Chapter 4

Hallway Mistakes

The next couple weeks at the Taisho Castle were a time of uncertainty for Kagome. Sesshomaru is not acting his normal self, and neither is Inuyasha. There is some light at the end of all this 'weirdness', though; next week all the surrounding Lords and Ladies are invited to Inuyasha's welcome home celebration and Kagome's parents are coming for a visit. How wonderful, she thought sarcastically; and they have a surprise for Kagome and Sango as well!

…………

Kagome looked over the letter, which her parents sent to her, one last time before getting dressed for her morning training session with Sango and her grandfather. For some odd reason, the old man felt compelled to train them extra hard this week; no matter. Kagome donned her usual outfit and weapons and left the room. After being her almost two months now she has become accustomed to all of the quicker ways of going places, but this morning she wished that she had taken another way; the sight before her is rather erotic?

Sesshomaru couldn't take the sexual pressure, Kagome put him in. Every time she defied him, his beast went crazy with need. He refused to relieve himself, and refused to go to a whore as well. That made for an interesting situation. Today, the chamber maid changing in his room looked rather nice. Before he realized what was happening, the stupid wench offered herself to him. Who is Sesshomaru to deny himself this one pleasure; only he refused to take her into his bed; that is a place for 'his' future Lady only, so he led her to an old pathway that is not used any longer. Or so he thought.

Once they reached their destination, the servant girl turned to Sesshomaru with a meek expression on her face. "My Lord, what would you like me to do?" She asked.

The sexually frustrated Sesshomaru spun the girl around to face the wall and pulled her kimono up from behind. "Stay still and shut up." He ordered. He started to work a fine rhythm. The servant wasn't exactly 'tight', hell she might have even fucked half of the guards, but there was enough friction there to get him off. Sesshomaru closed his eyes and prepared for his 'send off', but it was not to be. Suddenly he heard a voice.

"Well." Kagome started. "I have seen many things, but I have never seen people in the act of actual sex." She said amused. Kagome had taken her 'faster' route to training only to find Sesshomaru 'busy' with the servant.

A look of horror crossed Sesshomaru's face. Yes… He could not hide this one. The woman that he planed to woo and submit to him just caught him fucking someone else. He stopped.

Kagome watched as Sesshomaru stopped his assault on the servant girl's ass. "No please continue." She said with a mock reassurance. "Now that I have seen this 'act', especially preformed by you Sesshomaru, I am sure that nightmares will haunt me for the rest of my life." Kagome continued down the hall way as if she saw nothing.

Sesshomaru hastily pulled away from the girl and push her down. After a few moments he heard loud laughter coming from down the hall, and became enraged. The little Bitch was laughing at him! He turned his narrowed eyes toward the servant girl. "Go home, and never return." Sesshomaru watched as she got herself together and added. "If you return; I will kill you." He could feel a headache coming on, and had a feeling that Kagome would be the cause.

…………

"Why am I the only one that doesn't know where Kagome is from." Inuyasha whined to his father. "If everyone else around her knows then I should too!" he demanded.

Maybe he should have left the boy up on that damn tree, an irritated Toga thought. He sighed. He had no real reason for not telling him. Well the only real reason he could think of, was to give Sesshomaru the advantage in courtship; should he decide to ask her father. If Inuyasha doesn't know she is of noble birth, then whatever claims he makes won't be valid. "You don't know because I would like to introduce you to your savior properly along with the other nobles."

Inuyasha looked at his father a bit confused.

"I would like to introduce her to you and all of my allies at the same time boy!" Toga didn't know of any mental deficiencies in his family line, but Inuyasha most defiantly has one. Maybe from his mother's side, he assessed. "Leave me be, boy." Toga went back to his work and Inuyasha left in an annoyed huff.

When Inuyasha left the room Toga's head quickly snapped up. "Kagome is from his mother's homeland." He said aloud. That is the problem. Inuyasha has no idea that the current rulers are not of his mother's blood line.

…………

Dinner at Taisho castle hasn't been the same since Toga's little suggestion or Inuyasha's return.

Sango looked at the empty seat beside Kagome. "Who is sitting beside you Kagome?"

"I thought you were!" Kagome shot back; annoyed to no end that Sango would choose to sit across from her. "Why are you sitting there anyway?"

"No reason." Sango replied. "I just wanted to change my view."

Kagome turned her nose up at the obvious 'Lie' and looked at her host. "Toga-sama, are we the only one's eating dinner tonight."

