zioncross: Okay well Sesshomaru should be in character now, as for Miroku being…Miroku, well let's just see what happened. (He did, but it won't be mentioned in this chapter but perhaps the next one.)

Daughter of the East Chapter 5 Sakoya's Home

The next morning Sakoya woke up with a start to find everyone already up and ready to go. "Sorry I slept so long you could have woken me up when ever you wanted." She said as she stood and headed to the stream.

Kagome followed her and sat down next to the stream while Sakoya washed her face and finished waking herself up. "I think we should stick together while you have no memory."

"Why?" Sakoya asked as she looked up.

"Well I'm not sure but I just feel like you should, like everything would be safer if we stuck together." Kagome answered hesitantly.

"Okay well I don't see a problem with it." Sakoya replied as she stood up and headed back towards the clearing.

"Well are we finally ready to go?" Inuyasha asked when the girls got back.

"Yes, we are." Sakoya answered trying to sound unemotional. Inuyasha nodded and turned away but after a few seconds he turned back to them.

"Where are we going?" he asked.

"To Sakoya's home. Maybe we'll find something there that will help us." Kagome said as she put Shippo in her bicycle basket. Sango picked up her boomerang and walked up beside her.

"I know where it is, follow me." Sesshomaru said as he landed on the ground in front of them.

"Where were you?" Inuyasha asked suspiciously.

"None of your concern I am certain." He replied. Inuyasha growled but stopped when he caught Kagome glaring at him.

Sakoya walked up to Sesshomaru, "How far away is it?"

"Far enough let's go." He said then he turned around and strode into the darkness of the forest. The group glanced around and then quickly followed him away.

Two days later and several awkward and stressful moments later they arrived in front of a large crystal clear fountain.

"What's a fountain doing in the middle of nowhere?" Sango asked. Sakoya walked forward as a feeling of déjà vu overcame her.

"I know this…I've been here…I remember!" she cried excitedly as a fraction of her memory returned. She ran over to the fountain and cupped some of the water into her hands.

"Open." she whispered as she tossed the water over the fountain and stepped back. The ground beneath them began to rumble and Kagome fell on her butt rather unceremoniously.

They watched in silence as the fountain rose into the air. Beneath it a large castle was growing up out of the ground, they watched in silent amazement as the castle grew to the stars or so it seemed from where they stood.

"Welcome to Kikari Castle." Sakoya whispered as she moved forward and ran a finger along the handle of the large white door. It opened slowly and Sakoya led them inside. She stopped and looked around her face becoming pale and confused.

"I don't…I can't…I don't remember this…or anything else." she muttered sadly. She had been so sure that the first burst of remembrance had been the beginning of the return of all her memories but it didn't seem to be the case.

Sesshomaru remained silent but he strode forward and down a long hall on the right. "Sesshomaru where are you leading us?" Inuyasha demanded. He had an extreme dislike of places he knew nothing of and this was such a place.

"Remain silent and you shall see." he said his voice cold and collected as he turned left through a door and stopped. Sakoya entered behind him and moved forward, he had taken them to a very large library.

"This is where you keep your records." Sesshomaru said watching her look around.

"My…my records…of what?" she asked looking confused again.

"Records of your past and records of your people." he replied distantly. Sakoya looked away, his cold shoulder act made her very uncomfortable.

She moved to a low shelf and pulled off a book that was covered in a thick fine dust. She blew off the cover and choked on the issued cloud of dust.

She set it on a table and opened it, "That is the record of your first four years as Guardian." Sesshomaru mentioned from by the door where he stood.

Sakoya sat down and opened the book to the first page. Silence reigned as she read her life's tale.
