Chapter 4: A Mother Knows Best-Not!
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----

There was this nagging feeling in the back of my mind. Like a bug flying around your face only no matter how many times you swipe at it, it wont go away.

It kept getting louder and louder. My eyes fluttered. The first thing I noticed was the darkness, next was the fact that I had been asleep for six hours. The last thing was that I could hear a voice calling my name.

“KAGOME!” I could hear footsteps coming up the stairs. I visibly tensed praying it was Ben and not the obvious source of my discomfort.

Looking toward my door I saw it fly open and in burst my dad.

“Kagome?” He looked at me with incredibility. Like maybe I wasn’t there and he was just seeing things.

I really hoped I wasn’t there, that maybe I could become invisible so I would never have to go to school again. Never have to see Inuyasha. Because I was TERRIFIED of him.

My dad stepped toward my bed. “Oh Kagome, I have been worried sick.” He sat beside me on my bed. Still looking at me like what he was seeing couldn’t possibly be real.

Enter Catastrophe number four

Kagome plus stupid choices equals crazy and upset mother/father

“The school called and told me you had bolted out of school, but I didn’t get it till I left just an hour ago. I was on a case about some unexplained disappearance. What the hell happened. I have been worried sick!”

I knew I couldn’t possibly tell him that I had ran from a boy. That would do great. I’d say something like, ’Yeah, this boy asked me to marry him and scared the shit out of me so I ran.’

I think he would hunt down Inuyasha and castrate him. And even though he made me nervous I wouldn’t want to see that gorgeous man hurt.

Here I was having to lie again. Wait. Didn’t that come back and bite me before? Oh well, you got to do what you’ve got to do. Maybe now would be a good time to suggest home schooling?

“Sorry. I felt really sick. I puked in the bathroom and I just wasn’t feeling well.” Not my best excuse but hey give me a break.

I was pulling this out of my ass. Ben nodded and stood from my bed. His face held a grimace, as if he had done something that maybe wasn’t the brightest.

“Crap. I called your mom.” MY MOM?

I leaped off my bed. I was so dead. I knew for a fact she was not going to accept me leaving the school for that stupid ass reason. What is with fathers who have to call a mother on every single little thing?

You fall down, and oh lets call your mom about a scratched up knee. You break a fingernail, and oh lets call her about that too.

Come on! Handle it yourself. BE A MAN. Damn it. Now I was going to have to call her and pray she didn’t tell Ben about it.

“Daddddd! Why. She’s probably going crazy waiting on me to call her. Ugh!” I shook my head and ran my fingers through my hair.

Ben just scooted slowly out of the room, then he stuck his head back in and he said, “Uh, you just call her and tell her you’re ok. I’ll get dinner started.”

Coward.

Sighing I picked up my cell phone and dialed the all to familiar number. I just hoped she had not called the FBI and sent out a search warrant. That would totally make my day.

“Kagome?” I could hear the worry and fear in her voice. I cringed, this was going to be ugly. For me anyways.

“Hey mom.” I took a deep breathe.

“KAGOME HIRAGASHI! I CANT BELIEVE YOU WOULD JUST LEAVE SCHOOL AND NOT TELL ANYONE. YOU BETTER BE GLAD YOUR ASS IS ALL THE WAY IN CALI OR I WOULD SO BEAT YOU TO DEATH.”

She screamed loud and proud. I wiped the sweat off my brow and was truly thankful that she was indeed many hundred thousands of miles away, because she never cusses. Ever.

I shifted through thoughts of how to explain this situation to her. I hoped and prayed my delayed answer would not piss her off more. I sighed. I would have to go with the truth. I mean come on its my mom. Aren’t they suppose to like tell you how to fix the shitty stuff in your life?

Like how to keep myself from fainting every time a certain hottie says hi to me.

“Ok, Mom. The truth is there is this guy--” I started off only to be interrupted.

“Guy? What guy? IS he cute, Ooo. What color are his eyes, how did ya’ll meet? --”

“MOM!!! it’s a really big issue. Come on you have to listen.” I cried out. Unhappy that she was excited about my misfortune.

