Recap:

"You have wonderful taste," Lord Takeda complimented.

"Thank you my lord," she gave a small nod and gestured to the table. "Please, have a seat."

This time:

Sesshomaru and his father took their seats on one side of the table while Kagome sat on the other side. A maid came on and placed a tray with tea in the center of the table before bowing and leaving.

"I hope tea is alright," Kagome proceeded to pour tea for Lord Takeda, Sesshomaru and then herself.

"It is quite alright," Lord Takeda assured her with a small smile.

"You must excuse my behavior before. I was just not used to yakuza lords walking into my room saying I was to mate their son."

"I found it quite amusing," he chuckled a bit and sipped his tea.

"Father, can we please speed this up?" Sesshomaruasked in a bored tone.

Kagome's eyes flashed before her mask covered it. This did not go unnoticed by Sesshomaru. 'So the wench has a mask as well. Though her's is not like mine. She shows emotion, just not what she really feels.' He was impressed, her mask was as perfect as his.

"I agree," Sesshomaru was brought out of his musings as his father began to explain the reason for the alliance.

"There is a hanyou threat running rampant through the lands. He's been recruiting demons and humans alike to form a rebel group against major yakuza leaders."

"I assume you mean us?" Kagome already knew of the threat. Her father had appointed her the task of finding and destroying the threat, but she wasn't going to say anything.

"To put it bluntly, yes," Lord Takeda's face become hard. "We believe he's planning to mate the Eastern hime by force in order to control her lands. He's already killed the elder brother," Takeda (I'm tired of writing Lord) closed his eyes, "We also believe that he will come after you when he is finished with the East Yakuza."

Kagome's face became as emotionless as Sesshomaru's, "He's killed Lord Aori? (That's the Eastern prince)" she sighed and continued, " Soyokaze is being gaurded I presume?" at their nods she said, "She will be moved here. With me."

"That's not possible. If she were here, it would be all to easy for Naraku to get you both."

"Well you see, the northern heiress will be disappearing for a while. Only Tannyo will know her whereabouts," she smirked at their expressions, well Lord Takeda's anyway. "Tennyo is the best assassin in the yakuza underworld, therefore she is the best equipped to protect Soyokaze."

"Won't she know who you are?"

"No, I will be in my human form."

"I suppose that would work," Takeda sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose where he felt a headache beginning to blossom.

"Well if that is all, Sango will escort you out," a woman wearing a demon slaying outfit from the feudal era came in.

"If I remember correctly," Takeda's lips began to turn up into a smile, "we came here to arrange your mating," he was know full out smiling.

'Damn, I thought he would forget." Kagome thought angrily in her head. "It must have slipped my mind," she forced a smile. With her demon hearing, she could her Sango snort and sent her a glare.

Sesshomaru, who had been silent throughout the entire conversation spoke, "Why must she mate me? Can't she just choose her own mate and mate him?"

"If only it were that simple. We need her to make you to form a strong alliance between the North and West Territories," Takeda paused, "Didn't I already explain this?"

"Is their any other way? Can't we just sign a treaty or something?" Kagome was beginning to get desperate. 'Say yes. Say yes. Say yes,' she chanted over and over again in her head.

"I'm afraid not. We need a strong alliance that will not be broken."

"I apologize, but I wish to speak to my father and mother about this," she stood and bowed her head. "Please allow Sango to escort you out," she turned and stopped next to Sango. "Come back here when you have lead them out," she whispered before opening the doors to the balcony and stepping out.

"This way my lords," Sango led them out of the room and to the entrance hall where their driver was waiting. She nodded to the driver signaling that she was no longer responsible for them. She watched as they left then walked back to the room. "Spill it," she said to Kagome who was looking at the moon.
