InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Growing Up Fearless ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )
[ P - Pre-Teen ]
3.
Makoa opened her eyes and then immediately shut them. She groaned against the harsh sunlight that permeated her eyelids. Suddenly, the room was filled with the ear splitting repetitive BEEP of her alarm clock. In a rush to turn it off, she ended up smacking her head on the shelf above her bed and toppling to the floor.
“Ohhhh dear God…” she ground out, clutching her head.
Kale walked by, then backed up and did a double take. His eyes fell on his fiancé tangled up in sheets and blankets, clutching her head. Her hair a nest of tangles, her pajamas strewn around her body, and her face contorted in pain.
“Well what do you know…” he laughed, his brown eyes sparkling in amusement.
“Her majesty sleeping beauty’s up!” he yelled towards the house kitchen.
“Tell her to get dressed and come get some pancakes!” her mothers voice answered from somewhere to the right.
“Yes ma’am!” Kale shouted back, and then turned to his fiancé.
“So did you kill it?” Kale asked her.
Makoa looked up at him in confusion, and then her eyes opened. She held up her alarm clock, or what was left of it. The clock face was broken and a bouncy coil was swinging around.
“Atta girl” Kale said laughing, and then turned to leave.
“We’re gonna need another alarm clock though!” She heard him yell.
-------------------------------------
Kagome sat in a chair at a large circular table they used for breakfast each morning. She wore a pink and yellow polka dotted handkerchief in her hair, and stared intently at a magazine that sat in front of her.
Ayame sat a large coffee mug in front of her and tapped one of the pictures with her finger.
“That ones very pretty” She commented
“Sure, if some nuns wanna get married some day this would be perfect for em. Oh! Or maybe we could just use it as a tent at the reception!” Kagome feigned excitement at her brilliant idea.
Ayame slapped her in the head with the dishcloth, but smiled.
“How about this one then?” She pointed to the next page, “How much?” She asked returning to flip the pancakes. With their golden side up, their smell drifted around the house promising to wake up their last check-outs. Kagome had decided to close down the B&B in order to house the wedding guests.
“Let’s see…” She looked around the page for the price, “I’m not sure, doesn’t say” She said, shrugging.
“No it’s gotta be on there” Ayame said, picking up the magazine and studying the page.
“Oh! Here it is…oh…wow” She pointed to the long zero-ridden number.
“No way Ayame, that’s the like serial number or something” Kagome scoffed, taking the bridal magazine back.
“Oh yeah? Since when did serial codes begin with dollar signs?”
Kagome whistled, and the blew a puff of air in exasperation, her bangs flew away from her bewildered face and then settled back down onto her forehead.
“Maybe we could just use one of the table cloths…you can sew right?”
Ayame gave her a look.
“I mean like the nice white ones we use for special occasions!” Kagome defended.
Ayame’s look become more shamming.
“What! It was just a suggestion…” Kagome grumbled.
Ayame chuckled, placing the finished pancake on the table along with syrup and butter
A few seconds later the couple that was staying with them appeared in the doorway.
The young couple had been celebrating their honeymoon with them for the past week. The girl had long brown hair and usually wore an orange and white beach cover up. The young man had freckles and dark hair and eyes. He wore his shoulder length hair up in a little pony tail.
They sat down at the breakfast table.
“Good morning! I hope you both slept well last night?” Ayame asked, serving them each pancakes.
“Wonderfully thank you” The girl answered with a bright smile.
“Yeah, that cool breeze off the ocean is amazing or a good sleep” The boy agreed, eyeing the food happily.
Kagome smiled in agreement, and chewed on her pancakes.
“Where’s your daughter this morning?”
“I think her fiancé is still attempting to pull her out of bed…” Kagome answered, rolling her eyes.
“That girl could sleep until noon if it wasn’t for that alarm.”
Ayame smiled and shook her head at the truths in her friends words.
The couple ate in a comfortable silence.
Kale entered a few seconds later, wearing khaki cut off shorts and a shark tooth necklace. Every girl in the room gave him an appreciative glance. It was difficult to ignore the handsome young man with his boyish face and well toned body. The young man turned to his wife and coughed, the girl turned her head back to her husband and blushed.
