Worlds apart

(Words in Book Antique, and that are centered are flash backs otherwise, a normal story format. Also I guess I should tell you that I don't own Inuyasha or the characters from the series in this story. I hope I don't get in trouble for using the creator of Inuyasha's name as Kagome's dad. Lucky bastard Takahasi)

Mrs. Higurashi stepped into he daughters room fuming. Her daughter sat contently on her bed listening to some American pop on her double woofer system. She ignored her mother as she seemed to mouth some words to her. Getting angrier by the moment, she motioned for her to turn down the stereo. Kagome picked up a pink blinged out remote and muted the stereo.

" What?"

" Kagome! Why are you playing the stereo so loud?"

Kagome threw her mother a jaundiced look.

" Is that why you came here?"

He mother crossed the lush carpeting in the large room. Coming to stand in front of her daughter under the safety of her silk canopy drapes, she pursed her lips.

" Do you want me to get rid of him?"

" No, but why would you?"

" I know you were riding him! The ranch hand saw you sneak out. That horse is still wild and I don't want you to hurt yourself."

" Stop pretending you care. It's not becoming of you." Her eyes narrowed in utter disrespect. She made a mental note to talk to Yao, the main ranch hand about his employee with loose lips.

" Don't get back on that horse again or else I get rid of him. And not in a way you can just buy him back. I'll send him to the slaughter house, have him turned into leather and glue."

Without a reply, her mother turned on her heels and strode out of the room. Kagome turned up the stereo as Avril Lavign flowed into her room. I can't stand her. Every since Dad died, she'd been marching all over the place like she in charge now! Why doesn't she just leave me alone? She threw herself back on the bed. I swear this summer, I'm not staying with her. Kagome Higurashi was the daughter of the late multi billionaire Rumiko Higurashi, Video gaming mogul. She was, in short, an heiress. She wasn't spoilt but she still stung from the death of her father, even though it was over 10 years ago.

'Daddy, are we there yet? Can we stop for food? Tell the limo driver to stop! OOOH! Look! I want to go to that amusement park. '

' Sit down Kagome, we will be there in due time. And we'll go to the park after we go to mommy in the hospital. She 's bringing you a playmate home, you know that?'

' But you are my plate mate! You're leaving me? No daddy please don't go!'

' Little Kagome, I'm not going anywhere, so wipe your eyes and put on a smile for mommy.' She wiped her eyes and smiled at him

'Ok daddy, I love you!"

Kagome closed her eyes as she heard the tire squeals and the deafening boom of the fatal accident that took her father away from her. They had skidded on an ice patch and ran into the forest before finally crashing into a large weeping willow. The irony of it was that she was doing the weeping. She was the only survivor of the accident with nothing but a few minor brakes and bruises. She was told the only reason she survived was because she had been flung to the floor of the car. She felt a scar on her left leg begin to throb as she remembered the stretcher taking her away and she seeing her Father on the opposite stretcher. She remembered calling to him and him not responding. Tears stung her eyes. Her mother cherished her younger brother Sota as the last gift he gave to her, her 'little treasure' as she loved to call him. Kagome honestly believed that her mother saw her as the cause of the accident and deep down inside, she believed it too. Her mother was also disappointed to the way her daughter had turned out. She wasn't all frills and lace. Granted she loved pink but she also liked horses, wild sports, gambling, cursing, video games and her all time favorite skinny-dipping. Not exactly lady like. Today she had stolen out the beautiful Arabian breed horse Titan and gone to the marshy lake beyond their property. She had taken a dip and hurried home. But she still got busted.

" KAGOME, TURN THAT RADIO OFF!"

Kagome jumped off the bed and slammed the door before turning off the radio. Some video games would be lovely at this time.

It was nearly midnight before she finally turned her console off. She loved playing Resident Evil.

" I wonder if Titan would enjoy going for a ride now?"

She was half way out the window when her mother burst into the room.

" Kagome. I swear I'm going to bar your windows. "

" What do you want!" She almost screamed it at her in anger. She knew she was a bit cranky because of the passing of the anniversary of her father's death.

" We're leaving in the morning."

" To go where?"

" America. I think we need a change in scenery. Your maid will be in at 7 to pack your clothes."

" You cant just up and go to America like that! Are you stupid?"

" Your father purchased a summer house in Montana. Our plane leaves at 11."

Kagome had stepped inside the room and staring at the woman in front of her nefariously. She folded her arms.

" You are lying." Her voice was normal first but then it grew. " You bitch! Your using Dad's money for your own antics! You lying Motherfucker! I hate you!!!"

" He left his company to you but until you are 18, its mine. I don't have to explain anything to you Kagome. We'll be leaving here at 10." She turned and headed to the door. She paused before she opened the door. " Watch your language. Its not becoming of an heiress."

" I HATE YOU, GET OUT!!!" Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs. Her mother slipped out the room before Kagome got hold of something heavy and sailed at her, like she had done so many times in the past. She knew Kagome hated being an heiress because society looked at her as a figurine on a pedestal and she knew she wasn't that. Kagome let out an ear-shattering scream before she jumped into her bed and cried.

Flight 218, final boarding call for flight 218 to Atlanta airport, Atlanta

Georgia. Gate 12.

The PA system sounded garbled like it had a cold. Kagome took up her small carry on luggage and looked at her mother who was smiling with her brother Sota.

" You can get the window seat again if you want. I thought you would have gotten over this flight excitement. Look how many times we have flown to China on our private jet. I can never understand why you get so excited flying."

" Because its cool Mom, you are so clueless when it comes to these things, but I guess its because you're a girl."

" Maybe it is." She rubbed a hand through his spiky black hair. " Now come on before our flight leaves us."

" I still say we should have taken our private jet."

" I know honey but where would we keep it for two months?"

