Authors Note: I don't own Inu-Yasha-Tachi
Love Musou and me! Ha! He's the best! Probably the best thing that ever came out of Naraku. I was crying yesterday when I witnessed him yet again run around naked. Seriously the man should keep some spare clothes or something. I find it hilarious also that either mud or shadows appear mid waist down and disappears when only his butt is showing. I'll say it again. Love Musou… and or course me for pointing out the obvious and for creating the best fanficiton you will ever read. Yeah, right! And HA! I made a nice long chapter name.

Chapter 3: Open the Door to Endless Possibilities
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
"There's a door to his room?" Kagome growled loudly, a bit too loudly for Kyoko's taste. Sure the room was beautiful and elegant. The room had a maroon decor with floor to ceiling windows at the back of the room going out onto a balcony. By the windows was a very large bed. There was a wardrobe in the corner and a fireplace with a couch in front off in another corner of the room. The problem was, having to share a bathroom with Sesshomaru. Not only did Kagome have to share a bathroom with him, but also the bathroom had a door into his room meaning the bathroom was a passage into each other's rooms.
Unfortunately for Kagome Sesshomaru had overheard her complaint when he was passing to go into his own room. It didn't help any that neither Kyoko or Kagome had thought of closing the door, which might have muffled the sound and stopped Sesshomaru from inviting himself into the room.
"What is it?" Sesshomaru drawled, half annoyed half not even caring. Really, he was wondering if making Kagome move to the room would help her remember or only prevent her from doing so.
"I'll tell you what. I can get used to living in the same castle as you. And I get used to having to sleep in the bed room next to yours, but now I have to share a bathroom with you?" Kagome whined impatiently.
Sesshomaru gave Kyoko an icy stare giving her the queue to leave, which she did so obediently and quickly. Closing the door behind her as she left the room. There was a dead silence as Kagome stood a meter away from Sesshomaru, staring him down. Sesshomaru didn't so much as move.
"Don't get so upset, you have your own cupboard for your stuff. And anyways, you are my mate. We are actually supposed to sleep in the same bed. You are lucky that I even let you have your own room for the moment. This room was actually only for when I am not here and you are alone. But you are warned that you will not always be sleeping in here. You will have to sleep with me some time or another. You are lucky you don't have some other demon as your mate because they would be forcing you to do more then just sleep with them." Sesshomaru growled in a controlling way. Kagome didn't back down, crossing her arms across her chest halfway through Sesshomaru's speech. Though Kagome was happy to hear she had her own cupboard she wasn't backing down now. No, she wouldn't lose.
"Don't think for one minute you're sleeping with me any time soon." Kagome persisted, not wanting to accept defeat.
"Keep this up and the time will come sooner then you'd think." Sesshomaru said without a hint of regret. Kagome just gaped. He wouldn't dare. Noticing that she had finally lost Kagome just clenched her teeth and looked away.
"Fine, my Lord." She snarled sarcastically. "But may I ask you one question my Lord?"
"If it appeases you."
"Would you ever make me do more then sleep with you like the other demons? Are you any better as you say you are? Or do you not have the same desires as the others." Kagome asked, half afraid to even ask, wondering if she had gone too far and provoked him enough to punish her. Sesshomaru stared at Kagome; She wasn't looking at him and seemed distressed.
He didn't know how to reply. Saying he would, would actually make him just as bad as the others. Saying he wouldn't might make Kagome feel safe and she would disobey him freely. And if he didn't give her an answer he might just feel bad making her feel so distraught.
"I can't believe you would try to compare me to such kind of demon's. Even if you should defy me I can promise you I would never beat you or make you mate with me. Only lesser demons do such things to their mates and I find it disgusting. But don't worry; I am sure I will be able to come up with better punishments where I can induce fear without resorting to any of those things. Is that understood?" Sesshomaru scowled, happy with himself because he had found a suitable answer. Kagome finally lifted her eyes to his and grinned.
