Chapter 1: The Courting
Kagome rushed to put on the beautiful kimono that lay in front of her. The kimono was nearly half-century old and yet it still looked new. It was white, it had cherry blossoms imprinted on it, and the obi was a deep red, so deep it looked like blood. The beautiful silk kimono had been passed down the Higurashi family for several generations, worn by the daughters who had their first courtship. It remained a symbol for two families joining in matrimony and now it was Kagome's turn to be courted.
As she fumbled with the obi her mom called her from the stairs. "Kagome, Kagome hurry up your lord is here and you should not keep him waiting" "Mother I know that but can you come here and help me." Kagome called.
Kagome's mother entered the room and looked at her daughter who was not only having problems with her obi but also her hair. "Kagome, what will I do with you. You are making an important man wait and not only that but you cannot tie your own obi. What husband would want a wife who cannot tie her obi" she scolded. "I'm sorry but it's so long, and I don't see why I can't wear my normal kimono with the chrysanthemums." She protested as her mother fixed the belt. "You very well know that this kimono has been worn by every woman in our family to mark the day of their first courting and you also know that I too have worn this when I met your father you shouldn't complain it is an honor to wear this kimono and also it is very unladylike to complain!" she said sternly.
Mrs. Higurashi finished tying the obi and began to comb the girl's hair with a golden comb with a dragonfly on it. She then proceeded (quickly I might add) to tie up the hair with the comb. "Now hurry up downstairs you shouldn't keep your lord's family waiting or they will find it disrespectful." As she left the room she replied respectfully "Yes mother"
As Kagome walked down the stairs her "lord" stood up and approached her. He was tall and very handsome. He had long silver hair and wore a white kimono and haori and on top of that he wore a type of armor and sword on his right. On his forehead was a blue crescent moon that immediately caught the attention of anyone who faced him because they knew right away who he was-the heir to the Western Lands, Lord Sesshomaru.
As he approached her, Kagome, as if it were instinct she bowed before him. He looked at his new lady and thought to himself what the girl had to offer as his bride. She on the other hand thought about how she would impress him and his family enough for them to accept her.
After several minutes of quietude and her still bowed in front of him, Sesshomaru simply took the girl's chin and lifted it to look in his eyes he then swept her up in his arms (as her parents looked on) and took her to his castle where many things awaited including her impression on his family and his family's impression on her.
