Kagome's Destiny

 

 

Chapter 6

 

 

Kagome looked in the mirror that was in her luxurious room. `If you could call it a room! It is more like a house in the future!' Kagome thought with awe.

 

She brought her attention to her so-called room. The room was a dark blue with a spectacular view off the high balcony. Her bed was the size of one of her walls. There was a huge dresser on the other side of the room, with a vanity next to it. There was a huge hot spring next to her room that had the most spectacular smelling shampoos that she could ever imagine!

 

Kagome looked once again in the mirror only to see a beautiful demoness. She was in a spectacular kimono that showed off her womanly curves in all the right places. Her kimono was pure, liquid-like black with lush red flowers on it. Around the flowers where the greenest leaves that anyone has ever seen before. She had her hair up that flowed down at the bottom. She had little makeup on with light red lipstick on her lips.

 

`I can't tell that this is I! I look so…so…beautiful! What am I going to do if I have a guy is hitting on me?'

 

She turned around and walked to the door. Kagome was almost at the door when she felt a presence nearing her bedroom. She sensed that it was her father. Soon enough, he opened the door to her room. He did not enter the threshold of the door. He just stared at her with a look of awe on his face.

 

`Wow! Kagome is going to have so many people looking her up. The men are going to surround her and the women are going to give her glares.' Hakito thought secretly to himself.

 

Kagome watched her father look at her up and down. “What are you looking at?”

 

Hakito suddenly jolted out of his thoughts and looked at Kagome as if he just came out of a dream.

 

“What?”

 

“I asked you what you were looking at me for? Well?”

 

“Sorry, I was just thinking that I am going to have to keep the guys off you.”

 

Kagome shook her head as if she didn't want to know what he was talking about.

 

“I don't mean to be rude dad, but I think that you need to lay off the sake tonight.”

 

“Maybe. You might think that I am trying to humor you, but you know that you are beautiful! Your mother will be disappointed that she could not be here to see this.”

 

“I know that mom wanted to be here, but she needed to visit her family before they left her,” she said with a sad tone in her voice. “I have only seen her one or two times. And you and I both know that she never really approved of me. I just wish that I could see her family before they left to the far east. I have never met them.”

 

“Kagome, I know that you wanted her to see you become the new Lady of the East, but I know that she is very proud of you.” he said in a fatherly tone.

 

“Yeah, right! Mother never really approved of me. She always thought that I was not good enough for the title of `Lady'. I just wanted her to be here so I can show her that I am going to be a great ruler for our people. If only she could have seen me with that village. By the way, did the general send the troops to that village as I requested?”

 

“Yes, they left shortly after you told them about the assistance of the villagers. They brought with them food and water. Plus, the materials that they needed to rebuild their homes and crops.” He said matter- a-factly. He didn't say anything about the comments against his mate that was not in the castle.

 

`He didn't say anything about mother. He knows that I am right. She never did like her own daughter and heir to the kingdom.' Kagome thought.

 

Kagome sighed. She walked to her father and stopped in front of him.

 

“Shall we?” Kagome asked as she held out her arm.

 

“Yes, we shall. Wait a minute! I was supposed to offer you my arm not the other way around!” he said as he realized this fact. He took her outstretched arm.

 

“Well, we are almost late and you where taking to long to offer.” she replied. Hakito didn't answer.

 

Hakito and Kagome walked out of Kagome's room and down the hall. Together they went down the hallway that had numerous twists and turns. They soon arrived at a large, exquisite, wooden door. It had several designs on it that showed full moons and the many elements of the planet. It was polished to perfection.

 

Hakito turned to Kagome. “I will be presented first. You know what is to happen next. After this night you will be the official Lady of the Eastern Lands. I hope that you are ready for the many things that are going to await you.”

 

“You have trained me well…father.” Kagome said with a slight wave in her normally confident voice.

 

“You will do fine my daughter!” Hakito suddenly pulled Kagome forward and hugged her. This was a show of affection uncommon for a demon of any stator.

 

“I love you my Kagome no matter what you do. Just you know that.”

 

“I know that dad. And I know that you can not help me after this. I know. I love you too.”

