Unseen Riches

Chapter 9: Family Ties

Why is she here? Kagome stared in apprehension at her mother. How? How did she find me! Yash was staring between her and her mom in confusion. She did not need this, her mother should not have been here. Without thinking Kagome jumped up and dragged her mother out of the classroom.

" Kagome dear, this is not very lady-like behavior." Kagome just growled at her and dragged her across the campus until they reached the fountain in the middle. She turned on the older woman.

"What are you doing here?" Kagome said, spinning her mom around.

" Do I need a reason to visit my youngest daughter?"

" Don't give me that crap! You've never cared before, why should you now?"

" But dear, it's been so long and I found the nicest boy."

"Stop. Stop right there." Kagome's temper was rising. " Do not tell me you found another potential suitor for me!"

A weepy expressing graced her mothers face; she pulled a dainty napkin out of her expensive purse to wipe fake tears away. " You know all I want is the best for you."

"Whatever." Kagome was waiting; soon her mother would switch moods, just like she always did.

"Whatever! Don't you whatever me young lady! I come home from my trip to London to find you've disappeared to some college in the middle of nowhere. And not to mention your principal tells me you're staying in the 'normal' dorms." There it was, her mothers so called split personality, the one the public didn't see.

" I'm staying in the normal dorm because I like it there. And there was no reason you needed to know where I choose to go to school." Kagome knew this would upset her mother, who had hoped her youngest of 5 daughters would follow in her footsteps, just like all her other children. " Anyway you will request to be moved to the prestigious dorm right away, after all.."

"No I will not."

" Now listen here, you are the daughter of the richest family in Japan and you will act accordingly!"

"I want nothing to do with this family!" Kagome spit out in rage. She hated fighting with her mother, it gave her a headache. All the talk of riches and popularity, it meant nothing to her. It might have even been something to make her resent her family even more.

Natsumi (Kagome's mother) stared at her daughter in blank amazement, never had her daughter ever spoken to her so. It wasn't possible. ******

Yash snuck through the bushes surrounding the fountain with Miroku right behind him. The two boys had left class soon after Kagome and the women. Yash was worried because of Kagome's strange actions.

" Yash!" Miroku poked Yash in the leg with a twig. " I think I know who that woman is!" Yash turned on him, glaring. Miroku started to feel very nervous, God I hope I'm not going to piss him off.

" Well, I've seen her in the news.. I think she's the wife of the prime Minister, Mr. Hugashi." Yash got that glint in his eye and Miroku ducked, pray that the other boy would spare his life.

"How could she be the Prime Ministers wife when she's Kagome's mom!" Yash was furious, but also very confused. What the hell is going on!!! Yash started pulling on Miroku's ponytail to vent out his frustration and soon a fight ensued. The two boys rolled out of there hiding place and right inbetween the two women.

******

Kagome stared down in shock at the two brawling boys. They looked so funny she started laughing uncontrollably. Her mother stared in morbid fascination. " Yash! Yash please stop hitting poor Miroku!" Kagome was still laughing, her sides were starting to hurt.

Yash looked up sheepishly from his position on the ground. He was currently on top of Miroku in a mix of arms and legs, not a pretty picture. " Heh, heh." Sorry about that. It's not like we were spying or anything.." He rose slowly, brushing his clothes off and took out a few strand grass that had gotten snagged in his hair. He's so cute when he's embarrassed! Kagome thought happily.

" Anyway Kagome dear, as I was saying, I have arranged a date between you and this nice boy from England.." Too bad she didn't get to finish. Yash, guessing where the conversation was going moved behind Kagome and possessively crossed his arms around her.

" I'm sorry Lady, but that's not possible." He said, growling. " Kagome is MY girlfriend." Natsumi stared at him in shock. " But you're an animal." She sputtered out. "You have ears."

"Mother!"

" Kagome it's Ok." Yash glared at the women that was his mates mother and smirked. Slowly he pulled Kagome's shirt away from her neck and lowered his head. "Kagome I hope you don't mind." He whispered before biting into her shoulder, leaving a bite shaped mark. Kagome whimpered from the pain. Yash licked the offended spot, trying to comfort the girl. At the sight Kagome's mother fainted dead away, crumpling on the ground. Yash chuckled at his work.

" I'm sorry." Kagome was shaking. Yash wrapped his arms around her tighter, unsure of what was wrong.

"Shhhhh. It Ok baby, whatever's wrong it's ok." He stroked her hair, trying to comfort her.

" I should have told you but I thought you would only like me for my status." She whispered, leaning against him.

" Don't be silly. I love you for you, nothing else matters. That bite claims you as mine and mine alone, no matter what anyone else says."

" Did you know, I wanted you to follow us, to be here. I wanted you to be here."

" I know. I wanted to be here with you." The two embraced as Miroku looked on, smirking while his mind wandered to a certain raven haired girl of his own. Kagome's mom laid crumpled on the ground.

" So you want to tell me about yourself now?" Yash said as he nuzzled into Kag's neck.

" Whatever you want." Kagome said with a laugh. She was happy the truth was out.
