Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Holy One From Hell ❯ Goodbye my simple Life ( Chapter 2 )

Kagome sat up in bed, her long dark hair a tasseled mess. She got up and walked towards the bathroom to take a shower. As she let the shower run, she looked at herself her silver eyes flicked to blue as she shoot there. As she stepped into the shower, she heard banging on the bathroom door. “Kagome!!!”

 

“Shut up Souta I'm almost done.” She heard retreating footsteps. As she finished and stepped out of the shower she pulled a towel around herself she stepped towards the door, and swung it open just as Souta was about to band on the door. “The bathroom is now open Souta.” She laughed at his shocked face and rustled his hair as she stepped past him towards her room. As she looked in her closer she noticed that she only had feudal era clothing left. She searched for a white fighting outfit. She found the hakamas first and then grabbed the white tunic she spotted. As she got ready she noticed how big the tunic was and grabbed a blank obi to tie around her waist. She slipped on a pair of white slippers and walked out of her room to go downstairs. She walked out into the living room and noticed boxes. She shook her head and backtracked to the kitchen.

 

“Good Morning Kagome.” Koon-lun said bringing dishes to the table.

 

“Morning Kaa-san. Morning Ji-chan.” Kagome said. She kissed Ji-chan on the cheek before sitting down opposite him. Souta came running down the steps he plopped down in the seat next to her.

 

“Good Morning Kaa-san, Ji-chan.” He called. Kagome ruffled his still wet hair. “Morning Kagome.”

 

“Morning Squirt.” Their mother sat down a plate of toast. Kagome sat there and drank her tea quietly watching them eat. Her mother looked up.

 

“The boxes out there for you two to start packing. Souta your uncle will be here around 6. So you'll want to hurry and finish eating and then pack. I've already packed the clothes I've washed, bring the rest down and I'll pack them. Kagome, Suichi will be here early tomorrow morning. He'll take some and you can take the rest in your vehicle.” Souta nodded his head solemnly. Kagome nodded and took a sip of her tea. She sat down her empty cup and stood up. “Where are you going Kagome?”

 

“To start packing.” She walked out to the living room and grabbed some boxes as she walked back to the stairs. Her mother called out.

 

“I have a basket of clothes for you Kagome.”

 

“Okay, I'll come back down to pack as soon as I'm done up here.” She stepped into her room and sat the boxes by her bed. She has stayed with her all the time when she was little so she knew that she would provide the bigger furniture. She looked at her desk and book shelves, littered with leather bound books, and scrolls. As she began to pack she came across the ward protected box that held the Shikon no Tama. She knew after moving that the barrier that she placed over the shrine would not black the power single anymore. She ran her fingers over the clasp and felt the jewel react.

 

“I guess I'm going to have to start wearing you again. But let's put that off for a while.” She put the box down on her desk and continued to pack. She looked at the three she had filled. As she stripped her bed she looked out her window. `Inuyasha' her thoughts cried out silently. She folded her bedding placed it in a box, on top of photo album and group of photos in frames. She walked towards her closet, the shelves above and below littered with kimonos, yukatas, obis, haoris and hakamas. She grabbed a box and took it with her to her closet, as she sat there sifting threw the many clothes and packing them away so as not get wrinkled she noticed that she would need more boxes. She looked at the clock and noticed that it was going on 4. The smell of dinner wafted to her nose. As she stepped out of her room she looked into Souta's room and saw it bare. She walked downstairs on her to the kitchen and saw the piles of boxes in the hallway. She walked into the kitchen and noticed Souta sitting there hands folded in lap. She leaned down and kissed him on the head.

 

“How far have you made it Kagome?” Her mother looked up at her.

 

“I've got to finish packing my clothes and then I'm done.” Her mother nodded and picked up her chopsticks a long with her father.

 

“Your uncle will be here soon Souta eat up.” Souta just stared at his food. Kagome pushed him lightly. He looked up at her and she nodded her head at him and he picked up his chopstick. As they all ate, their mother watched the two closely she never understood the closeness and understanding that the two sibling shared. As Kagome helped her mother clear the table and clean, they heard a car pull into the drive way. They both looked out the kitchen window and saw their uncle walked toward the kitchen door. “Souta!” Koon-lun called while Kagome started to finish the dishes. The knock at the door brought Koon-lun back to kitchen to answer the door for her brother-in-law. Kagome looked up from the dishes.

 

“Konbanwa uncle Ryuu, how are you today?” She whipped her on the apron she wore.

