InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Through her eyes ❯ Going home ( Chapter 2 )

So we walked to the Mall. Yes we walked what a far walk. My legs were cramped and I just wanted to lie down, but we just walked two miles to shop and that exactly what we were going to do. So I had put a large coat on Shippo to hid that tail of his and I was not carrying him in my arms as if he was a baby. I mean, if you saw a child on some one's should, wouldn't you think it's odd. So now we were in a young girl's store.

We were in a dresses area and I already have about six dresses I've picked out for Rin. However, there was this one dress that Rin just wanted so much she was making a commotion. "Please, this is the one I want, it's so prettyful." "Rin, it cost 98 yen, you'll just dirty it." I told her but she wouldn't let it go. She had a tight grip on the bottom of it and was giving me a pouting look. "Please!" That's when a clerk man came. "Do you need help?"

"No, thank you."

"Yes we do, she won't get me this dress." Rin told the man. "Rin! Stop this, it's to expensive and I already have a few dresses for you so lets go cash it out and go find some close for Shippo." I looked down wondering why Shippo was so quiet. He was asleep. I was actually getting mad at this little girl. I was honestly acing like my mother years ago when I wanted something. I don't blame the clerk for believing I was her mother. "Well, since your daughter wants it so much, maybe I can get you a discount."

"Oh well, she's not..."

"Oku-san, he said he'll give us a discount." Smart kid, "Well, it's still extensive sweetie, the lowest discount I can probably get on this is fifty yen and I'm not sure, you'll just get it dirty."

"No I won't, please, mommy. I'll be good and no treats." When do I ever get her treats??? A few lollipops that were suppose to before Shippo? I turned to look at the clerk with sad Eyes, "How much is it with a discount?" I asked. "Well, seeing that you're a struggling teenager with two kids, I'll pay for it." Wow, I didn't think that would happen. "I can't let you do that, I'll pay for it, just give me the price."

"Free," And he took the dress off the rack and said, "Take it, it's yours." I smiled, "Thank you so much." I motioned Rin to come and she took hold of my hand. "Thank you nice man!" and she gave him a toothy smile. "See mommy, I got the dress and you paid nothing." I shook my head, real smart kid. And we walked out after buy the other clothes. I then brought them to a kid shop full of coloring books, toys and candy. Shippo awoke to the smell of sweets. "Mamma, is that what I think it is?"

"Maybe," I told him with a smile and he jumped out of my arms. He ran back and forth collecting items he liked. He looked like a blob with that coat on him, it was tree times his size. He came back to me holding lollipops candies of all kinds and crayons with markers. Four different coloring books were in his hands also. The hood of the coat was on his head from the fast running he did. The hood was so low all you saw was his mouth full of fangs in a big ole smile. That made me smile. "Mommy, Shippo is an odd one."

"Hey, so are you Rin!" I gave them a smile and "Lets get you two back packs also, it looks like you're going to need them."  We went toward the back where the kid book bags were. "Kagome, is that you?" I heard a voice call from behind. I turned and saw my old best friend Eri. "Eri, hi, how are you?"

"I'm just fine, how come you didn't come to school today, and you look healthy. Who are they?" She asked me two questions I just couldn't answer. "I was sick this morning but I felt better near two and by then it was just too late."

"Yeah sure, so who are they?" I turned back and saw the two kids at the racks and pulling out bags. They came running to me, "Oku-san, look!" They said at once. "Oh look they look so nice. Let's go check all this stuff out." I told them with a smile on my face. My hands were full of the candies and Coloring things. I turned back at Eri and she had her eyebrows up in shock. "Mother? You're their mother?"

"Um, yeah. I talk to you later. We're about to go to the park."

"What's a park?" Rin asked and I cringed, what kind of kid doesn't know what a park is, "They don't know what a park is?" Eri asked.

"It's a joke I say, why is there a Park." Dumb.

"When is a park?" Shippo jumped in, also dumb.

"Where is the park?" Rin asked thinking of the five 'W's I taught them.