He looked at Kagome in interest. "No. Your grandfather will be late and the other two, well…."

Kagome and Sango giggled.

At that moment, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha chose to show up; both with eyes on the free seat beside Kagome.

The ever observant Kagome noticed this. "Excuse me, but I am saving this seat for Grandpa." She announced.

That little fact slowed Sesshomaru down but not Inuyasha, Inuyasha took the seat without a second thought. "Hey Kagome. Mind if I sit here?" He asked; ignoring her statement.

"Yes I do mind!" Kagome stated. "Please move."

"Thanks for letting me sit here." Inuyasha pulled his chair up to the table. Again, he ignored Kagome huffing and crossing her arms.

Dinner was the usual battle of wills between Sango, Kagome, and Inuyasha. Sesshomaru chose not to participate, while Toga and Grandpa just watched.

Finally Sesshomaru noticed Kagome was getting ready to leave; the first one actually. Completely forgetting about the morning's incident, he decided it was time to talk with Kagome. Just have a nice walk like people courting normally would. "Kagome, would you care to walk with me."

Toga had to hide the smirk on his face. His son actually listened to him! HA!

Kagome gave Sesshomaru a coy little smile. "No thank you." She stated calmly. "Why don't you walk with that servant you were fucking up against the wall this morning?" Kagome walked out of the room. She didn't look for reasons to embarrass Sesshomaru, but did he really think she is that stupid.

Toga inside smirk of happiness turned into one of pure loathing. Surly both sons can't have a mental defect! Well… he is wrong. He pushed his plate away and stood up. "Sesshomaru, in my study now!" Toga commanded.

If Sesshomaru could register shame, it would be now. He had forgotten about his earlier transgression; now he is going to pay the price. Damn, damn, damn!

ssssssssssssssss

A carriage stopped in front of the Taisho Castle gates.

Jin looked over to his wife. "Sakura, are you sure you want to do this here?" There was a long pause. "There will be many here who will witness this."

Sakura looked at her husband. "I know, but that is what we want. Kagome is nearly nineteen." She moved over closer to Jin. "You explained to me long ago, that Kagome needed a powerful husband; be him demon or not. I am an Exterminator and it was hard to accept at first, but I see your meaning now." Sakura caressed his face. "We will only test her, like in the past, but that should be enough to gain her favorable attention."

He sighed. Of course his wife knew nothing about the 'arrangement' he and Toga worked out in the last battle, but she really didn't need to know at this point. Still he didn't want anyone interfering. So Jin sent a letter to Toga explaining the situation, and he agreed saying 'Sesshomaru could use all the competition he could get'.

"Maybe we can get Sango some attention as well." Sakura added happily as the gates opened.

…………

Toga, along with Sesshomaru, stood outside of the castle waiting on the carriage to stop. He glared over at Sesshomaru. "No more mistakes, boy. Not while I have guest."

Sesshomaru readjusted his jaw. The talk that he thought he was going to get never came a week ago; instead he received a beating he will not soon forget. "Yes father." He answered dryly. Sesshomaru silently watched at Lady Higurashi emerged from the carriage followed by her Lord.

"Hello Toga-sama, Young Lord Sesshomaru." Jin greeted.

Toga bowed followed by Sesshomaru. "Please, remember that you and Lady Higurashi are our most honored guest. Call me Toga. We are dear friends; titles are necessary among any of us."

Sakura smiled. "Alright then, just call me Sakura." Her attention turned to Sesshomaru. "How are you? It has been many years since I have last seen you."

"I'm am fine, thank you." Sesshomaru replied.

"I see you have come to challenge Kagome." Toga said smiling at Jin.

Jin shook his head. "No. I could never bring myself to hit my little girls for too long." He admitted pitifully. "Sakura is responsible for the girls' heavy training."

Toga looked at the small woman in wonder. She had to at least in her mid 40's, but she looked no older than the day he first met her. Well let's just say she aged gracefully. He also wondered what the woman could do on the field. "In that case, I am saddened that I will not be able to help you Lady Sakura."

She looked disappointed as well. Then she looked at Sesshomaru. "You know boy, you may be of use to someone yet!" she exclaimed happily. "You can carry the bodies."

Sesshomaru now knew where Kagome got her attitude from. The woman just managed to 'nicely' call him useless, and made carrying bodies sound pleasant. Sesshomaru sighed and was about to reply but was cut off. Apparently the Higurashi's forgot someone was with them. He looked over Sakura's small body to address the teenage boy. "And who might you be?"

