"What is this?" Kagome fingered the box that Sesshomaru had presented her with. Gingerly, she opened the box and gasped at the kimono inside. It was a simple one, white with a red hexagonal pattern interspersed throughout. The hem was dotted with what looked to be cobalt crescent moons. She pulled it out of the box and then fingered the obi that lay underneath the kimono. The obi was yellow but frayed into an indigo blue at the hems. She thought it was beautiful. Behind her, Ayame gasped and Kagome wondered what it was about.
"This is the kimono you would wear at the mating ceremony. It is one of three gifts I will give you before the mating ceremony."
"What are the others?" Kagome asked.
"My mark and a piece of jewelry handcrafted by me." Kagome made an oh shape with her mouth and then promptly asked another question.
"They all mean something don't they? Will you tell me what they mean?" Sesshomaru nodded.
