The Grandchildren of The 2 Great Lords

Chapter 20
Rikuo and I ran towards our classroom after the bell rang. Damn this shit! I am so late. Hamasaki-sensei is going to kill us both!
After we asked permission to enter the room, all the eyes were at us. I felt like I was going to shrink.
"There must be an explanation for your tardiness," stated Hamasaki-sensei. She may be the nicest teacher in the world but she does not tolerate people being tardy. Rikuo and I gulped at her stern look.
We both walked silently to our desks and then Rikuo said,
"This is all my fault, Hamasaki-sensei. Kameko-chan had nothing to do with this."
"Does this has anything to do with her chasing you around campus?" she asked. I blushed madly.
"I said something I shouldn't have, sensei." Rikuo seemed sincere. I scoffed.
"Is there anything you want to add to his statement, Taisho-san?" she asked me.
"Eh? Ah, no Hamasaki-sensei," suddenly my skirt looked interesting.
"Very well then, both of you will have homeroom duties for the rest of the week. With that said, let us begin with our class for today…"
What a drag, I thought as I was throwing today's trash. This is Rikuo's fault! Well, actually, it was my fault too; I shouldn't have chased him around like that…
Rikuo was still upstairs cleaning the black board and ordering books and stuff in the homeroom. I took it upon myself to get rid of the trash. I needed to get some air. Once I was done, I took the back stairs to get to our classroom. I had both trash bins in hands when something stopped me; or actually, someone.
"Renkotsu…" I snared. In the past I had learned the names and the abilities of all the members of the Shichinintai.
I walked past by him but he grabbed on of the trash bins.
"Look, asswipe, if you are looking for provocation, fine you got it, now leave me alone, I have duties to attend to," I yanked the trash bin away from him and walked away.
Before I even knew it, Rikuo was between Renkotsu and me. The latter just smirked and walked down the stairs, humming.
"What's up with that guy?" I asked Rikuo after Renkotsu left.
"They are just trying to test and see your reaction, provoking you into doing something. But we must wait until he loses his head and becomes impatient… like somebody I know…" Rikuo smirked.
I huffed at the last comment, "Don't be such an imbecile, Rikuo… I'm really not in the mood to tolerate your idiocy."
"Look, I'm sorry for what happened this morning. I didn't know that was going to happen…" he tried to apologize.
"There's no need for it now… I clearly smell like you and that's probably not going to change, so just leave it at that. God knows what people are thinking but I guess it shouldn't matter," I said walking back to the classroom. The school building was disserted except for some students in the music room and art room.
"Everyone now thinks I bedded you…. Seiichimaru probably wants me dead, not to mention Itaku…."
"Don't worry about those two; they'll come around," I said tiredly.
"So, you are not mad at me anymore?" Rikuo asked shyly. Well, well… this is a new facet of Rikuo I haven't seen…
"No, I'm not mad anymore, I'm just mad that everyone had to find out." I said looking at the sky. It would be twilight anytime soon.
After we where done with all the duties, we walked towards the library and did some homework. Well, actually I dragged him there. I wonder if he asks his underlings to do his homework for him…
The next few days where just the same: Everyone else was getting used to the fact that Rikuo and I where an item, openly. I do not like displays of affection outside the bedroom, so I ordered to keep his hands to himself whenever he was around me. The occasional stare or just holding hand is fine. Itaku was in a particular sour mood most of the time but he kept hanging around, which I was glad. I dreaded the fact of losing his friendship. Yura seemed to be in a weird glee every time she saw Rikuo and me together. I begged Seiichi not to tell my parents or even his family about my relationship with the Sandaime of the Nura Gumi.
The weekend had arrived and I nearly pied myself when I remembered what weekend it was: Family visiting weekend. I started panicking. Yura was very excited as she received word that her brothers Akifusa, Ryuuji and Mamiru where coming to visit. I was particularly curious to meet this Ryuuji character; he seemed to be an interesting person.
Oh my goodness! My parents are probably eager to meet my friends and they are going to know about Rikuo! Oh God no… they are probably gonna smell him all over me… those two dogs have sharper noses than anyone I know… this is not good. Mother is going to probably see me skinnier and she'll scold me… Oh and they are going to find out about me being kicked out from archery club. I must hide myself in the woods 'till this weekend is over…
But to my utter dismay, Seiichimaru had just texted saying that the 'fam' was 15 minutes away and that I should be down at the gate to receive them. I dreaded this moment.