"I guess… you're not always the bad guy are you?" Kagome said grinning lovingly. Sesshomaru scoffed and left the room. But before he closed the door he left Kagome with a few words.
"You might want to get cleaned up before dinner in a few hours. Maybe you can start getting used to the bathroom." He said mockingly. Kagome's grin left and she was about to yell after him but he closed the door before any sound could come out. Kagome clenched her fists.
"Who does he think he is? I can't believe I actually thought he could be nice!"

"Uh, Kagome-Chan?" Kyoko said as she knocked at the door. Kagome greeted Kyoko with a wide smile. She was wearing the black kimono with silver flowers. Her eyes seemed carefree and full of beauty. Her hair still cascaded off her shoulders, now shinning from an obvious cleaning.
"Hey Kyoko-Chan! It feels so nice to feel clean again." Kagome said happily.
"Oh, so I am guessing you have gotten over having to share a bathroom with Lord Sesshomaru?"
"Naw. I still resent him for doing everything to me. I just hate to feel dirty, yah know?"
"Ok, well, dinner is in half an hour. I came up to help you get ready for dinner but it seems you have accomplished to do so, on your own." Kyoko said as Kagome invited her in, closing the door behind her.
"I think I can dress myself. You don't really have to worry about things like that most of the time. Do you have anything you have to do?"
"Not really. I was supposed to help you and then take you down."
"Great! You can help me put some of my things away!" Kagome said as she passed Kyoko some Kimono's to put away. "It's still too much for me to handle. Being a demon and all. You may never guess but I was an experiment human who accidentally got turned into a demon. And not only do I have to cope with that now I have to live with a heartless man who could care less if died."
"No! That's not true!" Kyoko said turning around and shaking her head. Kagome raised an eyebrow. Kyoko finally noticed she shouldn't have said that and blushed before turning around to continue putting the kimono's away. "Uh. Never mind."
"Oh, so you like Sesshomaru-Sama? If you want him I won't stop you from pursuing him." Kagome said shrugging.
"No." Kyoko persisted. "I have served Lord Sesshomaru all my life. Growing up without a father Sesshomaru's own father seemed like a father to me. Besides, I like someone else." Kyoko added, blushing, remembering the great guy with the cute ears.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I never knew. Actually how old are you?" Kagome asked as she went back to sorting her stuff in the bathroom. The cupboard appeased her. She thought it would be big but not as big as it was.
"I'm sixteen in human terms." Kyoko answered simply.
"Wow! Me too! But to be a servant your whole life…" Kagome said silently, taking pity on Kyoko.
"Actually I like working here. I could be far worse off. Here I get a decent room, great food, and I get to work for people like you! Normally life here would be boring because Sesshomaru-Sama would spend all his time off on the lands or discussing war fares with the other Lords. But ever since you came around he has chosen to stick around… Um, never mind." Kyoko said, mentally berating herself for being so stupid as to say what she did.
"Wait a minuet… What did you say about Lord Sesshomaru since I have come around?" Kagome said, walking over to Kyoko and eyeing her suspiciously.
"I said never mind. It's not really important. Oh, and it's probably time for dinner anyways. Come on." Kyoko said quickly, grabbing Kagome by her wrist and heading out the door.
"Uh…" Kagome murmured as she blinked, and watched Kyoko drag her down the hall. Finally Kyoko slowed her pace near the end of the hall.
"That was close." Kyoko whispered slowly only to lift her head again to see Kagome in front of her giving her a suspicious stare. Kyoko quickly faked a smile. "What?"
"What do you mean that was close?" Kagome said, not sounding demanding but just curious. As she asked a playful grin escaped.
"No really nothing at all!" Kyoko said with the cheesy smile still on her face.