She turned to Kagome but saw that she was ahead of them. She looked almost serene and perfect in her pink fur hoody with matching boots. Her deep blue denim pants were what offset the pink to make her look great. Her hair was caught up in one at the nape of her neck. And with a little eye shadow and lip-gloss, you would never know the anguish she had inside. She chewed her gum in concentration popping every now and then, just to challenge her mother. When they entered the plane, the pilot bowed and greeted them cordially,

" Mrs. Higurashi and family. It's an honor to have you aboard. This way to you secluded cabin and if there is anything you need help with, just contact me."

" Umm yeah, hold up." Kagome called after him as he walked away. He stopped and turned with an annoyed smile. " Can the seats move?"

" Umm, no."

" Can I sit in normal first class?"

"Well yes, but why would you want to?"

" I just…" She looked at her mother who was obviously becoming embarrassed quickly. " I don't like the feel of in here." The small cabin had white overstuffed leather seating, which ran along the wood-like paneling of the wall. A large screen television sat on the opposite wall and a cocktail table was in the middle. It was beautiful, its just that she couldn't stand to see her mother any more.

" Well, if you wish. Follow me."

Kagome smiled as she followed the captain to the other cabin that had spacious seating and televisions in the back of the facing seats. The upholstering was blue and white, much better than the private cabin. Showing her to an empty seat. He smiled and walked away. Settling herself in the seat, she took out her mp4 player and was about to put the earphones in when a teenaged boy about her age came to sit in the seat next to her,

" No way! Your Kagome Higurashi! You really are beautiful!"

" Shut up! I'm trying to listen to music!"

" Sorry but its really cool to see you in person."

Kagome turned to him. His face was mature but she could tell he wasn't much older than her. His hair was long and in his face shrouding his eyes.

" Is that your seat?" She mentioned to the seat beside hers. They were about 3 ft apart but that was still too close for her.

" Yeah."

" Your assigned seat?"

" Yeah."

" I don't want you beside me."

" What?"

" Go sit over there or something. Keep away from me."

" But—"

" Go!"

She watched him slink off to a seat across the isle. She placed her earphones in and began listening to some Linkin Park. Soon she was asleep.

She woke to the sound of the food being served. The first class menu was Lobster or Roast Duck. She hated seafood. When she got her duck, the hostess innocently asked her,

" Soda or fruit juice?"

She looked up at her surprised,

"What about the Champagne?"

" I'm sorry but you're underage."

" Do I look like I care? I paid good money for this flight, and last time I checked, I'm not driving! So give me what I want. It's the champagne of your job!" She gave her a sickeningly sweet smile. The hostesses proceeded to pour her a stem glass of champagne not bothering to defy her.

" Sorry Miss Higurashi."

" The customer is always right." She smiled conniving. The boy who she had chased away earlier looked at her with a look of shock and disappointment but as far as Kagome was concerned, this was none of his business and he was none of hers.

More than 9 hours later, the pilot announced that they were approaching the Airport and would be landing in 15 minutes. She sighed in relief. She wanted to move about. It was not here first time here but she always disliked the ride over.

The plane landed with ease and Kagome, her mother and Sota were escorted off the plane by a private exit. They got their luggage and left in a rented limo to their house in Montana. The drive was long again, almost 4 hours. All the time Kagome had her music to block out her mother. Behind them trailed three suv's with their luggage and necessary servants. Her mother never went anywhere without them.

" How was the flight Kagome?"

" Eh." She gave her a gruntled reply. She turned her head to the window to discourage any further conversation. It worked.

It was 4:20pm the two days ahead when they arrived, having crossed the time line not once but 3 times. The house was in a suburban area and while it was not as big as her home back in Japan, it was the biggest house to be seen for miles. It was a ranch. The rustic look of the wood provided atmosphere on the outside but the inside was dark stained marble tiles and furniture, complete down to the glossy grand piano. Kagome climbed the marble staircase to a room at the end of the hall way with ' Kagome's room' written affectionate on the door. Only her dad would do this. Maybe her dad did buy the house after all. She slowly opened the door and gasped at what she saw. The oak floor had been polished until she could see herself in it. The large round bed was pink with plush pillows. The room stood bare and airy apart from the bed, a dressing table and two night tables. There was also a wall with mirrors alone. She dropped her bag on the floor and walked to the two doors that were well hidden in the glass. If she hadn't looked closely and seen the crystal doorknobs side by side, she would have missed it. She pulled one of the doors and stumbled back. The lush carpet of the bathroom wall to wall provided a haven. The shower stood isolated in a corner. The glass doors were locked but you could see the inside. The tiles were glossy beige and the showerhead and handles were shone with a gold finish. The opposite wall had a large old-fashioned claw footed tub. It was large enough for her and two persons. The toilet stood in another small room, secluded from the showering facilities.

" This is awesome. Dad really out did him self. I could live here, its almost as good as home."

She went out the door back into the main room. Closing the door behind her, she opened the other door. A walk in closet stood before her, complete with racks, draws, jewelry cases and shelves. The walls were entirely mirrored. Smiling widely she did a spin,

" This is cool. I love it!"

She was not too caught up in her own jubilant celebration to hear her mother come in. She raced out into the main room and stood still at her mother smiling ear to ear,

" Well, do you like it?"

" Its ok. Dad really knew what he was doing when he built this room."

" I helped. When your father died, this room was only half completed. I had to get new plans drawn up to finish this room. The bedroom his entirely his, I modified the closets and the Bathroom."

Kagome felt a bit of hatred rise in her throat, she swallowed it, and her pride.

"Thank you mother, I really like it."

She smiled at her daughter, "Hurry and get together, your new maid will be up shortly to help you unpack. We have to meet the new staff and get ready for dinner. "

" Yes mother."
