Sesshoumaru asks Kagome to leave
Kagome somewhat felt awkward in their presence but she waited for them to speak. When they didn't say anything she said, "Well, I heard that it is your birthday Sesshoumaru-sama. Happy Birthday. And that it is your engagement party tonight. Congratulations both of you." She wanted to sound happy and indifferent. Kagura looked at Sesshoumaru for some support but he ignored her.
So Kagura looked directly at Kagome and spoke in low but distinct voice,"Kagome, as you already know this is our engagement day. But there is a problem I can't marry or mate with him because… because……." She stopped speaking and again looked at Sesshoumaru for help.
This time he didn't ignore her and said to Kagome,"Because she loves Naraku. And I don't like her. "He said these words a bit loudly. Kagome was relieved to hear this and tried to hide the happiness on her face. But Kagura's eyes did not escape the sudden emotional variation that passed on Kagome's beautiful face. She was happy to see this and she made a mental note to say this to Naraku. Both the women were lost in thought about their own love.
Sesshoumaru getting irritated by their behavior said,"Kagome, Kagura would like to have your help to stop this engagement. I don't think you can be of any help though."
Kagome turned to Kagura and said, "But how can I help you? How can I be of any help? What can I do?"
Kagura said," The whole reason of the wedding is Sesshoumaru's mother and my father. Our grand fathers were very good friends. Sesshoumaru's grand father wanted his son to marry my mother. But they were not interested in each other and married their own love. Now my father and Sesshoumaru's mother wants us to get married so that our families will be friends again and also to make our grandfathers' wish to come true." She let out a sigh.
"But still how can I help you? I have no idea", said Kagome and looked at Sesshoumaru. He said, "Neither does me" Both of them turned their heads at Kagura. She had an evil smirk on her face. She looked at Sesshoumaru and then at Kagome and her smile grew wider. Kagome hadn't the least idea what was in her mind. But Sesshoumaru looked as if he knew something.
Sesshoumaru growled at Kagura and said," No way this is going to happen. NO.NO and NO." Kagura said with a smirk still on her face, "Otherwise you will have to marry me. Which one do you think is better? Or do you have any plan more brilliant that mine?"
Sesshoumaru looked from Kagome to Kagura. Then he settled his gaze on Kagome and thought for a while.
Sesshoumaru said, "I agree with you." When he saw a smirk on Kagura's face added, "Only because anything is better than you."
All this while Kagome was listening to what Kagura and Sesshoumaru was saying but couldn't understand a word they were saying. She was beginning to loose her patience and shouted, "Will someone be sensible enough to tell what's going on? I didn't get a word you were saying and now is completely clueless. Someone will have to tell me those plans. Otherwise I might ruin your whole plan without actually knowing what the plan is. Okaay? She said these words more loudly hoping to get some attention and she was successful.
Kagura was about to explain when all of their attention was turned was turned to a small knock on the door. When Sesshoumaru said enter Rin came through the door and said to Kagura,"Kagura-sama is being called by thy mother. Please go and see her."Kagura left with Rin. Now Kagome and Sesshoumaru were left alone. Sesshoumaru opened his mouth to say something then closed it. Both felt a bit nervous being left alone to each other.
After they had enough silent communion, Kagome said, "So Sesshoumaru-sama have you got any ideas what Kagura's plans are?" Sesshoumaru nodded and said, "Yes. Kagome?" Kagome looked up and asked, "Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru? What is it?"Sesshoumaru began to stare at Kagome and she could see sadness in his eyes. He said,"Kagome I ask you to leave and go back to Inuyasha and your friends."
Kagome thinking that she heard him wrong said, "What is it again Lord Sesshoumaru?"He repeated it again and again getting sadder and sadder. Kagome said, "But why do you want me to leave Sesshoumaru? And go to Inuyasha? Why?"
