It's been two months since the wen-no, Kagome. She's earned her well-deserved respect from me. She's been here for two months now. Aside from the fact that she's doing an excellent job teaching Rin, she's taking care of the music and entertainment for the gathering. From what I've heard, it's different, but nice. She's even beginning to teach me a new language. Kagome is truly a jewel. She's fun loving, energetic, caring, strong, funny, smart…She has qualities that some youkai don't even have. It's no wonder I am beginning to feel attracted to her.

I looked down at the papers on my desk and sighed. Dinner will be ready soon; maybe I should see how everyone's doing. Standing, I stretched all the kinks out of my back and began walking to the door. I will check on Rin first. She should be in the garden with Senkako, who has also earned her respect. I walked down the hall and shook my head at the music coming from the ballroom. It sounds like Kagome's having fun, as always. `Louder is better.' She says. Maybe where she's from, but not here. I have to admit though, I'm not complaining.

I stepped out into the garden and smiled at the site before me. Rin was gathering flowers for Senkako to weave and Senkako in turn was teaching Rin how to weave them in different shapes. Just as I had first planed, Senkako was teaching Rin all the feminine things she'll need for her mate and Kagome was teaching her all the knowledge she could without endangering Rin. I turned and left without them noticing and walked off to the ballroom.

I opened the doors and again shook my head at Kagome. She stood there in her purple and gold kimono and directing the `band' as she called it. Her arms waving about in a quick pattern and my servants now turned band members were watching her intently. I suppressed a growl at the thought of other men looking at Kagome and listened to the music she was `conducting.'

I hear, a voice say "Don't be so blind"
It's telling me all these things, that you would probably hide
Am I, your one and only desire
Am I the reason you breathe, or am I the reason you cry

Always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you

I love you, I hate you, I can't get around you
I breathe you, I taste you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore, this lack of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door and now I'm done with you

Done with you, done with you, done with you, done with you, done with you

I feel, like you don't want me around
I guess I'll pack all my things, I guess I'll see you around
Its all, been bottled up until now
As I walk out your door, all I can hear is the sound

Always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you

I love you, I hate you, I can't get around you
I breathe you, I taste you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore, this lack of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door and now I'm done with you

I love you, I hate you, I can't live without you

I left my head around your heart
Why would you tear my world apart?

Always... always... always... always...

I see, the blood all over your hands
Does it make you feel, more like a man?
Was it all, just a part of your plan
The pistol's shaking in my hands and all I hear is the sound

I love you, I hate you, I can't live without you
I breathe you, I taste you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore, this lack of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door and now I'm done with you

I love you, I hate you, I can't live without you
I love you, I hate you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore, this lack of solitude
I pick myself off the floor and now I'm done with you

Always... always... always...

I have to give her credit it's a nice song. Nice choice for the gathering I believe. She cut off the band and turned to me with her ever-present smile on her face. "Hey there. Did ya like what you heard? It's not as good or as loud as it could be, but what can I say, I did the best I could." She asked. I nodded and shook my head at her.

"With the volume of your music, I think you're going to deafen my guests. Other than that, it's fine."

"You actually want them here? I got the impression that you would rather kill them then let them in you home." Did I mention she knows me so well? "Besides, this is nothing compared to what I'm use to."

"Really? How is it you are able to hear then? Or is that why you are constantly disobedient, because you can't hear?" I joked and she laughed, a melodic sound that I wanted to remember for all my days.

"No." She smiled as Jaken entered.

"Milord…dinner is ready, and we have a slight problem." I growled and got a worried look from Kagome. I hate when problems arise, especially when they happen at the worst moment possible.

"What is wrong?"

"Lord Kouji is here with his family." My eye twitched as I heard Jaken speak those words.

"All of them?"

"Yes, Milord. Saiyako is here." I wanted to scream! I can't deal with this now it's bad for my health!

"Is everything alright Sessh?" As she has started calling me. She got tired of saying Sesshoumaru all the time and informed me that my new name was Sessh.

"No, everything is not alright Kagome…Kagome…." I smirked as a thought came to my mind. Oh this will be so lovely. "Kagome, my dear, sweet Kagome." I said putting an arm around her shoulders. She raised her eyebrows and widened her eyes at the gesture.

