Hello, all I'd like to thank you again! I know this is like the 3rd time
but I really appreciate you guys. I am very sorry with the delay, I have
been swamped with homework, projects, and lack of inspiration. Well here's
another chapter of romance, cursing, and swearing!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, I don't own a zoo, I have no money, so
please don't sue!
Kagome awoke to a spectacular sunrise. Although the sunrise looked like heaven she realized she was in Inuyoukai hell, as she remembered the events that occurred the night before:
"Yeah I see! I see another useless woman who's just going to get in the way!"
"Useless woman? The only person I see useless is you. We're trying to have a nice dinner and all you can do is pout and complain. The person who has a problem is you!" They were still there and still surprised but Inuyasha who was quite infuriated that a human would talk to him that way was about to throw a punch at the girl, who saw it coming and made a cry for help, but she never completed that cry and the fist was stopped centimeters from the girl's face by Sesshomaru.
"You touch her little brother and I will make sure that you do not live and I don't care if father tries to stop me but you harm one hair on her head and I ensure you will die."
"Feh since when do you care about humans you hypocrite."
"Not like I was really going to hurt that baka ningen anyways!"
"Wasn't going to hurt me? Looked like he was going to kill me" Kagome said aloud.
Just then the door opened and Inutaisho's wife walked in the room.
"I see you are awake. When I was your age I wouldn't have been awake till noon! I am glad you are awake, you should get dressed."
"D-dressed? For what?" asked Kagome, who was afraid they would kill her for her outburst at Inuyasha the night before.
"Why today is the Cherry blossom Festival! Every year the festival is given to honor a beginning and good luck in love. I am very surprised you did not know of this festival, it also honors my husband and his kind ruling of the Western Lands."
"Oh, I'm so sorry I don't know much of the Western Lands and I am awfully sorry that I have dishonored this family with my ignorance" said Kagome, as she bowed down to the woman. "Sorry for what, dear? It was an honest mistake and I am very sure that my husband would not blame you for a mistake. Besides when I first courted Lord Inutaisho I did not know of the Festival either" whispered Lady Inutaisho as she let out a chuckle.
Kagome laughed with the elderly woman. Kagome understood why Inutaisho had married this woman. She was different from the other human women who were strict and stuck-up. This woman was completely different, she had honor and yet she could be fun. Kagome thought about her own mother for a moment. Her mother was kind but she was very strict and she never laughed well, not with Kagome anyway. Oh no, her mother she never informed her mother that she was at the Inutaisho castle for the night!
"Excuse Lady Inutaisho, I must inform my mother that I am still here"
"Don't worry it's been taken care of. My husband sent a messenger to your house since yesterday"
"Oh, thank you so much." Said Kagome now relieved.
"Well, dear let me get something for you to wear come on let go to my room I think I still have my old kimono from when I was your age. It still looks new."
Kagome followed the woman to her room. The halls were beautiful, made of marble and granite, it was truly spectacular. After passing several doors they stopped in front of the room. Kagome remembered the room from the night before. It still had the oak canopy bed and the windows facing the east to the sunrise. It also had the same closet where the woman was looking through the night before and was looking through the very moment.
"Ah. I've found it!"
Kagome looked at the kimono that lay before her. It was even more spectacular than the one she wore before. The kimono was silver with a dragon wrapped around the bodice. The obi was the brightest gold a person could find. It was truly magnificent.
"Well, dear I'll let you get dressed meet me in the dining room. You remember where it is, right?"
Kagome nodded as the woman left her alone to get dressed.
Kagome dressed a quick as she could. She remembered to pin her hair up and take a quick look at the mirror before she went downstairs. When she arrived it was the same scene as it was last night, Inutaisho at the head of the table looking proud, Sesshomaru at his side looking handsome, and Inuyasha at the other side of Inutaisho looking pissed and annoyed.
As Kagome walked down the staircase they all looked up stunned by her beauty and by something else.
"Hey that's my mother's kimono!" shouted Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha I told her to wear it" said Lady Inutaisho
"Well, I won't let her wear it! She comes in here just last night and she has the nerve to yell at me! And then she's wearing the kimono that you got married in! I won't allow this ningen to have her way in this castle!"
"Inuyasha behave yourself I gave her my permission is my word not enough for you, my son?" said Lady Inutaisho almost pleadingly. "Please let her be! She is a kind girl and I know she means no harm so let her be, please, for me?"
"Fine, but if she damages that kimono I will have her head!" said Inuyasha as he left the room.
"Don't worry about him dear he's just a little over protective of his mother."
"Yes, my dear don't worry about him, his love causes him to be irrational at times" said Inutaisho. "Now why don't you wait outside for Sesshomaru to take you to the festival? He'll be out in a little while."
Kagome nodded as she went outside.
Inside the Castle "Sesshomaru, you must not let Inuyasha get to you" said Inutaisho
"Yes, I know but if dares insult my Kagome again I will make sure he does not live."
"His Kagome what am I a piece of meat?" thought Kagome as she thought about the Inu lord said. His Kagome, well if he thinks that he owns me and I like him I'll have to change that.
Sesshomaru walked outside and met Kagome.
"Well, my lovely Kagome, shall we leave?" asked Sesshomaru.
"Yes, of course."
Meanwhile in the castle
"THAT GIRL ACTS AS IF SHE OWNS THE PLACE! How dare she yell at me and wear MY MOTHERS kimono! I'll put that little miko in her place! Although she is kinda of cute when she yells. WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM! Okay that girl is driving me crazy! I've got to get rid of her but how?"...
At the Festival
"It is a lovely day is it not, my lovely Kagome?"
"Yes is quite lovely."
"Would you care for a boat ride along Cherry Blossom River? It is that river for which this lovely festival was named."
Really I failed to see that obviousness moron.
"Of course, isn't that the river which leads into a tunnel?"
"Yes, you have heard of it? Our river leads into a very dark tunnel; it is quite scary so feel free to hold on to me."
Dark? Great no one will see me push you overboard.
"Of course I'll love to p- I mean hold on."
"Well, let's go"
They walked to the river and got inside the boat. As the reached the tunnel Kagome grabbed onto Sesshomaru, who was quite pleased with the sudden warmth. The tunnel was pitch black, a person couldn't see their hand if it was in front of their face. Sesshomaru snuggled closer to Kagome, and felt quite happy with the closeness, until SPLASH
The boat came out on the other side of the tunnel.
"Excuse me, ma'am weren't you with someone?" asked the man in charge of the boat.
"No I was quite alone."
Just then a very wet Lord walked out of the river.
"Lord Sesshomaru, Lord Sesshomaru, let me help you" cried Jaken Sesshomaru's right-hand pain in the ass charge.
"Why, Lord Sesshomaru I did not know you wanted to take a bath" said Kagome in her sweetest voice.
"I did not know either ha ha!" laughed Sesshomaru quite pleased with the girl's craftiness.
Damn he should be angry and screaming for me to leave his province yet he laughs, perhaps there is more to him then meets the eye.
"Well Lady Kagome, I must go to the castle and dry off I suppose my plans for the day have been cancelled due to this freak accident."
"Y-yes I s-suppose they are."
"Well I shall see you in the morning."
"Yes, my lord"
Did I just say my Lord? Am I losing my mind! Kagome screamed at herself mentally. Perhaps I need some sleep.
