Sessy woke almost startled due to something moving next to him. Once he opened his eyes he saw Kagome sleeping with her head on his chest.
I don't think I can ever get used to the fact of sleeping with someone, but I think I can as long as it is with Kagome. He thought to himself.
He gently kissed her on the top of her head and whispered, "Get some sleep my little Miko." Then he slowly got out of bed so he didn't disturb her slumber. He changed into his royal attire then headed out of the secret room into his office.
"Ah Lord Sesshomaru you are looking much better!" Jaken almost yelled.
"Jaken if you wake the Miko this Sesshomaru will be very displeased with you."
Jaken looked at him then at the door then back at Sesshomaru, "Lady Kagome is in there, " He pointed at the secret room, "She slept with you."
Sesshomaru sat at his desk then looked at the toad with a stern look, "Do not make this into what it isn't Jaken. I simply asked if she not leave my side last night and she didn't. We talked then slept and quite honestly I think that is the best rest this Sesshomaru has gotten in a long time."
Jaken opened his mouth in shock.
"Jaken please explain why you are in my office then dismiss yourself."
"Uh...oh! Lord Sesshomaru I came to inform you that there is word of your mother coming."
Sesshomaru froze then looked up at the toad, "I am just hearing this now!"
"Well... Lord Sesshomaru I just found out and rushed here to tell you. I am sorry Lord Sesshomaru I didn't get here fast enough." Jaken was scared of Lord Sesshomaru stepping on him again.
Sesshomaru sighed, "It is alright Jaken. Please send maids to get her room ready and call Mika in here please."
Jaken was surprised by his Lords reaction and couldn't help but to notice a change in him. "Yes my Lord."
Shortly after Jaken left Mika came into his office.
"My Lord you summoned me?"
"Yes Mika, it seems that my mother is coming to visit. I would like for you to dress Lady Kagome and her guests in the proper entire."
"Sure thing my Lord." She turned to head out.
"Oh and Mika..." He called to her.
"Yes my Lord..."
"Thank you."
Mika bowed to him, "Your welcome my Lord." She turned and exited the room with a smile. Seems my Lady Kagome is rubbing off on our Lord,She thought to herself.
Sesshomaru got some work before he decided to go wake Kagome up. He didn't know how far his mother was and wanted Kagome to be prepared for her arrival.
Once he got into the secret room he stood next to her watching her sleep. Kami she is so beautiful.
"Sessy I thought we discussed this...your stalkerish tendencies are not healthy." She giggled.
"I am sorry."
"It's okay." She giggled some more as she rose up from the cot. "How did you sleep?"
He walked over to her slowly, "Great thanks to you but Kagome I need to talk to you about something."
"o-okay", she was a little worried on what it was.
"My mother is coming to court."
"okay?" She looked at him questioningly.
"Here...My mother is coming here and she only shows herself when she is up to something. I thought I should warn you about her arrival and well about her. She can be very hard to handle sometimes and that is putting it nicely."
Kagome stood up then walked towards him, "It is sweet for you to worry about me Sessy but I can take care of myself."
"You say that now little stubborn Miko but you will be begging me to make her leave soon enough, but luckily for you her attention will be focused on someone else."
Kagome walked up to him, "She isn't mean to you is she Sessy?"
Sesshomaru laughed, "No she isn't but she won't like the fact the Inuyasha is in what once was my father and her's home."
"Oh...I didn't even think about that. What are we going to do?"
"It will be okay Kagome she will just have to get over it like I have."
Kagome sighed, "Okay but if she crosses the line and I not refrain myself from saying something."
Sesshomaru laughed again, "I know you will." He kissed the top for her head, "Now go get ready, Mika is waiting for you and the other girls."
Kagome was about to turn and walk away until Sesshomaru grabbed her arm and pulled her close, "I will be wanting some alone time with you later Lady Kagome."
Kagome giggled, "I am sure all you have to do is command it Lord Sesshomaru and it will be done." She bowed then ran out the door before he could stop her.
On her way to her room she ran into Shi, "Good morning Shi."
He smiled at her, "Good morning my Lady Kagome." He looked at what she was wearing then quickly untied his cap and wrapped it around her, "Lady Kagome what on earth are you wearing."
"Not you too Shi, agh this is what women in my time wear and trust me when I say this is one of the modest ones."
He looked at her, "Lady Kagome way I suggest you not wear them here in this time or at least wear a robe over it if you leave your chambers. People will not like this attire and it will give you a bad name."
Kagome looked up at her friend, "You are right Shi I will get myself a robe."
"Good."
They walked in silence until she reached her room, "Shi could you do me a favor and retrieve Sango and Rin for me."
Shi bowed, "Yes Lady Kagome."
Kagome walked into her room and was immediately assaulted by hugs from Mika, "Oh Lady Kagome I have been waiting for, I have great news for you." She pulled Kagome to the bed.
"Yes Mika what is it?"
"Well there is a lot of gossiping around the castle lately. Of course there are some bad ones but that is mostly because people question why you are really here, especially because your friends with Inuyasha. But mostly people are talking about yesterday's events. They are impressed with how you handled the situation and how you defended our Lord. Some are even saying that you would make a good Queen."
Kagome gasped, "They cannot possibly think that."
"Lady Kagome I too think that. Your powerful, your beautiful, your compassionate, your wise, and you hold a lot of knowledge. Plus you are starting to rub off on our Lord." Mika then smiled and winked at Kagome.
"How so?"
"He said thank you to me this morning."
The girls looked at each other then started to laugh.
"Did he really!?"
"Yes and it didn't look like someone killed him to say it."
They continued you laugh until they heard a knock on the door. Mika looked at Kagome, Kagome nodded her approval, and then Mika rose from the bed, "Enter."
Both Sango, Rin, and Shi stepped through the door.
"Lady Kagome is there anything else you request of me." Shi said.
"No Shi, thank you."
He nodded, "I will be right outside your door if you need me." Then he walked back out.
"Okay ladies lets get you looking like princesses." Mika

Hours passed before the girls were actually done.
Little Rin wore a pink kimono that had sowed cherry blossoms along the side of it. Her hair was pulled up in a tide bun and had some actual cherry blossoms in the bun.
Sango wore a red satin kimono with a black layering underneath. You could see the black through the slit on the leg and at her chest area. The kimono also had floral black pattern woven into the red satin. Her hair was pulled back into a bun to but her bangs were left out so they hung over her forehead.
Kagome wore a light blue satin kimono with a dark blue layering underneath and had a gold stash across her stomach area that tied into a bow in the back. The light blue layer had light yellow wisterias with light green leaves. Her hair put in a braid that sided to the right and fell over her right shoulder, the braid and a vine with golden flowers in it, her bangs hung over her forehead, and she had a freestanding strand of hair on the left side of her face.
"You girls look absolutely beautiful!"
They girls smiled then looked at each other.
Kagome walked up to Mika, "Thank you!"
There was a knock on the door and Kagome and Mika followed the same routine and Shi stepped through the door but lost his train of thought when he saw Kagome.
"Yes shi?" She looked at him.
"Lady Kagome you look...you look..."
"Like a Queen." Mika spoke up for him."
"I wish you would stop that Mika, I am not a Queen."
"You might be soon if yours and Sesshomaru's relationship keeps on the track it is." Sango said as she laughed.
"She does have a point." Mika spoke after her.
"Yeah I agree with the Ladies." Shi said.
"Okay if you all are done ganging up on me, I believe you came in here to tell me something Shi."
"Oh yes Lord Sesshomaru has asked for your presence in the great room, Lady Akemi has arrived.
