Seeing is Believing
Chapter 4
By Kiara Jaganshi
A/N: Yo peeps! The long awaited chapter 4 is finally here! And if I was in a nice mood, I probably updated chapter 5 and maybe 6 as well! But that all depend on my mood! I guess it's August 10 or the 11... I don't pay attention to that sort of stuff! But I do know when my birthday is! I'M GOING TO BE 14 ON THE 19TH!!! Yeahy for me! Just to inform you, I will be putting up a couple new stories that I have been working on, so don't expect me to be updating as much on True Wonders and the rest, because I'm trying to finish those before the rest. Oh well!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho. I own Kiara Taisho however. And her apartment, and everything else she owns, I own. Yeahy for me!!!
"Nice going Kurama..." Yuseke murmured into the kitsune's highly sensitive ears. "You've proved how being smart does some wonders after all..."
Kurama gave him a pointed look, and chanced a glance at the backseat where Miss Taisho was currently staring out the window, an unattended history on the seat besides her. She truly was easy on the eyes, as Yuseke had summed up earlier. And to top it off, she didn't react the same as other girls usually did with him. Others would gawk and fawn, but all Kiara did was smile and talk sweetly to him, as if he were some normal person.
'I thought you wanted to be seen as a normal person,' Youko reminded him, jolting him back into reality. 'And please keep your eyes on the road. That guy over there just flipped us off...'
Kurama once again shut out the bothersome kitsune spirit out. "So, where are we going to eat Yuseke?"
"Oh, anywhere's fine, as long as you're paying!" Yuseke joked. Then he put on a serious face. "Seriously, I left all my money at home. I didn't know we were lunching with a beautiful lady."
Kiara giggled lightly in the backseat, making Kurama's heart soar. "Don't worry. I'll pay! And how about I pick the restaurant? I've only been there once in this town, but their fish are excellent here!" Kiara recommended.
"Well, great with me. Just tell me where and I'll drive," Kurama agreed.
"Wow..." Yuseke mumbled as he stared up at the large restaurant. Many people passed by the trio, more grandly dressed and snickering at them.
"La Petite! It's a French restaurant. We have one back home as well," Kiara explained.
"Um, we're not exactly dressed right for this place..." Kurama said, looking at his own forest green, male Chinese outfit.
"Nonsense!" Kiara scoffed, glaring daggers at passer bys who were laughing at her own outfit. "I used to come here when I was just in diapers! AND YOU TOO, YOU OVER-MAKEUPY LADY!!! I WONDER WHAT YOU REALLY LOOK LIKE!!!"
Yuseke concealed his laughter under his hand even as the outraged women stomped angrily past them, scuffing Kiara's leather boots in the process. "She's out for revenge, Kiara!"
Kiara just flipped her hair over her shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll just have Daddy fire her later," she shrugged off. "Daddy probably employs her too. I think she's the lady who fed me all those apple cobblers and made me sick a month ago..." she added.
"Well, let us go in..." Kurama said nervously, the other two complying.
All heads turned as the three unruly teenagers walked into the restaurant. A man dressed in a very expensive suit hurried past the large mob of awaiting customers to the trio, looking puffed up and snobby.
"Excuse me, sirs and madam," he started out politely. "But I think you have the wrong shop. You see, this isn't a place for young people, such as yourselves," he said, sneering all the while.
"Oh, I'm sorry to here that. The rules must have changed since last time I was here," Kiara replied, just as high and all mighty. "Oh well. I'm sorry to tell you this, but you're fired. It's nothing personal. It's just that I don't like you!"
The worker looked outraged and straightened out to his full height, not much taller then Yuseke, and still shorter then Kurama. "I don't think you have the authority to do that, miss! Now, if you brats will get out of the way, I'll kindly call up each of your parents and request an escort home!"
Another man, this time in a chef's outfit came running into the scene. "Mademoiselle Kiara! It is so good to see you again! Is your father here as well?" he asked kindly, his cheeks tinged with pink from the heat of the kitchen still. "I haven't seen him much since I was transferred from the other restaurant!"
