"Well," Kagome began not liking the fact that she was put on the spot, "Sesshomaru has a lot of business associates who are human right?" At Hatsumomo's nod, she continued. "In order to not harm relations wouldn't it be nice if humans got to congratulate him too."
Hatsumomo had never thought of it that way. During mating ceremonies the only humans usually allowed were those who were family to one of the mates. It wasn't uncommon to hear of receptions thought it had been quite a while since the last one. Mrs. Higurashi however was still concerned.
"Kagome, will we be able to fit that many people on our shrine?" Kagome had thought about that too and then thought about the reputation that Sesshomaru had. He was known to only have a few close associates and so if he didn't invite the entire business world but only those who were important that was enough.
"It's Sesshomaru's guests mother. Plus, don't you think some of my friends should be allowed to come to the reception." The last line seemed to finally sway her mother who sighed and then nodded her head.
