"Well you see," Kikyou said, "I was facing off against a demon that also sucked up demons. Kagome came and helped me and we became friends." Kikyou finished with a warm smile on her face. "Whatever let's go." Inuyasha said. "Um I can't do that Inuyasha." Kikyou said. "Why not?" Inuyasha asked. "I'm living a lie I died a long time ago. So farewell Inuyasha." Kikyou said. She took a dagger to her heard and plunged it in. Hundreds of light blue orbs flew to the sky all but one. A pink orb stood there for a moment then took of in the opposite direction.
Kagome felt something come at her but didn't turn around quick enough. She was thrown to the ground. Sesshoumaru watched as a light pink orb was absorbed into her body. "Argh my head." Kagome said getting up. "What was that?" Kagome asked. "It was the rest of your soul I believe." Sesshoumaru said.
"Oh right well then let's go." Kagome said Sesshoumaru just followed her. Kagome walked back to the camp where they left Rin with Ah and Un. "Hello Rin how were you when we were gone?" Kagome asked. "Rin was fine but Jaken left. A large bird demon came and told Jaken something then he left with her after he told Ah Un something." Rin said. Just then Jaken ran into the clearing. "Lord Sesshoumaru I have urgent news! The Lord's and Ladies want to come to the castle to discuss the matter of Naraku as well as the demon in your lands." Jaken said.
Sesshoumaru pondered this for a moment, "Kagome it seems there's a change in plans. It seems that I must return to my castle to meet with the other lord's of the lands. So it seems to will have to join me." Sesshoumaru said. "I don't mind I have to train myself again anyway so it's no big deal." Kagome said. "Good then we shall leave now. Jaken are the Lord's currently at my place of residence?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Yes my lord they are currently in the guest wing." Jaken said. Sesshoumaru nodded and summoned his cloud beneath him as Kagome, Rin, and Jaken mounted Ah Un.
The group arrived at Sesshoumaru's castle at sunset. Once Kagome saw the castle she was in awe. The grounds were like a small forest. On the east side of the castle was what looked like a real forest. In the front was a regular yard you would see in a modern home. Sakura tree's were scattered her and there and flowers of every kind imaginable and every color dotted the yard. A gravel pathway with Sakura trees making a border led from the fates to the front door much like a park walkway.
On the west side was what to Kagome looked like a lake. Sesshoumaru's castle was built by a mountain side that had a waterfall that made a beautiful clear lake. The lake led to a river that wound its way through the back yard and into the forest on the east side and disappeared into the surrounding foliage. In the back was a large building Kagome assumed was a dojo. It was as big as a modern foot ball field and just as tall. It was also surrounded by foliage.
What surprised Kagome the most was the castle it's self it looked ad if it had been carved out of marble. The windows had stained class depicting battles of a giant white dog in numerous battles. The front had a stair way with roman pillars surrounding it. The doors were carved out of solid oak with oriental designs decorating the edges. Above the roof like structure was a large blue crescent moon. Kagome assumed met that this was Sesshoumaru's castle the building had three stories Kagome could not imagine why he needed them though. All in all it surpassed even the most beautiful and expensive house in the modern world.
Sesshoumaru was glad that his castle had made the priestess react in such a way. He had designed the castle himself when he was just a pup. With the help of his mother of course. Sesshoumaru descended just outside the gate and Ah and Un followed his lead. Rin, Jaken, and Kagome got off of Ah and Un and followed Sesshoumaru into the palace.
"Kagome follow me I shall show you my castle. Tomorrow you shall meet the Lord's of the other lands." Sesshoumaru said. Kagome nodded still marveling at the beauty of the house. "Jaken take Rin to be." Sesshoumaru said. Jaken nodded and dragged a tired Rin to her bedroom. After Sesshoumaru opened the door. Once again Kagome was in awe the door opened to revile a grand staircase made from marble. The walls were white with portraits of many demon's and demonesses. On that was shown a lot was a male inu-demon Kagome assumed he was Sesshoumaru's father. The demon had the same color eyes as Sesshoumaru but shown with a kinder glint. His hair reached to about an inch off the floor. He also had a blue crescent moon on his forehead as well as two violet strips on each cheek.
He wore a dark blue kimono with silver patters of crescent moons on his left shoulder and right leg as well as a pair of black boots. His sack was silver with blue tips. On the particular picture Kagome was looking at was a demoness at his side as well as a young demon.
The demoness was beautiful she had long light blue hair almost white that was knee length. She had icy blue eye that held laughter in them. On her head was also a light blue crescent moon as well as purple strips. She wore a layered robe that entitled she was royalty her kimono had different shades of blue so Kagome made the obvious guess that her favorite color was blue.
