" Mom, that can wait. Right now, I want to talk to you about your life." Kagome stopped talking for a minute to see if Cori was around. " I want to know how you can function with this guy around. He hurts Souta, and he obviously doesn't like me."
Kagome's mother held a straight face. " Honey, how bout I take you out to dinner tonight. Then we can talk about it. Yasha may come too."
" Souta too, please?" asked Kagome.
Kagome's mom nodded. " Souta too."
" Thanks mom. Right now, I'm feeling tired from the drive. Do you have a room for Yasha and I?" asked Kagome.
" Of course. You may take the room directly accross Souta's room. Have a good rest." said Akiko.
" I will, I mean, we will." Kagome said, giggling.

Chapter 13: Money makes the world go round
" Yasha!" yelled Kagome, who was fixing her hair.
Yasha peeked out from inside the bathroom. " What do ya want, woman!"
Kagome smiled sweetly at him. " Do you happen to know where my necklace is? You know, the one you got me?"
" Oh, um...that necklace. It's uh...um, back home?" said Yasha sheepishly.
Kagome's face turned all red. " Yasha! You knew I wanted to show my mother! Prepare to die!"
" Eep!" said Yasha, closing the bathroom door fast.
Kagome couldn't but stare. 'Did Yasha just say eep? Oh goody, my fiance turned into a girl.' She thought.
" Yasha, please don't be rude tonight. If anyone should be rude, it's going to be me." Kagome said with a triumphant smirk.
Yasha stuck his head out of the bathroom again. " So long as I get to be the girl." He replied with a smirk.
They both ended up laughing.

(At the restruant)
" Please enjoy yourselves. If you need anything, my name is Zed, and I will be your waiter. Please let me know when you're ready to order."
" Thank You." said Kagome's mother.
" Now dear, what is it that you wanted to talk about?"
Kagome sighed, and unfolded her napkin. " Mother, what do you see in Cori?"
" Cori is a nice man with lots of wealth." said Kagome's mother.
"Mom! No, you can't marry him! I don't care how much money we have left!" said Kagome.
"Dear..."
" How can he be nice if he and his son threaten Souta?"
Kagome's mother looked at her with a raised eyebrow. " Why would Cori and Masafumi hurt Souta?"
Kagome pounded the table with her fist. " Mom! You don't notice because you are never around. If you take a look at Souta's back, you can see what they have been doing to him. I don't like that Cori either. He talks as if i'm not even your daughter."
"Kagome! That will be enough, you will not be disrespectful in a resturant." Kagome's mother scolder, with a stern look.
" Mom! I'm not a child anymore. I came home to spend quality time with you and Souta, and that...that guy happened to be there. Mom, he isn't the one for you." Kagome yelled.
Everyone in the resturant now stared at them. Souta was sweating like mad with wide eyes at his sister and mother. Yasha was pretending not to notice the two fighting.
" Nothing to see folks, just continue what you were doing." Yasha said, sheepishly.
Kagome slammed her napkin on the table and walked, no, stomped out of the resturant.
Yasha looked at his girlfried just leave, and back towards where her mother was standing. If he didn't know any better, he'd say this is one of those pre-menstrual moments. He took Souta by the hand and told him that the two needed time to talk it out. Souta nodded and left with Yasha. Their mother on the other hand only stared at where her daughter was sitting, then a little tear dropped from her eye onto the napkin on the table. All she could say was, " What have I done?"
----------------------
Kagome was at a little park near the Sunset Shrine. She was sitting on one of the swing sets and have her feet push her back and fowards. All she kept on thinking about is her mom, and why she liked that Cori guy.
'How could mom like him? He's not worth it, how can she just throw her love away for, for, money!' Kagome thought. She was crying, she didn't want to yell at her mother, and yet, she did. She felt terrible for yelling, but her mother just didn't seem to understand.
'Great, I'm supposed to be happy about getting married, i'm supposed to be getting married soon! Now here we are...I'm sure mom's upset at me, Souta probably won't talk to me, Yasha will probably avoid me for god knows how long, and Cori...Cori just happened to ruin my life!' Kagome thought bitterly. She sighed, and got up.
" I supposed I should go apologize to mom. No use getting mad at mom's choice. I'll just have to make sure that Souta stays with me." Kagome thought, out loud this time.
" You better accept your mom's choice." a voice sneered.
Kagome turned around to come face to face with Cori. "What do you want?"
Cori advanced towards her, " I'm sure you're familiar with the term, accepted, right?"
" Yes I know what that means, what does that have to do with you?"
" Missy, do you even know my last name?" Cori smirked.
" Of course, isn't Kyogre, like Masafumi's."
" Hmm...you're smart, but not that smart. Masafumi is my adopted son. My last name is Onigumo." Cori bared a wide grin.
Kagome's eyes widened, and she gasped. " O...Onigumo!" Kagome's mind was screaming. ' No, no it just can't be! Naraku is dead!'
" So you think Naraku is dead do you?" Cori bellowed out a great evil laugh.
Kagome's eyes were still widened to the fact that he knew what she was thinking. " Are...Are you a demon?"
" Me, a demon? Hardly! I am just a simple reincarnation of Naraku. Just like your friends Kagome dear, except they are descendents. I am the actual thing, only I don't have demonic powers." Cori chuckled.
Kagome wanted to laugh. She just wanted to laugh right now, and stop laughing when this dream was over. In fact, that's what she did. She laughed.
Cori sweatdropped and mumbled, "That is one insane girl."
In the distance, you could hear a faint "Kagome".
Kagome stopped laughing and froze. She turned around to see Yasha running towards her. She smiled, than she frowned. How would he take it that this guy is actually the reincarnation of his arch rival.
" Yasha! So glad you came." Kagome started laughing again.
Yasha rose an eyebrow at Kagome. " Hey, you okay?"
Cori double sweatdropped that time.
" Yasha, Cori here, is actually the reincarnation of Naraku. Cori's last name is Onigumo." Kagome laughed harder.
Yasha stared wide eyed at his wife, then looked at Cori who just looked like someone had posessed this girl.
" Hey! What made Kags start laughing?" Yasha asked.
Cori grinned. " Why Yasha, I didn't know you cared. Or should I call you, Inuyasha?"
Now Yasha stared at Cori, until everything that Kagome said sank in. " You're Naraku's reincarnation?"
Cori bellowed a "Muahahahahaha." Turned his eyes towards Yasha and said, "Of course I am. You are the same Inuyasha, are you not?"
Yasha didn't know what to say. If Cori spilled the beans of Inuyasha and Yasha to Kagome's mother, I believe that she will freak. Her mom thinks that Inuyasha is dead.
" I have a question?" Kagome asked, getting over her laughing.
Cori raised a brow.
" How can Naraku be reincarnated?"
Yasha and Cori stared at Kagome with dotted eyes. They couldn't believe she asked that question.
" Gee, coming from a girl who is a reincarnated priestess, you sure are dumb." said Cori.
Yasha narrowed his eyes at Cori, " Dare you call her dumb again."
Kagome tilted her head a little and said, "Um...reincanated priestess..." She than snapped her fingers, " A ha! I'm Kikyo's reincarnation, so I guess Naraku could be reincarnated, but Naraku is EVIL! EVIL!" Kagome pointed at finger at Cori.
Yasha sweatdropped and looked around, whistling, acting like he didn't know her.
Cori, also sweatdropped. ' Is this girl on constant PMS?' He thought.
Kagome took huge stomping steps towards Cori and when he least expected it. A hand implanted its print on his face. " How dare you! You, you EVIL creation! Don't you dare hurt my brother! Or my mother! Or...Or...Um Yash?"
Yasha stopped whistling and looked at his fiance. " Yes, sweetie?"
" Can I have some strawberry pie with chocolate frosting and mayonaise?" Kagome asked sweetly, battling her eyes.
Yasha chocked on his next words that were going to come out. Cori looked disgusted on what Kagome just asked for.
" Kagome, you okay sweets?" Yasha asked.
" Yes, I'm fine...but I want my STRAWBERRY PIE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING AND MAYONAISE NOWWWWWW!" Kagome yelled, giving off a lot of anger.
" Yes, of course dear. Shall we go home?" Yasha asked, moving behind Cori, even though he is 'EVIL' as Kagome puts it.
Kagome smiled, and said, " Okay Yash, let's go!" She walked towards him and grabbed his hand and skipped her way home.
Cori could only stare. " Okay, forget the whole reincarnation thing. It was made up anyways." He said, before heading back too.

