Dances with wolves
Chapter 2
Reaching the castle, Kagome entered the same way she left. In her room she changed back into her sleeping gown and was about to go back to sleep.
"Now for some sleep time"
She pulled back the spread and was about to lay down when her mother, Tsuki, walked in.
"Good, you're awake." She said
'So much for sleep.' Kagome thought
"Your father wants to speak with you in his study after breakfast." Tsuki said walking over to the closet and pulling out a kimono.
Kagome fell back on her bed and closed her eyes, letting out a deep sigh.
"You know if you stopped going to see that so called pack of your in the middle of the night, you'll get some decent sleep." Tsuki said laying the kimono on the bed.
It was light blue with black sakura flowers on them.
Kagome sat up and looked at her mother.
"Why are you here, and where's Kandy."
Tsuki looked at her. "She had to run errands for your father."
Kagome got up and left to take a bath. When she returned she saw that Tsuki left shoes and hair ornaments along with her outfit. She got dressed but left her hair down.
Kagome walked into the dinning room and was greeted by her family. Her father, Tomo, her mother, and her three younger sisters; Kasumi (6), Matsuri (4), and Miyuki (2).
She sat down next to her mother and waited for father to start eating.
After breakfast Kagome left with her father while Tsuki and her sister went outside. They walked into the study. Kagome sat down in front of the mahogany desk as Tomo went to the widow.
Tomo looked at her and sighed to himself.
"Kagome, you already know what I'm going to say. But I'll say it one more time. You have to find a ma-"
"I will not marry." She aid with an air of finality around her.
Tomo rubbed his temples and looked Kagome in the eyes. "You will marry because I say so. Now next weekend, there will be a ball held for you. It will be a week long so I hope you'll be prepared." He said walking a round his fuming daughter and out of the room.
45 minutes after he left Kagome was still sat there with her hands balled into fists. She was trying to calm down before she left room.
A passing servant saw her sitting there and walked up to her.
"Are you alright princess?" he asked. Then the sent of copper hit his nose. "What happened are you hurt anywhere?" He said checking her over.
Kagome looked at him then down to her hands, which she held so tight that her nails drew blood.
"Yeah I'm fine." She said unballing her fist as they healed. She stood and walked out of the room. She was still angry but not enough to take it out on a servant. So she grabbed the first soldier she saw, which happened to be a general in her father's army.
"Ah, princess what's wrong?" he asked.
Kagome kept walking not saying anything till they reached the dojo. She tossed him across the room to the wall with that held weapons.
He landed on his feet and looked at her
"Defend your self Kerugma." She said materializing a sword in her hands and charging at him. Kerugma turned and grabbed a sword off the wall and turned back just in time to block her first attack.
"Princess Kagome what's wrong." He asked again as Kagome attacked again.
"Pleasantries aside Kerugma. Fight me as you would in a battle." She said using a barrage of attacks.
Kerugma was having a hard time keeping up with her attacks.
"So I'm guessing that your father told you about the ball." He said attacking her.
She gritted her teeth as she thought about her father. Thinking about him made her angrier, making her attacks more powerful.
"I can't believe he wants me to mate. I would think that he wouldn't want some guy to come and take over our land. I mean is not like we need another person to add." She argued.
Their swords met in ac lash of strength as one sword pushed against the other. Pushing herself back Kagome finished with her famous three step move.
"Thanks kerugma." She said as most of her anger evaporated and she walked out of the dojo. Right as she walked out his clothes tore and fell off, leaving him covered only by his armor.