"Sessh, are you alright?"

"I've never been better, my little flower."

"What's gotten into you?"

"I need a favor."

"What?"

"We're `friends' right?"

"I guess so, what do you need?"

"I need you to pretend to be my mate-to-be."

"You need me to what!" I winced as she yelled into my ear.

"I need you to pretend to be engaged to me."

"Why would you need me to do that?"

"You'll see once we get into the dinning room, please say you will." I looked desperately into her gray-blue eyes. She smiled and nodded.

"Alright, just don't get any ideas about taking this too far."

"Thank you!" I nearly yelled as I picked her up and spun her around in my arms. "You have no clue what you've just saved me from."

"I will if you put me down so we can go to dinner." I nodded and wrapped my arm around her waist. We walked through the halls and Kagome never lost that beautiful smile of hers. She wrapped her dainty hands around my arm as we neared the open door. We entered the room and I smirked at the look upon my guests' faces.

Kouji, a wolf youkai, and the Lord of the Northern Lands stood talking with his mate Saiya, also a wolf youkai. When they turned their heads and saw Kagome on my arm their eyes nearly left their sockets. Their two children were in much the same state. Kouga, their oldest blinked at us and smiled, he wasn't so annoying. He was a lot like his father; I was quite fond of the boy. Saiyako on the other hand was too much like her mother. I wanted to kill them both. How Kouji deals with them is beyond me.

I led Kagome to the seat next to mine and pulled out her chair for her. She smiled at me and sat with a polite thank you. I pushed in her chair and sat in my own. "Well now, won't you all have a seat?" My guests sat down in chairs and continued to blink and stare, all except for Kouga. As I had said, I was quite fond of the boy, but at times I wanted to kill him along with his sister. He is his mother's son after all.

"So Maru-sama, you finally have taken an interest in woman I see. And here I had found so many guys who would have loved to be yours." Kagome spit out her water back into her glass that she was trying to drink when the comment was said and turned to me.

"Implique-t-il que vous êtes gai? Is he implying that you're gay?" Kagome asked me in the language I had just finished learning, French it was called. I was a quick learner after all. She was surprised at how quickly I caught on.

"Certains le pensent pour être ainsi. Some believe it to be so."

"Pourquoi? Why?"

"Puisque j'ai prendre encore un compagnon. Because I have yet to take a mate." Kagome shook her head and tried to drink her water again.

"Maru, when did you learn this new speech?" Kouji asked me.

"Just recently." I answered.

"Who taught you?" Saiyako asked in her usual high-pitched sugary voice.

"My dear Kagome here." I motioned to Kagome who blushed at the comment.

"Oh." I heard the disgust in her voice and smirked. My plan was working so far. "So, what is the wench to you? I never imagined you allowing a human whore to cling on you.

"Excuse me?!" Kagome yelled as she stood up. I could feel her anger coming off of her in waves. Saiyako stood as well stood and glared at Kagome.

"You heard me, whore."

"I am not a whore, you stupid idiot!"

"Oh that hurt so much."

"What did I ever do to you? I've never even been properly introduced yet!"

"You don't have to!" Saiyako walked over to me and grabbed my arm. Great…now I have to burn this haori, and it was one of my favorites too. "You've bewitched my beloved into caring about you instead of me!"

"Excuse me…since when can I bewitch? And why does it feel like I'm on trial at the Salem Witch Trials?"

"So you admit you have! I should have your head!"

"What? Oh…I see now…I'm sorry I don't speak moron, maybe if you can find a translator…"

"I'm not the one speaking other languages here!" I growled as Saiyako pulled me out of my chair and began dragging me out the room. If I attack I start a war, if I leave her grasp she'll come after me and continue fighting with Kagome, who is at the moment glowing a very nice pink color, if I let her drag me away and escape later, nothing bad will happen. So I let her drag me out of there. Before she raced down the hall with me in hand she stuck her head back in the room and glared at Kagome. "You stay away from my beloved, do you hear whore?" With that said, she began dragging me down that hall mumbling all about how sorry she was that I had to be without her and stuck with Kagome.

Kami, I beg of you, save me!
