this is one of two kinda old sketchs i made one night based on a scene from a sesskag story idea of mine that had been taunting my brains senselessly for existence of some sort...so this and the other came about.

the female being blob beside her is meant to be her mother, but it wasn't important as i was mainly getting her appearance down from this scene. then as i always take down notes for my many, many story ideas sitting sadly in a folder waiting for their day to be real, i happened to jot down the scene in the notes to help me recall it whenever i get to it.

here it is:

They meet at a get together/meeting of their two families, each high ranking

Him—the demon ruled family of the west
Her—the human ruled family of the east
He—is there as the heir to his father(Lord Inu No Taisho), he a prince
She—is there as the (next in line) heir to her father(and mother), she a hime

The east is the only territory governed by humans, though of course there are demon and human in all regions in many positions whether it be social or political

The east and west have the best relationship

The two families walk into the meeting room

Lord Inu No Taisho greets Lord Higurashi then Lady Higurashi

Sesshoumaru stands quietly beside yet just slightly behind his father looking blandly at the family he is meeting for the first time with disinterest until he sees Kagome who is staring off languidly into the garden beyond their open patio room…

She is dressed a bit more simply compared to her mother—who is all decked out for the important company—in pastel blues and greens with playful spring designs, her hair is also very surprising, loosely pulled up with ribbon in a Grecian style and a flower encrusted comb…leaving most of the waves flooding around her shoulders and back, she even had her hair cut short in the front(bangs)….her clothes weren’t shiny and pressed but flowing and soft with wear…her hips and obi were decorated by a few pieces of rope and paper made creations that while nice still looked child made…
Her eyes were large and expressive, her cheeks soft and hewn a delicate pink from exertion, her feet were bare, the sandals simple and meant for movement, her lips were not smiling but not frowning, a contended turn up at the ends…brightening her features in careless ease despite the taut air of political greetings…the bold blue of her orbs were lined by full, feather lashes…wayward ends and curls of her free raven hair framed her neck and face….

She was petite but curved, delicate hands fussing absentmindedly with her sleeves…though it was very quiet it sounded as though she were humming a lulling tune while swaying ever so slightly to it….her eyes never leaving the bright blooming colors of nature just beyond their placement….

Everything about her was different than he’d ever seen of anyone…she was simple yet lovely…happy and carefree with a soothing air, almost an overflowing of the very expression she wore…

Of every person in the room, no matter their appearance or state, she seemed to call attention to herself even though she really wasn’t meaning to or trying and likely didn’t wish for it..
