Remember, Kagome is going to be referred as Hatori.

One more thing, when I put something between these two: '' It means sign language or body language. Maybe even Morse code.

"Milord?" Rin asked, peeping her head into Hatori's (Kagome's) room.

Hatori, who was sitting in the middle of his room, looked up. "Oh no! Please, call me Hatori! I don't like being called so formally, it makes me feel old!"

Rin giggled at his loud reclamation of age-feelings, "Of course, Rin will do so!"

Kagome grinned behind her mask, she might not be a motherly form for the girl… but a brotherly form would do.

"Anyway, Rin-kun…" Before Hatori could finish, Rin cut him short.

"No! No! Not Rin-kun, Rin-chan. Rin likes it better."

Hatori beamed at her through the mask, "Well then! I'll be Tori-kun!"

Both smiled, the room seemingly lit up. "Somehow, we seemed to have led off the topic once more, Rin-chan!" Hatori said, putting his gloved hand to the side of his mask to show his mock distress.

Rin giggled before bowing, "It's dinner time, Tori-kun!"

A loud, mysterious rumble – that seemed to be coming from Hatori's stomach – was heard through out the room.

"It seems my tummy approves the invitation!" Hatori chuckled, patting his flat, muscled abdomen.

Rin laughed in agreement, "Will you accompany me to get the rest of the Ladies? Some are really mean…"

Hatori nodded, talking Rin's small, ten-year-old hand with his own. "Sure thing, Rin-chan." You could hear Hatori's smile in his voice.

'.'

"They send some child and a man to escort me to dinner?!" A woman yelled, clearly not liking the idea of a little girl and one man being the only ones to take her to the dinning room.

"Please, ma'am. My Lord will be there to pull out your chair and help you be seated. He could not accompany us to escort you. If it is under your expectations, we will bring the whole army for you." Hatori said mildly, but his voice had an edge to it.

Rin nodded vigorously, and then stopped. It would be virtually impossible to bring in the whole army, but she took notice of Hatori's fists clenching and unclenching, it was clear he was a bit ticked off.

The woman did not stop her wailing, "Oh! Not just the whole army! The whole kingdom must escort me! I am the most important person in the universe!"

Unknown to them, Inuyasha had heard them bickering, and was currently hiding in the shadows, watching Hatori closely.

Finally, the anger that the woman had caused rose from Hatori. "If you find it unsatisfactory, I suggest you leave. We have no time for your bitchy attitude. Get yourself a bastard that will tolerate you." He said, his tone frozen and laced in disgust. It was clear he would throw the woman out the window if he got the chance. (Ooh! BURN!)

The woman, ironically named Mesuinu (A/N: Which means 'bitch/bitchy'. I have NO idea if her parent predicted her attitude!), got rather close to accidentally chocking herself with her own saliva from shock.

Hatori took a step back, and slammed the sliding door in Mesuinu's nose. "Come, Rin-chan! We must get more people!" He said cheerfully, taking hold of Rin's had, dragging her along as he pranced down the hall.

Inuyasha came out from the shadows. "Well, it seems that annoying women also get on Hatori's nerves. I like the guy even more!" He chuckled evilly, twisting his hands to show he was scheming.

His maniac laughter filled the halls, booming throughout the entire castle.

'.'

Not far away, in the dinning room, Sesshomaru looked up from the scrolls he had been currently reading. He sighed, rubbing his temples.

"I hate that laugh."

'.'

Hatori barreled through the dinning room doors, scaring the Ladies and Sesshomaru to almost the underworld.

"BOO!" Hatori yelled happily, succeeding in frightening more than half the population of royals in the room.

Rin came in a second later, joining in the 'boo' just in time.

Sesshomaru raised an eye brown, his expression rather odd, for he had half a shrimp in his mouth. "Waf if gouin on?" He asked, forgetting the majestic composure he was supposed to keep. Although, the only person that noticed the disarray in his cool was Hatori.

"Oh, nothing My Lord. Just playing games." Hatori said, clasping his hands behind his back, but swinging side to side to show he was still hyper.

Rin nodded after once more, grinning widely. Letting Sesshomaru know that she was equally high.

Once having gulped the shrimp did Sesshomaru continue, "Please, you have frightened most of the Ladies, must you do that?"

Hatori smirked behind his mask, the smugness practically rolling off him in waves. Even from the other end of the long, rectangular table, Sesshomaru could feel the satisfaction Hatori was pooling.

