The Waiting and the Decision
Kagome has been busy over the past few days, with teaching Kanna how to cook and take care of her home. Sango has been slaying demons that arrive in her area and now Kohoku's training. Poor Miroku hasn't had much time with her! How she yearned for the simple life of sitting around and relaxing every once in a while. Although Kohoku has been getting on rather well with the training and the making of new weapons. Kanna has been a great help in making the miasma pellets and the death seal on all the dead youkai that they destroy.
She doesn't understand the reasoning for trying to keep busy because everynight since their dinner guest came, she has been dreaming of him. Dreaming that Sesshomaru would take her away from all the death and pain in the world and take care of her. For some reason she felt safe when he was in the house. That no one was going to come in and try anything since he was there. Even her cat felt comfortable with him in the house! Which was strange because she thought that dogs and cats did not get along. It must have been a respect thing on both of them. She had often wondered after Naraku was killed what his life was like. For he had been so kind and respectful with InuYasha after all was said and done. They actually have become rather close since then.
Kagome sat on her porch on the bench wondering what Sesshomaru's palace looked like. She dreamed that it was tall and large. That you could see it from miles around in its glory. That the walls were high, and the rooms vastly large. She could imagine all of the gardens on the property since she knew that Rin liked flowers. She had dreamed that he carried her to his bed. That he laid her carefully on the large soft bed to find that it was wrapped in silk. That he then started talking to her with kind and loving words…….
"Kagome what are you thinking of?"
Kagome then snapped out of it finding Sango sitting there watching her with interest.
"Wha.. What? Oh hello Sango. Been there long?"
"No. I was just walking up asking to see if you were going to call upon Lord Sesshomaru since this is the 3rd day. I saw that you were in deep thought and now I am wondering if you have made your decision on what you were going to do about his courting. I heard from Kohaku and Kanna that he did that and what happened during dinner that evening. Miroku decided that I should come and talk to you about it."
Kagome sat there and thought about it for a while pondering on what she wanted to do.
"I see that you are going to take him up on his offer." Sango said while looking at Kagome.
"I have not actually but I am still pondering on what I am going to say to him when he calls upon me tonight."
"Well I think that you should wear the black dress with the red orchids on it. For that one looks rather regal on you." Sango said with a smile.
"You know. You are becoming more like a blood sister to me. We have been through so much together with InuYasha and the group. I am so happy that you are with Miroku finally. You make him so happy inside and outside."
Sango sat there and listened to her and she started to blush. Sango came up to her and gave her a large forceful hug. "Thank you Kagome. For I know that you are going to make a wonderful wife to someone."
And with that she left running to Miroku. Kagome smiled and made her decision right there and then. She went inside to draw a bath for she must start getting ready for tonight. For Sesshomaru. A smile was on Kagome's face as she got into her bath.
