Chapter 6: Kouga-kun and Sesshomaru's Property

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Kagome awoke with the sun on her face. She grinned. It felt like today would be a nice day. Sesshomaru wasn't going to be around for two days so she could be at ease. She sat up and then stretched, closing her eyes. Suddenly Kyoko came in.

"Good Morning Kagome-sama… I mean Kagome! It's time to wake up!

Kagome opened an eye. "Hunh?" Kyoko smiled.

"It's 7am! Time to get up! Normally, we, the servants, wake up at 6am. But Sesshomaru-sama asked that you only be waked at 7. Rin wakes up at 8 and breakfast is at 8:30. Giving me time to help you dress for the morning then giving you time to dress Rin. Now let's get started!"

Kagome raised an eyebrow as Kyoko gently dragged her out of bed and into a warm bath already prepared. Kagome sighed as she got in. It felt nice. Kyoko knocked at the door.

"Which kimono will you be wearing?"

Kagome thought for a moment. "Is the black one clean?" Kagome laughed at herself for making such a stupid question, she had worn it yesterday.

"Yes, do you wish to wear it?"

Kagome's eyes opened wide. How did they clean it? Overnight obviously, or during dinner. Probably during dinner. Amazing service!

"Uh, yes, I think for the days I will wear the pink kimono with red embroidery and the simple black Kimono. I will save the others for special occasions and for dinner." Kagome giggled to herself a bit. Wearing a fancy kimono to dinner seems wasted if you spill stuff on it. But she guessed that Sesshomaru presumed if Kagome were sophisticated to even pull off the kimono thing in the first place, she wouldn't spill anything on it. Kagome laughed again, not the greatest thinking, as she could be clumsy. Ironically Kagome dropped the soap at the end of her philosophy. "Damn." Kagome stated simply.

Soon Kagome got out of the tub, drying herself off before letting Kyoko to come in and help her with her Kimono, not to mention to give it to her. Once they finished Kagome turned to Kyoko and smiled, they could talk for half an hour because Rin only woke in half an hour. Kagome walked over to her bed and sat down, motioning to Kyoko to join her. Once Kyoko sat Kagome started a conversation.

"So Kyoko, tell me everything about you… then I'll tell you everything about me! Fair?"

Kyoko nodded. "Sure! Ok, I'm Kyoko, the wolf demon. I am 16 years of age and have worked for Lord Sesshomaru since I was born as my mother, Etsu, had me while she worked here. My mother has worked here for 20 years. My father was a leader of a village but died soon after I was born in a battle with a man named Naraku… I'm done… now you?"

Kagome smiled. "I'm Kagome, the supposedly Neko demon-slash-Miko-slash-human. I am also 16 years of age. I actually come from the future though I know it's hard to believe…" And that's how Kagome started. 27 minuets later Kagome finished with "And that's my life." Kyoko's eyes widened with wonder and surprise. Kagome was such a weird girl, but very interesting.

"Wow Kagome! I wish I could be you." Kagome sighed slightly and placed a hand on her new friends shoulder.

"No, no you don't. It's all very frustrating. Inu-Yasha, turning into a demon, having to leave my family. Especially the Inu-Yasha thing. Sometimes I miss him but I always remember what he did."

"I don't understand because I haven't been through it but I feel how much sorrow you are in. I understand your feelings of loss. I had lost everything when I decided to stay and work for Sesshomaru, but I haven't regretted it a minuet. I'm sure you'll get used to it all soon. Now it's time for you to wake Rin!"

Kagome got up and headed over to the girls room where the girl was finally stirring. She must have become accustom to waking up at 8 so she woke up automatically, which Kagome was happy for. Just imagining herself trying to wake Rin up kind of freaked Kagome out because she didn't know if Rin was a heavy sleeper or not.

"Time to wake up sleepy head!"

Rin yawned and rubbed her eyes sleepily. Smiling.

"So your not a dream?"

