An Unexpected Love

Chapter Three : Transitions

~ . o . O . o . ~

She felt the sun�s warmth on her
skin. Kagome stirred as the soft pelt caressed her face. Her eyes fluttered
open. Clouds dotted the bluest sky she could remember. The woman sat up,
finding herself in a field full of multicolored flowers with the forest around
her. The forgotten furs fell to the grass as she heard Rin�s laughter in the
distance. Kagome stood, panic suddenly gripped her chest. �What had happened?
Where was everyone? Where am I?'

Kagome legs carried her toward the
girl�s voice. When she topped the hill, she was stunned into silence. A lavish
stone-washed castle appeared in the hollow. Ivy covered several portions,
giving the illusion of the structure growing from the earth itself. The valley
was littered with more flowers and trees. It looked like a sea of color.
Sesshoumaru�s home was beautiful, and very large.

Rin caught sight of the miko and
rushed to greet her. �Nee-chan, Nee-chan, you are finally awake.� The little
girl managed to tangle herself with Kagome�s legs causing her to laugh. The
child seemed familiar with their surroundings so Kagome assumed her assumption
was correct.

�Rin could you tell me where
everyone is?� �What about my friends?� She was worried but did not want to
upset the child. �What about Inuyasha?�

The child cocked her head, a little
confused but answered the question anyway. �Sesshoumaru-sama is inside.� She
pointed to the castle.

�Thank you. Would you like to come
inside with me? I need to speak with Sesshoumaru-sama.�

The girl threw her arms up.
�Yeah!� She pulled the miko to the castle. The two entered through the open
kitchen door. Kagome stalled when she walked into the large space. Three women
returned her gaze. �Are you hungry Nee-chan?� Rin spoke, unaware of the
tension between the older women. Her eyes were trained on the female in front
of her. Her words jerked the women into reality, having realized who she was
they immediately bowed. Rin stopped and looked confused, her gaze switched
between the head cook and her Nee-chan.

Kagome laughed lightly, completely
unsure of what to do, she was no royalty! �Uh, come on Rin, let�s just find
Sesshoumaru-sama.� The woman gently guided her to the opposing door, quickly
shutting it behind her. �That was unpleasant.� �Thank god that�s over,� she
sighed.

When she turned around, Sesshoumaru
stood only a few feet away with Rin in his arms. It was an unexpected scene
and she couldn�t hold her smile. �Sesshoumaru-sama.�

�Come, I will escort you to your
room.� He sat the child down. �Rin, go prepare yourself for dinner and
behave.�

�Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama!� She ran
down the opposing hall, turning briefly and shouting that she would see
Nee-chan later before disappearing.

Sesshoumaru had definitely seen a
change in Rin�s behavior over the last several months. �Come.� He took her
hand and escorted her down the hall in front of them.

She blushed heavily.
�Sesshoumaru-sama, is this necessary?�

�You must learn the ways of the
court. The first wife is referred to as the Lady of the House and is always on
my arm. You have that authority and you must learn to wield it when you
socialize with the other females in court. You are now part of the Inu-clan
and must not bring disgrace upon the name.� The girl swallowed hard. There
were so many rules. �From now on, you shall not leave your room without
an escort.� Kagome began to argue but the prince steam-rolled her. �There are
no exceptions to the rules. You are a target and I intend to protect you from
anyone who wishes ill upon me.�

They stopped in front of an ornate
sliding door. Large dog demons were depicted in silver and gold threads as
they danced in the night sky. The entrance opened and three women appeared
before her. They bowed and greeted her in unison, �Lady Kagome.�

�Uh,� she quickly looked to the
demon on her right. �Sesshoumaru-sama please I really don�t
need...�

He cut her short, �You need to be
schooled in various fields Kagome. I�m afraid, you must bear with it. I will
be back before dinner.� He turned and left her standing half-way in the door
as he walked back the way they had came. She sighed, he avoided her questions
again. She began wondering if they ever were going to talk.

�My Lady, come in.� Two women
rushed to her side, one holding her hand and the other began a quick sizing.
The door shut and Kagome turned to see the youngest of the three rising.

�Please wait.� She smiled, finally
getting their attention. This was going to be a long day. �Can�t I have your
names first?�

�Yes, milady, of course,� the woman
with her hand spoke. �My name is Seika.� Kagome studied her briefly, afraid
she might offend the female. Her skin was a soft white with an
ultra
light marine stripe that crossed each cheek. Her hair was the color of stone,
restrained into three sections, with eyes that were liquid pools of honey as
she met the other�s gaze. It was obvious that she was
full-blooded.

