Chapter 8

It hadn't token her long but she had found the wisdom wing. So far she was the only one in that wing. 'Figures…everyone probably went to the second or third floor.' She thought as she followed her feet. Just as she reached a dead end, Kagome noticed a book on the floor. "Gee…for the wisdom wing is sure is clean." Kagome whispered as she picked up the book. As soon as she touched it, Kagome noticed a seal on the wall in front of her.

"Well…if it kills me it kills me." Kagome said as she touched the seal and easily remove it. One it was gone, a part of the wall disappeared only to reveal a strange stair case. Without even thinking Kagome walked up three flight of stairs only to find a small but well designed hall way. As she walked down the hall way Kagome felt safe and happy. She could feel some weird energy that was trying to comfort her and after growing tired of it, Kagome stopped walking and walked over to the well and quickly dispelled the protective charm that had tried to surround her.

"Finally." Kagome hissed as she reached the large western, style door. "Shot gun." Kagome added as she easily placed a seal of her own to hide her room. Knowing that the lord and lady would still be able to break through. Just as he entered the room, Kagome was surprised to find a girls standing on the balcony. The balcony over looked the grade. Before Kagome could say anything she heard her say, "Lord Higurashi, I told that no one would make it here."

"Sorry but the name is Kagome and I just choose this room."

Caught off guard by the girls voice, the demon slayers protector quickly transformed and bared her fangs at the intruders. Kagome made eye contact and quickly made a small cat like sound before the small two tailed down cat turned back to its kitten form. The tall, long haired demon slayer turned around to stare at the girl. After a short while she took in a deep breath and said, "I'm Sango and I will be your guardian until it is proven that you are not the heir to the eastern kingdom."

"Well Sango, if you don't mind I really just want to look around my room." Kagome replied.

"I'm sorry but I am to stay at you side until dinner. I'm also here to show you your room." Sango said.

"Well…I guess it would be faster." Kagome replied as she easily caught the neko demon. "That's a good girl Kirara."

"How did you know her name?" Sango asked.

"She told me. I can understand neko language since I have some neko blood in me." Kagome answered as she walked over to Sango.



"Oh, well let me show you your bath room and then I'll show you the garden from your balcony." Sango said as she turned away from her.

"I'm not claimed or mated. It's a ritual that can be preformed when an outsider is accepted by any neko demon or hanyou as their sibling." Kagome explained as she placed Kirara down. "Frankly I don't think I'll be staying long."

"What makes you say that?" Sango asked as she began to lead the way.

"I know I'm not princess material. Just look at me, I'll be one of the first ones to go." Kagome said.

"That's a shame." Sango said before she opened the bath room door.

He walked into the room knowing that they were meeting here for a reason. He was the last one to show up. After taking a seat he could feel the barrier form around the room. Glad that they would not be heard, he turned to his brother and his cousin. His brother looked calm as usual while his cousin had a clueless look on his face. After taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and said, "You must stay calm brother. We will find something."

"What happened now?" Miroku asked.

"Lord Inutaisho has stated that we have to keep an eye on Kagome since she was the ONLY miko that fought to stay in the western lands." Sesshomaru answered.

"If she see's us she is going to confront us. What the hell are we going to do?" Inuyasha asked as he looked up to face his brother. "I don't want Kikiyo or the other bitches to go after her."

"I agree, and should the lord and lady find out that you've already started to care for her more attention shall be given to her." Miroku added.

"Therefore, when we arrive we shall speak with Lord Higurashi. Miroku go and see if Rin and see if she told anything to Kagome before she was taken." Sesshomaru ordered.

'What makes you think she told her anything?" Inuyasha asked.

"Because of the small link I have with her. Miroku." Sesshomaru called, "Tell Rin that I could not see her but that I will before my leave."

"Yes Sesshomaru-sama." Miroku said as he stood up to leave.

Once Miroku was gone, Inuyasha turned to his brother and said, "I'm not going to hurt her, I want to protect her."

