Chapter 2: The Nerve!

Kagome woke up the next morning. She couldn't understand why she was in such a bad mood. Then it came flooding back…. `Kento.' Kagome got up from her bed and picked out her clothes for the day and headed for the bathroom to take a shower.

`I wonder what's so great about this guy. Kento is rude, obnoxious and sarcastic. What does mom see in him?' Just then she was somewhat reminded of Inuyasha. `No, this is different. He never means what he is saying. All Inuyasha is doing is trying to keep is tough guy image intact, but Kento meant every word and maybe much, much more.'

Kagome finished her shower and got dressed, brushed her hair and teeth. `I'm going to have to speak to mother about him and see what else mamma has been keeping from me.'

The young miko went down the stairs and into the kitchen where she knew her mother would be. And there she was, greeted by her mother presence. "Mom I need to speak to about something. Well more specifically Kento," Kagome told her mother.

Her mother replied with a smile on her face, "Yes of course dear. I do to. Don't you just think he is the most wonderful man on earth?" Yet again the mention of Mr. Hensume has made her mother go to cloud nine.

"Umm… well… ok mamma, I don't think I like him very much," Kagome told her mother truthfully. She had always been open with her mother about almost everything. Well except on the real amount of danger she got into in the Feudal era.

"I don't understand Kagome. Why wouldn't you like the man? Don't you wish for me to find somebody?" To Kagome her mother sounded like a teenager speaking to her parents.

"Mr. Hensume was not very nice to me. He kept trying to pry into my personal life. I don't really like the fact he is trying to act like my father," Kagome hesitantly answered not knowing her mothers reaction.

"Dear," Her mother said firmly, "All Kento is trying to do is to get to know you. He has been nothing but generous and kind towards me for the past six months. You should be ashamed. I never thought of you being so selfish," Seito scolded.

Kagome was stunned. Her mother had never scolded her for telling the truth. Now when this man comes into her life, her mother is giving her a scolding. `Well maybe I haven't thought this through. If mom says he's a good man then he is. I just might have judged him to fast. Ok its final I'll give him another chance.'

"I'm sorry mamma. I just don't feel comfortable with this just yet I guess," Kagome told her mother, but she still kept getting a nagging feeling at the back of her mind that she shouldn't keep her guard down around this man.

"It's ok Kagome. You probably just got shock that he might be your new father," Ms. Higurashi told her daughter wisely.

Kagome hadn't actually thought about that. `Kento, my father? That for some reason feels disturbing.' "Yeah, sure mom that's all it is."

Kagome stood up. Then she remembered something. Where was grandpa? She hadn't seen him this morning. Actually now that she thought about it she hadn't seen him all day yesterday.

"Uh mom where's grandpa?" Kagome asked.

"Kento so graciously gave him a nice vacation to Hawaii. See Kagome? He's not such a bad guy. Kento sent him to Hawaii for three weeks," her mother said brightly. "He really needed to relieve some of his stress. Lately he has been very upset."

Kagome began to wonder. `Hawaii wasn't he just at the library two days ago? When did he have the time to pack? Grandpa being stressed, that's just not like him, grandfather is always so full of energy and happy. A little on the crazy side with the whole spells and stuff but still ok.' Then another thought popped into her head.

"When exactly did grandpa meet Mr. Hensume mamma?" Kagome asked suddenly making her mother jump out of her thoughts about none other then Kento.

"I think it was about a week ago," Ms. Higurashi answered no clue where this conversation was going.

"I see… and when exactly did grandfather start getting these stress problems?" Kagome asked innocently.

"Well I guess about a day or two after Kento started to come over regularly." Now Seito was getting suspicious, but she kept her thoughts to herself not wanting to get into another argument again.

"Thanks mom, that's all I wanted to know," Kagome said a little too happily. `I knew it, I knew it, and I KNEW IT! Kento must have been mean to grandpa and got him upset. That's the only reason for grandpa to get stressed I'm sure of it! Now to make sure my suspicions are correct. I don't want another scolding from mother.'

"That stupid wench!" Inuyasha yelled again into the forest. Inuyasha was beyond pissed. She had sealed the well preventing him from dragging her back into the past. `When I see her she's not leaving till we finish shard hunting!'

"Inuyasha has been brooding up in that tree for the past three days. Miroku do you think you should speak to him and get him to eat at least?" Sango asked Miroku. She was worried for the Hanyou. Every time Kagome would leave he seemed to get angrier.