Seika motioned for the other two to
stand in front of the lady. �My name is Makoto.� The next one that spoke
resembled Inuyasha so much, Kagome had to hold her breath. She had not really
gotten a good look until then. White ears were set atop her head, standing
apart from the long raven locks that flowed. Her eyes were sapphire jewels set
against caramel skin. She smiled at her. It was weird to see a female
inu-hanyou.

�My name is Yumi milady.� The
girl�s voice was soft and Kagome pegged her to be around her own age. Her dark
chocolate hair hid her hazel eyes well. She was petite and seemed out of place
in the setting of demons.

Why had Sesshoumaru gotten her
companions like them? A youkai, a hanyou and a human. It was a weird
combination, Kagome had to admit. She began doubting that Sesshoumaru had even
hated humans in the first place and wondered if his hatred stemmed from
Inuyasha�s mother. �It is nice to meet you.�

The human and hanyou looked to
Seika, she was a little hesitant too. They had not prepared themselves for
someone who would be innocent and so nice. �Um, milady,� the demon
stumbled for a moment, �are you ready for your bath? We have little time and
we must get you ready.�

She nodded. Yumi rushed in front of
them to open the opposing door as Makoto gently guided the woman into the
adjoining room. �Can�t you call me Kagome?�

Seika followed and shut the entry
off to the front foyer. �No milady that is much too informal. Makoto, hand me
the measurements.� The hanyou turned her task over to Yumi. She briskly handed
the notes over to her superior then returned to her prior duties. The duo
worked quickly disrobing the young mistress as Seika looked over the numbers.
Her build was perfect. Sesshoumaru had at least found a decent looking human
although she could not tell what was so special about her anyway.

Kagome glanced around the elegant
bath room. Several feet before her was a hot spring sunk into the earth. Ivy
hung low over them, draping down the walls. The flowers were scattered about
and their smell sweetened the air. The girl blushed as they put her in the
water. Then Kagome shrieked as they disrobed, pulling their hair back to join
her.

�Please, milady, calm down,� Yumi
spoke, surprising the woman. Makoto handed the soap as Yumi reached for her
hair chemicals. Seika caught Kagome�s eye as she walked around them, opening
the door across from the one they entered. Kagome�s eyes were locked on the
scenery that befell her. It took her breath away; a meadow of flowers with a
waterfall. She relaxed, content to ignore the two bathing her and lose herself
in the view. Kagome had thought that landscapes like the one in front of her
were only in fantasies and fairy tales, never did she believe that she would
set her eyes on something so heavenly.

The door shut behind Kagome,
bringing her back to reality. Seika had disappeared. �Um, Makoto, Yumi, do you
have to bath me every time?� Her question was whispered in fear of her
answer.

�It is part of our job milady,�
Makoto replied. She sighed and gave a small nod. They rinsed her and Yumi
rose, quickly grabbing a deep violet robe to wrap her mistress and then moved
to shut the open gate as the hanyou finished drying the woman. They grabbed
two plain robes and hastily covered their forms before the trio emerged into
the private entrance hall. The wall to her right had been moved and now
revealed another space.

The lady of the house was led into
the adjoining cabin. The group found Seika at a wardrobe full of expensive
clothing. She turned, a deep dirty blue skirt and cream kimono in her arms.
�Your clothes, milady.� The women rushed her to the backless seat in the
middle of the room as Seika went to hang the garment on the screen. Kagome�s
eyes were held briefly by the design, the same kind that adorned the entrance
to her rooms, before Makoto took hold of her and began the long process of
grooming and preparation.

Makoto had worked half-way through
her tangled hair when Seika reached them. Yumi moved to light the various
candles and lanterns around the room for better visibility. �Since we do not
have much time, we shall simply braid the hair back here and here,� the youkai
ordered as she gathered the areas and handed one off to a returning Yumi then
Makoto. It took the two only a few moments before they had moved to the other
side.

Seika relocated to the dresser in
front of Kagome and opened the top right drawer, pulling out three compacts.
She turned and approached the subject. �Close your eyes and relax, milady.�
Kagome did as asked and could feel the woman work quickly. Yumi and Makoto had
abandoned her hair long ago and when she could finally open her eyes, she was
rushed behind the screen to change.

