Kami, Rin, and Sesshomaru arrived at the castle soon after. Surprisingly, it wasn't as far as Kami thought it would be-though she swore she had never seen anything as magnificent as this. It had humongous stone walls, and was just humongous in every way. Kami was surprised that one person completely owned such a castle. "Kami, this is Sesshomaru-sama's castle! I live here with him.. But so does Jaken, and I don't like him very much.." At this statement, Kami wondered who the hell Jaken was but soon shrugged that thought off when a small toad like man hobbled in front of Sesshomaru while formally greeting him. 'He seems very respectful towards Sesshomaru..' Kami observed the toad man's behavior as he spoke to Sesshomaru. "Sesshomaru-sama, everyone was wondering why you took more time than you usually do-err, that is, we already knew that you were going to be a while since you told us, but-" "Jaken. We have guests." Sesshomaru apathetically interrupted, not seeming to even care about Jaken's rambling. Jaken quieted and glanced over to Rin, Kami, then over to Sesshomaru but quickly snapped his head back at Kami, his eyes bulging. "Se-Sesshomaru sama! That's a human girl!" He gaped at Kami, 'Why did Lord Sesshomaru bring a HUMAN to the castle? Everyone knows that he hates humans!' Jaken thought.
"I'm well aware of that, Jaken, now treat Kami as a regular guest and seat her as you normally would for any other being." Kami secretly made a mental note not to have an argument with Sesshomaru, but she wasn't exactly planning to anyway.
Jaken hurried off and Kami watched him in amusement as he struggled to get someone or something as fast as he could. It seemed he was very loyal to Sesshomaru.
Soon a maid appeared at the doorway and Kami stared at her in bewilderment. 'She's the prettiest person I've ever seen! How could someone be that pretty!' Kami thought, still staring at the girl. She seemed to be in her early twenties, and had pointed ears, shimmering black hair, blue eyes, and two black furry ears protruding from the top of her head. Kami soon also noticed that she had a black cat tail that occasionally twitched from behind her. The pretty lady bowed after formally greeting Sesshomaru, then introduced herself. "Welcome, Kami, I will be your room maid during your stay at Lord Sesshomaru's castle. My name is Honeko (A/N: yeahhh I know I suck at creating Japanese names ;;) and please ring this bell if you need my assistance. Please follow me while I show you your room," with that, Honeko curtsied, handed Kami a bell, and walked towards one of the many halls in Sesshomaru's castle. Kami looked at Rin but Rin just smiled. "I'll see you at dinner, then, Kami!" and she waved as Kami turned back and followed Honeko. 'Why did Rin choose this human? There doesn't seem to be anything special about her.' Sesshomaru sighed as he walked towards his chambers.
Kami's eyes widened once she arrived at her room. Honeko seemed to be trying hard not to smile at Kami as she cupped one clawed hand over her mouth. "Are all of the rooms like this!" Kami asked, staring at the crimson walls and the elegant yet bold furnishings. "Yes, Sesshomaru-sama likes his guests to be comfortable during their stays," she said, one ear twitching. "… Why is Sesshomaru so rich? Is he some sort of shogun or something like that?" Honeko's eyes widened, her slit pupils dilating as she stared intensely at Kami. ".. He's the Lord of the western lands.." Kami almost gagged. She just went to the feudal era for a few hours and now she's in a lord's castle! 'I knew I shouldn't have gone down that well..' Kami thought, but was happy that she met Rin. 'At least Rin has a friend, now.' Honeko interrupted her thoughts while she stated "Sesshomaru must like you very much to have invited a human here. He usually detests humans.." "Ah, not really. It's just that I helped Rin and now Rin and I consider each other friends, so she asked Sesshomaru if I could stay.. So yes, he probably still hates me." Honeko's gaze flickered downwards, as if she were pondering over something. "Oh.. I was starting to think that.. Maybe Sesshomaru-sama found a mate.. But that would probably never happen since he's so apathetic about finding one." She sighed. "And he most likely wouldn't choose a human, since Inuyasha-" Honeko stuttered as she abruptly stopped herself from speaking. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so disrespectful.. Please forgive me," she bowed. Kami's thoughts flickered to Inuyasha. "Wait, did you say INUYASHA?" Kami asked. "Hai.. Inuyasha is Sesshomaru-sama's half brother. Though.. They both hate each other very much.." 'Shit,' Kami thought. 'If I go back to Kagome and if she finds out about this, she'll wonder why the hell I'm in one of Inuyasha's enemies' homes! What will I tell her then?' Honeko seemed to notice the troubled expression on Kami's face. "If you don't mind me asking, Kami.. How do you know of Inuyasha?" 'Great. What now?' "Er.. I've met him.. Before.. It's a really complicated story, though.." "Oh." Honeko's gazed lingered on Kami for a few moments but she soon snapped back to attention. "Ah time seems to have passed very quickly.. It was very nice speaking to you, Kami! Remember-ring the bell if you need anything." Honeko quietly closed the door of Kami's room but soon popped back in. "Oh, and dinner is at six o'clock.. I will be back then to show you the dining room." The door closed again. Kami slowly walked over to a table and gently picked up a silver mirror. "It's so delicate.." she murmured, studying the detailed designs. She looked in the mirror. However, instead of seeing her usual reflection, she saw a white fox gazing at her, its yellow eyes peering, almost glaring at her. She gasped and almost dropped the mirror but caught herself in time. "That was freaky.. Must have been the mirror.." She cautiously picked it up again and peered through the mirror. But instead of seeing that fox again, she saw herself, her expression laced with worry.
