Sorry for the long wait! Please, please, PLEASE DON’T KILL ME! *curls into fetal position* I had hoped to get this chapter up sooner, but one of the sites I post on went down for repair… A friend told me that the site would be back up soon, so I decided to wait until I could post the chapter for everyone. This chapter will hopefully make up for the time I lost, so I hope you enjoy!

Chapter six – Romance and Relatives -Part one-

Elegant, clawed fingers, tapped against the cool, white marble terrace as their owner’s amber gaze followed the swift departure of Kagome, as she set off to patrol the Western Lands. She’d taken it upon herself to patrol everyday since the arrival of her kit, Shippo, and when asked her reasoning by Sesshoumaru, she would simply respond that she was ensuring the kit’s safety. Said taiyoukai knew the phoenix was nervous about the impending arrival of the other lords; her aura had set his entire palace on edge with its periodic bursts of purifying energy. The last time she’d been surprised, it had taken her sparring partner two days to regrow his singed eyebrows. Sesshoumaru had felt the need to comment on her lack of restraint simply to watch in amusement as she stomp and waved her arms wildly, occasionally taking her anger out on various objects in her path.

Sesshoumaru was brought out of his musings with a sharp rap upon his chamber doors, causing a small, annoyed scowl to make its way to his expression before he took on his stoic appearance. It seemed even the taiyoukai was without peace as his house was filled to the brim with disturbances and preparations. The door opened slightly and bulbous yellow eyes peeped around the corner. Jaken, slightly flustered, hobbled into the expansive chamber and made his way to the terrace, groveling pathetically as he stepped in front of Sesshoumaru.

“Sesshoumaru-sama! Messengers have arrived from the other lords! They will be here within the hour and-“

“Very well. Have everything finished by the time I return. I’m going to retrieve Lady Kagome.” Sesshoumaru turned and his cloud of youki solidified beneath his feet. He turned an annoyed glare at the still groveling Jaken. “Now.” With a quiet ruffle of his white kimono, Sesshoumaru disappeared into the slowly darkening sky.

He found her standing on the edge of a cliff, her ebony hair swaying gently in the cool evening breeze. Her black fighting gi flowed gently to her knees, leaving her legs exposed as the breeze strengthened. She made no move to turn as he landed; rather she kept her pale face turned towards the setting sun.

“Sesshoumaru-sama…”

“The other lords are arriving.” Sesshoumaru stepped next to her and his gaze followed the gentle decent of the glowing orb as it revealed a diamond filled sky.

“I see… We should go back, I suppose I need to change.” She turned her golden gaze and met his slowly. Kagome smiled gently and her flaming wings erupted between her shoulder blades. “Wanna race?” She leapt into the sky and quickly began her return to the palace of the western lands. Sesshoumaru smirked slightly, and he too rose into the sky.

Kirei smiled as two small forms appeared in the night sky; white and black, the forms landed in the gardens and parted ways. The black form moved through the gardens and stopped under the balcony only to reappear on the smooth marble. Pale feet ghosted across the marble’s void-like surface and moved into the chamber quietly. Her mistress gently began to peel off her fighting gi, and Kirei smiled as Kagome silently made her way to the hot spring. Kagome sat in the steaming water as she mentally prepared herself to meet the lords of the east, north and south. ‘I wonder what they’ll-‘

“All will be well, milady.” Kagome shook herself slightly and smiled broadly at her friend. “Now sit still so I can finish your hair!” With a giggle and pout Kagome turned and allowed her handmaiden to finish rinsing her ebony locks. Kirei helped her mistress dry and then step into a delicate black kimono. The first layer was gold, followed by crimson, black and white. The layer pattern repeated twice, finally ending in a shimmering black top layer. Small white crystals spiraled up the kimono starting by her left ankle and coming to a gradual stop from her left hip to her right wrist. Kirei gently began plaiting Kagome’s hair as her mistress wrinkled her nose at the lengthy design.

“I don’t see why everything has to be so extravagant… I mean, I know it’s a ball and everything, but do we need to look so strange?”

“Lady Kagome, didn’t I already teach you court etticate? It’s tradition! Besides, don’t you want to look nice for Sesshoumaru-sama?” Kagome blushed furiously as she attempted to deny such a thing.

“N-no! I mean- Why would I want to look good for HIM?! You’re being unreasonable… Besides, there’s just no way he would EVER even LIKE me!” Kagome laughed nervously as Kirei wove strands of random gems into Kagome’s plaited hair.

“You’ll understand soon enough… Now, don’t you look nice?” Kagome’s startled gaze landed upon the woman in her mirror. Her ebony hair was twisted into elegant plaits and pinned high on her head, leaving one plait hanging down over her shoulder. Small strands of rubies, sapphires, emeralds and pearls glinted in the plaits, making Kagome’s hair shimmer delicately. Kagome gasped gently as Kirei clasped a dainty, sliver band around her forehead. The band came to a gentle downwards point on her brow, and a petite ruby crescent moon hung from it. The crescent fell in the middle of the flame upon her forehead, making the moon appear to be lit in endless flame.

“I-“

“You’re beautiful.” Kagome turned quickly to see Sesshoumaru leaning against her doorframe. His silver hair had been pulled into a loose ponytail, following the direction of his spine. His dress kimono was of the purest white, and while a sapphire crescent moon shone brightly upon his left chest, a blood red sash was tied at his waist. His black hakayama rustled slightly as he stood and extended a clawed hand in Kagome’s direction. Her cheeks reddened as she gracefully accepted his offer.

“A-arigato, Sesshoumaru-sama…”

“Shall we?” Kagome nodded and smiled nervously as she slipped her arm through his. The pair exited the room quietly staring at one another intently, much to the amusement of a certain handmaiden as she watched the western land’s very own Yin and Yang leave the room.

The rest of “Romance and Relatives” will be up by tomorrow. I just wanted to get this part out while I format the rest. Hope you guys all enjoy!
