Prompt 17: Time: Words: 803

Kagome was having fun, working on the party making sure everything was perfect. The staff and soldiers were all so kind and helpful to her. She had personal maids following her around like she was the lady of the palace. If she needed something, it would be found/given to her. Her every question was answered. Staff was surprised when she actually asked their opinion on things and if it looked ‘okay’ or what their thoughts were whether it was silverware to where the tables should go etc.

She was trying to keep things with Sesshomaru low-key/discreet. She didn’t know how or when they’d tell the tachi. Sango knew and she kept protecting Kagome, for which she was glad. Inuyasha was on her tail, so to speak and she was getting somewhat worried. Had something changed to warrant such concern from him? Had something changed with her? He wasn’t saying anything so then?

Well why should she worry wondering what was wrong with him? Tonight she was supposed to have fun and hoped everyone appreciated her hard work. She silently walked towards the royal wing and opened the doors to her/Sesshomaru’s chambers. She was supposed to be a fairy….and she knew she was going to die laughing when she saw Inuyasha dressed as a cowboy. Even the royal castle seamstress was baffled to what she was sewing for the prince.

It was a sort of masquerade ball, she had masks ready, and there was elegant lighting, paper lanterns, punch fountains, a dance floor. Everything was done in silvers, light gold’s, reds. It took time but she hoped it paid off. ‘It’s hard to impress royals who already have everything’ Kagome thought shutting the door behind her. No Sesshomaru wasn’t here this time to pounce on her to make love once he saw her. Was becoming a bad habit really.  Not that she was complaining. Perhaps he’d already gone off to see to the royals. She heard that they had already started arriving from the personal maid who was assigned to her.

She dressed quickly, the sleeves over the shoulder, dress a long soft green color tissue like material, slits here and there on the bottom and soft as silk. Hair was open, in curls; arms were covered in soft silvery glitter. She grabbed her wrap, slippers and was off, gown glowing and shimmering in the moonlight as she walked. She grinned inwardly wondering what Sesshomaru would say once he saw her in this. Not to mention the ‘wings’ she had suddenly spouted.

She hurried over to Sesshomaru’s side in the front of the room standing with him, eyes following her once she entered, whispers from males about who this ethereal figure was….and if she was mated.

“Good evening and welcome to this year’s gala.” Kagome started smiling and standing with Sesshomaru. Sango bit her lip as she saw Inuyasha’s expression when Sesshomaru said nothing about Kagome standing with him, rather looked at ease and sort of happy? She knew it. Inuyasha was going to do something stupid. She looked at the houshi and he nodded. They had to be ready for anything.

They all had curious looks on their faces. Who was this Miko? Yes they could feel her powerful aura. “My lord…” one said.

“This is my mate Kagome-sama. The Miko of the Shikon-no-tama and she’s expecting.” Sesshomaru said a smug look on his face. Shocked gasps. Jealous and angry looks from court females who had their eyes on Sesshomaru. Defeated looks from males who were wondering if she was mated. Which idiot would dare challenge Sesshomaru? They might start digging their own grave.

Kagome turned to look at Sesshomaru….a wtf look on her face. She was WHAT?!!! She was with child? Like pregnant? Mama was going to…and grandpa was going to….and she was what again?! She paled. She didn’t know the first thing about being a mother! Then she felt a reassuring hand from Sesshomaru and looked up at him.

-Before the shocking revelation from Sesshomaru-

Inuyasha’s eyebrow was twitching and ears moving showing he was agitated about something. Something was wrong. Very wrong. He leaned against the wall close to the ‘stage’ where the pair was standing. Sango and Miroku were looking at him. Then he heard the shocking revelation…..His eyes flashed with something unexplainable, eyes moody, a dangerous aura surrounding him.

“Kagome? You Bast…err Sesshomaru! You choose this time to tell me and everyone else something like this?” he stated calmly walking towards her. He wasn’t going to throw a fit in front of all these royals who were murmuring softly. Why was the pup upset? Surely it was good news that the western lady was expecting right? An heir to the west? Why was the Prince of the west upset about that? Were they going to witness some drama?