"No silly!" Kagome laughed as she head into the bathroom and drew a warm bath. She then went into the bedroom once again to carry the sleepy girl in her arms to the tub. Kagome took Rin's nightgown off and placed her in the tub. Rin soon woke up and started to play in the tub, Kagome laughing as the girl splashed about.

"Ready to get out now?" Rin nodded so Kagome got Rin out and dried her before fitting Rin into a fresh clean yellow kimono. Kagome then tied her hair up in a ponytail. Rin looked so cute Kagome couldn't help but grin. "Ready for breakfast?" Rin smiled also.

"Yes Kagome-sama! Yes please!"

"'Common then!" Kagome said as she grabbed Rin's hand, guiding the girl down the hall, following Kyoko once more. Finally they reached the room Kagome remembered as the dining hall. Kagome pulled out a chair for Rin, helping her up before pulling out a chair for herself. Rin had cereal and Kagome requested some too. She guessed if Sesshomaru was away she could get away with eating normal food. Kagome sighed with content as she finished her last spoonful, leaning back into her chair. Rin smiled as she too finished her last spoonful.

"What do we do now Kagome-sama?"

"I don't know. Maybe I could teach you how to spell some more?"

"Ok. Where's Sesshomaru-sama?"

"Oh, he told me last night that he'd be away for the day and a bit of tommorow, you'll be fine with me I hope."

"Ok, this is going to be fun!"

"Yes, but we must feed Suzu first. Remember you said you wanted to help take care of her?"

"Ok."

Sesshomaru looked out on the land. He was riding Ah and Un. He had so much land to take care of it always took two days to finally inspect it all. It was annoying and time consuming but it had to be done. It was like his land had to perfect so he could seem to be the best Lord or them all. Sesshomaru hardly did anything as it was Jaken who normally looked out for problems, and if there was a problem Jaken would alert Sesshomaru and then Sesshomaru would take care of that problem. That's how it was always was. Once every two weeks. It bore Sesshomaru to death. At the moment Sesshomaru was thinking about Kagome.

'Why did I care if Kagome was nervous yesterday. I could have just as well exploited her weakness. But no, I had to calm her. Why? Right, I need her trust. Rin gets along with Kagome so easily and Kagome is just right for the job of being Rin's warden. If she is too un-secure she may leave.'

Soon Sesshomaru felt a little hand on his arm.

"Lord Sesshomaru! Look down there!"

Sesshomaru carefully looked down to where a strange looking wolf demon stood, sniffing the air. Sesshomaru landed Ah and Un and went up to the wolf demon.

"What, are you doing here?"

"It's a free country aint it?"

"Yes, but I am curious, as to why you are here. Considering of course this part of the Western lands is barren and hardly anyone dares touch it's soil except myself."

"Or my friend." Kouga responded all cocky.

"And that would be…"

"Why should I tell you?" Kouga was being far from polite. Sesshomaru had had enough, he grabbed the wolf demon and pinned him to a dead tree by the neck.

"You better learn your place wolf, or your throat is mine. Now tell me who this friend is. Maybe they should pay also for you ignorance?"

"Actually it's two people, one not really my friend but more like a enemy."

"You are not answering my question wolf." Sesshomaru tightened his grip on Kouga's throat.

"Ka… Kagome and Inu-Yasha the half demon." Kouga spitted out, clearly having trouble. Finally Sesshomaru loosened his grip and dropped Kouga to the ground.

"How do you know Kagome and Inu-Yasha?"

Kouga rubbed his neck pitifully.

"Kagome is a very good friend of mine. And Inu-Yasha is a stupid mutt who follows her."

Sesshomaru smiled slightly.

"Not anymore…"

Kouga's eyes widened. Sesshomaru laughed inside. It was clear the stupid wolf wanted Kagome more then a friend. A certain lust in his eyes when he spoke her name.

"What did you do with her?" Kouga snarled.

"Nothing, but she no longer follows my stupid Hanyou brothers orders. She answers to mine."

"You, you… what the hell?"

