Kagome purchased a large variety of ingredients such a beef, pork, chicken, fish, carrots, onions, potatoes, cabbage, seaweed, tomatoes, peppers, beans, eggs,and a very large amount of tea. She even picked up a few other things as well like, sewing string, a few serving dishes, and new tea cups. Kagome happily returned to the manor, keeping as far away as she could from the second path. But unsurprisingly, it vanished. The monster must of taken it too when it was killed and now there would be no chance she would ever meet her hero again. Well, she didn't really have to because she had already thanked him but somehow that didn't seem enough and then again he didn't stick around too long so maybe he wasn't such a nice guy, she thought to herself. Kagome shook her head, why did she care? There were more important things to be focusing on instead of her clumsy foolishness in the woods earlier. It was nothing special or anything so she might as well forget it.

Back at home, Sango and Kikyo were speaking with their mother, Kagura. "Mother, you should see Kagome!" Kikyo hissed. Kagura looked up from her fan that she had been cooling herself with and sat up right from the grand couch she was relaxing on. "What did she do?" she asked her daughter sternly. Kikyo gritted her teeth. "Shes out in the town covered in mud, its disgusting! If word got out that she worked for us, everyone would think we are unclean." She told her mother. Sango on the other hand didn't really think it was a big deal. She certainly didn't care about Kagome, she was just a servant to her but, she didn't hate her either because she had no reason to. Just because she was her stepsister didn't mean anything. Kagura turned to her younger daughter. "Is this true, Sango?" she asked. Sango nodded. "Its just a little gross, I guess." she told her. "Well, this will be taken care of immediately."

She carried everything in through the back door of the manor and entered the kitchen. She began to take out all the vegetables and soak them in a bucket of water, that way they would be clean. As the dark haired girl was picking through the meats and trying to find a way to preserve them, Kagura came in. "Kagome." she plainly said. Her hazel eyes met her step mother's red ones and they stared straight back into her. "Who the hell are you to leave this place looking as uterly and disgusting as you are now?" she asked in the same tone of voice. Kagome gasped and looked down at herself, she didn't notice until just now, its a good thing she didn't track any filth inside. "I-I tripped on the servants route into a puddle and I-I ... I thought if I came back you would be mad." Kagura pressed her lips together and crossed her arms and held a closed fan in her hands. "Pathetic." she spat. "You should be more aware of where you're going, then you wouldn't have to waste time changing clothes, washing more clothes, and lets not forget about how you're making a fool of me and my children." Kagome looked down at her feet and didn't say a word but she clenched her fists and her hair fell over her eyes. "Did I not specifically tell you to not ruin their reputations while you were out?" Kagome didn't move. "It was a mistake."

Kagura didn't say anything more after that and left the room to go and get ready for this evening. Kagome on the other hand, stayed in the kitchen and began cooking. She sliced up the meats and chopped up the vegetables then she boiled the eggs. Everything smelled so delicious and knowing she wouldn't get to eat any of it, Kagome sniffed the air as often as she could. Although, this almost distracted her from boiling the rice. She grabbed some from the pantry and it started to bubble. She made several bowls of steamed rice to go around and plenty of Miso soup to share with everyone who will be attending. Then she prepared many vegetable dishes and enough meat to last a couple of days! By now the kitchen was hot and Kagome was glad she hadn't changed her clothes yet.

By now it was evening and the sun was setting and Kagome was checking off a mental list in her head to make sure she had finished everything. "Lets see..." she held up her hand pushed back fingers as if she was marking something off. "Cleaned the house... washed the dishes... set the table...cooked dinner... and...-" Then Sango came down stairs followed by Kikyo. Sango seemed a tiny bit worried. "Mother, there's a tear in my Kimono." she whined, afraid her mom would be upset with her. Kagome looked at both of the girls in their beautiful kimonos, they were even nicer than this morning! Kagura looked at the her daughter then at the tear, it was ripped from the bottom to her waste. She made a face and growled. "This wont do. Sango, how did this happen?" You could tell she was trying to keep her cool but was slowly losing her patience. Sango only shook her head and shrugged and continued trying not to upset her mother.

Guests were beginning to arrive and so did the entertainment. Kagura looked at Sango and told her to go upstairs and not come down until she said so. She hurried up to her room and closed the door behind her. "Kikyo, I need you to stay down her and be social, okay?" Kikyo nodded and walked off to the crowd, which wasn't something she particularly liked to do but seeing as though her mother told her to do so, she had no choice. Kagura looked for Kagome and when she found her she spoke harshly. "What are still doing dressed like that? Go change! And I need you to go help Sango. Damn what are you waiting for you wench? Go!" Kagome did as she were told and knocked on Sango's door. "U-hm.." was all that she heard from inside. "Sango! Its me, Kagome!" she said knocking again. "Ma'am sent me up here to fix your kimono!" "Come in!" Sango said.

Kagome entered her bedroom and made she to shut the door behind her. She pulled out her thread and needle. "I don't know how this happened, but I hope mother isn't too upset about it." she said. Kagome smiled, "It's really not a big deal, this can be fixed in no time." she said reassuringly. Sango was sitting on her bed and Kagome knelled down to sew up the tear. It was nicely fixed and surely would last the night Kagome stood put her things away. "It would look a lot nicer if you had a ribbon or something to tie to it." she said. Sango looked around. "There, take that one off that thing. I use it to tie up my hair but I have other ones." Kagome took the ribbon and fixed it onto her kimono and it was long enough that no one should realize the stitches. "All done!" she said proudly. "Oh, Kagome thank you!" Sango said happily, looking down at the tear. Then she looked at kagome with gratitude. It was the nicest Sango had ever treated her.
