Chapter 10
As the pinks and oranges of the sunset disappeared a figure that appeared to be a girl could be seen sitting on the railing on one of the many balcony railings that made up a sixteenth of the eastern face of The Western Palace. Her sapphire eyes glowed as the sun began to make it long journey through the skies.
When the sun had finally made it over the horizon she stepped back into her room and quickly gathered her things to take a bath. It was nearly a week since she had recovered, but today she was going to celebrate for today was the end of her confinement to her bed with just Sessoumaru and her friends being able to visit her. Don't get her wrong she loves them all dearly but she needed to get up and move. There is, after all, only so much you can actually do in bed.
When she finished bathing, she quickly dried off and started to dress herself in an absolutely beautiful kimono; it was whiter than snow with pale pink cherry blossoms sprinkled around the fabric. When she was fully dressed she stepped out into the hallway, and began to make her way to the dining hall all the while thinking of when she should start her food fight, and just what she wanted to do for the rest of the day.
When she finally made it to the dining hall she saw everyone sitting there except for Sessoumaru. She looked around the room for a few moments before fully walking into the room. She glanced at each of her friends and then at the two children that were sitting next to her before she let her gaze return to the brown haired older girl that she looked up to as an older sister, Sango. Raven haired girl tilted her head to the right and asked the one question she had been thinking since she had walked into the room, "Where's Sessoumaru?"
Everyone gave her funny looks, but cracked up when they figured out what must have happened. Finally Shippou took pity on her and answered amusedly, "Looking for you!"
Kagome eyes returned to glancing at each of them with a what-the-fuck look on her face that told a tale of its own. After a few seconds of this she could see that the others weren't going to stop laughing so she directed her piercing blue eyes back to Shippou and asked, "Why would he do that?"
Just as she finished the sentence the doors opened and Sessoumaru walked in and growled, "Because you weren't in your room when I went to check on you this morning."
She stared him with an owl-like look for a few seconds before she replied with a feeble, "oh."
His wide shoulders slumped, letting his hair fall gracefully over his shoulder to cover the right side of his chest that was covered by his usual white and red haori and hakama, for an instant—in a show of emotion that could only be called relief—before he righted himself. The silver hair lord strode over and took her petite shoulders into his hands and squeezed her shoulders almost painfully, "Don't scare me like that again, Kagome, I thought you had been kidnapped!"
She stared up at him and she smiled and said in an amused voice, "No, I was just bathing," as an after thought she tacked on, in a more serious voice, "Thank you for your concern though." The smile didn't once leave her face during the exchange.
The stoic lord sneak out for a second before his face was once again plastered in its usual expressionless expression. Once the two were seated the food was brought out and the group began a conversation about Inuyasha, Kikyo, and Naraku. This made for a very tense breakfast. Of course that is before the terrible twosome, also known as Shippou and Rin, started flinging what was left of there food at everyone else at the table.
Soon everyone was flinging there food, and having a great time; all thoughts of the three people that all of them had at least had one problem with.
When all the food had been thrown the picture they made was quite a comical one. The walls were plastered with breakfast, as were the people, the table had been overturned, it was acting as a wall between the now divided group. Everyone was lying on the ground laughing at each other.
They eventually found there way off the ground and began there not so long journey back to their wing of the palace. The whole time smiling and giggling every now and then. When they finally got there they all split up and grabbed there respective bathing supplies; they were all in dire in need of a bath.