The trio worked their magic. A task
that usually took twenty minutes, they accomplished in twelve. Kagome was
fully dressed and out of breath. She was escorted to her seat again so they
could put the finishing touches on. Seika placed two hair ornaments around the
top braid on Kagome�s right and then tied a hanging charm from her waist.

When the lady was released, she was
able to examine herself. The obi was a deeper shade than the kimono and stood
out well against the billowing skirt. Kagome had not noticed the intricate
details on the sash, skirt or sleeves. The silver thread sparkled under the
lights and caught your attention if you were not used to it. �Ahh, this is so
beautiful,� she exclaimed in excitement, her fingers tracing the thread. The
youkai and hanyou covered their delicate ears at her pitched
voice.

�Please milady, calm yourself,�
Yumi expressed as she fanned the woman. The girl blushed and mumbled her
apology.

Seika and Makoto walked to the
door, the hanyou opening the screens as Yumi lead the lady to her superior.
�Come, milady, Lord Sesshoumaru should arrive shortly.� Kagome followed the
woman. Yumi and Makoto took their places beside the entrance doors, kneeled
and waiting. Seika stopped Kagome several feet from the opening and then took
her place beside the female.

The two on the floor had their
heads bowed, as did Seika. Kagome was a little confused. �Seika...�

The demon locked eyes, �Yes,
milady?�

The door opened immediately,
Sesshoumaru refused to knock and caught the group by surprise. Everyone was
silent. His bride-to-be was strikingly different in more appropriate attire.
Whatever they might have been discussing was lost to him. He ignored the
short-coming of formalities, chalking it up to Kagome�s ignorance.

�I
trust everything went well.� His eyes ignored Seika as he spoke, staring at
Kagome. He had caught her gaze and refused to free the
woman.

�Yes, milord. We did as you
requested.�

Seika bowed as Sesshoumaru took
Kagome�s hand, her expression one of confusion. �Very good.� They exited the
foyer and walked the opposite way they had come before.

He was still adorned in his normal
attire. �Sesshoumaru,� Kagome began.

�Are you pleased with the
servants?�

She nodded. �Yes, they are nice
but, I believe three is too many. Did you pick them?� He nodded in response.
�Sesshoumaru... have you told Rin?�

�No.�

He offered no explanation and
Kagome did not want to push. �What about Shippou, Sango and Miroku? When will
I see them?�

�At dinner. Tomorrow you will have
a long day, so you must rest and take it easy this evening.�

�What do you mean?�

�Seika and Makoto will be teaching
you court rules and laws and then you will begin your training.�

�Training?� her voice squeaked.
�But what for?�

�You must learn to control yourself
around youkai.� She nodded, understanding what he was talking about. She had
to control her purification. Kagome had never been around large groups of
youkai that weren�t trying to kill her. It made her more nervous than anything
else. The duo stopped in front of another beautifully designed door. Kagome�s
eyes trained on the circular pattern that emanated from the
center.

The doors opened, two male youkai
were bent on the floor in a bowed greeting. Kagome glanced at them briefly as
she was ushered in by Sesshoumaru. He sat her in a chair that was in front of
a large marble desk, exquisite carvings adorned the posts and trim. She could
hear the clack of the woven door closing as Sesshoumaru sat himself behind the
table.

Memories of school bubbled to the
surface along with mixed emotions. She did not know if she should laugh or cry
at the irony she saw. She felt like she was in front of a sensei, except that
this demon was her soon-to-be husband and her life was over now. There would
be no more schooling, Kagome would never see her family again.

Kagome studied the surface,
noticing more engravings near the opposing side. The demon cleared his throat
and they met eyes. He had studied the display of emotions that crossed her
features, his curiosity had prompted him to speak. �Kagome, what is on your
mind.� The question was a statement that demanded no lies.

�Will
you answer my questions?� She had to keep her composure. The woman knew that
she could gain more ground if she was strong. He silently nodded approval.
�When will I be able to return
home?�

�You must wait a week before you
can return then you will have three days there.� She nodded. Kagome was
surprised that she had gotten three days so easily. The girl was prepared to
fight for two. He seemed much more reasonable than Inuyasha.

�Will you explain to me the
ceremony and what has to be done?�

�The ceremony lasts three full days
after a courtship. The courtship will take three weeks and you will be
required to appear for a ritual every three days. Seika will be the one who
will guide you through and teach you what you need to know.�

�Then will she teach me the laws as
well?� Kagome was not looking forward to the next few weeks.

