Hello again! I am sorry that I haven't updated in so long... But tonight, I have TWO chapters to post! YAY! I have too much time on my hands, so I get to type more! woo! Anywho, I want to really make a sequel to this story when I end it, to make it like the future type thing, because... well... i don't want to spoil the ending:D Enjoy reading!Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, and I never will... But I own my story:D
"Akina, you can't possibly tell me these baths belong to him!" Kagome was still in awe, and couldn't believe something this huge was his. The room was about the size of a football field, and the baths were separated by walls. She noticed the men bath on one side, and the women on the other.
"Sorry, my lady, but these all belong to Lord Sesshoumaru." Akina bowed and Kagome looked at her. I do wish for her not to call me that. But, gee, these baths are huge! She looked back at the water and smiled. I cannot wait to get into there!
"Akina, are you going in as well?" Akina looked at her, and was surprised! Surely this human knew that the servants do not bath with the occupants of this bathing room. She wasn't even asked that in her entire life serving Sesshoumaru to bath here!
"I am sorry, my lady. We servants do not bath in here, but rather the other bathing room." Kagome turned around in shock, as her mouth gaped open.
"Y-you mean there…is another bathing room here!" Akina nodded, and Kagome nearly fainted right there. I think he is a little spoiled.
"Yes, the servants have a separate bathing room than Lord Sesshoumaru and his guests." Oh no… that means…
"Sesshoumaru baths here." Kagome whispered aloud. Akina nodded, and set up her bath. Kagome followed her, and began helping her. Akina motioned her to go undress, and Kagome nodded. She went to the nearest spot and began to get undressed.
"Your bath is ready, my lady." Akina left the room and Kagome smiled. She couldn't say thank you then, but she would when she saw Akina next.
Kagome slipped her feet into the water, and felt it warm, really warm. She sighed in pleasure of the water, and placed her whole leg into the water. Then, her whole body was placed in the water. She was in heaven again. I wonder… where would Sesshoumaru bath? Surely he has this special one that is only for him. She looked around, hoping to see beyond the walls. Unfortunately, the walls were too thick to see through.
"Although no one else is here, I guess it still feels creepy…" She sighed and looked up at the ceiling. She closed her eyes and smiled. I don't deserve this kind of pleasure or rich feeling! She heard footsteps coming towards her, but she thought it was just Rin, a servant or Jaken, so she didn't look back.
"Thank you for this bath. It is really wonderful." She said to the person "I wish I could be here all day, but I know Sesshoumaru would not like that. You know how strict he can be… But then, he can also be loving." She muttered. She didn't want the person to know, and she certainly didn't want him to know that. Then, suddenly…
Silence.
She opened her eyes and scanned what was in front of her. She didn't see anyone coming in nor out. So who or what was that in which they entered the baths? She didn't want to turn around, and she certainly didn't want to get up. She was frozen.
Every limb tensed up. Her mind told her to turn around, but her body kept her stuck there. She was practically motionless. Oh no… what if that is Koga behind me? Or a kidnapper trying to kill me! She sighed and turned her head slightly. She still couldn't see who it was, and turned her head even more.
A sudden gasp came out of her mouth as she finally figured out who it was. "Sesshoumaru!" She fixed her eyes on him, as he was fully dressed. What is he doing here! "How long were you there?"
"Long enough." Sesshoumaru turned around, having his back towards her. She blushed and turned her head back to the water. "Miko." Again with the 'Miko' thing.
"What?"
"Be prepared for dinner." She nodded and he left the room. She sighed of relief, and held her head. Oh man. He probably thinks of me as a jerk.
She jumped out of the water and grabbed her eveningwear. She quickly got dressed, and rushed to the door. She pushed the door open, and looked over the ledge onto the main floor. She rushed to the stairs and ran down them. She looked around, and saw many doors. Which one do I go to!
"May I help you?" A servant asked.
"Well… Where is the dining area?" She asked. The servant sighed and pointed to a door to her left. She smiled. "Thank you." She rushed to the door and opened it.
