Kagome Trains
A tangled burrow of cloth begins to shiver and shift about as the early morning light wafts in through a window high in the wall.
More spurious action ensues as the entity under the covers realizes that she cannot escape her heated cocoon in which she had spent the night.
What happens after is a violent tussle in which Kagome finally pierces a hole in her captor's smothering grasp. A lithe arm shoots upward into the chilly air, rather like in the horror flicks, before withdrawing back into the covers. A pert nose peeks through, followed by Kagome's sleep flushed face.
For a minute, Kagome thought she was back at home, for she was lying on a futon and the windows were glazed with glass. She was soon brought back to the memories of last night as she realized that there was an armoire instead of a closet and a low table in place of a vanity.
Kagome was at a loss.. She basically had been rejected by that jerk in favor of a long dead priestess, kidnapped by Inu-jerk's murderous half brother, and generally was treated better here, as Sesshoumaru's hostage. The youkai lord had fed her, clothed her, and was willing to have someone teach her to defend herself instead of yelling at her for the inconveniences she posed.
At supper last night, Kagome found something she had thought left behind. A human child named Rin was seated beside Sesshoumaru at the table and would not stop chattering during the whole of the meal until the Taiyoukai told her to be quiet for five minutes. Silence fell and during that time, food was eaten with elegance, tea was drunk without slurping, and only the sound of chopsticks clicking against bowls was heard. And then the period passed.
Five minutes, to the second, was all that Rin could stand, and as soon as the deadline was met, she felt free to bombard her new friend with questions and comments. She much preferred Kagome, a female, and human to boot, to Jakin, an old, miserly male youkai.
Kagome had also promised to play with her the next day as soon as she finished her training for the morning.
Speaking of training, Kagome felt that it was high time she got started for the day and presented herself for training. Sesshoumaru had stated near the end of the meal that her trainer would come to get her at her room the next morning. He had also looked at her after his statement, with his cold golden eyes, and Kagome could have sworn she had seen a spark of amusement flare before silky lashed eyelids hooded his gaze.
Back to the fuzzy-headed, sleepy Kagome, who was now digging through her armoire for good practice clothes. A niggling little sense at the nape of her neck warned her that she was being watched