"I was merely having fun, My Lord. Plus, all the other guards want to do is fight! They're sweaty and smelly too…" Hatori trailed off, making a thinking pose, clearly having much fun playing around with Sesshomaru.

"They are practicing, Hatori-san. They must be ready for anything. Don't you do that in your own kingdom?"

Kikyo flinched, thinking that Kagome would not be able to answer that question, for she did not know that Kagome was outside more that seventy percent of her day.

"Oh, well… we don't get many outside problems. And most of our knights have been trained since birth. So, you might say, we have one of the best human armies."

Sesshomaru's eye brows rose, Hatori had just made a very smart statement. Instead of 'the best' he had said 'one of the best', as if not to insult the other human Ladies. All the while, he said 'human armies', cleverly replacing 'armies', for it would have insulted him. This was once smart talker.

Hatori grinned, then plopped himself down on an empty seat, patting the one next to him to gesture Rin down. "Come, Rin-chan! Come!"he said to Rin, then to Sesshomaru with a more serious voice, "May we eat with you and the Ladies, My Lord?"

Sesshomaru's eye brows got too close to his hair line, this guy was like a woman! Cheerful then, totally serious the next! He accidentally allowed the right side of his lip to twitch at the desire to smile. Hatori caught it, and smiled once more, the room grew truly bright.

Kikyo rolled her eyes, looking very disgusted. Some women flirted with men in their true sex, but Kagome flirted as a man. Did that sound wrong? I do believe it did…

Hatori sent a glance to Kikyo, "My Lady, are you unsatisfied by something?" His voice was smooth, soothing, and pleasing to the ear. The Ladies closest to him and Kikyo swooned, almost no male had such a sweet, chocolate-like voice. With his head cocked to the side, Hatori looked related to chocolate. A dark chocolate… rather sexy, don't you think?

"Mister…" One of the Ladies began.

"Higurashi, milady. Or, as most prefer, Hatori." Hatori answered pleasantly, his voice still sensual to the women's ears.

The Lady blushed, stammering with her sentence.

Meanwhile, at the head of the table, Sesshomaru observed with genuine curiosity. Hatori was literally ridding him of all the Ladies that would not be faithful. Although Sesshomaru was going to kill her, unfaithfulness among mates was highly disapproving and dishonorable. He nodded in thanks, Hatori noticed so, and made a hands signal.

It read: 'No problem, My Lord. These women are not fit for you anyway.'

Sesshomaru answered in a look that said: 'Oh? And you sister is?'

Hatori, whist still being a ladies man, signaled back: 'Oh, no! Not that, My Lord! I am not THAT dishonorable! It would be cheating to take out all the Ladies! Plus… I'd be stuck with many suitors… no thank you!'

Sesshomaru inwardly chuckled, and then he called for the servants. "Let us dine!"

'.'

Kagome stood on her balcony, mask off, and her face caressed by the soft breeze. She smiled, her hair, which had been tied up in a pony-tail most of the day, was down; currently being played with by the wind. She still wore the uniform she was supposed to wear, but it wasn't all tied and tight as before.

Unknown to her, Sesshomaru was also on his own balcony, checking the windows and making sure all the lights were off. His eyes landed on the raving beauty that was smiling into the night.

Unfortunately, the darkness covered her outfit and half of her face. He gazed at her face; her sweet grey eyes twinkled in the dark. She suddenly looked up at him, and waved enthusiastically.

He raised his hand a bit, and waved at her softly. She smiled up at him, then turned heel, walking into her room. She looked back at him once more, her hair magnificently waving behind her.

Then, without any hesitation, she walked into her room.

I don't know who she is…

'.'

Sesshomaru stood on the center of the stage; all the Ladies looked up at him hopefully, just waiting for him to speak.

Once they were all seated, Sesshomaru spoke. "Today, I will test the strength of your guards. I do not need weak men to protect my mate; thus, they shall fight against themselves. The last ten in the competition will stay, the rest shall be sent home."

The Ladies then proceeded to glare at their guards; who were currently looking at one another, and smirking arrogantly.

Kikyo looked at her sister, and glared a warning. 'Do not lose!'

Hatori shifted a bit, looking up from his book and at Kikyo through his mask. 'Fuck off.'

Kikyo glared at him more heatedly, and then she flicked her hair, totally ignoring him.