Miroku replied hesitantly not wanting to get the wrath of Sango for his reply. "Well Sango dear, I don't think it's a good idea to bother Inuyasha. He can get quite violent when he's upset."

Sango gave up on making Miroku go to Inuyasha. She knew the lecherous monk was right. "I guess your right."

Shippo ran up to Inuyasha to pester him a bit. Without Kagome around things weren't any fun. "Hey dog-breath, when's Kagome coming back." While yelling this he was throwing pebbles at Inuyasha head. Slowly he could tell the Hanyou was getting mad.

"Leave me twit. I don't need you pestering me or else you just might be strangled" Inuyasha said in a deadly low voice. Shippo could hear the growling noise coming from deep in the half-demon's throat and scurried off not wanting to be at the end of Inuyasha's anger.

`Please come back soon Kagome.' That was Inuyasha's last thought before he fell into a short nap. He hadn't been able to sleep because Kagome was gone.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome was sweeping the shrine steps when she heard somebody coming up the steps. She took no notice in this because many people visited the shrine to say their prayers. Kagome was humming a tune when she was rudely interrupted by her mother's oh so wonderful boyfriend.

"Ah so the little girl is sweeping the stairs. Good at least you know how to do a women's task. Not well but able. After meeting you yesterday I thought you couldn't do anything a proper woman should," Kento sneered. Kento was chuckling evilly when he saw her rise up her head to glare up at him. "Now, now girl, don't look at me like that. You should know your place. "

"I'm doing Sota's chores. We made a compromise that if I do his chores today he would do mine tomorrow. Sota wanted to go see a movie that just came out," Kagome replied angrily but did not yell to give him the satisfaction of being able to get under her skin.

Kento chucked even more but then he contemplated what she said, "Hmm, I will need to talk to your mother about this. Neither a man nor a boy should be reduced to doing a woman's job."

Kagome didn't say anything back. She knew her mother would not change the chores around just for this man. Her brother has always done these chores. `Maybe she would see he's already slowly changing mother to a love sick puppy,' Kagome thought to herself.

Kagome went up the steps a while after Kento. She was trying to avoid him. She saw her mother getting out the door hand in hand with Kento. `I guess their going out on a date. Maybe now is a good time to go back to the Feudal era. I don't feel like going to school tomorrow. I'll just leave a note explaining where I am.'

A while later, Kagome was ready with her enormous yellow bag on her shoulders. She left her note on the counter and slowly walked towards the small shrine where the well was concealed. She walked down the steps and threw the bag down the well and jumped in after it.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Inuyasha mumbled in his sleep, "Ka… go… me…" `Wait.' He woke up suddenly. He sniffed the air. Sure enough it was Kagome. He ran towards the well happy to see her come back, but then her thought twice. `What am I doing? When I see her she's gonna get piece of me.'

Kagome flung the heavy bag over the top of the well and climbed out of the well. When she wiped of the dust of her pants she looked up to be greeted by Inuyasha. Correction, by a very pissed off Inuyasha, "Uh, hi Inuyasha. How's it going."

Inuyasha growled, "Great. I'm still spitting the dust out of my mouth for the last sit you gave me. How could you leave? HUH! We've got jewel shards to collect or do you need a reminder it's you're fault the jewel shattered in the first place?" Inuyasha didn't mean for him to sound so mean, but to cover up his true feelings he acted like the usual jerk.

"Well sooorrry, jerk," Kagome yelled sarcastically, "Didn't mean to slow down the hunt. It's your only meaning in life, right? I didn't mean to stop your life for three days." Kagome usually didn't get so frustrated with what Inuyasha would have to say to her, but Kento ruined her normally pleasant mood.

"What did you say bitch! How dare you…" Inuyasha yelled but was painfully cut off with a, "Sit!" from Kagome.

Kagome stocked off leaving Inuyasha eating dirt. Kagome reached the village and entered Kaede hut. Everyone inside spun around to look at the intruder.

"Kagome, you're finally back!" Shippo squealed and jumped into Kagome's arms.

"Yeah I'm back." Kagome let a smile grace her face. Inuyasha could get her mad, but she didn't hold grudges for very long.

Sango looked up and saw the angry look on Kagome's face before it turned to a smile, "Kagome is there anything wrong?"

"Yeah, the world is infested with men." Kagome mumbled receiving a "Hey I'm a man," from Miroku. "Like you're any better, being such a perverted monk," Kagome shot back.

Everyone could tell Kagome was in a bad mood and the first thing that entered their minds was… Inuyasha.
