Chapter 6

 

The crowds gathered in excitement and fear at the same time as the high schoolers looked among the list to see who graduated and who didn't. All eyes scammed for they're names. Kagome winced seeing her grades. But sighed with relief to see that she had made it she was no longer going to have to worry about classes bothering her any longer. She turned to her friends.

“I did it! I passed.” The woman called out in excitement to the three girls beside her.

It's surprising considering what your attendance and grades were” Eri commented. Kagome glared.

“I had things that were going on and could not be helped. Now if you don't mind I have to get going. “I have to let my boyfriend know that we can now get married and I can move to his place.” The group eyed her as she smiled,

“Your getting married Kagome?”

“Yes. And really the sooner the better.” Kagome said with the grin of relief before running out of the school and towards her family shrine. When she got in she found Shippo playing on the floor.

“Shippo, you are not using crayons on the floor are you?

“No Kagome I'm not.” He said eyeing the girl.

“Good boy you better not be.” She said warningly. He nodded.

“I'm only using paper as you ask Kagome. She smiled at this, “Go ahead and clean up and get you nice clothes on, were all going out tonight. I passed all my exams and will no longer be doing them. And to celebrate were all going out to dinner. And I mean by you me, and InuYasha.”

“Do you think it's wise to take him out like that?” Kagome shot the boy a harsh glare. “And what do you MEAN by that?” She asked.

“Well it's just that…”

“Shippo if you do anything to provoke InuYasha while were out, I will make sure your hide regrets it and regrets it well. Do I make myself clear?” The kitsune nodded stunned at her tone and words.

“I do not hear nods son. I prefer that you give me a yes mother, in terms of respect. Now is THAT understood?”

“Yes mother I understand.” The child whimpered out still stunned.

“Good now go get in the tub it's already filled for you, I'll bring you your fresh clothes. I want you in there and you need to wash everything, including your hair.”

“I don't take it out of that ribbon remember.”

“You need to this time and you're going to even if I have to do it myself.”

“NO you can't!”

“There isn't a choice Shippo, your going to have it done like it or not. She told him sternly. He shook his head no at that. “Then you leave me no choice I'll be giving you your bath myself.”

“What no I can do it myself!”

“Shippo why is it so important that you wear your hair back in that ribbon?” The boy covered his mouth so that he would not spill the truth.

 

Waking in sweat, Rin looked around trembling as she grabbed her throat just to make sure that she still had her head attached. Even though it was still dark she climbed out of bed and headed to the main hall and into the sitting room where the fire still crackled. She gathered herself close to it wanting… No needing the fires glow. She trembled on as she stared on trying to find away to relax. Hours passed as the girl sat there.

“My goodness dear, what are you doing up.” Rin about jumped out of her skin.

“I'm sorry my dear I did not mean to startle you so.” Nana said walking over.

“It's alright Nana, I just couldn't sleep well last night that's all.” The old Inu demon woman eyed the girl.

“You have not been sleeping well for many nights child, is there something troubling you?”

“No not at all, I just have that sometimes.”

“Rin my dear you are just as bad as the inu demons here you can not tell a lie to save yourself.”

“Really there's nothing going on it's all just about the past, no big deal alright. The child said getting up and heading outside in a hurry. The old servant shook her head deciding it would not be a big deal really and decided to mention it later to her lord and see what he had to say about his daughter's odd behaviors.

Outside the child pouted trying to think of what to do. The fears that ran through her head ran in lightning fast speed. Yes she was afraid to die, but she was also afraid to not tell. She was afraid that Sesshoumaru would not want her any longer if he had heard what she heard and what she had been teaching herself over the past two years.

While pouting the kitsune sat there as Kagome pulled the hair tie out of his red hair and for the first time realized the mess it was in. She winced knowing this was going to take a bit. Using a cup she started pouring the water over the ends of his hair to make it easier first and put a good handful of shampoo on there first, letting it sit a while to get all the nurturance that it had been needing. While it soaked she took a wide tooth comb and started working out the knots that had been there for the longest time. It took a good two hours and three bathtubs full of hot water to get the child's hair cleaned.

Wrapping his towel around him Kagome pulled the boy out and set him on his feet while grabbing a set of overalls for him. Thinking it would be best for him in her time for something like this. He eyed her but did not say a thing still mad about the having to take his hair down.

“There we go it looks more of the way InuYasha's does now Shippo, now that it's all clean and fluffy she said taking a soft brush though his tail while trying to figure out how they were going to hide that.
