The Announcement and Reactions
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'Sesshomaru' She squished his name into the smallest ammount of space it could be formed into. She found her hands clammy, her mouth dry, and a cold sweat breaking out on her skin. Everyone was silent for a moment. OUt of the three, picking Lord Sessho-Maru had been the last one everyone had thought Kagome-Chan would pick. Yisu merely looked pleased, Niomi and Alienore merely smiled encouragingly at Kagome. Niether of the two had met all of the prospects, but since Kagome had made the decision they decided it was good enough. Kikyo had a wicked smile and kept sliding the obviously sinister look at Inu-Yasha whom was in shock. She did, afterall, want the hanyou. The trio stood slightly slack-jawed. Naraku growled. Hojo, a racoon youkai from the group that Alienore had been flirting with, looked slightly hurt, but then was happy for his friend. He knew that his romantic love was not returned, and was happy that Kagome would be happy.
Sango looked as pleased as Yisu did, but the moment of silence was ruined with a loud smacking sound, and a thud. No one bothered to look, the sound was immeadiatly put under the Miroku category. Naraku was pissed however and wished to make it blantently known, and was about to. Kagome ran her tongue along the inside of her mouth as everyone broke down into whispering after the SangoXMiroku interlude. Inu-Yasha was fuming, Naraku was fuming, Kouga looked deeply wounded, and Sessho-Maru was in shock, but managed to look indifferent at the same time. The mask seemed to help in that area. Sessho-Maru found himself unbelievably annoyed that everyone was shocked, but of course he would not do a thing. Then he glanced at his little half-brother and nearly broke his composure with chuckling. Inu-Yasha was in angry shock, but soon lost his own composure, instantly embarrassing himself.
'WHAT DID YOU SAY WENCH? YOU ARE CHOOSING THAT SHITTY PIECE OF ICE OVER ME!?' Kagome looked half enraged, and on the verge of tears, and near to a nervous breakdown. Sessho-Maru sighed, grabbed his brothers wrist, and dug his claws into it. 'I believe that you are speaking to my bethrothed. As far as her not choosing you...? Well lets just say Kouga and I didn't make her cry as far as I know.' Then he released his brother and went back to his statued self. Kagome looked near to breaking and running, but she appeared calmer, after all that was one less problem. Until of course Naraku growled again. Kagome's eyes darted to him, nervous, but noticing the owner of the growls he bared her fangs and looked at him defiantly.
Hyouga, personally, was just happy it was over, and he had left moments before to inform his Lady-Wife. Kagome's mother was in a sickbed at the moment, thus she had been inavailable of late. Naraku lunged at Kagome and pinned her. Sessho-Maru instantly felt an unwaranted wave of possesiveness run through him and actually growled. People were almsot more shocked at this than the fact that Naraku had pinned Kagome to the floor while she clawed his costume to shreds. Then she shattered his mask and he grinned down at her, she herself instantly realizing her mistake. Not that it mattered.
Sessho-Maru soon found himself running his claws straight down Naraku's back, leaving a huge incision as his deadly claws riped through the fur and the flesh and muscle. The blood coating his fingers, caught. Flexing them as stark silence rang on. Removing his hand from Naraku's back. His cold gaze fell to the smirking, yet writhing Naraku. He flicked his left hand once, the blood splattering from it in the simple movement. His cold gaze was frightening as he looked to Kagome. Her own eyes were red, flickering to blue every now and then as she watched Naraku. All of this happening in under a minute of course, but to him everything seemed in slow motion. He had to look at her of course, his own youkai instincts had already claimed her of course, so it was very foolish. She had claw marks down her right cheek, and bruises swelling up on both her neck on one of her wrists.
She seemed oblivious, but her entire body was tensed. His eyes flickered crimson underneath the mask. He probably should have killed the kisama, but there was no finishing it now. The remaining blood on his hand was dripping calmly down his hand. He offered his right one to help her up. Silent, he truly was the imitation of ice. She glanced at the hand, caclulating slowly, flickering her gaze at his claws, putting her own clawed hand in his and finding herself on her feet almsot instantly. Then she turned her attention to Inu-Yasha and Kouga. Both were in shock and looking more than a little wary. Sessho-Maru seemed almost to retract his claws. There was a fairly unanimous sigh of relief as his body appeared to relax. She hadn't let go of his hand, instead held it loosely in her own, almost absently. He cast a hidden gaze towards it, brow arched slightly. She already had herself accustomed to him for any protection she couldn't handle for herself. Interesting. Hyouga walked in, his own personal servant informing him of the events.
