Silent Appraisal
“The only good thing about these tedious affairs is the opportunity to dress beautifully,” announced the Western Lady as she sifted through her vast collection of silk. “And since you are obliged to attend, I shall make certain you do it in style.”
“But... won’t that cause problems?” Kagome ventured.
“A little scandal to liven up the pontification? What could be better?” she replied breezily. Humming, she held up a peach-hued kimono. “If my son brings back complementary flowers, we’ll put you in this.”
“Hnn.”
The demoness’s yellow eyes slanted towards the door, and she smirked triumphantly. “How fortuitous... pink!”

“I feel like a doll,” Kagome complained.
“Oh, you are my plaything,” the Western Lady replied, giving the miko’s obi another firm tug. “Pass me a flower.”
“Erm... I can’t reach?”
“Not you,” she briskly replied. “Sesshoumaru, dear... make yourself useful?”
The taiyoukai had been banished to the balcony, but he obediently returned. Kagome felt awkward in all the layers of her borrowed finery, and she feared that the dozens of pins and combs holding her elaborate hairstyle in place would give her a headache; however, when Sesshoumaru’s step faltered at the sight she made, the undertaking suddenly seemed worthwhile.
