The Invitation and Reunion
Three weeks later:
Kagome was happy she just got out of the study and when to the gardens to find Rin picking flowers. They had played a while and she had started to get tired so she sat against one of the sakura tree's thinking on her conversation while watching over Rin as she still played. Chasing a butterfly around the flower garden on her right and on her left was a path into a beautiful group of sakura trees in bloom.
The conversation
Sesshoumaru helped Kagome with the worst of the after affects during the three weeks. Because of an incedent with Kagomes powers spiking in her sleep Sesshoumaru also helped her train. Which made her feel alot more comfortable around everyone. Finding out the workings of the castle and what Sesshoumaru does inspired Kagome to want to help. Ending up with her helping out on the huge lode of paper work Sesshoumaru had in his study/records room. It had been several hours going thew them that made Kagome look about the room to take a brake while Sesshoumaru finished a couple more. Finding a row of book and scrolls reminded her of the joke book she had in one of her pockets.
Seeing her look over some of his books as she pulled out a little book from her pocket. Curiousity getting the better of him he asked "What is it?"
"Oh its a book of jokes from my home. Want to hear one?" he nodded his ok. So she started,
"Dirty Birds
A lady approaches her priest and tells him, "Father, I have a problem. I have two female talking parrots, but they only know how to say one thing."
"What do they say?" the priest inquired.
"They only know how to say, 'Hi, we're prostitutes. 'Want to have some fun?'"
"That's terrible!" the priest exclaimed, "but I have a solution to your problem.
Bring your two female parrots over to my house and I will put them with my two male talking parrots whom I taught to pray and read the bible.
My parrots will teach your parrots to stop saying that terrible phrase and your female parrots will learn to praise and worship."
"Thank you!" the woman responded. The next day the woman brings her female parrots to the priest's house.
His two male parrots are holding rosary beads and praying in their cage.
The lady puts her two female parrots in with the male parrots and the female parrots say,"Hi, we're prostitutes, want to have some fun?"
One male parrot looks over at the other male parrot and exclaims, "Put the beads away. Our prayers have been answered!" Laughing at it Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru to see his reaction.
"Kagome whats a prostitute?"Sesshoumaru very well knew what the word ment because of how it was worded but couldn't help asking her anyway.
She blushed and tryed to find the words while looking at her feet "It's a female or male thatt umm..."
Giving her a few more minutes to try to say it Sesshoumaru couldn't help the smile that crossed his usually passive face or the laughing glint in his eyes. "I understand. Don't worry about it."
Kagome looked up from her stairing at her feet and sighed in relief but smiled at the contagious one coming from Sesshoumaru.. 'Score! I made him smile again!' inside her mind she was beaming. "You know you should smile more often…"
"Hmm." Was his reply as he looked at the parchment in his hands one last time then studied Kagome carefully out of the corner of his eye as she came over.
Kagome walked around to his desk to see what he was working on.
"What's this?" Seeing no objection she picked up the parchment and read it.
Beginning of note:
Dear Lord Sesshoumaru of the Western lands,
It has come to my interest to remind you the oncoming of the Western Ball ahead of time so you could get what you need in the amount of one moon's time. Where all the lands gather to get to know each other, and renew alliances every 50 or so years. Also the Lord's of the East, South, and my lands are wondering when you would take a mate. You're going to need a partner for the Ball to. It is said that you have your half brother their and his pack? Why not invite them to the Western Ball? They have done a great help in getting rid of a lot of troubled demon's and should have a chance to learn about the other lords and get their respect in the Demon Council. Lord Kouga is vary fond of Lady Kagome "The Shikon miko" and say's that he has taken claim to her. I doubt it though. She's a lot more powerful then that wolf and she would probably do good for a mate but she would need a stronger one then herself. -hint-
Anyway… Thank you for you time and if you can reply soon.
Sincerely, The Northern Land's
Lord Renjiro
End of Note:
"Wow." Kagome just set the letter on the desk slowly.
The first sentence that Sesshoumaru thought of and said was "Doe's Kouga really have a claim on you Kagome?" She just thought for a moment and looked at his eyes that shown a bit of sadness.
"Of course not Sesshoumaru. I keep on telling him No and it wont get through his thick skull of his. Inuyasha usually kept him away for me. Why do you ask "Lord" Sesshoumaru?" she asked playfully with some of her fire coming back.
He smiled again and stood up holding her hands in front of him.