Oh wait! I'm probably going to meet Rikuo's family too… oh hell no! No! No! I should disappear…
There was no way in hell I was going to get away with this. I was also freaking out as to what to wear: Dress or pants? Dress or jeans? Sweatpants, maybe… No, mother's gonna kill me if I met her in such drags… urgh! I finally decided to call Yura. She came in a heartbeat.
"What's the emergency?" she said as she walked in. She nearly fainted when she saw my entire wardrobe in the bed and desk chair.
"I don't know what to wear! Rikuo's family might come and I want to make a good impression. Besides, my mother wouldn't want me dressed in a big T with leggings…. Yura-chan, help me" I whimpered like a dog looking at a savory bone.
"You are asking the worst person, Kameko-chan!" she said with a disbelief look on her face. "I know nothing about fashion!"
"Just help me choose… leave the fashion to me… ahhhhhgggg!" I screamed at my predicament. Note to self: do not meet your boyfriend's family.
After ten minutes of hard selection for the perfect wardrobe (for the guys reading this, I bring a little bit of my personality into my character and yeah, I'm a fashion freak… sorry about this in advance) we made our decision.
Cladded in a vintage-inspired, turquoise dress with a pintucked bodice and hemline, a pair of floral flats and a white boyfriend cardigan, I made my way towards the gate. I had my hair down with a small yellow bow at the top of my head. Yura was wearing a grey graphic tee that read 'Don't be negative' with a camera in the background and a pair of distressed jeans and white loafers.
Seiichimaru was already at the gate talking to Kubinashi and Rikuo. My heart skipped a beat when I saw Rikuo in a white, ¾ sleeve shirt with a pair of fitted dark blue jeans and grey Converse. Other students where also waiting at the gates.
"Ah, Kameko… Yura-chan, good to see you two," said Rikuo with a smug look on his face. I was in the verge of passing out and he seemed so natural… BAKA!
"Rikuo!" I heard a voice call out. I've never heard it before.
"Oyaji?" he whispered, stunned.
My heartbeat quickened as I saw a small group of people, or rather say, youkais walking towards us. There was a certain importance and elegance in their demeanor.
The Supreme Commanders of the Nura Gumi made their way gracefully towards us. The two youkais that had their hair like Rikuo's, I assumed where his father and grandfather. I was astonished at their distinction and grandeur. An ayakashi that personifies dreams and illusions… no wonder why they are so attractive!
"Ah, son… what do we have here," said the one with black, gravity defying hair, which I assume is Rikuo's father as he looked at me pearly. I blushed like a tomato. Rikuo's father is… so handsome!
"So this is your girlfriend, I presume…" said the other golden white and black, gravity defying haired youkai with the infamous smirk. I can see where he gets that smirk…
"Un." Rikuo's face was about to explode in embarrassment. I heard a chuckle and I veered my view towards a very beautiful woman, with hair black as mine and with a very exquisite face.
"I'm Rikuo's mother," she let out a hand for me to shake and I did, "Yamabuki Otome. What's your name, sweetheart?"
I bowed, replying: "My name is Taisho Kameko, nice to meet you."
"She's very polite, Rikuo." said Rikuo's father as he ruffled his hair, making him mad and all the more embarrassed.
"Oh, quit it!" he yelled. He stared at as if saying, You ain't so innocent. I only shrugged.
"Way to go son! She is a very beautiful young lady!" Rihan stretched an arm around his son's neck and ruffled his head, nearly making Rikuo lose his balance. Everyone chuckled.
"Otou-san! Just stop!" yelled Rikuo. Everyone laughed.
"You are embarrassing the boy in front of his girlfriend!" said the Supreme Commander slapped Rihan on the back of his head.
"Oi, jiji… why did you have to do that for," complained Nura Rihan with a kiddy voice. I couldn't help but smile at the picture. Three generations of Nurarihyon all together. They seemed like a great family; all the more enticing.
"Kameko! Seiichimaru!" I could hear the voice of my aunt Rin calling from afar. I totally forgot my manners and ran towards them. Seiichimaru followed suit.
"Kamekohime," said father as he enveloped me in a bear hug. I loved it when I called me his princess. We separated and I hugged mother too. She was all smiles. Right then and there I realized how much I missed them.
Seiichimaru also greeted his family. Aunt Rin was clinging at his neck and he had to peel her off; she was embarrassing him. Uncle Sesshomaru put a hand in his son's shoulder and nodded. Those two have a weird way of communicating…
Just then Rikuo's family turned around to face mine… You could see ancient history reuniting as the Heirs of the most powerful yakuza family faced the imperial inu youkai.
Soooo, I'm in the WINDY CITY! I'm so happy to be back (I used to live here before).. Anyways, so I will still be able to continue writing (yey-happy dance!) Review!
