Huh, to think this ceremony was only a formality for the human public didn't help at all. The need to absquatulate was immense in the tiny miko. She didn't care she was dressed in a white ceremonial kimono which appeared to weigh more than her. That was but a little obstacle that needed to be overcome.
Why did she agree to this again?
The little miko, now 22, once again moved the flap of the hut she was hiding in to look at Inuyasha. He was tarrying in the appointed place, by now filled with people. His doggy ears were raised and unmoving… how could he be so calm? She had thought he would disappear before the ceremony.
"Miko," the calm, cool and cold voice of her soon-to-be alpha took the breath from her. She stood paralyzed at the doorframe with her right hand over her heart. She couldn't move, "why do you remain in the hut?"
Kagome caught up all the nerves, cells and air that was leaving her and tried her best to collect herself. She was making a fool of herself! She turned to the Taiyoukai, still searching for what to say, but she couldn't help herself.
The Taiyoukai saw as the miko's blue eyes turned towards him. It came as a total surprise when her resolution busticated in front of him. The tears were flowing as rapidly as the rainfall and her fingers trembled spasmodically. His lips parted open in dread, he didn't know what to do. He watched her open and close her mouth periodically as if trying to say something, until his patience ran out, "Miko!"
It did the trick. The woman instantly sobered and her tears stopped. "I—I am scared!"
The Taiyoukai held his forehead with his hand, this couldn't be happening to him. "Do you not want to mate the hanyou?"
The woman nodded her head miserably.
"But you can't walk out," stated the Taiyoukai, trying to understand.
Once again, the miko nodded.
"Is there some way in which this Sesshomaru can help?"
He was thankful when she nodded again.
A few minutes later, the miko was walking outside the hut with eyes only a fading red, and holding his arm for dear life. Why did he have to suffer this indignity? It would be more honorable to carry her screeching form outside than escorting her… this was so preposterous. When had the Proud Demon Lord he had been in the last century been slaughtered?
