The next day his father stood tall, at the balcony overlooking his massive home and gardens; people, humans, and demons alike started to fill the area. Music played, food was being cooked, and the smell of sweet teas and cakes filled the air.
His father took in a deep breath. "Is it wonderful Sesshomaru,"
He stood, unimpressed as always.
"How did you become sucks a stick in the mud son," His father asked, looking at him; he, of course, did not grace his father with a response "Oi, you get it from your mother, beautiful she is, but you two are a bore."
"I heard that, my Lord," His mother said as she passed behind him,
"I mean it in a loving way, my mate!" He called to her slowly retreating form, she simply waved, unoffended by his father's word, she knew it was true, it didn't bother her.
His father looked around,
"Who do you search for."
"Kagome,"
"Why do you seek her?"
"She stands out; I do not have to seek her much,"
"What about the girl impresses you, father?"
His father smiled. "Out of all the coal and diamonds, she is a rare ruby." His father hands fan out. Humans were coal, demons diamonds, and she was a ruby in them all.
"She is clumsy."
"She is entertaining; she makes life fun; life is too short, Sesshoamru."
What nonsense was that his own father was well over 1000 years old.
"You know what I mean," His father snapped,
He most certainly did not.
"Ah, there she is!"
Kagome walked in with her friends, arms linked. She wore a pink kimono; it was simple, but she wore it well, and on her head was the crown of flowers. He rose an eyebrow at her choice to wear it.
"Kagome! Kagome, my dear!" His father called,
She smiled brightly and waved back,
His father grinned even bigger "If one did not know father, one would think you wished to court her,"
He laughed at that. "If I were younger and my heart not already stole, I would!"
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes,
"Though I did hope she would become my daughter, I thought it would be her that your brother would want,"
No, Inuyasha chose her sister, her cold, uncaring, Miko of a sister; he was an idiot.
"It would seem he wishes not to return."
His father sighed, "She is a free bird anyway; I should have known better."
"Perhaps someone should clip her wings," He stated; his father slowly looked at him.
"Indeed," He said slowly, and that was never a good thing; that meant he was thinking, devising a plan; Sesshomaru quickly looked at him. "No." He simply stated,
"Come on; I can make it happen!"
"Do not mettle father; you know very well you can not force her fate nor mine."
He slumped, "Your right; she would have none of it." He crossed his arms. Kagome was a passive human, but one wrong move and she could become a demon herself. He had seen her fire once or two in his life.
Just then, Inuyasha and Kikyo showed and rushed to greet them. "Father!"
"Inuyasha, so you decided not to run after all,"
Kikyo bowed her head,
His father was way too passive on this.
"You need not fear my son; ask it, and I shall make it so."
"I want to marry Kikyo!"
"Very well, I will arrange it with the matchmaker."
Sesshomaru unfolded his arms; this was an outrage, "You will give in?"
He looked back at his son, and Inuyasha and Kikyo backed away,
"I have no need, Sesshomaru; I have already spoken to the matchmaker; it was her she chose for him anyway."
Sesshomaru looked out at them, now sitting and waiting for their tea. "They do not go together."
"Says who? you?" He laughed, "For someone who can see, you sure are blind."
He didn't understand,
"Nevermind that," His father waved. "Come, the tea ceremony will begin."
He bowed his head and joined his father at the head of the gathering.
"Kagome, dear," Touga called, and she quickly made her way. "Hia?"
"Would you be so kind as to honor us with your help?"
"Of course!" She said,
"Would you please prepare my eldest son's tea seeing as he has no one in his life?"
Kagome glance at him; he glanced at her, unaffected by his father try at teasing.
"Sure?" She said slowly, waiting for the son to reject; he didnt.