�Yes. Do not worry, Seika is very
patient.� He mistook her insecurities.

�Sesshoumaru, why are you willing
to marry a human?�

�Rin has become attached to you and
I do not have the skills to properly train her.�

Kagome heard his words but refused
to believe them. His answer did not make sense, there were plenty of human
women that she was sure the lord could find besides her. Women that were
already trained and ready to meet his demands. �Can I really do this? What was
I thinking?� A flash of Kikyou in Inuyasha�s arms filled her thoughts. Kagome
was immediately reminded why she had accepted Sesshoumaru�s offer; Inuyasha
had abandoned her, a long time ago. She sighed lightly. She could have still
went home.

Sesshoumaru sat across from the
woman as her mind raced. He was captivated by her constant change in facial
expressions. He knew that she was still filled with doubt and he could
understand her concerns as her future was uncertain. The demon rose, instantly
catching Kagome�s divided attention. Bewilderment was in her eyes as he took
her hand, leading them back out into the hallway. She again heard the sound of
the sliding door. �I want to show you something.�

The lord led her deeper into the
castle. She had no clue where she was or how to even get back. It was a maze
that only confused her even more. Instead of trying to map her way, Kagome
decided to lose herself in the art that flowed over the walls. Inu-demons
appeared to be the dominate species over the other youkai depicted. There
seemed to be a story and Kagome wondered if it was Sesshoumaru�s family
history.

When they stopped, Sesshoumaru left
her standing as he opened the door in front of the woman. What was revealed to
her was amazing, a beautiful lush garden hidden within the recesses of the
castle. It was like a jungle and was out of place. �This was Izayoi�s.�
Sesshoumaru�s voice startled her a bit and she looked to him. His eyes were on
fire although his face was still masking the emotions underneath. �This is my
wedding gift to you.�

�W...Wedding gift?� her eyes moved
from his to the view that stood before her. She could not find anymore words
as her eyes filled with water. She did not know if it was from the thought
that Sesshoumaru had kept this garden or had thought of giving it to her. How
could he have any hatred toward Inuyasha or humans seemed beyond reason. This
was a sign that maybe he had hope.

A chime echoed through the small
valley. �That is the dinner bell. Come, we must go.� He held his hand out to
her and took the lead. Their silence lasted until they entered the dining
hall. Rin had come running up behind them, her green kimono flapping against
her legs with her laughing demeanor that lightened the atmosphere. She skidded
around the duo as they stood, greeting the taijiya and houshi. Sango was
radiant in the pale pink and cream kimono and complimented Miroku�s clean
violet robes.

As Kagome began her inquiry to
Shippou�s whereabouts, the fox demon hopped into her arms. �Kagome, I missed
you!� The little demon had been clothed in the same hue as Rin. The hakama
pants had been specialized for him so that his tail could be comfortable. His
hair was still tied with a cream ribbon, standing out against his deep golden
hair.

Sesshoumaru released her arm as the
woman cuddled the youkai. Rin took the opportunity to jump at her otosan. The
couple that witnessed the attacking of youkai and human children had to stifle
their laughter. The demon lord did not look so threatening in his home.

The kappa demon came bursting in
behind them, instantly aware that Rin and Shippou had gotten away from him in
front of the master. Jaken, dressed in his formal attire, snapped to
attention, waiting for the punishment. Yet Sesshoumaru marched on, calling
everyone to take their seats as he escort Rin and Kagome, who carried her kit,
to theirs.

The soon-to-be couple sat
side-by-side at the head of the elegant oak table. Rin took her seat on the
left of the lord with Jaken then Miroku to her left. Shippou and Sango sat to
Kagome�s right. It was an old sight at the lord�s dinner table. They ate
leisurely with light conversations about the grounds and beautiful home.
Neither Sango or Miroku had dared to attempt questions about the �marriage�,
especially not in front of her husband.

The meal lasted for five courses.
Luscious desserts littered the top as the last string in the succession of the
parade; cakes and, from what the miko could tell, home-made ice cream. The
woman and her child counterpart looked at the mouth-watering food, both diving
in. Sesshoumaru was a little amazed at their excitement. Kagome�s laughter
filled the hall joyously as she and Rin shared a little inside joke. The girl
looked surprised before following her mentor�s actions. He had not heard a
genuine laugh from the child in such a long time. For a moment, Sesshoumaru
felt a light in his chest.

