Chapter 14 Annual Ball

Kagome had finally awaken from her fantastic night with Sesshomaru. Considering what had happened only a few days ago. He was so gentle that she really had no reason to fear him. The first thing she felt was his warm skin pressed against her own. His breathing normal. Since she was still tired she snuggled closer to him. Which caused him to let out a soft purring/growling sound. Kagome giggled to herself at how easily she could make him submit to her gentle touch.

"is something funny to you koi" Sesshomaru asked looking down at her.

"oh you heard me" she asked slightly blushing. 'I thought he was asleep' she thought.

"no I've been up for a while"

"oh why didn't you wake me. Then you could've gotten up" Kagome said/asked.

"well I didn't want to awake my beautiful koi. And besides I would never leave you" he spoke softly in her ear.

Kagome just smiled. She never knew that he, Lord Sesshomaru could be this sweet and understanding. Kagome then up and kissed him full on the lips. It was short but sweet.

"come on we've got to get ready for the annual ball in a couple of days" Kagome said getting out of the bed. But Sesshomaru gently grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into the bed. Kagome let out an 'EEP' but then began to giggle as Sesshomaru started to nuzzle her neck and nip at it.

"S-Sesshomaru haha that ha tickles" she said in between laughs. Sesshomaru stopped nuzzling his mates neck once he noticed a change. The symbol of the Western Lands was now around The Northern Lands symbol.

"looks like your mine forever" he said with a sly smirk. Kagome smiled back as she slipped on his haori.

"come on Sesshy-koi lets get ready for lunch" Kagome said swishing her hips. Which of course Sesshomaru noticed. He knew she was teasing him and he didn't mind. 'so she's playing hard to get. That's even better' he thought to himself.

"Sesshy you ok" Kagome asked from the hot spring door. (yes there's a hot spring in his room too)

"no nothing's wrong" he said as he followed her into the hot springs.

After about twenty minutes both demons finally emerged from their bath. Sesshomaru put on his regular attire without his armor. And Kagome dressed in a beautiful green kimono with golden trim and gold feathers scattered about. After dressing Saki did her make-up and hair. Once Kagome said that Sesshomaru and herself were mated she started jumping up and down.

"kagome that's great!" she chirped. Kagome only smiled with a slight blush.

"thanks Saki you're the best" Kagome said giving her a hug.

"what did I do?"

"you've been here for me. Even though some of your thoughts could've been kept to yourself" Kagome joked as Saki giggled.

Just then the door opened as Inuyasha came in.

"Saki you in here?" he asked as he looked around the room until he spotted her.

"oh Kagome, uh I uhh…" he stuttered. Then he noticed the crescent symbol on her forehead. 'they mated' he thought to himself. Then he smiled.

"I'm happy for you Kagome" Inuyasha said looking at the floor. "thank Inuyasha". Then she noticed that Saki had her head down as well and was blushing.

"oh. Sorry if I was interrupting anything" Kagome said quickly leaving the room. 'they make a great couple' Kagome thought as she made her way down to lunch. Once she got there her friends were already there. Shippo and Rin were talking about how they had played 'Pin the Tail on the Imp' with jaken.

After eating lunch Miroku, Sango and Kirara had left to tell Kaede of the great news. They had finally destroyed Naraku.
"well we better be off Kagome" Sango said giving her one last hug. "yes Kagome we should be leaving" Miroku agreed.

"well ok but you have to come back and visit" kagome said making them promise. "ok Kagome we will" Sango said as she and Miroku hopped onto Kirara. Kagome watched them fly away and toward Kaede's Village.

"Sango"

"yes Miroku"

"now that Naraku is gone" Miroku paused as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"m-Miroku what are y-you doing" Sango stuttered.

"I was wondering if you would do me the honor of, bearing my children" he asked solemnly.

'OMG! Why can't I say no this time' Sango asked herself.

Because you love him her conscious replied.

'no I don't'

Yes you do

'no'

Yes

'no'

Yes

'no'

Yes

'no'

No

'yes'

No

'YES!' she shouted at her conscious. Then she realized that she had basically tricked herself.

'I-I didn't m-mean it like that. You tricked me!'

You tricked yourself her conscious said.

'grr…'

"Sango are you ok" Miroku asked snapping her out of her trance.

"uh yes, I-I yes-" she said blushing.

"yes, what is it" he asked wondering why she had said yes twice. And the fact that she didn't finish her sentence.

"yes I will bearyouchildren" she mumbled. " what was that" he asked

"I said that I will…will" she paused again as she turned to face him. Not knowing what to do, she hugged him.

"Sango?"

"I would love to bear your children Miroku" Sango spoke louder. Miroku who was in shock, well just stayed in shock. After coming out of his trance her hugged her back and smirked at the woman who was hugging his chest firmly.

