Sesshomaru parked the bike and Kagome jumped off,
"Thanks for the ride," Kagome hanging the helmet on the handle bars. Sesshomaru nodded,
"You are smart for a human, this Sesshomaru wants to understand how you know so much of our history," Sesshomaru strongly. Kagome shrugged,
"My grandmother told me of stories, bedtime stories actually, she made it seem like they were fairytales," Kagome explained, she walked away, Sesshomaru grabbed her wrist, she didn't turn around though.
"What was her name?" Sesshomaru confused, Kagome knew it would break his heart if he had one, but she held some respect for him to tell him the truth,
"Her name was Rin, there was something that she wanted me to do, she wanted me to find you and when I did, she wanted me to give you something," Kagome looking down at her feet. Sesshomaru was waiting patiently but he felt a pain in his chest, Kagome slowly turned around and reached in the middle of her back and got a book out, she glanced down at it.
"She wanted me to give you this, she had wrote in it each day, she wanted you to have it and to read it," Kagome placing the small book in his hands gently, he stared at the book,
"I do not believe in fairytales, there are no princesses, there are no princes, if there were any princes, one would have found me before I turned against everyone, before I turned against myself," Kagome finally turning and walking away. Sesshomaru stared at her,
~This miko is broken, she feels no more, she has no emotions except for hate, just like this Sesshomaru.~ Sesshomaru thought silently, he looked back down at the small book, he had missed the little girl that had traveled with him so long ago, he had killed the nasty little toad for letting Rin get captured by the dragon demon, even Sesshomaru with his power couldn't find Rin or the demon that had been responsible for the kidnapping of his little ward. It had made him double the ice wall around his heart and he swore he would devote his life in trying to save little children, he knew Rin would have wanted it that way so that's why he joined the police force, for little Rin.
~So she was alive all these years, she had a family and this miko was her granddaughter, she must have mated with a demon to live this long, I wish I could have seen you at least once before you passed to the netherworld, rest easy my little Rin.~ Sesshomaru growled, he felt another small pain in his heart, he knew the little girl had made an impact on him but he didn't expect to be hit with pain in his chest. Putting the book in one of the saddlebags he walked stoically behind Kagome, Izayoi walked over to Kagome,
"I can show you some good stores," Izayoi hanging onto her arm, Kagome didn't like to be touched but for some reason Izayoi was starting to grow on her,
"Okay," Kagome trying not to sound so cold,
"Relax, the boys will calm down soon, and Sesshomaru will be glad that I will be spending a lot more time with my daughter, he doesn't like me very much," Izayoi whispered.
"Izayoi, he just doesn't care for humans and you used to be human that's all, he can't stand me because I'm human," Kagome trying to make her feel better, but managing to stay in her cold stage stoic state,
"I think it has a lot to do with Rin, ever since he lost that little girl he can't manage to sleep, he went into law enforcement to save children because Rin was kidnapped from Sesshomaru, and he kept searching for her but he couldn't find the demon that took her from him, I never knew you were her granddaughter, I guess he will have some sleepless nights now, can you do me a favor, just keep an eye on him for me, he tends to go a little crazy," Izayoi explained. Kagome looked back at him, Kagome stared at his eyes,
~They hold something now, almost as if he had lost something so dear to him, but he also seems exhausted.~ Kagome entering Hot Topic.
"You sure do know style don't you," Kagome smirked,
"Actually there was a dress that I want to get you, I didn't know if you would like it or not, but there it is," Izayoi showing it to her, Kagome wasn't one for dresses or skirts but she loved it, velvet white dress that hung off the shoulders and each sleeve laced together showing off her naked arms, the dress flowed all the way down which would probably drag the floor on Kagome,
"Its beautiful, I do like it but I couldn't accept it, its too much," Kagome thought out loud,
"Nonsense honey, you'll need a dress or at least some dresses when we throw balls for business guests," Izayoi walking toward the counter, one of the women who worked there took the dress for them and followed Kagome and Izayoi up to the counter, Kagome looked around to notice that the rest of the family weren't around.
"They went to get fitted for your birthday party," Izayoi explained, Kagome then knew that her birthday party was going to be huge, she hoped she wasn't going to be the center of attention. Izayoi paid for the dress and carried the bag herself.
"You surprise me Izayoi, I never thought a woman of your statue would be like an ordinary woman," Kagome stated,
"Oh no honey, we aren't arrogant snobs, we are fine people just like everyone else, though if Sesshomaru had his way he would have his servants and he wouldn't dress in such material, he likes the old attire, he also thinks of humans as lowly creatures, they must kiss his feet and beg for their lives," Izayoi rolling her eyes. They got some high heels and some jewelry to wear to the balls, Izayoi had some trouble with a new guy, but Kagome stepped in.
"This is Mrs. Taisho and you will respect this woman," Kagome glaring at the man, another man came over,
"He is new, he had no idea who he was talking to, we are so sorry, please Mrs. Taisho, what would you like to see today?" the man sympathetic,
"Its quite alright, actually my daughter would like to try some pieces on," Mrs. Taisho explained, she giggled at the fact that Kagome stood up for her, Kagome gave her a smirk and started trying on some jewelry that wasn't too big but just right for her frame, Kagome picked out a three tear drop diamond necklace and a pair of simple diamond earrings.
"I like your taste as well, nothing too big or flashy, its very distasteful I think anyways," Izayoi explained,
"Yeah, I don't like to wear anything flashy, its so big that it looks fake," Kagome agreeing with her. They met up with the guys and had lunch,
"So how did you guys do?" Mr. Taisho explained,
"We got her a dress, shoes, and some jewelry for the party, just need to get her some everyday wear now," Izayoi explained. Kagome didn't talk much at dinner, she kept glancing at Sesshomaru though, he caught her eye contact several times, but paid her no mind.
~She must pity this Sesshomaru for the fact of Rin, she must wonder, how I could stand humans if I had a child following me in my travels, or how I could stand to work with humans and protect them if I seem to hate them so much, but I'm sure Izayoi has already explained to the little wench of why I took to the job.~ Sesshomaru explained to himself. Finally lunch was over,
"Hey you want to come to the game room with us?" Inuyasha asked, Kagome looked at Sesshomaru, she never thought in a million years that Sesshomaru would be caught in a game room, she couldn't pass us seeing Sesshomaru playing games.
"Sure, why not," Kagome shrugged,
"You know Kagome is becoming apart of the family, she stood up for me, she was about to jump the new guy at the jewelry store," Izayoi explained to her husband,
"Really, good job Kagome," Mr. Taisho explained as he patted her on the back, she simply nodded,
"Well if you guys are going to the game room go by some stores and get Kagome any kind of clothes that she wants she needs some everyday clothes," Izayoi explained.
"Yeh, we got her covered mom," Inuyasha explained,
"Get on my back we'll make it in no time to the game room," Inuyasha suggested.
"I'll just walk but thanks anyways," Kagome strongly,
"Come on, lighten up sis, you're 16 years old not some old geezer like Sesshomaru here, have some fun," Inuyasha explained.
"Learning is fun and reading, I haven't played with toys since I was five years old," Kagome glancing at Sesshomaru. This time he caught the look in her eye, he walked right up behind her,
"This Sesshomaru can take care of himself, he doesn't need a miko to worry about him," Sesshomaru strongly but softly.
"I'm simply doing what I am told," Kagome turning her head around to speak.