The walls were a dark blue, and the floors were covered in a type of fabric. The tables weren't that fancy, but fancier than her stuff in her time. They were really shiny, and she took that as fancy. The chairs matched the walls, and the dinnerware matched the fabric.
Jaken was sitting next to Rin, who was still poking him from earlier. Every now and then, she would see him try to slap him away. It didn't work, and she kept poking him. Kagome would giggle, and she looked at Sesshoumaru. He was so far away from them, and didn't really want to sit by anyone. She found a chair across from Jaken and pulled it out.
"Miko." She sighed and glanced at him. He was pointing to a chair right next to him and her eyes widened. Why next to him? She nodded and walked up to the chair. She pulled that one out and sat down in it. She noticed the food was different on each end. She mumbled a prayer and began to chow down. Sesshoumaru watched her eat, and it seemed her and Rin were much alike when it came to eating. He pulled out some food for himself to eat, and began to fill his stomach as well.
"Miroku, how much longer do you think it'll take?" Sango asked. He looked back at her and smiled.
"Depending on how far Sesshoumaru wants to be from everyone else, I'll say around another day." Sango nodded and sighed. Oh Kagome. I hope you are doing okay! She smiled and felt her head falling. It landed on Miroku's shoulder.
He looked down, feeling an extra weight suddenly falling on his shoulder. Shippo? His vision cleared in and saw it was Sango. He smiled and patted her head. "I know it is a long way, but you will be able to see her again." She smiled, and scooted in closer to him. I want to feel him. I want to hold him.
"I know." She lifted her arms, and slowly placed them around his waist. He quickly looked down, and saw her holding him. He smiled, and placed his hands on hers. She closed her eyes, and thought about the visit to Kagome, and the wonderful moment she was having with Miroku.
"Oh man, that was a good meal!" Kagome walked out of the dining hall, full. She walked up the stairs, remembering the conversation her and Sesshoumaru had together.
FLASHBACK
"So, Sesshoumaru, why is my room next to yours?" Her mouth full of food managed to get words out.
"None of your concern, Miko." She swallowed her food and looked at him.
"Okay, Miko is getting pretty annoying right about now. Why don't you call me by my name?" She kept giving him death glares. He took a piece of food and put it in his mouth, swallowing it in an instant.
"Reasons."
"Well, I want to know! Why don't you just tell me?" She yelled, as her anger echoed throughout the room. He finally looked at her, staring in her eyes.
"If you must know, come to my room tonight." He stood from the table and made his way towards the door.
"Tonight? Why tonight? Why not tomorrow?" He didn't answer her, but just kept walking towards the door. "What a pain you are!" He stopped, looked right at her, and walked out.
END OF FLASHBACK :D
"This stinks! Now I have to change into something else, AND walk over to his room!" She reached the top of the stairs and saw his door closed. She walked to her room and opened her door, still looking at his door. Maybe he can't hear me… She slyly waltzed into the enormous room, and rushed to her wardrobe.
"What is it, my lady?" Akina asked her from her corner. Kagome jumped and sighed. She looked over and smiled.
"Sesshoumaru wants me to go over to his room and talk to him, apparently." She hurried through the wardrobe and randomly picked something. It was a deep red, fitting her perfectly, and it was very silky. It looked like a Chinese dress, and she thought it was pretty.
"Well I hope it goes very well." She smiled, and walked to the door.
"Thanks, Akina. For everything." She walked out and wandered towards his door. She inhaled a deep breath of air, and exhaled slowly. Come on, Kagome. You can knock. Or are you scared of what is coming? She lifted her arm and placed her fist on the door. She knocked lightly, and didn't hear anything. She knocked again, only to hear footsteps becoming louder towards the door.
OMG! That's the end? How can that be! That's probably what you all are saying... But do not worry about this cliffy! There is another chapter ahead! I bet you are happy now... :D Ja ne!