"This is the reason why I asked. Kagome would you do me the honor of coming to the ball with me?" She was speechless and the only thing she could do was nod her head yes and smile. Sesshoumaru leaned forward and kissed her on the lips passionately.
As Kagome closed her eyes and deepened the kiss putting her arms around his neck and pulling him closer. He bit her lip in response and she moaned tilting her head to the side and opening her mouth a bit more. Sesshoumaru didn't leave the invitation even for a second. Their tongue's battled against one another not giving up. Till Kagome gave in and Sesshoumaru took control…
Her legs felt like jelly and weak from the passion going threw her from his kiss. Sesshoumaru sensing this he wrapped his arms around her waist and then he let go of her mouth as they stared into each others eyes for a moment.
Kagome's thoughts were spinning in circles till she just said something without knowing it. "What was that again Kagome?"
"Would you like me to help decorate your home for the ball?"
He smirked "Our home."
Kagome blushed. "Remember you can live here for as long as you want and since you are you can call it our home. Plus Rin likes you as if you were her mother."
"You really think so?!" she asked with hope shining in her eyes.
"Yes. Would you rather have Jaken take care of her?" he raised an eyebrow at her.
"Good heavens, No! He's lost her several times before and she has almost died because of that. I'm going to take care of her is that all right?" she asked as he smiled "Of course."
Just when Kagome was about to leave Sesshoumaru spoke again "I'll see you at dinner Kagome." It was more like a question then a statement.
"Is that a date Lord Sesshoumaru?" Kagome grinned.
"Maybe." He said before going back to work now that he had something to write back to the Northern Lord.
Out in the gardens again
Rin got bored of chasing the butterfly and went to Kagome. Sitting in her lap Kagome started humming softly till Rin fell asleep and soon afterwards Kagome did to.
That is how Sesshoumaru found them. His heart melted at the sight of them in the sakura tree garden. Sighing though because it was dinner time and he needed to wake them… Till he got a mischievous smirk on how to wake her and Rin up for it. He leaned forward and whispered something in Kagome's ear "Kagome if you don't wake up you won't be allowed to take a bath for two weeks." and she shot up in an instant waking up Rin.
"What was that for!?" she half yelled at him.
"I was just trying to wake you up!" he answered defending himself. Surprised that he answered back like that Kagome got off the ground and picked Rin up and held her on her hip.
Smiling at him she replied "Okay Lets go! Ano Sesshoumaru I'm sorry for yelling." Their was brief worry in her eyes till he grabbed one of her hands and smiled at her.
They walked to the same doors as before and into the main dinning room. This time Rin sat in Kagome's lap trying to braid her hair. Every time she got to the end of it, their would be a big hole in the middle. Sesshoumaru watched this with mild amusement as his ward kept trying several times till Kagome showed her. The maids came in and set the dinner on the table. Once the smell of the food came to Kagome's nose she was almost drooling. 'Man I haven't eaten much since yesterday!' she looked hungrily at Sesshoumaru till he took a bite. And digging in she was trying not to look rude or without manners; but she was so hungry.
Out of the corner of his eyes he watched her eat. His inu was completely bewildered
How in the world is she doing that so fast?
'Lol don't know'
She noticed his staring and was about to speak when Tachi walked in nervously "Hey… Sesshoumaru?" the two other people behind him were looking around. When they spotted Rin the boys ran to her "Rin! How have you been?" they said at the say time.
Kagome wrapped her arms around Rin protectively, almost growling at the boys.
Sesshoumaru and Tachi just stared at her in surprise as the boys took a step back toward Tachi.
"Um… as I was going to say earlier… Kagome, Sesshoumaru this is Ken'ichi." (Means Strong First son) He pointed to the boy on the right with short black hair and green eyes. The same black star and blue stripes on their cheeks graced both the boys just as Tachi's. "And the one on the left is Sheridan. They are my sons that dropped by to say hello." (Sheridan means Untamed) Sheridan had the same hair color as Tachi's, with silver eyes that looked toward Kagome with questions.
"I all ready know them Tachi." Sesshoumaru's annoyed voice almost echoed through the room as he shook his head.
"Oh… All well at lease Lady Kagome knows now!" Shining a bright smile at said Kagome and pushing Ken'ichi and Sheridan toward her. "Well boy's. This is Lady Kagome. You know the Shikon miko?"
They smiled and each held out a hand.
Ken'ichi looked at his brother for a second then back at Kagome "Nice to meet you."
Sheridan hesitated as Kagome let go of Rin and stood up. "Lady Kagome could… could we play out in the back garden with Rin?"
