A Ball...Is that not a round object? Although Leiko explained it to me I am still kind of confused...

If a "Ball" Is a premating Ritual, for humans I think for I have not heard it, then why is "everyone" invited?

I do not know if I want to go to this "ball"....And it's so cold out...

And this place stinks of Ink, it is giving me a head ache...

Sesshomaru...a ball is a dance. You go and see old friends and you dress up nicely and you dance.

Since its a school ball..that is why everyone is invited.

It'll be warm where the ball. Sesshomaru...I would like to go with you. I don't have a lot of experience with dancing either or with balls and I think it would be nice if we go together.

I thought you were interested in Inuyasha? Besides which, Sesshoumaru and I are pledged to mate each other. Why would he go with you when I am available?

[kagome_09]

I am sorry Leiko. I did not realize that you and Sesshoumaru were pledged. I just wanted to go as friends thats all since I know him from a different times. InuYasha...is no longer here I believe.

[hokkyoku]

Inuyasha is here. Some love you have for him if you'd go for someone else the moment you think he isn't available...

[kagome_09]

There is more here then you know Leiko. He's been gone for so long and I know deep in my heart that he went because of his first girlfriend. So why should I stay here and remain faithful when he does not do the same thing?

I...I know Sesshomaru from another time, Leiko, I only wanted to go as friends. I did not want anything more then that. I am sorry if I offended you.

So you have the power of knowing other beings' minds... A very dangerous power to have, especially for a ningen.

It is good for you that you've decided to abandon chasing after him, though. It will mean less heartbreak for you in the long run.

Youkai do not make friends. Not the way ningen do. If you wish to make friends with Sesshoumaru, that is your prerogative and not my place to intervene. But bear in mind that our cultures are -very- different. Be aware of what you are asking and what you are offering before you make such a statement.

I don't have the power of knowing other beings' minds...nevermind its too complex to discuss and to much for me to get into right now.

Yes, I thought that as well. Its hard to do...but still it must be done.

I will take what you said into consideration since I do not know many Youkai who are not evil. What do you mean that you are mates though. How do Youkai have mates...is it arranged or does it happen over time like humans?

[hokkyoku]

You...do not know many youkai who are not evil.

And I do not know many ningen that are not obsessed with eradicating those that are not like them.

Taste your own racism.

I'm sorry for butting in, but...

That's not always true about humans. I assume that's what you mean when you say "ningens"?

There can be acceptance and even love. Nothing is black and white.

It's...a long conversation in the making. Let's take it elsewhere?

[Private to Leiko]

[elite_strife]

Of course.

Where?

[Private to Cloud]

[hokkyoku]

Here.

[kagome_09]

Hello, I believe you are cloud, my name is Kagome.

I agree with Cloud although there are humans who will fear things that are different from them and will attack it. I am sorry about the ningens that you have met who only tried to eradicate you. I have met humans like that as well and it is not right. Because of InuYasha, I am not like that...or at least I try hard not to be.

Racism suffers on both sides Leiko. Many of the demons that I have seen have tried to kill me and my companions.

[elite_strife]

Nice to meet you, Kagome.

Experiences...can differ, but it's best to remember that you can't put everyone into one corner or the other. There will always be exceptions.

[kagome_09]

Yes I know that Cloud. The exception rule should apply to everyone though not just to me.

[elite_strife]

It does whether it's acknowledged or not.