His glower was cast down 'pon Naraku instantly and ordered him dragged to his own Carriage with an informant of what he had done, without any medical attention. Hyouga could only hope Sessho-Maru had poisoned him, no such luck however. He walked up to his daughter, notes that one of her hands was taken unconsciously, and mentally grinned. He held her free hand in both of her own, seeming to make her aware of where his other one was. She flushed the palest of pinks, but turned her attention to her father. He merely grinned. 'Kagome, my dear daughter, I have decided to let you stay two weeks with Sessho-Maru to see if you have truly made the right choice, since indeed this was all in haste. If not you may always stay with another prospect. You need only be married within the next three months. For your mother's ningen composure of course, you can become thier mate at any point and time.' THis time she did flush more visably.
'Thank you father...I really know no not a one very well, though some decisions will stay the same...' She denied her gaze the right to flicker, but both Hyouga and Sessho-Maru knew what she spoke of; Kouga. Naraku was the obvious choice and so everyone else thought she was speaking only of him, she had of course included him in this. She would get to know Inu-Yasha, but she doubted even then would she change her mind. Then she looked up at the immobile ice scupture, more recently known as her betrothed. Then again...well. She didn't really know. Sessho-Maru would nto treat her badly physically, she knew this some how, but she didn't know if she coudl emotionally handle his attitude. SHe did have a limit to her control, and lately she had been walking ont the fine line of being hysterical and having a nervous breakdown.
In anycase, she would at least be distracted enough keeping herself from showing weakness around him as much as possible. She quite uddenly found her gaze ending in a golden one. He had tilted his head ever so slightly so that he was facing her now. Amused, he noticed the teel-tale signs around him. Her heartbeat picking up as well as herbreathing, she flushed slightly again, and couldn't seem to break his gaze. Unfortunatly he found he couldn't either. There were a few 'aww's that he ignored as they crowd watched the couple look into each others eyes. Yisu grinned evilly. 'Yo, Kagome! If you keep standing there like that you are going to be around 'till mating season! Oh think that might distract you somewhat, so get a room while ye can!' Sessho-Maru managed to tear his gaze away to glower at Kagome's best friend as she giggled.
Kagome didn't manage that feat and turned into a fair immitation of a cherry. He growled at Yisu and Kagome glared daggers. Unable still to control her laughter, she raised her palms up in from of her as if to ward them off. 'Ah, gomen but I couldn't resist! Oh, almighty lovesick Sessho-Maru, please to not harm me!' She fell over in hysterical laughter, and Inu-Yasha helped her up, snickereing. Sessho-Maru narrowed his eyes. Those two made a horrible pair. They should most definitely _not_ be together. That could pose serious problems to his own pride as they seemed wont to taunt him. Niomi was also in hysterical laughter on the chuckling Kouga's shoulder. Alienore was eing held up my Hojo, and two other guys as she laughed. Sango was slapping Miroku for trying to hold her up by inappropriate grips in between chuckles. Hyouga was laughing in booming laughter. Only the others in the crowd seemed wary of his wrath, as they should be, and merely chuckled almost silently.
Hyouga stood up again, sparing the young ones any more embarassment if that was possible. 'Alright everyone, settle down. We will invite you all to the marriage ceremony. Those of you whom are staying with us may stay, everyone else may take thier leave. It has been a hectic night and we must take to our beds. Sessho-Maru, Inu-Yasha. You are welcome to stay the night since Kagome is leaving with you around noon tomorrow. You father and I discusssed this in case she chose you. Kouga, your father is expecting you home. Niomi, Alienore, and Yisu you are staying with Kagome. Sango...' He blinked, Sango had already disappeared, that drew his attention to Miroku. 'WHen will you learn? Someone check to see if he is breathing and bring him to a guest room, then inform his family...' He gave an exasperated sigh before leaving the room. The other guests slowly did this aswell.
