Karana reached the hot springs and slid out of her bloody kimono and gingerly stepped into the warm water. The water came up to her neck and rippled as she breathed. She gently leaned back and closed her eyes. 'Why did Sesshoumaru bring me back?' She asked herself. "Don't think about that!" She said to herself as she opened her eyes. "you're here to relax, not to ask why you were saved!". She sat up and sighed, "Why is it that when ever someone does something that helps me I ask why they did it?" She asked herself out loud, "I'm just so stupid.".
She got out of the water and dried herself off before stepping into a clean dry kimono. The cold air in the night sky made her shiver as she walked down back to the castle. She pulled the kimono sleeves tightly around her as she ran the rest of the way back. She walked through the main door and got into the castle. The warm air greeted her as she sighed in relief. She walked up to the room that she had been in before she went to the hot springs.
The room had the lingering odor of her blood, but the sheets and the bed were clean. Sesshoumaru was waiting for her sitting on a chair in the room. Karana looked at Sesshoumaru and sat down. "In conclusion to you earlier incident" Sesshoumaru said showing no emotion, "you will not be sleeping in here.". Karana looked up with a questioning look on her face. "Then where will I be sleeping?" She asked. "In my bed" Sesshoumaru said. Karana's cheeks turned a dark red as she heard this. "W-with you?" She asked trying not to laugh. "No" Sesshoumaru said coldly. "I will sleep in an other room.". Karana still trying to control herself nodded. Sesshoumaru got up and started to show her to his room that she would be sleeping in.
