Chapter 11:

The Goddess of Love sat in the library reading a book just to humor herself. She has been living before Earth was brought into existence. Both, Kagome and Sesshomaru thought it was best for Aphrodite to be placed somewhere no one has access to without their lord's consent. It was Sesshomaru's private library. They wanted to avoid any prying eyes and ears as much as possible.

****FLASHBACK****

Kagome was now in her room waiting for Sesshomaru to come and fetch her. She was very nervous about the meeting that will be commenced in a few hours and she felt that she would mess up the lessons she had learned for only two days. Deep down she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen, but she thought it was her nerves due to the fact of the other lords and their mates visit. It has been awhile since Kagome had trained, but she can still hold her own if need be. 'I will have to ask Sesshomaru if I can start training within his dojo after this whole ordeal with this meeting,' she thought then another thought came to mind. 'How would they feel knowing that Sesshomaru took a human as a potential mate?' Kagome prayed that all will go well and she doesn't ruin anything that will occur with the others visitation.

She paced back and forth trying to calm her nerves, but then she decided to meditate the way Miroku had taught her years before her sudden disappearance after the defeat of Naraku. Kagome sat on her bed and crossed her legs careful not to wrinkle her beautiful kimono. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths to steady her breathing, so that she could clear her mind.

Ten minutes into her meditation, Kagome heard a knock at her door. She stood up and brushed the imaginary wrinkles from her kimono with her hands. She took a few steps towards the door; the way the fox demoness had taught her, and slid open the shoji to reveal her visitor.

"Hello Lord Sesshomaru," she greeted, "before we stand to wait for the others, don't you think we should take Aphrodite somewhere that she cannot be discovered?"

"Hn," he replied as he looked at her physique. 'She wears that kimono very well,' he thought as he guided towards The Goddess of Love's bedchambers.

As they approached their said destination, the door opened just before Kagome could knock to alert the goddess that someone was at the door. 'Well she is a goddess after all,' Kagome thought as she became out of her stupor.

"What do I owe the pleasure of this visit," Aphrodite asked with her bell like voice.

The miko felt a little bad about not being able to visit and talk to Aphrodite as she should have. It was always about Hades and anything else that had something to do with him. She wanted to get to know the goddess on a personal level instead of business all the time. She also felt that she has a connection somehow with this higher being, but she just could not figure out why. 'After the meeting I am going to spend some time with her,' Kagome thought, 'Maybe we can even become friends.'

The goddess never really had any visitors and she only stayed in her room until she was called. Only a few knew of who she really is. It really didn't bother her much, because she tried to figure out how she would tell Kagome of the secret she has not yet revealed. She had a feeling it would be very soon.

"It would be best to place you somewhere that you cannot become detected," the taiyoukai mentioned, "I have a private library that you should be able to reside in until this meeting with the other lords is over," he finished.

"I know you are a goddess and can probably hide your aura and maybe even disguise yourself, but we want to take necessary precautions," Kagome added with a soft smile.

"I understand," Aphrodite responded as she returned the smile towards Kagome. "Show me the way." 'It is obvious these two are destined to be together,' she thought.

****END FLASHBACK****

As the goddess finished pondering about what had transpired not too long ago, she immediately turned pale as she felt a familiar presence and glanced towards the door. "He is here," she whispered. 'Kagome, my child, please be careful.'

------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

"It can't be," she whispered to herself, but Sesshomaru heard her.

"What do you mean," the demon lord asked as he watched her face change from worry to determination.

"I will tell you later," she whispered back and regained her posture and nerves. 'I will not show fear and head into battle without a plan,' she thought, 'I will wait and see what will happen.'

"Very well."

The miko could not believe at what she was seeing. She would have never known he would show up like this, but then again Aphrodite did say he has many tricks up his sleeve. Kagome believed that if it was the time for battle, then he would have already started to destroy many things and trying to kill her and Sesshomaru. 'Taking him by surprise would be an idea, but I do not think I am strong enough to even damage him; not even Sesshomaru. Aphrodite did also say he was the third strongest god.'

Kagome thought it was best to just wait and see what things will occur during the meeting, but his dark aura was putting her a little on edge. Sesshomaru could sense there was something on her mind and he will find out very soon. He squeezed her hand a little for reassurance a minute before the first lord and his lady approached them.

"Sesshomaru my boy," the Northern Lord greeted, "It's been a while since I have seen you," he said with a smile; then his eyes glanced over to Kagome. "Ah, so you have a potential mate already and you didn't bother to tell me beforehand," he said with mock hurt and laughed when he heard Sesshomaru growl. "And what is your name," he asked as he bowed slightly.

