Last Time: "I don't know he is so controlling and it scares me, but I have no home any more and I don't know where else I could go."

Sango gave Kagome a sad smile and turned to leave. But turned when she heard Kagome's voice, "I'll try, what have I got to loose, right?"

Chapter 4

Sango walked quickly back to Kagome and placed her hands on the raven haired girl's shoulders. "Kagome," Sango pulled her into a tight embrace, "You don't know how much this means to me."

With that the girls broke apart Kagome gave the servant a genuine smile, "Well, on with the tour?" she soon wanted to take back her words when she realized that they were back where they had began.

"Well, our talk lasted through the tour of your wing, you are only allowed in your wing, which is the east wing, the hot springs, the library, the kitchen and the first floor rooms that have open doors. If a door is locked, obviously do not enter, but do not ask to enter either. Do not, and I repeat do not go to into the west wing, if you do, there is no telling what will happen." With that said Sango slowly turned around and disappeared into the shadows of the castle.

"Great," Kagome slumped to the floor, "I am only allowed certain places I can understand that, but what is so important about the west wing?" She sat in the hall by her door on the floor, if there had been more then three people in the castle people would have wondered what was plaguing the young woman's mind, but there was no one; the castle was empty with the eerie silence.

Shippo having listened to their whole conversation emerged from his hiding place and bounded towards Kagome. "Kagome," the girl turned her head to the side to see the cute little boy standing next to her, "you look like you could use a soak in the hot springs. That is what master always does when he thinks."

She smiled thinking about the warm water on her skin, not to mention that she probably smelled horrible, Kagome decided that it was the best thing to do, her mother always said that a bath washed away the days sorrows. "Shippo, that sounds like a great idea." Kagome had taken a liking to the young boy, even though she had not been there long.

"Hey, Shippo," the red haired kid looked up with sparkling eyes, "want to take a bath with me?"

"Yeah! I remember when my mom was alive taking baths with her!" When Kagome heard the word mother a pained look shot across her face, Shippo instantly hit himself with a small hand in the forehead. "Sorry."

"It's okay, when we take our bath you can tell me more about your self." Kagome stated smiling, trying to reassure Shippo that she was okay.

Both took off walking down the hall and in the direction of the springs. It was a cute picture, Kagome much taller then Shippo leaning slightly so she could hold his hand.

In the hot springs Sesshomaru sat thinking, he replayed the day in his head. He was shaken out of his thoughts when he heard some one, rather, two some ones coming down the hall towards him. He sat still for a moment before he recognized their scents. One was the annoying rat Shippo and the other was.Kagome.

Jumping to his feet quickly he wrapped an elegant robe around him self. Sitting quietly on a bench, so that they would see him when they came in, he though about how Kagome would respond, would she blush slightly, like when he had pinned her to the bed, would she just stand there, or would she ignore him completely?

As the door opened he raised his head slightly to see the two figures standing in the door way.

Kagome and Shippo had been talking about the good times that had, had with their parents. Repeating embarrassing stories that they had never told anyone, just getting to know each other. The longer they talked the more attached and motherly Kagome had become towards Shippo.

When they opened the door Kagome was surprised to see Sesshomaru sitting there, as if he knew that had been coming. She gasped slightly taking in his elegance and beauty. She hated to call a man beautiful. But Sesshomaru truly was.

He sat there regally, in a royal blue silk robe that off set his light creamy skin. With his white hair still slightly damp and rolling down his back Kagome almost fell to her feet. She had though he was good looking when they first had met, but now she saw him as gorgeous.

Kagome's mind fluttered back to what had happened earlier, when he has pinned her to the bed, she flushed slightly thinking about how his breath had felt on her face and how close their bodies had been.

Shippo stood on the floor looking from Kagome, his new mother, to his master, Sesshomaru. He could see the sparks between them, even though he was young. He was a demon after all, and was older then he seemed, Shippo knew exactly what was going on. Kagome obviously had a crush on Sesshomaru or found him good looking, while Sesshomaru was completely in awe of the creature Kagome.

The red haired boy took his cue, "Well, I don't need a bath, I took one this morning. Kagome, will you eat breakfast with us in the morning since you missed dinner."

Breaking her gaze from Sesshomaru she looked down to see Shippo's innocent little face. "Of course I will Shippo; I need to get to know you more, if we are going to be good friends!" Kagome smiled at patted him on the head as he skipped happily out of the room.

Once the boy was out of the springs and had shut the door, Kagome returned her eyes to Sesshomaru; she was surprised to find him off the bench and getting closer to her, by the moment.
