Chapter 3: The Unexpected Visitor
Kagome awoke to find the sun shinning on her face. Beams of light could be seen flickering through the windows that aligned her room. Looking up at the ceiling Kagome could see elaborately carved designs that played with her eyes. Sitting up a large mound fell into her lap. Kagome looked in her lap to find the small cat demon from last night; her deep brown eyes meet the bright orange eyes of Kirara who gave her a small-disgruntled meow. Apparently Kirara had found a comfortable spot on her stomach while she slept. Picking Kirara up Kagome gently placed her to the side. The room looked even more beautiful than before she had went to sleep. Bright paintings of animals and beautiful people hung on the walls. The walls were painted a light blue, which made the light bounce around. A loud knock came from the door.
"Lady Kagome are you awake, its Nagako can I come in," Nagako asked waiting for an answer.
"Yeah, come in," Kagome answered.
Nagako walked through the door slowly with a smile on her face. She carried a bundle of clothes in her hands.
"Good morning Lady Kagome," Nagako said walking over to her.
"Hai it is a good morning," Kagome said looking out the window then turning to smile back at her.
"Did you sleep well," Nagako asked.
"Hai," Kagome said.
"Good. Well let's get you washed and dressed and off to breakfast," Nagako said helping Kagome out of bed.
Crawling out of bed Kagome looked down at it her creased dress that was also covered with cat hair. Kagome gave Nagako a remorseful look who only brushed it away with a sweep of her hand.
Nagako brought Kagome to a door in the corner of the room and opened it with a quick snap of her wrist and walked in. Kagome looked around the small room in awe. In front of her stood a deep bathtub that looked like it was made from the finest silver. Steam rose from the hot water that lay in it. A warm breeze blew through out the room making Kagome's hair whip around her head. The air smelt of summer roses and other pleasing smells that brought Kagome a sense of peace. A window stood open next to Kagome its silk curtains flapped in the wind. Moving the curtain aside Kagome peered outside. It was a beautiful windy day, the sun shown high in the blue sky and birds sang all around.
"Lady Kagome are you alright," Nagako asked.
Snapping back her attention to Nagako Kagome answered, "Hai, I'm fine."
Nagako stood before the hot bath dropping in vast assortments of different salts and oils. She motioned for Kagome to come. Slipping off her dress kagome stepped into the tub. The water reached up to her chin, swallowing her. The heat of the water made every muscle in her body loosen up making Kagome drift into a relaxed state. As soon as her eyes were closed Kagome's thoughts were pulled to Sesshoumaru. She imagined his strong face and then focused on his lips wondering what the taste like. Her thoughts slowly made their way down to his chest imagining what he would look like with no top kimono on. Kagome's eyes darted open. 'How can I be thinking this about milord?' Kagome asked herself.
"Is anything wrong," Nagako asked as she started to scrub lightly on Kagome's back.
"No," Kagome said.
~~~~~Kagome sat at the table alone with Kirara, waiting patently for her breakfast to arrive. Nagako had dressed her nicely in a white kimono top and red pants. She starred down at the empty seat where Sesshoumaru had sat just last night. Sighing she looked at the doors wishing to see him walk through them. 'Why am I feeling as though if known him all my life?' Kagome asked herself as a servant walked into the room carrying a bulky silver tray.
The man placed in front of her three large plates of food.
"Master Sesshoumaru said to give you everything," the servant said walking away.
Kagome saw everything from eggs to fried fish. Still a little full from last night Kagome helped her self to some scrambled eggs and bacon while letting Kirara help herself to the fish.
With her stomach full kagome stood up from the table and walked out of the room with Kirara at her heal. Kagome stood by the windows just outside the doors looking out to see the castle grounds. She saw a large field of sand with practice targets for archery and many other stations for practicing battle arts. Just beyond the field Kagome could see a beautiful garden. Seeing the trees dance to the movement of the wind Kagome felt the warm air whip across her face making her have a uncontrollable urge to go out.
Turning to go Kagome walked into something solid making her bounce back. Kagome looked up to peer into the golden orbs of Sesshoumaru.
"Sesshoumaru-sama," Kagome said bowing.
"Kagome," Sesshoumaru said, "is there something you wish to ask me?"
"Hai milord," Kagome said, "May I venture outside?"
"Are you sure you are up to it," Sesshoumaru asked.
"Hai," Kagome answered.
"I was going down there anyways. Come," Sesshoumaru said turning.
Kagome followed Sesshoumaru through many twists and turns until they were in a corridor with no decoration. Kagome touched the bricked walls around her shivering at the cold stone at her fingertips. She followed Sesshoumaru to a small room.
"Wait here," He said entering the room.
Sesshoumaru walked out of the room shutting the door behind him. In his hand he held an old battered sword.
"Come," Sesshoumaru said turning to descend a flight of stares.
Kagome followed Sesshoumaru down the dark stairs. Kagome could feel gusts of winds coming up from the bottom of the stairs. Beyond Sesshoumaru Kagome could see a faint light coming closer with every step she took. Reaching the bottom of the stairs Kagome walked beyond Sesshoumaru and into the hot sun a little startled when she stepped onto the soft grass.
