Inuyasha and Kagome

Chapter 16

I woke up later at night and I had a blanket wrapped around my shoulders.

I slowly rose from the spot I was sleeping. It was still dark and I walked wearily up the steps of the shrine. I opened the door and looked around at the cold dark night. I walk around the house gazing at the stars.

Walking in a daze I think about my friends, Inuyasha. Oh how badly I missed them. Longing to go back, it's only the first day and I feel this way? I reluctantly walked slowly inside and up the stairs. I dropped the blanket onto the floor in my bedroom and flopped down onto the bed. I pressed my face into the pillow and quietly cried myself to sleep.

I popped my eyes open to the high bright sun. I sat up and wiped my still wet face. It seemed like so long ago since I was here. Everything looked the same. My pink blankets still draped over my bed, the computer in the far corner. Pictures of my friends and family scattered across my small wooden night stand.

Draped across my computer chair was a plain blue dress. Mum must of put it there. I stood up and ignored the dress. I opened the dresser drawer and grabbed a blue skirt and a red sweater. I stepped into the bathroom and ran a nice bath. I dropped my clothes onto the floor and quickly washed my hair. I got dressed and pulled my hair into a messy bun. I walked down the stairs and past the kitchen door.

"Oh Kagome you're up! Would you like some breakfast? Where's the dress I laid out for you?" My mother said. I ignored her and pulled on my favorite brown shoes. I stepped outside to feel the warm sun against my pale face.

I slid the door close and shoved my hands into my pockets. I walked into the woods next to my house and walked all day.

Once it was dark I decided to head home. I walked hanging my head, kicking rocks and stepping over roots poking out of the ground, definitely not excited for school tomorrow. I should really consider online classes. I arrived into the opening and outside my house stood, my Mother. I groaned and walked towards the house.

"Kagome can I talked to you?" I ignored her and tried to walk into the house. "Kagome Higurashi you talk to me right now!" She shouted at me. I turned on my heels and glared at her. She sat down on the bench.

"Come." She patted the spot next to her and I flopped down onto the bench next to her.

"Look, I know your upset with me and I can understand that." She started. "But I didn't force you to come back. He did what he thought was best for you. He loved you Kagome, he truly did. Some people just have to make choices they just want to keep someone they care for safe." I felt my stomach rise into my throat.

"Please understand. It makes me very sad to see you like this." I felt anger and sadness fill my heart.

I looked down at my hands. "None of this would of happened." I growled. "If I wasn't so useless and weak." I clenched my fist and a tear rolled down my cheek. "I can't seem to do anything right and all I do is hurt everyone."

"Honey please don't talk about yourself like that." My mum said and put her soft hand on my knee.

"But it's true and I'm sorry." A few more cheeks rolled down my face. "I have to leave Mum. Before I hurt anyone else." I looked up into my mums understanding eyes.

"I don't know if I can handle that Kagome." She said and her eyes filled up with tears.

"Yes you can Mum. You have Sota and gramps, just one less mouth to feed."

"I love taking care of you and watching you grow! I love having all of you around I don't care how many mouths I have to feed as long as I have my family! If I could do it all over again I would do the exact same thing!" She shouted with tears running down her face. She lunged at me and wrapped her arms around me. "Please don't leave." She whispered.
