Chapter #2…
As he continued to think the castle came into view. Kagome couldn't believe her eyes, his home was magnificent, and does he really live here? She thought to herself. When they reached the giant iron gates a servant was there waiting for them, an elderly fox demon who stood a little shorter than Kagome, she has auburn colored hair that comes to about the middle of her back and she wears an emerald green sleeveless kimono made of silk. "Welcome back milord…oh my goodness!" she shouted, opening the gate for them, "what happened? This girl needs help now, follow me."
On their way up to the castle Sesshomaru explained to Mia what happened. Everything that he said was followed by a gasp from the old woman. The group entered the castle through a large set of double doors. They all walked down a long hallway, up a flight of stairs that led to the east wing where the guest bedrooms were, which were hardly ever used. Mia led them into the second door on the right. The room they entered was entirely made up of different shades of red. There was a window on the far wall, to the right was a canopy bed and to the left was a wardrobe. The floor of the bedroom was also carpeted and it was lit by one chandelier in the center of the ceiling. "Quick, put her over there on the bed!" she ordered to Sessy who did as he was told for once. If they didn't act fast she wasn't going to make it and then there would be no saving her. Mia got her things together and began bandaging up the girls wounds, a little bit of fox magic and an hour later she was finished.
The fox left the room her bag of medical supplies tucked under one arm. "You may go see her now milord." She said bowing to him. Sesshomaru once again entered the room and saw Kagome sitting there on the bed propped up by a few pillows. She was now wearing a sky blue kimono and a slight smile on her face. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips, he couldn't help it. He walked over to the bed and sat down facing her, "you feeling better?" he asked in his usual I-don't-really-care voice. "Yes," she replied, her smile fading. He decided to change the subject, "So, what happened earlier, why wasn't Inu Yasha with you?" Kagome tilted her head down, staring at her hands in her lap.
She explained all about Kikyo, everything that happened and how this wasn't the first time. Kagome rested her head in the palms of her hands as the tears flowed once more, she was sobbing now as she told of how Inu Yasha claims that it isn't a big deal. Somehow he felt a connection with this girl and felt a need to comfort her…Sesshomaru reached out and pulled her into his arms. His head rested on top of hers as she continued to sob in his arms. How could his little brother be so stupid, choosing the dead over the living he wondered to himself. Sessy knew then that he had to make her his, Inu Yasha will regret ever leaving her. Time seemed to stand still as they sat there in each others arms, somehow she felt safe with him. Just then as Kagome began to relax Rin came running into the room, Jaken wasn't to far behind, "you stupid little human!" he shouted waving his staff.
Seeshomaru and Kagome quickly separated, turning away from one another. "Fluffy-sama!" the little girl screamed running to him and climbing onto his lap. Kagome grinned at the name she had given the great lord of the western lands. "What is it Rin?" he asked setting her back onto the floor. "I came to see the lady everyone is talking about," she said looking at Kagome, "my name is Rin, what's yours?" She had to be the cutest little girl she had ever seen, standing there staring with curiosity through chocolate brown orbs. The young miko motioned for Rin to join her on the bed. Rin squealed with delight as she climbed onto the bed once again and sat facing Kagome, "my name is Kagome," the priestess finally answered.
"That's such a pretty name," the girl yelled, hurting the taiyoukai's sensitive ears, "isn't that a pretty name milord?" Sesshomaru looked down at the floor, folding his arms across his chest he replied, "it is." Kagome was confused now, why was he keeping a human in his home and why was Seeshomaru being so nice to her. He hates humans, she pondered to herself, doesn't he?