I know you’re all thinking, Misfortune? A hot guy asks you to marry him and it’s a misfortune? But LOOK AT ME!

I am not just a regular girl and he’s not just a regular guy. I mean what guy asks a girl he’s barely said a word to, to marry him?

That’s just WEIRD.

Ok, so he’s hot, ok so he’s got a nice car! That don’t impress me much. Hahaha. I love that song.

But on the serious note. I’ve never really dated. Never had a serious relationship.

Well one, but that was my imaginary boyfriend. He dumped me for some crazy bitch that ate crayons, or at least that’s what the bitch said. I never could get him to talk to me after that. I think I have a tear in my eye.

“Kagome, it can not bet that serious. You’ve only been at that school for one day. And you didn’t even go the full day. Honey what’s the matter.”

I sat on my bed and pouted. Not a big deal. We’ll just see about that.

“Ok so I walk into school and there is this really cute guy. Mom he was a demon, and he made me nervous. Then all of a sudden--”

“Wait wait. A demon. You mean those imaginary creatures you were always talking about when you were young? Kagome there not real.” she rudely interrupted me.

Enter Catastrophe number five

Parents plus seeing crazy shit Kagome equals insane asylum

See what I mean about not saying anything I see out loud. Because no one believes me. So therefore, I rest my case.

“Look mom, they are real you are just going to have to believe me. I think by now I would have stopped talking about them. C’mon I am seventeen, a little to old to be playing make believe.” My voice stressing each word hoping she would get the memo.

I don’t lie. Or well at least I didn’t use to. Is saying that you don’t lie, when you really lied about six hours ago, count as a lie? This school is having a bad affect on me. I swear I could almost hear the prison bars slamming shut.

“Ok Kagome, lets say I believe you. So he’s a demon and I know when you were younger they made you nervous. So what happened?” She said in a not so sympathetic tone. Like maybe I was crazy, which I’m not by the way. I was totally trading her in for a new mom. It was officially time for an upgrade.

“Like I was saying,” I began hoping she would catch the memo and not interrupt me again. Because interrupting is just plain rude. “He was making me nervous because I realized he was a demon and he kept staring at me. Then all of a sudden, he’s standing right beside my desk saying hey to me. So I freaked and ended up fainting,” I explained slowly.

“What class were you in?” she asked.

“I was in my first class, homeroom,” I answered.

“Kagome, Ben said the school called and mentioned that you had left around lunch time?” She questioned me like any good mother would do. Maybe I wouldn’t trade her in after all.

“I know. I woke up in the nurses office and this lady kept on talking about how hot Inuyasha was and I thought my virgin ears where going to go in overload so I kindly--”

“Inuyasha??” She interrupted again.

“Yes, Inuyasha, Mom. Sheesh keep up. That’s the demons name. Anyways. So I kindly told her that I needed to get back to class.” I explained.

“I hope you were nice Kagome. I know how your kindly’s are. They’re not so nice.” She reminded me with a slight warning in her tone.

“I was nice.” I grumbled, “So I meet this girl in my first block, she’s really cool. Her name was Sango.” I was completely happy to tell her about my new friend. Even though she purposely set me up to fail, when I caught sight of Inuyasha.

“So we had the next block together and she showed me to my class, and we talked about stupid shi-- I mean stuff” I stuttered. I almost cussed in front of my mom. Ack!

“Stuff,” I continued, pretending I hadn’t almost said that naughty word. “ Then we went to lunch. So I’m sitting there minding my own business when Sango tells me Inuyasha also sit’s at that table.” I mumbled.

How embarrassing. I cant believe I feel like such a freaking dork. Hearing myself say all this out loud makes me realize how retarded I am.
“Kagome? Are you there?” My mom questions my sudden silence.

“I am. Well here he comes with two other guys, Miroku and Kouga. They all sit down and there’s this like awkward feeling because of my fainting.” Or at least it was awkward for me, everyone else seemed to not care.

“Miroku who is a pervert I might add--”

“A PERVERT?” She yells. “He didn’t touch you did he? I’ll kill him.” I giggled lightly. She was so old fashioned.

