InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Hidden Past ❯ Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

*Three days later*

 

“Bye everyone! I'll see you in a week!” Kagome said, before jumping down the well. A flash of blue and then silence indicated that she was gone. The group could see that her smile was fake, but they couldn't figure out why. Why wouldn't Kagome want to see her father?

 

“Miroku… Don't you think that Kagome seemed a bit… empty?” Sango asked. It was true. Kagome hardly ate any of her food. They couldn't figure out why, and when they asked her she would just reply that she wasn't hungry, except lately it seemed she was never hungry. They all noticed, but they didn't know what to do. They all tried to get her to eat, but she wouldn't. Maybe her dad would cheer her up…. At least that's what they thought, and hoped. (how wrong they are!)

 

“Yes, she did, but what could we do? We tried, and it didn't work. Maybe her dad will be able to cheer her up.” Miroku replied.

 

“But she stated being all depressed and stuff when she found out her dad was coming back. Maybe something bad happened, and she's not telling us everything.” Sango said.

 

“Feh. I think your all overreacting. Kagome's fine. She can take care of herself.” Inuyasha said, all though he was also worried about Kagome. What if they are right? What if Kagome is in danger? Inuyasha shook the feeling off.

 

“Come on dinner's ready. I'm gonna eat all the ramen if you don't come.” Shippo said coming up to them.

 

“Oh no you don't runt!” Inuyasha shouted, all thoughts about Kagome forgotten. It could wait, couldn't it? Sango and Miroku stared at each other before shaking their heads. Inuyasha had such a small attention spam.

 

*With Kagome*

 

“Kagome honey! You're here!” Kagome's mom exclaimed (she will now be referred to as Mama. And her dad will be called Kori—it means ice….)

 

“Yea mom, I wanted to meet dad when he comes home tomorrow.” Kagome said, putting up a small smile. Mama's face became serious.

 

“Kagome sweetie you do know that if he starts to hit you again, you should tell jichan or me right away, you know that right?”

 

“Of course Mama, I promise.” Kagome replied. “Where's Souta? Is he still at school?”

 

Mama smiled again.

 

“Yes, he should be home in an hour or so though. You can go pack in the mean time, I'll prepare something for you to eat.”

 

“It's ok Mama, I'm not hungry. I-uh, I ate before I came here.” Kagome said, lying. She remembered that her father would constantly tell her how ugly she was, how fat and stupid she was. She hadn't eaten for a week after the first time he told her that. Now that he was coming back, Kagome wanted to try and make a good impression this time. Maybe then he wouldn't abuse her. Maybe then he would accept her. Mama saw right through her lie, and suspected that she knew why her daughter wasn't eating.

 

“Nonsense, I'll make some rice balls for you and Souta. They should be ready when he comes home from school.” Mama said before turning around and heading back into the kitchen. Kagome smiled a bit. That was so like her mom, always able to tell when she or Souta was lying, although it wasn't usually that often. Turning around so that she could go in and unpack, she thought that maybe- just maybe- they could be a normal happy family. She quickly shook the feeling away. There was no way that they would be able to be normal. No, she couldn't just forget about what her father did to her. She only hoped, that he had changed. That he wouldn't abuse her verbally, physically, or mentally, or in any way. She wanted a normal dad, one that would be happy when she got an A+ on a test, not rip it up and tell her she's useless. She hoped that all those years in prison changed him, they even released him a year early due to good behavior (he was supposed to be in prison for 9 years and its only been 8) She smiled. Of course he had to have changed, he was released early because he was good, because he had changed. She smiled some more, a real smile, and headed in to pack. She wanted everything to be perfect when her dad came home.

 

so what do you think? Some of you might be a bit confused, so just ask me the question if you have it in either a review or email. (midnightrain112@yahoo.com) it doesn't matter how, but I want you to be happy and understand whats going on and stuff. Also, you find out why kagome's not eating…Um… that's really it for this authors note. In case you don't know jichan means grandpa, and like I said Kori means ice… cant think of anything else to say… bye for now! (oh and review!)