Hatori smirked; he had just won the battle! He stopped mentally cheering for his victory; putting away his book he listened to Sesshomaru once more.

"Warriors, place you name on a piece of paper, and put it in this box."

Every male proceeded to do so. Once every one of the guards placed it within the box, Sesshomaru spoke, "This is how it will work: I will draw out two names, those two will fight. Then I shall place the winning name back into the box, Rin will shuffle the papers, then I will draw out two names once more. All who do not win will leave by tomorrow morning. Ladies… I hope you didn't unpack."

A lot of the maid groaned as some Ladies looked away sheepishly. In my opinion, the Ladies should pack by themselves, but Sesshomaru had to be courteous or else the plan wouldn't work; so he sent the respective maids to their assigned rooms.

Then, turning back to his audience, he stuck his hand into the box.

"Sazukaro Akira vs. Toriyama Sasuke." He announced to the crowd.

The battle on-stage did not last long, Sasuke was the victor. Sesshomaru tried desperately not to burst out laughing at how pathetic the fight was.

"Lady Keesha, you're dismissed." Sesshomaru said, putting his hand in the box again.

It continued on like this for quite some time. Until a certain name was called.

"Kazama Gohan vs. Higurashi Hatori." Sesshomaru said loudly, his anticipation was subdued, but still clear in his voice.

Hatori walked forward, and bowed to Gohan politely. Gohan grunted and got down to his fighting stance.

Hatori straightened, but did not fall into position. Instead, he lazily stretched, not caring what Gohan did.

He looks totally nonchalant, but there are no openings in his guard at all… Gohan thought, looking over Hatori as he finished his stretches and smiled at him. He even took out a book to show how uninterested he was.

"Well? Come on." Hatori said, not even looking up from his book.

He's so thin and unfed, but there's something imposing about 'im. Gohan thought warily.

"Alright, you asked for it!" Gohan yelled, charging forward madly.

That would have made a pretty good bull-charge had Hatori not pivoted. And while he flipped a page, he raised his leg, and delivered a round-house kick to the back of Gohan's head.

Hatori let out a giggle as he read, clearly not even taking the fight seriously. Even the guards that stood at the door (Sesshomaru's army men) straightened to watch Hatori totally dismantle Gohan without glancing away from what seemed to be a very interesting book.

Gohan stood once more, charging toward Hatori again. Sending a punch right at Hatori's face, Gohan thought he really had nailed him.

But, without even blinking, Hatori ducked and passed between Gohan's legs. Before anyone else could blink; Hatori had a small dagger prodding Gohan's back.

"Showing your back so many times is very poor fighting." Hatori said simply, the fight was over.

Sesshomaru stared at Hatori. Had he been trying to prove something by reading that book? Then again, Rin had reported having seen Hatori reading that book earlier that morning.

Kikyo stared at Kagome's retreating back, how could she be so strong? Then again, she didn't know her sister very well.

"Lady Kikyo is on hold." Sesshomaru declared, his voice didn't sound impressed, but his eyes let off a bit of shock as he watched Hatori walk back to stand beside Kikyo.

Sesshomaru's eyes twinkled, this gets even more interesting…

'.'

Hatori came out through the crystal doors, whistling. Sango struggled to keep up with his long, lazy strides.

"You're going way too far into this character." She muttered, half-walking, half-trotting.

Hatori gave her a side-ways smile through his mask, "What character, Sango-chan?"

"I hate you." She snarled, whacking him up-side the head with her tan hand.

All Hatori did was laugh at her, then run away while she chased him.

"Come back here, teme!" (Teme – Bastard.)

But all he did was laugh harder at the situation he had placed her. The palace guards watched them in curiosity and shock. Could a guy like this really beat someone up so easily?

When Hatori scurried up a tree like the devil was behind him, they shook their heads. Nah…

'.'

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to break that branch!"

"Yeah, right! Just like you didn't mean for it to smack my head!"

Hatori got down to his knees, a mad Sango was just plain scary. A royally pissed-off Sango was frightening and freakishly strong to boot!

Damn adrenalin…

"Fine…" Sango muttered, giving Hatori one last hit on the head as a way to take a bit of her dignity back.

Hatori smiled behind his mask, rubbing the back of his head to ease the pain.

"Oi! Oi! Want to go race?" Hatori offered, desperately wanting to visit his lovely mare.

Sango smiled, she got to see her brother, "Sure!"

