Chapter Two

The Castle:

"Lord Inuyasha! The girl has arrived!!" Yusho called through the house. Trying to find his master. "Lord Inuyasha! Where are-" Inuyasha stepped through the doorway.

"Yusho, my servant. Do you honestly think that I do not know that Kagome is here?" Inuyasha turned to walk away from Yusho and to Kagome's new room. The other servants would show it to her and he wanted to be there to greet her.

"I don't see why you picked a HUMAN girl. Lord Inuyasha, that wench is not fit to be a maid in this castle!" Yusho soon found himself up against a wall.

"Hold your tongue! Her name is Kagome! And she shall be addressed as such! Do I make myself clear?" Yusho nodded his head and Inuyasha let him down from the wall.

~outside~

"Lady Kagome?" A man bowed in respect to his brothers new mate. "I am Miroku. A brother of the Lord." He took her hand and lead her though the gardens.

"It is so beautiful." Kagome replied looking at the castle. It stood on a hill and was rather lovely from where she was standing. It had towers and gates with people rushing around the bottom. She assumed they were servants.

Miroku took her to the castle gates main entrance."Open the gate, it's only me, Miroku." The gate keeper looked at the girl beside him.

"Who is the wench?" He snarled at the pair.

"It would be best to hold your comments. She is a guest of the Lord." The gate keeper looked scared for a minute. He knew that there would be a new guest and it would be Inuyasha's mate, but he didn't know this was her. "Oy, do you think he heard me?" Miroku shook his head no and the gate opened. Kagome was a little uncomfortable from the looks she was getting.

It seemed that all the men were staring at her with lust, that is until Miroku told them who she was. Kagome was a bit confused. As soon as he said she was the Lords guest they all seemed to cower away from her.

"Miroku? Why is it that when you tell them who I am they all seem to run?" Kagome sat down on a step. Miroku looked worried. 'Great how am I to explain this to her. I can't tell her she is destined to be Inuyasha's mate, but I don't want to lie to her.' Miroku thought for a second and then replied.

"Lord Inuyasha does not like his guests to be messed with. Those people who you saw were probably already planning a way to rape you." A scared look flashed across her eyes, followed by humor.

"Like they could." She simply said before standing up and walking into the castle. 'Hm, Inuyasha huh? It is a very nice name. I've heard of before. They say he is the 2nd heir to his fathers throne.' Kagome thought to herself before following Miroku.

"Lady Kagome, this is the springs. Your bathing shall be done here." He opened a door to a magnicifent room. You could tell the castle had been built over the springs. Not only did you get an indoor bath you got the castle heated to the perfect temperature.

"Over here is the pool." Kagome looked at it and decided it was more of a pond then a pool, sure the water was clear but it still looked like a retangular pond. Miroku grabbed her arm and through her out of the way of something. She picked herself up from the ground and proceeded to yell at him.

"What was that for you big jerk!" She would have yelled more but she saw that he had a guard in a head lock.

"Miroku! You trader! You brought a human girl into the castle!" Miroku hit him over the head with a rock.

"Jakustia! Show some respect. I should have you murdered for your words! You DARE speak ill of me and my brothers new guest!" Miroku almost let it slip that she was Inuyasha's mate. He didn't understand why she wasnt supposed to know.

"Lord, i'm sorry I beg of your forgiveness, but I cant let this happen!" Jakustia hit Miroku knocking him out cold. "My Lord does not need a wench like you!" He scream and started to charge at her. Kagome only looked sort of bored.

"You can't hurt me." She said throwing up a hand. Jakustia paid no attention and charged at her. He came in contacts with what felt like a brick wall.

"Trickery! You shall die wench!" He charged at her again.

"Look i told you. You can't hurt me so dont even-" She was cut off by a very stern yell from Miroku.

"Jakustia! Stop this NOW! It is true you can not hurt her. Not only by her words but by Inuyasha's and mine!" Jakustia dropped his sword and left the two alone. Miroku walked over to Kagome and layed a hand on her shoulder.

"Are you alright?" Miroku looked at her once over to make sure. Stopping a little bit at her breast.

"I'm fine thank you!" She said before slapping him across the face. "I do have a question though." They were walking back down the hall towards her room.

"I know Inuyasha is hanyou and you have a full demon brother, but what are you? Human? Hanyou? or Demon?" Miroku looked down at her. He got this question all the time. It was because he looked more like his mother, who was human.

"I am hanyou. Inuyasha and i share the same mother. He just happens to look more like our father, then our mother." Miroku pointed to his ears. "This is the only physical thing I can find that shows I am hanyou. Besides my nails."

