Who is that? That is me.
KNOCK KNOCK
Kagome groggily woke up. She adjusted her veil before allowing the person to enter. It was her father. She jumped out of bed and flew to him, hugging him ferociously. She then noticed something in his arms. She looked down at it. It was a beautiful silver dress. She gasped.
"It's for you." Her father said. "I think it will match your veil perfectly. There are slots for your wings, but they must remain hidden. Conceal them. Your mother will be angry at both of us for your dress. But you are always hidden in her choice of apparel; it's my time to choose. I choose this dress. The only thing I'm worried about is how we are going to beat those boys back," they chuckled. "The lord of the west is bringing his two sons here today. There will be a ball at their arrival. They need an alliance with us, and they would also be a powerful alliance to us. There oldest son, Sesshomaru, will be marrying either you or Kikyou. The first 3 days his bedroom will be next to Kikyou, and the next 3 days will be next to you. I frankly am glad that it will be the eldest son marrying you, the other, younger son, Inuyasha, is a flirting, twit." The two shared a laugh.
"Father, you seem to have left out the fact Kikyou might be the one to get married." Kagome said with a laugh.
"Don't tell anyone, but, I think you're much better than Kikyou. She takes after her mother too much, and as you know, we're not exactly very lovey- dovey." He whispered to her.
"Father, I think the princes would much prefer a princess they can see, as oppose to a veiled one." Kagome said wistfully.
"Sigh. Kagome you know how I would love to see your face, as would many. I have never seen your cheeks, or your eyes, or your nose, or your lips, or your chin, or any of your face. One day I will reveal your beauty. Then all will see how beautiful you are inside and out." The king said.
"How do you know I'm beautiful? I don't even know what I look like." Kagome said.
"How could someone as wonderful, kind, smart, and amazing as you be ugly?" the king said with a chuckle. Kagome smiled, but soon it turned into a frown again.
"But Father, I haven't even interacted with anyone besides maids and Sango. I don't know how to talk to people. I listen, not talk. What if I fall or something, I'll end up making a mockery of our kingdom." Kagome said in panic.
"Nothing you do could make a mockery of me. You will do fine; you have a natural, wonderful spirit. Now try on this dress!" The king said as Kagome smiled. She hugged him, before taking the dress to her changing room. She quickly slipped it on. It had no sleeves. It was snug around her body. It was made for her. Her wings comfortably fit through the slots. There was a cut from the mid thigh down. It showed her creamy, pale legs. On her shoulders/arms was where the sleeve like things was located. She ran outside. She spread her wings and flew up then down to her father. She landed with grace as he looked at her in awe.
"You look great my daughter. You are so beautiful. It inconceivable that you should be hidden from the world. I must go. There are some finishing touches I have to do. Sango will be coming to fix you up. The ball is in an hour. Farewell." He kissed her cheek and left. Kagome concealed her wings before turning to the door. Sango entered and gasped.
"Kagome you look amazing!" Sango said in awe.
"Thanks." Kagome said shyly. "Could you help me with my hair?"
"Sure" Sango said as she started to brush Kagome's hair. Sango began to talk about a perverted, but amazing boy that she just had to show Kagome.