Servants came to take Inu-Yasha and Sessho-Maru to their rooms. Kagome discreetly removed her hand, gifted him with a smile that he thought would make him die and go to heaven if he got the full force of it. Then her friends surrounded her and they left to their own rooms. Sango met up with them in the hallway. Servants also came to clean up them mess, as an after thought they dragged Miroku to a chair. After that they finished cleaning up. All the food was removed. All missing items were put in a very large box off to the side, snickering the servants decided to get back on Miroku, after all he had groped the cook's daughter. Three servants lifted im and dropped him into the clothign section of the lost in found, they didn't want to harm him afterall. After they had played thier little prank on poor Miroku, they checked on all of thier guests.. Inu-Yasha was asleep, Sessho-Maru was sitting wide awake on his bed, but they didn't dare bother him after he had cast his cold gaze in thier direction.
Sango allowed them to check on Kagome and Company. Kagome and Yisu were chatting quietly, and greeted the servants, before turning back to themselves. Niomi and Alienore were asleep. Sessho-Maru was indeed annoyed by the servants bothering him. He was listening in from below Kagome's room and was quite amused by it all. SHe loved his youkai features did she? She mentioned nothing of what she thought of his personality to Niomi and Alienore. He noticed how she circumspectly avoided that topic. Yisu she even didn't seem to want to speak about it. She obviously liked his appearance, that saved half the trouble. Of course, he wondered why he even considered being her mate. She did mention he was cold, but she knew he would protect her and never purposely harm her. He was pleased that she thought this, it was true of course.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome awoke the next morning completely lethargic, she yawned as she cuddled in closer to the downy soft pillows and comforters on her bed. Letting out a purr-like noise. Yisu, who had shared her bed while Niomi and Alienore took the guest one (Not like that you yuri hentais - -; women always slept together like that in the 1600s) on the other end of her room, grinned as she glanced over to Kagome who was curled into a loose ball, purring oddly enough. Or maybe it was a low, pleasant growl. Either way Yisu decided that Kagome should get up, get ready, and eat something. Whacking a pillow on her, Kagome jumped, fell of the bed, and landed with a thud on the floor. 'You snore too much!' Thus completely waking the half sleeping taiyoukai below her.
Both the now awake bethrothed heard Yisu's raucious chuckling. Kagome decided it was high time for a pillow fight, Sessho-Maru decided he had little choice but to listen. The girls were making alot of noise and Niomi and Alienore had already woken up and joined them. A quarter hour later they all collapsed onto the bed. Unsurprisingly Yisu was the first to jump up, hyper, as everyone else was breathing hard. Kagome had, predictably, fallen into a half sleep state which was disrupted when Yisu shoved her off the bed as started yelling. 'Wake up! Get up! Get Ready!' For the second time that morning she hot the floor with a thud and a groan. Grumbling all the girls went off to get dressed. Again, predictably, Kagome was hyper and bouncy after she had taken her morning bath.
She put on a traveling mandrin dress. It was slit up each side to mid thigh, and she wore black chesnit traveling boots beneath it. It was forest green and plain. There were golden loops up one side for the golden balls to hook into from the other side. There was a stiff collar that hooked like that aswell, coming up to an inch below her chin. The loops came from her left hip at a slow angle to her neck hooking along there. Satisfied she put her hair up in golden chopsticks and let out a sigh. Her things had already been packed. She glanced around her room for a moment before letting out a sigh and walking down to the breakfast table. She nodded to her friends and her guests, then set to eating like there was no tomorrow.
Niomi: Now that Kagome is out of the picture...COME'ERE WOLF-MAN! ~glomps Kouga~
Kouga: 0 0;; Well....I guess its better than nothing...
Fluffy: ~slaughters the reviewers~ Stop voting for me and Kagome. Besides...I won't win. Pai considers me hers and hers alone ~pauses~ Maybe Kagome WOULD be better...at least I could slaughter her and be done with it...~will NEVER admit his IC luffs Kagome~