Catching himself daydreaming,
Sesshoumaru snapped himself back. Sango�s voice brought him into their
conversation. �Kagome, you have cake on your face.� She pointed to her face
and her laughter erupted with Rin�s. The demon looked to the woman, seeing
what the taijiya had spoken of. He could not help but smirk at her expression.
This woman had endured much pain and suffering, yet she always wore an
expression of joy.

Sesshoumaru cleared his throat,
gaining everyone�s attention. Kagome had removed the lost morsel from her face
as a bright red blush adorned her complexion. �We shall move to the foreroom
for the remainder of the night.� The lord stood, drawing Kagome up. Rin and
Jaken stood and immediately fell into line. Shippou followed the little girl
and the monk and slayer brought up the rear. They exchanged another look but
keep their silence.

The room that the group was led to
possessed high ceilings with prolific ornate architecture. Everyone was in
awe. It encased thousands of books and sculpture which dotted the space.
Three large glass windows pulled the eyes to the night sky, sloping landscape,
and tree line. Sesshoumaru excused himself to the three, shutting the doors
behind him.

Kagome rushed to the windows, eager
to look into the depths of the forest. Sango and Miroku repeated their secret
�look� before the woman spoke. She hurried to her friend�s side, touching the
girl�s shoulder. �Kagome,� her voice was low.

When they met eyes, the girl was
trying her best to not cry. �What have I gotten myself into?� she whispered
back.

Miroku approached them. �Come,
let�s sit and try to relax. I do not believe Sesshoumaru will harm you or us.�
He stood by several chairs in the corner. �He is an honorable man, and I am
sure there are honorable intentions.� The women sat both nodding at his
words.

�Please Kagome, cheer up. I�m sure
everything will work out in the end.� Sango�s cheerful voice eased her spirit.

She nodded, taking a deep breath,
trying to clear her mind. �You look great Sango,� her compliment caused the
older woman to blush.

�Yes,� Miroku agreed �I have been
telling her that all evening.� Kagome giggled. She was sure he had and she was
sure those compliments were coupled with occasional groping.

�What did you two do today?� Kagome
asked, trying to distract the two before their argument
escalated.

�Well,� Miroku began, �we looked
around our benevolent lord�s grounds.� He tone was light, but Kagome caught
the underscoring truth. Had something happened?

The sound of children laughing
could be heard in the hall. Suddenly the door burst open and Rin ran into the
room, hoping up on Kagome�s lap. �Nee-chan!� The girl hugged her.

�Rin,� the woman laughed back. The
group could hear Jaken yelling for his keep. They looked to the one in the
miko�s lap. �Are you hiding from Jaken?� Her eyes gleamed with her
answer.

Jaken rushed into the room,
immediately bowing, �Lady Kagome.�

His formal title caused the group
to swap looks. Kagome suddenly was very uncomfortable. �Jaken, please call me
Kagome.� She felt unnerved after his formal address and her friend�s
reactions. She felt bad that she had finally given up on Inuyasha yet Sango
and Miroku had urged her to move on. They had shown no reservations nor given
no argument against what had transpired between herself and the
lord.

�Nee-chan, you are going to be
Rin�s new mommy,� she giggled and gave her the flowers that she had been
�hiding�. So Sesshoumaru had finally told Rin.

Kagome blushed, trying to change
the subject. �Rin, do you know where Shippou is?�

�I�m sorry, Lady Kagome but Lord
Sesshoumaru-sama has given me strict instructions. The kit is in his room as
it is where Rin should be.� She nodded. Sesshoumaru had sent the children to
bed.

�Jaken had to listen to a lecture,�
the girl giggled again.

�He was talking to you too!� The
kappa demon�s face would have been red if his skin was not so green. Sango and
Miroku laughed, unable to keep their silence any longer.

�You two aren�t helping,� Kagome
flushed as she set the girl down. She turned to the child. �How about I tuck
you in?�

�But Rin doesn�t want to go to bed
yet.�

She smiled. �Well, if you don�t go
to bed now, how will you be rested for tomorrow?�

�Tomorrow? What�s Rin going to do
tomorrow?� she enthusiastically asked.

�Well you will have to go to bed to
see, won�t you?� Kagome knew that she would be hard-up for finding something
that could entertain the nine year old girl. She mouthed that she would be
back soon as they walked through the frame and disappeared around the corner,
Jaken in tow.

