Restless
Kagome is given a small room with a warm bed, but she can't sleep no matter how she tries. The day has been long, frightening, and surreal.
She hardly believes it, but she's pinched herself at least a hundred times, so it must be true. Masu helped her bind her ankle but had left hours ago, and now she is here, clad in a sleeping yutaka so tall, the fabric trails on the stone floor. Tomorrow she will be given details on the demonesses Lady Bou has chosen. Kagome sighs – her head is too muddled for her to sleep.
"I need air," she murmurs, and hops over to the door. She slides it open, and gasps. "Lord Uchihiko!" she cries. "Why are you still here?!"
Inutaisho's stony-faced brother says in monotone, "To ensure the impossibility of escape."
