***The Next Day, Rivendell***
The next morning Kagome woke up and got dressed in the dress the Arwen had given her to wear in celebration of Gandalf's return.
It was a long strapless floor length black dress made of silk with embroidered green vines wrapping all the way around it.
On her arms she wore black and green forearm bracelets, with matching bracelets on her ankles, visible because the dress had been cut away in the front up a little above her ankles (she's barefoot for anyone that cares ^.^;).

Gliding down the stairs she walked past the stunned members of the fellowship and into the dinning room, chuckling as she heard Winnevera slap Legolas in an attempt to recapture his attention.
Upon reaching the dinning hall Kagome froze, radiating for inside was an enormous amount of energy. Slowly reaching forward Kagome turned the knob to the dinning hall.
Opening the door she was met with the sight of her uncle Elrond laughing along merrily with a tall older looking man, the same man who was radiating all the power.
Kagome smiled this most be Gandalf she thought. Having heard the door open both men turned their attention to Kagome.
"Gandalf" Elrond said as he got up and walked over to put his hand on Kagome's shoulder, "this is my long lost niece that I was telling you about, Kagome."
Kagome nodded her head in a small bow, smiling a kind smile Gandalf politely nodded back. "Your uncle tells me that you poses magical powers," Gandalf said as Kagome took a seat across from him.
Kagome nodded "That I do, though very recently they have significantly increased" she said with a frown.
Elrond nodded gravely "her parents set seals on her holding back her youkai and elven powers, and she has just very recently had them removed."
"Then perhaps I could be of service," said Gandalf, "It is certainly time that I took on a student."
"But…you have never agreed to take on a student before! You have had thousands of talented mages beg you for years, but you have never accepted!!!" Shouted a stunned Frodo stepping into the dinning hall.
Gandalf smiled with a mysterious twinkle in his eye, "and that is precisely while it's time that I did" Gandalf replied, humor evident in his voice.
Kagome surprised that such a powerful wizard would want to take her on as a student - his first student know less – suddenly got a huge grin on her face.
Reaching across the table she placed on of her hands on top of Gandalf's. "Gandalf" she said, "I would be honored to be your student."
(Bet you didn't see that one coming!…well maybe you did…I honestly have no clue -_-')

***Later That Day At Dusk***
Later that day Kagome –still in her black dress- walked through her uncles rose garden as she watched the sun set.
After watching the fading sun set she started to shiver from the lack of the suns warmth. Deciding the she should head back in she was stopped by a soft warmth enveloping her arms and upper shoulders.
Turning around she smiled at Eomer who had just placed his coat over her cold shoulders. "Thank you" Kagome whispered, "It was starting to get a bit cold out here."
Eomer returned her smile "It's my pleasure…would you be willing to take a stroll with me in the gardens?" Kagome chuckled at his hopeful look, "I would love to" she replied.
A few hours later Kagome and Eomer emerged back into the rose garden laughing. They had spent the evening talking about their pasts, and other random subjects. "I can't believe how late it's gotten!" said a shocked Kagome as she looked up at the full moon.
Eomer sadly nodded "me either, though I wish this evening could last longer." Kagome gave him a curious look and her sighed. "Tomorrow I most return to Rohan (lol thanks to everyone that corrected my poor uneducated mind on that), this is only chance that I'm going to get to say goodbye."
Kagome was shocked not to mention disappointed, she had really enjoyed the evening, Eomer was a very easy person to talk to.
Eomer turned so that he was facing her, "Goodbye Kagome, It is my greatest hope that we shall meet again soon." Leaning down Eomer kissed her on the cheek before turning and walking back inside the castle.
Smiling Kagome pulled Eomer's jacket closer together and snuggled into it's warmth. She stopped when she realized that she was in fact in EOMER'S jacket.
"Eomer wait!" she called, "you forgot you jacket!" Eomer standing in the threshold to the palace turned around and smiled. "Keep it" he shouted back before walking into the palace. Kagome smiled again huddled further into it.

***Even Later That Night, Kagome's Chambers***
While lying in bed waiting for sleep to over take her, Kagome thought about the evening she had spent with Eomer.
It's so odd she thought, we've only known each other for two days…yet it feels like we've been good friends forever. Those were Kagome's last thoughts before sleep over took her.
@.@ Kagome's Dream @.@
Kagome found herself standing in her real home (Real parents home) watching a younger version of herself.
Younger Kagome was laughing and running around looking like she was searching for something. "Just you wait!" shouted young Kagome, "I'm going to find you!" Running around she stopped in front of a closet.
"Ah ha!" she shouted, "I can smell you!!!" As she threw open the closet door older Kagome heard a little boy inside moan.
"Aww come on Kagome! That's not fair!" he protested as he stomped out of the closet. Younger Kagome giggled at the expression on his face.
Hearing her giggle the little boy lightened up, "I'm gonna go count" he said as he quickly turned around so that she wouldn't notice that he wasn't still pouting.
Older Kagome gasped as the little boy walked in her direction to start counting. This was know ordinary boy, this was Eomer…and he wasn't human.

- ***Legolas's Chambers, Same Night***
- Legolas rolled over for what seemed like the hundredth time that night. No matter what he did sleep kept evading him.
- Rolling onto his back he stared up at his canopy, the nights events reoccurring in his mind. Thoughts of seeing Eomer kiss Kagome on the cheek, and of the happy look on her face when he gave her his jacket.
- Turning over again onto his stomach, he buried his head into a pillow. "Why does this bother me so much?" he silently asked himself, "I'm engaged for goodness sakes!"
- Closing his eyes he tried to think about his wonderful betrothed, but the only face that came to mind was Kagome's.
- (O.o looks like someone's a smidge jealous)
