This is just a filler chapter! It was written to explain the next chapter. If you don't like it, tough! It's my birthday and I'm taking a break! So shut up!

SesshoMaru sat in the confines of his study. The chair creaked when he shifted his weight. He stared angrily at the document before him. It was a letter from the neighboring lords. A reminder that he was to host the lords ball that year. He hated the balls, he always had to bring some random whore of a lady with him just to attend. And if he didn't attend, he would lose his land. He silently growled to himself as he ordered Jaken to prepare for the event. It was less than a week away. After Jaken left, he sat in silence until a knock came from the door.
"Come in."
"You wanted to see me SesshoMaru?"
"Yes, I need to ask you something."
"Well, what is it?"
"Karappo, would you be my escort for the lords ball?"
"I guess but do I have to act all happy and stuff?"
"No, I never do."
"Ok, then yes I would be ok with being your escort."
"I owe you one."
"Why?"
"If you hadn't said yes, I would have been stuck with a whore of a princess."
"That's not very good."
"No. it's not."
"When is the ball?"
"In five days. After the ball we will leave to kill Naraku and Inuyasha."
"That's good. Who all will be there?"
"The other lords. Lord Nenpai of the North and his wife, Lord Fuukieiga of the East and his escort, Lord Koga of the South and whom ever he brings along."
"If Koga's there, then he'll bring who ever he is traveling with."
"Are you saying..?"
"Yes, Inuyasha and my friends will be there!"
"That's not good."
"No kidding! What will I do? Inuyasha will probably try to kill me!"
"Killing is not aloud at the ball, only fighting."
"Inuyasha doesn't follow the rules."
"I am aware of that, that is why I doubled the guard. If he moves toward you, they will stop him."
"Good, I don't want to fight him. He's too childish."
"I agree."
"I'm going to go back to my room now."
"Fine."
"Goodnight SesshoMaru."
"Goodnight Karappo."