Everyone looked back.

A tall slender teenage boy stood tall behind his mother holding a staff. He looked very much like his father, Jin. "I am Souta Higurashi." He stated proudly. "Where is…"

"Mom, Dad, Souta!" Kagome shouted as she ran. She literally jumped into Souta's arms and kissed him on the forehead.

Souta hugged his sister fiercely. "I've missed you, sister. Where is Sango?" suddenly he was attacked from behind.

"Souta!" Sango squealed. "I've miss you dearly!"

"I've missed you as well sister." Souta told Sango.

Sesshomaru turned to leave. He felt as if he might throw-up from all the 'happiness' that the trio is spreading around. Plus his balls hurt. The little Bitch interrupted his fucking session, so he didn't finish and took a beating for it! Humph; soon he will be able to seat himself within her!

Toga noticed his son glaring at Kagome. "Come, let's all go in. We all have a lot to prepare for tomorrow."

sssssssssss

"It's cold out here." Kagome and Sango complained.

Jin shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know why your mother put you in those outfits!" He glowered at the thought of some man watching his daughters fight in those outfits. What in the he is Sakura thinking, he asked himself.

"Let go of each other and stand up like women." Sakura commanded. When she awoke this morning she altered Kagome and Sango's training clothes. They are now wearing something resembling the old body suit, but in Jin's opinion worse. It the top and bottoms are separate. The bottom looks very much the same, while the top resembles something of a half shirt. "I said stand up straight!"

Sesshomaru, who sat in the corner watching with Miroku, silently wondered where the woman from yesterday went to. He looked at all the weapons she carried; among them arrows. He then remembered that she is a master archer. This is going to be interesting.

Sango and Kagome did as Sakura asked and stood at attention. Then they took a stance.

"Good girls." Sakura turned and headed for the far end of the field where the trees are. "Jin, you may start when I am in position."

Jin unsheathed his sword, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. He was threatened into not holding back this morning, so he decided to attack with a vengeance. "Come at me!" He commanded. Jin wondered which one would be foolish enough to actually do what he asked; then again, he already knew the answer.

Sango wasn't foolish but she also knew that there is a predator behind them, so she couldn't stay in one place for long. She prepared herself for the attack she knew was coming from above.

Kagome knew her mother all to well. She was not about to let herself become a target either, so she did the only thing she could think of; go after her father. She charged.

Jin smirked. Kagome would never let him down, but both girls are wrong if they think he is about to let them off that easy.

Sesshomaru watched in jaded interested as Jin began his attack. His eye widened a fraction with recognition. It was like Kagome's attack; only blue flames erupted from the earth and the sky. His eyes moved to Kagome. As predicted, Kagome went back to Sango to shield her from such an attack.

Miroku watched the amazing display of power. Kagome and Sango both held their own. However, the real test began when Lady Higurashi decided to enter the fight.

…………

Toga watched as another coach came through his gates. He watched as the demon and his mate approached. "Ah! Lord Atsutomo, glad you could make it." He greeted.

"Indeed, Toga-sama." Atsutomo replied. "My mate and I are happy to be invited to such an event." A small silence fell between them. "I hope you don't mind me asking, but I smell blood; Human blood."

"Yes. There is some conducting a test on the training grounds today." Toga answered. "You may watch if it interests you."

That was this morning. It is now almost noon and the scent of blood is heavy in the air. Toga desperately wanted to go see what was happening but another guest was now arriving. After this one, he made up in his mind; he is going to see what all the blood is about.

"Lord Taisho." Lord Kouga of the wolf demons greeted. Suddenly he stopped, as he walked up to the elder demon. "Where is all that blood coming from?" He didn't mean for it to come out so rude but how could it not.

He patted Kouga on the back. Toga hadn't seen him since he was a young cub. "Some of my guests are training today would you like to take a look with me?"

"Smells like they are killin' someone not training em'!" Kouga replied. Nevertheless, he followed Toga to the smell of blood.

…………

"Stand up Sango!" Kagome called out. She dodged another arrow and pushed Sango out of the way from taking another. "Sorry."

After Kagome's mother joined the fight, it turned into a blood bath. It became very clear, since Kagome was still standing, that she is not human; however, Sango was having a difficult time; she did not get inherit the stamina that Kagome did.

