Chapter 14 - Mother in law

I had lost count of the amount of times I had changed my clothes. Sesshomaru had gone shopping for a few things and by a few things, he practically bought the entire mall. But I think this was the one. A white dress adorned with lace flowers, it stopped mid thigh. My raven tresses placed into a neat bun. A beautiful diamond choker sat around my neck. I put a small pearl in each ear. Adding some gloss to my lips. I slipped on, a pair of white heels, about an inch or two high. I looked myself over one last time, I was ready to go. I grabbed my purse off the bed, running downstairs to meet Sesshomaru.

I tapped him on the shoulder. "I'm ready to go."

"Kagome, you look... stunning."

I smiled, blushing. "Thank you. Not so bad yourself."

He looked handsome in his suit, leaving his jacket open. He had pulled his hair it a low ponytail. He grabbed my hand, pulling me over to the car. He opened the door for me, I slid in. He came in, revving up the engine and speeding off.

We'd been driving for a while now. "How far is this place?"

"About another hour or so."

We arrived at the restaurant. It was very classy... was way out of my budget.

"Table for three, under Taisho."

As soon as we entered the eating room, I knew it was her. She stuck out like a sore thumb. A beautiful, elegant thumb. He pulled out my chair, I took my seat. He seated himself next to me.

"Mother. You look well."

"I always look well."

She just stared he eyes never leaving mine. If looks could kill... I'd be dead as soon as I sat down. Sesshomaru was her exact replica, it was like looking in a mirror.

"Kagome."

"Y-Yes mam."

"No need for the formalities. You'll be family soon enough, so please. Call me Kim."

"Okay.. Kim."

"So, how did you and my son meet."

I didn't know how to answer her..

"Actually mother, we've known each other since high school. Before I left for America."

"I asked her."

I cleared my throat. "It's true that's how long we've known each other. But we recently reconnected when we ran into each other while I was grocery shopping."

"Hn, I see. So why are you with my son? For his money I presume."

She has got to be kidding me. "No-"

"If you are let me tell you something young lady. I will any and everything to destroy, if you even have anything to destroy that is."

"No. Let me tell you something, Kim. I'm with your son because I love him, I'm with him because I can't remember the last time I've ever been in love with anyone or anything this much. I'm with your son because he's given me a reason to wake up in the morning. He saved me when no one else could. I, am with him because it was like I was drowning and he brought me up for air. He is my silver lining, my happy ending. My knight in shining armor. So no, I am not with him for his money." I huffed sitting back in my chair, folding my hands across my chest.

"Well then. I think I might actually like you."

I stared at her in utter disbelief. "What?"

"You stood up to me. None of the hussies be for you would have ever done that. Good job, give your self a pat on the back. You're a tough one." She smiled at me. "Excuse, I need to freshen up."

I watched her walk away. God that woman was intimidating.

She chuckled. "That was quite a show."

"I don't know what came over me, its like she struck a nerve or something. I don't know, she just got under my skin."

He leaned in kissing me. "It's alright." He squeezed my thigh. "It excited me."

She came back from the bathroom. "Well shall we get going?" She asked.

"Going? Going where? Aren't we going to eat."

"Ha!, a lady never eats in public. Now let's go."

I rolled my eyes, following them out to the car. I felt like a child I had to sit in the back of the car on the ride to the ring shop. I mean sure Sesshomaru told me to sit in the front, but I insisted that Kim take the front seat.. as if she'd have anything less. The ride was short, the ring shop was small on the outside. Inside it was enormous, jewelry adorned the walls. Earrings and necklaces of all shapes and sizes sat in rows. Cases of rings sat in the middle of the shop.

"Go on, pick one." He whispered in my ear.

I searched and searched, it took me about an hour to find the one but I did. It was beautiful, a silver band. Two tows of diamonds circled a single amber diamond.

"This one. This is the one."

He slipped his hand around my waist. "It's perfect. I think I'll choose this one. " He said pointing to a large silver band next to it.

I grinned. "It perfect."

Kim's phone rang, ruining the moment. "Sorry dear, work is calling. I must go, see you later Kagome."

I waved goodbye. "Your mother is very..."

"Pushy?"

"I guess you could say that."

He chuckled pulling me closer to him. "Come one, let's get the rings."

I smiled. "Sure."

This moment was perfect. I just couldn't shake the feeling that...

Something bad was about to happen.
