CHAPTER 41: THE BURNING QUESTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango fidgeted like mad when Miroku’s expression looked like he just viewed a dirty porno movie. Miroku seemed to be bestowed with an enlightened expression, only granted by Buddha himself. He turned to her, “Sango?”
She began to shrink away from him. “Uh, yes, Miroku sweetie?”
He shook his head at her as he followed suit. She isn’t going to get away with this that easy. Miroku looked like he wanted to throttle her for a moment. Sango swore she had never seen him look at her like that.
“You did tell me that Kagome was at a Bridal Bouquet, right?”
“Yes.” Sango was now looking at her feet with an intense curiosity.
“But,” Miroku paused for a moment, “what you neglected to tell me was the reason why! I asked you what she was doing and you said?” Miroku didn’t like her shying away from him so he used his hand to captured her chin and brought her head up to look directly at him. “Sango, I’m waiting for an answer, dearest.”
“Shopping.” Sango still didn’t have the courage to look him in the eyes. She didn’t tell Miroku because she was sworn to secrecy.
“Yes, but then I asked you for what, and you said?” Miroku continued to probe her.
“A dress, but you never asked what type of dress.” Sango said, in her defense, but she knew he wasn’t going to be happy with that answer, however; she couldn’t do anything about that now. “What does it matter Miroku? I know you were going to find out sooner or later. Plus, Kags didn’t want me to tell.”
Miroku decided to let this go for the moment. He kissed Sango’s cheek before saying anything else. “We will talk about this later Sango dearest, for now, lets go into the ballroom.” The burning question in the back of Miroku’s mind right now was…’did Inuyasha know?’
Sango wasn’t sure she was thrilled at the prospect of an up and coming lecture from her boyfriend later in the evening. But, she would worry about that later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha sniffed the air there it was again. “Naraku,” he spit out in bitter disgust, as scanned the area so that he could sense the bastard. Inuyasha found that the scent was receding off in the distance. However, he couldn’t help but notice that a scant trace lingered.
Kikyou tensed in his hold. “What?”
“He’s here. That bastard actually had the balls to show up! Son of a bitch.” He swore. Inuyasha stormed from the garden terrace into the foyer, but only to realize that the party procession was no longer in there. “Damn we missed the announcement.” With Kikyou in tow, they headed for the ballroom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Kagomeeeee!” squealed a loud little girl. The entire ballroom froze at the sound of the high pitched screeching and turned in the direction of the noise.
Kagome stopped when she heard her cherub yelling, at a rather loud decibel, for her. Her heart warmed at the sight of a little girl dressed in a frilly midnight blue dress with ruffles. Big coco brown eyes sparkled with laughter and merriment as she ran like the wind toward the couple. Chocolate hair streamed behind the cute little girl in a to and fro motion which caused Kagome to smile warmly at Rin, her cherub. As she disentangled her hand from Sesshoumaru, Kagome readied herself for Rin. Kagome kneeled down to the ground and opened her arms wide awaiting the impact.
Sesshoumaru heard Rin’s rather loud outburst and groaned inwardly. ‘Hadn’t I talked to her about that?’ He questioned inwardly, ‘this Sesshoumaur will have to have another talk with my daughter about her manners.’ Sesshoumaru was introducing Kagome to the Lord and Lady of the Eastern Lands when he felt her pull away from him. His liquid gold eyes watched with keen interest at the scene before him. Rin came barreling down, through the masses at Kagome and leapt into her awaiting arms, almost tackling her down the ground. But, Kagome was quiet agile. The moment his cherub hit Kagome’s arms made her swing Rin around in a wide arc, and then planted their disheveled cherub on her hip. Both girls laughed in delight.
Kagome planted a kiss on Rin’s cheek before she turned back to her fiancée. She caught Sesshoumaru staring at her and she blushed. Kagome began to feel a little uncomfortable under his unknown scrutiny. Was this little display between her and her cherub getting her in trouble? Kagome began to worry, but kept a grin plastered on her face. She sauntered back over to Sesshoumaru.
