The pharoah enters the throne room. Sesshomaru would be very busy today. The barbarians form the place called Babylon would come. Only the Pharoahs had access to teh world maps. All demon lord and ladies thought that Egypt was the most powerful and magical land. Magic sometimes had run havoc all over the Great Desert. The pharoah wanted to plant kings of his line all over the known world. An evil grin spreads across his handsome features. But, one problem, no queen to carry the line. He sighed. He had a body that all women wanted, and he always flaunted it, but there was so many that he just couldn't choose. They were all beautiful. Most of his servants wanted him, that's why he had so many concubines in his harem. He also sold them to the other demon lords. Many of their harems were filled with girls trained by himself.
Kagome enters the room with a tray of food for Sesshomaru's breakfast. Babylonian representatives will come later in the day, with their warriors. "Make sure hat we have enough food to feed the barbarians," he said.
"Yes, Pharoah," was the reply from Kagome. Sesshomaru smiles and dismisses her. He pets the dogs, he is in a better mood than he was yesterday. He sits on his throne, and lets his servants tend to him. He sighs as he is pampered. Afterall, he must look good for the barbarians.
~Prison Cell~
Inuyasha stirs. He hears a whisper, not too far away. His eyes flutter open, and for a minute, he forgets where he is. He looks to the barred door, and a woman stands in front of the door. He can smell food, and his stomach growls loudly. Kagome smiles and pushes the food through the door. "Here. Eat," Kagome commanded.
"Thank you," Inuyasha said.
"You're welcome," Kagome replied. Inuyasha smiles and eats his food. Afterwards, he licks his fingers, and hands the plate back to Kagome. Kagome leaves, and Inuyasha decides to entertain himself by playing with a piece of straw.
~Streets of Cairo~
"Monk, will you bless me?" An old woman asks. A monk stands before her. He was a monk of Ra, and blesses people under the sun, the symbol of Ra. He smiles at the woman. Her hair was grey, dressed scantily in a brown dress, the kind that people wear that work close to the desert, and the dress was made of a coarse material. The monk was dressed in monk's clothing, purple on a purple almost a complete black. The monks now chose their own colors to wear, mostly depending on what god or goddess he represented. Their were a few women in the temples, but those who weren't servants were the servants of the goddess she represented, and they were beautiful, and not to be touched, much to this monk's dismay.
"Yes," the monk dutifully replied. The monk places his left hand on the woman's forehead, and then began to say a prayer of blessing to Ra. The woman shudders, as if she felt the jolt of the power of Ra through the monk.
"Thank you!" The woman gratefully exclaimed. She then goes about her chores, and the monk moves on, his staff's rings jingling in the hot, but soft, breeze.
The monk looks at the prayer beads on his right hand. It was a curse that kept the monk from ever being truely happy, a curse laid upon him by a terrible demon that his grandfather encountered on his journeys. The monk's family wasn't orginally from Egypt, but just before dying, his grandfather moved them here, and this monk's father became a monk, and then he did himself, to start a family tradition. The curse was called the wind tunnel, a name his granfather gave it. It was a hole in the hand that, when the beads were taken off and the hole exposed, sucked in everything before it. The curse is why he didn't have a wife, or lover. "I wish i could find a beautiful girl.............................. Too bad none of then ask me to bless them," the monk thinks sadly. He sighs, and continues to walk.
A child kitsune runs up to him, ball in hand. "Hi! My name's Shippou! Wanna play?" The child asks.
"Well met, Shippou. I'm Miroku. Yes, I would like to play," the monk replied, smiling. He sets his staff down.
"Yay!" Shippou explains the game, and other children come to play.
~Down the street~
A flowergirl sells flowers. Secretly, she's a demon exterminator. The bag of sticks on her back hides her weapon of choice, Hiraikotsu. An old woman comes by, claiming that she had been blessed by a monk of Ra. "Probably a demon who's high and mighty, well, at least he thinks so. Just to be sure, I guess I'll be blessed................" she thinks.
She walks in the direction the woman came from. A monk plays with a kitsune child. "Must be the monk. He looks human......................... But it could be a disguise," she mumbles to herself. She walks up to the monk. "Will you bless me?"
The monk turns around, a grin on his face. His expression turns to shock as he slowly looks her over. "W-what's your name?" He asks nervously.
"Sango."
"Oh, hi. I'm Miroku. Pleased to meet you." And under his breath, "Very."
"Are you a human?"
Taken aback by her question, he blinks at her. "Yes, I am," Miroku replied.
"Well, are you going to bless me?" Sango asks.
"Yes." Miroku does the same as he did to the old woman, but no shudder came from her. They look at each other. The kitsune tugs on her skirt.
"Will you play with us too?" The kitsune asks happily.
"Uhhhh.............................. Sure," Sango replied.
"This is Shippou," said Miroku, introducing the kitsune.
Sango sets down her bag and basket. Before she can stop it, the bag is opened, and Hiraikotsu is exposed. Miroku gasps and stares at the mark on Hiraikotsu, marking it a demon exterminator's weapon. Sango quickly puts it away, putting the bag back together. "You're a demon exterminator!" Miroku exclaims, a little on the shocked side.
"Yes, I am," Sango said.
"Can you help me find a demon who laid a curse on me?"
Now, Sango is the one taken aback. "Uh....................................... Sure.................................... I guess I could."
"Thank you!" Miroku exclaimed happily. Miroku grabs her hands and kisses them.
"Can we play now?" Shippou asks exsasperated.
"Yes," Sango replies. The play the game, using the ball, the other children long gone.
~Palace~
Sesshomaru sits on his garden stool. The palace was built around an Oasis that will probably disappear by the next ruler. He watches the mini- waterfall, and the palmtrees swaying in the breeze. He sighs as a calm feeling comes over him. He picks a flower and sniffs it. He had to get away for the busy palace today. They were getting ready for the barbarians. They were coming at dusk, and it's about mid-day now. He had to get ready before then. Again, he sighs, a little tired. "I wish I could be more lenient around humans," he thinks. "The demon lords would then think me weak and try to overthrow me. That's worse than Inuyasha overthrowing me. Humans aren't all that bad. But after a while they do tend to smell................................." Sesshomaru wrinkles his nose and looks to the clouds. A house servant comes out.
"My Pharoah, they have prepared your bath," the servant replies humbly.
Sesshomaru sighs, looks at the oasis one last time, and goes back inside.
