Disclaimer- I or she... lol... don't own Inu Yasha, only the plot! .

A female youkai then entered the room. She had light pink hair with two snowy white velvet ears that stuck up out of it and a fluffy white tail. She was dressed in a simple kimono with a silver sash around it. She looked the same age as Kagome.

"Shall we get you cleaned up miss," Sasha said with a bright smile.

"Yep, I defiantly do need it!" Kagome giggled. "Wow" Kagome thought. "A cat youkai for a servant, this is so cool!"

Later

Steam poured from the indoor built hot spring which was heated by lava buried deep underground. Kagome sank into the water feeling entirely relaxed.

She sighed with satisfaction "This feels sooo good."

After a few minutes of soaking in the water she reached for a sapphire colored vile on a smooth river stone. She struggled a bit trying to open the little bottle.

thunk

Instantly after the bottle was opened, an aroma poured out to meet Kagome's nose. The fragrance was enchanting.

"Hmm, that smell." Kagome brought the bottle up to her nose. "Jasmines, my favorite!"

Pouring some of the rare liquid into her palm she started to scrub and massage her head.

"Umm, this is wonderful." Kagome thought, as she dipped her hair into the warm water till all the foam was gone from her sleek hair.

A sponge the shape of a leaf lay on a white stone along with a bottle of soap. Anointing the sponge with the soap, Kagome scrubbed her body till it was sparkling clean. She sinking once again she relaxed in the warm water and let her let her mind wander.

"Rin is such a sweetie." Kagome thought. Smiling she thought about what the little girl had said to her when she was walking with Sasha to the hot spring.

(Flashback)

Excitedly Rin started to name off things Kagome and she could do that after noon. "We can go pick flowers in Sesshomaru s¡¦ garden, go catch fireflies, play tag with Lord Jaken, visit Sesshomaru, read Rin stories, catch butterfly."

"Rin, first Lady Kagome needs to wash up and get something to eat. Oh by the way Lady Kagome..."

"Please Sasha, call me just Kagome." Kagome cut in.

She smiled and nodded "Ok, K A...G...O...M...E!"

They both started giggle. They both knew that they would become good friends.

"Hehehe, as I was saying! Lord Sesshomaru has invited you to dine with him. After your bathe, I will come and bring you your dinning kimonos."

(End of flashback)

Kagome sank lower into the steaming water. "I wonder what Lord Sesshomaru's like I hope he's handsome..." She then smiled to herself. "What am I thinking." She then started to run her fingers through her raven hair. "I hope he's not like Kouga though.

She then gasped "Kouga! Oh no! I hope he doesn't find me! I doubt he wouldn't be looking for me."She then shuddered. "What if he finds me?" Then shaking her head. She tried to rid thoughts out of her head. "I'm not going to think of that now.

knockknock

"Kagome, Kagome are you in almost done? I have your kimonos." She heard Sasha voice behind the sliding wooden door.

"Yah, Sasha I'm done." Kagome shouted as she got out of the water and started heading towards a towel. Wrapping the fluffy fabric around her, she approached the screen. Sliding it open to it revealed Sasha, standing there patiently.

"My lady, I mean Kagome I have your kimonos." She then handed Kagome a pile of neatly folded dinning kimonos and bowed. "Enjoy."

Taking each of the silk kimonos Kagome held it up and observed it.

"Ohhhh, .Sasha they're beautiful!" Kagome gasped.

She then took her favorite of the five Sasha had given her and held it up to her body. It was a creamy milk color with gold threads embroidered in the sleeves, along with a golden sash. Cherry blossoms where sown on the neck and sleeves. The delicate petals on the blossoms looked so real it seemed they where growing on the kimono it's self.

"How does it look?" Kagome asked

"It's gorgeous! I can't wait to see it on you my lady!" Sasha gleamed.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken whined "Why do you help another pathetic human?"

"I have my reasons Jaken." Sesshomaru spoke calmly as he made his way towards the dinning room.

"But Lord Sesshomaru." Jaken complained.

"Shut-up Jaken." Sesshomaru ordered.

