So my mother moved me, my brothers, and sister to the palace and each of us given choice of rooms. My brother Souta choice a room in the old servant quarters, saying he didn't want to be part of the family. My brother Miroku choice his room in the northern wing, for he liked the style of the place and my older sister Kikyo, choice her room near Miroku. Kikyo was not my sister by blood, she was a child from another family that mom knew and she took her in and raised her.
My mom told me that I could have any room I wanted as long as it was near her, I was her little baby and she told me that I was the first girl born in the family in five hundred years. So I went off and started looking for a room. The north wing was too classy for me, the east to dull and the south wing rooms where to small. So I wondered to the western wing.
Once in the western wing I found it to be dark and dusty. I stood at the door to the wing when my mom saw me.
"That is the western wing. Are you going to look in there?" my mom said
"Yeah, no other room I feel is just right for me." I said
"Well let me come with you because I think the doors are locked." I nodded and stepped thru the threshold. I felt a sudden chill run down my spine and something pulling me to a certain door. I felt the pull stop at a door with two dogs ready to attack each other. My mom saw me stop and she unlocked the door.
The room was beautiful. A high four poster bed sat at one wall, with silks and furs lying on the bed ready to be used. A vanity table sat in the far right corner. It was lined with tons on bottles, tubes and tins of make-up. The drawers where full of jewelry, combs, hair pins and ribbon. On the wall that faced the bed held two doors, a fireplace, and a wardrobe. The wardrobe was filled with many different kimonos for a male. The doors led to either a bathroom with a natural hot spring or a closet filled with female kimonos, shoes and a staircase that went down into a dark hallway. Back in the room the fire looked like it never had been put out or need wood.
"Kagome you chose the master chamber. I will go have your brothers bring your things in to this room and let you wonder around for a while all right." I nodded again and set back to work of figuring where my things would go. A little after two in the afternoon my things still hadn't came, so I went to look for them when my mom caught up with me in one of the many libraries
"Darling there has been a miss up your things. They have been sent to a homeless shelter. I did get them to get your books, laptop, and a couple of other things." Kagome was shocked
"Then what am I to do about clothes?" Kagome asked
"We own this palace and since we are turning it into a living museum you can play the part as princess of it with the entire palace." Kagome sighed
"What are the rest of you going to do?" Kagome asked
"Well, Miroku and Kikyo are being in the ticket box, Souta is being the chef for the restaurant, and you and I are tour guides" my mom. My eyes widened, for nothing excited me more to tell about something's history. Since my grandfather died I was always into the history of things. So being a tour guided was a dream came true.
So the day after we moved into the palace I started learning everything that I could on the palace. I learned about the west wing and how it held the only the family of the west, the northern wing was for political guest, the eastern wing was for lesser lords and the southern wing was for random guests. As I learned more, I felt that I was truly one with the castle.
Months went by and we drew closer to the opening of the palace and we had to hire people. Souta had moved back to the shrine because it was closer to his school for chefs, Kikyo had left to go on a year long trip in Europe. Miroku stayed and dressed as a priest with a cursed hand. Mother ended up doing tickets because Miroku was having trouble with remembering the prices.
The first month after opening, people came pouring in to the palace and really started to enjoy it. I had studied every book in every library of the palace. I learned dates like who had lived in what room, when each wing was add. I also memorized the order of the many families that lived in the palace. I would tell the lineage on my many tours.
"The first family was the Torons, they ruled from a palace farther north that no longer excited and when their family died out the next family to take the throne built the palace here. The family was the temons and they only started the palace but the only son to the family was killed in battle." I said when I was on my 'royal tour'.
"So who did the palace come to be this big?" asked one of my guests.
"Well after the next family, who has not been found out yet was the tashio clan took over and built it. Inu-tashio was the one that finished the palace and his sons, who have also not been found yet, had the final wing finished."
Normal view
Kagome's day went on as showing people around but never in the western wing. People asked but she never told about it. The room she found that is magically cleaned itself. Though she was alone in the wing she always had s a noise that was calm and made her feel like there was someone in every room. Her mother had tried to live in the palace with her and Miroku but it was too big for her to live in so she moved out and back in with Souta back on the shrine.
"Miroku have you felt a connection to this place?" Kagome said at supper one night
"Yeah, so you feel it too." He said after realizing that he wasn't the only one that felt the palace's pull to places.
"Yeah I feel a pull to my bedroom, the libraries and other places. Where are the places that you feel the pull to?"
"Well my room for one, a lady's chambers that happens to be right next to mine and a couple of the room s in the main house."
"Wow. Maybe we have a past life in this palace. Come lets us see." Miroku pulled Kagome down to one of the many rooms which she thought to be a shrine but there was a statue of the last known lord.
"Where are we?" Kagome asked as she watched Miroku light a dozen or so candles.
"This is the room of the last lord. I believe it was lord inu-tashio. You see, he is the ticket to get the past life." The two sat and where thrown into the past. They saw Miroku's past as a monk who was the best friend of the lord Tashio. They were talking about a chamber and if it was set for the young sleeping lord and if Miroku's past life's wife was ready to guard the prince till a female child was born. Then the scene was changed and they only saw darkness and a bright light swirling together and then only Kagome heard a voice say 'you shale be born when the land is right and if history deems it worthy to reopen the past.' Then both were back into the chamber with the dead king.
"What the fucking hell was that? My past was only darkness" Kagome was now pissed and had a pink glow around her.
"You must be the child that my past life was talking about. I must say that my past life's wife is very cute." Miroku had a perverted look to him
"Pervert" they laught and left to go to bed wondering so much about their past.
Well i hope you like it i plan to update at lease once a week.