Sesshomaru POV
We had been riding in the carriage for plenty an hour. My father had been talking to Inuyasha about flirting with the maids and misconduct. I mentally laughed. It was about time he got in trouble. I thought back to the Eastern elves. Why would they veil a daughter? Could she be that ugly? I heard that the eldest one was one to flirt and try to seduce. I heard she was the prettiest in the whole East. Great, another woman throwing herself at me, covered with that awful rogue to clog my senses. I hated women. They seemed utterly worthless and wore there emotions like clothes. As much as I hated the idea of marrying, I would do it for the West. I would do anything for the land of my heritage. I would sacrifice anything. The land was my pride. I looked out the window. The sun was setting over my land, my home; the West. It was an hour till we would get to the palace of the Eastern Elves. The sun would be completely set by then. I looked to the sky. Nice night for a party.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Kagome's POV The party had started. They must be there. My hair was down. It reached the tip of my lower back. Sango stretched out her hand. I grabbed it. I was extra nervous, because I was late. I was told to arrive late by and with Sango. We walked down the empty hall way to the ball room. Outside the doors were guards. I blushed behind my veil: they were ogling. Sango coughed as the stepped out of the way and let us in. I hesitated. I told Sango to go first. I waited a minute. Taking a long, deep, breathe, I stepped through the doors. The room paused and the music stopped. I heard whispering. People were saying things like "Who is that?" and "She so beautiful" I slowly descended the stairs. I slightly flew or glided if you will, down the stairs. I followed the carpet down to where my family was located. My father was elegantly sitting. The lord of the West was to his right. My mother was on the left. Kikyou was on her left. Kikyou was wearing a white dress. It stopped just below fingertips. It was a halter, and showed much of her cleavage. She was not one to be modest. Glancing at her face, I noticed she was drenched in make-up and rouge. She stank horribly. There was an empty chair next to Kikyou; my seat. On the right of the lord of the West was a very handsome man. I assumed he was the oldest, to his right was the youngest; Inuyasha. I walked up to the lord of the West and his children. I bowed. He nodded to me. I then bowed to his sons. I then proceeded to my father. I bowed low. He stood up and pulled me into a hug. In a deep voice he began to talk.
"Welcome my youngest daughter, Kagome. Please take a seat by your sister and let the ball continue!" he motioned to everyone. I bowed to my red- faced mother and sister before taking my seat.
"What are you wearing you wretched girl? I didn't give you permission to wear that." My mother hissed.
"But I did." My father said. My mother huffed before scowling and glaring. My sister was like her ditto. She began to repetitively pinch me. Soon I stood to find Sango, I couldn't stand my sister's stench. Before I could get anywhere, men flocked me asking me to dance. My sister then came in and pushed me away. They looked sadly at my sister. I couldn't believe it as they wishfully looked at me. They never bothered to look at me, and now! Maybe I should have stayed in the baggy clothing and find someone to love me for me not my body. I began to wonder away to find Sango, and that boy she liked so much: Miroku. I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I turned around and my hidden blue eyes met with golden ones. The sunset met the sunrise. (a/n get it the sun rises in East-sunrise Kagome-and set in the West-sunset Sesshomaru) It was Sesshomaru.
"Would you like to dance?" Sesshomaru said in a façade of a voice. I thought about. I had never danced with anyone but my father, who had taught me how to dance. I knew I danced well, but I still didn't know. I looked at Sango dancing with the boy I assumed was Miroku.
"Yes." I said in an also façade of a voice. He stretched out his hand, which I took. We proceeded to the dance floor.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sesshomaru POV
The music stopped and I looked up. And angel in silver proceeded down the stairs. She seemed to fly like an angel would, down the stairs. She had a veil, so she was easily marked as the youngest princess. She had an amazing body. Her curves were amazing, and she was filled out in all the right places. She had creamy pale legs. I found myself yearning to see what was behind the veil. I smelt my brother's think arousal. I had to try extremely hard to stop my self from throwing up. I looked back to the angel. She bowed to me and I inhaled deeply. She smelled of Sakura and Jasmine. She smelt so wonderful. I smelt my own arousal as I forced my arousal down. Looking up again, she was sitting down, then stood up and began to leave. She was soon bombarded with men. Her sister stood and knocked her sister out of the spotlight. Taking a sniff of Kikyou, I found her doused in Rouge and makeup and smelling of an awful substance. I had to force the vile in my throat to stay down in my throat. I made my way over to this Kagome. She was very mysterious, and I found my self wanting to find out more about her. I tapped her shoulder and looked on as she turned. I couldn't see her face or eyes, and yet, I found myself captivated by her gaze. I asked her to dance. My voice was in a façade. She paused to think. I found myself attracted to her more. She didn't throw herself at the chance, but thought it through. She agreed her voice also in a façade, attracting me more to her, and I stretched out my hand. She took it and we proceeded away on to the dance floor.
