To Taint A Pure Soul

by Kira Hatake

There are two sides to every soul a tainted black side and a pure white side. Kagome is the purest being alive but after the well is destroyed in a battle and she can no longer return to her family in the future. Then the betrayal of those she called her friends and family from the past. Stranded with no one to turn to will the darkness that resides in every soul overcome our dear

XXXIV.

The two weeks that Kagome, Megumi, Sakura, and Sango had to plan the ball had come and gone quickly. Sesshomaru told Kagome to spend as much as she needed to prepare everything the way she wanted. She had even had dresses designed for her and the females of her pack that resembled clothing from the future more than clothing from the time she was in now.

Sesshomaru had not been idle either he had been contacting any and all magically beings that where indebt to the West. He had found three that could help him with what he wanted to do a witch, a dark miko, and a dragon demon sorcerer. His mating gift to Kagome would be one she would not soon forget. He was not allowed to see the decorations that Kagome had set up nor was he allowed to see the dresses that Kagome had made. She did however at least tell him the colors of her dress at his request.

The lords and ladies of the other three lands where to arrive on this day as well as some of their court members. Kagome however had to remain in her rooms along with the rest of the new members of the Western pack. They would be presented at the ball Lady Sakura had decided to stay with them as Sesshomaru greeted their guests. With the arrival of each royal family they asked where Lady Sakura was and Sesshomaru told them she was preparing for the ball later that night.

When the time arrived for the ball all the lords and ladies complemented Sesshomaru on the decorations of their rooms as well as the ball room.

Sesshomaru inclined his head, "This Sesshomaru appreciates your complements but my mate to be was the one that chose how everything would look this evening."

The Northern Lord chuckled, "I should say Lord Sesshomaru I cannot wait to meet the lovely Lady that has captured your attention."

The others nodded in agreement and Sesshomaru smirked. He was pleased with how everything turned out. Kagome and the others had done a wonderful job. The ball room had been decorated with silk cloth streams all across the ceiling intertwining the colors of all of the houses together. He had been told that each wing had been decorated with the colors of each of the lands. Kagome had also placed them in the wing that coincided with the lands they ruled over. He could not wait to see what the new ladies of his pack would wear as well as what Rin and his mother would be dressed in. His mating gift was safe in a separate room waiting to be presented to Kagome.