"I'm afraid not, John," Kiara said in a saddened tone to the plump, French chef. "I'm just here with a couple of my friends though! We came in here for your excellent fish!" she added brightly, her face lighting up.
"Ah, how nice madam! I will ready a table immediately!"
"Now, wait just a second! This lady has no right to be respected and treated so specially when other, well paying customers are waiting, John!" the waiter once again interrupted.
The chef looked questioningly at the angered waiter. "What ever do you mean? This young lady is one of the richest people in the world!" John exclaimed. "This here is the prize jewel of Japan, royal princess of the Taisho family, and most importantly, Seshomaru-sama's lovely young daughter, Kiara Taisho! World re-known teenager and supermodel!"
"Did you have to add that in?" Kiara almost hissed at the man. "I quit modeling ages ago! It was boring strutting down the catwalk in flimsy skirts and outrageously stupid outfits by snob designers with no talent!"
The waiter looked too shocked to talk, and it was only from hand gestures that he walked solemnly out the door, obviously thinking about the several mistakes he made. Employing under the Taisho family and talking to Kiara being a couple of them.
When John looked over questioningly, Kiara just shrugged again. "I fired him. He was a disrespectful waiter! I think I'll be interviewing all the workers here personally to hand pick them later maybe. Anyway, can you get us some lunch in such short notice?" Kiara asked, concern in her face.
"Oh no! Of course not! I always have several fish fresh and ready to cook for you!" And with that, the chef ushered them all to a candle lit table
"Wow..." Yuseke mumbled again, speechless at the scene he had witnessed, sliding in next to Kiara who was sitting next to Kurama at the circular table.
"You just gotta have connections!" Kiara said, all too knowingly, buffing her nails on her shirt in mock snobby ness. "Oh my! I think I chipped a nail!"
A/N: Did you like it? I hope so! Cause I was writing this through writers block and all! And whew, is it hard! I'm kinda unstuck now, but now I don't know which scenes to do first! It's not fair! I wanna do all of them in chapter five! But alas, it cannot be so... Poor me! Oh well! (I'm happy again!) Below is some shout outs I'm sending to all my faithful reviewers and friends!
Ranyame325: Hey! I want to thank you for your awesome review! It's so nice to get such positive feedback! Unlike some people who threaten you to update... (looks over at Yume) And I also checked out your stories as well! They are really good too!
Yume Jaganshi: Ah, dear twin, stop bugging me to update already!!! And yes, I told you, you are in this story! I don't know about pairing you up with Touya again, but you're in it! And it is not weird that my image in the story is totally different from who I really am! I got tired of long hair, and that's why I cut it! It doesn't matter if Kiara has long hair or not. It's all in my imagination! So there! Talk to you later Sis!
Tikaru: I'm not sure if you even reviewed or even read this story, but all well! I'm lazy so I'm not gonna bother looking you up! You've been a real inspiration to me writing stories! Thanks again!
Leiko Hikaru: Hmmm... I ran out of good things to say. Oh well! Thanks, and keep reviewing and reading! I love you Leiko! But I love Youko more! Anyway, I hope this chapter comes up on your comp unlike the last ones! Ja ne!
pretendingtobesane: I know! I love these kind of stories! And of course there will be a sugar high little koorime and a girl looking to snatch my poor darling Kurama! And yes, I love to look at Youko as a sex god and Hiei as a sadistic little demon! But this story has a few twists... Like for instance, who's Kiara's mother? And what about Seshomaru? Will he make an entrance in my fic? Hmm... All things to consider!
Anime-gurl: I love you! You are one awesome girl who is an awesome person! You are so great at complimenting people in just the way they like to be complimented! Plus, a good review always make me want to write more! I'm pleased so easily
Okay, that's all the reviewers I think… Anyway, here's the little Japanese corner I promised you guys!

Inu --- If you can't guess, is dog
Neko --- cat
Uma --- horse.
Zou --- elephant
Kitsune --- fox

Okay, I think that's enough for one chapter! I will be doing this about every other chapter now, just cause I'm lazy. So there! On to the next chapter if I posted!