Kagome was most surprised at who the young demon was. It was a young Sesshoumaru she didn't recognize it before because this demon looked happy he like his mother and father held warmth in his eyes where the Sesshoumaru she knew was as cold as ice. Kagome jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Come Kagome." Sesshoumaru said. Kagome tore her eyes away from the painting to follow Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru showed her the hot springs, dinning room, kitchen, servant's quarters, the dojo, the waterfall, meditating room, library, study, and his room. She was to stay out of his room. She could visit the study and library at any time she wished. Kagome was glad about that she had some major homework to catch up on. Last but not least was her room. Kagome was once again awed. Her room was white with a large queen sized four poster bed made from the finest red wood. The curtains on the bed were blood red velvet. The sheets were dark blue that sparkled like the night sky silk. The drapes the were in front of a sliding door were white and were barely see through. To her right was a door that opened to revile a large walk in closet with hakamas, haoris, kimonos, fighting kimonos, yakuta's, and just regular dresses.
On the left was a door opening to revile an indoor hot spring. In front of the bed was a vanity also made of red wood. The drawers held and assortment of hair ornaments, hair ties, and ribbons. As well as make up of every color. Kagome walked out the balcony doors to see that she faced the waterfall. "Wow this room is beautiful Lord Sesshoumaru." Kagome said. Sesshoumaru nodded "I must leave to meet the other lords now if you need anything a servant shall help you." Sesshoumaru said. Kagome nodded and Sesshoumaru left.
Kagome set down her back pack which she had retried during her last visit home. She dug out her text books and note books and headed towards the study.
Meanwhile in the library Sesshoumaru was meeting with the other lords. "Sorry about popping in uninvited Sesshoumaru but the problem with Naraku has grown as well as the demon in your lands. Naraku killed a quarter of my army last week." Lord of the south Lord Ashitaka said. "I am working on it that is why I have brought the miko Kagome to help. She is the only one who can bring sown the barrier of the demon and she also has a knowledge of Naraku." Sesshoumaru said
"Yes well we shall talk more of this later it's late we should retire." Lord Aoushi of the north said. "Yes let's." Lord Onimuyasha of the east said. Sesshoumaru nodded and got up. The lords walked by the study when they herd a growl come from the room. Curious the Lords decided to see who made the noise. They walked into the room to see Kagome behind the desk clutching the top of her head in frustration. Mumbling things with books and papers strewn about the place even on the surrounding floor.
"Okay if the formula for Pythagoreans theorem is a2 b2 c3 then all I have to do is square a leg then add it to the other and then find the square root of the hypotenuse how hard can that be. So all I have to do is. 24 squared is 526 plus 13 square is 169. So 526169 695 and 695's square root is 26.362852 hay that was simple." Kagome said as she continued solving her math equations. That is until someone spoke. "Hmm I guess the miko you brought is educated as well Sesshoumaru very good." Lord Onimuyasha said.
Kagome looked up from her work "Oh Lord Sesshoumaru did you need the study?" Kagome asked she then looked around her. "Um I guess I had more homework then I thought I'll clean it up." Kagome said setting to work putting her things away then. Kagome was done in a second with the help of her powers. "No I did not need the study Kagome we were only curious as to what had made a noise in here earlier." Sesshoumaru said. "Oh well I'll try to keep it down then good night." Kagome said. Leaving the room with her books floating behind her in tow.
"Good night Kagome." Sesshoumaru said. Turning to the other lords Sesshoumaru said good night to the other lords and went to bed.
The next mourning Kagome decided to train herself once again to keep her skills sharp so she dressed in a white hakama and magenta haori and grabbed her sword and headed out the door.
Sesshoumaru was sitting at the dinner table when a servant rushed in breathing hard. "My lord I can not seem to find Lady Kagome any where it seems as if she woke early this morning and left." He said. Sesshoumaru nodded just as the other lord's and there mates came in. "Sesshoumaru are you aware that the miko you have taken in is now occupying you dojo?" Lord Aoushi said. "Yes I am aware of it when my servant said she had left early in the morning. We shall go meet her after breakfast." Sesshoumaru said.
The other lords agreed and sat down to eat. It didn't take long so they headed down to the dojo just in time to see her rush out of the building. "Kagome where are you going." Sesshoumaru asked. "Um I sensed a jewel shard so I'm going after it it's not far." Kagome said. Sesshoumaru nodded and told the other lord to follow if they wished. The lords and ladies wanted to see how Kagome faired in a battle so they followed Kagome.
Kagome stopped in front of a human looking kitsune demon. "Ah so you're the infamous miko the reincarnation of the priestess Kikyou." He said. "What ever buddy listen I have a schedule to keep so if you would just hand the jewel over we can all just go home and not have a meaningless fight." Kagome said annoyed. "I don't think so prepare yourself little miko." He said.
Kagome sighed and just stood there. A second later the demon fell to the ground in a pool of his own blood. To a human it looked as if Kagome just stood and never moved and the demon somehow fell dead but the demons saw how she did it. Kagome did move but she moved as fast as light. She ran forward and hit him in the head, arms, legs, chest, and lower area. And than as fast as she went she appeared back into her spot.
Kagome walked over a retrieved the jewel from the bloodied mess. "I told him to just hand it over but no he had to get hurt. But no he had to go and call me little. They will never learn." Kagome said purifying the jewel with her touch. Kagome then noticed she had an audience.
