Chapter 7

After breakfast Kagome followed Rin into her room there Sesshomaru was waiting for them. "have a seat." he said in his cool stoic voice she did as she was told Rin took a seat next to her. "earlier this morning Rin told me that you and Kikyou were having a 'conversation' is that correct?" Kagome nodded her head. And he continued. "and Rin told me that she over heard Kikyou say that she should have killed you instead of your mother. And then stuttered to make up a lie." Kagome nodded for him to continue. "you do know that murder is not prohibited unless cleared by the ruler or in this case my father. So there are two things we want to know. One is this true. And two who was your mother." she want expecting the last question so her moth hung open for a moment till.

Once she regained her posture she answered the first question "yes it is true she killed my mother." she looked down at the ground when it was time to answer the second question. But lucky her she didn't have to a servant came in.

"Forgive me for intruding but your preparations for to night must be started so please go to your own room lord Sesshomaru and Kagome you wont be needed till later." with that she turned around and left.

"We shall continue this conversation later." and he tuned to leave followed by Kagome. As they left another servant came in. and closed the door behind Kagome.

As she walked down the hall she bumped into another person. She waited for the impacted with floor but it never came instead there was a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist. As the mystery person put her on her feet she looked into the golden eyes of her savvier and realized it was Inuyasha.

" hey wench you should watch out were your going." she nodded dumbly. He noticed anther sent intertwined with hers. It was that of a dog demons at first he thought it might have been his. But then he sniffed again and it turned out to be a sent that he never smelled before but before he could ask why there was demon in her sent it disappeared. Maybe it was one of the servants there were quiet a few that he had never seen or smelt before. Or maybe he should ask his dad. Yeah he would do that later.

He looked down into her confused chocolate eyes and spoke. "anyway Sango is looking for you. She's in the library . Do you know were it is."

"Yes I know exactly were it is." and with that she went past Inuyasha while headed to his fathers accommodations.
Once there he stood outside his fsthers door he was about to knock when there was a voice and it told him to come in. once in he took a seat across from where his father was seated . "what is troubling you Inuyasha?" Inuyasha told him what happened in the hall. "the samething happened this morning at breakfast when she first walked in."

"Is it possible for demons to hide there sents?" he asked after a few minutes of scilence.

"No it is impossible unless they had a barrier which can only be made by very powerful mikos." but there was one other explanacion for it. "Inuyasha I want you to find out who her parents where." Inuyasha gave him a questioning gaze. "I have one other thought as to why this maybe happening. But before I tell you I want you to find out who they were."

"Yes father." and with that he left.

----(---

Kagome maneuvered her way through the mass of halls to the library. As told there was Sango waiting there. There was a smile plastered on her face. "So who was the one who over heard you conversation?"

"It was Rin and she told Sesshomaru and he asked me the name of mother." eminently the smile vanished. Sango knew that they would either laugh at her and call her a liar or they would believe her and she would become queen.

She decided to change the subject and told her how the ball room was going to look and what kind of music they were going to play. By the time she was done telling her a maid came in announcing that they were waiting for Kagome so they could dress her and do her hair. They said there goodbyes.

Once she got into her room they eminently started to drag her to the bathing area. They washed her hair with something that smelled like apples. Then they dried her hair. Once it was dried they started curling her hair. While some were doing that others where putting some color on her face. Though she didn't need a corset they put one on her anyway. They put about three under dresses on before they put the actual dress on.

She walked through the halls once more and made her way to the ball room. When she got there a servant opened the door for her. She gave her thanks and walked in. as soon as she walked in she felt out of place while she had been to some before that had been eight years ago. She could hear people pointing and whispering. She just walked to a excluded corner and watched as people piled into the ballroom. Then Inuyasha walked in he was scanning the room for someone then his eyes landed on her and he gave a grin. And he started walking over to her but before he could get to her a man with midnight black hair pulled into a pony tail and beautiful blue eyes walked in front of her.

"I'm Kouga would you like to dance?" he gave her a cocky grin that showed his fangs.

"no I'm waiting for someone." as if on cue Inuyasha came up behind Kouga. He took Kagome's hand and lead her to the dance floor. She was surprised at first as was everyone else but then she relaxed. She smiled up at him a smile that could melt even the coldest of hearts. "thanks I needed rescuing."

"keh your welcome." was his replied for about a minute no one talked. But then Inuyasha broke the silence. " Kagome can I ask you a question that has been bothering me for a while now?"

"Umm… sure" she hoped it had nothing to do with her parents because right now she was still a commoner and it is impossible to lie to a demon they can smell it in your scent that you are scared of being found out.

"who where your parents and how did they die." as soon as she heard the word parents she found interest in the floor. She could remember right away how her mother died but it took her a few moments to remember how her father died. But when she remembered a tear slid down her cheek.

Inuyasha watched as her head dropped at the mention of her parents and a few moments later a tear slid down her cheek. Then she spoke. "my father was murdered but they never found the killer his body was sliced in half when we found him. And my mother was stabbed right in front of me by my step sister and she blamed it on me. her father believed his daughter and sent me out of the house." as she said this there were a few tears that slid down her cheeks. Inuyasha's heart clenched as he watched her cry.

"but who were they" he asked again in a soft and gentle voice.

"Mir and Jade Higurashi." she answered his question quietly. The name sounded familiar from somewhere but he couldn't put his finger on where he had heard it. but he dropped the thought and looked a t the crying girl in front of him. He lead her off the dance floor and to a secluded area near the fire place. Around it were chairs and couches.

He sat down on the couch bring her with him. " its ok Kagome I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you cry." he was truly sorry he hated when women cried. He pulled her into an embraces. She was reluctant at first but then melted into it soon she stopped crying and he released her. She gave him on of her trade mark smiles. Then he noticed the demon scent on her again but this time it stayed.

Inutaisha's voice boomed over everyone as he said his speech when he was done everyone started eating. There was foods of all sorts. Everyone was eating and chatting merrily with the person next to him. It was a great feast of feasts.

Once it was over and everyone left Inuyasha went to go find his father. He found him in his study. Once again before he could knock his father told him to come in. " I found out who her parents where and how they died."

"ok continue." he edged him on.

"Her mother was Jade Higurashi and her father was Mir Higurashi." he watched as his fathers face turned to a grin.

"just as I thought she is the heir of the southern lands." Inuyasha's mouth hung open for a moment. " her father was of the black dog demon tribe and her mother a very powerful miko. And that would explain how she knew Kikyou."

"how does that explain it?" not only was he surprised but he was couriers too.

"Kikyou's father married Kagome's mother after her father died." he just nodded his head then something clicked.

" wait that would mean Kikyou killed Kagome's mother and framed Kagome." Inutaisha just nodded his head. At his own words Inuyasha growled and balled his hands into a fist. Not noticing the blood that trickled down.

"and that explains the dog sent coming from Kagome. Her appearance and scent were sealed up until it is her sixteenth birthday which considering her scent is already coming through sometime tomorrow she will show her true appearance."
