Turning to say good-bye and hugging everyone she noticed Inuyasha was not there. 'Hey has anyone seen Inuyasha?" Looking around.
"No he went into the woods when you and Shippo laid down to rest, and has not been back." Miroku stated.
"Well if you see him...Ah hell, don't tell him anything." With that she took her bag from Sango and turned back towards the inuyoukai and the warrior dressed youkai's. Walking over to them.
"Miko Kagome!" bowed the Inuyoukai. "My name's Seth. I'm an Inuyoukai and will escort you to the Northern Lands. Come, I'll help you and the kitsune pup into the carriage." Seth took her bag and picked up Kagome and Shippo and placed them and the bag in the carriage. Then got into the carriage himself. One of the warrior youkai's came over and lowered the silk fabric that hung in the door. Then she felt the carriage jolt and began to move.
"Seth, are you from the same clan as the Western Lord? And also how long would it take to get to the Northern Lands?" Kagome held a questionable look on her face.
"I'm the same breed of Inuyoukai, but No not the same clan as the Western Lord. We'd be at the Northern Castle in two hours or less. May I ask some questions?" Seth asked.
"Sure!" Kagome smiled at Him.
"How is it that you being a miko that you treat youkai's kindly? Let alone treat the kitsune as your pup? You're not like those other miko's!" Seth asked. {Kagome told Seth the story about her and Shippo.}
"The reason why I don't go around killing all youkai's like one's before me is because I believe that there are good and bad in everyone. Be it human, youkai's, or even hanyou's." She said.
"Say, would you know of the late great inuyoukai that went by the name of InuTaisho would you?" She said shyly.
"Knew him? A lot of youkai's knew him!" Seth gave Kagome a questioned look this time. "Why do you ask?"
"What I was going to ask was what was InuTaisho like? What were his feelings about humans besides taking a human as a mate?" She asked.
"InuTaisho was a great warrior and protector of his lands. He was kind to all those who sought refuge on his lands. But he was swift on his judgment if you done anything against him or hurt his family. As for humans he did not see anything wrong with them. As you said he took a human princess as his second mate who bore him a hanyou son. So you see, InuTaisho cared a great deal. He protected all he cared for!" He said.
The time had passed by.
"Miko Kagome, get ready. We are coming to the steps of the castle." Seth looked out the window of the carriage then back at Kagome. Within a few seconds the carriage was lowered and the silk flap was lifted and Seth got out and helped Kagome and Shippo out.
"Now go up those stairs and you'll be lead to where you'll need to go. I'll take your bag to your chamber." As Kagome turned to look to where Seth was pointing.
Kagome turned and walked up the steps as Seth had said. When she came upon some guards that were wolves.
"Excuse me please. Could you help me get to the place that I'm to be at?" She asked politely.
One of the guards nodded. "Follow me miss!" The guard turned to the left and walked down the hallway.
Kagome noticed in the hall were male and female guests. She slowly passed them. She could hear whispers from them saying "What's she doing here?" Along with other colorful stuff. Finally the guard reached a pair of ivory double doors were two servants one on each side of the doors. Then they opened the doors for her to walk in. When Kagome walked in, she saw the whole room was filled with many kinds of youkais and hanyous. She had noticed that when she walked in many of the guests stopped talking and stared at her when she heard a male's voice ring out
"KAGOME!" Looking in the direction of the voice she saw Ginta.
"Kagome your here! It's great to see you and Shippo. Kouga will be happy to see you here." Ginta was happy.
"Many youkais are looking at me as though I should not be here. By the way, where's Kouga anyway?" Kagome looked around the room.
"He's with his father. Here follow me!" Ginta took Kagome's hand and dragged her through the guests to where Kouga and his father were talking with a guest.
"Lord Loren I'd like you to meet a dear friend of mine and your son's!" Ginta said pushing Kagome forward.
"This is Kagome, the miko from the village in Inuyasha's forest, and this is Shippo the kitsune that she takes care of."
Kagome bowed to Lord Loren and Kouga. "Thank You for inviting me. Though I fear there's many of your guests here don't approve of me being here. I heard your guests in the hall say some pretty harsh and colorful things when I walked by." Kagome said with a straight face.
"Did they, now? I'll take care of that and then afterwards you and I along with Kouga will walk to the gardens and talk a bit so I may get to know you." Lord Loren said stepping forward. "Lords and Ladies and fellow guests, there is a human with us who's my honored guest!" He brought her before him facing her to all the guests with his hands on her shoulders. "This miko is the protector of the Shikon no Tama. Her name's Kagome. She's an honored guest as you all are and will be here for both the ceremonies. With that said please carry on!" Lord Loren turned to Kagome now let's go to the gardens.
They walked out into the gardens and she put Shippo down to go play. They walked till they came to a stream that had a 4" post wooden arched bridge {Japanese style}. They stopped and talked.
"So Kagome how old are you? Do you have someone who would be a mate in mind?" Lord Loren asked.
"I just turned 17 years old and No I have no one in mind for a mate. There were two. One just found a mate. Right Kouga? While the other one hurt me. So no I have no one in mind. I would like to find someone who loves me and not because I'm the protector of the Shikon no Tama." She said.
"Well, Kagome! Son! I'll leave you two to talk. I would like to talk more Kagome." Loren turned and went back into the great hall. Kagome told Kouga what happened with Inuyasha and about the last shard other then the one's he has.
"Kagome here!" Kouga held out his hand that held the two shards. He gave her a hug. "Sorry about Inuyasha. I always knew he was a stupid mutt-face!" Kouga tried to lighten the mood.
"Thank You Kouga!" Shaking. "You know Naraku is going to come for me now don't you Kouga! I have a bad feeling something very bad is going to happen during that battle!"
