"Now I know that this may seem strange to you Kagome, but we are going on a shopping spree!" Izayoi nearly screamed with more enthusiasm then one person should have.

Shopping; normally it is a favored pastime for most women including Kagome, unfortunately when the clothing you are being forced into costs more then your first car it can be interesting. Kagome soon realized that Izayoi was not going to give in to any type of trick. "Here Kagome, try this one on." It was Izayoi shoving some other article of clothing over the top of the dressing stall.

It was a summer dress and from the looks of it this dress was intended to be worn somewhere nice. Soft silky baby blue fabric slipped over her head as she moved to adjust the spaghetti straps. Looking at herself Kagome had to admit for a crazy rich woman Izayoi knew what she was doing. "Okay come out so I can see you." Izayoi called.

Once Kagome stepped out Izayoi's eyes nearly popped out of her head, she hadn't seen that body in years. "You look just like your mother." She said in a soft voice.

Izayoi had sectioned off the section of the store they were currently in but even that couldn't stop workers from stopping to stare at her. Whether she knew it or not Kagome looked stunning in a simple baby blue spaghetti strap dress that fell to her knees. As Kagome tried to get back into the dressing room the store's owner just happened to walk out.

He was a portly rich white man who just happened to be looking for new cover models for his store. As soon as he saw Kagome in an original dress his eyes nearly popped out of his head. There she was a goddess before his eyes and he hadn't even taken in the sight of the lovely woman who stood beside her either. Once his mind began to clear he rushed over the lovely ladies with an expression of sheer happiness.

"Excuse me Ladies, I am Mr. Edwards and I am the owner of this store. I was wondering if you two would mind modeling for us in our next store magazine." He introduced himself all in one breathe.

"I am Mrs. Inu Tiasho and she is Miss Kagome Higurashi, we are sorry but we can not pose for your magazine. We have a previous engagement to attend that will have us out of the country at the end of the month." She spoke in a fluid rush which nearly shocked Kagome.

"Please reconsider, here take this just in case you do." He passed a business card to Izayoi who shoved it into her purse.

"We will think about it. Thank you." She answered in her soft sweet as pie voice.

Mr. Edwards seemed pleased with the news and he walked away with a smile on his face. Too bad for him Izayoi just ignored him and turned back to Kagome to continue the torture she had begun.

Hours later Kagome was shoved into a dress with her hair and make-up all done by a professional. "Izayoi you do realize that I will just throw my cape over it when we go there right?" she asked over the commotion of shoving her into the baby blue summer dress.

"We are going out to dinner after your graduation you know." She answered as she began her finishing touches.

Kagome shut her mouth as soon as the words left Izayoi's mouth, she should have known. The whole time her father and the Tiashos' had been there they had done their best to spoil her unconditionally which was beginning to become annoying. All Kagome wanted was a nice evening alone with her loved ones but that seemed to be a far cry from the normal lives these people lived.

The graduation was lovely for Kagome who was named valedictorians of her graduating class. Her father was so proud of her major achievement that he promised her that he would allow her to pick anything that his company made as her graduating gift. It wasn't until dinner that he told what his company did though.

Everyone sat at the table of the finest restaurant money could buy congratulating Kagome on her success. Many pictures had already been taken and Kagome was cheerfully chatting with her father when he decided to tell Kagome the family business that she would be entered in upon arrival in Japan. "Kagome I think it is time you learned the family business." The table grew quiet. "We," he gestured to Tiasho "own a major jewelry company together. You and Inu's two sons are currently the deed owners. Welcome to the business." He spoke in a loud yet cheerful voice.

Kagome was floored she was a deed holder in a jewelry shop that was going to be an interesting conquest. Izayoi had told her much about Inu's sons and she knew that they would be a challenge to deal with. "What kind of Jewelry store is it?" she asked with real interest in her voice.

"My dear it is more then just a store, we make the jewelry with everything down to the finest pearls. We have designers who make all of our creations and then we sell them." Inu said with pride.

"It was years ago that the two of us started this business it was then that we designed the jewelry ourselves but the times have changed. Thankfully our partnership hasn't." Her father added.
