#6 – Courtship

The first time, it was rice and meat.

Kagome just stares. Just why were sacks of rice and meat piled in front of Kaede's house? It didn't make any sense.

"For the lady Kagome-sama," the messenger explains, as if that would explain everything.

Kagome just blankly repeats, "For me?"

"Yes, milady. From the esteemed Sesshomaru-sama."

The second time, it was a bounty of fruits and vegetables.

"Because milady seems to enjoy fruits," the same messenger explains, his eyes twinkling in humor.

"Yes, but…but…I can't eat these all!"

The third time, a chest full of expensive silks, all cut and embroidered by hand. Kagome gasps and she takes one out, and looks at Kaede with confused blue eyes. "Kaede-baba, I don't understand. Why all these gifts?"

"'Tis for courtship, child," Kaede chides gently, and looks at her with a bemused expression when Kagome looks flabbergasted. "Child, do ye not know of youkai courtship practices?"

Kagome chooses not to respond, mumbling a garbled reply as she looks down at the fabric.
