The next morning when Kagome awoke Sesshomaru was already gone so she decided to get up and explore a little. I had just gotten when a maid came in. "Lady Kagome..." "Just call me Kagome." " Sorry my Lady but I'm under strict orders and cannot break them." "Well then what is it?" " Lord Sesshomaru has told me to escort you to the Springs and the to his personal study." "Thank you..." " Akane, my lady." "Thank you Akane." She showed me first all the kimonos that Sesshomaru had applied for me. I picked out a blue skylight kimono with a few swans on them. Akane said " Sesshomaru will be most pleased with your pick." " Why do you say that?" " I'll let him explain it to you." "Okay." She led me to the indoor hot springs it was like paradise. When I was done and ready to to his study I started to wonder why he wanted to see me. I walked up to the door and knocked. When I didn't hear anything I said " Sesshomaru, you wanted to see my?" "Come in." I opened the door slowly. He was at his desk working on his papers not even caring to look up. " Yes?" "Well it has come to my attention that by the next new moon I'm to aquire a mate." " What does this have to do with me? " " Well you are the only suitable one I can find." " But I'm merely a human." " I can change that." " Don't I have a say in this?" " Nope, be ready for the meeting this afternoon. You are dismissed. " I left a little confused. I can't believe that I'm going to be Sesshomaru's mate and what did he mean by the only suitable. I had a lot on my mind and wasn't paying attention to where I was going until I ran into the "wall". "Watch where you're going, miko." I thought since we were going to be mated he would at least be nicer. I had a decision I'm going to leave because I couldn't be with someone who didn't love me. Sesshomaru was in his study wondering had posessed him to say that to her, there were plenty of other demons who would be perfect as his mate but he knew she was different.