Kagome couldn't help it they looked adorable with their puppy dog eyes looking at her. "Okay boys on one condition."
"What is it?!"
She laughed lightly "Just call me Kagome Okay."
"Thanks Kagome!" Sheridan grabbed Rin's hand and they ran to the door with Ken'ichi behind them.
Just then Jaken burst through the door not paying attention to anyone, and told him his message bowing deeply "Lord Sesshoumaru please forgive me for this intrusion from this lowly servant. There is a Neko youkai, Kitsune, Monk and a female demon slayer at the gate asking for you. They say that if you don't come to them they will break the gates and come to you."
She knew who those people were! "That's Kirara, Shippo, Miroku, and Sango!" She whispered then ran out of the dinning room faster then Sesshoumaru would of thought and ran the rest of the way to the front gates. Tachi looked at Sesshoumaru "Should I?"
"I'll be right back Tachi. You go ahead and watch over the pups." Then he ran out the door after her. Kagome's heart and miko power showing her the way making her glow blue. "Open the gates." Kagome ordered the guards.
One of them turned toward her "I'm sorry Lady Kagome but you don't have the authorization to do that." Her friends that were at the gate heard that and all turned to her. "Kagome?!" they all yelled. Sango was near in tears with Shippo in her arms, Kirara meowed moving forward but being pushed back from one of the guards. Making Kagome growl and her powers rise "I said "Open the gates Now."
The guards were now scared shitless they have never seen anyone this powerful beside their lord. When said lord walked up behind Kagome and nodding to them with permition they opened the gates right away.
She looked even more beautiful then before. Kagome being angry and glowing like that. Sesshoumaru had a hard time calming his beast that wanted to come out and say hello to her in the way it wouldn't be appropriate. Instead he just walked up and wrapped his arms around the miko from behind. Telling her how he felt and calming her down with his jaki just by touch. Kagome turned her head toward Sesshoumaru confusion evident in her eyes as she calmed down. She felt him behind her and the comfort that he was giving her with a burning need near her that was starting to make her body react in a way she didn't understand. To add to it the guards wouldn't open the gate for her to meet her friends. Sesshoumaru let go and moved from her to have room right when they opened the gate and her friends came running in.
The kitsune jumped and hugged her neck,
"Mom where have you been?"
Sango had latched herself to Kagome's body almost making her fall back wards. Kagome laughed hugging them both and petting Kirara who had started licking her face in her smaller form. Miroku waited for his turn since a vary powerful demon lord was staring at him intentionally. Making him a little uncomfortable he stared back at him for a moment then bowed showing respect. "Lord Sesshoumaru."
Sango froze in that spot and put Kagome behind her and looked at the demon Lord eyeing him suspiciously. "Sango it's okay. Really! He helped me…" Kagome put her hand on her shoulder.
She thought for a moment and relaxed knowing that if she was here this whole time and taken care of her sister she could trust him. Nodding once at Kagome, she turned to Sesshoumaru and bowed "Thank you Lord Sesshoumaru for taking care of Kagome. By the way have you seen Inuyasha?"
Kagome stiffened and had this glossy glaze to her eyes. Shippo shook her shoulder "Mom? Mom are you okay?" her friends stared at her confusion and worry evident in their eyes.
Sesshoumaru went strait to her and held her not caring if the others saw. Shippo hoped to Sango's shoulder with his mouth agape and his eyes all bug eyed. When Sesshoumaru started to make a sound similar to a cat purring the others did the same as Shippo. Sesshoumaru ignored them and brought Kagome into the living room and sat down with her in his arms as she just turned around and wrapped her arms around his waist putting her face in his shirt shaking slightly. "Sesshoumaru where is he?"
He didn't want to answered or lie to her so he told her the truth "I have him in the dungeons with food and water and a couple of my guards near by"
She was afraid that he would come after her "But how did he get here?" her voice was wavering.
He shook his head and the others just walked into the room and sat around the two.
Lol. What are they going to do? Ask a million questions or just let it go? Is Inuyasha going to find out about the last shard?
What am I going to do with all these questions? Get another headack on top of the one I have now –shrugs- all well. I'm feeling a lot better if you're wondering but I think I might have another cold –sweat drop- I am so getting tired of getting sick. Plus I might just go for my GED instead of waste three of my years at high school.
-looks around room- man I need to clean it. Heh heh sorry it took so long.
Sincerely,
InuLuna of the Moon