Kagome looked over to see and inu demon couple, a wolf demon couple, and a hawk demon couple next to Sesshoumaru. "Oh um hi Lord Sesshoumaru who are they?" Kagome asked. "Kagome these are the Lords of the other lads and there mates. This is Lord Ashitaka of the South and his mate San." Sesshoumaru said pointing to the inu demon couple Kagome nodded at the couple as they did the same.
"The hawk couple you se are Lord of the Northern lands Aoushi his mate Misao and the wolf demon couple are Lord Onimuyasha and his mate Suzuki." Sesshoumaru said. The couple's and Kagome exchanged greetings. "Well um I'd love to chat but I have homework to do that's I have to turn in very soon so I go to go. I'll see you at the house if you could call it that." Kagome said rushing off to the castle to finish her homework.
The Lords and there mates (besides Sesshoumaru) Headed back to the castle to continue there discussion from the day before.
This time Kagome just set out her language arts book and a spiral notebook she had to do her journal report about Romeo and Juliet for Mr. Johnson. "Argh why do teachers seem to give out these stupid homework assignments?" Kagome wondered as her hand shot across the page writing her report. She was busy writing so she didn't notice the three females that walked into the doorway and surround her. That was until they spoke.
"Kagome what are you doing at Sesshoumaru's castle?" Lady San asked. Kagome looked up "I'm here because he needs my assistance to break a barrier of a demon's." Kagome said. "Oh so you don't have any feelings for him." Lady Misao asked. "No only as a friend oh no I know where you're going with this my friend have been down this road before no I'm going to the library good bye." Kagome said packing up her things and rushing out the door.
The Lady's followed her asking question after question. Kagome turned a corner she knew led to the library and ran down the hall way. She stopped only to open the door and flung it open and ran in closing it behind her and leaning against it breathing heavy dropping her books. The Lords that were occupying the room at the time stared at her questioningly. "What ever you do don't tell them I'm here." Kagome said picking up her books and disappearing into the maze of shelves.
Soon after the door was opened by the Ladies of the North, South, and East. "Did Kagome come here?" Lady Suzuki asked. The Lord figuring out why Kagome was running replied with a no and the Ladies went off in search of Kagome. Sesshoumaru clueless for once about something asked what was going on. "Well you know how women are they like to gossip so my guess is they bugged Kagome about having a more then platonic relation ship with you." Lord Aoushi said.
"Oh I get it no wonder she ran." Sesshoumaru said. "Yes that's why I ran now would one of you be so kind as to help me out of this fucking maze Sesshoumaru calls a library? Oh wait never mind I know what to do." Kagome said The Lords watched as Kagomes figure walked long the top of the bookshelves. "Damn Sesshoumaru why do you have to make a maze out of a library?" Kagome asked landing gracefully on the ground.
"I don't arrange my things the servants do that." Sesshoumaru said. "Yea whatever well thanks for getting me out of that situation I get enough of that from middle school girls." Kagome said. "You're village is very educated is it?" Lord Onimuyasha asked. "Of course you see in my time every child goes to school until they are around 18 then they could continue there schooling if they wish." Kagome said. "What do you mean your time?" Lord Aoushi asked.
Kagome then launched into an explanation of her time and the well and how she got here. "Well that is quite a story Kagome so why are you not with your friends?" Lord Aoushi asked. "Well I wanted to go off on my own to prove that I'm not just a cheep imitation that's all. Then I said I liked being on my own and he blew up and said we're now nemesis so whatever." Kagome said lying on her back. "Well I have to go so I'll see you later." Kagome said getting up. She gathered her books and cautiously looked outside in fear of being caught. Unfortunately she was caught just as the ladies rounded the corner.
"Kagome!" they called. "Oh shit!" Kagome yelled running in the opposite direction. The lords of the North, south, and east all laughed at this. "Poor Kagome she'll be lucky if she ever gets a place to study." Lord Onimuyasha said.
The meeting had ended and it was now nightfall and Sesshoumaru headed to his chambers. For lake of a better word he was surprised at what he saw. Kagome was lying on his bed with her book open floating above his bed. "Kagome what are you doing floating above my bed?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"I needed a place where I wouldn't be disturbed by the ladies of the lands and I came upon your room since it has some sort of barrier around it that keeps them out I decided to stay here and figuring this was your room I didn't want my smell on your bed." Kagome said turning the page of her book she didn't even look up to talk to him.
"What is that you're reading?" Sesshoumaru asked. "A murder mystery I love them there always so fascinating." Kagome said. Sesshoumaru walked over and took the book from mid air. "Hay I was reading that." Kagome said descending to the ground. "The Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes. What is so interesting?" Sesshoumaru asked. "It's fun to try and figure out who killed who. Also Sherlock Holmes can figure out who did what for an entire day by just looking at them." Kagome said.
"I see well you're going to have to leave seeing as I wish to retire." Sesshoumaru said. "Alright see you tomorrow." Kagome said. As soon as she got out the door her eyes widened in horror as she saw the other Ladies running toward her. "Damn you Sesshoumaru I'll get you for this." Kagome said running the opposite way of the girls. Sesshoumaru just chuckled so quietly you wouldn't be able to here it unless you were right next to his mouth.