“I love you” she mouthed, and kissed him cutely.
He smiled and shook his head, then continued eating.
Kale was quickly followed by a much more awake looking Makoa.
“Oof….that took a lot outta me” Makoa signed, plopping down into a chair near her mother.
“You…walked from the bathroom to the kitchen…” Kale said, smirking.
She stuck her tongue out at him and focused on her meal.
“Your mom and I were looking at some wedding dresses this morning” Ayame mentioned.
“Oh yeah? Any winners?” Makoa asked, her mouth full of pancake.
Kagome showed her a dress with gorgeous beading along the train. It had a scoop neckline and looked about as expensive as, say, their entire house?
“Oh mama, its lovely, but way too expensive for my taste” Make said gently.
Kale laughed, “Oh no, it my Makoa wants it, then she’ll have it”
He looked to Kagome, “It’s my pleasure” He said to Kagome. She smiled and nodded. She knew Kale was a bit archaic sometimes, but he would indeed take care of Makoa, and she wanted her daughter to have a more secure life than she had. Kale would provide that.
“No it’s fine, Id feel more comfortable in something less fancy anyway. I never liked getting all-”
“Nonsense! Only the best for you babe” Kale said, kissing the top of Makoa’s head.
Makoa smiled and looked down, swallowing her argument. Kale was only trying to make her happy. Plus, there were guests at the table. The female guest looked at her and smiled.
“You’re getting married?” She questioned.
“Yes we’re-”
Kale cut her off again, “Isn’t it awesome! I somehow wrangled this one into marrying me. I’m so psyched!” He put his arm around her and kissed her cheek. She smiled, it was difficult to stay mad at him when his excitement about the wedding was so sweet and charming.
The female guest laid her hand over her husbands and the two smiled warmly at each other, recalled their own recent wedding.
They were soon distracted by a loud knocking at the door, and the screen being abruptly swung open. In came a young man about 19 with short black hair and violet eyes.
“Kale! Come on! There’s a sick sandbar and we’re all skim boarding” He jumped up excitedly.
“Hello Miroku, why don’t you stay and have some pancakes?” Kagome asked the boy, hiding her smile at his childishness.
“Ah thanks Kagome, but I cant I gotta get back to the guys” He smiled at her and then looked at Kale expectantly. Kale looked to Makoa,
“You comin babe?” He asked.
“Nah, I’m gonna stay and look at wedding stuff with my mom, but you go” She smiled.
“Kay babe, I’ll see ya later tonight then, Dinner sound good?”
“You got it” She smiled.
He gave her a quick kiss and then got up, leaving with Miroku. They could be heard whooping and hollering down the wooden bath to the beach. Makoa put her hands over her eyes and rubbed them, sighing.
“I’m marrying a four year old” She signed.
Everyone chuckled.
“If you don’t mind me asking” The girl asked politely, “What exactly does your fiancé do?”
“He and his family own the Sand Dollar” Makoa answered.
“The…the water park!?” The girl asked shocked, the Sand Dollar was a famous water park where children from all over the world dragged their parents.
“That’s the one, yeah his dad started it a few decades ago, and he’s gonna take it over in the future. I think he’d live there if he could” She laughed.
They chatted for a bit longer, and then about an hour later, the couple left. Many congratulations were exchanged on either side.
Makoa leaned against the porch siding, watching the car become smaller and smaller into the distance. She wished the couple happiness, they seemed awfully in love. The wind blew her long hair around her shoulder, and she breathed in the salty air. Her mom and aunt came to stand on either side of her. She leaned her head against her moms shoulder, Ayame put her arm around her and squeezed her shoulders.
“Aunt Sango gets in tomorrow…” Her mom said. Makoa smiled at the thought of her crazy aunt.
“Who’s she dating now?” She asked.
“Kuranosuke or something, very rich apparently. We’ll get the whole scoop tomorrow I’m sure”
“I’ve missed her” Ayame said, listlessly.
Makoa and Kagome nodded,
She’s not the only one im excited to have dock in our harbor this week….Makoa thought, smiling.
The three women stared out into the blue morning sky, lost in their separate thoughts.
