F.Y.I: Mmm... Probably just young Shippo in this one also, and YAY! Most definitely some Sesshomaru and Rin activity next chapter as Kagome heads West!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ever since Azuma and Aitome had been reunited with their long lost Kagome, Kagome had been thrown into tons of training. Training her kitsune powers, training her miko powers, training for a Lady of the East, and other such stuff. Kagome felt like she was thrown back into school again! Usually she'd be in three different outfits every day, training outfit, miko training outfit, and a heavy silk kimono.
Kagome flopped on the futon in her room. She had gotten the keep the room that she had been given. Kagome now had even more responsibilities that she had ever had with the Shikon! Speaking of which, how was she going to explain she had to go gather those?! "Ugghhh my head hurts." Kagome groaned.
Shippo popped in and skittered over to Kagome's futon. Ever since Kagome was named the lost daughter of the Eastern Lord and Lady, he had become their grandchild and was being showered with all sorts of goodies. His most recent goodie was a new outfit. Aitome had deemed his clothes old and raggedy so he needed new ones. He had instantly been given a blue hoari with dark blue hamaka, much like his old ones, only without the leaves, and a black jacket instead of the fur one, and even a new blue bow for his hair. Azuma had also been training his kitsune powers.
Shippo had learned how to control his Kitsunebi better, he had learn how to make his illusions last longer and how to attack and dodge opponents, just like Kagome had been being taught. Kagome had learned how to fight with a sword, dagger, bow and arrows, staff, her magic, and claws and teeth. Shippo hadn't learned how to handle a dagger or a bow and arrow yet, but had started learning how to use a bokken, staff, and claws and teeth, as well as his magic.
Shippo plopped down on the futon with his okasan. "Okasan you look tired." He said, rolling on his belly.
"That's because I am...If I ever thought school in the future was hard, I was dead wrong! This is much harder." Kagome said, rubbing her forehead with her hand.
"Ojiisan said there's gonna be a ball soon, in honor of finding you again." Shippo stated, watching his okasan.
"What!?" Kagome cried, rising up her head to look at her son. "Great...No wonder why the old bird was pushing me so darn much...Speaking of which her comes Miss Old Crow herself." Kagome snickered, hearing footsteps. Kagome quickly undressed and redressed in a pastel green kimono with leaves on it and tied it with a white obi and dark green obi-jime. Just then the door slid open to reveal Yuuchou, the yoippari youkai.
Yuuchou had large eyes, like the yoippari had. She had a slightly crooked small nose, and a thin lip line for a mouth. She was extremely tall, but slightly round in the middle and had a puffy face. She had a pair of large brown wings that she kept folded behind her, that only would ruffle and move a little. She had brown hair, which was always pinned up in a simple bun ((Don't all etiquette instructors?)) Her large eyes were sharp and she always seemed to be looking down her nose at you. She had given some lessons in etiquette to Shippo, but soon refused to, saying he was a 'Rowdy little hooligan that needed to be taught a little more discipline before she could handle him.'
"Punctuality is expected of those of the court Kagome! You have been late for 10 minutes! Come we must make up the time you missed, that ball is only a few days away!" Yuuchou snapped.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
Kagome stared out the window as Yuuchou went into a long speech about why you should always be silent unless spoken too. Kagome could careless about that lecture, since she had a pretty good sense of when to stay quiet and when to not. Kagome sighed, oh how she wanted to just go outside and play in the gardens. She had never even been asked if she wanted to go out to the gardens, by anyone! Not today, today she would get to go out to those gardens, she was sick of the inside and the boring lessons. Taking a quick glance to see Yuuchou wasn't looking, Kagome slipped out as the yoippari youkai went on with her mindless lecture.
Slipping down the halls, using invisibility, Kagome snuck into the throne room. It was the best place to use to reach the gardens. Making sure none of the guards saw the window doors open, she slipped out onto the balcony.
'Ahhh! Fresh air finally!' Kagome thought as the blast of soothingly cool air rushed into her face as she stepped out. Climbing on the railing she jumped off, and descended into the gardens.
Kagome went through every garden she could find, loving all the sweet smells of the flowers. The last place she visited was the maze that her room overlooked. When she reached the middle she pulled off her socks and sandals and raised her kimono up. She then dipped her feet into the koi pond. She giggled when the koi fish nibbled her toes thinking she might be food. Kagome was happy in the gardens, in sweet serenity. Laying back she pillowed her red head with her hands and stared up into the sky as the clouds blew overhead.
Kagome started to play that cloud looks like with herself when she saw the clouds start to change. The clouds turned gray and thundered and just above Kagome they swirled.
'What the-? That only happens when Sesshomaru's dragon is around...wait a minute! Sesshomaru's dragon!?' Kagome's looked up wide-eyed as the very dragon she was thinking of appeared from the sky. As Kagome started to panic Ah and Un flew down to her and landed.
Kagome looked at the dragon descending with a slight bit of fear, 'What am I gonna do?! Sesshomaru can easily kill me without Inuyasha here! Hey wait a minute! What am I talking about? I've been training and I'm a pretty good fighter, I can at least manage till someone comes out to help me.' Kagome thought, quickly getting up and getting into a defensive stance as the dragon landed. However she relaxed when she saw it was only the dragon.
Ah and Un looked at the young vixen youkai intently, Ah holding an envelope in it's mouth. Kagome saw the envelope and blinked in surprise, "Oh, you're here to deliver a message?" Kagome asked. Ah and Un nodded their heads in response. Kagome walked over to them, and took the envelope from Ah's mouth, petting Ah and Un each on the head while opening the letter.
"Lord Azuma and Lady Aitome, I, Lord Sesshomaru, will attend this ball to see your new heir." Kagome read allowed. "Oh great...just what I need, a visit from Sesshomaru "Hello Sesshomaru, remember me? I'm the girl that use to travel with Inuyasha that you tried to kill! You know, the one that shot you with the arrow?"" Kagome said sarcastically. She looked at Ah and Un, before a little thought popped into her mind. She smiled evilly. "Ah, Un, will you please help me do something for you Lord?" Kagome asked. Ah and Un nodded, liking this vixen youkai that had continuously petted them. Kagome smiled more, "Thank you two! I'll be right back, I'll see if I can do it, you two stay here till I get back okay?" The dragon nodded its two heads to promise they would stay. Kagome hurried back into the castle, rushing to her otousan's study.
Azuma sat in his study reading over some letters from the other Lords when Kagome hurried in. Kagome hurried to his side as Azuma looked up at her from his chair. "Otousan, can I got to the Western Lands to deliver the return message to Lord Sesshomaru's letter?" Kagome asked, smiling at her otousan. "And why my aijou, do you want to do that?" He asked. "Because I sorta somewhat know Lord Sesshomaru...he tried to kill me a couple of times because I was protecting his half brother." She answered. Azuma blinked, "If you want to...go ahead, but be careful!" Her otousan warned, taking the letter from her to read it and quickly answer it. Folding it into a envelope, he handed to Kagome. Kagome smiled and hugged him, "Thank you Otousan! I'll be back soon!" Kagome said, racing out of the study. She snuck up to her room, careful to dodge Yuuchou, who was looking for her now. She quickly told Shippo her plan, who agreed wholeheartedly to join. Grabbing Raijin to take along for the trip back, all three took off back into the garden to the patiently waiting dragon.
Kagome were put Shippo and Raijin (in his small form of course) on Ah and Un, and then herself last, with Shippo and Raijin just in front of her. Ah and Un made sure everyone was set for the flight, then took off into the skies, heading to the Western Lands.