(The Day of the Ball)

(sorry but I didn't feel like writing the rest of the days left) It was finally the day of the Annual Ball. It was to be held in the Northern Lands. Many other rulers would be there as well including the suitors of Sesshomaru and Kagome. All of the servants in the Western castle were running and scrambling around looking for clothes, make-up and other things to dress up Sesshomaru, Kagome and the kids.

"ah Kagome I will bring your dress in right now" Saki said as she was leaving out of Kagome's dressing room. But Sesshomaru stopped her midway.

"that wont be necessary Saki" he said as he walked in with a white package. "yes milord" Saki replied as she left the room.

"I would like for you to wear this koi" Sesshomaru said as he approached Kagome. He handed her the package and told her to open it. And inside was a beautiful black kimono with golden trim. At the bottom of the kimono and going up were gold vines with roses. The kimono was made of the finest silk. It was so light and maneuverable. There two slits on the kimono, making it easier to walk. Also inside the box was a velvet rectangle box. Kagome opened it and inside was a gold necklace with a crescent moon on it.

"oh Sesshomaru, there…a little gorgeous" she said in awe. She'd never seen anything so beautiful. Sesshomaru gave on of his very rare smiles.

"I'm glad you like them…they were my mother's " he said softly. Then only for a second his face showed sadness. But then returned to a soft semi-smile.

"oh Sesshomaru, then I can't wear these. I mean there your mother's and I-"

"no, I want you to have them" he cut her off. "but Sesshomaru, there to beautiful"

"please Kagome" he asked nuzzling his nose with hers as he looked in her eyes. (OMG he actually said please)

"ok Sesshy for you" she said giving him a quick kiss. "ok well if I'm going to get dressed then you've got to leave" Kagome shooed.

"but I've seen you in less than this" Sesshomaru gestured to her silk robe. Kagome playfully slapped his arm. "Sesshomaru you perv" she joked. After a minute he left. Sending Saki back in.

(Later)

Everyone was finally dressed for the Ball. Rin was wearing a beautiful silk red kimono with gold trim and flowers. Shippo was wearing something similar to what Sesshomaru would wear but it was green. And of course Sesshomaru was wearing an outfit similar to his usual one but was black and white with crescent moons placed in just the right spots. Once everyone was down stairs waiting. Kagome came out in the beautiful silk kimono Sesshomaru had given her. Kagome had her hair pulled up into a beautiful bun with hair falling through the middle. Two chopsticks were stuck in her hair as two bangs framed her face. And of course the gold necklace was around her neck.

"Kagome-chan looks beautiful" Rin chirped. "yeah mama you look great" Shippo agreed.

"thank you, you look beautiful as well Rin. And Shippo my strong little man you look very handsome" Kagome smiled.

"shall we go" Sesshomaru asked offering her his arm. "yes we shall" Kagome responded happily as all four of them made their way to the Northern Lands.

(At the Northern Lands)

Mia and Kanzuo had been greeting all of the other Lords and Ladies as they arrived. Soon the ball room was full of all types and shapes of demons. "I wonder where Kagome, Sesshomaru and the kids could be" Mia wondered. "I'm sure they'll be here soon" Kanzuo reassured. And on cue they had arrived.

Mia and Kanzuo left the room to greet the last of the guest's. once at the door Mia and Kanzuo noticed Sesshomaru's family's mark around Kagome's. 'so they've finally mated' Kanzuo thought with a smile. But the silence was broken when Mia chirped out "Oh my baby!" Mia hugged her daughter tightly.

"oh Kagome, I'm so happy for you" she yipped hugging her daughter once more.

"thanks mom" Kagome said blushing slightly. "well come on the ball has just begun" Mia said bringing Kagome and the children into the Ball Room. But Kanzuo pulled Sesshomaru to the side.

"I trust you will respect my daughter" Kanzuo said to Sesshomaru.

"yes, you have nothing to fear. I love your daughter" Sesshomaru replied. Kanzuo just smiled his goofy smile and lead Sesshomaru into the Ball Room. Inside Kagome was talking to Violet and Claire. They were all laughing and giggling. The kids had gone into another room to play. (there were a lot of kids, A LOT)

"congrats Kagome" Claire cheered. "yea it's about time" Violet said giddy. Kagome just shuck her head. 'those to are crazy' she thought to herself. Halfway through the ball went smoothly. Kagome and Sesshomaru danced to a couple of songs. And sat some out. When another slow song came on she and Sesshomaru got up and danced. He gently wrapped his arms around her waist. And Kagome wrapped both hands around his neck. Halfway through the song Kagome spotted Souta and Akira dancing. Her head was resting against his chest and of course he was blushing like a mad man.

Kagome giggled to herself as she watched her brother dance with Akira.

"what's so funny" Sesshomaru asked. "oh just look at Souta. isn't it so cute" Kagome chirped. Sesshomaru only smiled at his mate. Once the song was over Kagome had excused herself to go to the washroom.

Coming Up: Sesshomaru arguing, Kagome arguing, Souta's first kiss and more. So keep it locked (hehe)