"May I go over." Kagome started to ask turning to Sesshoumaru but was cut short with what she saw. Her eyes grew big as she looked upon a half naked Sesshoumaru. Kagome's eyes traveled his body taking in every muscle. Reaching his face Kagome saw that he was watching her. Kagome's eyes grew even larger as she noticed this. She quickly turned around to avoid his gaze.
"Yes you may," Sesshoumaru said.
"Arigotou gozai-masu (Thank you very much said politely)," Kagome said walking away slowly.
Sesshoumaru smiled at this as he walked in the training yard. The smile all but faded as he reached the middle of the training yard.
"BEGIN," Sesshoumaru, shouted as ten lower Youkai entered the field.
Kagome swung around at the sound of his voice. She watched as the men entered the field with their swords ready, Sesshoumaru's eyes darted to each and every one of them. The first of the Youkai ran full force at Sesshoumaru, who should no sign of moving anytime soon. Just as the sword was about to hit him Sesshoumaru raised his own sword and slashed him in the stomach. Kagome's faced grimaced as he saw him fall to the ground, with a perfect view of the inside of his stomach. Just as the man had appeared he disappeared into the sand. Two other of the Youkai jumped into the air with their swords ready to kill. Just as Sesshoumaru had down with the first Youkai he whipped his sword at them, cutting them in half. He watched them fall to the ground and dissolve into the sand. As he looked up Sesshoumaru saw Kagome watching him.
Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru, she could see a bit of uneasiness enter him.
"End," he shouted. Kagome watched as the seven remaining youkai turned into sand and fell to the floor. The sun had now disappeared behind dark clouds making Kagome shiver as the wind blew through her clothes. Sesshoumaru stood there staring at Kagome. A man approached from behind Sesshoumaru with his own sword ready. Thinking that this was another part of the training Kagome intently watched as his sword rose above Sesshoumaru's head. The man let his sword down swiftly. Sesshoumaru barely dodged the swing.
"NARAKU," Sesshoumaru shouted to the other man as they circled one another.
"ARE YOU NOT GLAD TO SEE ME SESSHOUMARU," Naraku teased.
"FLATTERED REALLY," Sesshoumaru teased back sarcastically.
Breaking the circle Naraku ran at Sesshoumaru, preparing to strike. Sesshoumaru, quick enough to block it, raised his sword and caught Naraku's with his own. By this time Kagome realized that this was no mere game but real.
Their swords made high scratches as metal met metal. Catching Sesshoumaru off balance Naraku took this time to get in a swing. Reacting quickly Sesshoumaru blocked it. Sparks flew as their swords met, both of their muscles bulging. Not being able to take the pressure of both swords pressed together Sesshoumaru broke the contact and fell to the ground. A smile played across Naraku's face as he raised his sword and prepared to take his winning blow.
"Your getting slow old man," Naraku said realizing is sword so it fell to his side. Sesshoumaru stood up slowly out of breath.
"Hai, that doesn't mean anything," Sesshoumaru said.
"Without an heir, once you dye these lands automatically become mine," Naraku said cocky, "And I don't, how should I put this, see women lining up to bare your child."
"Sesshoumaru are you ok," Kagome asked running up to him to see if he was hurt.
"Fine," Sesshoumaru said liking the way she was worried about him, "Kagome may I introduce Naraku Lard of the Eastern Lands. Naraku this is Kagome."
Kagome tuned around to look at Naraku. Naraku gasped as he looked at Kagome. 'Kikyou, no it can't be.can it.the only was is if she is.' Naraku thought to himself.
"Lady Kagome," Naraku said bowing, "your bleeding milady." "Hai I bit my lip," Kagome said whipping the blood from her mouth.
Naraku sniffed the air daintily so Sesshoumaru wouldn't notice. 'The blood of Kikyou' Naraku thought.
"I must go," Naraku said turning to leave.
"Remember what I said Sesshoumaru," was Naraku's last words as he jumped over the wall.
Kagome turned to look at Sesshoumaru.
"What was that all about," Kagome asked.
"Nothing," Sesshoumaru answered.
Nodding to tell that she understood that he didn't want to talk about it she picked up Kirara and walked towards the door she had came out of.
Sesshoumaru watched Kagome walk up the stairs until she was no longer visible. Sighing he picked up his sword. 'Naraku's right I need to get an heir or he will get my lands when I pass, But that is so long from now,' Sesshoumaru said pulling on his shirt and walking up the stairs. Reaching the top of the stairs Sesshoumaru was greeted by Kagome's smiling face.
"I kind of lost my way," Kagome said.
"Follow me," Sesshoumaru said.
Kagome watched the way Sesshoumaru walked and the way his hair swayed with every step that he took. 'He could never love me," Kagome thought to herself.
Sesshoumaru walked Kagome back to her room and watched her enter. Their eyes met as she went to close the door behind her. Sesshoumaru replayed how their eyes had locked in his head and how she made him feel giddy whenever she was around him. 'She could never love me,' Sesshoumaru thought to himself.
