Note: Hey, my loyal fans, how have you guys been, here is that next chapter im sure you have waited for ages now. Enjoy!
Once in the ballroom Sesshomaru and Kagome had entered the upstairs part of the ballroom,
"Are you ready?" Sesshomaru asked behind two big double doors,
"As ready as I will ever be," Kagome coolly, Sesshomaru could smell the stress and tension she held inside.
"This is practice day, hopefully after today it will calm you down," Sesshomaru explained, he cracked the door to tell Inuyasha it was time by only nodding his head.
"Presenting the daughter of Inu no Taisho, Kagome Higurashi," Inuyasha shouted, the butlers opened the doors and Sesshomaru and Kagome started to move across the floor and descend down the stairs. Inuyasha was at the bottom of the stairs waiting for them, she saw Miroku and Sango off to the side smiling. Kagome was holding onto Sesshomaru's arm for dear life but her footing in the heel slipped and she fell on it.
"Shit," Kagome growled,
"Are you alright?" Sesshomaru bending down,
"I can't do this, I will wind up making a fool out of your family," Kagome trying to stand but as soon as she put pressure on her foot she was about to fall again, Sesshomaru caught her and eased her down to look at her ankle.
"Kagome, we will get this right, this is our plans for the whole day, tonight this Sesshomaru has the perfect thing for you," Sesshomaru examining her ankle, Kagome winced.
"Your ankle is broken, you'll have to heal yourself," Sesshomaru glancing in her eyes.
"Could I not just go barefooted," Kagome growled as she was self healing her ankle,
"We will get you some slip ons and things will be better, for now, we are going to start over and you will do this barefooted," Sesshomaru sitting by her,
"Are you alright," everyone crowding around her.
"I am fine, I healed it," Kagome sighed,
"If it helps you look gorgeous," Miroku extending a hand out to help her up. Kagome smirked,
"I believe you are in enough trouble as it is with Sango," Kagome standing with the help of the railing. Miroku blushed a little as he shun away from Sango fearing he may get hit.
"No, Miroku is right you are very pretty," Sango smirking,
"Yeah well I don't think anyone will think that unless I do this without any flaws," Kagome huffed,
"Honey, its alright if you mess up a little, even we are not perfect," Izayoi explained.
"I just, I don't want to cause your family any disrespect by messing up," Kagome explained.
"No, you could never cause disrespect in that way," Izayoi explained giving Kagome a soft smile.
"I want things to go smooth tomorrow night," Kagome frustrated,
"Calm yourself, we will try again, till you get this right," Sesshomaru strongly.
"Yes, of course," Kagome heading back up the stairs with Sesshomaru, they did the walking down the stairs several times and then Sesshomaru did his dance with Kagome but she didn't know the least about ballroom dancing.
"Okay, lets try the simple box step waltz, then we'll go to the computer and see if we can't teach you this dance," Sesshomaru coolly. Kagome nodded as they began the simple box step waltz that she would be dancing with their father. With success she managed to get the dance down in an hour,
"Very good," Sesshomaru bowing, Kagome tried to curtsy but she stumbled at it.
"We have to work on that too," Sesshomaru running his claws through his hair, Kagome sighed,
"This will be the hardest day of my life," Kagome mumbled.
"Hey Shippo, you're just in time, you are a miracle worker with teaching ballroom dancing, Sesshomaru is going to be doing the Dream Waltz with Kagome at the ball tomorrow night, please, we really need your help," Inuyasha explained.
"No, the stupid failure of a miko over here needs your help," Kagome growled,
"I never said that, Kagome, you are far beyond stupid," Inuyasha trying to help her, she glanced up at Sesshomaru,
"You didn't have to say it," Kagome dragging herself up. Shippo came over,
"Izayoi, bring in the music, by the end of the day we will have Kagome being the bell of the ball," Shippo grabbed her waist and hand and started to do a fast waltz with her. She was all over the place, Shippo quickly stopped before either of the two were hurt.
"I see we will have to take this slowly, good thing I brought my ballroom tapes, they will come in handy, I guess while we wait for the music we'll go watch these videos, come along dance partners," Shippo shouted to Kagome and Sesshomaru, they grumbled and followed the family's long time good demon friend to the library to watch the videos. By the end of the day Kagome was ready for the big day. Izayoi had took numerous pictures of her sons with their new sibling, they were all cute together but she saw the way Kagome and Sesshomaru looked at each other, it was the same look that she had given her husband countless of times before, she could tell they loved each other, no matter how hard Kagome and Sesshomaru tried not to admit to themselves they were in love and Izayoi knew it.
