AN Enjoy :3

I don't own Inuyasha...

This time when Kagome was lead through the academy doors she did not stand gapping like a fool to admire the beauty of the building, in favour of keeping up with her little inu servant, Jun. Though she had to give praise to the designer in charge, for the way the walls clashed in a battle of old and new, the glorious war scenes depicted in tapestries that hung neatly on the walls next to large oak doors as well as the blue and silver (the western families colours) scheme. Everything summed up to be the perfect balance of tradition and staying in trend with modern movements.

You could tell by the way the halls and staircases twisted and turned into a maze like structure that this building was a castle made in yonder years with the purpose of protecting its occupants. Kagome hoped the school provided a map, or else she'd end up in a constant detention for tardiness...

"We approach your chambers My Lady." Jun's small voice would've been missed by Kagome if she didn't have youkai hearing.

"Lead the way. And please call me Kagome." As soon as the words left her lips she regretted it, it was the first time Kagome had used her voice outside of her hide-away; although she had put on charms and concealed her power and aura her voice still held the tone of a true lady. It's not like she could help it, the manners had basically been beaten into her as a child.

"Too late now you idiot!" Kagome's beast growled – already annoyed with being twice as caged away in her master's mind. At Kagome's reply Jun's eyes widened as she hurried her step even more to distance herself from Kagome, in fear of such a strong voice.

Soon the pair reached a door painted white, with bold black letters on the frame reading:

'West Wing. Only Inuyoukai Permitted Entry'

"P- please follow closely My La- Kagome." Jun said in an even meeker voice than before. Kagome opted for a nod, rather than scare the poor woman again with her voice. Looks like she was going to have to work on trying to find a spell to manipulate her voice into sounding less intimidating.

As the small inu opened the door Kagome's gut dropped. Another portal, oh how she was beginning to loath them. Jun disappeared into the flurry of glassy colours, despite the distaste she felt Kagome followed. As she passed through the threshold of the door she closed her eyes; waiting for the prickling feeling and twisting of her stomach to occur – when nothing happened Kagome opened her eyes behind the thick lenses and looked around.

Would this place seize to amaze her?

She stood next to Jun in the middle of a sparsely wooded area, the earth beneath their feet a healthy green, the air clean and in the distance were mounds of rolling hills dotted with random bunches of flowers. When Kagome discretely took a whiff of the air she could pick out several other inus in a five mile radius – it surprised the academy held so many, dog demons were known to be approaching extinction worldwide, most pups are killed in fear of the strength they will one day hold. How pitiful to kill an innocent pup because you feel threatened...

"This way please." Jun said, soundlessly walking eastward. Soon they reach a magnificent cave; the entrance was an arc formation of large boulders twined together with ivy vines, big enough to only just fit her true form through, the opening shimmered slightly because of an opaque barrier. Jun walked straight ahead until she came within a foot of the cave. "I am not permitted to enter your den, I will leave you to unpack and call when you must attend diner. Good day Kagome." Juns spoke whilst looking at Kagome's shoes, and then sped away before Kagome had a chance to say her thanks.

Cautiously Kagome approached the entrance, took a breath and walked forward hopping the barrier didn't malfunction and zap her. Lady luck was on her side it seemed as she easily passed through unscathed.

Inside seemed normal enough, a light hung from the ceiling illuminating the peach coloured walls, white carpet, black leather settee; flat screen tv and the desk with a chair in the far corner. Pleased with the first room Kagome moved to the white door and openly gapped.

From modern to positively stone aged. This room was obviously a bedroom; in the corner was a queen sized bed covered in a plush blue duvet – normal enough. What really caught Kagome's attention was the sheer size of the room, she could literally skip in her true form and still have a wide birth. With the piles of soft looking furs spread out thickly on the stone floor it looked like someone was expecting her to sleep in true form- maybe if she strengthen the barrier enough to conceal her real identity she would.

The now dubbed bedroom was dimly lit by youkai torches that flicked on and off when in contact with her aura. Further back where two other doors Kagome ran over with her youkai speed, as trudging over the masses of furs would've took forever.

Inside the door on the left was a relatively large closet again lit with an overhead light, her luggage on the floor next to two large oak chests in-between parallel wood shelves. Not wanting to have to come back later to unpack, Kagome quickly but neatly placed her belongings into designated spaces then left the closet.

When she ventured into the last door Kagome didn't hold back her excited squeal. A hot spring! In the centre of the white tiled room was a steaming pool of water fed by a small waterfall. Neatly tucked away in the corner was a large shelf of bathing products next to it a walk in shower. As more steam blurred her glasses Kagome became more definite in her decision.

She dashed to the cave opening and stood just inside the barrier, for a second she studied her surrounding to make sure no one was near. Kagome then focused, slipping the spells, which kept her powers contained; temporarily away she concentrated on adding a translucent barrier over the entire inner cave. Finally, with some sweat on her brow Kagome had succeeded in making sure her powers are hidden from anyone outside her den. Now then, to the bath...
