Chapter 2: Known Stranger
Kagome's eyes blinked open, but she quickly shut them again. She looked around the unfamiliar place, and noticed that the morning had come. Birds were twittering excitedly for the new day.
"Kagome-chan, you have awoken?" Said a light voice. Kagome raised her head to see Sango hobbling in on crutches. Her left foot had a cast upon it.
"Sango-chan!" Kagome struggled out of bed, but only to collapse into a heap of searing red pain. Sango hurried to her friend's side and gently pushed her back.
"You have better rest. Don't forget, you have been hurt too." The Tajiya explained to her. The young miko nodded understandingly and laid back down.
"Kagome-sama?" The monk walked in. A cast on one of his arms, and a bandage wrapped about his forehead. Kagome nodded to him and gave a glance out the window. Fields of green grass sprinkled with beautiful flowers.
"Ano..." She turned to both of them. Confusion clearly written on her pale face. "Where are we?"
Miroku and Sango glanced at eachother before turning their attention back to the wounded miko. Sango and Miroku smiled gently. Sango nodded to Miroku, who opened his mouth to answer.
"We're in Sess-" He was suddenly interrupted by a high pitched squeal. A small orange blur pounced on Kagome's bed and hugged her.
"Ohiyo pretty lady! Remember Rin? I'm Rin!" The small girl looking around the age of seven pointed to herself. Kagome blinked her eyes and stared at the young girl in the orange and white checkered kimono.
"Of coarse I remember you!" Kagome gently pushed back the bangs that covered the girl's eyes. "But that must mean..." She looked back up at Sango and Miroku.
Sango nodded. "We're in Sesshoumaru-Sama's palace." Kagome's eyes widened in astonishment.
"Why?" She asked quietly. Rin grinned her toothy grin and tapped a finger on Kagome's forehead.
"Silly. Rin told Sesshoumaru-sama to save you, pretty lady!" She pointed at Miroku's and Sango's wounds. "Sesshoumaru-sama borrowed pretty lady's bandages." Rin explained it as though to an infant.
Soft tapping footsteps padded into the room. Shippo rubbed his eyes, and Kirara, who was beside him, opened its mouth in a yawn.
"Kirara!" Sango exclaimed. The small kitty mewed and jumped into its owner's arms. Shippo's bright green eyes widened.
"Kagome!" Shippo jumped into Kagome's hug and trembled as tears rolled from his face. "I thought we were gonna die.." He sobbed quietly. Kagome stroked his fiery red hair and wiped away the wet streaks on his face.
Rin smiled sadly and padded his back. "Don't worry! Rin and Sesshoumaru- sama will take care of all of you!" She spread her arms to make a point.
"Rin. Are they feeling better?" A low voice suddenly asked. Rin squealed, jumped off the bed and latched herself to a leg.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!"
Everyone in the room turned to stare at him in surprise. Sesshoumaru's golden eyes narrowed.
'Eyes so like Inuyasha's...' Kagome thought.
"Ano.. Arigoto Sesshoumaru-Sama.. for saving us all." Kagome piped up. Sango and Miroku nodded and joined in with their thanks.
The Lord turned away, so that only his back was to them. A tinge of amusement was hidden in his voice-
"Do not thank me. Thank Rin. Remember, you are mere humans to me. Without Rin.." He turned and fixed a steady gaze upon Kagome. "I don't think you'd be here today.."