 

Hakito let go of his daughter as the wooden door slowly opened. He walked forward while the footman announced him. Kagome, however, could not hear this.

 

`Am I ready to take on this. I still have to find the jewel shards. I can't stay at home for long.' Kagome thought silently.

 

Suddenly, a sound of an instrument brought Kagome out of her thoughts. Kagome walked forward through the doors with her head held high.

 

“Now introducing Lady Kagome, Princess of the Eastern Lands.”

 

Kagome walked forward to a set of chairs that was at the head of the throne room with a confidence that you would not have expected from the nervous demoness a few moments before. She didn't see the many demons that looked at her with lust and wonder. `I can do this. I will fulfill my destiny!'

 

Kagome stopped a few feet from the throne. Hakito stood in front of the two chairs. “Neal, Princess Kagome.” Kagome did as asked.

 

“Do you, Princess Kagome, accept the title of the `Lady of the Eastern Lands' with all that the title entails? Do you accept the laws of the Land? Do you accept the safety of your people?

 

“I do accept this title and all that goes with it.” Kagome stated plainly.

 

“Then come forward and be seated as such.” Hakito said with pride. Hakito stepped back so that Kagome would pass.

Kagome passed her father. She looked at the right seat in the throne room. `To pass the test I have to be able to sit on the seat without it burning me alive. My power will not save me. I have to prove to the kingdom that I can do as I say. If not then I was never meant to rule over my people. No one of my age has ever sat on this seat and lived to tell about it.'

 

Kagome slowly turned around to face the crowded hall. She sat down with confidence. Nothing happened to her. Suddenly, a golden light shown out around the chair that Kagome was sitting on. The demons in the hall raised there hands to protect there sensitive eyes. When the light finally came down it showed Kagome calmly sitting on as if nothing had happened.

 

“You all are witness to this extraordinary event. I now introduce to you, Lady Kagome of the Eastern Lands.”

 

The hall went in an uproar. The loud clapping in the throne was heard throughout the halls in the castle and surrounding forests. Kagome stood up and smiled at her audience.

 

“Thank you for your support. I will protect my people with honor and respect that they so deserve. I look forward to meeting each and everyone of you. Now, let the ball begin.

 

Soft music began to play. Many demons and demoness started to offer their hands to one another. Kagome stepped down from the throne and started to dance with her father.

 

“You did wonderful, Kagome. I am so proud of you.”

 

“Thank you. I hope that you can continue to be proud of me.”

 

“Excuse me? May I have this dance, My Lady?” interrupted a handsome wolf demon.

 

Hakito stopped and bowed to Kagome. He then bowed to the demon. Kagome swiftly came into the grasp of the other demon when her father left to go and talk to some of their guests.

 

“My Lady, let me introduce myself. My name is Korro. I am the second son to the Northern Lord and Lady. I am related to Koga, who I am sure that you have met. Well, from what you I have heard you know him.”

 

“Yes, I can honestly say that I know him. I haven't met him yet tonight. I plan to meet all of the people here. I hope to get to know everyone who is here. So, how about you?”

 

“I am more than happy to tell you about myself, but I am afraid that it would take the entire night to tell you. How about you and me talk later. I am sure that you have other people to talk to, My Lady.”

 

“I am glad that you are willing to talk to me, but I think that I need to ask something of you.”

 

“I may not be able to do as you request. I will try.”

 

“Okay, can you stop calling me My Lady? Kagome will do.”

 

Korro looked at her as if she was crazy. “Why would you ask something like that? That title shows and tells who you are! Why are asking me?”

 

“Oh, no! I am happy that I can protect my people. I just don't like the fact that everyone is calling me `My Lady'. It is rather annoying. It makes me feel like I am better than everyone else, but the fact is that I'm not! I know that I have the title, but that doesn't mean that my life is better than anyone else's!

 

“Oh, I understand! I will try to remember that.”

 

“Thanks!” Kagome said as she stopped dancing. She got out of his arms and smiled at him. “Thank you for the dance.” Kagome laughed out loud and walked away from Korro.