As Sesshomaru entered his dinning courtiers and his leg was suddenly embraced with a little hug. Looking down, he saw Rin staring back up at him clinging on his pant leg.

"Good afternoon Lord Sesshomaru, Rin is glad to see you!" Rin smiled.

"I too Rin." Sesshomaru spoke and fondly patted her head.

Letting go of Sesshomaru, Rin ran towards Jaken.
"Ahhh get back you wrenched child." Jaken squawked holding out his staff in defense. But both staff and his self was taken up in a tight loving embrace.

Sesshomaru kept walking till he got to the middle of the room where he sat on a cushion that was next to a low dinning table.

"Ack, Let go of me you worthless human!" Jaken commanded, squirming trying to get free.

"Oh sorry Lord Jaken!" Rin frowned and set the fussy toad/elf back on the ground.

Kiron then entered the room and bowed in respect.

"My Lord Sesshomaru." He asked. "You ask of my presence."

"Kiron have you information about the girl." Sesshomaru asked, as he motioned with a nod to his servants to prepare food.

"Yes my Lord, her name is Kagome; this is all I have found out." Kiron answered.

Then Rin cut in "Sesshomaru-Sama Rin has met Lady Kagome and she is really nice!"

"Kiron," Sesshomaru spoke with an emotionless tone.

"My Lord?"Kiron asked.

"Go, bring me the girl Kagome." He commanded.

"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru." Kiron answered bowing obediently he left the room.

OoOo OoOo OoOo OoOo OoOo OoOo OoOo OoOo OoOo OoOo OoOo OoOo

Kagome's prov

"Oh my lady, you're beautiful Sasha gasped.

Looking at herself in the mirror Kagome was pleased. The beautiful kimono looked like it was made to fit her perfect body. Her raven hair was brushed and combed to a fine silkiness. Sasha had added a bit of powder and a little blush and some mascara/eyeliner. Kagome was perfection.

"Hmm, something's missing." Kagome ran her eyes up and down her refection.

"What's that Kagome?" Sasha questioned.

"hmm, this!" Kagome suddenly reached for a cherry blossom that was in a bundle of flowers Rin had picked for her earlier that day and stuck it in her hair.

''There." Kagome then smiled, she was satisfied.

"Perfect" Sasha smiled.

knockknock

"I'll get it" Sasha said running to Kagome's door.

Sasha slid the wooden door open to reveal Kiron standing behind it panting.

"Is Lady Kagome here?" Kiron said gasping for air.

"Kiron she is here, what is the matter?" Sasha asked with a worried expression.

"I have been looking everywhere for you two! Sasha lunch is going to be served and Lady Kagome will be late if we do not hurry!" Kiron spoke with a panicked look.

"Lunch!" Sasha shrieked. "I almost forgot! Lady Kagome!"

Hearing her name Kagome rushed to the door.

"Sasha what's wrong? Oh, hey Kiron." She smiled.

Kiron instantly stopped breathing and stared at Kagome.

"How do I look?" Kagome chirped and did a little twirl.

"Is, is that you my lady?" Kiron gaped in disbelief.

"It's wonderful what a bath can do." Kagome giggled.

Kiron was speechless.

"Lady Kagome! We must hurry! Lord Sesshomaru will be expecting you." Sasha panicked.

In the forest...

A small fire crackled and a small river of smoke rose to meet the rising sun of the morning. The sky flared to a fiery color as the sun began to emerge from behind some unknown distant mountains. An icy gust of wind rustled through the trees making them sway and creak.Kouga's comrades Ginta and Hakkaku, huddled around a pathetic fire the two had try to make, for the last hour. Gathering dry wood after it had just rained wasn't a very easy thing to do. Arms crossed, Kouga miserably leaned on a nearby oak trunk cursing. Looking all night, Kouga hadn't found one trace of Kagome.

"Should we remind Kouga about going home." whispered Hakkaku wringing out his soaked tail.

"Are you crazy! He would probably kill us if we even talk to him!" Ginta whispered back trying to keep his voice at a whisper.

