Second: Lullaby

The fifteen years girl in a fine junihitoe sat lonely on a tatami floor in her room where can see the cherry blossom trees in the private garden. Beside her form are her home works, study books and a cup of white tea.

'I want to drink a café ole and have a cup cake.'

"Kagome-sama" the little girl slid a rice paper door and sat beside her.

"Yes, Rin"

"Can you tell Rin a tale of a girl and a rabbit?"

"A girl and a rabbit?"

"A girl fell into the rabbit hole."

"Oh! It's might be Alice in wonderland."

"Yes"

"Alright and what is chapter that I had been stopped?"

"Alice joins the tea party with the March Hare, the Cheshire Cat and the Hatter."

"I see" She looks for a book when the young girl handed it to her. "Thank you"

Rin looked at the picture in the book while a school girl told the next chapter of Alice.

"A large rose-tree stood near the entrance of the garden: the roses growing on it were white, but there were three gardeners at it, busily painting them red.

Alice thought this a very curious thing, and she went nearer to watch them, and just as she came up to them she heard one of them say…"

The two human girls joined their peaceful time and stop at the chapter ninth when Kagome found Rin fell asleep on the soft pillow next to her.

"Have a good dream, Rin" She patted the girl head and laid beside the girl to get sleep.

The girl walked down the hall to find his study room on the western wing but it is not easy to find. She sat against the wall in the hallway and turned her head around to find someone but nobody here.

'How can I find him?' She sighed lightly. 'His castle looks like a labyrinth and I hope that I will die before I give birth.'

"Sesshoumaru-sama" She sighed again and played with her hair. She thanked Sesshoumaru that he allowed her wore only five layers of junihitoe not like the other lady in feudal era or heian era those they will wear twelve layers of the costume.

"Miko"

"Sesshoumaru-sama" She gladded to hear her lover's voice after sat lonely in the quiet hallway for one hour.

"What are you doing here?"

"I tried to find your study room but I got lost."

The demon lord pulled her soft hand up and led the way to the room.

"This Sesshoumaru thinks he should do you a map before you get lost again."

'Sesshoumaru, you…'

"He knows what do you think, miko."

'Can he read my mind?'

"He can't read your mind but your face and scent."

A slim hand home work to the last mathematical problem to find the result of the system of linear equation with two variables.

"What is it?"

"My math homework but I cannot find the answer yet."

"May this Sesshoumaru know your math?"

The girl sent him the math book and turned to her notebook again.

Rin plays with her young lord name Kaito on the clearing with a school girl and a servant name Chizu at the close of spring near the castle. There is surrounding with the blossom trees, flower shrubs, and two springs crossed the clearing.

"Kaito"

"Dah-dah"

"He cannot speak yet." Kagome gave her a smile.

"But he usually speaks with Lord Sesshoumaru."

"In their language"

"Yes, Kagome-sama"

"Take him here, Rin. Kaito needs rest."

The little girl held her young lord up and walked forward the school girl and Chizu at a big blossom tree's root.

"Please sing that song again, Kagome-sama."

"Of cause and you can lie beside him."

"Yes"

The sweet song rang the demons' ears who are in the western castle area and including the demon lord who has a meeting with the councils of the west.

"Lord Sesshoumaru"

"Hn"

"What will you do with her?" A councils asked him while listens to her song.

"I will tell her."

'What will you do, a poor human girl?' The councils continued their meeting again before her harmonic song will lull them to fall asleep during the day.

"What is about that evil, my lord?"

"She said the jewel is almost complete but there are three shards are missing."

"There are someone hide and use the magic to cover them from her sense."

"Maybe"

"But there are lots of powerful demons in the land."

"Hn"

The western lord sat on a soft pad in the study room next to a blossom garden in the western wing while the toad demon is busy with the mountain of letters and some documents. The lord senses a human girl and his pure-blood pup are on the way in a few yards.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in, miko"

"Sesshoumaru-sama, Kaito has a problem."

"Let me check him"

The girl hands him the enfant and sat at the same table as he seated.

"Jaken"

"Yes, my lord"

"Call the healer"

"In a minute, my lord"

A healer arrived at the room and held the pup up. He looked at his shining golden eyes and passed his hand from left to right at the young lord eyes.

"He fights with the holy power and tried to sum it up with his devil and the beast."

"Kaito" Kagome sank on the pad while the western lord supported her form to lean against him.

"Does he hurt much?"

"Not much as you think, Kagome-sama" The healer returned the pup to his mother and went out of the room left the parents and the pup together.

"Sesshoumaru-sama"

"He will be fine, miko." He patted her head and put Kaito on a small mattress. "You need rest, miko."

"No, he needs a care."

"I will look after him while you sleep." He laid the girl down and patted her head to comfort her.

The demon lord lay beside his pup opposite the human girl then Kaito grasped his clawed finger and her fine finger and fell asleep.

"Mama is always with you, Kaito." She kissed his crescent moon and looked at the sleeping lord in on the opposite side.

"I said he needs the care and you will care for him but why you fell asleep now, Sesshoumaru."

Somewhere, a voice calls, in the depths of my heart

May I always be dreaming, the dreams that move my heart

So many tears of sadness, uncountable through and through

I know on the other side of them I'll find you
