Thank you all for your reviews everyone!
Theblackdemoness, I know I said Chinese. I did that for a reason. As you might know some Japanese schools do teach Chinese. So Kagome could have learned a little or heard it other places. And secondly I said it sounded like Chinese. It isn't but it sounds very familiar to it. Sorry if I sound like a know it all…which I am not even close to coming to! But I hope that helps you.
And once again as a reminder I do not own any of the characters in InuYasha as that would so totally rock if I did!
On with the story!
Chapter 4 New Home
'Whoa this place is huge! I hope I don't get lost!'
"Are you going to come or just stare at the palace the whole time?" Sesshomaru said looking back at her from ahead.
"Huh? Oh sorry." Kagome said running to catch up with him.
"Here are the rules: 1. You are not allowed to enter my personal chambers. 2. You are not allowed to walk around here freely when I am not home. 3. You will come to all meals. 4. You will bathe everyday. I do not want any nasty smells in my palace. And lastly you will show respect to all lords and guests that visit. If you break any of these rules I will punish you in a way that I see fit. Do I make myself clear?"
'Well he sure is bossy, but I have nothing else I can do.' "Okay."
"Good, I will be training you from now on in sword fighting and teach you how to use the bow."
"Okay, but why am I learning?"
"You will soon find out."
'What does he mean by that?'
As they got closer to the palace Kagome noticed that the doors where thick, metal, and very high up in the air. When they got within 4 yards of the palace the doors opened.
"Mi-lord! You are back! Welcome back Mi-lord!"
"Jaken be quite this instance."
"Yes mi-lord!"
"Jaken, prepare a room for her she will be staying here for a good amount of time. Stock it with more appropriate cloths and some fighting kimonos."
"Yes right away mi-lord!"
"Is dinner ready yet?"
"Yes mi-lord!"
"That is all."
"Right away mi-lord!" Jaken finished saying and running off to do as he was told to do.
'What the hell was that?'
Sesshomaru led the way down some of the hallways for what seemed like eternity. Until finally he came to some large double doors and pulled them open. Revealing a beautiful dinning room and long table that could fit 100 people.
"Sakura?"
"Yes my lord? What can I do for you?" A young female said coming into view. She had beautiful navy blue hair, blood red eyes with black eye shadow, and a figure to go with it in a simple pale blue kimono.
"Set another plate for our new guest that will be staying here for a while."
"Right away." Sakura said backing up and going to the kitchen.
"Kagome you are to remember this is where you will be eating. Never be late or you starve. Remember my rules."
"Uh. Okay."
"Sesshomaru-Sama the table is set."
"Kagome you will sit next to me."
"Okay." Kagome said sitting down at his right hand.
"We have much to talk about."
"About what?"
"Business."
"Like?"
"Why are you here, and not home, how did you get here, how to get you home, and if there might be anyone that could help."
"Oh, okay. I am not sure I can answer those for you though."
"I figured that. After I train you for ten days we will go back to the bone eaters well."
"Bone eaters well?"
"Yes where you came from. Do not interrupt me. There we will inspect the well and see if we can find anything out."
"Okay but why am I to be trained?"
"In case of a demon attacks or humans."
"Oh, okay."
"Sakura, we are done."
"Then we shall clean up now Lord Sesshomaru."
"Kagome you will go take your bath and then go to bed. It is getting late and I have other businesses to attend to. Kurumi?"
"Yes Lord Sesshomaru?" A young woman that looked about 21 said as she entered the room. She had long black hair with silver streaks, white eyes, silver eye shadow and 2 black stripes on her cheeks, and a silk black kimono.
"You are now Kagome's personal servant. You will help her get ready, dressed, cleaned, and learn her way around here. Now take Kagome to the bathing springs."
"Right away my lord. Lady Kagome, please follow me this way." Kurumi said walking out of the dining area.
"Excuse me are you a demon?"
"Yes I am a wolf demon."
"They have different types?"
"Yes for example, Lord Sesshomaru is a dog demon, Sakura is a dolphin demon."
"Ah, okay I think I am starting to get it. Thank you Kurumi."
"It is okay my lady."
"Please just call me Kagome. Calling me lady is just way to weird."
"But I will get in trouble."
"Please just when it is us?"
"If you wish my la- I mean Kagome."
"Thank you Kurumi."
Just as Kagome said that they came to some doors with designs of vines going up.
"Here we are Kagome, the bathing springs." Kurumi opened the doors revealing a gigantic spring with tables to put stuff such as towels, cleaning stuff, etc. a bath as big a pool.
"Whoa, talk about living in luxury!"
"Would you like any help Kagome, If not I will go get you some cloths to wear."
"Um… I am good can you tell me if there is any shampoo or body wash?"
"Yes over there on the table."
"Thanks I am good to go then."
Kurumi bowed and walked out of the room to go get some cloths for Kagome. As soon as the doors closed Kagome began to undress, but not before she got some shampoo, conditioners, and body washes she liked.
"This is so relaxing." 'I can't believe what is happening, and what did happen. I wonder if this is all a dream and I am going to wake up in my bed. Oh well… I should probably finish up soon. Kagome said rinsing out the conditioner and washing herself. She was about to reach for the towel when Kurumi came in.
"Hello Kagome. I brought some cloths. Here let me give you a hand." Kurumi said putting the cloths on the table and getting Kagome the towel and helped her out.
"Thanks." Kurumi helped Kagome dry her hair and then helped her change into a silk red kimono with light pink Sakura blossoms.
"This is so beautiful!"
"It is on you Kagome."
"Awe your embarrassing me!"
"But it is true. It is getting late you should go to bed. Come I will take you to your room."
As they walked down the halls Kagome looked at the walls and noticed paintings. Some of nature, animals, and some of people. Some which looked to be the family line from what she could tell. Finally she came to a door.
"Kagome, Sesshomaru is next door, but you cannot enter unless given permission."
"Okay."
"Have good dreams Kagome. If you need anything just call me and I will be here. I will wake you in the morning."
"Okay thank you Kurumi. Good night."
Hope ya like! Please r&r!
