Chapter two – Jaken the servant and treating the sick
.

Kagome entered the castle that belonged to Sesshoumaru. She was a little nervous when she had to ride on the dragon, but it turned out to be fun. The child, who Kagome learned was named Rin didn't talk too much on the trip. {Probably because her throat hurts} she thought.

Sesshoumaru passed by Kagome "follow me" he almost smirked when he watched her obey. {I was hopping for a little resilience from her} he thought remembering all the times in battle when Inuyasha would tell her to stay out of it, but she would never listen {such a strange human}

Sesshoumaru led her, Rin and Jaken down a hall that led past the kitchen, past some empty rooms and finally to some bedrooms. Jaken walked into the first room on the right and Sesshoumaru stopped at the room across from Jaken's.

Jaken noticed this and stopped in his door way. It was one miracle that Sesshoumaru saved the life of a human child, but it was another to actually let the human child and Inuyasha's wench to stay at the castle. Ever since Sesshoumaru had gone in search of tetsusaiga they had never been back to the castle. Instead they were always out camping. Jaken assumed they would never return back to the castle until Sesshoumaru had possession of his brother's sword. Guess he was wrong, they did return to the castle.

Sesshoumaru opened the first door on the left, across from Jaken's "this shall be yours and Rin's room during your stay"

Jaken's eyes went wide "Sesshoumaru-sama! You do realize they're human and will being sleeping in the room across from this Jaken?"

Sesshoumaru kicked the little toad and gave a slight growl "do you take me as blind Jaken?"

Jaken shook his head before bowing and smacking his face on the floor "of course not Sesshoumaru-sama. Forgive this lowly Jaken!"

Sesshoumaru turned his attention back to Kagome "Jaken will be at your disposal, if you need anything you can send him"

Kagome nodded "arigato Sesshoumaru-sama, but won't you be needing your him?"

"Lie (pronounced ee-yeh) I will be staying here until Rin is well" he started to walk away before stopping "beside I have other servants"

Kagome watched the retreating figure known as Sesshoumaru's back. She shook her head and looked at Rin "well let's get you into bed". Rin just nodded before coughing. She looked at Jaken who didn't look like he was totally there since his eyes were all bug eyed and his jaw reached the ground "Jaken, I need warm water and some soup"

Jaken snapped out of his shocked phase and snapped into angry "I'm not your servant, human!" all of a sudden Jaken felt something hit his head and he went crashing to the floor. He looked around and saw a rock. He slowly turned his head to see Sesshoumaru standing in the hall.

"You will listen to Kagome, Jaken, or else"

Kagome blinked {wow, he actually used my name. I wasn't expecting that} she mentally shook her head {what am I thinking, yes I'm shocked about the name thing, but I'm still shocked he's letting me use his number one servant}. Kagome knew all to well that wherever Sesshoumaru was, Jaken wasn't too far behind. She shook her head and looked at Jaken before looking back at Sesshoumaru.

He folded his arms across his chest "if he gives you any trouble, feel free to hit him" he withheld a smirk when he saw Kagome's shocked expression {if I'm ever going to figure her out it's best I be nice} he figured to himself {but I would love nothing more than to scare her out of her mind} with that thought, he walked away.

Kagome shook her head {well I wasn't expecting that. He gave me permission to smack Jaken about?} She raised an eye brow {Sesshoumaru is being just a bit too nice. I know that's not the real him. He's the ice lord. Not to mention he hates humans to no end} she reminded herself. She was brought out of her thoughts when there was a tug on her sleeve. She looked down to see Rin.

Rin looked up "when are we going into the room?" her voice was scratchy and she found it hurt to speak.

"Right now" Kagome smiled and brought the child inside. There were 2 beds. One was in the left corner and one was in the right. There was only one window, a dresser, and a table with a mirror, a chair, and a closet. It wasn't a large room, but it wasn't tiny either. There was still plenty of room to move around in. She looked back down to Rin "well you can pick your bed since you'll be staying here a lot longer than me"

Rin nodded and choose the bed on the right side of the room. She then looked back at Kagome and a tear slid down her cheek "my throat hurts"

"Don't worry Rin" Kagome said as she walked over and took a seat on the bed next to Rin "it will be better soon, I promise"

"Really?" she croaked

Kagome smiled and nodded "I don't make promises I can't keep"

Just then Jaken came in carrying the soup, warm water and a washcloth. He didn't look to happen either and he continued to mumble to himself until he reached the girls "here's what you asked for wench!"

Kagome glared at him "my name is Kagome"

Jaken shot a glare right back "you're nothing, but a lowly human"

That did it. Kagome stood up and with one hard kick the toad was sent flying into a wall.

Rin couldn't help, but giggle at how funny Jaken look as a sheet of paper on a wall with his tongue sticking out to the side and his eyes ever so wide. It was a comical moment.

Kagome couldn't retain her giggles either. Seeing Jaken so flat was hysterical and soon both girls were laughing at the toad. After a few minutes Jaken had peeled himself off the wall and left the room with what dignity he had left…. which wasn't really very much since he tripped on his way out and landed on his face.

After a few more minutes had passed the girls finally stopped laughing and Kagome made Rin eat the soup. Though Rin wasn't really sure why she needed to eat soup since she was sick, but she wouldn't question since Kagome looked like she knew what she was doing.

Kagome smiled as Rin finished the last bit before going to her yellow bag that she brought with her. A noise at the door alerted her attention and she looked to see a scowling Jaken "is there anything else you need before I turn in?" he grumbled.

Kagome smiled and nodded "actually, yes there is. A glass of water and that will be all" {hey I could get use to ordering people around, maybe I should become a doctor or better yet President} she silently thought.

After waiting a few minutes Jaken came back with water "I don't see how this will make her better"

Kagome smiled "don't worry it will, come tomorrow Rin will be feeling much better"

Rin smiled "then I can go outside and play?"

Kagome shook her head "not for a couple days more. We'll have to make sure you don't get sick again"

Rin sighed, but nodded. Kagome pulled out her first aid kit from her bag. She opened it and took out some cough syrup. She poured a small amount into the lid "alright now Rin, I'm going to need you to drink this. It's not going to taste great, but you got to take it" she placed the bottle down and picked up the water "drink this after you drink the medicine. It will help get rid of the bad taste"

Rin nodded and drank the medicine. She gagged at the taste and quickly took the water. To her relief it did help wash away the bad taste, but it still remained a little "yuck!"

Kagome giggled at the girl's crinkled up face "that's what I think when I have to take it" she took the lid and put it back on the bottle before taking the cup of water and putting everything away "okay, now we just need you to sleep and everything should be good come morning. Well better than they were before"
