Chapter 15

Tengi and Kagome came to the libraary. Once the doors were open, they revealed huge, long shelves filled with books. They even had tall,wheeling latters to reach the books and tables with candles for reading in cornes and centers of the room. The grand place had wide windows with purple drapes for decoration on either side of the library. Some even brought a fair amount of sunlight in so there was no need for the candles yet. It was indeed a magnificent place.

"Okay then." Kagome started. It had no affect on her. She thought Sesshomaru went a little overboard. Like anyone ever reads these books.

"Wow" Tengi said. He had never seen a library before but did know how to read.

"Whose gonna read all these books?" he asked walking to one of the shelves with very thick based books.

"Who knows. Just get looking for anything on illusionists.We need to find out everything we can about Chintado's power." Kagome picked up a book that's title read

"How to turn wood into metal"

"Uh, this might take a while." she stated.

"Well how long do you think it'll take?" Tengi asked with a worried expression.

"About until dusk." she walked over to another shelf and picked up

"Great yokai remidies"

Apparently they were in the human alphabetical order. So Illusionists would be right after the H books.

"Tengi, there in alphabetical order." Kagome warned.

"Yokai or ningen?" he asked putting down his book about "Neko wonders".

"Ningen." she replied.

"So that means, illusionist must be after H."

"Good, start looking" she said. They went through

"I am a serpent. Now a man" which was on the first shelf.

"Icky potions pups don't need to be in". That was on thefifthshelf.

and

"I didn't know that human was a species." Kagome and Tengi were now on there tip toes reaching up for the books.

"Okay, this isn't working out." Kagome was now fed up. It was nearly noon, they had gone through at least over 50 books each already, and they barleyt made a dent of progress.

"Tengi, the book were looking for is obviously further up since D is on the sixth shelf, and we're searching for the L shelf." Kagome pointed out.

"So"

"So I need you to climb up the shelves and find the books for me." she explained giving him a "duh" look.and crossing her arms.

"Books? Climb?" He was baffled.

"Hai. It shouldn't be a problem, your a neko. Just climb up and drop anything you can find on illusionists."

"Why can't you use the latter." he pointed to a nearby wheeling latter.

"Because if I fall it'll be your head. Now go!" she yelled an smirked.

"Aw man." Tengi swiftly climbed up the bookshelf in search of the L case.

Kagome look up at him, her head arched back. She put her hands into her sleeves. Tengi carefully opened each book with on hand and hanging onto the shelf with the other.

"I think I've found something." he called down to her and dropped a medium based book. Kagome caught it. He dropped another.

"How many are there?" She called back up to him.

"One more."

As he was about to drop the last book, the doors opened. It was Casemi who had a handful of books in her hand. Followed by her were two other servants with books in their grasps also. One with auburn hair, pink eyes and a mole above her left eye brow. Shewas ten years older then Casemi. The other was a little younger than both Casemi and the pink eyed girl. She brown eyes like Kagome and black hair. She must be human.

"Konichi-wa Kagome." Casemi said as he other two went to work.

All to quickly,a book came flying from out of the sky. Kagome caught it just in time befor it could strike her. After the book came neko crashing onto the ground. Tengi flopped on the stone floor, his head facing down and his body sagging over him. He could take it. After all, he did say that he was flexable. At one sight of Casemi Tengi lost all concentration and grip.

Casemi and the other servants giggled as they continued to put more books on the shelves.

"Arigatou." Kagome said down to the dazed neko. She walked over to Casemi who was still working.

"Casemi, isn't it a cociencidence that you are here on the same day as me, at the same time, out of all the servants in this castle?" Kagome gave a serious stare at Casemi saying "You better tell me something."

"Okay, your to smart, Kagome." Casemi said smiling sadly.

"Um hm, spill it." Kagome cocked her head in intrest.

"Okay, well, Sesshomaru-sama ordered me specifically to watch what you were doing in the library. To see if you were doing your job."

"And?"

"And he wanted you to meet him in his study when you were done." Casemi confessed.

"That kisama. Fine. Alright, but I'm not done yet."

Kagome walked over to a table and set the three books down. She flipped through all of the pages. Tengi was up and at her side by now. She sighed heavily.

"What's wrong ?" He asked.

"Which alphabet can you read?" she asked

"Only human. Why?" Tengi asked rubbing his neck from the fall.

"All this books on illusionists are in yokai language."

"Ouch. So what. You grew up around the yokai cizilization didn't you?"

"As a servant. I was lucky enough to learn the human alphabet. We weren't aloud to read."

"That's right." Casemi backed her up.

"So what does this mean?" Tengi asked.

"It means...I'm done." Kagome picked up allof her demon literature and headed to Sesshomaru's study.