"Its freezing out here and we can¡¦t smell that females scent anywhere because of the damn rain!" Hakkaku said a little above a whisper.

"Shhhh!" Ginta hushed. "Kouga is ready to kill anything that bothers him. So keep your trap down!"

But little did they know, with his extremely keen ears, Kouga could hear a heartbeat of a mouse and was listening to their stupid conversation.

"I don't understand what is so special about this woman anyway!" Hakkaku scowled.

Kouga then growled dangerously. "KAGOMES MY WOMAN THAT'S WHY!" Leaping in the air at unblinkable speed Kouga landed in front of his comrades and kicked and punched both of them in the gut. Stunned at first Ginta and Hakkaku were now in the dirt at their lords feet whimpering for their lives.

Kouga snarled "Get up, we're going back!"

Quickly Ginta and Hakkaku obeyed.

In Kouga's mind he thought. "I will find you Kagome, don't worry!"

Sesshomaru's Castle

"Please hurry Lady Kagome, this way." Kiron called over his shoulder.

"I hope were not late!" Kagome said with a bit of worry in her voice.

Turning a corner the three approached a craved door made of gold and strange dark wood, with a dangerous but majestic dragon looking on it. Wonderful smells poured through the little cracks in the door. Kagome felt her stomach growl.

"Here we are Lady Kagome." Kiron stopped next to the beautiful door.

"Kiron." Kagome spoke with unease as she slightly bit her lip.

"My lady," Kiron asked "What is wrong?"

"What if if I mess up?" Kagome looked away from his gaze and stared at the floor.

"Just remember what I told you my Lady. I will go in announce your presence. After you hear your name, enter the room and bow. My Lady Kagome you will be wonderful!" He exclaimed.

"No worries Kagome." Sasha smiled. "After dinner you can go find me and tell me about how it went!"

"Thanks guys." Kagome felt her heart lift.

Kiron grinned and nodded. "Well best of blessings to you my lady."

Taking a deep breath Kiron slid the door open, stepped in, and disappeared into the room, closing the door behind him.

From inside the dinning room Kagome could hear Kiron's voice call out.

"My Lord Sesshomaru I bring you Lady Kagome."

"Here it goes!" Kagome thought. Swallowing she stepped in front of the divine door. Grabbing the ornate golden handle she slid it open with ease.

Stepping into the room, her eyes were instantly captured by golden ones across the room.

"Those eyes!¨Kagome gasped inwardly.

"Lady Kagome, Lady Kagome" A little girls voice rang out.

Feeling something tugging on her kimono, Kagome forced her eyes down to meet the cute face of Rin.

"Lady Kagome is sooooo pretty!" Rin squealed.

"Uhh, Oh, thank you Rin." Kagome smiled and stroked Rin's head.

Looking up from the little girl, Kagome looked back into the face of the great Taiyoukai.

He had long silver hair. Two crimson strips on each side of his cheek bones and one indigo crescent moon on his forehead where his bangs parted. Plus two intense golden eyes. Her eyes then fell to a fluffy furry thing on his shoulder. Either it was a pelt of something like a tail, she didn't know. Then she gazed at his youkai armor on his chest. Little did Kagome know Sesshomaru was staring directly at her.

"He's so handsome!" She thought. "No he's more like beautiful!"

(Sesshomarus Pro)

Sesshomaru wondered why the girl just stared at him. He watched as her eyes fell on his pelt than armor. This was very awkward.

(In the dinning room¡K..)

The room grew very silent. From behind Sesshomaru, Kiron stood and watched. He could tell by the way Kagome looked that she was in awe of his Lord. Looking around the room he noticed the other servants starting to whisper and stare at Kagome.

"You dare not show your respect and bow to the Lord of the West, the Great Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken growled, trying to show up most respect to his not so impressed lord.

Quickly seeing her failure Kagome bowed, hoping that the ugly green thing would shut-up. She then realized everyone was staring at her. There was a silence that no one seemed brave enough to break, until Rin walked up bravely grabbing her hand and simply said. "Rins hungry, lets eat"
