Chapter 1: The Early Morning
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––
"Kagome, please ma lady awake..." Kaede, her childhood nanny was in her room folding clothes of the young lady.
Kaede waited until her Lady Kagome moved. Seeing and hearing nothing she moved swiftly to the window that was being covered by a blind. Smiling at her Lady Kagome she lifted it up, revealing the rays of the sun on Kagome's blanket. Kagome shifted this and that and finally took the covers off of her face. She stretched and sat straight up in her bed. Rubbing her eyes to get back her sight a bit, she saw Kaede sitting down in a chair folding Kagome's clothes. Kaede, noticing Lady Kagome's awake smiled.
"Good morning Lady Kagome, how was your sleep?"
Kagome swung her legs over her bed before answering. "Morning Kaede, my sleep? Well I guess you could say normal or okay." Kagome got up and walked over to Kaede with her arm on the backrest.
"Good, now go in the bathroom and take your morning bath. I've already prepared the water and bathing oil. I'll put your clothes near the sink when you are done." Kaede said as she carried the laundry basket over to Lady Kagome's closet. She began hanging them with hangers.
"Alright,"Kagome headed to her bathroom located in her room. Just before entering she paused. Hearing the shifts and movement of Kaede. "By the way, did you ask father if it would be alright for me to go to the village with my friends?"
Kaede waited until she finished the last set of clothes she hanged. Picking up the laundry basket she moved to where Lady Kagome could see her. "Yes Lady Kagome, but he told me he wants you back before dark falls. He then told me he doesn't know what wild and unlike creatures are out there..." Kagome nodded at this, Kaede smiled and went out. Closing the door she left her Lady Kagome to bath and dress.
Kagome stripped down to her skin, putting her nightwear into the nearest hamper she eased her way into the tub. Ah...Kaede sure knows what I like. Easily, she washed herself with bathing soap. Shampooed and conditioned her hair, she sat in the tub. Just thinking

After what seemed like an hour or two, Kagome comes down wearing what Kaede had left for it. Kagome stood at the top of the stairs, she looked gorgeous in what she was wearing. A green kimono with white hibiscus on, along with a white embordering the tips of her kimono. Her hair up in a bun she walked down the stairs to find her brother Souta eating pancakes. Hearing the shifts of movement he looked up at Kagome. Seeing it was just her he continued to eat breakfast. Kagome looked at her younger brother. He had only combed half of his hair and was aseated at the table in his red kimono, swinging his legs.
"Souta, you know that's rude..."Kagome said breaking the silence she took a seat across her brother.
"I don't care, its not like we're at a formal meeting. Plus this is what everyone does, everyone that's cool anyway."Souta said sticking his tongue at her. Kagome responded by rolling her eyes. She awaited until Kaede got into the room.
"Are you hungry my Lady?" Kaede said as she walked in. Kagome was following her with her eyes.
"No, I was just going to tell you that I'm going to be leaving now." Kagome said as she got out of her seat. She walked slowly backwards to the main entrance. Kaede just nodded in response.
"Alright, but remember what I told you. Be back before night falls." Kaede said with a serious look. Kagome nodded and smiled, before heading out the door she grabbed a small brown pack of gold. It was her sack of money.
