Chapter 6: The Ball
Kagome kept thinking about everything that had happen. 'I still can't believe she would do all this for me. Why? No one has ever been this nice to me except Sesshomaru.' Kagome was snapped out of her thoughts as the carriage pulled up in front of the castle.
Kagome stepped out of the carriage and looked around. The guards at the door just stared at her beauty. They had never seen anyone so beautiful. Kagome turned and headed up the stairs. The guards bowed to her and welcomed her into the ball. Kagome was getting stares from everyone in the palace. No one recognized who she was due to the beauty and the mask she wore. Kagome felt like she was walking on water and smiled to herself.
Sesshomaru was talking to some of the men at the ball when he felt a new presence at the ball. He turned to see who had just walked in and stopped in searching when he saw the most beautiful girl walk down the steps. He kept staring at her. 'Who is this strange woman. She is so beautiful. Mother help me. Is she the one? The one I seek.' Sesshomaru was snapped out of his thoughts when she walked up to him and bowed. "My lord." Sesshomaru bowed back to her.
Kagome went to turn and head away, but was stopped when he lightly grabbed her hand. The music started playing and Kagome looked back at Sesshomaru. "May I have this dance my lady?" Kagome smiled with a little blush on her cheeks. "Yes my lord you may." Sesshomaru took Kagome out to the floor and turned to her and grabbed her hands and started to dance. He looked into her eyes and saw the mysterious blue that he saw in Kagome's eyes. 'She is the one. I know it.' They continued to dance and the whole time nether one took their eyes away from each other.
Kagome look Sesshomaru deep into his eyes. 'I wonder if he realizes it is me. Gods let this night go well for me.' Kagome enjoyed being swing around in the arms of the man she loved so much.
Little did Kagome know two eyes stayed glued to her the whole time she was there. "Mother can you believe this woman. I mean she thinks she is all that because she is better dressed and prettier then everyone else in here." "Calm yourself Kikyou. You will be better then her I promise you. You already have high advantages. Besides there is something very funny going on here tonight and it started when she walked in."
Kagome knew that her stepmother and sister where here, but didn't want to think on it for this night was special. They twirled and flew across the floor like to perfect lovers. The music slowed down to a stop and the couples bowed to each other. Sesshomaru took Kagome's hand and lead her out the door into the kingdom garden.
Sesshomaru turned and looked into Kagome's eyes. He was lost by the beauty of the like he had Kagome's. "Who are you? Why do you hide from me?" Kagome turn and looked away. "I don't know if I can sow you my face. I am afraid of what you shall see." Kagome walked a few feet away. Sesshomaru grab her arm lightly and turned her to him. "I care not what you look like." He reached up and removed her mask to reveal a beautiful face of glory.
Kagome turned around to hide herself. Sesshomaru reach his arms around her shoulders and held her. He bent inward and whispered into her ear. "Kagome you need not hide from me. You are so beautiful and not even the gods could make me choose any other girl other than you." Kagome turned around and looked up at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru pulled back some hair out of her face and lightly stroked her cheek. Kagome leaned into his hand and smiled softly. He lightly tilted her head up and kissed her lips lightly. Kagome about melt in the spot she stood. He lightly licked her lips asking to enter and slowly she opened her mouth and let him enter her mouth taking in the sweet taste.
Kagome lightly moaned as they continued to kiss. Nothing was more pleasant or better then the one she loves kissing her. Sesshomaru thoughts left him and all he could think about was Kagome and her sent.
Sesshomaru stopped the kiss and looked at Kagome. The beauty she holds was so breath taking that he didn't realize someone was watching him or her. Quickly the spy ran back into the castle. Kagome smiled and looked away. Sesshomaru grab her chin and turned her head back to face him. He was fixing to giver her another kiss when a nasty voice was heard.
"You nasty bitch. I thought I told you, you couldn't come because servant didn't belong to royal balls." Sesshomaru turned on his heals and saw Kagome's step mother coming towards her. "Who are you and how dare you say such foul words to her in front of me." "I have every right. I am her stepmother. She is my servant." Sesshomaru turned and looked back at Kagome who was looking at the ground. "Kagome is this true." Kagome shook her head 'yes'. "How could you have lied to me so many times? I trusted you." Sesshomaru's parents came out and heard the commotion.
Sesshomaru turned and left leaving Kagome there by herself. Sesshomaru turned around at one point and looked at her. "You might want to leave and not return." He turned back around and continued to his room. Sesshomaru's mother saw what happened and was not happy with her son. Kagome walked away silently without a word but could hear her stepsister and Inuyasha making fun of her.
As Kagome walked down the stairs she didn't know that one of her slippers came off. All she could do was cry. Her heart had been broken and was now looked upon as a dirty wench. She hurried home and got undress and hid the dress and everything else. She started doing some stuff around the house trying to forget the night events that had happened and only how it could have been great.
Sesshomaru came down when the party was over. Sesshomaru's father looked at him and saw nothing but the same cold expression as always. "I will go with who you want me to." With that Sesshomaru turned around and started to leave, when his father stopped him. "You did a good thing to night by telling her to leave and never return. You will make a good lord after all. I mean we don't need servant blood running thought the family line." Sesshomaru glared at his father and left with out another word.
