Nefertari was shaken out of her thoughts when Kagome called out for her. She ran to where Inuyasha was just getting up. "Are you okay, pup," she asked as Nefertari held out her hand to help him. Inuyasha took her hand to get up. "Yeah, I'm okay. Are you," he asked while dusting himself off. 'If you call being what looked like seduced,' Nefertari thought, but told him that she was fine and that he didn't harm her.
"Anyway, my summer home if just a few miles ahead. We'll be there by the time it gets dark, so the possibility of seeing that overgrown mutt is about, well to us, seven to none," Nefertari said. 'But... why do I feel like I want to see him again,' she thought at the same time. Inuyasha sheathed Tetsuiaga and the group headed back on the way to Nefertari's home. It was pure silence, with the occasional sounds of the forest around them.
After an hour or so, they made it to a clearing that held an Iron Gate. Nefertari smiled. "Beyond those gates is my home. I must warn you. It isn't much, but it's what I call a 'home away from home'," she said as she went up to a one of the cat statues on either side of the gate.
Nefertari tapped the small jewel on its forehead five times. Inuyasha and the gang watched in awe as the cat's eyes glowed a ruby red color. "What's going on, Ari," asked Kagome who stepped out from behind Inuyasha. "Oh that? It's just unlocking the gate. It takes a moment or two," Nefertari said as if it were simple enough that a small child could do it.
Loud clicks were heard unlocking within the bars. Slowly, the gate opened enough to allow them in. "Follow me," she said, and she walked through the gate. Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo, Sango, Miroku, and Kirara filed in through the opening like asked to. After they walked through, the gate closed with a loud *CLANG*.
All of them, but Nefertari, jumped at the sound. Nefertari just glanced over her shoulder. "You know," she said, "I really need to get that fixed." They just looked at her like she was insane, but kept following her. The reached the end of the clearing when Nefertari stopped.
"We're here," she said and she pulled back the brush. The Inu gang gasped. (A/N: You know I should stop here, but—I just don't have the heart!) Before them was a magnificent white Shoin style mansion. Kagome estimated it to be four stories high, with the exceptions of some of the towers. There was a garden in the front with a small lake with a couple of cherry blossom trees surrounding it; a mini garden containing Kiku, Chrysanthemum, and Nojigiku flowers. There was a stone path that started at the beginning of the garden throughout to the doors of the mansion.
"It's beautiful," breathed Sango. Shippo and Miroku nodded their heads in agreement. Nefertari just smiled and walked onto the path that led towards the doors. The group followed until Nefertari escorted them into the main hall. It, like the rest of the mansion, was richly decorated with artifacts and tapestries from around the world, and interiors paved with tatami mats and such.
"Now then, I will put you in your rooms, and I will tell you when breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be served and where you may, or may not travel inside. I WILL have meetings with lords, ladys, and other important people," Nefertari spoke as she led them down the Eastern corridor. She showed Kagome and Sango their rooms on the right of the hall. "All right, girls. Your rooms are right next o each other's and boys, your rooms are across from theirs."
Shippo, if you look in the gold chest, you'll see some toys that you can play with that my broth--, I mean, I played with when I was young," she said as she patted him on the head. "Thanks Ari," chirped Shippo and all, but Inuyasha went to settle into their rooms. He just followed her down the hall into her room. "I know you almost said brother. Why didn't you finish it," Inuyasha asked at Nefertari walked behind a changing screen.
"I can't really tell you, pup," she said from behind it. After a moment or two, she came out wearing an expensive, golden robe with her hair held up in a bun with two crystal sticks. "I know that you are hiding things from us. You can tell me," Inuyasha said while Nefertari sat down in front of her vanity mirror. He stood behind her watching her every movement. "I will tell you only one of my secrets. The rest are for me to tell when I want to, if I want to," she said in a low whisper as she looked at his reflection.
"Spit it out, already," snapped Inuyasha crossing his arms impatiently. Nefertari closed her eyes. "You're right. I'm not a noble woman. I'm not even a lowlife demon. I am... a princess," she said solemnly.
