"The kimono represents my family colors. The red crest is the family crest for the daiyoukai of the Western Lands- my father's family. The crescent moons you see on the hem are the sign of my mother's family- both sides making up me. The colors of the obi are my chosen colors. As heir, I choose colors to represent me when I take the throne, those are the colors you wear."
Kagome took in the information and sighed. She'd known Sesshomaru was a powerful youkai and that he was heir to the lord of the Western Lands but until that moment she'd forgotten what that entailed. Today, Sesshomaru's status was no longer regarded by humans as one of monarchial standing. But in the youkai world it was. And she suddenly realized that she had agreed to become mates with one of the most powerful youkai monarchs in Japan.
"Is something wrong?" He had noticed her finger the obi and seem hesitant. Was she unsure about the mating or wearing his colors? Kagome wondering what he was looking at noticed her contemplation of the obi in her lap. His colors, she reminded herself. With a smile she shook her head and then spoke.
"No, I'm delighted to be wearing your colors Sesshomaru."