'.'

"Sango-chan! Sit up straight!" A voice cut through Sesshomaru's open window.

"Shut up you wuss!" The woman addressed as 'Sango' retorted.

"Someone's mad!" A younger voice cooed.

"I'll get you for that, you brat!" Sango screamed.

Thundering hooves chased human foot steps, Sesshomaru sighed. Can't he do paper work?

He sighed once more, and walked toward his window. He made movement to close it, but the spectacle outside stopped him and made him stare.

Hatori was riding a black-white mare; he had just swooped up a boy that had been running from the servant girl that was chasing after him on her black and maroon horse.

"Teme! Put him down so I can get him!" The servant, Sango, snarled loudly; declaring war against the laughing Hatori for not siding with her.

"You can kill him! He takes care of the horses! He's useful!" Hatori chuckled back over his shoulder to the fuming girl. The boy in his arms protested at the thought of 'just being a stable-boy' to Hatori.

Hatori laughed happily looking down to the yelling boy in his arms, "Come, come. We'll find you your horse!"

Sango growled, annoyed, "None other than your horse or a demonic horse can beat my Temari!"

Hatori chortled joyously, "Don't be so sure, Sango-chan! And sit up straight!"

Sango roared and charged, her horse, Temari, merrily obeying her angry master.

Hatori's mare, Anko, reared up happily. Ready to clash with Sango's black and maroon war horse.

Just as the horse reached one another, Hatori squeezed her horse's ribs; sending Anko a silent message.

'Jump'

Anko shot up, totally clearing Sango's shorter and stubbier horse without any problems at all.

Sango glared over her shoulder; that was a new trick! She veered her horse around violently. Temari reared up to switch sides smoothly, and twisted in mid air to change her body's direction.

Sesshomaru, one of the many awe spectators, watched with delighted eyes. He had never seen anything like this before. He knew who was going to be one of the last women in his castle. Lady Kikyo's knights and servants were truly amazing.

Outside, Sango had finally calmed down. They were playing a game, happily prancing with their equally happy horses.

Kohaku had joined the fun, riding his cute chestnut horse along with his sister and Hatori.

They chanted in unison while their horses snorted in the same rhythmic beat. This must be a game they played often. Hatori shouted and all horses raced to the center of the formed circle. They side-stepped, creating a horse-made, three-point star. They turned their horses back around and headed to make the circle again.

Sango shouted this time, a different command, and they made a totally different position.

In no time, Sesshomaru heard Kohaku shout, his own order ringing in the field. They took a complete change of formation.

They chanted together once again, but in this round, the orders and shouts came faster, and closer to one another. This made a sort of dance, the prancing horses stepping and creating difficult patters and formations with their moving bodies.

Soon, Kohaku could not keep up and he fell behind.

Sango and Hatori laughed and continued to make a spectacular show. Even some Ladies had come out to watch the two make strange and difficult shapes with their well-trained horses.

Sesshomaru felt an urge, the need to play along.

Abandoned paperwork flew at the simple caress of the playful wind. The Lord had disappeared.

'.'

Inuyasha was bored. So bored, he was pacing in his own room, trying to find something entertaining. The commotion outside snagged his attention as he passed the window.

Many males, Sesshomaru, Miroku, Kohaku, Koga, and other of Sesshomaru's soldiers, were prancing on their horses in a circle.

The very recognizable Hatori and a servant girl he didn't know were on their own mares, conducting and explaining some sort of game.

Inuyasha listened in to the rules of the game.

"Basically, we chant a poem, the more the players, the more commands. Each player has a command assigned to them, and some commands can be repeated. We go anti-clockwise around the circle. Each person can shout their command when they please during the poem as long as it is their turn. You must obey the order and do it as fast as you can." Hatori explained, "If you are to fall behind, or to stop, you are out. The more rounds we play, the more times you get to unexpectedly shout the command."

The servant girl explained the rest, "He who cannot keep up will slow everyone down the person behind the slow one may go around the slow moving and continue on. You may not pass someone on purpose, and if you notice you horse is falling behind, get out of the circle. You may only over-pass during circle formation, so if you try to circle around the one up front, and a command is shouted, you're also out. So be careful!"

Hatori took up the lead again, "It sound boring, but it is in fact a game to see if you can follow instructions well and if your horse wants to cooperate."

All the males nodded, the game sounded boring, but it was like any contest they'd ever been in.

