Trust in a Youkai

Chapter 16:

Body guard

 

 

“Miss Kagome…miss Kagome” Kagome rolled over trying to get away from whoever was trying to wake her up.

 

“Miss Kagome, you need to wake up” the voice sounded again.

 

“Iie” Kagome groaned. All she wanted was just a few more minutes.

 

“But Lord Sesshoumaru sent me to wake up” the voice sounded desperate.

 

“Nani?” Kagome sat up in bed to see a maid standing by her bed looking just as desperate as her voice sounded.

 

“You need to start getting ready for the ball, we must hurry and get you to the bathing room, and we are already behind schedule” the maid was becoming frantic.

 

“Alright, alright” Kagome crawled out of bed. She barley had time to put her robe on before she was pushed out the door and down the hall.

 

Kagome was in and out of the bath within a half hour. She was dressed in a light blue kimono and a dark blue obi. Her hair was hanging down so it would dry.

 

“Here, use some of this perfume” the maid said handing a small bottle to Kagome.

 

“What is it for?” Kagome asked as she eyed the perfume.

 

“Lord Sesshoumaru said to use this. It will cover the main part of your scent slightly for the time being until you arrive at Lord Von's ball”

 

“Oh” Kagome smiled “How much of my scent will it hide?”

 

“Not much really, just enough so Lord Sesshoumaru will have better control of himself” the maid was received with a silent `oh' from Kagome.

 

“Quickly, we must hurry. We are still behind schedule.” For the second time that morning Kagome was pushed down the hallways. Within a few minutes Kagome was pushed into the dinning hall.

 

Once in the dinning hall Kagome saw Sesshoumaru already sitting at the table. Sesshoumaru motioned for Kagome to sit. She nodded and walked over to a chair next to Sesshoumaru and sat down. “You're a little late” Sesshoumaru stated as they ate.

 

“Sorry about that” Kagome said sheepishly “I guess I overslept”

 

“I see that” Sesshoumaru chuckled receiving a glare from Kagome. “While you are at the ball I am assigning you a body guard”

 

“Why is that?” Kagome looked over at Sesshoumaru.

 

“Because many lesser Lords who do not have mates will be there looking for mates and with you in heat you could be in danger” Sesshoumaru continued eating.

 

“But If I have a body guard won't he be a guy?” Kagome set her chop sticks down.

 

“That is correct” Sesshoumaru continued eating.

 

“But wont he…you know” Kagome blushed “Be affected as well?”

 

“You do not have to worry about that Lady Kagome” Kagome turned around in her seat to see a demon standing right behind her. “I already have a mated so you do not have to worry about your lovely scent affecting me.”

 

“Kagome's blush deepened as she looked at the demon before her. He's a Kitsune, she could tell by his aura. He is tall like Sesshoumaru with a nice set of muscles but not too much, it was a perfect build. His eyes a beautiful crimson red and silver hair with a blue tint that hung down to his shoulders which is currently pulled back into a low pony tail. Three lone strands managed to escape and hung in front of his right eye. On the left side of his neck looked something like a scar barely peeking over the collar of his black gi. His hakama was also black.

 

Kagome looked over at Sesshoumaru “If I am going to be with you why do I need to have a body guard?”

 

“Because you will not always be around me and when you are I help's assure your safety” Sesshoumaru stands up “Finish eating, we will leave when you are done. And be sure to bring that perfume that I had the maid give you.”

 

“Right…will Tiara's be better than the one I have?” Kagome asked.

 

“Yes, the one you have only works for a little while. It is already starting to wear off” Sesshoumaru turned around and walked out of the dinning hall.

 

“Is that why he left so quickly?” Kagome asked looking at the door from which Sesshoumaru went through.

 

“Lord Sesshoumaru has never taken a mate” Kagome turned to look at her new body guard who was now sitting next to her. “That's why he's so affected by your scent” he explained in a serious voice. Kagome nodded. “So my name is Dante, and I will be your new body guard!” the one now know as Dante said in a cheerful voice and extended his hand out to Kagome.

 

Kagome faulted and sighed. Shaking her head Kagome shook his hand. “It's nice to meet you Dante.”

 

“And it's a pleasure to meet you. Now you should finish eating so we can be on our way” Dante stood and walked around the room.

 

“I don't think I'm hungry anymore” Kagome sighed. She stood and looked over at Dante. “Are you ready Dante?”

 

“Yes My Lady” Dante bowed. “Come, follow me, I will take you to a maid so you may put your gown on.”

 

“Why do I need to put my gown on now?” Kagome watched Dante as he took her arm in his and lead her down the hall.

 

“So you will have it when we get to the ball, why do you think I'm so dressed up?” Dante walked down the hall towards Kagome's room.

 

“I don't know, I thought that you just liked dressing fancy that's all” Kagome said off handedly.

 

“No my Lady, I hardly ever dress up this much” they rounded the corner to Kagome's room. “Lord Sesshoumaru should be changing as well, here we go” Dante opened Kagome's door to already see a maid preparing the dress among other things.

 

“Miss Kagome” the maid bowed “your bags have already been taken out. Now all you need to do is get dressed and have your hair done.”

 

“I'll be standing right outside waiting for you” Dante chuckled as Kagome was pushed behind the changing screen by the maid.

 

A few moments later Kagome was wearing the beautiful Kimono along with the crescent moon necklace and earrings. She was given beautiful white slippers that matched her kimono. She managed to talk the maid into letting her hair hang down rather than having it done up in some style. Kagome put some more of that perfume on. She only had a little bit left and she didn't have that much to begin with. The only thing she could do now was pray that Tiara had some of that perfume Sesshoumaru told her about.

Dante was leaning against the wall opposite of Kagome's door tapping his fingers against the marble. He was informed by Sesshoumaru that when Kagome came out he was to take her out to the front gate. Now all he had to do was wait. He always wondered what make women take so long when they have to get ready for something. His wife did it all the time, you think he would be used to it by now.

 

Now Dante knew he was getting bored, he was starting to make pictures out of the designs in the marble walls. He already found one that looked kind of like Jaken when he's groveling and another one looked like a deformed daisy or something. Dante was about to start banging his head on the wall by the time the door opened. There Kagome stood in her ball gown while Dante's jaw dropped to the floor.

 

“So what do you think?” Kagome asked.

 

“You look lovely” Dante stood up and held out his arm. “Shall we go?” Sesshoumaru is waiting for us at the front gates.” Kagome took his arm and headed down the hall.

 

When the two arrived at the front gates Ah- Un were set up and ready to leave as was Sesshoumaru. As Kagome walked over to Sesshoumaru she studied his outfit. He wore an outfit just like his usual minus the red imprints. It was plain white with a whitish tan boa along with armor that was more for show rather than fighting. Kagome had to admit that he looked quite handsome. Sesshoumaru also studied Kagome. She was beautiful in that outfit he gave her. He held out his hand and helped Kagome onto Ah- Un.

 

“Dante will ride behind you and I will fly beside you” Sesshoumaru said.

 

“Ok” Kagome smiled.

 

“Shall we leave?” Dante asked as he climbed upon the dragon. Sesshoumaru nodded and they all took to the sky.
