~*~At Sesshoumaru's castle~*~

"Come on Lady Kagome. Rin and you are almost there!" The little girl dragged and led the two of them down the long corridors. The walls stone were decorated with paintings of what Kagome interrupted as portraits as relatives of Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha. As one of her arms lightly brushed the passing wall Kagome could feel the cold seep through her uniforms material and settle onto her skin. Kagome shivered at that feeling, the movement of her arm made its way down to Rin's arm.

"Is Lady Kagome okay? Is there something wrong with her?" Rin's childish voice rang through the halls to end up into an eco.

"I am fine Rin. I promise." The two of them made their way through the jumble of hallways. With no warning Rin stopped to a halt in front of two rather large wooden doors.

"This will be Lady Kagome's room. Rin's is across the from it."

Kagome stared down at the little girls face only to be greeted by a full smile.

'Is she sure this is were I am going to stay? This doesn't seem like what A prisoner would stay in. Especially one that is being held captive by Sesshoumaru its like he is trying to be nice or something.

Kagome was torn out of her thought when she felt a light tug on her right hand. She shook her head and once again looked at Rin.

"Are you sure this is my room Rin?" Kagome was now showing her confusion but the little girl standing besides her swaying back and forth on her tippie toes was too little and care free to understand.

"Rin is sure." With that said Rin lifted her left had and met it with the door. She placed all of her weight on to the door and pushed with all of her might.

"Would you like some help?" Kagome stared down at Rin who was now exhausted from trying about five times to reveal Kagome's room. Kagome lifted her hand right above the one already resting on the doorway and pushed on it to assist the little girl.

The door creaked open to expose a light blue room. Kagome was in awe.

'Is all of this for me?'

Rin and herself made their way across the dark wooden floors and sat on the bed.

'The bedding is so beautiful. I love the sukura spaced out all over the light blue material.'

Kagome let her eyes guide her the rest of the way. She saw a Window that had a view of the garden below at her right. It was concealed by a curtain with the same pattern as her bed but trimmed in lace. At the foot of the bed was a light oak chest that matched the dresser, nightstand, and closet doors that were on the opposite walls as it.

"Rin's is the same way except the mines is done in yellow." There was a knock on the door and in stepped Jaken, Sesshoumaru's loyal minion.

"You with Rin are to be expected in My Lords study. Make yourself presentable and get a shower along with getting your self dressed." Jaken gestured to Kagome's uniform. "Come on Rin I have to go take to the field."

"Okay! See you later Lady Kagome!" RI gave Kagome a death grip hug, jumped off of the bed and went with Jaken. The toad slammed the door and followed Rin down the corridor.

"I wonder what's with him? Oh well." Kagome went to her chest at the end of the bed and found a red kimono with orange and yellow flowers randomly spread across it. She peeked in to the hallway and then cautiously made her way to the room she had seen before with Rin. Kagome was hesitant to undress herself but in the end she had done so and soaked in the water. After a while she stepped out and quickly got her self dress and walked to Sesshoumaru's study."

~*~With the rest of them~*~

"Hurry up. I said we were going to get an early start and I meant it." Inuyasha stood there before the group tapping his foot impatiently.

"Calm down Inuyasha, we have to pack up, eat, make sure we have everything." Miroku was getting mad at the fact that He was the one being yelled at and not anyone else.

Inuyasha paced back and forth to pass the time. Sango was cooking Inuyasha's favorite and it seemed as though it was doing nothing to sooth him. Kirara and Shippo were playing near by waiting for their food to be done.

"Inuyasha, Shippo, Miroku breakfast is ready." Sango shouted as she quickly placed each proportion into a bowl.

"YEAH!!! I AM STAVED!" Shippo came running up to everyone followed by Kirara. He stopped a couple inches in front of the steaming bowls of noodles and started to gobble down the food.

"Thank you Lady Sango." Miroku said as he lowered his hand down to grope Sango.

"DO what I think you are going to do and die." Sango had a stern face on but it was ruined by a blush that had crept onto her face. Miroku, with no hesitation, withdrew his hand. HE then bent down to reach for his breakfast not noticing what Sango had snatched.

"You Pervert!?!?!" Sango shouted as she raised her huge weapon on collided it with the monk's head. He fell to the ground in a matter of seconds and fell unconscious.

"That should teach him. for today at least. Inuyasha come over here and eat right now."

"Feh." Inuyasha leapt over to her, grabbed the bowl, and started to wolf down the food, as did Sango and the now conscious Miroku.
