InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Shikon no Tama High ❯ Sparks ( Chapter 2 )

Kagome sighed, dropping her keys into the badly-shaped clay bowl made by Rin for Kagome's sixteenth birthday. Rin was sleeping peacefully in her arms after tucking her into bed; Kagome flopped on the couch, exhausted. Ice cream turned into the mall followed later by the cinema to watch `Enchanted.'

 

Now alone she was at a loss of what to do, although living alone is every teenager's dream, to Kagome it was lonely, hard and a chunk of her pay check. However, it was the only opinion, her father died when she was ten and her mother… ugh she was not a parent, well not to her at least. Her mother was an alcoholic, an evil drunken bitch who inflicted mental and psychical anguish on Kagome, cutting, slapping and abusing her along with blaming her for her dad's death. This had become a daily routine for Kagome but when her mother slapped Rin, Kagome's sisterly instincts kicked in. She grabbed Rin, drew all her money from her bank account and inheritance, and ran. Moving to New York and renting an apartment from a sweet elderly couple, Kaede and Myoga. On weekends she worked as a maid in the Taisho residence however she was yet to see who the Taisho's were but the pay was amazing so she wasn't too fussed.

 

Her thoughts drifted to a certain silver-haired boy, creasing her brow she wondered if she'd ever figure him out. One moment he was being a complete ass, the next he was buying ice-cream for her and Rin-chan. Shaking her head, she diminished those thoughts and strolled into her bedroom. A cosy smile crossed her lips when her bed came into view, switching to her pyjamas and snuggling into the bed for a well deserved sleep.

 

 

Kagome awoke to a persistent poke to her left side, at first she tried to ignore the irritating feeling by cuddling up to her pillow willing the seductive allure of sleep to grasp her hazy mind once again. But when the poking continued she felt for it and pulled the source towards her.

 

A squeal erupted from the being, along with giggling as Kagome tortured it with a series of tickles and wet kisses. Finally cracking one eye open, her eyes met a familiar site of a young girl with shining ebony locks and round honeydew eyes radiating love and admiration towards her. A warm smile met its way to Kagome lips as she looked upon her young sister. Seeing her little sister so happy and radiating of child-like wonder, Kagome knew that the hunk out of pay check was worth it just to see her sibling like she is now. She was worth far more than money.

 

A grumbling stomach snapped Kagome from her musing to see a sheepish Rin with blushing cheeks looking away.

 

“Want breakfast Rin-chan?” the older sister smirked.

 

“Yes please sissy!”

 

Throwing the bed sheets away from her body, Kagome walked to the door and grabbed her robe. Putting on the cream silk fabric, she turned to her little sister.

 

“Wanna help?” A blur of red and black rushed past Kagome, along with an eager voice of Rin telling her to hurry up. Rolling her eyes the eldest of the two set off to the kitchen where an impatient child awaited her arrival.

Walking up the school steps, Kagome sighed. She just dropped Rin of at day-care, apologising about Rin running out the day before. The older girl had to literally pry Rin off her so she could go to school. Seeing Rin's face pressed against the window, her sad eyes pleading with her to come back and take her home almost tore her apart, bringing tears to her eyes. It made her wonder if she should just stay home with Rin as her job was only on weekends, the only reason Kagome goes to school is for Rin, to provide her the thing her mother never allowed Kagome to have. She wanted Rin to have all things she wanted for Christmas, to have toys and to show Rin how much she loved her. Rin also needs education so she can have all the opportunities possible for a long, happy life.

 

But is that what Rin wants?

 

The bellow of her name startled Kagome out of her musings. Sango was running towards her, Miroku trailing behind watching Sango's swaying ass as she ran. Kagome beamed and walked towards them.

 

“Sango-chan, how are you?” Kagome asked still glowing.

 

“So… I heard you left school early with a certain hanyou” She replied, a sly smile finding its way to her lips.

 

The now tomato red girl, sputtered and stuttered, making Sango's mischievous smile broaden.

 

“Nothing happened!” She yelled, causing other student to look at her questionably. “Well it didn't…” The miko muttered.

 

“Then why so red, Kags?” Miroku grinned, joining in Sango's banter. Kagome backed up, their smile making her nervous. Sango and Miroku looked at each other then began to laugh. The girl they were laughing at began to slowly get more embarrassed, glaring at the two. Sensing her anger they found it more hilarious by the second.

 

“Listen you two, I don't know what you're insinuating but…”

 

“Hey babe...” Two arms found their way around her waist, silver hair brushing against her neck. Inuyasha crushed down his hilarity at the situation, he had just about to drag Kagome to another lesson when Sango beat him to the punch. He watched quietly while his friends humiliated poor Kagome, and he couldn't be more amused. The way her face reddened, her brow furrowing and her bottom lip pouting. `She soo fucking cute! Wait wtf?! I mean hot yea hot. Fuck it she's both.' He realised last night he wanted to be with the fiery miko, he didn't love or anything crazy. But she was so attractive, sweet and loving, and it helped that she was fit as fuck as well. He had to admit he loved having her in his arms.

 

“Inu..yasha.” A shocked muttered. “What.. um..” Clearing her suddenly dry throat she tried again. “What are you doing?”
