Chapter Two

Kagome sipped her hot coffee sliding her feet over the stubble carpet sending tingling sensations throughout her being. She laughed as she spilled a little bit of coffee onto her bare legs. She had decided to wear shorts today because of the hot weather. She had her headphones on listening to Michel Bolton her all time favorite American singers. She fanned herself with her file folder and stood up dancing using a pencil as a microphone.

"Steel bars wrapped all around me! I've been their prisoner since the day they found me! I'll be here forever 'til the end of time! STEEL BARS WRAPPED AROUND THIS HEART OF MINE!" she sung/screeched the last part of the song and tripped over her headphones cord falling onto the stubble carpet that was dyed a hideous beige. A deep laughing brought her gaze to the eyes of the fiercely handsome warden with his deep purple eyes and short black hair with a short rat-tail growing in the back. He had a short proud nose and determined jaw.

Kagome felt herself blush, and then realized quite suddenly he wasn't wearing any pants! Only a pair of red-hot chili pepper boxers. She turned five shaded redder then before. She jumped up and stood as if her feet were a blaze.

He chuckled. " At ease captain." he told her strolling over to the soda machine and punching the button for a SURGE. Kagome giggled he seemed more like the Mountain dew type to her. He turned to her. " I'll be here every afternoon around twelve, right on the nose to get a soda. Then you can go to lunch." He smiled to her. Kagome followed him to the door he winked then whispered. "Watch." he swayed his hips walking down the hall. Jakutso sang out.

"Woo! Baby! Take IT OFF! AHHHHH!" he shrieked as Miroku winked to him. The female security guard at the end glared jealously as Miroku got close enough to the screaming fan to stuff a twenty into his boxer hem. Kagome just giggled watching the two. The female security guard stalked down to stand where Kagome was.

" Hi! My name is Sango Hirikusto. I'm the second story guard. I don't think we've had the chance to be properly introduced." she offered her hand smiling warmly.

"My name is Kagome Higurashie." she remembered in America they say their first names first and their last name last, she had already had trouble with this. " I'm the new therapist."

Sango smiled at her again." Ah so you've met these ones. You know I don't think any of them are bad at all, not one in the whole lot."

Kagome knew her mouth probably hung wide open. " Even after they've all done something so bad?"

Sango looked at something far off." They all have their reasons, that's why they were given such good accommodations, didn't you realize that?"

Kagome now took the time to survey her surroundings. All of the cells had carpet and a soft feathery mattress occupied the beds that usually were chained to the wall. And they were given windows they could open but they had bars in front of them.

Kagome and Sango walked into the Therapy room to talk.

"The person I feel sorry for most is Sesshomaru and Kanna." she told her taking a bite of her pina and alphapha sandwich. Kagome cringed and slurped her instant ramen happy she wasn't eating the vegetarian dish.

"Why?" Kagome asked.

Sango took another bite. " Some other time, my lunch break is almost over." she tapped her wristwatch.

"I didn't know you were a vegetarian Sango." Kagome said what she thought as Sango stuff the rest of the sandwich in her mouth.

" Yeah. My father worked at a meat packing plant, if you saw some of the stuff I saw, you'd be a vegetarian too." Sango laughed as she watched Kagome shutter.

"Tomorrow I'll tell you the whole story about Sesshomaru. You'd be surprised what you fine out just sitting and listening." with that she took out her carrot and nibbled it like Bugs Bunny and walked out smiling.

v Next chappie, we meet some OC of mine.

Happy Trails.
