Infirmary
Kagome jogged through halls, having no idea where she was going. If only she could find the main entry way, then she might be able to find her way back to the family wing. It was a good thing that Maiko was watching Katsurou, because it would be a while before she found her way back. The hallways all looked the same to her. Should she have taken that right a few corridors back?
Kagome stopped and sank against the wall. Her body hummed with energy. She waved her arms around trying to get rid of the fidgety feeling she had in her arms and legs. Why did he have to become so violent with her? The abusive youki had left her feeling dirty and slightly violated. Any other miko or monk would have sat for days under a cleansing waterfall trying their best to rid themselves of this youki. Unfortunately, she had no such luxury, and really she should get accustomed to this feeling anyway.
She scanned the doors in the hallway, trying to find some sort of direction.
Her eyes alighted on a sign next to a door: Infirmary. Ah perfect, perhaps something good could come out of this horrible morning, she thought.
Kagome carefully slid the shoji door back and peered inside. The room was rather large, and the floor was covered with pallets. The scent of medicine and herbs was strong in the air. How these youkai could stand the strong smell was beyond her.
There were ten soldiers in differing degrees of injury laid about the room. A female youkai, whose skin color appeared to be green, looked up from a patient to notice Kagome. She wore a simple beige kimono with an apron covering her front. She had soft brown hair that was braided down her back. Her eyes were a startling shade of green.
"My lady, are you injured?!" The healer exclaimed having noticed the blood stains on Kagome's chest.
"Oh, no I'm fine, actually I was wondering you could use any help? I have a lot of pent up energy, and I'd like to burn it off."
The healer and the patients looked at her in horror. Kagome quickly realized how that must have sounded.
She held up her hands in a sign of peace, "No, no, I mean I would like to help you heal these patients."
They all visibly relaxed.
The healer smiled rather condescendingly. "My lady, that is a kind offer, however your holy energy would only serve to harm these soldiers."
What was this youkai's problem? What did she ever do to her? Whatever she might have done to offend this healer, she certainly did not appreciate her attitude.
"I can assure you that I have done my fair share of healing youkai of all kinds. I know how to heal without causing harm."
The healer raised her nose up at her. "Very well, would any of you care to have the miko heal you?"
Kagome's heart sank as the soldiers averted their eyes and remained silent.
