Pains of the Past

Chapter 7

Yu was roused from his sleep by a gentle shake on his shoulder "Yu...Come on wake up...You're gonna be late for your first day..."

"Mm...Five more minutes..." Kagome smiled her mind wandering back to last night

Flash back

The kiss was rough and dominating and kagome soon went limp, her eyes going dull as her conscious mind faded in the back to talk to her demon "He's lost it again..."

The dog roused opening one red eyes to peer at her before huffing "Stay strong child, no matter what happens you cannot let me take over again..."

"I know I can't it's just..." wrapping her arms around herself she fell to her knees "I wish he would change..." tears fell from her eyes both in here and in real life as he took her to bed wrapping his arms around her body and falling asleep.

Strong arms covered by billowy white sleeves curled themselves around her in a comforting embrace "There is not much I can do aside from providing you a place to hide...You must go now or risk being stuck here forever..."

She nodded coming back into conscious to hear snored behind her, no longer feeling anything she peeled herself away from his empty embrace and pulled on new clothes Kureto sent her.

Her skirt was gone replaced with tight white trousers

Her top had changed colour too, the cut off sleeves where white and as billowy and Inutaisho's the top also being white was a sleeveless haori what she was most annoyed about however was that on her black sash was the Hiragi crest imprinted onto it. It had also been extended to reach an inch above her knees

"Eh? Okaa-san? What's wrong?" snapping out of her daze she turned to look at the bleary eyes yu as he tried to wake up.

"Nothing's wrong Yu, You need to get up less we miss the train..." His eyes widened as he stumbled before falling out of bed.

'You're not going to tell him then?'

'It's best if somethings are left unsaid, he worships Guren, he'd probably sooner call me a liar than him...' she smiled lightly as he stumbled through putting his school uniform on.

"Yu, honey..." he turned to look at her toothbrush hanging from his mouth, smiling she pointed at his clothes "Wrong uniform dear" he looked down a grunt of annoyance leaving his mouth as he went back to change again.

"Finally! I'm ready Okaa-san!" she giggled redoing his buttons on the standard jacket uniform.

"I don't think you'll ever be truly ready yu..." her face forlorn she finished the last button and met worried green eyes.

"Okaa-san..." Grabbing her cheeks he pressed their foreheads together "Don't be sad, okaa-san...You can tell me anything...I won't be mad..." she smiled at her son pressing a kiss to his forehead.

"I'm just worried is all, it didn't help my sleep either..."

"What about guren? You dragged him away remember?"

"Ah I took my anger out on him nothing more..." Of course the look Yu saw in her eyes told him there was more but he didn't push it.

"Alright then let's get going!" they made their way down to the station and Shinoa eyes the crest on her sash.

"Shinoa...I'll explain later" she nodded before turning to Yu smiling

"You look rather dashing in the new uniform Yu-san!"

"Oh, Shinoa...Uh...Never mind" she smiled teasingly as she wrapped her arms around herself dramatically

"Oh! Shinoa-san! You look so sexy in the uniform!" she wiggled her body occasionally nudging him.
