Hey guys! Sorry that it took so long to post this chapter! I've been at the beach for four days without an Internet connection and couldn't post. I truly hope that you guys haven't already given up on me, because there's still a lot of the story to go and I intend to finish it. Well, so far, I've only gotten one review and that was from my best friend, so that doesn't count at all. So, PLEASE R&R!

She woke up in a bed, and had no idea, whatsoever, of how she had gotten there. All that she remembered was Sesshoumaru picking her up and telling her that he had no need to tell her why he didn't want the Shikon no Tama Shards.
But, then-again, she thought, why would he NEED them? If he wanted, he could rule over all of Japan, but instead, he's content to rule over the land that he's already obtained.
"My Lady," said a voice from the door. Kagome looked up to see a very beautiful female youkai coming towards her, " I am so happy that you have awakened at last! You must be terribly hungry."
"Yeah, now that you mention it, I am," Kagome said smiling. " How long have I been asleep?"
"For almost three whole days, My Lady. Do you feel well enough to breakfast in the dining hall with the Lord of the manor?" She then started to change the bandages on Kagome's head. All of the sudden, she exclaimed. "My Lady! What brings you to have such a wonderfully quick recovery?"
" What do you mean?" Kagome was becoming very curious. What exactly was this woman talking about?
"Well, your arm, Lady, it is healed completely, as though never broken, and y - your forehead! You had that horrible gash that was sure to leave an even more horrible scar! It's gone! And without even a mark left on your skin! It's as though it never even happened to you! Even My Lord Sesshoumaru still wears the bandages from the fight with the trolls!"
"Wow, that IS sorta strange..." Kagome stated. "It's never happened before."
"Well, Lady Kagome, I think that that you are well enough to breakfast with the Lord and the child, Rin, but first my Lord Sesshoumaru has sent you some Kimonos for you to wear. He says that you are to wear one at any time that you are to be in his presence."
"Oh he does, does he?"
"Why, yes, My Lady, he does
"Well, I'll play along for now, but he better not get too used to this commanding way of his when he's around me, " she said as she put on a beautiful green kimono with help, of course, and then she was lead down to the dining hall.
The walk was a long one, although not surprisingly. By the time that they had gotten to the dining hall, they had gone through so many doors, rooms, hallways, corridors, down so many stairwells, that she wouldn't be surprised if she couldn't have found her way to the next room, let alone back to her bedroom
"The pretty lady is awake!" was the exclamation that she walked into the dining hall with. "The pretty lady is awake, Sesshy!" the owner of the voice was a very small girl with raven-black hair and a 1000-wat smile. She only looked to be about 7 or 8. I wonder what it's like to live here with Sesshoumaru? Kagome wondered. It's gotta be pretty boring, since he's away almost all the time. This must be Rin, the child that the youkai was talking about having breakfast.
" Hello," Kagome said, smiling pleasantly, "you must be Rin!
Rin just grinned, pleased that Kagome had known her name.
^_^
"How did I let her get out of my sight? Where did she go?" Inu-Yasha wondered out loud. They had been searching for Kagome for almost three days now. Ever since the fight...but which one? Did she run away because she was upset with him? Was it the argument that they had had? Was it something to do with Sesshoumaru? She did disappear around the time that the fight had ended... but why would he want to capture Kagome? Was it to get to him? No. Kagome was too smart to get herself captured by Sesshoumaru. Or was she? His thoughts were in turmoil. How did this happen? "Kagome... where are you?"
"Don't worry, Inu-Yasha, we'll find her," said a gentle voice. Turning around, he saw Sango and Miroku walking towards him, Shippo and Kirara at their heels. "Just never give up hope. I promise, when we find her, she'll be alive, well, and happy to see you," she said, smiling at Inu-Yasha.
"Feh."
^_^
"The female that was attending to you will be your own personal maid. She will attend to all of your needs so that you do not bother the rest of my staff with them," Sesshoumaru informed her after she had finished eating.
"But what's her name?"
"She is called Eriko. Remember, although you have an attendant, you are still my prisoner."
"I will," she said bitterly, leaving the room.
^_^
There was a knock at the door. Kagome turned around and opened it. There was a little girl standing on the other side, a bouquet of flowers clutched in her little hand, a silly grin pasted on her face. "Pretty flowers for the pretty lady!" she said, holding them out to Kagome.
"Why, thank you, Rin," Kagome said, smiling as she took them. "They're beautiful!" she turned around to put them in a vase by the window
^_^
Well, that's the end of the chapter! Hoped you like it! Peace out and don't forget to R&R!