 

`What is it about her that I completely trust. She is like no one that I have ever known. I will protect her with my life from now on.' he promised himself.

 

Kagome walked away from Korro to a person in the corner. She was in a high-class kimono that was a pure forest green color. She had a small white star on her head. Her hair was a burning red color. She had a tiny figure and a tan complexion. Kagome stopped in front of her with a smile on her face.

 

“Hi, my name is Kagome. What is yours.”

 

The demoness was completely taken back by Kagome's sweet demeanor. `What is she trying to pull?' Deciding to see what she was going to say, Tigra decided to answer.

 

“My name is Lady Tigra of the Southern Lands.”

 

“Oh, so how is your land? Is it as pretty there as I have heard? I have been there, but I haven't had the time to really look at the land and palace.”

 

“I have decided that I like you. You seem very nice for a demon. The Southern Lands are a beauty that I will happily let you come see. I hope that you will come see it.”

 

 

 

And that is what started an hour-long conversation. One hour after their conversation Kagome looked at the other people in the room. “I'm sorry Tigra, but I have to go and meet the other guests. I will talk to you later okay?”

 

“That is fine. I'm sorry for taking you away from your guests.”

 

“That is not a problem. I look forward to talking to you later.”

 

“And I as well, Kagome.” responded Tigra. The two Ladies had long ago agreed to call each other by their first name.

 

Kagome walked away with the unknown trust and friendship from Lady Tigra that she was going to need in the future.

 

Kagome walked around the hall greeting her many guests with a smile and a wonderful personality. Many of the males looked at her with lust filled eyes. Kagome saw this but didn't comment on it. Many of the females gave her glares with the thought that she was there to take away their man. They soon learned that she was not interested. After a while, the female population of the throne room/hall started to get to know Kagome. They soon grew to have respect for the young Lady demoness. Many of the men and women noticed that there was some thing about her that they just had to trust.

 

Kagome finally talked to Koga and finally convinced him that she was not interested in him as a mate. He finally accepted her plea and made sure that she was still a friend. Kagome meet the other lord of the North and South. She met the sons, cousins, nieces, nephews, and many grandchildren of the Northern and Southern Lords and Ladies.

 

Nearing the end of the ball, Kagome walked out on one of the balconies that went directly off the throne room. She breathed in the fresh pine scent that was coming from the forest surrounding the castle.

 

`It is so peaceful here. I can't believe that Naraku wants to destroy such peacefulness.' she thought.

 

“You can come out now Lord Sesshomaru. I know that you are there.” She said quietly.

 

Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands came out of the shadows that he was watching her from. Kagome turned to look at him. His face was blank of emotion.

 

“You are more than likely trying to figure out how I knew that you were there? You are more than likely trying to convince yourself that your scent and aura was not completely covered and that was how I found out that you were spying on me since I have been out here. But I can assure you that you were completely covered up. I just happen to have the ability to sense stuff like that. You can not get rid of the scent of the earth off you that I can't detect. Don't worry, you are not loosing your touch.”

 

“Don't think that you can convince me that you have that much power. You are but my half-brother's female wench. That is all.”

 

“I will not be disrespected by you Lord Sesshomaru! I am a female, but I am not Inuyasha's as you so blandly put it!” Kagome snapped back at him.

 

“I will forgive your transaction against this Sesshomaru this one time. I will not be so friendly for the next time.” Sesshomaru told Kagome with a hard tone in his voice. He seemed as if he was struggling with something in his mind.

 

“What is it that I can do for you Lord Sesshomaru?” Kagome said as if she didn't even hear what he had said.

 

“Tell me how you are here? You were but a miko bitch that was traveling with my half-breed brother.”

 

Kagome looked down at herself as if looking at something. She looked up at Sesshomaru as if she was confused.

 

“What is wrong with you now wench? I asked a question and I don't repeat myself for anyone.” Sesshomaru said impatiently.

 

“Well, the answer is that I am a Miko-Elemental demon. A very rare breed at that. And the second is, since I am not a dog, much like yourself, then how can I be a bitch as you so put it?”

 

Sesshomaru looked at her as if she had just signed her own death.
