Hello. I hope you enjoyed the latest chapter. I am sorry for the mistakes. I am in the process of rewriting the previous chapters. I failed to check for errors. Please forgive my mistakes. This chapter is less dramatic I hope that is not a problem.
The blue eyed half blood felt her breath escape her. Was that the reason? Was that the reason he left her? For a simple human! Kagome's reiki flared harshly before she turned and stormed out of the room. Her anger making her appearance change slightly. Her eyes becoming paler, almost white. Her hair took on a navy colour. She growled as she marched into the woods. Her dress burning away slowly as her kami powers pushed out. The branches cut her face and arms but the cuts healed in seconds only to be replaced by more cuts. Kagome stopped and tossed her heels into a pond she was near. Then she continued on. She walked for what felt like hours, but in reality it was only 10 minutes. Finally she came to a halt at the base of a large tree. She looked up into the dark night sky before sliding to the ground, dirtying the remains of her gown. She pulled her knees toward her chest, leaning into her tree, and took a deep breath.
'That was...' Her thoughts stopped as tears formed in her eyes. The image of her Shesshomaru with that snake on his arm was embarrassing and painful. How could he? After all they had been through in the time they'd known each other. He knew her biggest weakness and he used it! Kagome took a deep breath and pulled her small dagger from her clutch. She threw it across the clearing. It stuck into the lip of the well that was a few yards away. Shesshomaru had given her that knife 20 years after they met. Kagome looked at her aging, yet strong tree. Both inu brothers had been pinned to this tree. A spiteful and angry youkai hime was enraged because Shesshomaru refused to mate her, then when she turned to the halfbreed he refused her. She hired a dark miko by the name of Tsubaki to help kill the boys. But Tsubaki was in love with inuyasha so she fooled the girl, she cursed two arrows and shot the inu boys when they tried to attack. The curse put them in an enternal deep sleep.
Kagome stood and pressed her hands to the two holes in the tree. It was a stretch, her middle fingers barely making it to each hole. She remembered the way their eyes fluttered open as she removed their curse and arrows. She remembered the way warm honey eyes filled with confusion and pale golden ones filled with annoyance and hate. She remembered the way his hand grabbed her throat, sending chills down her spine, she watched his eyes widen. She remembered the way dog ears twitched at the daiyoiukai growled. She remembered the way Naraku pulled her to him roughly and how cold her neck felt without his touch. She remembered his deep voice hitting her ears and his brother's rougher and higher voice coming in at the same some. Both made her freeze. She remembered them. She missed them.
"Kagome."
She was pulled from her thoughts as strong arms wrapped around her waist. The smell of sage and lavender hit her nose. She turned quickly to look into the deep blue eyes of Bankotsu. His face was full of worry his eyes the colour of comfort. He wanted her to unload her burnden upon him. She sighed. She missed him.
"I am fine. Just needed some air. " She added a forced smile that she hoped looked real. By the look on her friend's face she could tell it didn't.
"Right. That is why your dress is burned almost to nothing and you are half naked in the woods hugging a tree.." His sarcasm was very clear. She noted how crazy she must have looked.
"Well I am fi-"
"I know what happens when you almost lose control of yourself. The kami half of you was about to break out. I am half god as well you know" Bankotsu interrupted her as he shrugged out of his suit jacket and handed to her. She gratefully took it and put it on. It was very large on her. Coming mid thigh and covering her hands like her kimonos used to. Kagome looked at Bankotsu. His eyes flashed grey, he has seen him, with her. He understood.
"Come. Let's get you a new gown. Unless you wish to go home?" Bankotsu offered his arm to the girl.
"Home please. Akio will understand." Kagome took his arm and in a flash they were in the home that Kagome and Shesshomaru shared. The one bedroom was dark and vancant. The scent of Kagome's earlier tears stained the air. A fresher scent was there. Only an hour old at most. It was Shesshomaru. Kagome looked at Bankotsu. He smelt him as well.

Shesshomaru huffed as the woman clung to his arm. Why was she so clingy?
Kagome was never like th-
He stopped himself. He didn't need to think of her. He had done the right thing. He had made her life better. Yet he still couldn't shake the feeling that he had messed up. Maybe it was the flare of he power, which had caused the entire room to fall silent. Or maybe it was because he hadn't seen her at the ball, perched by his cousin as he had expected. Or maybe his heart was still soft for the woman.
Shesshomaru was dragged out of his thoughts as he was approached by his alpha and some of his pack. Touga stopped in front of his middle child. Inuyasha to his right and Akio to his left. Touga spoke first.
"Son, may we have a word?" He said, but it was not a question. "Alone" he added when he noted the snake on his arm. The demoness hissed but walked away.
"What is it father?" Shesshomaru asked as he watched the snake cling onto another male. His eyes uninterested he looked at his alpha.
"You know damn well what this is about Shesshomaru." Inuyasha growled. "What the hell was that? What happen to you and Kagome?"
"Nothing. I grew bored with her." He stated. Touga could smell the lie but ignored it.
"Oh what a shame. So she is up for grabs? Good. Father call of this mating. I want to court Kagome." Akio said with such authority that Touga was too proud to be upset. He looked toward the imp that was to follow him.
"You heard him." He stated and sent the kappa running to get the paperwork. The three ignored the growl that came from Shesshomaru.
"Oi! What if I wanted to court her?!" Inuyasha hissed. His oldest brother turned to face him, a smirk upon his delicate face.
"Then you would do best to stay out of my way, and work hard. I will not go easy on you." Akio promised his baby brother. The two boys shook hands and Touga grinned.
"I will enjoy this show." He said. He looked up and noticed Shesshomaru was gone. He watched as he disappeared out of the room.
'It is for your own good son. You have to learn. ' Touga thought as he turned back to his other sons. The two boys were now boasting about how they would woo the kami half blood into being with them, and whom would be the better mate.
"We're both half bloods so I will understand her more." Inuyasha stated. Touga wondered when his son became so observant.
"Well she and I have many things in common. And her personality balances mine. We would never have a routine." Akio smiled as his brother frowned at him. He enjoyed picking at his baby brother.
"Boys you should get out of here so I can get this over with" Touga interrupted. His sons looked at him in confusion before realization filled their eyes.. The boys left quickly but quietly out of the back door.
Touga smiled and walked away.
'This will be a very entertaining thing to watch. I shall inform my mates. But first I have to get this announcement out of the way. Lord Rey is going to be most upset. "
Touga took a deep breath and took the stage. The band stopped playing.
"My fellow guests. I bring some interesting news tonight. It has been almost 3000 years since something like this has happened." He took a deep breath and looked into the crowd. Lord Rey and his daughter stood next to each other proudly. "Akio has called off the mating. "
The room was silent for a long moment. The a feral growl erupted from the back of the room. Lord Rey stood with his eyes bleeding green. His breast taking over. He looked at Touga. His eyes filled with hatred. How dare this dog embarrass his daughter like that. He wanted his head.
Without a thought the dragon charged at The Western lord.