"I am Miko Kagome, Protector of the Shikon no Tama," she announced as she bowed fully to show him respect.

"A miko Sesshomaru, and with such excellent manners too," he asked as he gave a huge grin. "I am Lord Daichi of the Northern Lands and this is my mate, Etsuko."

"A pleasure to meet you both," Kagome said as she bowed to his mate.

"The meeting will commence in the audience room," Sesshomaru interrupted before his father figure could engage in anymore conversation with the priestess.

"Very well," Lord Daichi responded and walked with his mate to said destination with Shippo and Akahana guiding them.

Kagome could sense that the Northern Lord and his mate would never bring her any hostility. They could be trusted, and maybe can even help with the fight towards Hades. Who knows what will happen next.

Sesshomaru was already becoming agitated and the meeting has not even started yet. The gathering was not only to discuss the matter of him not having a mate, but to also update the alliance of their treaty, which should not take long. The taiyoukai hoped the conference will end quickly and will rush through it if he has to. He has no doubt Kagome will show them she is suited to be by his side. She is more powerful than any other priestess he has ever come across. It's the eastern lord that he has to watch, the other lords are great allies to the west. He never did like him; he only tolerated him because he was a lord. He always had this sinking feeling that the Easter Lord was up to something.

"This is the Southern Lord Fumito and his mate Asayo," Sesshomaru introduced, "this is my mate to be, Miko Kagome."

"Nice to meet you both," Kagome said as she bowed.

"Likewise," the Southern Lord replied.

As both the Southern Lord and his mate left towards the audience room, the Eastern Lord stepped up to greet them. "Lord Sesshomaru," he acknowledged.

"Lord Kurai," Sesshomaru growled, "this is my mate to be, Miko Kagome.

"It seems you have followed in your father footsteps after all," Lord Kurai announced as he glared at the miko.

"I assure you that I am not weak," she glared back as her miko powers increased. 'Keep it cool Kagome; we do not know exactly how powerful he is. Today is not the day to commence in battle,' she told herself. "I am sorry for my outburst," she said as she pulled down her reiki and bowed.

"I'm sure you are," the Eastern Lord said rudely as he left and walked towards the meeting room.

"Care to explain that," Sesshomaru asked with his brow raised.

Kagome pulled the demon lord down, so that his ear could be positioned towards her lips, so that she can whisper in his ear. His eyes widened at what she has just told him. "Are you sure," he questioned.

"Yes, he has that same dark aura I seen in my vision. I do believe we should not rush into anything until we know for sure his intentions for coming here. I am positive he does not know we are the ones that are fated to defeat him, but Lord Sesshomaru; it is too early for this battle to start. Do you think he is after Aphrodite?"

"Hn, you are correct in the assumption of the battle being too early," he agreed, "but I do not know if he is aware about Aphrodite. Be on your guard and watch him closely, but do not make it obvious," Sesshomaru warned. "You have done well so far."

Kagome tried to keep her blush down from Sesshomaru's praise as they both walked over to the room where the meeting will start. 'Please stay where you are, Aphrodite,' Kagome thought as she placed on her game face.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

Kouga approached his said destination and he still could not believe he has met the Goddess of Love and what she has told him. He could not fathom the thought of Kagome actually destined to be with Sesshomaru, the Ice Lord himself. It was fairly obvious that the miko was somewhat attracted to the taiyoukai. Her scent explained that. As he went further towards where Inuyasha resides, he saw that the said person and the monk was waiting outside for him once again.

"Did my hateful brother send you off with your tail between your legs," Inuyasha taunted.

"Care to say that again dog breath," Kouga shouted.

"You heard me you son of a bitch," the hanyou bellowed as he pulled out his Tetsusaiga.

"Is Kagome fairing well," Miroku asked with his hand on his dear friend's shoulder to calm him down a bit.

"She is doing more than well," Kouga said as he smirked.

"What do you mean by that," Inuyasha yelled.

"Your brother and I were in battle before Kagome came out to stop us. I have not noticed it until after I was on my way to my den. Her scent smelled of Sesshomaru and arousal," Kouga stated as his smirk widened, "but there was also another scent that was fairly different.

"WHAT," Inuyasha bellowed, "You are a liar!"

"That is right," a bell like voice said startling them, "they are destined for each other."

"Aphrodite," Kouga said as he bowed.
