Chapter Two: "Waking Up."
Kikyou woke up in a cozy king sized bed and noticed that it was surrounded by maidens, looking ready to serve her at any moment. "My lady, our great lord Sesshomaru is outside in the forest practicing his sword skills with master Kuske, here in a while, you and him shall dine, along with lady Rin and master Jaken. Lord Sesshomaru request you take a bath before dinner, sorry if we woke you to loudly with our voices." The brown headed maid bowed, as well as everyone else in the room. 'So that was the mumbling noise in my ear that I repeatdly heard.' She rubbed her head a bit. "I thought for sure that..." She paused when noticing every maid's eyes were on her, she felt kind of embarrassed by so much attention. "Please continue lady Kikyou." She softly spoke. 'These young women are kind.' She then rephrased it from WOMEN to DEMON WOMEN. "Well..." 'I can't tell them that I thought I was dead when Sesshomaru cut me with the sword earlier or they'll think I'm crazy.' "I thought for sure that ...I brought my arrows and bow with me." She finished, while watching the young lower class demon girl's chatter and then they looked back to her. "Ah yes you are the priestess of the east around the sacred forest are you not?" One maid spoke up. "Farin! We are to address Sesshomaru's guest properly." Another spoke. Farin's lip curled. Kikyou only put on a fake smile and acted as if it were alright.
Kikyou noticed there had to be at least ten maids assisting her. "Lady Kikyou, if I may insist...we should get you ready for the banquet tonight." Kikyou liked the brown headed girl the most. "Yes let's go." She got up and checked herself for sword marks, gashes, or even holes, but alas she looked better than when she first arrived at the castle. 'How very strange.' Kikyou was lead to the nearby hot springs where she was helped to be bathed, robed, perfumed, and pampered. When the experience was over she felt as if she were a queen. Farin held a nasty look towards Kikyou, and Kikyou had noticed that look several times during preparation for the dinner. 'What is wrong with that demon girl?' Kikyou thought amongst herself while turning to look in the mirror. She looked splendid. Her regular plain black kimono was replaced with a white kimono laced in imprinted ivory colored flowers. 'This must of cost a fortune to wear.' She loved the white matching sandals too. "You look wonderful lady Kikyou." Everyone except for Farin agreed. "Thank you all." She bowed her head, then raised it looking towards the brown headed girl's direction. "What is your name?" She asked, after placing a hand on her shoulder. "My name is Sakura." "Sakura, you will find great love, I sense it." Then she walked ahead of the maids. "Where's the dining hall?" "Down the stairs and to the right my lady." An old nice woman said. "Thank you all." She walked slowly, examining the pictures of demon men that resembled Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. 'These must be their ancestors.' She looked around and soon met the stairs right in front of her.
Sesshomaru was already at the table, nicely dressed in his usual white, and red clothes. He would always come in at the dinner table a little early, to just reminisce in his mind about the times when his mother was alive and she would bring in the food she prepared.(( 'Honey here's your food, and here you go Sesshomaru...')) He tilted his head so that he was laying it on the table with his arms folded underneath his head. (('Sesshomaru, you know that milk makes strong bones, and good claws, and the better claws you have, the better off you are.')) His mind was ringing with thoughts of his mother and father. He closed his eyes for what seemed a second. "Sesshomaru." His mind was thinking of his mother, saying his name that softly. "Sesshomaru." The voice was more stern, but still soft. Suddenly he felt someone shaking his right arm, he looked up and seen Kikyou. 'She's wearing the outfit I picked out of my mother's closet.' He stared up and down at the now nervous priestess, but when he seen that she was nervous he quit looking. "I take it you like the dress." He said, while standing to pull out her chair right next to himself. She blushed, she felt so pampered and high classed, this was surely against some kind of law. "Yes, thank you for letting me borrow it." He nodded in response. "Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin squealed while taking a seat next to him on his left. Jaken came in huffing and puffing for air. "Rin...you...are...despicable!" He then noticed Sesshomaru's hateful expression fixed on him. The food was brought in and Kikyou prayed over hers and Rin's.. ...Jaken and Sesshomaru didn't feel the need to have theirs prayed over. "Let us eat."
Farin watched them as she passed by with the broom in hand. 'Don't worry lord Sesshomaru, I will save you from that wench of a miko.'
Naraku held the shikon jewel in his hand, 'This time I will kill that miko woman, and the stupid hanyou boyfriend of hers as well!' He glared at the object. Just then Lady Midoriko (The first one that originally created the jewel) walked in on him and killed him instantly with her bow and arrow. 'How dare him, and how dare this reincarnation of me come and try to join in a relationship with a hanyou demon. How dare her to death.' Midoriko flowed her way out walking with her womanly body, she had come back from the dead for one reason and one reason only, and that was to kill Kikyou before she tarnished the miko name forever, by throwing herself in with a demon hanyou. Little did Midoriko know, that now Kikyou was staying with the most powerful demons of all, the youkai demons. Naraku laid dead in his own blood, but then his life came back in him, since Onigumo was forever cursed by selling his soul and body to the demons of hell. He stood up and watched as his wound healed quickly, he squinted his eyes. 'How could I die so quickly to that ...beau-----harmless, foolish miko creature.' He stormed off to find her, while dispatching a demon woman from his body. "Track Kikyou down, she's in the west at Sesshomaru's castle." "Yes master." The woman said.
Sesshomaru sipped on his tea. "May I be excused lord Sess?" Rin chirped. He looked down at her plate. 'Hmm...she didn't eat her carrots.' He thought about it for a moment. "Eat one more bit and then you can go." He looked over at Jaken. "You can go to." "Thank you my lord." He squeaked annoyingly. Sesshomaru immediately turned his attention back to the beauty at the table that was right next to him. She knew he was staring, but was to busy chewing and eating up all her food. 'MmMM...good food...bad Sesshomaru.' She frowned when she noticed he was still looking at her, as if to gain her undivided attention. She looked up and he turned back to eating his food. "Did you have something you wanted to tell me lord Sess?" She smirked, knowing that Rin was probably the only one allowed to say that to him. "No not really Lady Kik." He matched her smirk with a smirk of his own. They stayed that way, looking at each other for quite a while just to see what one would say first, unfortunately it turned into a serious staring contest until someone burst into the room. "Master Sesshomaru, some young lower classed demon girl is at the door begging to serve as a maiden inside the castle walls, she claims she has just lost her family to a nearby neighboring lord...what should we tell the woman lord?" 'Hmmm...lost her family to a nearby neighborin lord...' "Let her in and let the maidens of this castle show her the ropes, and get back to your posts."
The young lower classed demon girl stared at the long doors of an apparently wealthy and strong demon youkai lord's castle. She then noticed the guards were coming back. "The lord has gracefully considered your plea. Welcome to the Western Castle." They escorted her into the massive large place, she awed over the marble floors. 'What a beautiful place.'
