Chapter 57: Blushing Moon

A respectful hush fell over the clans as the moon appeared, slowly ascending over the sea, blushed pink and perfect in its fullness. To Kagome, it looked like a jewel, and her hand slipped protectively over her heart.

At the Western Lady’s signal, servants hurried forward for the symbolic laying down of arms, a promise of peace for the duration of the festival. She placed a glittering dagger in Kagome’s hands, and Sesshoumaru gravely entrusted her with Tenseiga. Though it was a solemn ceremony, she couldn’t hide her excitement. Heart aflutter, eyes sparkling, Kagome unwittingly upstaged everyone... even the moon.
