Musing over the past

 

Lost in her own though, Kagome was standing in the middle of the kitchen, her eyes moving rapidly from place to place as if in trying to grasp some fleeing thoughts. When Mrs. Higurashi looked at her daughter, she knew that something was not right. However she didn't know if she could help Kagome with what ever she was struggling against. Yes, they would talk, talk through the nights about many different things but nothing seemed to hold much of importance in Kagome's eyes.

 

 

“Kagome, honey would you like to help me with the cleaning. Sota is coming back home from that cousin of ours. I only hope they didn't spoil him much there.” Mrs. Higurashi said with a reassuring smile on her face. She wanted to get Kagome's mind off though thoughts that brought such a frown on her face.

 

 

“Maybe later mom. I still have to study you know.” Kagome stated starting to walk towards her room. I just want to get all of my feeling straight and facts too for that matter. Ahhh…what in the world am I gonna tell my mom. “Hi, mom …ah you know I will be staying home for a while, because my feelings are getting the better of me.” Right. Are they? What is happening? What if Inu Yasha shows up here? Yet, again she was pulled out of her musing by her mother's voice.

 

 

“…it would really help honey you know, I can use a couple of helping hand around the house sometimes.” Mrs. Higurashi insisted. She didn't want to leaven her daughter alone when she looked so upset. Studding or not, some physical activity can help to straighten out the mood. But didn't she get back home yesterday? Maybe she was tired or even hurt? There were no signs of injury on her body. Maybe again, it was something that was better left alone for a while, maybe there where wounds just not visible to the loving mother's eyes.

 

 

Kagome turned around to look at her mother. “Uh…mom…sure I'll help you, just give me some time to change (as she still was wearing her school uniform) and maybe I'll help you with cooking?” Doing something else besides mopping rounds her room and blankly staring at the text books could really help. Maybe it was better to spend some time with her mother.

 

 

“I'll be waiting hun!” Mrs. Higurashi exclaimed. She was not going to take any more of this depressing atmosphere in the house.

 

 

With those words Kagome rushed to her room and started picking out an outfit to wear. Ok…I'll help mom. I am really getting depressed here. If Inu Yasha comes then well….then….I'll deal with him. For now I just want to live my live as any other 16 year old girl would. Wait am I 16 or 17? Wow…I am really loosing it. She laughed. Finally found something that was suitable for doing house chores. Its not like I am going on a date…Kagome changed and ran down the stares to the kitchen, where her mother was already waiting for her which the bowl of potatoes.

 

 

“What are we going to be making?” Kagome asked.

“Whatever you want dear.” Her mother said. As she watched a small smile play itself on Kagome's lips.

 

 

“I know just the thing then”

 

xxXXXxx

 

The day seemed to fly by, as the house stood clean without a single dust mote floating in the air. The dinner was ready on the table. Just then Sota called in to inform his mother that he wanted to stay over their cousin's just for one or two more days.

 

 

“Are you sure he wound be much trouble for you, Hitomy?” Kagome watched as her mother happily chatted with that sister of hers. Sota is not coming home today, now is he. Great at least it will be quite at home. Wait, but I really wanted to see him! Kagome grimaced as her hands flew over her chest. Her heart of aching again.

 

 

“Waits wrong? Are you ok? Honey, answer me!” Her mother screamed. As her eyes began to fill with tears.

 

 

“Its ok mom, I am alright.” Kagome mumbled as she ran to her room. She shut her door and threw herself on her bed. Hearing her mother apologizes to her sister over the phone. Why is this happening? What have I done! The tears started to make their way down her flushed cheeks.

As she took out a big piece of Shikon(sp?) Jewel and held it in her hands.

 

 

And then she saw it again, the trace of black smoke, as it swirled in the jewel. Why can't I purify it? Or is it my fault that its there? Kaede said that its it the reflection of my heart, but do I whish ill…no… WHY! It was only a small dot before…when I first saw it. I am a priestess I would be able to do something….it can't be my fault…I don't choose the way I feel!

 

 

Kaede's words echoed in her mind. “Oh child, ye do not know how greatly this troubles me. This jewel, is connected to yer souls my dear. Ye must fight and come in term with ye fillings or this jewel will be consumed…consumed by the…”

 

 

“There you are wench! What are you doing sitting here, we should be looking for the jewel shards!” Inu Yasha said as he made his way in the hut and now was glaring at the girl who was sitting in front of him.

 

 

“INU YASHA! If you can't see for yourself, I am having a very important conversation with Kaede, so…”Kagome started, as a very annoyed look crossed her faces.

 

 

“Now, now my child that's alright. You should finish collecting the shard as fast as you can, there is still hope…Go, go now I am getting tired.” Kaede said as she was getting up.

 

“I still have work to do.” She finished. As she bend down to pick up the stack herbs that was lying in the corner.

 

 

“Thank you Kaede.” Kagome said sullenly as she walked out of the hut, with a very angry Inu Yasha walking behind her. I can do this. She thought.

The end of the second chapter. ^_^ I hope that you like it.

While rereading my 1st chappy though I came across many spelling mistakes, hopefully I'll repost it soon, I have no idea of how I could've missed them before.

Now regarding the story, I have a very interesting plot in my mind, hopefully when I put it on paper it will come out exactly how I want it too. Ah….that's it folks (for now).
