Hey guys! :D thank you all for the reviews! :)

Sorry to say this chapter is rather descriptive so there isn't much talking involved :P I just think it's better to have an image of the place they'll be walking around in before anything actually happens, but that's just me :P

I don't own Rin, Sesshoumaru, Miroku, Jaken, Kagome, Ah Un, Sango, Inuyasha and Shippo

I do own Keji, Sora, Yukiyo, Maya, Tomas, Theo, Katsura and Asuna

Chapter 10 – Sesshoumaru's Castle

Rin blushed realising that she had just embarrassed herself in front of one of her Lords staff.

Bowing quickly towards him she apologised quickly for the way she had just entered.

He just laughed in response, he didn't seem to be phased by it which surprised her. She expected her Lords staff to be much like him, stoic and unamused at childish behaviour. Instead he just looked at her, seemingly taken in her appearance as if he had been expecting her to look like she did.

Sesshoumaru brought everyone out of their thoughts. He walked towards Rin and stood beside her.

'Keji, prepare rooms for everyone.'

'Of course my Lord, should I put them all on the top floor?'

Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed towards him causing Keji to laugh.

'3rd floor it is then Sesshoumaru.'

'Rin is to be put on the top floor.'

Keji was taken aback by what Sesshoumaru had said. The top floor was where Sesshoumaru stayed when he didn't want to be disturbed. His room, rooms for important guests and his study were up there and no one but Sesshoumaru was allowed there without permission.

'If that is what you wish Sesshoumaru.'

Keji's body then began to disappear, his body was engulfed in a while light and changed into a white orb and flew towards the direction they were heading.

Rin was taken aback at the informalities between the both of them. Keji hadn't used any honorifics when addressing her Lord.

'My Lord, who was he?'

'The royal advisor of the west, he is also one of the generals at the castle.'

'You seemed very chummy with him.'

Miroku sounded nervous as he was speaking. He had seen what Sesshoumaru was capable of and didn't really want to annoy him now that he didn't have his wind tunnel.

They carried on walking and the excitement of seeing Sesshoumaru's castle made the time go by much quicker.

They could see where the path was ending in front of them. There was an iron gate standing in front of them all, which seemed to be the only entrance through the large cream coloured wall that surrounded the castle.

In front of the gate stood two guards, they both wore similar kimonos, red coloured with purple flowers much like the design Sesshoumaru's had. It seemed to show who lived in the castle because almost everyone they had come across so far was wearing similar ones.

Though they wore similar clothes to Sesshoumaru they did not look similar like Keji had. the one on the right of the gate who they had found was named Sora had tanned skin, dark purple hair and emerald eyes. His hair was short but messy so his bangs covered one of his eyes.

The demon on the left of the gate had pale skin much like Sesshoumaru except he had green hair and orange eyes. Unlike Sora he had two light green feathers marked on his neck. When approaching the gate we found that the second demon was called Yukiyo. They later explained that Sora was a beetle demon and that Yukiyo was a hawk demon.

Sora was the first to speak as he bowed towards them.

'My Lord, welcome back.'

Neither of them seemed phased by the group of humans behind him.

Jaken ran past the group towards Sora hitting his leg with his staff.

'Stop messing around and open the gate you fool!'

Both Sora and Yukiyo looked at the toad demon with irritance before pushing open the gate.

From the way the guards were looking at him they could all tell Jaken was going to be beaten up later in the evening.

As they walked through the gate the sight was breath-taking. The castle in front of them was huge, it looked about four stories high and was even bigger than Kaede's village put together. It was painted white and had green ivy climbing up the edges.

The garden they were standing in surrounded the castle. There was a fountain in the centre with green lily pads placed delicately upon the water.

There were trees covered in apples standing alongside both sides of the path.

There were vegetable patches in the corner of the garden accompanied by a large greenhouse that was full of red juicy tomatoes.

On the other side of the garden were rows upon rows of different flowers, all different colours with different shaped petals.

In the front of the garden was a patch of grass which had been cut short and had wooden dolls stand much like scarecrows would. They were most likely there for training.