Normal POV
The two began to dance. The two got lost in the dance. It was just them, floating. The two inched closer and closer. Kagome rested her head on his shoulder as he inhaled her scent deeply. Kagome did the same. He smelt like the forest and spice. The two continued there dance, oblivious to the jealous men, and the envious women. Kikyou made her way to her sister. Her eyes green with envy. She "accidentally" pushed into Kagome. Kagome began to fall but grabbed Kikyou with her. Sesshomaru caught Kagome before she hit the ground, but Kikyou fell into the punchbowl, spilling it all over her white dress. Kagome whipped the sweat off her forehead. She gasped in shock. She could touch her forehead. Her veil was gone! Looking up, blue met gold, gold met blue, the sunrise met sunset, and the sunset finally caught the sunrise. She stared at him for what seemed like years before she looked at her drenched sister. In her hand was Kagome's veil. The court stared in awe. Kagome clung to Sesshomaru arm in fear. She heard more whispering: "Who is she?" "That can't be Princess Kagome" "She's amazing." "Why did they hide her" "Man I should have paid more attention to her" "she's going to be my wife". Kagome turned to a mirror hanging on the wall. She...she was beautiful. Her eyes were blue, her complexion a creamy pale. She had a natural blush. Kagome's eyes filled with unshed tears. She had never been able to see herself. Kagome took of the concealment spell off her wings. She slowly rose and flew high, she let a lone tear fall before soaring out of the building. She heard her mother screeching at her and slightly scowling at her sister who took her veil off. She then heard her father order the orchestra to play. She listened to the music as she flew away to her sanctuary. No one knew where it was, and Kagome often spent her time there. It was the closet away to the palace. It was a garden. There were Sakura trees all around. Then there were flowers all over. There was a natural waterfall that created a small lake. The only way to get to the spot was from above. Everywhere else had powerful trees or the roots of the trees. The trees had a natural spell. They were unable of being broken by almost anything. It was like a natural wall. Kagome listened to the waterfall, and began to fade into the sound. She then began to sing.
:::::::::::::::
Sesshomaru POV That Kikyou girl "accidentally" knocked into Kagome. Kagome began to fall, but I caught her. Kikyou, however, grabbed Kagome's veil as she fell into the red drink. Looking down at Kagome, he almost gasped at what he saw. She had blue eyes. No elf had blue eyes. Her parents didn't even have blue eyes. Her complexion was clean; she had a healthy pale visage with a natural blush. She was amazing. Her lips were that of the Sakura and jasmine she smelled off. She then looked at herself in the mirror. Tears formed in her eyes before she took of a concealment spell. He looked back at her to find she had white, silver wings. She began to fly up in the high ceiling. She looked like an angel. She left. He was in a daze when a tear landed on his nose. He used his demon speed to follow her. He came to a wall of trees. He could sense the powerful magic everywhere but above and inside. He also sensed Kagome's presence. He created a cloud at his feet and flew over the trees. He landed in a garden. There was a waterfall and lake. He hid behind a collection of Sakura trees and peered at Kagome. She was lying on a rock in the middle of the water. With an absent mind, she was stroking the water, creating ripples. She then began to sing.
Hidden from the World Hidden from the outside Hidden from the trace of my own essence Hidden from myself Hidden from my friends Hidden from everything
Often thought as ugly A horrendous sort of beast Hiding my tears within my wings of white Sleeping in the comfort of myself With no one to hold me With no one to care
No one bothered to look outside my appearance Then the veil came off and behind laid beauty unknown And now the seem to care But its fake and I want someone real
What is the use of beauty? But to always create a mask Once it was hidden I had few friends Now unleashed to no end It's fake They all are not real There lies I should know I lived in it before
I just want someone real for me Someone out of the ordinary Someone different then those who like appearance So send dear God send me, dear god send me the one who cares
She ended and I found myself in the water. I slowly crept to her and pulled her into a hug. She was just like me. She wanted to be loved for not her body or power, but her self. Her sunrise eyes looked into my sunset ones, as we edged closer and closer. Till we kissed...
:::: Done!!!! Disclamier: Don't own. My song though. Felt like a Disney moment. Anyway. Yeah. Review please! Oh this it a Sesshomaru Kagome lovey dovey thingy. So yeah. Review! I think I already said those last two statements but who cares?!?!?!Yeah!!!
