Love In A Dream Land
Chapter 2
Sessho's Lady
AN: Here it is! Chapter Two! Just a little warning; I don't expect this to be a very long fanfic, but all suggestions are welcome. If I hear a good one, I'll definitely incorporate it somehow, so don't be afraid to speak up. Read and review! If you love me you will review. PLEASE!
Sesshomaru POV:
I left the battle, unnoticed as soon as Inuyasha's human wench purified Naraku. I met up with Jaken and Rin a few miles away.
"Come, Jaken, Rin. We are returning home."
We reached the western castle within two hours.
"Jaken, entertain Rin. I will be in my study. Get me when the servants have finished supper."
"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru! Come, Rin."
"Yay! Master Jaken is gonna play with me!"
I went to my study to finish some papers. As I entered, I noticed a letter on my desk. I opened it to see if it was of any importance.
Greetings, from the eastern lands.
Lord Sesshomaru,
You are cordially invited to attend a ball
hosted by Lord Katoru. The heir to the eastern
lands will be named, and it would be greatly
appreciated if you would attend.
Sincerely,
Lord Katoru
'So, Katoru finally found a mate and had a kid? I think I will attend this ball. With some luck, I might find someone worthy of being my mate.'
Jaken opened the door.
"Lord Sesshomaru?"
"What is it, Jaken?"
"There is a messenger here from the eastern castle. He is requesting your answer to some ball invitation."
"Tell him I will attend once I know when it is."
Jaken disappeared down the only to reappear a few moments later.
"Lord Sesshomaru, the messenger has left. He said the ball is in three days
Kagome POV:
Dad came into my room the day before the ball during my Kimono fittings.
"Kagome, dear, you're friends are here, but there's an extra person with them."
"Oh! That's Kikyo. Let her in, too, please."
"Okay. Next, you'll need to be fitted into your formal kimonos. After that, you can meet up with your friends. I'll send them to the northern garden."
"Okay!"
It took ten minutes before my fittings were done and I could go. I entered the garden to meet the stares of my astonished friends.
"Hello, everyone," I said.
Sango was the first to come out of her trance.
"Kagome! My god, look at you! You're gorgeous!"
She gave me a giant hug.
"Thank you, Sango."
She stepped back as Inuyasha stepped forward.
"You're a full-demon?"
"Yes."
"Well, do I still get to protect my little sister when you travel?"
"Of course."
He smiled and gave me a hug.
"Good to have you back, Kag."
He released me and Shippo jumped into my arms.
"You're pretty, Moma!"
"Thank you, Shippo. Would you all like to meet my father?"
My friends nodded, and I gave them a tour of the castle along the way.
The next might was the ball.
I wasn't allowed to enter until my dad introduced me, which was going to be soon.
"Now, I would like all of you to meet my heir."
The guard to his queue and spoke out.
"Now entering, Lady Kagome, Princess and heir to the eastern lands."
I enter the ballroom and walked to my father's side. I gave a bow to the lords and ladies of the court.
"It is a pleasure to be inn the presence of such noble demons. Thank you for coming."
The ball started up again, and Dad had me follow him.
"I want you to meet some of your guests. Your friends will be okay by themselves."
I followed and did my best to remember all the names introduced to me.
"Now, Kagome, the next young lord is by far my favorite. And I hear that he is looking for a mate."
Dad winked at me.
"Um, aren't I still a little young for… that?"
"Absolutely not! But I won't push you into mating for another few hundred years, so don't worry."
We walked through the crowd, and he stopped short, causing me to bumpe into him.
"Sorry, Father."
"Not to worry. Here is our dear lord. Meet my daughter, Kagome."
The lord turned and looked me in the eyes.
"Kagome, I would like you to me-"
"Sesshomaru," I said in an icy tone.
"Um…yes. You…know him?"
"He attacked me and my friends quite a few times with the intention of killing us."