"Who is in the park?" I asked them and they began laughing, tch I don't even get it.

"How cute. Well I'll see you... Who's the father?" Damn Why ask that question. "Mamma, can we leave now?" Bless Shippo's soul, "Yes, of course. See you later Eri!" and we left her.

When we got to the park my arms were numb from all the bags we had. WE had waked another mile to here and in about an hour the sun was going to begin to set. Rin had skipped half way the entire way her and since I couldn't carry Shippo he took a seat in one of the bags. I assumed the heaviest one. I know that's bad to place a child in a bag but, it'll be odd to explain how he was just on one shoulder without falling, and that's `dangerous.' And, I can't have him walking; he won't be able to see where he was going.

“You have an hour no more, come back to me. I'll be on this bench.” I told Rin, and Shippo popped his head out from one of the lightest blue bags, that tells you something, doesn't it. He jumped out and they both went to the biggest slide that was yellow. I plopped myself down onto the bench I told them about earlier, and let out a big sigh I didn't even know I was holding.

My lonesomeness brought my thoughts to a certain Hanyou and I sure didn't want it to, but it did. I mean, why he would bring her is a mystery to me. They are always together now; doesn't he get tired pf the dead? I'm right here! Can't he see Kikyou can't exactly do anything? I can be the mother to his children while she can't. Whoa, where did that come from? Do I really want to mother his children? I know I love him but I can't exactly picture us going that far. I know I want to stay with him. Do I really want that? Does he? Of course he didn't, if he did, Kikyou would be in Kaede's shed right now lip locked with his. But…

“Kagome?” I heard a familiar voice call out tome from behind. I turned and saw Hojo. “I'm sorry to pull you away from your thoughts; I just had to see if it was really you.”

“Hello to you also Hojo.”

“Oh, I'm sorry. It's just that Eri told me you were going to the park with your two kids, I just had to come. Is that why you haven't been in school? Were you too busy giving birth? Why didn't they know what a park was, I don't think it was a joke. Where are they anyways? I see you but I don't see them. You know, I really didn't even notice you were pregnant, let alone twice. But then again you were never in school.”

 

“Hojo, I was never prenant.” I tried to tell him, now I had to lie about where they had come from. But before I even began my story he cut me off. “You don't have to lie to me. I just wonder who the father is. Is he the reason you kept on canceling our dates? You're really young to be having two children, people will start to talk. But hey, if you need anything like bottles or diapers, milk I can get it for you.”

 

“Oh they are way passed that. Hojo listen, I-”

 

“What do you mean pass that? Aren't they babies or something? You're way to young to be having children. What are you 16, 17? The oldest they could probably be is like three and even that will make people think the wrong thing about you. I mean you'll be like 14 and people will call you-”

“Hojo! I'm 17 first off and two I was never even pregnant.”

 

“But how-”

 

“Can you let me finish? How they are my children is none of your business.” Okay, so I couldn't make up a lie, so I picked the rude approach. Sure it was nasty but whatever, it worked. He just wouldn't stop going and going. He was like that bunny from that Battery commercial. “Sorry if I was going too far into you're private life. I was just curious but I don't want to get killed for that. Inuyasha is the father though, right?” Shut up kitty cat. I cringed at that name. Must he be everywhere?

 

“Who told you about him?” I basically growled out. I've been around too many demons.

“Was that a secret? I'm sorry; I sort of eavesdropped on you and your friends when you were talking about him one day.” I'm sorry, I'm sorry, like a wimpy baby. Would he just shut up!

 

 “After that I begged Eri to tell me, and she sort of old me everything. Even about Koga and how Inuyasha is a two timer. If he is Kagome, you shouldn't see him anymore even if they are his.” My eye twitched and my mouth was in a sneer. Hojo backed up away a bit. “I just told you I was never pregnant. I'm still a damn virgin!” Whoops, I didn't just say that! Well, guess I did with the blush and smirk that was on Hojo's face.

 

“S-sorry Kagome, I'm talking too much,” Darn Skippy, “It's getting you angry, correct? But you not always sick all the time, are you? It's really them you're taking care of.”

