No Denying it

Kagome hurried after him as they entered through the last wall making their way up the path to the castle. He had yet to answer just who he was and yet she did not want to know the answer. She refused to think about the fact that as they entered the castle the guards had saluted or that the array of people they passed were stopping to curtsey and bow. No, she didn't want to know or think about it. This couldn't be happening to her. She mentally growled at her luck.
Toga led them down the halls and right into his courts. He was amused by the change in her scents, awe, disbelief and denial. 'Hmm.' So she was starting to believe, good. They were almost to the courts and although he would like her to look presentable since she was his mate it would not hurt for her to go as is. It was good to see that your Lord and Lady were not above getting dirty; though he was not dirty, he was not presentable either. She was not going to like being shown like this but she would have to deal with it; he had been gone longer then anticipated.
She followed Toga into what she could only assume was the Inu no Taishō courts. It was here that she could no longer deny it as she watched the Lords and Ladies stand, while one small, short, green looking yōkai came forward and bowed. She watched in stunned silence as he informed the courts of his return and stepping to the side, of his recently acquired mate. 'Wait- he's talking about me!' She quickly hid her anger as she tried to brush some of the mud off, trying to make her self somewhat presentable. She warily smiled at those gathered there and was stun at the flash of anger she saw or was it her imagination? Mentally shaking her head she bowed her head in greeting.
Nodding his head at the court he spun around and left, Kagome closely following behind. He was proud that she had not curtsey or lowered herself to them. She had put the pieces together perhaps at the very last minute but still better then after and she held herself as a Lady of the West should, even dirty and all. He smirked internally wondering at the upheaval he had just caused in his courts.