 

“Konbanwa Kagome. I'm good helping out you mother. I see.” Kagome nodded her head. She untied the apron and put it up in the closet. Souta same out into the kitchen, he greeted their uncle. “How many boxes do you have Souta?”

 

“Just seven, not including a duffel bag.”

 

“Okay, let's start packing then.” Ryuu told Souta as he pointed out his boxes. They came out carrying two each. Koon-lun carried one. Kagome went and grabbed two and walked them out to their uncle's car. Souta ran inside to grab his duffel bag and to say good bye to Ji-chan. As he came back out to the car, Kagome watched Souta roughly whip his eyes on his sleeves. He walked to his mother and hugged her tightly.

 

“I'll miss you Kaa-san.” Burying his head into her shoulder muffled what he said. She hugged him tightly. Souta stepped back and turned to Kagome. He ran towards her.

 

“Onee-chan! Please don't let me go. I don't want to go.”

 

“I can't help you Souta. I'm leave to but I'll make sure to come and visit. I'll miss you squirt. You may be a pain, but you're my otouto, remember what I taught you, don't gey behind in you classes. I love you squirt and I'll see you late.” She tightened her arms around him, letting the tears fall. Souta looked at her tear stained face.

 

“Love you to Onee-san. I'll see you later.” He climbed into their uncle's car. As the car pulled away Souta waved on last time. Kagome waved until the car disappeared. She turned back to the house her head bowed and fist clenched. `Souta you won't be gone for long.' She walked into the house and up to her room where she finished packing and then began to carry boxes down stairs.

 

“Kaa-san where is the basket with my clothes?” Kagome called, grabbing another box, Koon-lun brought the basket into the living room. Kagome packed the clothes and taped up the box. She turned to her mother and smiled. Koon-lun carried a tray with tea on it.

 

“Are you going to train tonight?”

 

“Yes I am.” Koon-lun nodded as she poured them tea. She handed Kagome a cup and say back.

 

“I'm sorry that I have to send my two children away, I don't want to but I don't have choice.” Koon-lun told her. Kagome took a sip.

 

“Souta and I understand what is happening we just don't like being so far away from you and Ji-chan.” Kagome told her. They sat in silence for a long time. Kagome picked up the tray and took it back into the kitchen. She rinsed and washed the tea set. As she set it down to dry. Her mother spoke.

 

“I'll bring you and Souta home soon.” She looked back at Koon-lun's tear stained face. Kagome hugged her tightly. When they pulled away, Koon-lun smiled. “Go, the door will be unlocked don't get back to late your cousin will be here at 9 to pick up your stuff.” Kagome nodded and walked to the front door, she slipped off her slippers, and pulled on a pair of boots. She pulled on a white hoodie and grabbed her duffel back before jogging out the door and down the steps. She ran all the way to the park. As she came closer to the clearing, the bright street light faded and left the sky big and open. The moon shown brightly over the tall emerald grass. She jogged to the center of the field and sat down. She sat there for what felt like forever but had been a matter of minutes. She heard a grunt behind her. She turned her head and noticed the guy she meet last night.

 

“Hello Hiei.” She smiled at him he raised and eyebrow. She patted the ground next to her. He sat down next to her. “Have you ever just sat down and enjoyed the moon?”

“Hn.”

 

“Guess not. I'm moving across town to live with my aunt and cousin. If you can find me, I'd like to continue to spar.” She heard him stand as she looked up she saw him pull his sword; she hopped out of the way when he took a swing. She pulled her sword out of her duffel bag and ran at him throwing the sheath behind her as she took a swing. They spared for the better part of the night.

 

“Hiei.” Kagome called. He looked at her. “I have to get home. I leave tomorrow.” She grabbed the sheath and put her sword away. She smiled at him. “I'll catch you around.” She began to walk away. She felt him catch her arm. She looked back at him and raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow.

 

Hiei's POV

 

`Why did I do that?' He wondered to himself.

 

`Walk her home.'

 

“I can at least walk you home.” He said while sheathing his sword.

 

Regular POV

 

Kagome nodded and turned around and began to walk, he caught up quickly. They walked toward the shrine in a comfortable silence. She smiled to herself. As they came closer to the shrine the night seemed to brighten.

 

“I do not wish to go.”

 

“Then why leave?”

 

“My family is having some problems.” He nodded, as they stopped at the steps. Hiei looked at her, her silver eyes danced with mirth, she smiled at him. He felt the urge to smile back. “I'll see you around then Hiei.” She smiled brightly. She turned and began to walk up the steps. Hiei nodded his head.

 

“We will defiantly see each other again.” He watched disappear and then turned and disappeared.
