A Lost Angel Found
Chapter Three
A s Amy and Akiko walked downstairs to the kitchen, the little girl started to become nervous and tightened her grip on the woman's hand. Akiko simply squeezed Amy's hand gently in reassurance as they entered the room where the great smells were coming from.
""Good morning Amy dear. I hope you had a good sleep." mama replied cheerfully as she picked Amy up and sat in a chair, across from Souta. A minute later, a plate with eggs, bacon and toast appeared in front of her.
"Morning." Ami answered quietly. She knew that manners were important. Plus she didn't want to get hit for being rude. As she picked up a forkful of egg and toast and took a sniff of it, Kagome and InuYasha walked in. Kagome was about to scold Amy for sniffing her food, but Souta had seen Amy hesitate and pushed a forkful of food in his mouth. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his little cousin watching him.
"This is really good mama." Souta replied, swallowing a bit of food.
"Thank you dear, and don't talk with your mouthful please." mama answered with a small smile. She knew her son was helping Amy get over her fear of bad food.
"See Amy, mama isn't going to make you sick with bad food." Souta replied, raising an eyebrow at Kagome. His onee could be rather dense sometimes.
"Amy, I'm going to have to leave. I need to get back my place and job sweetie. I've left my phone number with her so you can always call me if you need to." Akiko replied gently as she wiped her mouth of any food.
"But why? I need you here." Amy pouted, fearfully. Akiko was the only one she knew who really understood what she had gone through.
"You'll be just fine Amy. Thank you for everything Mrs. Higurashi. Akiko stated as she stood up and pushed in her chair.
"You're welcome Akiko-san." Mrs. Higurashi replied and walked the young woman to the front door.
'Why do bad things always happen to me.' Amy thought to herself as she pouted.
"Amy, why don't InuYasha and I take you to the park for a while. I know you would enjoy that." Kagome suggested, trying to cheer up the little girl. She sighed when Amy only nodded her head. The little girl had definitely changed since they the last time they had been together.
