Tranquility of the Heart

Chapter 6

Kagome narrowed her eyes, the voice sounded oddly familiar, then it hit her, it was sesshomaru.

'S-sesshomaru?' sounding frightened then angry 'Hey! You can read minds that's not fair!'

'How's it not fair human?'

Before Kagome was able to answer Sue had dragged her to the front door of the dinning room. Then door was huge, it had a carving of the moon with Sakura blossoms coming from the corners. Kagome grasped and Sue giggled a little before biding her good byes. Slowly pushing the doors open Kagome stepped into the room. The room it self was huge too, it had a long dinning table that had a silky white table cloth with chairs that matched the table. Kagome guessed that the seat at the very front of the table was Sesshomaru's and judging by the china already set up she guessed Rin was probably joining them and for that she was glad to no end. She felt kinda tired from walking such a long way so she toke a seat on the left side of Sesshomaru's seat and closed her eyes for a few minutes.

Kagome felt a hand on her shoulder, then fallowed by enormous pain, but she refused to whimper or cry, especially in the presence of Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru was indeed impressed by the girl's show of courage, but did not show it, his face remained emotionless and cold.

Then he bent down and whispered "I'll let it go this time, but next time think twice. Oh and you should stand up when I come in do you understand or do I have to make it simpler for your human brain to understand" in her ear.

Kagome's in side was boiling with rage, her a simpleton oh please, she bet that she could say words that he doesn't even have of clue to what the are. With her fisted clutched she slowly nodded her head. Sesshomaru smirked inwardly and said "Good girl" telepathically before Kagome could say another world. 'Why that jerk, get out of my mind NOW!' yelled Kagome mentally. Sesshomaru was about to remind her when Rin interrupted their umm…..conversation.

"Kagome-nee chan, Kagome-nee chan are you better? Are you staying with Rin and Sesshomaru-sama?" Asked a cheerful Rin as she ran to hug Kagome.

"Hello Rin, I'm fine thank you and as for staying I don't know it I can" replied Kagome glancing quickly at Sesshomaru. Rin was very sad to know that her kagome-nee chan was not going to stay, Kagome seeing the little girl's unhappiness felt sad as well, so she told Rin that she would stay as long as she can. Rin immediately cheered up and ran to take her seat at the right side of Sesshomaru.

'Dinner was very uneventful; no one even tried to start a conversation. I'm mean who would when their eating with the ice prince him self, man that guy is annoying, not annoying in the Inuyasha kinda way, but an annoying silent kinda way.'

'cough, cough' Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes.

's-s-orr-ry'

For the most part of the dinner, it was very pleasant and not at all what he expected. Sesshomaru was also pleased with kagome's manners.

'so the girl knows some manners, well that's good, maybe he could teach Rin something that I can not teach.

Kagome finished her food as quickly as she can and excused her self from the table and exited through the door. She was surprised to see Sue waiting for her.

"Sue what are you doing here?"

"To take you back to your room, Kagome"

"Thanks Sue!" smiled Kagome sweetly.

After what seemed like hours they arrived at Kagome's room. Sue said a quick good night and hurried off to her other duties. Kagome was beyond bored she had no one to talk to and nothing to do, but worst of all she was stuck in Sesshomaru's castle. With a while of pacing around and rearranging things over and over again trying to kill time. Finally after all that pacing and rearranging Kagome finally decided to take a bath and go to bed.

Quietly Kagome walked over to the closet and picked out a red sleeping yokata made of skin soft silk, then she walked out the door in to the halls, trying to find a hot spring, but the long vast corridors all looked the same to Kagome soon Kagome was lost like a pin in a hay stack.

"Kagome! Kagome! Waite up" cried a voice.

Kagome stopped and turned around, she saw Sue with a big smile on her face walking up to Kagome. Seeing Sue's smile, Kagome smiled happily as well.

"Hi Sue! Umm…can you help me find a hot spring, I would like to take a bath before bed."

"Sure thing! Let's see, there's quite a few hot springs in the castle, but the closest one to your room should be up ahead."

"But, Sue I came that way" said Kagome as she pointed in the opposite direction.

To Kagome's surprise Sue burst out laughing. "Sorry Kagome, but I believe you've been going around in circles" Finally stopping her laughter Sue took Kagome down the hall to the hot springs.

"Hey Kagome do you want me to help you bath? I got nothing else to do this evening any ways, so if you want I can keep you company"

"Thank you so much, that would be wonderful, come lets go." Kagome was so happy that she nearly squeezed the life out of Sue.

"Your welcome, now if you'll just let go cause I can't breath" said a panting Sue.

"Sorry" giggled Kagome.
