Sesshomaru had to carry her the rest of the way there. 'Wench. She's making my life difficult! It is already difficult to begin with anyways….' 'You love her.' His conscience was saying things he thought he could never feel. 'Who the hell are you?' 'Why, I'm shocked. You don't even know me, your own conscience.' 'My, CONSCIENCE?' 'Hai. You do love her. That girl, Kagome.' 'I don't think about love. I'm emotionless remember? If you're my conscience, you should know a lot about me.' Sesshomaru fought with his conscience until he was really angry. He dropped Kagome on Aun when he met up with Jaken and Rin. He then used his demon speed to try and find something to kill to work off his anger. 'Of all people, Damn. I take after my father now! He was weak. He died because he didn't listen. He fought Ryoukotsusei, ended up wounded, battled a half-breed, and died trying to protect Inuyasha's bitch of a mother. He burned to death. I can't let that happen to me.' He then calmed down when he came at the gates of his castle.
"Nhn. Where am I? Huh?" Kagome was totally clueless where she was. She was on a very beautiful bed that could fit at least 3 or 4 of her. There was a wardrobe in front of her made of oak wood. And at her left, was a balcony that could see the whole garden. She decided to look out there. What she found was amazing. She never seen something as beautiful as this. "Oh, oh my God! It is so pretty! WOW!" Kagome was overwhelmed. "I could live like this FOREVER!"
"You might." Sesshomaru stepped in and advanced toward the balcony. "What do you mean? Where the hell am I? TELL ME!" Kagome was crying now. Not because she was mad, she was upset and happy at the same time. Upset because Sesshomaru kidnapped her, and happy that she saw the most beautiful thing in the world. "Tell me Sesshomaru. Why and where?" She looked hurt. She had wounds on her legs and arms and one on her face because Sesshomaru let her struggle in the branches.
"You're at my place. You are to remain here until Inuyasha decides to get you. Did I answer all of your questions? If you have more, go ask a servant or someone around here. I put up seals so that you can't get out. Don't even try." Sesshomaru spoke honestly this time. He didn't sound as if he was serious or sarcastic. He spoke as if he were proud. "Umm..Yah…you answered all of my questions. Arigato, Sesshomaru." Kagome wiped her tears out of her face. Sesshomaru turned to the door when he remembered some important rules to go over. "Wench. Number 1 rule in this castle is to call me by my title. Respect me and others around you. Number 2, don't break anything. You must have heard the rule if you break, you buy. Number 3, you are a guest. A servant will come by your room tomorrow to take you on a tour. I don't want you to be wandering around. Number 4, you can't go in specific places I will mention tonight. And lastly, number 5, you have to keep Rin company if I'm busy or Jaken can't come. Good night."
Kagome was stunned! All of those rules she had to memorize! 'sigh It is going to take a while to get used to this, or I don't even have to get used to it. Inuyasha will come for me. I just know it.' She kept her hopes up for him to rescue her. She looked up at the sky. It started to sunset. She thought of Sesshomaru's words, 'By sundown. If you don't come, she or you will die.' Then she just thought of earlier when he was in her room. 'You might.' What the hell did he mean by MIGHT! She wanted to know. She crept out of her room, and came down to a long, dark, hall way.
The hall was a bit dark for her to see. She had to lean on the wall for support so that she could feel the way she was going. She saw a small torch at the end of the hall. Kagome thought it would be alright for her to borrow it and return it later. She wanted to explore! The castle was HUGE! Kagome didn't have any words to describe it so, she decided to look around. She took the torch and found her way across two double doors. The handles were a bit dusty and looked like that it needed cleaning. Right before she was about to open it, Sesshomaru caught her hand.
"Don't go in there. It is a private quarter. Why are you wandering around anyways?" Sesshomaru stared at her in a way that made chills go down her spine.
"Uh…Umm…I was getting hungry so...DO you MIND letting go of my arm first?" Kagome was calm at first but then she noticed that her had was tuning to a pale color. 'Hmph' was all he said. He let go of her arm and told her to follow him. She stared at his back. Her eyes couldn't help but trail down his body. She blushed at the thoughts she was having. 'Mind out of the gutter. Mind out of the gutter.' Sesshomaru knew she was staring at him and tried to ignore it at first, but failed. (A/N: NO DURR! He gets annoyed easily!)
"Do you mind? Or are you going to keep staring?" Sesshomaru glared at her. He hate it when someone was 'checking' him out. "Gomen. I was just-just- well. You don't have to be rude!" Kagome spat at him. "Keh. You're the one being rude. Didn't your parents ever teach you to not stare at someone? Especially people older than you?" Sesshomaru started getting agitated. "HUH? People OLDER than me?giggles giggles So you're an old man?" Kagome started laughing so hard, she didn't know that Sesshomaru was gone. "Huh? Sesshomaru? Where are you? SESSHOMARU!" She screamed as loud as she could.
"GOD DAMN WOMAN! Do you HAVE TO SCREAM! I'm right HERE. God." Sesshomaru rolled his eyes. He hated having to escort this bitch around. 'Why ME!' He complained in his thoughts. 'Out of ALL people, it has to be HER he LOVES!' Then someone or something broke his thoughts. 'Oh, give up will ya? You LOVE her. Can't you accept that, poor sport? C'mon. You know that well enough yourself.' 'Who the hell are you!' 'Oh, I'm shocked. You don't even know your own conscience. I thought I ran this over with you already.' His conscience kept on annoying him. He hated to be annoyed, especially with this THING that is sticking to his HEAD!
"Umm…Sesshomaru? Earth to Sesshomaru? Are you HOME?" Kagome was waving at his face. She could tell he was in DEEPthought, until his eyes had a hint of red in it. She backed off a bit. Sesshomaru came through just in time. "Hmm? Oh. What do you want?" Sesshomaru spat in her face. 'She saved me from transforming. I have to repay her next time to UPHOLD MY HONOR' (A/N: Not THAT! He can't admit it yet ok! OK, getting back with the story.)
"Umm…I'm still hungry. Where is the kitchen? I'll just go there myself." Kagome pleaded so that she didn't have to deal with his deep in thought and that she wouldn't die so soon. "I'll just take you there. It is pretty close. Come." Sesshomaru led her the rest of the way down the hall, past 12 doors, and some meeting places before she came to a big door, with the smell of food leaking out of it. "Hmmmm! It smells GOOD!" Kagome was delighted. She didn't have any lunch because of all that trouble with Sesshomaru. "Are you going to stand there, or do you want to eat?" Sesshomaru was through with her. He needed a good sleep tonight. "Oh, hai. I'm coming!" Kagome said as she ran off into the dining room.
