Chapter 19
"Did you see her!!? That dirty, human is here with Sesshoumaru!!" The voice says stomping down the footpath toward the spring you're lounging in.
"Maybe you're mistaken, Lady Sansuki, Lord Sesshoumaru has never taken any liking to humans anyways, and why would he start now?" A girl that's probably with her says. You recognize the shrilly voice as the cat demon, Sansuki and plunge your head underwater, not wanting to get into a fight with her... Not now anyways...
"I know what I saw and it was that human!!" Sansuki yells above water. You notice their blurry figures stop right in front of the spring your in from underwater.
"Want to get in this one, Lady Sansuki?"
"No, let's go down there, this smells like a human is drowning in it..." Sansuki says and the two figures head down the hall. You wait until they're springs away until you resurface again coughing and gasping for air. Sooner or later you calm down and sit back and close your eyes.
"Hi (Insert Name)!" You open your eyes and jump to find Naomi, who you almost confused with the girl that recently attacked you, Kaori, sitting in front of you in the spring.
"Hey Naomi..." You say and sigh.
"What are you doing in a place like this, ?" Naomi asks sitting back.
"I'm here with Sesshoumaru... He's attending the convention thing...."
"Oh, I was invited to the convention... I don't know why though..." Naomi replies.
Thirty minutes to an hour later more or less, you and Naomi leaves the springs wearing a castle provided, white yukata. You two part ways at the entrance and you meet up with Risa who's still waiting there; she then takes your clothes to wash them and then leads you to your room. After a while of walking through the castle halls and going up a few stairs you and Risa finally reach your room and Risa slides open the fusuma {sliding door}, blocking you from entering and steps out of your way.
"Here's your room, Lady (Insert Name), please enjoy..." Risa says and you step inside and look around. "Oh and I will be back around diner time to help you get ready, see you later!" Risa says and bows.
"Thanks, bye!" You reply back to Risa and she slides the fusuma closed then walks away.
You look around the room you'll be staying in to see that it's fairly big and very elegant. In the room there was an already made nice size, futon with pretty silk sheets, a couple of cushions here and there, a small low table, and a small mantelpiece. You walk over to the table, sit on the cushion beside it and slide the Kyojin under the table, which you've had hooked on to your yukata since you've left the spring. You then look around for any hair combing device in the room and you don't see one so you rake your hand through your slightly wet hair, running out the small tangles... After improving your hair as much as you could, from the wet look you walk over to the futon and lay on the soft, warm silk sheets. You roll over on your side slightly, now feeling the silk caress your cheek and you gradually close your eyes, until you hear the fusuma slide open and close, quickly. You promptly sit up and look toward the entrance to see Sesshoumaru.
"Hey Sesshoumaru, how did your meeting go?" You ask smiling slightly.
"Well..." He says and you nod slightly and lay back down.
"...How long are we going to be here for them to give us rooms?" You ask. "But, it's kind of comfy here..." You say smiling lazily referring to futon. You feel the futon move and shift weight slightly and you glance to side- ways to see Sesshoumaru has joined in on your lounge.
"An exact time hasn't been made yet, but probably nothing more than a week." He answers.
"Oh, that doesn't sound long..." You say still pleased with the comfortableness of the futon. You roll over slightly, and lay your head on his shoulder and you then feel his arm wrap around your waist, pulling you closer to him. You listen to his heartbeat even out and feel his chest rise and fall and feel him lightly run his clawed hand through your still, moist hair. Feeling most comfortable in this position, laying your head on his chest you slowly start to fall asleep.
"Excuse me? Lord Sesshoumaru, Lady (Insert Name)?" A voice says outside the door and you recognize it as Risa. You slowly get up, followed by Sesshoumaru and head to the door/fusuma and slide it open where Risa appears.
"Yes, Miss Risa?"
"Lord Sesshoumaru is being called to a meeting before dining..." Risa says and bows. Sesshoumaru nods and exits the room. "Lady (Insert Name), I've been ordered by Lord Gyki to give you something to wear to dine..." Risa says and enters the room with other maids following carrying several different kinds of kimonos.
"Um, thanks..." You say and approach the maids' with kimonos. After a few minutes of looking through the kimonos you find one you like and the other maids, except for Risa bow and leave.
"Do you need help putting it on Lady (Insert Name)?" Risa asks.
"No, thanks anyway, but I think I'll manage..." You answer.
"Alright, I'll be out here..." Risa says and steps out the room, sliding the door close behind her. You change into the kimono and Risa comes back in with things to do your hair. "Are you enjoying your room with Lord Sesshoumaru, Lady (Insert Name)?" Risa asks as she fixes your hair.
"Yea, the futon here is nicer than the one I have back home..." You reply and Risa starts to giggle.
"I bet it must be nice, too, to share a room with such a powerful demon, like Lord Sesshoumaru... Better yet, get to travel with him... I envy you Lady !" Risa says and sighs.
"Wh-what? We-we're sharing a room?" You ask as a light blush shades your cheeks.
"...Yes, um, you didn't know? If that's a problem I can arrange-"
"No, it's ok, really! So, um how long have you been working here Miss Risa?" You ask changing the subject.
"A few days after the castle was created..."
"Eh? That long? That must be why you don't get lost in here."
"Actually the castle was created just last week... I've been a servant here for only a few days..."
"Oh, that's strange... Who's the owner?" You ask. 'But, why is a convention being held at a newly made place like this...?' You think to yourself frowning.
"I haven't seen the owner... None of the servants of my rank has, but I've heard he has never left his room since he's came into the castle." Risa replies.
"That's all you heard about him?" You ask.
"Well, yes and I heard he is going to attend dinner to meet the guests..."
"Oh..."
"Well, I'm done... You look very pretty, Lady (Insert Name)!" Risa says smiling and backing away towards the door.
"Uh, thanks, Miss Risa..." You say and stand up.
"Well, follow me dinner should be ready by now." She says and slides open the fusuma and steps out the room, you follow.
You follow Risa down the hall, down another hall, down the stairs and then down some more halls. You and Risa then exit through doors and walk down a bridge like hall, where the outside was on either sides, a small stairwell that entered into the garden on one side and a roof covered the whole thing. You follow Risa down the hall and she stops in front of the two guards who seem to be guarding the doors behind them.
"Lady (Insert Name), this is the entrance to the dining area, Lord Sesshoumaru is in there..." Risa says.
"Um, thanks for your help, Miss Risa..." You say and she nods, bows and walks away.
The guard guys open the doors for you and you proceed through. You enter the dining area to see it's an indeed, very large room with many... Demons in it... Everyone here is dressed up, except for the few maids around... As you walk through the room some give you strange glances and double- takes. You then spot Sesshoumaru leaning on a wall and walk toward him and see that he has his eyes closed, either he was napping or just completely bored stiff...
"Hey Sesshoumaru!" You say smiling and he opens his eyes and... Starts to stare... To your discomfort. "Sess-"
"The feast is ready, will all guests please be seated!!" You hear a voice say and notice it as Gyki.
The guests around the room start to head to the three large, low tables in back of the room against the wall. You follow Sesshoumaru to the middle table and sit beside him. On the table there were many different kinds of foods and such. You look around and see that most of the guests have started eating. You look towards the door and notice a shady guy enter followed by the guards, then Gyki walk up to him and bow. 'He must be the owner...' You think to yourself watching.