“Please forgive me.” Kagome said humbly. “My cherub wanted to see us before it gets too late in the evening.” Kagome bowed to the Lord and Lady of the East with Rin in her arms. “She has to go to bed in a little bit.”
Then by unknown forces of natures, Rin then became very shy and shuck her head into the crook of Kagome’s neck; it was like she was trying to hide. Kagome’s one free hand began to rub Rin’s back in an attempt to eliminate her shyness. Little did she know it was putting her to sleep.
The Lady of the East smiled at Kagome. “You will make a wonderful mother someday my dear. I believe you suit Sesshoumaru-sama very well.” She praised.
Kagome blushed and thanked the phoenix demoness.
“This Sesshoumaru always picks the finest things, for I would settle for no less.” Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome when he made that bold statement, and Kagome thought that she was going too drowned in his eyes when all of a sudden he broke their gaze. They continued to talk with the elder taiyoukai couple for a few more minutes when Kagome felt something wet oozing down her neck. ‘Drool! Rin must be sleeping,’ Kagome thought trying not to squirm.
“Excuse me again, honey,” Kagome turned to Sesshoumaru, “I fear it is past Rin’s bed time and she seemed to have fallen asleep. Our cherub needs to go to bed.” Kagome stated in a polite manner.
Sesshoumaru transferred the sleeping girl from Kagome, and cradled her in his arm. “Yes, I do believe our little cherub is finally asleep. I will take her to bed.” Before Sesshoumaru turned to leave, Kagome placed a hand on Sesshoumaru’s shoulder stopping him. Next, she coyly gave a kiss on Rin’s forehead and smiled up at the great InuTaiyoukai.
Kagome watched them leave and felt something stir in her heart. ‘No, this won’t last. It is just and illusion made to fool those that need to be, and to save those who don’t even know it.’

They broke into the ballroom and saw people mingling, dance, and sitting at the rather beautifully ornate tables.
“Hey lets sit over there.” Inuyasha pointed towards Sango and Miroku, who were talking to themselves.
“Okay Yasha,” Kikyou said pouting, “but first I want to say, ‘hi’ to some friends of mine.” Kikyou kissed him on the cheek and then walked in the opposite direction of him and his annoying friends. ‘Anything to get away from them.’ Kikyou thought in hostile distain.
Inuyasha strolled over to his two friends who seemed to be in a very deep conversation, but entire scenario didn’t look right or feel right. Something was up, Inuyasha guessed because Sango looked a little dejected and Miroku wasn’t smiling like his usually playboy self. “Hey you two!” He called over to the pair.
“Hi Inuyasha, did you find Kikyou?” Miroku asked.
“Uh, yeah! She went to talk to some of her friends.”
“Do you want to sit, Inuyasha?” Sango asked.
The group didn’t see Kagome wandering over in their direction until it was too late. Sango’s eyes widened, and Miroku’s jaw dropped gaping that the person standing off behind Inuyasha.
“So, who the hell is Sesshoumaru’s bitch?” When he didn’t get a reply he stared at them hard trying to intimidate Sango and Miroku into answering. His golden eyes narrowed in agitation. ‘What the hell?!’ He thought crossly. “Are you two dimwits gonna answer me?” He barked again. “I asked you who is Sesshoumaru’s bitc~…” Inuyasha was royal pissed, but figured out that they weren’t looking at him rather over his shoulder. ‘What the hell are those two gawking at?’ He fumed. Inuyasha turned and saw a sight of beautiful that stole his breath. “Kagome?!”

“Okay Yasha,” Kikyou said pouting, “but first I want to say, ‘hi’ to some friends of mine.” Kikyou kissed him on the cheek and then walked in the opposite direction of him and his annoying friends. ‘Anything to get away from them.’ Kikyou thought in hostile distain.
