HAHA! HOW YA LIKE ME NOW BITCHES! I'M BACK AND I'M BAAAAAD! ahem...sorry for the sudden outburst, anyway...here's the next chapter! Oh and now I figured out what exactly Miroku is! It's called a 'Cadelabra' but I'm still calling him a candlestick ok? Ok well, enjoy(do you ever notice that I always end the beginning mini-authors note with 'enjoy!' ? Just curious...)!
"That was wonderful!" Kagome said, clapping her hands in awe
"Thank you Kagome-chan, thank you thank you" Shippou said, scurrying everyone away "Now off to bed..." He said, making a gesture to Kagome, clearly saying 'GET OUT BEFORE THE MASTER SEES YOU!' But an idea struck her.
"Oh I couldn't possibly go to sleep now!" she dramatically exclaimed "It's my first time being in an enchanted castle you know..." she smirked
"Eh...wh-what gave you that idea!" Shippou said, hands behind his back he gave Miroku a hard nudge in the elbow as if saying 'This is all your fault idiot!' and plastering an innocent smile on his face, Miroku did the same, minus the nudge in the elbow.
Kagome put her elbows on the table and held her head up with her hands "I figured it out on my own." she laughed at their nervousness and sighed dramatically "It sure would be nice to look around-"
Miroku piped up at this "Would you like a tour?" But, of course, Shippou had another one of 'the master's rules' to throw at him.
"Now now I'm sure we can find something else to do right?" he lowered his voice to where only Miroku could hear him "We wouldn't want anyone snooping around in the..." he trailed off, Kagome just giggled.
"Oh come on Shippou! I bet you know everything about everywhere in the castle, am I right?" she smirked slyly
Shippou blushed "Oh well I wouldn't say-...well actually...yes, in fact I do!"
"Then I'm sure that you could show me."
/Somewhere else in the castle/
"-And this room here was carved entirely out of marble stone... notice that this design was also made in the Baroque period..." Shippou said, occasionally pointing to a suit of armor, or some kind of design throughout the castle, it was really quite boring and Kagome easily got distracted.
Shippou had now lead them into a room with white and black checkered marble floor and a long red and gold carpet desending down the hall, the walls were painted a sandy gold color and there were about fifty suits of armor standing up, one line on the right, the other on the left.
Kagome's POV:
Oh this is SO boring! Man this Shippou guy, does he even KNOW what fun is? Come on! Hey...I wonder what those stairs lead to...
Author's POV:
"I'd like to turn your attention to this masterpiece painting by- uh...Kagome-chan? Where are you-" When Shippou caught sight of Kagome walking up the staircase that lead to the west wing, his eyes widened in pure shock, as did Miroku's- he who was going along with the tour and was about asleep if not for seen the look on Shippou's face. The two sped up the stairs with almost a comical dust cloud at their heels to block her way.
"What's up there-?" Kagome asked innocently
"Oh nothing, nothing...it's very dusty the West Wing it is...bland and boring and-"
"So that's the West Wing..." she said while peering up the stairs
"Nice going." Miroku slapped Shippou up-side the head "Baka..."
Kagome giggled "I wonder what he's hiding up there-?"
"OH NOTHING! He's hiding nothing Kagome!" Miroku reassured with a nervous tone
"Then it wouldn't be a problem to go up there..." Kagome took a step up the red carpet stairs, almost immediately Miroku and Shippou were on the step ahead of her, blocking her in the same stance
"Isn't there any other places you'd like to see-?" Shippou pleaded and almost...well, scolded. Kagome took another step forward, the duo right infront of her in an instant again.
"Yes! Like the gardens-" She took another step forward, they took two steps forward
"Or the balcony-" another step forward, another two steps forward
"Or...or the library!" Miroku pleaded, that got her attention!
"You have a library?" she bent down closer to them, as if they were whispering, Shippou and Miroku both said a handful of thanks to Kami as they tried drawling her away from the staircase
"Yes yes! We have tons of books!" Shippou exclaimed
"Mountains of books!" Miroku said while clinging a arm around Shippou's shoulders in a brotherly fashion and the two started dnacing down the hall together.
"Cascades of books!"
"Much to many books than you could ever read in your lifetime!"
"Every book on ever subject and- Kagome?" Shippou stopped and turned around
But Kagome was long gone by the time they noticed her lack of presence.
Kagome tip-toed up the last few steps of the staircase and was currently walking into an old, dark, filthy room. The floor was littered with scraps of cloth, splinters and...glass? Never mind that. Kagome shuddered at the broken mirror at her left and continued through the room. She had just had to come here, it was killing her to walk away, an abnormal wave of curiosity had struck her and now here she was. In this scary dark room. With God knows what.
She came to a stop at a shredded up painting on the wall, it looked as if claws had shredded through it! She could tell that the picture was of a man, a young man, maybe 20 years of age, he had long silver hair and...were those dogs ears?
'KAWAII!' she mentally shrieked
He was very handsome she could tell, her favorite thing was his eyes, glowing golden orbs, they held so many emotions that she couldn't pinpoint particularly what he was supposed to be feeling, she just wished she could stare at them all day long. They were just like the beasts.
'Just like Inuyasha's...'
There was that name again, and now that face. Kagome smiled.
'Where have I seen you before...' A hand trailed up to the man in the painting's face, starting out along his right eye, then down his cheek, then to his lips. She stayed like that for a moment, and only a moment before shrugging it off and continued into the next room.
The next room was very similar to the previous one, it was dark, filthy, shredded. There was a balcony straight across the room that was open with the curtains fluttering in the wind. The object in the middle of the room however was what amazed her. There in the center was an extravagant- yet small, white marble table, in the middle of the table was a glass dome, shining in pink, in that was a slightly wilted rose inside, but one of the most amazing things about it was the rose was levitating! Floating in mid-air! Kagome scrambled over to it quietly and took off the dome- which now she realized was considerably large, and gazed at the rose for a moment. Then, ever so slowly, she raised a hand to the rose to...
"What are you doing here!" Inuyasha yelled, he had leaped out of the darkness, grabbed the glass dome, and gently put it down on the rose(which was very surprising that someone like him could do anything gently!). Kagome, slowly backing away, gave and trembling and stuttered reply
"I-...I'm sorry-"
"I told you not to come here!" The horrid beast prince raged
"B-but I didn't mean any harm-"
"GET OUT!" Inuyasha roared while picking up the nearest objects to him and smashed them- trying to physically get rid of his anger, while Kagome ran for her life.
"GET OOOOOOOUT!" That time half of the kingdom could hear him, no literally: half the kingdom could hear him.
Kagome flew down the stairs(a/n: That's a metaphor people!) and grabbed a worn coat off of the coat rack
"Where are you going Lady Kagome?" Miroku said, barely being able to register her presence because of her speed.
"Promise or no promise, I can't stay here another minute!" She opened the large door to face a terrible storm of ice and snow outside, she took one look back
'Inuyasha...'
And closed the door to run out into the blizzard.
Okay, so maybe curiosity doesn't kill the cat-
But it almost did.
Ok, there you go! Your new chapter! Ok, so I hope some of you were actually LISTENING when in one of the previous chapters(chapter 4 I think...) it said that she thought she had heard his name before, I was NOT putting that there just for you guys to read it, there's a twist up ahead and you need to PAY ATTENTION to the info I'm writing ok?
