sesshomaru let her explore a bit before walking to a door that's sat in front of the bed and opened it. kagome came over and poked her head inside before taking a few steps into the room, there she found what she could only describe as an indoor man-made hot spring and she was ecstatic.
"this will be your bathing chamber." sesshomaru said slightly amused by her reaction. "come." he said walking to another door by the vanity and sitting area opening it to show a balcony.
kagome smiled as she walked out on the balcony Sesshomaru following.
"so are you going to tell me what is going on." kagome asked leaning against the balcony railing.
"hn, inuyasha is set to be married." sesshomaru said in a bpred tone.
"oh I would have thought they had already married by now." kagome said surprised.
"hn, they would have been if this one's mother hadn't intervened." he said again in a bored tone.
"and why would she do that?" kagome asked confused.
"hnn," he paused seeming to choose his words carefully, "this one refused to mate and conceive an heir so this one's mother decided that if this one would not mate she would seek out this one's honorable father's second born son to take the role of Lord of the Western palace and lands."
"wait what? so let me get this straight you won't mate so you're going to lose your title and lands to inuyasha?" kagome asked shocked.
"hn." was all she got.
"why?" ask asked standing straight now, "why risk losing your title and lands, have you not found anyone."
"this one had not found anyone Worthy of becoming this one's mate, even with this one's mothers efforts." he said eyeing her.
kagome pushed off the balcony railing and walk back into the room sesshomaru following her and he shut the door. kagome then turned to him.
"you said 'had not' does that mean you have found one now?" she asked eyeing him.
"indeed, only recently." he said careful with his words.
