Author's Note: Remember Inuyasha does not belong to me, it belongs to Rumiko Takashi
Recap:
–O.k. Kagome remember not to trip with these shoes, open the door and ask for…. - the moment she opened the door she was faced with violet eyes that seemed to stop the time. The words seemed to be stuck to her throat but she forced herself to speak.
-Good evening and welcome to the Mikado House, may I please know your name? - The words seemed to flow out of her mouth and Kagome was amassed that her voice sounded so calm. The voice that answered was smooth and sends shivers down her spine.
-Good evening, my name is Tashio, Tashio Inuyasha.
AN: O.k. On with the story
Chapter III
After that answer Kagome could only stare at him he was by far the most handsome man she had ever saw. He had long black hair and was dressed in an elegant Tuxedo with a black bow tie, a gold necklace with a foreign symbol in it, but to Kagome´s surprise he had a sword right next to him.
A noise reclaimed her attention and she could finally focus on something besides him, right next to him there was a bodyguard. He had a small ponytail, and a man in black type of suit. He definitely screamed bodyguard. He seemed to be entertained of her staring but behind the black shades she couldn't be sure. Anyway who wears sunglasses in the night?
-Please follow me Mr. Tashio- o.k. Kagome, whatever you do, do not trip…you can do it the door is right there…
-Madam Mikado, Mr. Tashio and...-she was going to say Mr. Tashio andcompany have arrive but the phrase would be forever incomplete because as soon as the name Tashio came out of her mouth Kagome was pushed by the ¨few¨ guest (but then again when you are being pushed they don't seem so few).
-Well this reaction only answers my question of who were they all waiting for- thought Kagome, but she was once again interrupted from her thought when Mr. Mikado order her to go get his daughter.
-Kagome, go and get Kikyo tell her that he is already here-
Kagome could only hear the introduction of Mr. Tashio as she was leaving the room, but with the noise that the guest were making it was quite obvious that he was indeed a very important man. Without turning Kagome went out of the room without noticing that somebody was looking at her retreating form.
AN: Should I leave it there?……No way. So on with the story.
She went through the maid stairs to go and fetch Kikyo; she knocked in Kikyo´s room and a cold voice answer her.
-Come in-
Kagome went into the room and for a few seconds she forgot why she was there. The room seemed so void of color and life, totally different from the one in her house.
A very famous designer designed the room, but it seemed to be just a shell. Nothing in the room would show that a person lived there. The room was impeccable, and maybe that was the reason. There weren't any personal belongings out of place, nothing personal that would say, Hey! Somebody lives here. The room was intact, the same way the designer had left it 5 years ago. A very pale color blue (very pale indeed it didn't reach sky blue or baby blue) that could be confused with almost white adorned the walls. No portraits, no music no nothing. The window was covered by white curtain and the bed was in the same colors. Not a speck of dusts anywhere.
-What do you want Kagome –
-Miss Mikado, you father sends me to inform you that Mr. Tashio has arrive-
-Very well- standing up and walking very slowly Kikyo make her way to the dancing room. Kagome could finally snap out of her thought and started to follow her, noticing how elegant Kikyo Mikado really was. There weren't any doubts in her steps.
When they arrive in the dining room it seemed that they didn't miss much since Mrs. Mikado was still introducing their guest.
-… Prince of Japan, Dynasty Tashio, Tashio Inuyasha. He is going to be honoring us by staying in our house for few weeks.- said Mr. Mikado, with a very smug and pleasant smile, to Kagome he resembled the cat who ate the canary.
-Mr. Tashio what is the reason for your stay here in the United States? - asked one of the guests
- It's a personal reason and I cannot divulge the secrets of my country as you can very well understand.-
- Yes of course…- answered the guest.
-May I announce Miss Kikyo Mikado. - said Kagome with a voice as loud and firm as she could muster.
-Good evening Mr. Tashio, may I say how very pleased we are of having you here, my father has said many things of your father and you, that I already feel like I have know you.- said Kikyo and not few of the men in the room stared at her.
Everybody knew that Kikyo had been looking for a husband for a long time and many men had already proposed to her, but she had refused each and everyone of them. Kikyo was looking for a husband, but not any husband she was looking for a husband with a big position; what better position that a princess?
Kagome kept her thoughts to herself and kept moving around the room with the food tray in her hands. Once or twice she would go and change her tray's content. She was still feeling conscious of the people staring at her. Once she offered her aperitives to Mr. Tashio and before he could accept or refuse she was escorted (actually it was more like dragged) away from him by Mrs. Mikado.
-Go and help serve the dinner- she ordered Kagome and turning around she announced –The dinner is going to be served. Let us all go to the dining room and take our seats- and with a well-placed look directed to Kikyo she grabbed her husband arm and let him guide her to the room.
-Mr. Tashio… excuse my forwardness… can I call you Inuyasha?…would you like me to escort you to the dining room?- asked Kikyo with so much charmed that if Kagome or Sango were there they would be amazed to see that there wasn't any honey dropping from her lips.
-I will be honored if I let you escort me to the room Miss Mikado- answered Inuyasha but he skillfully ignored the request of Kikyo to be allowed to call him by his first name.
-Please call me Kikyo- and grabbing him by the arm he escorted him to the room with a smug smile. Don't think you are going to be safe from me Tashio Inuyasha. I always get what I want, and I want you. With this thought on her mind she escorted the not so unsuspecting prince to the dining room.
