Living at the Shiro was a balancing act.
Being waited on all day long made Kagome uncomfortable—was it completely out of the realm of possibilities that she be allowed to dress and bathe herself?
The pretty butterfly youkai assigned to her was friendly enough, but she also had a stubborn streak and refused to listen to any of Kagome's requests, stating that Kagome was an esteemed guest of the Western Lord.
Inuyasha had told her just to go along with it, but she'd noticed he'd run off his own attendant within the first hour of arriving.
Besides, how was she supposed to ask Sesshoumaru about his mother if no one ever left her alone?