“No mom, he didn’t. Actually he groped Sango and everyone starts laughing.” I smiled to myself. “So here we are all laughing and then everyone stops and I’m left laughing looking ridiculous.” I was weary. Ridiculous didn’t even describe how insane I had acted.

“So, you were doing that laugh that draws attention?” I nodded my head before I realized she couldn’t really see me and said a brief ‘yea’.

“I look around wondering why everyone wasn’t laughing anymore and they have like this incredulous look on their faces. I looked toward Inuyasha because that’s where their looks were directed and mom you’ll never believe this,” I shivered. I still couldn’t believe it.

“Go on, I’m listening.” She replied.

“Ok Mom he was looking at me, AT ME! With this look of wonder, like he just got a Christmas present that he wanted really bad. He was smiling brightly and can you believe what he said.?” I asked incredibility laced with my own voice.

“He asked did you always laugh like that?” She asked in wonder.

“NO! He asked me to marry him, mom. MARRY HIM. Can you believe that. I am totally serious. Like everyone was flabbergasted and it made me so freaking nervous that I bolted. I mean how does someone react to someone asking them that?” I took a deep puff of air. I was out of breath because of my rambling another sign that I am totally a weirdo.

“Kagome, when someone ask you to marry them, you usually would say YES!” She yells so loudly I have to hold the phone away from my ear.

A look of disgust clouds my face. YES? I’m suppose to say yes to a guy I barely know. Gah! Parents, sometimes they are unpredictable.

“Seriously? Yes?” I repeat to her because obviously she cannot hear my thoughts and for that I am grateful. I have some not so nice ones floating around about her right now and they would probably get me grounded for forever.

“Mom. How can I say yes to a guy I barely know. And better yet to a guy who frightens me beyond my wits. I fainted mom. Fainted! When he said hey to me. A simple hey. No tone in his voice, just Hey, like you would greet someone. What is your problem?” I huff. She just doesn’t understand teenagers. Maybe it had something to do with old age?

“Kagome, I want grandchildren. I’m getting old. So go make nice with this boy and PRODUCE SOME!” Yep definitely old age.

Enter Catastrophe number six

My mom plus old age equals insanity.

I stared at my phone as if it had grown a freakishly large head. My mom was suppose to cock block me. Not tell me to hop into bed with this guy. She was suppose to say, ‘Now Kagome dear you just tell this nice young man you aren’t interested in his assets and go on about your business.’ But NO! She tells me to go for it. To have sex with this guy and produce babies. I’m only seventeen. I cant even take care of myself. What the fuck?

“Mom have aliens taking over your brain and gave me a retard for a mother instead. I am not having freaking babies. What the heck?” My mouth is still hung open. I pinch myself to see if I’m awake. Ow. Yep I’m awake, unfortunately.

“Kagome, just think about. This guy might really like you. You might end up falling for him. Give him a chance. Maybe he’s never been around a beautiful girl like you. I’m pretty sure he shocked himself with his question.” Ok, so you see why she’s the mother and I’m just the daughter who cant even handle one stupid guy.

Because she is wise in the ways of the men.. Who am I kidding? She fucking crazy and has absolutely no idea what she’s talking about. I knew I should have kept this a secret. Me and my big mouth.

“I think I’m going to go to bed now mom,” I had to get off the phone or else my mouth was going to get me in a shit load of trouble. I heard her sigh on the other end.

“Good night honey. Don’t forget to call me every once in a while.” I guess she wanted updates on my never going to happen relationship.

“Sure. Night.” I hang the phone up and throw myself back onto my bed.

I still couldn’t believe she had encouraged me to date him and, although she didn’t say it, fuck his brains out. What kind of mother has she turned into?

Maybe moving here wasn’t my brightest plan. Go figure. I was hoping to start fresh and be a different person. But no, I had to go and faint on my first day, and then bolt out of school because of the same guy.

Closing my eyes, I dreaded going to school tomorrow. I just knew everyone would be staring at me like I was a freak. Life was cruel.