"I don't care about you, just as long as you leave immediately, and never touch Kagome ever." Sesshomaru added the last part with a bit of protectiveness. Even Sesshomaru knew that even if Sesshomaru didn't want her, she at least deserved much better then some stupid wolf demon that was so low in rank. And plus, he couldn't have one of his servants running off. Sesshomaru turned around and got back on Ah and Un. Going back to what he was doing, nothing. Kouga growled. Kagome would never serve such a stupid man.

Once Kagome and Rin were done learning for the day Kagome joyfully brought Rin and Suzu out so Rin could show her the grounds. They were beautiful. Kagome soon stopped by the gates where there was a pretty garden full of flowers. Kagome brought Suzu and Rin over to sit on a rock. They sat happily enjoying the moment until a voice could be heard.

"KAGOME! WHERE ARE YOU? KAGOME!"

Kagome got up and saw Kouga coming. Rin looked at Kagome with a concerned look.

"Do you know that man?"

"Yes Rin-Chan, I do!" Rin smiled. Kagome then turned back to Kouga who was coming. "Kouga! I'm here!" Kouga smiled happily when he spotted Kagome and jumped over the fence with ease and grabbed Kagome. Pulling her into his arms he jumped once more high in the air, the sunlight sparkled in Kagome's eyes. When they finally got on ground Kouga stepped back and started to check Kagome out. Kagome, who had suddenly become VERY modest, felt like running. But didn't.

"Wow Kagome! You look great! I went looking for you soon after you left. Why are you here?"

"I… I work here. I'm a maid." Rin stared at Kagome with awe. Why did she just lie? Kagome stared at Rin and Rin got the message. Go back to the castle. So Rin grabbed Suzu and went to the castle. She'd have to remember to ask Kagome why she told Rin to that and also who that man was.

"Kouga, I work here now. I cannot be with you."

"Why not? Kagome, I have waited forever for this moment. The moment where you and I could be together." Kouga pulled Kagome forward. "'Common Kagome."

Kagome pushed away from Kouga forcefully. "No!" But she couldn't break free.

"Kagome…" Kouga went to kiss Kagome but shoved her hand in his face when she suddenly heard an-oh so familiar voice. She froze.

"If you had her as a mate would you just as easily force yourself upon her? What a petty wolf demon."

Kagome silently thanked Sesshomaru for coming. She'd have to remember to thank him personally later on. Kouga growled as he looked up at Sesshomaru.

"She's not your property either!"

"I should have known you'd come back here looking for Kagome. But as one of my servants she does in a way belong to me. So do these lands, this castle, and everyone working in my castle. Now please remove yourself from my property before I pry you from it."

"How could you make her be a maid? You forced her as much as I am now."

Maid? Sesshomaru was confused but didn't show it. He turned to Kagome who looked kind of worried. He'd have to ask her about it later. Sesshomaru showed Kouga his claws.

"I guess prying was your choice."

Kagome was surprised. She was wondering if he meant pry Kouga from her or the land.

Kagome felt Kouga tremble before he let Kagome go, pushing her away from him. Kagome fell to the floor only wincing a bit.

"Very good, now get off my land."

Kagome finally knew he meant her when he said pry. That was a lot of Kagome's mind. That was just one of the things though. She now turned her attention to Kouga who was now running off with his tail between his legs. She suddenly saw a shadow cover her. She was face down but the rest of her body was contorted to the side on the ground. Kagome looked up pathetically with a piece of hair in her face, her eyes shining in the sunlight. She saw, towering over her, Sesshomaru.

"Can you get up?"

Kagome blinked. She moved a bit and forced herself up.

"Uh yes, Lord Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru watched Kagome as she got up and dusted her self off. He and she both noticed a hole in by the knee.

"I'll send for a new kimono. Once you get cleaned up I will be expecting you in my office."

Kagome was about to say it wasn't necessary but Sesshomaru was already walking away. Of course something that belonged to Sesshomaru wasn't going to have a hole in their clothes. Wait, about that property thing. Kagome felt like complaining but held her tongue she silently followed Sesshomaru.
