InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Baby Love ❯ Running Fast ( Chapter 11 )

A/N: I just found out that Matt lives not to far from me. I stay in Syracuse, New York, and he stays in Rome which is just north of us, OMG! It's the biggest coincidence in the world. How is this possible? Anyway we've traded numbers and e-mail addresses so we can keep in contact when we go our separate ways. This is amazing.

 

Chapter 12

 

Kagome sat on the floor of the bathroom, waiting for her stomach to settle and debating on how to tell her family. Her mother was always warning her about this kind of thing and to top it all off, now she would never get into college.

I just can't tell her…that's stupid how can I not tell her? I can't go back through the well. Inuyasha won't want this baby, he barely put up with Alexei. I'll just have to find a way to hide this.

Kagome mentally smacked herself for what she was thinking. Even if she didn't want an abortion her mother might force her to get one, Inuyasha didn't want her, and she couldn't get through the well without the shikon shards if she tried. These last thoughts caused her to burst into a wave of tears.

How could I do something so stupid? I can't even get support from Sango and in the Feudal Era at least their used to teenage pregnancy. How will I…what's that?
Looking down Kagome noticed the light of what appeared to be a shikon shard.

I thought I'd left all of those behind, with Inuyasha. Well I guess it's decided, I'll stay in the Feudal Era. I know people there and maybe they'll be shocked, but I know they'll support me. Wait are you insane? You can't live in the Feudal Era forever. What about Mom and Grampa and Sota, and Buyo? I can and I will.

Her decision made, Kagome walked into her room and shut the door, then sitting at her desk she wrote her family a letter, letting them know where she was and what was going on. Finished with the letter, she grabbed three of her bags, and began to stuff clothes, personal hygiene items and pictures into them. Using the last bag for all of Alexei's belongings she closed her eyes to hold back the tears, put on a new uniform, and marched downstairs to spend some time with her family for the last time.

 

The house was almost complete and Inuyasha was taking a well deserved rest. He'd worked nonstop for three days on this house, now all he had to do was find a way to put color on the house. Bright color. Kagome had always liked a lot of color. He had found some furniture, unused and had put it in strategic places to give the house a bright, homey feeling. It still seemed as if some thing was missing though.

Wait, I know! We can go to Mother's home and gather some things from there. It will be perfect.

With this thought in mind Inuyasha leapt into the trees, headed towards the little known area of Edo in which he had once resided with his mother.

Reaching his destination about 30 minutes later, Inuyasha stood in front of the small but prominent house letting memories wash over him before heading in.

Immediately going to what had once been his mother's sitting room, he gathered a bundle of books, a few portraits of her with his father and a small intricately woven blanket, which had once been his. It portrayed a typical forest scene with him high in the braches of a tree, sleeping. His mother could be seen resting at the base of the tree her eyes looking in his direction. When he was little he'd never been without this blanket. That was until the Siege of the Fort where his father had been hiding them from angry demons out for revenge. Shaking his head to clear it of useless thoughts, Inuyasha headed back to where he knew his mother's bedroom, he opened her wardrobe and pulled out a few traditional kimonos that looked to be about Kagome's size and matched her complexion. Making one last stop on his way out, Inuyasha grabbed a few more items, and then looking around and fighting down the memories that threatened to consume him, headed back into the woods. This house would be unlike anything Kagome had ever seen before and she would love it.

 

Tokyo, Night 1998

 

Lying in her bed Kagome reminisced on what had happened today. She memorized the faces of her friends and held the memories of their last day together tightly in her mind's eye.

“Kagome, dinner.” Her mother's sweet lyrical voice, so much like her own but with a huskier undertone brought a sudden rush of tears to her eyes. Pushing them back and pasting a bright smile onto her face. She reached under her pillow and pulled out a shikon shard followed by a letter. Placing them both on her desk, she hoped for the last time that she was doing the right thing, and that her mother would use the shikon shard to contact her eventually. Moving the bags to the door to make for faster travel, and picking up Alexei, she headed down the stairs, her face a pictures of happiness, her mind a turbulent sea. Laughing and enjoying her time Kagome reached over and rubbed Sota's head for a few seconds and hoped that he would grow to be a successful businessman, looked at Grampa and wished him the best of luck with his life, then finally looked at her mother and tried to tell her how sorry she was by using her eyes alone.

 

Tokyo, Near Midnight 1998

 

Grabbing her three bags in one hand and making sure Alexei was tucked safely against her side Kagome popped her head into each room of her family, memorizing how Sota looked while he slept, how Grampa muttered in his sleep about sacred scrolls and evil half demons out to steal his granddaughter, and then looked in on how her mother slept so peacefully. Tiptoeing quietly down the stairs she rummaged in the cabinets for the last of the ramen, grabbed the 7 cans of formula, and the 60 bottles of baby food she had stocked up on earlier that day, and opened the door silently. Closing it behind her, she swiftly moved across the shrine grounds, memorizing as much of it as she could in the dark until she came to the hidden well. Pulling open its doors and running down the stairs she looked around her and whispered goodbye, hoping that it would reach the ears of someone that night. The sudden flash of blue light whipped through the night, taking with it all traces of the young miko and her possessions.

 

Tokyo, Morning, about 8:30, 1998

 

Curio Higurashi headed up the steps towards her daughter's room inexplicably worried that something was wrong with her. Pushing the door open softly, after hearing no response to her soft question, she stood, frozen in the doorway. There was nothing left of her daughter's belongings except the bed and the sheets on it. Everything was gone, except for the electrical appliances and the things to heavy to carry.

Ready to run down the stairs toward the mini-shrine she stopped abruptly at the sight of Kagome's light pink stationary. Going over to the desk, she pulled out the chair and opened the letter slowly, scared of what she might find. Out fell a shard of something, and placing it on the desk carefully, she unfolded the letter.

 

Dear Mama,

I am truly sorry that this is the way you have to find out about some things, but I didn't know any other way. If you are reading this it means you have figured out that I'm no longer here in this time period. I made a couple of mistakes Mama, number one being to give myself to Inuyasha; it was something I thought was right at the time. Number two was forgetting all about protection in the heat of the moment. I will never call what resulted from these mistakes a mistake, because to my heart this baby isn't. You always taught me to believe in destiny, and I believe it is my destiny to have this child, I can't explain it, but that's just what it feels like. I want you to always know that my mistakes rose from my own stupidity and nothing you did. You have been the best mother any girl could ask for, and I want you to remember that. I know running is a coward's way out, but I don't know what else to do. I am sorry. Maybe one day I'll work up the nerve to come back, but if I don't I've left you a way to contact me. The shard that probably fell out of this letter you can use to transport anything big enough to fit through the well, like a letter. In the meanwhile you shouldn't worry about me, I'll be fine. Please tell Sota that I'll miss him and I love him and that he can have my anime collection. Also you should use my college fund for him, he deserves it. Tell Grandpa that Inuyasha didn't force me to do this and I'll always love him as well. For you Mama, I love you with everything I have I always will, and maybe somewhere you'll find it in your heart to forgive me for this. Goodbye, Mama live long and happy, and one day I promise I will see you again.

Love, Kagome, your daughter.

P.S I took all the ramen, sorry

 

Curio wiped all the tears from her eyes, and smiled. Racing down the steps to the shrine and hoping Kagome would be able to hear her, she whispered into the well: “You didn't need to ask for my forgiveness, you already had it.”

 

That's that. Do you guys think that Inuyasha will accept Kagome back into his human heart, and how will she react when she sees the house? The story is almost at an end there will probably be about three or four more chapters until the epilogue.

In answer to reviews:
