The portal opened into a large office. It had plush carpet, and a large wooden desk. Above the desk was a large flat panel screen. There were several built-in bookcases behind the desk also. There were several chairs and side tables scattered around the room; numerous file cabinets covered one wall.

"Kagome, this is Prince Koenma." Kurama pointed to a short toddler with a huge pacifier in his mouth, who was standing in a chair behind an extremely large desk.

"And, he's your boss?" Kagome asked, smirking. She walked over a picked him up. "He's just a baby! How KAWAII!" Kagome hugged him as he sputtered.

"Put me down! I am not a baby! I am Prince Koenma. I am older than you!"

Kagome's eyes widened as she stared at, what she thought, was a very intelligent and advanced baby. She sat him on the desk.

"I'm sorry. You just, you don't look like…Are you sure your older than me?"

"My appearance can be quite confusing at first. You get used to it." Prince Koenma shrugged. "Anyways, Lady Kagome, my father would like to speak to you, alone. George will show you the way."

A big blue ogre nodded and held out his hand.

"Lady Kagome."

"Wow. This just gets weirder and weirder. First a portal to another world, then a talking baby, and now a blue ogre guide? No offense."

George just smiled and opened the door for her. Once the door was shut, Koenma turned to his team.

"Where's Hiei?"

"Oh, umm…" Yuusuke stuttered.

"Shorty's got a crush." Kuwabara exploded laughing.

"Hiei left instead of getting into the portal." Botan answered.

"Yes, well, I suppose that's only to be expected of him."

-----------------------------------------

Kagome shook her head after leaving King Enma's office. King Enma had explained the importance of figuring out the bond the Shikon had created. Kagome had seen the dangers of the Jewel and had agreed whole-heartedly with the King. She asked if there could be reverse side-effects, and King Enma told her that was one thing they would look into. King Enma had offered Kagome a room in the Rekai, while medical and spiritual examinations were conducted to determine the exact nature of the bond of the Shikon no Tama to the Shikon Miko. Kagome was concerned about the examinations until King Enma assured her that she would have a say in the exams; and that she would not miss school for it. King Enma also explained the importance of keeping the Shikon Miko safe, and informed her she was being transferred to Sarayashiki, so that Prince Koenma's team could watch over her. Kagome was not happy about being transferred, but was pleased that she would not be missing anymore school.

George escorted her back to Koenma's office. Koenma, Botan, Kurama, and Sally, another ogre whom she was introduced to later, were all waiting on her; Yuusuke and Kuwabara had already been dismissed. Koenma introduced Kagome to Sally and explained that Sally would show her around, and take her to her room. Kurama was assigned to pick Kagome up for school on Monday; since it was Friday, she had all weekend to settle in and be examined by the Rekai doctors. Prince Koenma dismissed them all when Kagome stated she was ready to get settled in.

-----------------------------

Sally amicably led the way to Kagome's room, showing her the kitchen (and introducing her to the cooks on duty), women's restrooms, and her own room, in case Kagome needed her. After a few detours, Sally pulled out a key and handed it to Kagome.

Kagome took the key and opened the door. As she walked in she was astonished. The room was easily larger than the entire first floor of her shrine. In the middle of the room was a king size cherry wood canopy bed with intricate vine carvings throughout the headboard. The curtains were a sheer white lace and were tied to the bed with red ribbons. The sheets on the bed were a deep red silk, with white lace vine patterns. The cherry wood dresser was longer than a twin sized bed with carvings matching the headboard. In one corner was a gigantic matching bookcase filled with books. On another wall was a mini-fridge.

"This room is HUGE! King Enma must be crazy! Why would I need all this room?!" Kagome rolled her eyes and sat her small bag down on the dresser to start unpacking. She came to realize that her things would barely fill one of the enormous drawers. She sighed, looking up from the dresser and realized that Sally was still standing in the doorway, waiting patiently.

"Sally?"

"I just wanted to show you where the extra towels are."

-----------------------------

Early Saturday morning, Kagome was awoken by a knock on her door.

"Come in!" She yelled from her king size bed that King Enma had assigned to her. She rubbed her eyes and sleepily pushed the hair from her face.

"I was sent to show you to the examination room."

"I haven't bathed yet. Can you wait about 30 minutes?"

"The doctors said to tell you to bathe afterwards. They need your scent." Sally answered and walked over to the bed. She held out a folded white gown and explained that it was for Kagome to change into before she saw the doctors. Kagome wrinkled her nose and began changing.

"Are they demons?"

"No."

"Hmmm…then how would they be able to smell me?" Kagome murmured, too low for Sally to hear. Kagome ran her hair brush through her hair, and put on her robe before telling Sally she was ready.

-----------------------------

Sally led Kagome to the examination rooms in the Rekai. Kagome noticed a few humans, demons, and other beings that she was not sure how to classify, sitting in what looked suspiciously like a waiting room. Sally walked right past the secretary's desk and through a pair of swinging doors. The swinging doors led to a hallway with countless numbered doors on either side. Sally walked to the door labeled 23.

"This will be your exam room, Kagome. Normally, the doctors will just see you in whatever room is open, but since you are high priority, a room has been assigned to you. "

"I wish they wouldn't put others out…"

"There's over 500 exam rooms, I'm sure no one is being put out. Don't worry." Sally smiled reassuringly.

Kagome walked into examination room number 23 and turned around and walked out, almost tripping over Sally. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She slowly counted to ten and turned around and walked back in.

Five angels stood in the exam room, wearing scrubs, watching her silently.


AN: Sorry it took so long, this chapter was kinda slow, and I'm not happy with it at all! If anyone has any ideas how to improve it, I would be happy to hear them!

Thanks for reading!
