when kagome arrived at the dining hall she was not surprised to find sesshomarus mother sitting at the head of the table inuyasha and kikyo sat a few seats down. kagome bowed before walking to the table intent on sitting next to kikyo across from inuyasha but sesshomarus mother had other plans.

"priestess come sit here. I wish to talk with you." she said gesturing to the seat to her left.

kagome looked to inuyasha who just shrug his shoulders, and walked to the seat she was told to sit at.

"my where are my manners I am Suki but you may call me Moon mother." suki said with a small smile.

"moon mother." kagome said with a respectful small bow.

"so it is my understanding that you are the priestess that did away with naraku where no other had succeeded." it was more of a statement than a question and kagome eyed her, but before she could answer sesshomaru strolled in and it went mostly unnoted that he paused briefly seeing kagome sitting where she was sitting, before he took his seat across from her.

"mother." he greeted with a small bow of his head.

"oh sesshomaru I was just talkin to kagome here about her success in banishing naraku." suki said with a hidden sly smile.

"indeed." he said and thats all he said on the mater.
