Hi again! This is so much fun to write! I'm writing these chapters at the same time so no reviews! Sorry! But now we get to the chapter sooner! YAY!

Disclaimer: You all know that I don't own him, right?

RECAP:

"Why do you not surrender? You will soon pass out." he called.

"I still have strength to fight! And I will never surrender to the likes of you!" she called back.

"Very well. I shall speed this up. One more gash…" he muttered to himself.

He charged. She was ready. He sped up and dashed to the side without a gash. She had been expecting this. She used all her strength and agility to block him. But it was over. She finally couldn't take it. She fainted.

On with the show!

Sango awoke in a beautiful room. There was a balcony and paintings of demons covered the sky-blue walls. It had white carpet and a very comfortable dark blue bed. This bed was so comfortable that Sango just wanted to stay in it and sleep. Then she remembered where she was and why she was here.

She had lost the battle. She was probably in the demon lord's palace and she had no way to let her friends know where she was. She tried to get up but the gash in her side was painful. It was then that she noticed she was bandaged and by the high quality it seemed like it was by a professional. At that moment, somebody walked into the room. A tall, handsome, silver-haired somebody.

"Ahhhh, you are awake." he said.

"Where am I?" she asked.

"You are in my castle."

"I need to tell my friends where I am."

"They will find out soon enough. I shall send a messenger to tell them."

"Ok. So when do I start work?"

"When you are healed."

"What do I do until then?"

"That is for you to decide but for now I think you should rest. It is painful to move, is it not?"

"Yes. But I am still not content with lying here all day. Isn't there anything I can do?"

"I suppose you could read a book if you know how. If not you seem to be enjoying constantly asking me questions."

"Sorry. Well I can't read much. Maybe a simpler book would be good."

"Alright. Someone will be in soon with some options."

"Ok."

With that, he left. While she waited for her reading options, she thought about the conversation she had just had with the lord.

'That was oddly kind for a cold-hearted yokai such as him. I wonder what he's up to. I wonder how I will survive six months without my friends. Why did I make that silly bet?! Did I really have a chance of winning? NO. Maybe you just wanted to spend time with him. AHHHH! BAD VOICE! GET OUT OF MY HEAD! Oh no. I'm starting to talk to myself. I'm going insane. But I have to admit, Sesshomaru is pretty hot. AHHHH! IT'S THE BAD VOICE! Good, here come the books.' This put an end to her thoughts.

"Hello. Here are some books for you to choose from." the girl stated. "I have heard that you shall be joining us when you are healed."

"Yes. I suppose I will. So what is your name?" Sango asked.

"I am Shizuka. And I believe you are Sango."

"Yes, that is correct. Ummmm… Would you mind staying here so we can talk? The truth is I don't really like to read."

"I wouldn't mind."

"Ok. So how did you come to work for Sesshomaru?"

"He came to our village. I was offered as one of the sacrifices. Instead, he took us all to his castle and told us we were to be his servants. We were very relieved. I have already heard why you are here. Though I can't understand why the lord has presented you with such a magnificent room."

"Don't all of you have rooms like this?"

"No. This is the best guest room there is. You should be honored."

"Right. That is odd. So what do you do for fun around here?"

"We do not have time for fun. The lord keeps us hard at work."

"Well, I can't wait to start…"

"I better get back to work. If you just rest you'll probably be up in no time. At least you will have something to do."

"Ok. I'll see you later then. Bye."

"Good bye."