Sango let her breath out. �Poor
Kagome.� The girl had it hard no matter what.

�Yes, I agree. Rin is a hand-full.
I do not see how Sesshoumaru has not lost his temper yet.� The monk sighed.
Kagome seemed to not have good luck with men. He stood, walking to the closest
shelf and pulling a book from its hold. �I wonder how Sesshoumaru has come
across these.� He turned to face Sango as he flipped through the pages. He
could not recognize the letters.

The door eased open and a human
female appeared. She bowed, while she spoke, �I have come to escort you to
your rooms.�

The monk laughed lightly, �That�s
not necessary, we are waiting on Lady Kagome.�

�I�m sorry but I have instructions.
It is past midnight and you must rise early tomorrow.� The girl kept her bent
stature as she spoke with him.

Sango stood. �Very well.� She held
his eyes before moving to the exit. Miroku slipped the novel into his robes,
intent on reading the text he stumbled upon.

~ . o . O . o . ~

Kagome walked quietly back to her
room with her guide, Seika. The day seemed to drag on forever and though she
never had the courage to ask Sesshoumaru, her heart still wondered where
Inuyasha had disappeared to. A deep sigh erupted from the woman. �Damn these
twisting halls.� Before she knew it, the duo was standing in front of her
bedroom.

Yumi and Makoto disrobed Kagome and
readied her for sleep. Seika burned special incense ordered by her lord. The
two wished their lady a goodnight before disappearing to their quarters.
Kagome was left to stare at the ceiling and wonder about her fate. In a short
amount of time, the sweet and tranquilizing aroma of the burning spices
brought a deep sleep over the female.

The doors opened and a figure, clad
in red robes, crept slowly in. He could smell the odor that encompassed the
room and knew that Kagome had been drugged. A sound from the other side of the
shoji door caught his ears. The hanyou was quick to hide, unable to smell the
approaching visitor. Inuyasha chose the screen divider opposite the room, in
hopes that he would not be discovered.

The gate opened, revealing a half
nude Sesshoumaru, obviously ready for bed. Inuyasha instantly wondered if this
was Sesshoumaru's plan all along and was ready to tear his throat out before
he tortured and mutilated his body. He could hear his brother�s footsteps
along the floor, and Kagome�s light breathing as she slept. What was
Sesshoumaru going to do?

The hanyou
caught the sound of the floor creaking under the demon�s weight, and slowly
stood, peeking through the open slots lining the top. Inuyasha could not
advert his eyes no matter what his mind was screaming at him. Sesshoumaru had
placed his clothed body between her legs.
One hand
slipped between their
bodies as the other reached up to separate
her night hiyoku. The white robe was pulled down enough to expose her
breasts. Kagome�s cries told him
exactly what his brother was
doing.

Clawed fingers teased the nipple
closest to his hand while his mouth moved itself to bite the right. She cried
out slightly and Sesshoumaru found himself liking his new game. Kagome
responded so well under his touch and Inuyasha�s seething rage only fueled the
youkai�s adrenaline to push �his� human. Yet the prince had to admit that he
was surprised Inuyasha had burst into Kagome�s room. Indeed the incense burned
his nose, but he had not thought of his half-brother when his ordered the
ritualistic burning.

The irony of it was enough to cause
Sesshoumaru some pleasure. If Inuyasha knew that he was sealing Kagome�s soul,
the hanyou would fly into a rage. The demon looked into her face, the innocent
angelic features were in ecstasy as he felt her release and hearing her cries.
The sealing ritual had been completed and he could rest assured that it would
remain for the next thirty-two hours.

Her power had grow exponentially
since the proposal. Sesshoumaru began to wonder if he had misjudged this
woman. She may hold more power than he originally thought and could prove to
be a useful ally in the future. However, she was breaking those seals too
easily. He had to control her and teach her to control herself.

Wow, this chapter ended up being so
much longer than I had planned or even thought. Don�t expect this to be the
case every time. I have not planned on a conclusion or whatnot, I�m just
writing chapter to chapter, doing just an �end chapter goal� (instead of an
end story goal *.*). Thanks
Marcia. ^^

To get a good idea of the kimono
that Kagome was wearing, see :
http://harptone.m78.com/usagisakura.htm.
Sango�s
is very similar, however I don�t go into much detail about her garments.