Kagome looked at his ears, they were pointed and his nails were the same way. He was very sexy with his raven hair pulled back and his violet eyes that looked as if they can pierce the day with dark.

"Here we are. This is your room." He opened the door to a fairly large room. It was painted in blue's and yellows. Kagome loved it. Sitting on the bed was a silver haired, hazel eyed man. He was toned in all the right places and looked extremely powerful. Although Kagome was sure she could take him down if she needed. (can you guess who?! I bet its not the one your thinking)

"Oh, hello brother of mine." Miroku said sarcastically.

"Half brother and you remember that." The man said very dull. "Who is this, human?" His voice held no emotion but was very smooth all the same.

"Oh just a girl that I have brought for my pleasure." Miroku gave Kagome a little wink reasurring her he was joking. The man rose from the bed. He had on a white haori with a slash of red and yellow.

"I thought this girl was brought here for her powers as Inuyasha's guest? You dare betray Inuyasha?!" The mans voice was losing its confidence and dullness.

"I sure do Sesshomaru, or should I say INUYASHA!" Miroku tackled the man and they both fell over the bed. When they stood up Sesshomaru with the elegant marks the adorned his face was gone. Replaced by a younger one. Miroku said that this was Inuyasha.

"Working on shape shifting I see," Miroku jabbed him in the ribs.

"Trying to. So is this Kagome?" Miroku nodded his head and Inuyasha walked over to her. "Nice to finally meet you Kagome. I believe you already know who I am." Inuyasha put his hand out and Kagome took it.

"I know you just got here but would you like to go for a swim?" Inuyasha looked at Kagome's bag. "Indeed you have brought a suit for it." Kagome nodded her head.

"I would love to. Miroku will you come?" She didn't really know Inuyasha yet and it would be a help to have someone she would have at least known for an hour to be there.

"Sure, I will bring Sango." A confused look flashed over her eyes agian. "Sango is my mate." Miroku said plainly.

"You wish!" Inuyasha threw a pillow at Miroku's head. "She hasn't accepted you and you know it." He turned back to Kagome. "They act like lovers but they're not."

Inuyasha and Miroku left so Kagome could get changed. "Just meet us at the pool ok?" Miroku called after shutting the door.

Kagome dug through her things to find her swim suit. When she found it she slipped it on and started walking towards the pool. She heard lots of splashing and quickened her pace a little. She was about to the door to the pool when she heard a girl shout at her from down the hall.

"Kagome?" Kagome turned to see who it was and got the suprise of her life. "SANGO! I thought it was you Miroku was talking about but I wasn't for sure! So this is where you live huh?" Sango and Kagome were almost siblings. They were life long friends.

"Yea." Sango had moved here about a month ago and Kagome hadn't seem her since. "No matter what they say I'm not Miroku's mate." Sango added before opening the door to the pool.

Inuyasha and Miroku were having a water fight. Kagome and Sango did the best they could to avoid the water. "Hey Sango, Kagome. Join us wont you?" Miroku hollered from the water.

"Feh! Their too chicken. They couldn't swim even if they tried." Inuyashe blurted out.

"Like you can Inuyasha! The only way you swim is the DOGGY PATTLE!" Sango screamed out at him. Kagome on the other hand bust up laughing.

"Whats your problem Kagome?" Inuyasha jumped out of the water and walked over to her.

"Oh nothing." She said. "AND I am not scared of the water AND I can swim." A smirk crept Inuyasha's face and Kagome didn't like it. It looked really mischevious.

Inuyasha grabbed Kagome into a hug soaking her in the process. "AHH! Inuyasha! Let go your making me all wet!" Kagome thought for a second then put both hands to his chest. A light blue light surrounded him and then he was levitated off the ground.

"Hey! let me go!!!" Inuyasha couldn't move his arms or his legs.

"Whatever you say." Kagome let the light die and Inuyasha plunged into the pool.

'So that is her game.' he thought to himself. 'Two can play at the game.'

He jumped out of the pool and grabbed both Sango and Kagome. He walked over to the waters edge and threw them both in. Only to be pushed by Miroku who in return lost his balance and fell in. They all emerged from the water laughing.

*SLAP* "Hentai!!" Sango screamed and Miroku had a red hand print on his face. Inuyasha leaned over to Kagome and whispered. "They do that all the time."

Kagome turned to face Inuyasha her face red from both blush and anger. "Inuyasha can you do me a favor?"

"Sure" He replied cooly know what she was going to say and what he would get in return for it.
