Ok. um as i originally said this was a oneshot. but as i write more and more i have come up with the greatest chapter that will be coming after this one. Have fun!

The day sped away so fast that the Tai-Youkai knew not what hit him. Kagome, who was shopping, had spent hours throwing clothes at him, trying them on, and then asking if he liked them. Many times he had dropped his jaw at the small and tight kimonos. At one point he had seen her looking at something tight and skimpy called "laungerea" (spelling i know i suck at it. ontop of that i type fast so i make alot of mistakes. Srry). Imediatly he had grabbed her and forcfully dragged her out of the department store. She had not been happy with him.

They left her time for his with several bags of clothes, chocolates, toys, and the dress they had come for. They hopped through the well, him having to hold everything, including her! She was so tired that after returning to his time she fell asleep and he flew them back to the castle. He placed her lovingly on the bed, beneath the sheets, and he proceded to hang up the clothes they had purchased.

The following day the three Lords and their enterage of servants and their Lady came to the castle. kagome and Seshoumaru greeted them. However, Seshoumaru pulled them to the side before introducing them to Kagome. She knew not why, but only assumed he was handling business or protecting her from something he did not wish her to know.

"Lord Kai, and Lady Sachiko i would like for you to meet my mate, Lady Kagome. Kagome, dearest, they are of the Southern region."

"Yes,Yes thats right." said the burly demon. He was kind of round, yet well defined. He had a deep voice, and it appeared that he was a Cat demon of some kind. His wife was beautiful, small and yet flexable. She was the prettiest demoness she had ever seen.

"My dear Kagome,"shesaid lovingly, "it is grand that i should meet you. I get the distinct feeling we shall be friends! And im so glad that Seshoumaru finally found a mate. Im sure you are the balance he needs in his life. If you have any questions about what you are going through, please ask me. Talk to me. for i too was once a human."

"Really? does that mean that you were a miko as well?"

"As a matter of fact, yes. I was the teacher of Midoriko. Of course i was still human then. And a lot younger." they laughed together and seshoumaru and Kai rolled their eyes. Kagome was going to lead them to their room when they had declaredthat they knew where it was. Apparently all the lords recieved specific quarters in each of the castles, and the Southern clan of all had visited the Western clan the most. Apparently they had strong family ties.

"This, Kagome, is Lord Sakero and Lady Takara. They are of the eastern clan."

"She is marvelous, Seshoumaru. Having known you all my life i never expected you to fall in love with a human. But she makes the most exquisite demoness. And s he smells..." he paused, "so delictable and pure. Im sure she is quite the kind and caring one in the family now." Seshoumaru growled playfull and his wife hit him over the head.

"Pervert. Excuse my husband Kagome. He and Seshoumaru were friends growing up and unfortunatly, he finds it's ok to oke about anything."

"No, no. Its quite alright. I have a human friend who is much like him. Actually he shall be coming. im positive the two of you will get along fine. I hope you enjoy your stay with us."

She bowed once and waited to meet the next few guests who were of lesser standing. The Northern Lord and Lady soon appeared. They were dragon demons. The eastern nobls had been inu-youkais as well, much the same as Seshoumaru. But The northern Lord And Lady were quite... Exotic.

"this is Lord Tachi and Lady Noi. They are of course of the North."

"Pleased to meet you young lady. Hope you are taking good care of our Seshoumaru! Honstly! It's about Goddamn time he got a girl!"

His wife nodded in agreement. She was silent, but the look in her eyes was kind and giving.

At about noon the Inuyasha group got there. Sango jumped from Kirara's back just as her paws hit the floor. She sprinted off in the direction of the waiting Kagome. but as she neared she slowed down and her head dropped.

"Excuse me, MiLady. Have you seen Lady Kagome?"

"I am she Sango-chan! Xant you tell? Oh-yeah forgot ive undergone some change since i mated Seshoumaru."

"Is he good to you?" she asked protectivly. She looked to the side of kagome,to short to look over her shoulder, and sent a glare at Seshoumaru. He flinched.

"Of course. I love him. He's the most amazing demon."

"MOMMY!" Shipou jumped up intoher arms. "Your a demon! Just like me! Now we can be together forever!"

"Yes darling, but first i want you to meet a friend of mine. She's kind of like my daughter, which would make you two brother and sister. RIN!"

Rin ran out hurriedly pulling on her fancy dress. "mommy, Rin thinx this dress is pretty, butits making Rin itch."

"it'll go away soon i promise. If it continues to bother you ask Kaira to get you a regular Kimono to put on. Until that time however, i would like for you to meet your brother shippou." They looked at each other interestedly and as if reading each others minds Rin asked: "Mom we are going to go bother jaken now ok?"

"alright you do that." she patted the twoon t heir heads and then stood to see Sango and miroku in each other's embrace. "Some things have changed since I've been away, and im not referring to me." She giggled. Sango and Miroku nodded.

"He finally popped the question."

"And after bopping me over the head 13 times, she finally said yes."

"I knew it was coming."

Finally Kagome turned on Inuyasha, whose arms were wrappedaround Kikyou. She walked towards them, and after sniffing the air, INuyasha stepped back angry at something, and Kagome got the distinct impression that it wasnt because she was a demon.

"Come, I'll show you to your rooms." Inuyasha and Kikyou got a private little abode in the back garden area, where they would be free to leave the party group alone. Sango and Miroku got a room near the master room, and Shippou had an extra bed brought into Rin's room so that they could share a room.

The night proceeded onward. Dinner was being served at 7 and it was only 5. Kagome decided to go down to the springs with sango. They went down there to talk gossip.

"So howlong have you and..." Kagome started.

"Since just last week after i nearly beated Inuyasha to a pulp. And you and..."

"Since the day at the springs. Wierd really. There was no love in it. I Jst felt so compelled, like i was meant to belong to him. As if loving him was suppost to be my lifes job."

"Ya. I kind of felt the same with Miroku. Only i had about three years to get to know him and him three years to get to know my ass."

They burst into a small fit of giggles at that. Together, in a spring, life was calm and livable. Outside of that little world was hell, and at times it was unbearable. But now was a time of happiness, and so they preyed upon it like an eagle and its food.

The time came for the beginning of dinner. Everyone but the Host and Hostess had appeared. they all waited patiently, chatting with the rest of the group. At one point Seshoumaru came down and announced that his mate would soon be down however, she was tucking the little ones into bed. The group AWWWWWWed at that.(lol).

Finally not twenty minutes later she appeared. All conversations stopped, as well as the hearts of all the men on the floor. Everyone was in awe as their jaws hit the floor.
