Chapter Six
Land of the Rich and Famous
They were brought to a hallway where they were amazed, beyond compare. They were led to an Indian styled hallway.
There were five twin doors and there was this design where there were lots of intricate patterns with trees. There were two arches. It was a mix of floral and geometric patterns, (okir a bay and okir a datu, you can search them up in google).
Their bags were all in a corners, neatly piled beside a golden pillar, one of the many others that stood there. In the hallway was a very high roof and at the top were even more carvings. The hall was lit with five chandeliers. They were grand and it glowed a soft yellow light.
The hall was painted white and the carvings were all gold. Beside each golden pillar was a small table but with a big vase and inside was a bouquet of white, blue and purple flowers, on the floor were floral and geometric mats everywhere.
There was a complete kitchen, a public bathroom, a lounging area, a dining room. There were three rooms of extreme luxury. It seemed like a presidential suite in a five star hotel. Each room was complete with a hot spring, a luxurious sofa with western designs. The lounging area and other things have the same luxuries as a major politician would or a celebrity. There was a training area. Each room was very luxurious and it was all top of the line.
But there was one thing that they loved the most of the whole house, it was the garden, the outdoors.
It had a small little waterfall, leading to a small river, with a small bridge with a hut in the middle of the body of water. Then at the corner there was a small bridge leading to a small little lounging area, complete with a sofa and a coffee table.
At another end of the lake was a fountain surrounded with leaves of autumn and a small field of flowers around it. There were thousands flowers around it, all mixed and all seemed to fit the scene, they didn't smell weird or too strong it was in fact hypnotizing and was very intoxicating.
There was no fence, which means you have the option of going or not. It warmed their heart to know that they trust them not to do anything.
Each of them owned their own rooms. Each room was with tremendous luxury, and unbelievable expense. There were beds twice the size of a king sized one. There were walk in closets with extra space and lots of beautiful clothing of all sorts of all seasons, all meant to fit them. There were tables and lamps all with Victorian designs.
Kagome's room was themed with white butterflies, the clear blue sky, with luscious leaves and the sky with stars and the full moon all in detail with pillars at the corners with blue roses on them. The whole room was a masterpiece but they still put other painting on the wall. With a wooden floor with a few mats that covered them. There were crystal chandeliers everywhere.
Her bathroom floor was made with a soft baby blue marble floor that was covered with a white mat, with white painted walls which had this effect of when looking at it with different angles appeared silver curls. On the walls there were hanging flowers, trapped in a dark wooden frame. Across the large French windows (which had a perfect view of the garden and a set of white curtains if they are not comfortable with there was a clean white tub with a golden faucet, beside it was a table with flower petals, bubble baths with different types of scents and a bouquet of flowers with lace underneath. There was a shower with a glass door and a warm heater for the water with different types of soaps and a glass table. There was a sink filled with three options of soap and bouquet of flowers and a complete set of clean towels. There was a small wooden closet at the corner of the room with a glass cover, containing different types of soaps, shampoo. The toilet was white with toilet paper on the table with two bouquets of flower, one on the toilet, the other on the table. There were chandeliers in the ceiling.
Sango's theme was a field of lavenders, with a gigantic tree in the middle of a valley at the perfect time where the moon was in its perfect diameter, with the sky turning in to a soft pink blending with an indescribable orange, slowly blending in to reveal a beautiful shade of pink and a light shade purple in the corners, with crystal chandeliers everywhere.
Her bathroom had a soft orange with a white marble tile. Paintings of butterflies were on the walls of different shade and color with a brown wooden frame. Her tub was white with a golden faucet also aligned with a French window with the white curtains draped to reveal a view of a beautiful fountain with orange leaves of autumn floating over it. The rest of the things in the bathroom was the same as Kagome's.
Miroku's room had the theme of a lake with water lilies and different flowers, with a waterfall and fishes of all colors swimming everywhere. On the sky, over the lake and fountain was a blue moon with fireworks and glowing lanterns and the effect of the lights on the water.
His bathroom was light green with a hint of yellow the marble floor was white. There were pictures of different types of leaves trapped in a wooden frame. The tubs, toilet and the rest were the same as the others. The tub was also in perfect alignment to the window which showed a fountain and a field of flowers.
