Kagome sighed in relief as she closed the kitchen door behind her. Finally, she had made it home. The climb out of the well hadn't been easy, and the walk across the shrine had seemed like miles. All she wanted to do was sit down. Her bath would have to wait.
"Oh, gods, Kagome. What happened to you?" her mother exclaimed.
The miko sighed again, this time with mild annoyance. She hadn't thought about how her mother would react to her current state. If she had, she might have tried to fix herself up a bit before she went inside. "Nothing, Mama. I'm fine."
"You are not. You're bleeding, your clothes are torn, your hair is a mess. What in the world happened?"
Kagome smiled as she remembered the past hour. Sesshoumaru chasing her and then carrying her back to the well. He was so sweet, and such a flirt! She had no idea what had gotten into him, but then she didn't usually behave the way she had either.
"It's alright. They're just scratches. They look a lot worse than they are. I was," she paused, searching for an acceptable answer, because she had no intention of telling her mother that she'd just been chased down by a taiyoukai. That was not something she wanted to explain. "I was playing a game."
"What kind of game leaves you looking like that?" Her mother was obviously skeptical of her less than specific answer. She had always been able to tell when her daughter was hiding something from her.
The miko's smile widened, a peaceful look spreading over her face. "A fun one." Before her mother could demand more information, Kagome cut her off. "I'm going to go take a bath, Mama. I'll be fine, I promise."
Mrs. Higurashi frowned but allowed her daughter to limp past her. She would get her answers eventually, but at the moment she really didn't need them. Her daughter looked happy, and she didn't always when returning from the Feudal Era. She'd let this one slide for now.