(Back at home)
Souta was playing a game on the playstation, and Akiko was sewing some little boots.
Souta turned around and asked why she was making boots. She simply said, " Just in case Kagome gets a child for me."
Souta sweatdropped and returned to his game.
The door opened not to long after. Kagome stomped her way to the couch which her mother was on. Akiko did not care to regard her daughter standing there.
Kagome frowned and said, "Mama?" In the faintest whisper.
Akiko put down her sewing and stared up at her daughter, sensing something was wrong.
" Yes dear?"
Kagome dropped down by her mother and hugged her. " Mama, I'm sorry. It's just that..I, um..we.."
"Shh, It's okay sweetie. If you don't want me to marry him, it's fine. If it makes you unhappy my baby." Akiko couldn't be upset with her daughter.
Yasha walked in to see the two hugging. He crept away slowly hoping, only hoping, that Kagome wouldn't notice him..."YASHA!" Spoke too soon.
" Yes Kag?"
" I still want my strawberry pie with chocolate frosting and mayonaise." Kaogme sweetly told him.
Cori came inside just in time to hear that. " I swear, that girl is insane!"
Akiko looked up at Cori and smiled. " She's not insane, I believe she has the cravings."
Kagome looked up at her mother, Cori stared at Akiko, and Souta paused his game, and Yasha froze at the door.
" Honey? Don't you have something to tell us dear?" Akiko said, sweetly.
" Tell? No..I don't have nothing to tell." Kagome said, hesitantly.
" Kagome, it's ' I don't have anything to tell' not 'nothing'." Her mother scolded.
" I don't care...Yasha! My pie, now!"
Now this is what you call, wierd. First off, Cori goes off saying he's the reincarnation of Naraku, then Kagome got the cravings, Akiko decided not to remarry for her daughter's happiness, and sons. Cori and Masafumi decided to hang around a bit longer for the wedding. Even if Cori is 'EVIL!'
