The Boyfriend

Chapter 24
After Kagome unloaded all her school things in her
bedroom, fed Tama and laid her down to sleep, she sat down and looked
through the photos from the camera. Her eyes misted up when she saw
the pictures from her graduation. She thumbed through, looking at
people she hadn�t seen in several months and a part of her missed
the life she left behind when she fell through the well. She stared
at a photo of a swollen-eyed Ayumi giving her a peace sign as they
said good-bye. Kagome had barely seen the photograph as she snapped
it. She may have missed a good deal of her third year, but she had
spent most of her life for two years before that at the school, with
those people.
She remembered when the worst thing she had to
fear was a bad test score and laughed as she wiped her eye with the
back of her hand. She smiled at the last picture of the four of them
standing together, grinning for the camera, holding up peace signs.
Her hand shook as she remembered that Yukio had been holding the
camera and she knew what photo was coming next. She took a deep
breath and moved the picture of her friends with her to the back of
the pile and stared down at Yukio�s face.
She didn�t waste a second before ripping the
photo into tiny pieces. Then she grabbed the picture of the two of
them together and tore it up as well. She sat there with the pieces
of photographs in her hand and trembled in anger for almost five
minutes before she could see clearly again. Kagome stood up and threw
the pieces in the trash and didn�t look back as she returned to the
package of photos. The next one was a picture of Yuka, before she had
started wearing all the makeup she wore now. She kept trying to
convince Kagome to wear makeup, but Kagome just didn�t have time to
worry about it. Then she put that photo at the back of the stack and
came to the picture of InuYasha leaning over Tama, looking so
peaceful she barely recognized him.
Kagome traced her finger over the image and
smiled, then moved to the next picture. Her little girl looked so
pretty, lying there asleep in the photo. Kagome moved to the next and
smiled, happy that InuYasha had taken a decent picture of her. Then,
finally, she looked at the picture of all three of them together and
laughed. Kagome was smiling, Tama�s eyes were slightly open and
InuYasha was staring at the camera with a slightly defiant look on
his face. �Guess he didn�t want to smile,� Kagome
thought. �Well, it looks more like him this way, anyhow.�
�You look happy there,� InuYasha said from
behind Kagome, making her squeal in surprise.
�Don�t sneak up on me!� she admonished.
�Feh. Pay attention to what�s going on around
you, then,� he retorted while sitting down next to her and peering
at the photographs in her hands. She went through them again, telling
him about her friends from junior high. For once, he sat and listened
patiently to her and even asked a few questions about things in the
images that puzzled him. After they were finished with the pictures,
they sat and discussed things Kagome had always wanted to talk to
InuYasha about. They lost track of time until Tama woke up and
started crying for a diaper change.
Kagome was so happy after talking to InuYasha,
despite a few arguments they had during the conversation, that she
was humming as she changed Tama. InuYasha was surprised by how little
it had taken to make her happy�just paying attention to the stuff
she liked to babble on about. He remembered her saying that one of
the reasons she liked Yukio was that he listened when she talked and
he was trying to be the kind of boyfriend she wanted. And whenever he
got bored, he could just start an argument with her to liven things
up. He loved the way her eyes lit up when she was passionate about
something.
He was incredibly nervous and agitated about not
chasing after Naraku, but he understood why Kagome had to go to
school now. And after school, she had to take care of her baby, which
was a lot of work. InuYasha liked Tama�she was rather quiet, for a
baby, and she always watched him like he was the whole world when he
was taking care of her. Also, she was starting to look a little bit
like Kagome, only with eyes more like his own and he couldn�t help
but think of her as his own. That made him think about having
children with Kagome and he wondered if they would come out looking
like Tama, or more like himself� or worse, like Jinenji.
If their children couldn�t use the well, then
Kagome would have to have them all in her time. If one of them came
out looking like a monster� he had watched a few horror movies with
Souta. He knew what this world thought of monsters, from experience.
Back in his time, the child could have hidden himself, but now� He
pushed the thoughts away. After all, he didn�t even know if he
could father children. He had never heard of a hanyo finding someone
willing to mate with them if they lived to be old enough to create
children. He didn�t know if they would be almost human, or still a
hanyo.
He didn�t talk to Kagome about these
things�after all, there was a chance that he wouldn�t even
survive the fight with Naraku to test his questions out. There was no
need to worry her when there were already so many things she had to
deal with. Finding out that she couldn�t fight or purify the shikon
no kakera anymore was a terrible blow. He had been frightened for her
every time they entered the feudal era since. Sango was teaching her
taijiya techniques, but he didn�t think it was enough. Kagome�s
attempts at the weapons they tried had failed miserably thus far.
But thanks to Yukio, he no longer felt it was safe
just to leave her in her own time. Kagome had told him that she was
okay now, that he could go back and search for the final jewel shard,
but he couldn�t bring himself to do it. He was glad she wasn�t
afraid all the time anymore and she seemed to be back to her usual
self, but he didn�t trust her world any more than his own.
�You look lost in thought,� Kagome said,
bringing him out of his musings.
�I was thinking about going back to my time,�
he said.
�Yeah, we should do that. And I have a break
next week, so we can go hunt for the last jewel shard,� she added.
He nodded, knowing that he couldn�t argue her into staying put. He
had tried and she had reminded him that the kotodama necklace had not
been removed and he couldn�t just bully her. �I�ll go ask Mama
to watch over Tama. We can go show everyone the pictures. They must
wonder why we never came back when we said we would.�
�You shouldn�t have told Shippo,� InuYasha
said again. Kagome rolled her eyes, she had heard him say that
enough. A few minutes later, they were standing in front of the well,
saying good-bye again.
To be continued�
A/N: As always, thanks to the faithful who
still read and review my story. I�m glad you�re still enjoying it
and I�m sorry about the change in life affecting my update rate. I
hope you are all having a good year so far and that any misfortune
that finds you leaves as quick as a bird in flight. As for the Japanese lesson�I suppose it's cultural this
time. In photos, Japanese students hold up peace signs. I don't know why, but
it's popular to do, especially in jr. high. And the girls and women over there
are obsessed with makeup and most Americans feel they wear way too much.
