Down the distant road....

Secret past (part 1)

***********Keiji's P.O.V.********

It's been a week since me and kagome had come back from feudal era. I can't stop thinking about my growing attachment towards Sesshomaru. "He doesn't even care that I exist....and here I am thinking only about him. What's wrong with me!!?? Arghhhhh..." I stormed out of my room in frustration.
It's been so many days and I haven't called my parents....I think I should call them today.

I called my parents so many time but their phones were switched off. "Are they so angry with my decision to come Here that they changed their numbers. Naahh this can't be it....they love me so much. It's hard to believe i am missing them. Guess there's always first time for everything."
"What's the matter Keiji??" I snapped out of my thoughts just to see kagome coming towards me.
"Oh it's nothing....wanted to talk to mom and dad but there numbers are switched off. I hope everything is alright."
"When was the last time you talked with them??" Kagome asked.
"Ummmm.....I guess before the last time we went to the feudal era."
"Try their numbers one more time...."
"Ok"
I called my dad's cell phone....this time call went through....
"Hello dad....how are you??"
"Pack your bags immediately." Came a stern voice from the other side.
"What are you saying dad??? Is everything alright?? Why are you so angry??" I tried to keep my voice down....but I was on a verge of bursting. Kagome looked at me with worry.
"It's just been few months and they already want to take away my freedom." I clenched the phone tightly as I thought that.
"Me and your mom are already at the airport. We will be at the shrine in an hour. You better pack your stuff right now." Dad ordered like I was his servant.
"No.."
"What?? You dare disobey your parents. I don't have time for all this. Will talk face to face. Bye." With that dad disconnected the call.
Tears started pouring down from my eyes. I threw the phone away.
"Keiji what's wrong?? Please tell me...please..." Kagome tried to wipe away my tears as she asked.
"They are coming to take me away Kagome."
"Your parents??"
"Yes...I don't know what's wrong with them... They can't stand my freedom. I don't wanna go back...I don't belong there..." I started crying heavily.
"We will talk to your parents. Don't worry Keiji. "Kagome took me inside.

I waited impatiently for an hour. Then there was a knock on the front door. Kagome opened the door.
"Hello...we are mr. And Mrs. Akiyama. I believe our daughter is staying in this house."
It was my dad's voice.
"Oh hello Mr Akiyama...please come in." Kagome escorted them both inside.
"Hello mom and dad." I said slightly bending before them.
"Oh my...it's been so long since we last saw you my dear." My mother came near and hugged me.
I don't know why but I felt like I was suffocating. The thought of me leaving Japan was killing me. I hugged her back.
"Hello there Mr and Mrs Akiyama...it's nice to meet you....I am kagome's mother." Kagome's mom came with some snacks and cold drink.
They told kagome's mother how they got my address from school. And how they were "worried" for me as I was missing so many classes. After an hour or so kagome and her mother went out so that we could talk without hesitation.
"Why are you here?" I asked as soon as kagome and her mom left.
"To take you back..isn't that obvious." Replied my dad bluntly.
"Who said I am going back. I love living here. I don't wanna go." I slammed my fist on the table.
"It's for your own good honey." My mother took my hand in her own.
"What do you know about what's good for me?? Just leave me alone...I don't want to go back." My eyes filled with tears.
"That's enough Keiji. Stop acting like a spoiled brat." My dad said rude as ever.
"But why??? Just tell me why?? Why you want to take me back so badly that you both came here."
"We don't have time to explain everything to you."
"Then I won't go." I stood up and ran to my room.
After few minutes I heard footsteps. someone  knocked on the door.
"May I come in honey?" It was my mom...she asked as softly as she could.
I didn't want to talk to them but i didn't want to hurt my mom's feelings too. I opened the door and sat on my bed with my back facing my mom. Mom came near me and hugged me from behind.
"There's something you should know about your past."
"My past?? I turned around to face my mom.
She held my hands as she spoke "'I think you are ready."