Hatori nodded and began to point out the orders.

The game began with Kohaku shouting out the order trot in place.

For most horses, that is down right impossible. But since Hatori, Sango, Kohaku, Koga, and Sesshomaru had to take some special lessons for war; they were able to succeed the task and move on to the next one.

Fifteen of the players where thrown out from the circle.

Inuyasha, from his window, chuckled at them. How unfortunate…

He continued to watch as they conducted and moved their stallions faster and faster as the game got harder. Soon, Koga, Kohaku, and Sango were over run by the competitive Sesshomaru, and a happily whistling Hatori.

Anko, who was used to the hard work of this game, snorted according to the tune her master was whipping out. Sesshomaru noticed this and growled softly to his own horse, then shouted out his order.

In a speedy exchange, they had run across from each other, and before Sesshomaru could do anything else, Hatori had yelled out his own order.

They continued to do this until Anko, since she was a normal horse, could not last any longer.

The instant her horse began to falter, Hatori stepped back. Bowing to the winner, he beamed at him.

"Congratulations, Shesshomaru-dono!"

Sesshomaru smirked arrogantly, wiping the sweat off his face in a tiered manner.

Although Sesshomaru-san is, in fact, a taiyoukai, trotting for over an hour can tire anyone out easily. Trust me one that.

Moving on to more important things, if you think this story is an important thing, we'll see to what little Inuyasha says.

"Whoa…" He muttered, clearly shocked at what the two talented males could do.

He turned around and shot out his door, he wanted to play too! Unfortunately, he crashed into someone as he turned a corner.

"Watch where you're going, flea-bag." Kikyo said coldly, shoving him off of her in a heartbeat.

Inuyasha scowled at her angrily, "Don't touch me, bitch." He snarled at her.

They stared at one another before each of them 'hmp'ing and circling each other to get to their destination.

Unknown to both parties, Kami-sama was grinning like a Cheshire cat at this unexpected meeting. Our beloved and mysterious ruler was seriously thinking about putting these two drama-queens together into a pair! It was the most brilliant idea he had had in eons! He remembered the last time he had such an idea, when he created Earth. He shrugged, not really concerned, this couldn't be THAT much of a disaster!

As if, God-boy, you'll be shocked at how those two end up!

Anyway, let's tear our eyes off Kami-sama/Cupid and continue with this nut-job story.

Hatori was walking along with Koga and Sesshomaru, having left her friends behind to 'warrior-talk' with these two demons.

Koga changed the topic from war, to women. I have no idea how that happened. After all, all war and women have in common is the letter 'w'. What a drastic topic switch.

Koga kept blabbering on and on about what he wanted in a woman, and what he would like her tit and ass size to be, making Hatori really uncomfortable. Why? They were his sizes.

Sesshomaru noticed the posture Hatori was walking in and decided to cut in Koga's ranting.

"Sush, ookami. We don't want to know all the nasty details." Sesshomaru said coolly, not even loosing his usual posture.

Hatori gave him a thankful smile, and then turned to Koga. "Are you sure you aren't being too picky?" He said, adjusting the large sword he carried on his back.

Koga grinned, "I got that all covered! See, Lady Kikyo has the sizes I just mentioned, except her tits are way smaller. But get this! When I passed by her castle, I saw the most beautiful woman I had ever seen! Her chest was tightly held by her chest plate, but she wore no shirt, and she only wore spandex pants. She and the Sango girl were fencing together. Boy, was she hot!"

Hatori began to sweat a bit. "Koga-san, I'm afraid that there is no one in my Ladies castle that looks like her. Except for me. There are no others. Plus, only I am allowed to practice fencing with the youkai taijiya."

Koga froze, "What did you just call, Sango?"

Hatori handed him a hidden feral grin, "She's just like me."

This chapter is a few pages shorter than the last one, but I have no more ideas that can continue it now, so I'll let it rest for a bit.

Forgive my tardiness, and I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as you enjoyed the last one!

sessluver- I feel like a queen thank to you! Remember, I'm human; I'll get a big head if you keep complimenting me like that! Yep, Sesshomaru is beginning to take some notice of her feminine features, but I still have a few chapters to go before I decide to allow Sesshomaru to notice she's a woman or to see her face. Still some more time to go. In fact, I think I'll let him know she's a woman in about four chapters. Hopefully he'll notice that she walks more like a cat than a dog!