 

“I'm not sick all the time, you're right. And they are sort of the reason.” I got a nod from him. It was about time he decided to shut his face. But a few moments of silence made it awkward. “So, you and Eri are getting pretty close.” I decided to pry, sue me. Come on it's only fair.

 

“Y-yeah sort of. If you're okay with it I mean.” The blush came back full force. “Of course I'm okay with it. Why wouldn't I be?” It wasn't like I liked him or anything. I liked Inuyasha. Oh Inuyasha. I sighed, I suppose he heard it. “W-well your friends told me how you had an eye for me and so I just thought…” I let his voice just trail away. I turned back to the playground and scanned the area. It was getting a little dark. I spotted my kids, MY KIDS, in the sandbox. They were building something, tall. Yes very tall.

 

Suddenly the thing was crushed buy a little boy with short midnight hair and reckless popped all over his cheeks. “Hey!” I heard them yell out to the boy.

 

“Oops, it was ugly anyways.” Freckle boy said right before he kicked sand into Rin's eyes. I stood up and heard Hojo ask me what was wrong. I stared at the scene to see what was going to happen next. “Go away, we don't want you here! Rin you okay?” I watched as Shippo hugged Rin and blew some sand out from her eyes. His hood was off and his hair was blowing in the breeze.

 

“Don't ignore me, midget, I'm not through yet.” What a jerk! He kicked more sand onto the two of them. I picked up my bags and Hojo stood up, “Are you leaving?” I didn't answer and turned my attention back to the kids. Shippo stood up and, Pow! Right in the kisser. I gasped and ran to them with Hojo following.

“Shippo, apologize…oh my goodness. Little boy, where is you're mother?” I went to the crying boy who was holding his fat bleeding upper lip. “She w-went to-to get I-I-ice cream!” and he cried some more.

 

“Shippo say sorry.”

 

“But, but”

 

“Shippo,”

 

“I'm sorry.” He said solemnly, the boy sniffed. “It still hurts.”

 

“So do my eyes jerk!” Darn, she got that from me. “Rin, that's enough. I'll take you to your mom and explain what happened.” The boy nodded, “and then we're going straight home.” I told Shippo and Rin.

 

“You're good with them,” I turned remembering Hojo. “Thanks,” I motioned my kids to follow and I took the little boy's hand.

 

“MOMMY!” he yelled as soon as the ice cream truck was in view. He ran to her and gripped her around her waist, he began crying again. “Excuse me, I'm sorry to tell you this, but he and my children were in a tad spat.” Ha, I used that word. I always had tried to use it in life but, I was never in the situation where I needed to say it.

 

I admit she was pretty with her shoulder length midnight hair that had a flower in her head band. And that pink dress she had on looked great on her and her orange sandals matched the flowers that were dancing along the brim on her dress.

 

I gave her a worried smile and she looked down at the boy. “His lip! How old is your child to hit him so hard.” She looked up with water in her eyes. Without looking she picked him up to hush him up. I beckoned Shippo and Rin to come out from behind me. “He's only three,” What a lie! “And she's only seven but he's really sorry for hurting your son. Right Shippo?

“…”

“Shippo, you are sorry right?” Patience is a virtue, but he probably isn't sorry, but he gave that kid a busted lip and he needs to apologize. “No, he should have never kicked sand in Rin's eyes.” I knew it. “My son kicked sand in her eyes and your son punched him. Well, it was defense.”

“Mommy! You're taking their side?”

 

The little boy was in complete and utter shock. “Well, why did you kick sand in her eyes?” The boy blushed and turned his head without answering. Awww he had a crush on Rin! “I'll be on my way now.” I told the woman and she nodded turning back to the truck.

 

I turned back and there was Hojo, smirking. “I thought you left.” Stop staring at me! I smiled back. “How long have you been a mother to them?” Two weeks, ha like I was going to say that. Rude approach it is, since it worked so well earlier. “I don't think that's any of your business. Come on you two. It's getting late.” I fixed the bags better on my stinging arms and bided Hojo adieu, “Well, it was nice see you again, bye Hojo.”

