Sesshomaru's Request

Chapter Nineteen

Sesshomaru walked up to the king and queen. He bowed and kneeled before them. His mother and father were very excited behind him. He cleared his throat and closed his eyes.

"I, Sesshomaru, son of the lord of the West, ask for permission to have your daughter's, Kagome, daughter of the lord of the North, hand in marriage."

'Please just say yes. Please just say yes.' There was an eerie silence throughout the room. Everyone held there breath. You could hear a pin drop if anyone dared to try. Inuyasha and the others just stared. Suddenly he heard someone gasp as if the words had just sunken in. He looked around but could find no one who caused the sound then looked back at the king. Kagome's father spoke up.

"I, Lord of the North grant your request and wish you a happy marriage."

Everyone cheered. Sesshomaru was about to walk up the stairs when he caught the scent of jasmine and lilies. Why didn't he notice it before? He stared back into the room. He didn't see her anywhere. He was about to turn and leave again when she revealed herself.
From behind the curtains came Kagome. She had a huge smile upon her face. She had no veil and was wearing a new dress. She heard everything. Sesshomaru stood there with his emotionless face on. It immediately dispersed as Kagome jumped upon him. Everyone in the room blushed at her actions. They were even more surprised when she came from behind the curtain.

Earlier

Kagome was lying in bed beginning to stir. When she awoke she saw her mother and her friends staring down at her. They all smiled. Kagome looked at her mother. She hadn't the veil on and was wondering what she would do. Her mother smiled and expected what her daughter was going to say. She leaned down and whispered to Kagome.

"Hurry downstairs honey. Your father has summoned Sesshomaru there I shall be there as well but hurry up now. Hide behind the curtain on the left and do not wear your veil."

Kagome looked at her with confusion. Her mother just nodded and left. When she arrived there she slipped behind the curtain. She looked around everyone was there and they were all so tense. She scanned the room and found Sesshomaru. She watched as Sesshomaru walked and kneeled before her parents. She listened to his words. It took her quite a while to register those words in her head. 'Permission.........Kagome.........marriage............' When they did register she gasped then clasped her hand over her mouth. He had asked her father. What would he say? Of course he had already asked her but this was different. She closed her eyes and just waited for her father's answer. When she heard she had to force herself not to scream in happiness. She saw Sesshomaru begin to walk away then revealed herself from behind the curtain.

Now

Sesshomaru had a bewildered face on. Kagome's mother and Sesshomaru's mother both chuckled at this. He looked at them with a shocked face.

"We told Kagome to go behind the curtain."

"Why?"

"Well your mother told me that you would not be able to catch Kagome's scent if she was behind there and we felt that Kagome should be here."
Sesshomaru smiled. Kagome was leaning her head on his shoulder and he pulled her closer to him. Everyone in the room turned a dark shade of red except the couple who seemed oblivious to what was happening around them. Inuyasha covered Shippo's eyes who protested. Finally Miroku decided to speak.

"Err, perhaps this isn't my place but hehehehe, perhaps you guys should get a room?"

Then they realized what everyone was talking about and they blushed crimson red. Sesshomaru quickly let go of Kagome. He turned towards their parents and said thank you and left the room with Kagome. Kagome had never been so happy in her life. She looked up at her love and whispered, "You have made me so happy." He smiled at her; she had fallen asleep. 'You don't know how happy you have made me.' They walked up the stairs and into their room.

She was like an angel. She looked so peaceful even through all that has happened. He tucked a strand of hair behind and kissed her. He lay next to her and fell into a peaceful sleep. That night, everyone slept soundly. Everyone had been avenged as well. Sango had avenged her family and comrades. She had found Kohaku later after the battle. Miroku's wind tunnel disappeared thus ending the family curse. They also went to sleep in excitement.

The wedding was going to be in two weeks. There was much to be done. They had to get a dress, create and send the invitations, make a speech, and such. The next to weeks were going to be very busy. Luckily, Sesshomaru and Kagome were able to handle the pressure. Poor Sesshomaru however had to wait at least two weeks before he could see Kagome again. There parents had insisted that they would not see each other 'til the wedding day.

Sesshomaru watched as people paced back and forth in circles. He sighed and closed his eyes and tried to picture Kagome. He smiled. 'This had better be worth the wait.' With that, he walked over to the gardens to get some fresh air. There he met Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha sparring against one another. They greeted him and he was on his way.

And that was what he did about the whole two weeks. He would walk around and pretend to inspect things. Everyone knew that all he was thinking about was Kagome. Some would laugh and say that he was a love struck fool. Others would think that it was highly romantic. He, however, just thought about Kagome. He chuckled at himself. He was indeed a love struck romantic fool.
