Kagome's POV
The whole room fell silent.
Daichi was the first to snap out of it. "Priestess? That's not possible." I turned to look at him, he was closer eyeing me closely and sniffing.
Eichi and Ayako shoved Daichi aside trying to get closer to me, Ayako grabbed my face and stared into my eyes with her black ones. "Tell us everything."
Sesshomaru pulled me away from them nearly tucking me behind him. "I will tell you anything you wish to know." They smirked at him. "After you place her." Their smiles fell.
"L-Lord Sesshomaru." Daichi stepped closer to him. "Our methods might not work." He looked at me. "She is something different, she may not even have a true spirit." He sniffed in my direction. "though she does not smell of human or priestess."
Sesshomaru sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "At least try."
Eichi nodded slowly. "We'll try our way." He glanced at me and smiled his eyes sparkling with delight. "If our old ways do not work on something new then we may have to try something new ourselves."
Sesshomaru nodded. "As long as she is unharmed."
They all nodded. "No one will harm a hair on her head."
Ayako looked between us a mischievous look in her eyes. "Do tell me Sesshomaru, how on earth did you come across a once priestess?" She looked me up and down. "There is no scent of death on her. This must-have happened recently."
Sesshomaru nodded. "Yes, but as I just said. I will answer all questions after."
Daichi nodded and stepped over to me. "Let's not waste any more time then." He placed a hand on my shoulder. "Release your aura."
I blinked at him. "My-"
Sesshomaru shook his head and removed Daichi's hand from my shoulder. "That is not a good idea."
Ayako came closer. "No?"
Eichi came over to my other side. "Does she still have purification?"
Sesshomaru stepped down from the small platform and headed towards the doorway. "No, quite the opposite. If you need to test her aura openly then I advise we do it far from my castle."
Daichi snorted and rolled his eyes. "Afraid she won't have any power at all?"
Sesshomaru stopped and turned to face us. "No, I do not wish for my home and everyone in it to be destroyed."
I felt my face grow warm from the memory of Naraku's castle. "Probably a good idea."
He nodded and we stepped down to follow. "The training grounds?" Eichi asked walking up beside Sesshomaru.
He shook his head. "There is a meadow far from here."
Ayako grabbed my arm and dragged me after her to catch up with the others. "Farther from the training grounds?"
Sesshomaru nodded and she looked down at me her eyes sparkling. "I cannot wait to see what you are capable of darling."
I let her drag me outside and to the back of Sesshomaru's castle. "How far is it?"
Sesshomaru looked back at me and eyed Ayako's hand on my arm. "Almost the other side of the island."
I felt my jaw drop. "Is going THAT far really necessary?"
He stopped and turned to me. "Kagome you did not see the full devastation." He looked at his estate. "I hope it is far away enough."
