The Other Side
Chapter 12
Aren't I pretty?
Inuyasha had been pacing in his room; completely freaked out when he felt such a strong demonic aura. It was weird though; he felt like it was the best thing and the worst, like he knew it wouldn't hurt him or his team but feared it. It was a little after that, that a servant came to tell him that dinner was ready.
Once he got there, he saw his half-brother at the head of the table. That was nothing new; InuKimi was to his right. That was new though; he had seen her on the left on more than one occasion. He blinked to the woman that was on the left and stared. She was magnificent but looked very familiar. Was she Sesshomaru's mate? That would be impossible if Kagome was the intended right? Rin was sitting next to her with Shippo next to her.
He counted the chairs; four chairs down sat Miroku, across from Sango. Not that it was rude or anything; he blamed Sesshomaru and his hatred towards humans. Did that mean he'd have to sit in the middle of that? "Inuyasha, you can sit next to me. You are family after all," InuKimi said, deciding it for him. He sat down next to her, giving half smiles to Miroku and Sango, who nodded back to him.
She clapped twice, servants filing in with trays of food as fast as they could. It was quiet, everyone eating peacefully before Rin thought it was too quiet. "Kagome, I wondering if you'd like to see the gardens after dinner?" she questioned before eating more food.
Kagome giggled as she said, "I would love too, my dear, but it is late, don't you have to go to bed?" Inuyasha choked on his food, flailing his hands around before being able to breathe.
"Kagome?!" he yelled as his friend turned to him with wide eyes. "What happened to you? You're so... different." He didn't know whether or not he liked that. He did admit to himself that she was beautiful in this form.
She rubbed her neck in nervousness. "Yeah, but I'm so pretty now! Don't you agree?" She clapped happily causing InuKimi to smile. She missed the knowing smile she aimed at her son. Sesshomaru was determined to focus on anyone but his mother.
Inuyasha full on blushed at the question; Miroku saved his friend. "I think you look amazing, Lady Kagome," he complemented her with a grin. He yelped when Sango kicked him under the table.
"I don't know if I should be scared or not but thank you Miroku," she said back to him before looking at her plate. "I think," she added under her breath. Only the demons heard her.
Rin giggled. "Lord Sesshomaru doesn't mind if I stay up and plus! If you saw the gardens, you'll feel more at home."
Kagome looked down at the child. "Oh, he doesn't mind, does he?" She smirked in his direction causing him to send a low growl to her. She brightened up after that. "Then we must stay up as long as we'd like."
InuKimi officially loved Kagome; she would do this place wonderfully. It sure has been a while since I played matchmaker, she thought, loving the growl her son sent the woman. He'd have to try harder if he wanted Kagome to be put in her place, that much she was sure of.
