Chapter 18.

After hours of the last preparations for the ball, everything was finally set up, and the first guest were beginning to arrive. Sesshoumaru was already in the ballroom, together with Akio, and Akira. He was greeting everyone together with Akio. And was unpatiantly waiting for his mother and Kagome to show up. He was amazed how the two woman could get along immidaitelly.

*flashback*

Kagome and Sesshoumaru were walking towards his mother's room, so they finally could meet eachother properly. They stood before the door, and Sesshoumaru knocked softly on the door. He opened the when he heard a ''come in'' from his mother. They stepped inside, Kagome bowed towards the demonness and smiled. The dogdemoness smiled back.'' Sit child, i want to get to know you better sit before me''. She told Kagome, and Kagome did as she was told. The woman bowed slightly her head.'' I am Sesshoumaru's mother, but please call me Satori''. Kagome nodded, and began to relax, this woman wasn't that bad as Sesshoumaru told her to be.'' Yes, lady Satori. If it is that what you desire''. Kagome said with a small smile. Satori smiled back.'' Tell me, Kagome. So far i have heard the rumors, it is you First loved my mate's other son, the halfdemon, Inuyasha is this correct?''. Satori asked, with curius eyes. Yes she had heard it, and because of that wanted to know if the girl really had feelings for her son. Kagome was suprised at the question, but nodded in understanding.'' Yes, milady. I loved Inuyasha, and still do. But now i only love him as a bestfriend or maybe a brother, i could never see him that way again. Not after everytime he betrayed me. And after i realized, i was in love with Sesshoumaru, i also realized that Inuyasha's betrayal didn't hurt anymore''. She paused, and then spoke further.'' I think milady, that you know this feeling i had. Because your mate did the same, did he not? And afterall of that, you are still the strong mother for Sesshoumaru. I need to say milady. I am happy that Sesshoumaru doesn't have much things of is father. I think he is far more honorable then to cheat, and leave me in dark of it. if he tires of me. He will say it to my face. And will not torture me with knowing he is off somewhere with a woman, that i don't probably know, happy and all, while i don't know the reason that he isn't happy with me anymore. I can says this milady, your son, is perfect. And has earned his name, 'the killing Perfection'. I will try my whole life to please him, and hold his interest. As long as i can''. Satori was shocked, stunned, suprised, call it whatever you want. But she couldn't believe it, this woman, has been thrrough so much, and even understood her! She was so wise for her age! She also had a low self opinion. That's something she didn't like. This girl shouldn't have such a opinion about herself. She deserved more. And Sesshoumaru thought also of that.'' Kagome, This Sesshoumaru shall not tire of you, ever. This Sesshoumaru wishes to mate you, en mating is for eternity, Kagome. Don't even think of that i would tire of you. I shall show you how much more worth you are, that i promise you, my Kagome..''. sesshoumaru whispered the last part, and Kagome smiled at him and turned to Satori. Satori couldn't almost, almost, believe his words, if he hadn't said it before her own eyes. But she knew he meant it. And then she realized, she would be the perfect mate for Sesshoumaru.'finally! I think i could get along with this woman just fine, First she isn't after Sesshoumaru for his money or his title. And she understands me. And did she compliment me on my upbringing of my son. No one did that, not even the other ladies. She would make a fine daughter-in-law. And i will make sure that she will be mine daughter-in-law. One way or another'. Satori thought as she looked at the girl before, and then smiled.'' Kagome, i know now for sure now you will a fine daughter-in-law''. She said. Kagome blushed, but the smiled.'' Milady may i ask something?''. Kagome asked. Satori nodded, for her to continue.'' Well i wondered, if those markings on your face, and Sesshoumaru's, are that birth Marks or is that done with some kind of make-up?''. Satori burst out of laughter, this was the First time someone asked her that!'' no they are birth Marks, they show poeple we are of Royal blood, and the moon means, that person is the true First heir to the House of the Moon. But why do you ask?''. Satori said between giggles. Kagome blushed.'' Well as you know, tonight is the ball, and i thought if it was make-up, i could have asked you milady for my make-up. But that seems to be unable..''. she trailed off. Satori beamed up, oh she would like to doll up her future daughter-in-law, or any girl in that matter.'' Oh no, Kagome dear, i am very good with make-up. I would love to do it for you tonight, believe me, the people will not be able to take their eyes of you!''. Satori said. After that, they left the room together, Sesshoumaru following the two woman, stunned. He shook his head, and looked at the two woman that were in their own conversation about something, smiled, it was easier then he had thought.

*End Flashback*

Sesshoumaru was still waiting for her, he began to feel irretated, why would you ask? Well the whole room was filled with the scent of arousel of the females that desired him, and he began to be annoyed after a few woman lustfull glare. Damn it! didn't these woman had something beter to do, if this was going to continue he was going to kill one of them. And then at the moment he would have snapped, the doors opened and there was an anouncement .'' Lady Satori Taisho, Lady of the West, and the House of the moon. And Lady Kagome Higuraishi, the Shikon Priestess''. Was anounced. And Sesshoumaru turned and First saw his mother, she saw him look at her, and then smiled, and stepped away, to reveal Kagome. And true to Satori's words, no one could take their eyes of her, especially Sesshoumaru. Who had only one thought in his head.