There were two other buildings in the garden, one looked like a stable as it was covered in hay, and the other had steam rising from the roof, it looked rather like a bathing house.

'You have a bath house! I would kill for a bath!'

Kagome was ecstatic, if she wasn't pregnant she'd probably jump up and down.

'Could we use your bath house later on my Lord?'

He simply nodded at Rin which made her smile widen, she gave him a look which said 'thank you'.

Their attentions were then brought to Keji who was now standing in front of them.

'Your rooms have all been made for you, would you like to see them?'

Kagome chirped up even more than before.

'Yes! My feet are killing me!'

They all pulled their bags off the cart with the help of Keji, Sora and Yukiyo.

They all walked into the castle after watching Jaken take Ah Un to the stables.

The ground floor left them all speechless, the floor was marbled and the staircase in front of them had red felt on each of the steps.

They all proceeded up the stairs following the demons to the third floor and split up to their own rooms.

First they went to the end of the hall where the children's room was. There were four beds, two on each side. On the right side were two blue beds which Maya and Tomas had already claimed by putting their suitcases next to them. On the other side there was a blue and a pink one.

'Sorry we weren't quite sure what colours you'd like.'

Sango smiled at Keji, showing that she understood before watching him help Miroku place Theo's toys in-between his and Katsura's beds.

Knowing the children were okay playing by themselves in their room the rest split up to go to their own rooms.

Sango and Miroku went to theirs first, it was the closest to the children's room. There was a double bed in the centre of the room and a wooden cot in the corner of the room for Asuna to sleep in.

The walls were decorated with crescent moons, the sign on Sesshoumaru's demon heritage.

The bed had a dark blue cover with no patterns on it but the condition of the room still surprised them, they were used to sleeping on futons in a wooden hut not something as luxurious as this.

Inuyasha and Kagome's room was directly opposite theirs and was very similar. Like Sango's, their bed was in the centre of the room and in the corner was a cot ready for the new arrival. Their bed covers however were red and the wall was patterned with red lilies. Kagome was very happy with the room as she finally had a real bed to sleep in again.

Shippo's room was directly next to Inuyasha's and was the furthest away from the children's room. Unlike the others he only had a single bed with a blue cover much like Miroku's but his room didn't have any patterns on the wall.

Rin had followed Sesshoumaru up to the fourth floor closely followed by Keji and Sora holding her luggage. It was much quieter on this floor, almost like the walls didn't allow sound to pass through them.

There were five rooms in total by the number of rooms Rin has counted, they passed a guest room as they got to the top of the stairs, as they walked down the hallway, they passed two more doors, one was the room of the Lady of the west, Inukimi; Sesshoumaru's mother when she came to stay., though they was rare.

The other door was Sesshoumaru's study which she presumed he spent most of his time in.

At the end of the hall were two doors facing one another.

The first door she believed was Sesshoumaru's room and the other she presumed would be hers.

Keji went in first, placing her chest at the foot of her large bed. It wasn't a double bed but still it was too large to be a single bed.

The room was breath taking, the bedcovers and wall were orange; Rin's favourite colour and they were patterned with white lilies, her favourite flower.

There was a desk near the window accompanied with two plant pots with flowers differently coloured. A wardrobe was in the corner of the room which looked to be big enough to hold all her kimono's she had received from her Lord.

She went to open it and found five new kimonos already placed inside, all different colours, with different patterns on each of them.

She turned to thank her Lord for his generosity by found only Keji was standing in the doorway.

'I hope this room meets your needs Rin, Lord Sesshoumaru made us prepare it upon your arrival a couple of days ago, before he left to get you.'

'Oh yes Keji! It's amazing! I really don't deserve any of this!'

Keji just smiled at her before nodding and leaving Rin to her thoughts.

Rin just threw herself backwards onto the bed feeling the silk covers around her, smiling to herself for being so blessed and for being finally back with her Lord Sesshoumaru.

That's it guys! Next one should be finished and up soon :)

Please review! :D