The assault picked up.

Toga and Kouga arrived in time to see Lady Sakura's fine archery skills. Kagome seemed to be wearing down and poor Sango was on her last leg.

Jin closed his eyes once more. "Kagome!" He shouted. "Feel my Power!"

Sakura shot her last arrow and watched as Kagome flew into a tree. Now it is time to take Sango down! She descended from her place in the tree and grabbed her 'Hiraikotsu'. "Foolish girl. Instead of worrying over Kagome; you should be thinking about ME!" She shouted at Sango. "HIRAIKOTSU!"

Shit! Sango knew it was too late to dodge it and bending over would cause her death, so she had to try and take this one or catch it. The only problem is that she is too weak to hold her own weapon. Sango caught the weapon at the cost of a broke arm, but she didn't plan on Sakura following the weapon and knocking her out.

Everyone watching the private battle looked on as the two parents still stood poised to attack; even with the two girls down. Suddenly, a boy joined the two standing on the field in attack mode. Were they really expecting either of the girls to get up?

……………

Sesshomaru is, to say the least, impressed. He was shocked that Kagome even held out this long. Her show of strength made the thought of bending her to his will all the more pleasurable.

The girls fighting didn't appear to be demons, but they were strong and pretty; especially the one with blue eye like his. Now he needed to know who she is.

While he watched them fight, Toga began to envy Jin for what he has and Sesshomaru for what he is about to get, granted that he doesn't crew-up; for neither of his wife's liked any type of battle. In front of him now were three women that would follow their mates into a battlefield of Hell if they are allowed, and he envied that. Sesshomaru better appreciate what he is trying to give him.

After a few moments, all of the people 'discretely' watching started to turn away and go about their business.

"I'm not finished yet!" Kagome clutched the sword she still tightly held in her hand. "Let's go!" She hollered as she tried to move her broken and raddled body.

Souta smirked. "I'm ready for you sister." He held on to his staff tightly.

"Yes, but are you ready for me?" Sango stood up slowly holding her broken arm. "Kagome, are you ready?"

"You bet!" Kagome replied. "Let's do this."

The onlookers watched in amazement, once again, as Kagome began to glow a blue like her eyes. Soon the glow settled down to a blue flame in her eyes. Kagome ran at Sango, and Sango, broken arm and all, tossed Kagome into the air towards their parents.

The fight began anew.

……………

Inuyasha watched from his chambers. He knew that there is something special about the two of them; about Kagome. He didn't know what it is yet, but he knew that he wasn't about to let Sesshomaru have her. Kagome would be his.

ssssssssss

One by one the guest filed in to greet the returning prince. Sure they were all happy that he was back, but they really wanted to know who was on the field today. Everyone new it was a fellow guest, so where are they?

Inuyasha looked as another unwanted person came down the aisle towards him. This shit has been going on all night and he is just about fed up. "When is Kagome coming?"

Toga threw an irritated look toward Inuyasha. "She is our most honored guest, moron, she will be the last to enter with her family!"

Inuyasha huffed and crossed his arms. That is how he met the next guest.

……………

Kouga looked around franticly for the girl he laid eyes on earlier on in the day. Hopeful she would not be out of his reach.

"Lord and Lady Higurashi." The door servant announced.

Kouga notice four of the people he saw, but the girl was still missing. At least he knows her family name. How? She looks just like Lord Higurashi, and thank Kami he is not ugly!

Jin, Followed by Sakura, Sango, and Souta walked up to the Taisho family. "Hello Lord Taisho. Prince Inuyasha, you may not know me, but my family is happy to see you safe."

The man is right, Inuyasha thought. "What land are you from?" He could try to prod him for information about Kagome.

"This is Lord Jin Higurashi; he holds control over the Central Domain." Toga explained. "Formerly, your mother's homeland."

"You mean…" Inuyasha stuttered.

Toga nodded his conformation. "Yes. Your mother's people are no longer control over the land there." He sighed. "Now for our Most Honored Guest." Toga said as he stood up.

"Lady Kagome Higurashi, Heir to the Central Lands." The servant announced.

Jaws dropped as Kagome made her way to Inuyasha. They could hardly believe this is the same girl… well woman that they seen on the training grounds under a day ago. Kagome looked flawless. She politely bowed. "Hello Inuyasha!"

Time seemed to stop and four pairs of eye seem to bore holes into Kagome. The question is now, who will approach her first.

Tell me what you think!