As if his brother had said nothing, Sesshomaru stood up and began to leave the room. Before he opened the door Sesshomaru said, "Then you may have just fund our princess." As Sesshomaru 

left Inuyasha couldn't help but smile at the thought. He still didn't know who this girl or if she even wanted a mate but the thought of marrying her made him smile. However a thought suddenly hit him, 'She's going to hate this life.'

"Good I fucking hate this!" Kagome yelled as she stood before he closed in nothing but a wet tower. After having been shown the bath she jumped right in.

"Well sorry but you have to wear that." Sango said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Fuck this shit, if I don't wear what I am use to wearing I will walk around in nothing but a towel." Kagome hissed.

"I'll see what I can do. Fr now just wait here." Sango said as she left the room to go speak with the lord and lady of the eastern lands.

"Hey guys." Rin called.

"What?" Dai and Roku replied from the table as they began to work on homework.

"What do you two think Kagome is going to do if she doesn't want to wear princess clothing?" Rin asked.

Both Roku and Dai stopped writing and looked up at each other with a big grin on their face. Not liking their look, Rin asked, "What?"

"She's probably walk around in nothing but a towel or her birthday suite." Dai answered.

"Yeah, if she doesn't like what they gave her she will NOT wear it." Roku added.

"Uh, I really don't think she's do that?" Rin said as she stood up to answer the door.

"The only reason she did not do that while you were around is because she didn't want to freak you out." Dai replied.

"Yeah, that and she was also just getting use to you." Roku added.

Rin opened the door only to be surprised by when she saw. There in front of her was Miroku, she knew that the two brothers would already know of him since they were taking a government class. Miroku smiled at her and waited to be invited into the house. Once the door was closed behind him, Miroku tried to put up a barrier only to get shocked by the protection spell on the house. Just as he got a hold of his self, Miroku heard Dai ask, "Why is noble man Miroku in our house?"

"Yeah, Rin how do you know him?" Roku added.



"Lord Sesshomaru has sent me to oversee the safety of his claimed. He also needs to know what you told Kagome about his leaving." Miroku answered.

"Oh, ok." Dai said.

"Just keep it down." Roku added.

"It's not…wait you two know?" Rin asked.

"Yeah, he introduced himself to our sister as Riku but we knew who he was." Roku answered.

"We had already seen and met him." Dai added.

"why didn't he come?" Rin asked once she was facing Miroku.

"He ha a meeting to attend with his father. Rin you have to tell me what you told Kagome." Miroku answered.

"I told her that he was sold to the eastern lands as a slave. That I would never see Kai or Riku again since they were the slaves of the lord and lady." Rin answered.

"What?!" Roku and Dai yelled.

"Was that a bad thing to do?" Rin asked as she began to tear up.

"It is." Roku answered.

"What are they going to tell her when she is presented to them as Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Inuyasha?" Dai asked.

"Do not worry about it Rin. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha have already made some plans. As for you two, I suggest you treat Rin-sama well." Miroku stated.

"Yes Miroku-sama." They stated.

But before Miroku could say anything else, Rin had punched him with so much force that she send him to the floor. Before Dai or Roku could ask anything they heard a very angry Rin say, "They are my new family so you will not talk down to them."

"I'm sorry Rin-sama. I did not mean anything by it." Miroku said as he rubbed his sore cheek.

"Tell my claied that the next time he wants anything to come hisself. He claimed me so he should be here." Rin hissed.

"I will do so." Miroku said before walking out and to his safety.

"Damn Rin." Dai said.



"Sis really did rub off on you." Roku added.

"yeah, after that night, I told that I didn't want to be weak, so she taught me how to fight." Rin answered.

'yeah, she tends to give others courage." Dai said.

"yeah…so what for dinner?" Roku asked.

"I'll get started." Rin said.

"Ok, we'll help once we finished up." Dai said.

"Take your time." Rin replied. "After all you two need to study."

Once they had made enough room so that they could all work together in the kitchen, Rin started dinner while Dai and Roku continued with their home work. Rin knew that she shouldn't have done that but she just wanted to see Sesshomaru so badly. After she had finished dinner, she had gone to her room and went to bed.
