The Little MerKag

The Room

Chapter Six

~*~*~* Last Time ~*~*~*~

Kagome watched with mild interest as Rin started to tug clothes out of the well-stocked closet. Standing back up on unsteady legs she walked up to Rin, immediately being handed several blue dresses, which accented her eyes. Quickly being stuffed into one her eyebrows were raised as she heard the voice that was speaking behind the door of her room.

"INUUUUUYYYAAASSSHHHHAAAAA?! IINNUYYAASSHHAA DEAR?!"

That voice . . . was her own!

~*~*~* Now ~*~*~*~

Stumbling a bit in the somewhat uncomfortable blue dress that she had been stuffed into, Kagome made her way outside of her room. Her azure eyes wide with shock as she saw a woman who could easily pass as her reflection on a mirror. A surprised Rin, whose face fell the moment she saw the other occupant of the hall, soon followed her.

"Oh . . . I see you've met Kagome, Kikyou."

~Kikyou?!~

Her eyes narrowing Kikyou looked over Kagome. She hadn't expected to run into the mer-girl while she captured Inuyasha's heart. This might be a problem . . .

"Yes . . . Uh . . . where did this . . . Kagome come from?"

"Inuyasha found her on the beach, poor thing passed out."

"I see . . . well . . . have you seen Inuyasha? I want to talk to him about the wedding."

~ . . .Wedding?. . .~

"He left with Sesshoumaru and Inutaisho."

"Fine . . . have a nice day Rin."

As Kikyou walked away Rin turned to a suddenly depressed Kagome.

"Voice of an angel, but I get the shivers from her."

Nodding in agreement Kagome followed as Rin led her to a wide room, the walls made of glass so that gave a stunning view of the morning ocean.

"You were out for a while there, Inuyasha will be glad to see you're up."

For the rest of the day Kagome was given a tour of the vast estate that was the Inuyoukai house. The first few HOURS of the tour being uneventful until Kagome came up to a locked door.

"Oh . . . That's the late Mrs. Inuyoukai's bedroom . . . no one has gone in their since she drowned."

Frowning Kagome gave the doorknob one more twist . . . and to her surprised . . . it unlocked.

"How did you do that? Only Inutaisho has the key . . . well. . . No one is here . . . let's take a peek!"

Hesitantly Kagome and Rin made their way into the room. Quickly the smell of the sea reaching their noses, and Rin let out an astonished gasp. The entire room was done in aquamarine, blues and peaches. It felt as if they had both just stepped into the middle of the ocean. Sitting quietly on one of the end tables was a picture of a smiling woman and a young boy.

"That's Inuyasha's mom. . . she drowned when Inuyasha was younger."

~But that looks like . . . ~ (There's a big DUH moment coming here)

"Her name was Yukiko"

Kagome's jaw nearly went through the second story floor. Upon closer inspection of the picture it was indeed Lady Yukiko. Almost instantly Kagome realized why everyone had gone through such lengths to keep her in the sea. The sadness in Yukiko's eyes was obvious, even as she held the laughing boy in her arms. Behind them was a clear view of the ocean.

~Call of the sea . . . ~

Soon Kagome lost herself in the room, Rin had left it for some reason, which she didn't bother to listen to, and she was alone in the room for what seemed a very short while.

~Mother, Sango, Shippou~

She fond herself jolted out of her sphere of thought though, when she heard the thundering voice.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?!"

AN: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Betch'ya can't guess who it is that just walked in!