All rooms were very beautiful and useful. There were sofa sets in their rooms and a complete set of tea, with a warm fire place. There was a small cabinet in the corner containing extra sheets, pillows, blankets, etc. There was a vault in each of their rooms so that they can decide which things should never be seen. Or they decided must be kept out of harm's way.
They probably couldn't even afford this with a decade of working. So they were glad about their hospitality. They appreciated everything that they've done.
However they decided to use one of their many abilities, one that they discovered on their own for the past few days. They can wish for anything that they wanted, no questions asked and the jewel will complete the job. The jewel decided to stay with them, though it was incomplete, it still said it. They jewel wanted to please Kagome, saying that it was the least that is could do for the past year that Kagome has wasted a year of her life just for it. They accepted its request, only because it insisted upon doing so.
So they decided to have electricity. They wanted a refrigerator and a few comforts of Kagome's time. Like a few plasma TV screens wouldn't hurt right? Or a few more sound systems. They wished that the toilet had the futuristic water system, so it wouldn't have the same one as the one that they had at the time in England (where there was a high chance of percentage that the water that you are drinking could be the water that you flushed when you were doing your business).
Last but not the least they wished for a small room in secret, so that the jewel can transport them to Kagome's time. Of course this was need for them to get the same reply. The secret room was hidden underneath the fountain outside the garden. The way to get to it was if you press one of the many flowers in the fountain, I repeat, IN the fountain. Then when you press it, it will eject to you as if it were the faucet. It was like a vault. You have to pass a few tests first of all, you have to twist the flower is different directions like a vault, the once you have succeeded there are a few more security measures voice recognition, a fingerprint analysis, an eye scan and a password and a code lock.
How was it done? Well through the mighty powers of the jewel.
If the requirements were not met (the security measures) then you will immediately trigger an alarm.
The group was in the lounging area. There where there was a sofa, a plasma screen TV, with cable, a WII, a PS3, a XBOX 360 and a DVD and a VCD player and a sound system attached to the TV. There was another sound system on the other side of the rom. Beside that of the room were three big shelves. The first one was music CD's. The second one was filled with DVD's and the next one was filled with VCD's.
Sango was sitting down with a bag of chips in hand and Miroku was playing with his PSP and Kagome was drinking coffee.
"Kagome, why is it that we can't just put the portal in the vault?" Sango asks. While petting Kirara.
"Yes, Kagome that is indeed very good question." Miroku says.
" You see, I case this place is found out about our technology, our ways, or the house was captured for the portal or the jewel, the first place to look would be the vaults, what they would never suspect was the fountain…" Kagome said secretively.
"Have you people ever noticed that how the hell did they get these Westernized things while we are not even in modern Japan? And have you noticed the very Victorian outcome of this house?" Kagome asks looking around, talking in a hushed voice, they were given no servants so the house was kept all by themselves. But Kagome cold not help but think about these.
"Oh so you have noticed as well…" Sango said as she looks around the room. They can't be too sure about the securities here.
Miroku added "Not to mention the fact that this entire house is made out of things that are clearly beyond this time stream. These things are not to appear yet in Japan until the next three hundred years."
"Whatever they did have is that they didn't want us to notice is that this place is so luxurious that they wanted us to not notice this place and turn eventually blind by this happiness of the presence of these materials." Sango said.
"The question is, what did they want to hide from us?" Kagome said looking at them straight in the eye. "They don't want us to find out something. We can't put down our guard here. They may completely trust us not to run away, but we need to find out the truth about this place."Kagome said.
"Are you sure you want to do this Kagome and betray their trust?" Miroku said "I mean everyone has their secrets right? Besides Lady Kagome look around you, their hospitality here and everything that they have done for us, are you willing to betray them? They have given us so much."
Kagome looked at Miroku "These people we have only met for nothing more than a few hours. We need to find the truth. There is something that we need to know or else we will just turn out as another one of the pawns who think that they are on the right side of the story."
"I agree, I don't want to be a pawn in a chess set. We need to find out the truth then we have to judge which side are we truly on. We have the portal, we can escape here and never come back. But for their sake why don't we investigate first." Sango said.
"Indeed…" Miroku said looking at them all in the eye and Kagome looking at the cup of coffee that she has made which suddenly turned bitter.
