Chapter 5
Present Day Tokyo
"Okasan, Okasan" Souta ran through the house shouting for his mother. He soon found her in the kitchen cooking dinner. "Okasan! Something's happened to Kagome……All her stuff is at the bottom of the well, but she's not here." Souta grabbed his mother by the arm and started to pull her outside.
She stopped dead in her tracks and pulled Souta into a warm hug. "Souta, its ok, I already know."
"What do you mean? How?" Souta looked up at his mother's sad yet smiling face.
"Souta….have you forgotten, we live at the shrine dedicated to the Shikon no Tama. I knew this day would come eventually……..Souta….Kagome won't be back."
"NANI?! What do you mean she won't be back? This is her time, she has to come back. How do you know for a fact she's gone?" Souta started crying against his mothers shoulder. He knew she was right about his older sister, but he didn't want it to be true.
"From the day Kagome was born, we hid all the books of the shikon no tama from her. We didn't want to change history. Those books consist of what happens to them for the next 70 years. Events that Kagome and her friends wrote down. She's with Inuyasha right now, and she's happy. Those two will play a major part in history…..I just wish I knew what happens after the 70 years."
"I'm sure they're fine, Okasan. She's with Inuyasha, he'll protect her. They're probably just traveling the world." Souta hugged his mom, trying to reassure her about her only daughter.
"Your right Souta. Your very right…… I need to get back to dinner now ok." She turned back to the counter and started chopping vegetables. "Souta? Have you finished your homework yet?"
"EEP!"
"Go on, get it done before dinner." She heard her son run down the hall to his room. A small smile creased her lips at the same time several tears rolled down her cheeks. "I had hoped it wouldn't have happened so soon." Just as she was finishing up setting the table, there was a knock at the door. "Who could that be at this hour?" She put the last plate on the table and went to the door. The moment she opened the door she was face to face to an elegantly clothed woman and man in their early twenties.
The woman was wearing a light blue pantsuit, a gorgeous contrast to her dark blue hair which was done up in two buns with two forelocks that curled downward. Behind her was a man about the same age as the woman, but he was dressed in Khaki pants, a white shirt with a navy blue vest that was unbuttoned. The young man had long silver white hair that was pulled back into a ponytail and wore a type of beret. Both people had golden eyes.
"Ka…go….me?.....Inu…..ya….sha?....What-?"
"OKASAN!" The young woman lunged at the woman standing in the doorway, tears streaming down her cheeks as she embraced her mother. "Okasan!....I've missed you so much…..500 years is too long." Kagome was crying a lake now as she hugged her mother tightly.
"Kagome!" She hugged her daughter back eagerly. "For me it has only been a few days. But I'm glad you're here."
"Oka?" A small, quiet voice chimed from somewhere behind everyone.
"Oh!" Kagome released her mother and walked up to Inuyasha. She then reached behind him and pulled a little girl of about 12 from behind him. "Okasan…..This is our youngest …..Sakura…..Sakura, this is your grandmother!"
Kagome's Mother stood there, staring at her new found granddaughter. The little girl had blackish/blue hair that was parted into two long braids, matching dog-ears swiveled back in an attempt to hide. She had her mother's old eye color of brown. She wore a light pink short sleeved shirt with denim overalls. The sight before her caused a huge smile to appear. "You look just like your mother at that age." She then looked up at her daughter and son-in-law. "I hope you three can stay for a while."
"After 500 years do you really think we wouldn't stay?" Kagome led Inuyasha and Sakura up to her mother, and then they all entered the house. A smile on everyone's face.