Just then Ginta came running over. "Ah! Kouga could I talk to you a second!"
Kouga walked over to Ginta."What is it Ginta?" Ginta leaned in and whispered in Kouga's ear.
"Inuyasha and that dead miko just showed up!"
"WHAT!" He growled. Kagome stay here in the garden!" Kouga and Ginta ran back into the great hall.
Kagome was left alone in the garden. She stood there on the bridge looking up at the stars and the moon. When she heard "Wouldn't you say this is a lovely night?"
Kagome turned around to see Sesshoumaru walking towards the bridge.
"Hello Sesshoumaru! It's good to see you again! I didn't know you'd be here for this!" She said looking at him.
"I have to be here because the Lords of the lands have to be at ceremonies like these. So I hear your staying for the whole thing as well!" Sesshoumaru said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Yes, because I'm friends with Kouga. But don't know why for the find a mate ceremony. I don't know why I'm staying for that. I mean I'm human No youkai would want me as a mate!" She said as she heard Shippo come up.
"Momma, I'm hungry. Could we eat something? Oh! Hello Sesshoumaru. Where's Rin?" Shippo asked.
"Rin's in our chambers asleep. Jaken's watching her. Here, I'll walk you to the dinning hall." He turned and they followed him. In the great hall they saw Kouga and his father talking to someone.
"Sesshoumaru, I need let Kouga know where I'm going so he doesn't get worried" She said walking to Kouga. Sesshoumaru followed her.
"Kouga I'm taking to get something to eat." She then looked and saw Inuyasha and Kikyo.
"Inuyasha what are you doing here?" She asked him.
"We've come to congratulate Kouga. But not here for the find a mate ceremony because I have the ONLY Mate I'll ever need." Inuyasha smirked.
"Well the invitation said all. Well enjoy yourselves. So if Lord Loren, Kouga if you don't mind please excuse me I need to get Shippo some food." She bowed and left.
"Momma, don't let Inuyasha's words get upset. Besides you can find many suitors a million times better then him." Shippo hugged his mother.
"Thanks Shippo, you're right! At least that way we don't have to worry about any degenerate air headed pup's running around getting into any trouble." Kagome and Shippo laughed. They came to the dinning hall and Sesshoumaru opened the door for them. They ate some food and since it was late Sesshoumaru walked them to their chamber's to sleep. They found out their rooms were next to each others.
"Sesshoumaru-sama, thank you for walking us to our chamber." She said as she yawned.
"You're welcome Kagome!" Sesshoumaru nodded and turned. "Would you grace me the honor of having breakfast with me in the morning? You, Me, Rin, and Shippo that is?"
"Sure what time?" Kagome asked.
"I'll have Rin come wake you both up." Sesshoumaru looked at her waiting for her to answer.
"That would be fine. Well, good night Sesshoumaru-sama!" Kagome yawned and shut the door.
"Kagome-chan, Shippo-chan wake up it's time for breakfast. Come on Sesshoumaru-sama is waiting in the dinning hall. Get up and get dressed. Rin's hungry!"
Rin was jumping on the futon. So Kagome and Shippo got dressed. Kagome put on a 'Pale flesh kimono with a Bleeding Heart and light blue tears falling around the heart, with a red obi. She took a hold of Rin's and Shippo's hands and walked to the door. She opened it and walked down to the dinning hall.
"Kagome-chan, after breakfast, can you take us to the gardens so we can play and you can tell us stories? Pleeeeease!" They asked together.
"If it's alright with Sesshoumaru, then sure. But Rin you have to ask him since he is the one who look after you!" Kagome smiled down at Rin.
They walked into the dinning hall.
"Sesshoumaru-sama, I got Kagome and Shippo up as you had me to." As she wrapped her arms around his leg. Sesshoumaru patted her head.
"Rin sit here!" He waited for her to sit and pushed the chair in for her. I'll get the food for you." He said. He then looked over at Kagome.
"Shippo sit here and I'll be back. Keep Rin company." She turned and Sesshoumaru and her walked and got the food. Then came back and sat down to eat.
Sesshoumaru stepped closer to push Kagome's chair in. Then he sat next to her. "Kagome if you'd be so kind to allow this Sesshoumaru the honor to say you look beautiful this morning!" He said with a hint of sweetness in his voice.
"Thank you, Sesshoumaru!" Kagome's cheeks got a hint of red in them as she blushed.
They did not hear the door open and Inuyasha and Kikyo came walking into the room and walked close to the table.
"Sesshoumaru-sama… after we eat breakfast, Kagome said she's going to take Rin and Shippo out to the gardens and she'd tell us stories and play." Rin smiled.
"No Rin you asked me and I told you to ask Sesshoumaru-sama if you can. Then if he said yes then I'd then take you outside!" Kagome corrected her.
"Ahhh… don't this look so sweet, Kikyo. A TaiYoukai and a human miko sitting down and getting along. They almost look like a perfect family." Inuyasha started to laugh as they walked over to get some food.
Kagome lowered her head with tears in her eyes and pushed her chair away from the table and stood up and ran towards the door. But stopped and turned seeing the room full of guests and Inuyasha and Kikyo was by the food tables filling their plates. She spoke up "Inuyasha… SIT BOY!"
Seeing that Inuyasha landed on the food table that he was by and breaking the table with all the food falling on him. All the guests in the room including Sesshoumaru, Rin, and Shippo laughing at the hanyou.
"You'll pay for that Kagome! Mark my words you'll pay and pay dearly!"
Inuyasha growled out his warning.
She opened the door and ran to her chamber with tears in her eyes. Getting to her chambers, she opened the door and took her shoes off and went over and laid on the futon in a fetal position with her head buried in a pillow and cried.
