Chapter 10. A Ball
"Soon, the sacred Shikon no tama will be mine." someone mummbled in a dark and cold voice.
"M'lord, are you sure you can fool the girl?" came a high and sqeeky voice.
"Of course, that stupid wolf is no match for me. I shall have her heart in no time at all." the cold voice spoke again.
Sora awoke Kagome walked into her room. She smiled kindly at her as Kagome returned the smile.
"Sora, hurry and dress yourself in a kimono. We have been summoned by Sesshomaru to attend a ball, that his mate is making him throw." Kagome said in a giggly sort of voice. Sora nodded excitedly as she jumped out of bed. She ran to where she kept her clothing, she mostly had priestess robes, however, in the back was very beautiful and perfect kimono.
She quickly put it on and tied a sash around her waist. She put a cloak on and went to meet her family. Ronin didn't exactly like his new clothing as Kagome was dressed in a plain purple kimono. The sash around her waist is the same color as the kimono.
"Sora, you shouldn't be wearing a cloak. Your even hiding your hair." Kagome complained. Sora smiled at her mothers comment.
"I just want to surprise everyone with how pretty I look later." Sora joked. Inuyasha shook his head as a smile creased his face. They soon left towards Sesshomaru's castle. Sora carried her younger brother as she ran through the forest. Inuyasha was carrying Kagome on his back like always.
They skidded to a halt as Sesshomaru's castle came into sight. It was the same as Sora remembered. Kagome jumped off of Inuyasha's back and stood next to her daughter as she took Ronin from her arms.
They family walked into the castle and found themselves being lead through so many halls until they finally were escorted to meet Sesshomaru. He looked different. He looked happier than usual. Sora felt happy to see him, for some reason, he liked her better than his own brother. Sora instantly ran into her uncles arm as he embraced her lightly.
"Why on earth are you wearing a cloak Sora?" He asked as he released her.
"I want to surprise everyone." she said just as jokingly as she did earlier. Sesshomaru smiled and nodded as he lead his brothers family to the room where the ball would be held. Sora took off her cloak as she stood as perfectly as she could.
Sesshomaru opened the doors and a large hush fell over the crouds of people who were dancing and laughing. The music stopped as people bowed to him politely.
"Thank you all for coming!" He shouted above the crowds. "I would like to introduce, my brother and his family." Sesshomaru yelled as Inuyasha walked in followed by Kagome who held Ronin.
"Now, I wish to introduce my neice to you all." he said as Sora entered. She could hear people whispering about her. Her hands were placed neatly in front of her as her long hair was held up in a Japanese style bun, held with two black sticks. Her kimon has a slit going up to midthy. Her head is cast downwards as she steps next to her uncle. Her kimono is a steelblue color with a giant black dog on the back. The dog and colors simbolize her origon, or that she is from the Western Lands.
"Now, let the ball continue." Sesshomaru yelled as people instantly began to go about what they were earlier. Then she noticed some people she knew in the crowds. Both looked absolutely shocked. Their jaws had dropped and they stood like zombies. Both Kouga and Kaid stood still as they drooled over Sora. Then Sora saw Shippo, standing next to a well dressed and groomed Kite.
She immeadiately ran into the crowds past Kaid and Kouga. They both looked shocked that she didn't stop to so much as say hello. Instead she ran straight to Kite and fell into his arms they gave each other a hug.
"It's good to see you again." Sora said happily. Kite nodded and Sora noticed his cheeks had a blush spread across them. She smiled, maybe he felt something towards her. Either way, she was happy to see him. Her ears twitched as she heard the soft music reaching her ears.
"Dance with me." she said as she grabbed Kite's hand and dragged him towards the dance floor. He tried to protest a little but found it futile. Once on the dance floor Sora put her right hand on his shoulder as Kite put his left on her shoulder. Then they put their hands together. They soon began to move gracefully about. Neither knew how to dance, but apparently they could dance very well.
They didn't notice then, but everyone had moved out of the way as Sora was pun out and then back in. The two seemed to be lost in each others company. Just as the music ended Kite had moved and put Sora into a dip. She looked up and smiled at him as people began to clap around them. Kite pulled her out of the dip gracefully and blushed as she clung onto his arm. The two walked off the dance floor and onto a nearby balcony.
"Kite, how do you feel towards me?" Sora asked lightly. Kite looked at her with a smile spread across his face.
"I can truthfully say, I lo...lo..." he couldn't find the words to finish his sentance. Sora knew what he was about to say and leaned against him while resting her head on his shoulder.
"Me....too." she whispered to him softly. He blushed as Sora heard some people growling behind them. She heard two people running forward.
"Kaid, Kouga, sit." she said as the two people came crashing down into the floor. Both looked up as Sora walked past them with Kite right next to her. She smiled inwardly.
'For some reason, being with Kite, just.... feels right.' she thought.
"Soon, the sacred Shikon no tama will be mine." someone mummbled in a dark and cold voice.
