Summary Taro comes home from military school
“” We have children?”
“Just Taro.”
“You are sure.?”
“He has been at military school for the past twelve years”
“Why is he coming home now?”
“ Without your income we could not afford his senior year.”
Sesshoumaru was stunned A son he could not remember was coming home. It brought back all the memories of his own upbringing. Private schools. Home only for Christmas break. Still, he had not turned out half bad.
“Don’t forget to pick him up that station. Here is enough money for cab fare for both of you.”
Sesshoumaru nodded. He was not sure how to react. The house must be spotless. It must be just as his son remembered it. He set to work, cleaning and vacuuming. The house was clean for the first time in months
Time to reward himself with a little TV time. After all he had cleaned the bathroom Washed the dishes and the clothes Vacuumed the floors all in one day. Kagome would have nothing to nag him about today. Especially in front of his son. What was that boy’s name?
Sesshoumaru was so tired that he nodded off. He did not hear the phone when his son called asking where he was. He did not hear the phone when Kagome called asking why he had not pick up his son. In fact he did not wake up until the door slammed when Kagome walked into the house fuming mad.
He started awake. He knew he was supposed to do something, but what it was he had no idea. Kagome was standing over him, boiling mad Standing next to her was a seventeen year old in a military uniform. What was going on?
“Where were you?”
Sesshoumaru thought that an odd question. “Right here. Where should I be?”
Kagome yelled :”You were supposed to be picking up your son from the train. What have you been doing all day?”
Sesshoumaru replied “What I do everyday. Clean and watch TV”
Kagome threw up her hands. Sesshoumaru chose this day to clean when he was supposed to be picking up his son instead of all the other times she asked him to do so. She supposed that she should be happy he did anything at all. Turning to Taro, she said
“Why don’t we eat before you unpack.”
Taro nodded and then remembered. “What happened to plant I gave you last Christmas?”
Both Kagome stared at Sesshoumaru. She knew that they had a plant, but she had no idea what happened to it. .
