Summary of last time:
Kagome got what she came for in the market and found out that she will performing at a closing ceremony of a tournament. Sosuke followed her and then on the journey back Kagome fell asleep. So he carried her back while Sesshoumaru watched with jealously burning in his eyes.
Chapter 6: Suits
"Milady, it is time to rise." Just then the servant pulled the curtains open and the sun shine through the window waking the groggy miko. "Yah, yah. I learn from the other day. I am awake. See," she demonstrated by jumping out of the bed.
"It is best you get dress, tonight is going to be very eventful." The servant said dreamily. "What's happening tonight?" Kagome yawned out. The servant looked at her oddly. "How can you forget?" Kagome looked at her with a confused expression, clearly showing she has no idea what the servant is talking about. "The opening ceremony," the servant simply replied. "It starts as soon the sun is down."
Kagome did you morning routine and went down to catch a quick breakfast with the other performers. As soon she walked into the room, was greeted glares and one smile from Aya (the one performer that is willing to talk to her). When Kagome was done her breakfast, she got dressed to go outside. Today, she had to go home and retrieve much needed things for the opening ceremony and clothes for the registration. She hoped that Sosuke will not follow her or Sesshoumaru notice her absence, which will raise a lot more questions that she does not want to answer.
Walking down the hall to try to find the closest exit to the direction to her home, she was stopped by the devil himself. "Where are you sneaking out now?" The voice called down the hall. Kagome cringed and cursed to herself.
"Tsk, tsk, such a foul language coming from a lady." he said playfully.
"Expect the unexpected." Kagome turned to face him.
"Is that the way you should treat your guard?" Sosuke questioned.
"Yes, if your guard is annoying their ward." Kagome replied calmly.
Kagome then bolted before he can answer. She knew that she should have not done that, but a girl needs some entertainment once in awhile. As soon she round the corner she hid her scent and she slipped into the closest door.
Not wanting to waste anymore of her power, she released her scent and placed a barely undetectable barrier around the room that covers scents and noises from the outside. "Took you long enough." A voice called out from an adjoined room. Then the voice emerged and he walked out as naked the day he was born. "Well, where is my towel, servant." Kagome quickly turned not wanting to scar her life with the image. "HOW DARE YOU TURN YOUR BACK ON ME!? YOU ARE LUCKY I DID NOT PUNISHED YOU FOR FORGETTING THE TOWEL, BUT TWICE IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!" The enraged demon yelled. "GO GET IT NOW!!" The demon roared as Kagome bowed and ran not wanting to cause further turmoil.
'Ungrateful wrench.' The demon thought. The door opened again revealing another servant holding towels. "Here you are general." The servant bow and presented the towels. 'Mmm…looks like an imposter is in the castle.' The general thought as he dried and dress himself.
Kagome ran down the hall and passed a servant with towels. She turned so many corners she began to think she was lost, bit it's not like she knew where she was in the first place. Suddenly, the runway miko heard some mumblings behind her. "I know she is around here, somewhere." Kagome slipped into another door which turned out to be the servants' dressing room. That gave her a brilliant idea.
A servant walked down the hall and towards the main entrance, carrying a big basket. "What business do you have beyond the castle walls?" The guard asked. "I must retrieve certain items for the cook." The servant replied. "Proceed" and the guards opened the massive doors. 'Home free' the servant thought as she walked the opposite direction of the village.
Sesshoumaru was in his study when he started to hear commotion around the castle. He sent a servant to fetch Sosuke and Kagome knowing that it was probably them bickering. The door opened without knocking and a fuming Sosuke walked in.
"Where is the miko?" Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow not seeing Kagome beside him. "I lost her." Sosuke stood straight and look at the taiyoukai. "That is a first. So where may she be?" Sesshoumaru was visibly calm. "I am not sure, my lord." Sesshoumaru looked at him with no expression and went back to work indicting that the meeting was over and that he was disappointed in Sosuke.
A black strand curtained her face as she ran towards the well. She tucked the piece of hair behind her ear and continued calculating when she will be there. She shed her servant disguise long ago and dropped the basket that had her bag in it. It had been an hour of running at top speed and should be arriving at her destination very soon.
When Kagome reached the edge of Inuyasha forest she covered her scent and began walking towards the well. It was a short walk to the clearing. It was very silent and the sun was beating down on the wooden well. It seemed like a perfect trap, the forest covers any intruders and the sounds of nature make it harder to distinguish sounds. So Kagome approach the well cautiously.
He watched her from the shadows as she walked attentively to the well. He followed every step wondering what she will do next. All of sudden a flash of light blinded him and she was gone. He shadow down from his spot and walked towards the well, he sense a powerful magical presence. "Mm…interesting." The intruder thought as he turned to walk back to the direction Kagome came from.
