finger in the direction of the everyday hat that Inuyasha is forced to wear in changing the subject, "Where'd you get it from?"

"It's Souta's actually," he nods his head to Souta in whom was playing with Shippo. All of the sudden Inuyasha looks over at Mayu and sees her not acting…well her. He stamps a very confused face on his head, "what the hell..."

"Oh my," Hojo joins him having his eyes as big as tennis balls in sighting her while Miroku and Sango had their fair share of seeing the show. The four beings saw Kagome glare at them, mainly Inuyasha, and watch her crimson facial appearance get bright in humiliation.

Hahaha, I loved doing the argue between Yuri, Goku, and Sesshomaru...:P I hope you liked it!