"Come on! Tell me!" Kagome said as she walked over and started to tickle Kyoko. Kyoko started to giggle and laugh. "I could get my brother to spit anything out and it's got to work on you to." Kagome finally stopped and finally pulled away, watching Kyoko laugh with satisfaction on her face.
"It's nothing…" Kyoko said between chuckles.
"Kyoko-Chan?" A familiar voice asked at the end of the hall. Kyoko opened her eyes to see Sesshomaru staring her. Kagome slowly turned around and to her surprise also saw Sesshomaru. But as soon as Sesshomaru's eyes settled on Kagome the hardness in them softened.
"Uh, Sesshomaru-Sama!" Kagome said with surprise in her voice.
"Miss Higurashi, Kyoko-Chan, dinner is about to start so hurry up." He said flatly, going back to walking to the dinning room.
"Hai!" The two girls said in unison as they bowed quickly. Neither of them lifted their heads until Sesshomaru left at which time Kagome opened an eye before bursting out in laughter.
"That was hilarious. Maybe I will like it here after all." Kagome said between giggles.
"Yah sure. Isn't it always fun to embarrass Kyoko?" Kyoko joked sarcastically.
"Aw, sorry Kyoko-Chan. It was just…"
"Come on, Sesshomaru-Sama wasn't lying when he said we'd be late for dinner." Kyoko said as she grabbed Kagome's hand again, running down the halls once more until they reached the corridor to the dinning room. "Now go." Kyoko said reassuringly as she gently pushed Kagome through the doors and into the dinning room where Sesshomaru, Jaken, Shippou, and Rin had already taken their places. Kagome turned around to yell back at Kyoko but another servant was already closing the door. Kagome hopelessly turned back to the table of people. Everyone's eyes were on Kagome. Even some of the servants who had had their heads bowed had glanced up and snickered. Kagome's ears twitched and her tail gracefully went back and forth. Rin and Shippou were grinning at her while Sesshomaru jut stared at her without emotion. Jaken seemed the unhappiest of the bunch. He seemed to be giving Kagome a cold stare.
"Uh…" Kagome said silently, stepping back a bit. Sesshomaru smirked slightly making Kagome tremble. How could she live with this man when she could hardly pick herself to even eat with him?
"You may sit by Rin." Sesshomaru said calmly nodding his head towards a chair at the opposite end of him at the long table. Kagome hesitated but was helped to her seat as two of the servants who had snickered stepped forward. One pulled out the chair for Kagome while the other gently prodded her to sit. Finally Kagome conformed and sat down. Almost immediately after she sat conversation struck up and the food was placed on the table. Rin and Shippou talked heatedly with Kagome while Jaken discussed statistics with Sesshomaru who was listening half-heartedly. His real energy was spent glancing every few minuets at Kagome. He had never seen her so lively. This must have been how Kagome was normally, a normal human with human emotions and oppositions against conforming to one being. She was now without discipline and it was obvious she was less mature and in a way, afraid of him. Maybe this had happened for the better. So Sesshomaru could see how Kagome was and needed to be to be happy.

Authors Note
Ok, that was in a way funny. It seems now that Kyoko and Kagome are becoming closer friends then they were before. Unfortunately for Kyoko keeping stuff from Kagome is harder then one would think. Next chapter we will be meeting one of my cute new characters that will make Sesshomaru's quest harder then ever. For now I'll just call her fangirl while I do have a name for her. Ja!
04/15/2006: Well that was uneventful! Sorry…

"Kyoko added, blushing, remembering the great guy with the cute ears." (How many ways can I say KAWAII? Kyoko likes Inu-Yasha! XD)
"Uh…" Kagome said silently, stepping back a bit. Sesshomaru smirked slightly making Kagome tremble. How could she live with this man when she could hardly pick herself to even eat with him? (Creepy, reminds me of my creepy basketball coach. Rumor has it he likes young girls and looked down the prettiest girl in schools shirt once. I mean seriously can he talk to a girl without having to touch them? Once again, scary man I say!)
