Chapter2 Meeting with an old freind

Kagome woke up under silk sheets, next to Shippo. She shook Shippo awake. "Kagome, where are we?" Shippo asked.

"We are going to stay here until I decide to leave..." Kagome said looking into Shippo's eyes.

"Does this have any thing to do with Inuyasha? I'll kill him if he has hurt you!" said a worried Shippo.

"Yes...It does have something to do with Inuyasha, but he didn't hurt me." Kagome said. The two sat in scilence for a while until a servant came in.

" Milady, Lord Sesshoumaru wishes you to bathe and change in to some proper clothing" The servant said. "If it is not too bold, but your kit is cute."

"Thank you. He is my adopted kit." Kagome said. "Which way is the spring?"

"This way milady." The servant said.

"Kagome why did she say Sesshoumaru?" Shippo asked not yet catching on. "Is he who we are staying with?"

"We will be staying with him, for a while." Kagoem said continuing to follow the servant.

Shippo's eyes widened. "Kagome! He has tried to kill us countless times! Why are we staying with him?"

"Because he has allowed us to." Kagome retorted.

"Ok,but I still don't trust him." Shippo said. The trio arrived at the spring, and Kagome asked the servant her name.

"My name is Sasha. I am your personal servant." Sasha said and bowed. "I will bring you what you are to wear when you are done, Milady"

"You can call me Kagome." Kagome said.

"Yes, if you wish, Lady Kagome." Sasha said, and left. Kagome and Shippo, who was alert, enjoyed their bath, and got out. Kagome called Sasha, whom brought them clean clothes, left them to dress. Kagome looked at her reflectin in the spring, looking at the kimono she was wearing. It was a powder blue, with a white cresent moon embroided on the back. Shippo wore something pretty close looking to what he usually wore. They left, after Sasha had returned.

"Sasha, how did you come to be in Sesshoumaru's employment?" Kagome asked.

"Milady, I mean Kagome, he saved my life when bandits came and killed my family. Then he raised me, for then I was young. Come to think of it, he has never had a female, other than the servants, here as long as I have been living here." Sasha told her. "I am going to have to call you 'Milady' around Lord Sesshoumaru, because he will be come upset with me if I don't."

"Thats ok." Kagome said, following the servant into a room with books lineing the sides of the walls. "Where are we?"

"Milady, we are in Lord Sesshoumaru's private study. I must now leave you here, Lord Sesshoumaru will be with you and your young kit shortly."

"Kagome, she seemed nice" Shippo whispered in Kagome's ear.

"I know, I hope that we will be able to stay long enogh for me to get to know her." Kagome whispered into Shippo's ear. The kit simply nodded, suddenly becoming aware of Kagome looking around at the books. "There must be hundreds of books here!" Kagome proceeded to grab a book, and sat down on a couch. She soon forgot that Sesshoumaru would be in the room at any moment, as she read a book to Shippo about anceint history. Seshoumaru had entered the room quietly, only to see Kagome sitting down reading to Shippo. He stood there in awe for s few minutes as she read to the kit. Shippo had been to busy listening to Kagome to relize that the Inu taiyoukai was standing a few yards away.

"I see you have taken an interrest in history." Ssshoumaru said, startling both human and kifsune.

"I just saw the books, and grabbed one and started to read, sorry for not asking you first." Kagome said as she placed the book back in it's place.

"You are to eat lunch with me." Sesshoumaru said. "Follow me." Kagome followed with Shippo on her shoulder. Sesshoumaru soon brought them to a spaceous dinning room. He took his seat, only after he had seen to seating Kagome and Shippo.

The doors of the dinning room suddenly burst open as an excited Rin, and a tired Jaken came in.

"Lord Sesshoumaru!" Rin said as she sped towards him wrapping her little arms around his arm. She suddenly took notice of Kagome and Shippo. "Who is the pretty lady, who is he? Where are they from? Is the pretty lady going to be Rin's new moomy?"

"Rin, sit down I will explain every thing shortly." Sesshoumaru said.

"This is..Kagome, and her kit, and she will take care of you, and she might not be your new..mommy as you called it." He continued, not showing any emotion on his face.

"Ok, what is the kit's name" Rin asked.

"My name is Shippo." Shippo said happily, because he had not relized that there was another child at the strange castle.

"You two can play after we eat, while Kagome and I talk about matters." Sesshoumaru said. Kagome looked on the table as the servants brought the food in.

"Where did you come across such god food Sesshoumaru?" Kagoe asked as she ate the food.

"One of my servants, Renea, cooked it, it is her own creation." Sesshoumaru said, pleased that Kagome like it, but didn't show it on his face or in his voice.

"She is a good cook, I would like to meet her later." Kagome said, and smiled. As soon as the children has finished eating they had been taken outside to play.
