Chapter Thirty pt. 2
Hana giggled happily and ran down the hallway before turning and opening one of the doors. "THIS IS MY ROOM!" Hana shouted happily.
They looked in Hana's room and saw pictures all over the walls. "You can come in." Hana said jumping on her bed.
"Don't jump on the bed." Kagome said with a sigh as she grabbed some clothes that were sitting out and put them in the drawers.
They looked quietly around the room and saw a pile of stuffed animals that were different sizes and looked to have different feels to them. Some of the animals, Inuyasha noted, had Kagome's scent on them which told him that some of the animals had belonged to Kagome once but were given to somebody who would play with them more often than she would. "This is where you'll be sleeping, Sango. If you have any problems with there being pictures of demons all over the walls, just let us know and we'll take them down." Kagome said referring to the numerous pictures of different youkai types.
"No problems." Sango said noticing several pictures that had Yusuke and his friends with Kagome and Hana.
From the impression she got from the pictures, they were a way for everybody to remember events. There was one of a much younger Hana laughing as a younger Kagome and Yusuke managed to hold identical grins but in the next one it was just Hana and Kagome, sorrow showing clearly in Kagome's eyes. What had happened from the time the first picture had been taken to the second one? The pictures after that always showed Hana with somebody else. Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei were immediately noticed then there were pictures of Hana with people Sango didn't recognize. The blue haired woman, Botan, was in one of the pictures wearing a pink kimono floating on an oar with Hana hanging on pretending to be afraid that she was going to fall.
It was obvious that everybody in the pictures cared about the small girl from the way they took care of her. Then something caught her attention. There was a picture of Hana with a couple of adults, a man and a woman. The woman had warm brown eyes and it took only a second to see that the woman and Hana had the same smile. The man, however, wasn't smiling and his eyes were cold. He had the same build as Hana, or rather, Hana had the same build as the man, but there were no other similarities. "Hana's parents." Kagome said softly noticing that Sango was staring at the first and last family picture Hana's parents had taken. "That was when Hana was probably about four. About a year before her dad got locked up and her mom abandoned her."
Everybody looked at the picture and could see a fake innocence in the child's eyes that should have been real. "Mommy didn't abandon me. Mommy's going to come back, she said so." Hana said stubbornly hugging her pillow tightly. "Mommy doesn't lie to me. She and daddy were just having problems, that's all. She'll come back for me soon, you'll see."
Kagome shook her head a little before saying, "I know. Your mom's going to come back and your dad is going to be so much happier and they're not going to fight anymore."
"exactly." Hana stated proudly.
Kagome shook her head again before saying, "Sango, you can have Hana's room to yourself if you want. Hana and Shippo can sleep in my room with me so neither one wake you up."
"Why would they wake me up?" Sango questioned looking confused.
"A certain somebody enjoys getting up in the middle of the night to go into my room to hit the floor until I turn on the light and tuck her into my bed with me." Kagome answered. "Trust me, she's not quiet."
Sango nodded in understanding and sat down on the bed, surprised how soft it was. "No wonder you're so eager to get home. These are really soft." Sango said looking surprised.
"Yeah." Kagome answered before they left the room.
They stopped for a minute as Kagome stuck her head in a room and looked amused when she pulled her head out immediately with a disgusted look on her face. "Inuyasha and Miroku, you two will have to sleep in the living room. Souta's room isn't exactly… tolerable right now."
"Ka-ka?"
"What?"
"Can Shippo and I just sleep in my room with auntie Sango? So no monsters get her?"
Kagome silently laughed and nodded. "Okay, but if you wake up you have to right back to sleep. None of that hitting the floor."
Hana nodded in agreement and jumped up and down with happiness. "Hey, Hana, why don't you take them downstairs? I have to get ready to watch the charming little monsters."
Hana nodded and led everybody downstairs, showing Miroku and Inuyasha how the couch folded out. Within fifteen minutes Kagome came downstairs with her hair tied up, wearing a pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt. "See you guys tomorrow." Kagome said hugging her friends.
They watched as Kagome went out the door and saw her jump through a portal. "Who's hungry?" Mrs. Higurashi asked poking her head out from the kitchen. "We have pizza ready."
"PIZZA!" Hana shouted running into the kitchen. "PIZZA! PIZZA! WE ALL WANT SOME PIZZA!"
Smiling softly, they walked into the kitchen curious on what this 'pizza' could possibly be.
A few hours later Inuyasha and Miroku were sound asleep on the fold out bed while everybody slept upstairs. Inuyasha jumped slightly when he heard the door open and close and heard soft footsteps. "There's leftovers in the fridge." Inuyasha said knowing immediately who it was.
"Thanks, Inuyasha. You should probably go back to sleep. Sorry if I woke you." Kagome said gently kissing Inuyasha's forehead.
"Feh." Inuyasha answered accepting the kiss. "You smell like puke."
"One of my favorite monsters got sick. They're doing better now. Sleeping at least." Kagome answered. "I'm gonna have a quick supper than I'm heading upstairs to take a shower. Then after that, I'm heading to bed."
Inuyasha nodded and yawned a little before drifting off to sleep. He knew Kagome was most likely tired from dealing with kids so he wouldn't keep her up. Besides, Kagome told him what she was planning incase Inuyasha wanted to join her at some point.
Kagome smiled a little as she watched Inuyasha sleep and quietly went into the kitchen to get something to eat. After she had eaten, she went upstairs and took a quick shower before changing into her nightclothes. Quietly, she checked up on everybody, relieved to see Hana still asleep. When she was satisfied everybody was okay, she went to bed immediately greeted by dreams.
