The Acquisition Game

Chapter 4

Rules Into Living At The Castle

Kagome awoke as she yawed madly and stretched her hands back as she cracked her neck, very un-princess like. "Ah, I see your awake."

Kagome quickly sat up and looked around the room as she heard another voice in the room.

"You?" Kagome watched the back of the figure and grunted. "How did you get in?!" Kagome stood up and checked the doors. "And they're still locked. How did you get in?"

"I'm your...husband; I should be in here. And each room has a secret passage. Therefore that's how I got in." Inuyasha licked his lips and sat down on the dressing table. "You should get dressed, the servants will be in here in less than two seconds."

"Wha?" After finishing her words, Kagome heard a knock on her door. "The servants?"

"I better get the door." Inuyasha walked over to the door and chuckled to himself. After opening the doors, servants carrying bowls filled with water walked in, including towels and new clothes. "Prince Inuyasha, Princess Kagome, your highnesses, I had prepared your water for your cleansing this morning." A servant girl bowed lowly to them and walked out the room.

"See that girl who just talked to you?" Inuyasha asked Kagome as he closed the doors behind them.

"Yeah. So?"

She will be your maid for whatever the time being you have here. Her name is Seki. Come out to eat once your done." Inuyasha finished and began to open the door.

"Hold on a second." Kagome stopped him."How did you really got in?"

"I told you, the secret passage." Inuyasha repeated as he rolled his eyes.

"Where?"

He sighed. "If you really wanted to know, look in your closet." He finished and walked out the door and closing it.

Kagome looked at her closet and moved her new clothes out the way. "There's nothing here." She dropped a box on the floor and bent down to pick it. A hand suddenly grabbed out to her and she squealed being scared half to death as the hand pulled her in.

"What the hell?" Kagome looked around to see Sango faced to face with her. "Sango! What are you doing? Scaring me half to death," Kagome stood up with a confused Sango.

"How did you got into my closet?" Sango asked as she raised her brows.

"Is this your room?"

"Yes, I was just getting something and it felled so I reached to grab it. Then I pulled you out. A secret passage! I knew there is this kinds stuff in castles like this!"

"Yeah I know." Kagome suddenly glared at Sango. "Say, you didn't slept with 'Prince' Miroku, did you?"

"You have to be kidding me. He was drunk like a pig last night. I dumped him on the floor and I slept on the bed. And you?" She eyed Kagome with a finger pointing at her.

"Ha! Do you think I would?"

Sango didn't respond.

"Of course I didn't." Kagome slapped Sango's arm and crawled under the closet.

"Boy, everyday is a new adventure." Sango scrunched her nose and returned to her room to get dressed.

"Kagome! Sango!" Kagome and Sango looked up from the floor and appeared at the dining room. Lady Inu smiled proudly at them and nudged Inuyasha to get up to help her get seated. "Kagome, Sango, please join yourself here at breakfast." Kagome smiled lightly and Sango nodded.

They sat next to their so called husbands and looked at the food on the table. It was different from what they usually eat.

Lady Inu nudged his husband and he nodded like he had almost forgotten. "Kagome and Sango, after breakfast you are to be going to a place taken by your prince. There you will learn the rules into being a princess and places of the castle." He finished and got up. "Please excuse me, I have some businesses to attend.

"Yeah, me too," Kouga got up and walked up the stairs.

Lady Inu shrugged and Kagome and Sango looked at each other. Kagome looked around the castle at that moment. To what she is seeing, there is a huge kitchen, at least a hundred rooms, two dining rooms, six living rooms and at least twenty bathrooms. Boy, was she in heaven, but on the other hand, she wasn't.

After Kagome and Sango finished breakfast, Miroku and Inuyasha took them into the study. "What's this place?" Sango asked looking at the pile of old Japanese forms of books.

"This is the study room. Here you'll learn all the rules to living here in the castle." Miroku told them. He grabbed a book and held it at the bottom page, while he threw the front page along with the middle pages all connected to Inuyasha. "9872 rules and a map of the castle and the area around. About 100 acres around the castle and all places have names. All are very easy, you guys will learn in no time." He shrugged and laid the book back on the table.

"Have a nice time...reading the rules and the places around." Inuyasha grinned innocently.

"Oh Sango, I can always help you remember if you want to, you can only--"

"Lets go, loverboy," Inuyasha yanked his collar and threw him out the room, leaving Kagome and Sango in the room by themselves.

"9872 rules? 100 acres around the castle and all has names? What idiot thought of this?" Sango opened the book and read rule number one. "Rule number one, never do anything you are not told to do."

Kagome walked to Sango and read number two. "Rule number two, never you can roam other places around the castle if you don't have the golden pass approved by the king himself."

"Rule number three..."

10 minutes later...

"Rule number 605, the dungeons and the cellars are not permitted for the children and princess if they don't have golden pass approved by the king himself." Sango sighed and shook her head. "You can't go anywhere or do anything without the golden pass."

"Yeah." Kagome pouted and continued to read, "rule number 606, Kabuki and other forms of festivals are only allowed for the royal family and other royal guests."

"Rule number 607," Sango yawned and stretched her arms. "Boring, for ten minutes straight we have been reading this book. How many more to go?"

"About 9065 rules to go." Kagome yawned and shook her head incredulously, "Oh my god!"

"Rule 607..."

20 minutes later...

"Rule number...uh...2084...forget this!" Sango shouted as she threw the book away and pouted. "I hate this place, don't you, Kagome? Kagome?" Sango looked over at Kagome and raised her brows. "Wake up, Kagome!" Sango shouted as she nudged the sleeping Kagome. "You're hopeless."

"What? Which one are we on?" Kagome asked as she yawned.

"Forget this, we are so out of here." Sango said as she stood up and headed for the door.

Kagome yawned again and followed Sango out the room.

"Where do you think you two are going?" A voice halted them. "You two are supposed to be in the room, learning the rules."

"Inuyasha, probably we are being too hard on them." Miroku said as he chuckled at their miserable looks.

"Ugh! Why you little--" Sango stopped as a maid rushed to them.

"Sorry to disturb you all, majesties, but, the young prince has come to visit and Lady Inu told me to tell you to come to the royal throne room." The maid said without breath.

Inuyasha and Miroku exchanged looks and sighed. "That little brat has returned." Inuyasha grumbled.

Kagome looked confused and glanced over at Sango. "Who's the young prince?" Kagome asked the maid.

"Prince Shippou, of course." She smiled.

"Prince...Shippou?"

AN: Kinda short, I know. Next time it will be longer...I hope. I'll try to update my chapter on Escaping School. Please review!!
