InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Sweetest Sin ❯ Conversation with Kagome's mother ( Chapter 32 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
know its been a while folks but I am slowly getting back into the mood. Basically what stopped me besides writer’s block was like Lady Lark said in her thread, certain readers being total jerks over the way I write things…

And to paraphrase stuff that Sari15 and Sueric had said in that same thread….

Yeah I ignored…but when it keeps coming and getting meaner…well then it becomes hard to…please forgive me….

Chapter 31

Conversation with Mrs. Higuarishi…

“YUKA! What the hell happened back there?!” Inuyasha yelled as he and the wolf demon raced up the temple steps with Akira between them. The young demon though looks pale and frightened as she glances at the young man, whom she supports.

His breath wheezing with every moment, she glances at Inuyasha with fear in her dark eyes that is mirrored by that in his gold. Akira was ib trouble…

Luckily seconds later, Kagome’s mother came rushing out with the antidote for the poison coursing through Akira’s system. Observing carefully, and with a few growls f anger as Akira seemed to fight off Mrs. Higuarishi’s ministrations as it was causing him some pain. She begins to let out a low growling sound of relief, as about 20 minutes later, he falls asleep as the drugs kick in….

Looking up at Kagome’s mother with an expression of joy as his breathing slowly resumes to normal, the elder woman smiles.

“He will be fine Yuka…”

“Thanks Mrs. Higuarishi…”

“It is no problem Yuka, come…you and Inuyasha help me get him to the couch inside the house.

The hanyou nods his head and swings the unconscious youth onto his back, Yuka running ahead, is hence oblivious to the quite words passing between the hanyou and his future mate’s mother.

“What was it Inuyasha?”

“Demon insects…” The hanyou replies reluctantly as he takes one step at a time.

“I see…Kagome, I know is all right because she called. What about the others?”

“They’re fine, just a few cuts and bruises.”

“All right…..Inuyasha?”

“Yes?”

“ You would tell me if the danger to my daughter and yourself was immense wouldn’t you?” The elder woman asked with a worried grin. “I mean I know demons come after you and your friends every chance they get in the past…but here?”

Pausing in mid step, the hanyou’s ears flatten to his skull as he tries to figure out the right answer. But in the end, he somehow knows that she will sense whether or not he is lying…

“According to Yuka and the others…yes…”

“Yuka? Kagome’s friend?”

“She’s…”

“A demon Mrs. Higuarishi…” The girl replied slowly. Removing the masking spell from her features, the young woman reveals her true colors to the elder woman as Inuyasha continues through the door to lay Akira out on the couch. Wisely saying nothing he comes back only seconds later to close it behind him.

Leaving the two alone on the porch as he looks after Akira…

“Yuka?”

“Hi Mrs H.” The young woman responded with a sheepish look.

“Care to explain?” The elder woman said gently and with such curiosity, that Yuka feels guilty a little bit for not telling her right away. But remembering the proximity of someone close by, who can’t know what is going on, she words her next few comments carefully…

“I…I can’t Mrs. H. Let’s just say that my friends and I, were keeping a long overdue promise to Kagome and Inuyasha”

“For what? And from whom?”

“For saving us all…and from those that because of their efforts…they have saved.”

“That big an impact?”

“Yes…during their adventure they impacted so many. Inuyasha through his determination inspired many an ally to step forth when he needed it…”

“Despite his stubbornness?” Mrs. Higuarishi chuckled.

“Yep despite it…”

“I see…and Kagome…”

“It was because of her heart…many times if Inuyasha had been alone in the battle things might have ended up differently. But Kagome…well she gave him what he needed most…”

“Confidence in himself…”

“Yes…I know that you have heard Kagome’s rants about his insecurity and his temper getting out of hand…”

“Yes I have seen many.” The older woman laughs.

“Then you know that she balanced him…she was the other half that he desperately needed to have with him…”

“I have noticed…”

“Are you ashamed?” Yuka replies quietly. Her tone betraying a little anger and sadness at the thought.

“No…I couldn’t be any prouder of Kagome’s choice. Inuyasha is a fine young man. I know he will do what he can by my baby girl. I could tell that from the first moment I met him…”

“You could?”

“Yes… A Mother always knows Yuka…”

“Hmmmmm….”

Turning to face the young woman with a warm smile, Mrs. Higuarishi notices the lost expression of thought and the familiar gaze that she has seen many times expressed in another person that is close to her heart.

Shaking her head and smiling as somehow something fits now, the elder woman links her arms within Yuka’s. And it is one of acceptance….

“Come Yuka, let’s go check on your young man yes?”

Somewhat startled Yuka turns to the elder woman and realizes, that Kagome’s mother had figured something out. Something about her and her friends…

About ready to ask her, the elder woman simply takes her into the house before she could say even one word, where she finds Akira starting to come around on the couch. As Inuyasha sits in front of him fiddling with the remote from the TV….

“Ooooowww what hit me….”

“About a dozen poison insects Moron.” Inuyasha quips as he finds what he was looking for on the movie channels. His ears flattening though a bit as both Yuka and his future mate’s mother gives him a singular glare that reduces him to puppy feelings of shame.

“Sorry…” The hanyou muttered as his cheeks turned red from shame. Moving with Kagome’s mother as she gives him a not to subtle hint to beat it, the hanyou heads towards the kitchen as the young demoness rushes to her boyfriend’s side.

Forgetting everything that has transpired. as the dark haired youth opens his eyes, she growls softly in reassuring tones.

“Yuka…”

“I’m here Akira…I’m here you idiot.” The demoness whispered lovingly as his face turned towards her, her hand reaching out to caress his cheek. “Don’t you ever scare me like that again…”
