Chapter 12: Best Mother in the World

Yusuke was troubled.

He knew on some level that he hurt Kagome with his words, they were spoken without thought. Yusuke knew that she cared for him, a great deal. As he sat there, beneath the God tree, the wind blowing through his hair, the gel long gone. Why did he choose Keiko? He continually asked himself, getting no answer. He knew that Kagome would never want him to choose, but still, she was gone, no sign of her, Sesshoumaru, Kurama, Hiei or the kids. Not even the neko was here.

Keiko...

She brought him so much happiness and so much pain, all at the same time. Was it so wrong of him to go back to her, when he was just about to start a relationship with his best friend. He knew the answer, why he even bothered to ask it he didn’t know. He regretted hurting Kagome, but he was so confused, he liked Kagome, but he loved Keiko...Didn’t he?

Yusuke, was so very confused.

If he loved Keiko, why did his heart clench in pain when Kagome wasn’t there. Why did he feel jealous, when he saw Kurama holding her.

Why?

Why?

Why...?

Kagome giggled as she darted behind a tree, hiding from Rin who was ‘it’, quickly while Rin was looking the other way, she darted towards a bush near where Kurama sat relaxing, enjoying nature. However before she made it, she ran straight into Shippo who was darting toward where Kagome was just hiding. Bumping into each other they giggled, before covering each other’s mouth, so as not to give away their hiding place.

Rin emerged from the bush and spotted them, both Kagome and Shippo giggled and ran, Kagome going purposely slower so Rin could touch her. Once Rin tagged Kagome, she took off after the two giggling kids. Grinning she waved to Kurama then gave chase.

----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------

Kagome sighed as she looked up at the starry sky of the Sengoku Jidai. It was never as beautiful in the modern era, the Sengoku Jidai---it was something different, beautiful and wild, untainted by the pollution of modern technology. It was---magical. How anyone could not be mesmerized by the simplistic beauty was beyond her, because every time she came back, she was swept off her feet, again.

Kurama took a seat next to the dark haired miko. Glancing down into her contemplative face he couldn’t help but smile. He laid next to her, looking up into the sky. If there was one thing Kurama missed about the Sengoku Jidai, it was the nature, the forests, the wilderness. It wasn’t like this in the ningenkai, perhaps in the makai, but even the makai was not as beautiful as it was here. He flourished here, his power felt raised, twice-fold, perhaps even more.

“Do you have a special someone, Kurama?”

Kurama glanced toward Kagome startled.

“No, I don’t.” He replied softly

“That’s too bad.”

“Why do you say that, Kagome?” He asked curiously.

“You’ll make a great significant other, to some lucky girl.” Kagome replied with a small smile.

“I don’t know, with the missions, Koenma sends us on...” Kurama replied hesitantly.

“You just have to find someone who understands you, I’m sure someone like that exists...Your something else, Kurama---you hold that old world class, rarely seen anymore. And, you certainly aren’t boring.” Kagome said, thinking of Hojo.

Scary thought.

“What about you...” Kurama questioned her.

“Nope. “

“It seems we’re both missing out on what a relationship could offer...”

“Or maybe we’re just lucky, not to get hurt. Perhaps some people are meant to enter into relationships and others aren’t...I’m willing to try, but you’re right, how many people would accept us for what and who we are...? How many humans...?”

“You want a human?” Kurama asked startled.

“Well, I was a human, but now I’m a demon, so I guess it wouldn’t matter, but---I don’t know...”

“I guess we’re in the same boat so to speak.”

“Yeah. I guess we are.”

------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------

Se sshoumaru watched the two interact with each other and couldn’t stop the smirk that formed on his handsome face. Perhaps the kitsune was what his sister needed to get over that foolish toushin. Maybe, just maybe she still had a chance at love. But then again, he didn’t want to see her hurt---again. She’s suffered enough.

“Hn. The Fox won’t hurt her.”

“How do I know that?”

“If he cares, he won’t harm her.” Hiei said, his eyes on the two below them.

“Hn.”

Shippo, Rin and Kirara, came barreling out of the hut, straight onto the two lounging on the grass. Rin onto Kagome, with Kirara and Shippo knocking into Kurama. Kagome grinned at the two kids. Shippo cuddled between Kagome and Kurama, Rin snuggled into Kagome’s side, with Kirara sleeping curled up in Kagome’s hair, near the crook of her neck. Kurama smiled at the scene it made.

“You’ll make a great mother one day.”

“What are you talking about Kurama? She’s already a mother.” Shippo said grinning up at Kagome.

Kagome’s heart warmed at his declaration.

“She’s the best mother in the world.”

A/n: Okay, not the best chapter, but I’m a bit at a loss of what to do next, I think I may bring them back into the present era, or have Naraku stir up more trouble.
