With You.

A/N: I know it's not Monday.

"So what do you want today? Didn't you already say what you needed to say yesterday?" She glanced back at him briefly before returning her gaze to her papers. So much more had yet to be accomplished and there were only a few hours to go.
"Have you spoken to him yet?"
"To who?" She made a sharp turn to the left and scanned the crowd as she walked.
"Sesshomaru-dono."
"Oh, about what?"
Han turned to face her as his long strides kept up with her quickened steps. "I take it you haven't. Do you understand the asperity of your situation? The higher court will never agree with this. They have dark intentions but the Lady cannot act upon them without valid reasoning, it makes them dangerous."
"Really, why not? She's the lady isn't she?" Her quick steps slowed and she scribbled onto a sheet as they neared a roundabout in a crowded sector.
"Yes. But Lady Kimiyo cannot act unless the majority of the current court agrees with her. Very few do but frankly I don't believe that their choice is made of their own volition."
"What do you mean?" She came to a standstill before a small hut that was void of a matted entrance. She held up her hand before he spoke and ordered him to wait outside.
She reappeared with a heavy wooden crate that she unapologetically thrust into his arms. "So you were saying…"
"..."
She urged him on with a quick look before she returned her full attention to her parchment and dutifully jotted things down. "It's not very complex. There are rumors of the former court whom still live that tend to have private meetings with the Lady. They are with her as a small source of feedback though their thoughts and opinions aren't as heavily weighed as before. They are mere whispers to the exclamations they once were."
They made their way towards another sector as Han slowed his monologue. "Well I don't get it. How is that so dangerous? You have just stated that what they say is not so important."
Han nodded. "Well the thing is, in the Inu clan, your position in court is hereditary."
"Why? Sesshomaru's rule to the throne isn't hereditary. Though technically there's no doubt that he'll be Lord he still has to show to the court that he is the strongest heir. That's the only reason why he's not on the throne yet but he has fulfilled all of the other requirements. He might as well already be Lord."
"Yes, of course, but it is just easier to ensure. The firstborn is usually the one to take on court duties. Another child can still be part of the court if the firstborn refuses and another decides to take on their role. The thing is I have heard that many of the higher nobles seek to take the throne for themselves. They often do this by using their kin to voice their thoughts.
They are held with high preference and are all well known. I would be careful. I don't have folks to tell me what to do other than Lady Kimiyo so I don't know what is fact and what is fiction but I know enough to say you're not safe."
"I can take care of myself."
"I doubt it is enough."
"Guess we'll just have to wait and see."
A comfortable silence enveloped them before minutes later Kagome turned to him with an armload of ribbons. "So are you with us or against us?"
She quirked a brow just as she raised her arms. "With you, of course. Lady Kimiyo seems to like the idea." With that said she dumped the ribbons in his arms and turned around again as she filed through her diminishing stack of stationary. "Good."
A/N: I like how I am getting things out of the way so quickly. Also I hope you're satisfied with how I managed to 'Keep it coming.' LoveBattle you really like to say tht!
You know I have to say I have six of these ready so I was wondering about making it two drabbles a week? What do you think? I'm sure I could keep this up.
Do Mondays and Thursdays sound good to anybody?!
AP Psych seems like it's already gonna kick my butt. We did a little game yesterday to see a few misconceptions of Psychology and we had to guess wat was true or false and guess what not ONLY was my TEACHER trying to TRICK me but every SINGLE answer I wrote down was WRONG! He IGNORED MY GLARES AND EVERYHTING! He laughed instead… now next class I have to come up with a good enough debate to explain to him why I feel that there is no such thing as a fine line between insanity and genius. IT IS THE SAME THING I TELL YOU! Him and his technicalities.
I am putting up a poll and I will see if I have any support. I'll show him, madmen/women are GENIUSES!
That we are… that we freaking are!