 

“Are you coming to school tomorrow?” I faked a cough, “No I think I'm coming down with something.” I gave him a weary smile and he beamed back. “Well, I hope to see you again soon, and not just in time for my wedding but before then too, mind you that. Bye!” and he ran off waving good bye. Wait, wedding? His and Eri's wedding? “Let's go before my arms fall off.

Rin latched onto my left hand and Shippo jumped in a bag. I smiled and began walking only a mile (yeah only) to the shrine.

 

“MAMMA! I'm home!” It's gotten dark and I was at my home. I opened the door and no mamma. I sat my bags on the floor near the door and pulled sleeping Shippo out and took hold of Rin's hand again and headed to the living room. “Mamma?” I gasped, “What are you doing here?” There's that growl coming out again.

 

“I wanted to talk to you. Sneer at him, I did then I growled out, “Get out,” before I turned and headed to my room. “Oku-san, is he staying? He doesn't like me.” Rin asked me as I placed her on the bed opposite of Shippo. “Rin I'll make sure he leaves.” I kissed her on the head then took the coat off Shippo and kissed him. “night you two.”

 

I went back down to see him still there. “Get out!”

 

“Wait, Kagome, I'm sorry you weren't suppose to see that.”

 

“Oh you wanted to snick behind my back. That's cool. Get out; I have no business with you.” Yes be cold. “Where's my family?”

 

“They went out to dinner, look I really need to talk to you.”

 

“Why, I have nothing to say to you and what ever you have to say, I don't want to hear.”

 

“Please come back-”

 

“I'll be back tomorrow.”

 

“I'll wait you here.” And he sat Indian style on my carpet. “Please leave Inuyasha. Rin doesn't want you here.”

 

I received a growl from him and he stood. “You're taking orders from her now? She's just like Sesshomaru and-”

 

“I don't want you here either. Not just yet, anyways.” I told him. I couldn't even look at him. My eyes were glued to the floor. I heard him leave saying that he'll be back tomorrow but I'll make sure that we're already gone before he comes. I went to my bag and brought them to the living room floor.

 

I separated Shippo's and Rin's things. I folded the clothes and placed them in the proper bag. In Shippo's green and orange bag, I placed toys balls and candy. In Rin's black and white bag I placed clothes shampoo hair accessories she just had to have and underwear. She didn't wear any. She didn't even know what it was. Even Shippo wore underwear, when she told she didn't know what it was; well I just had to buy the cutest.

 

I had brought myself a new bag as well; this one was blue and bigger though. I went toward the kitchen and in there I saw a pyramid or Ramen. The sadness or anger I had for Inuyasha vanished, for the moment. I smiled and shook my head. I neatly piled them and placed them in the bag. I still had some space and filled them up with more food. I took my old yellow bag from the kitchen floor. I went back upstairs and saw they had moved near each other, back to back now. Shippo had his thumb in his mouth and it was so adorable.

 

I went to my closet and pulled some clothes out. I decided I wasn't going to wear my fuka anymore. I mean, I hardly go to school and beside with the train they have me doing, this just won't do. I pulled out sweats and some tee shirts. So sneakers and boots for when walking in mud.

I went to the hall closet and got some towels. I heard the front door open then shut. I brought the towels to my bag then went down stairs.

 

“Hello!” I heard yelling and began shushing and laughing at once. “The kids are sleeping.” I told them. “What kids? Goats! What are you talking about?” My grandfather asked. “Nothing, go to sleep.” He began mumbling but headed towards his room.

“Hey, how was dinner?”

 

“It was fun, did you see Inuyasha?” Souta asked. “Yeah, why'd you let him stay I almost got a heart attack.” Liar!

 

“Well, it seemed that you were mad at him, I wanted you two to make up.”

 

“Really mamma, don't interfere.” I told her and headed up stairs.

 

 

DI: I know I wrote more in the first chapter but oh well, next chapter she's already back and heads toward the village! Bye-bye bo
