You say I talk so all the time so.
His home was very, very big,
"You live here"
"It once held many"
"Sesshomaru, whatever happened to your mother"
"She is around"
That was news to her. The place was quiet, beautiful.
"You will find many demons here, generations offering their service to my family"
"Wow"
Wow indeed,
"They will not harm you, but do not seek to make friends here miko, they are not as trusting, you are a threat"
That stung "I won't hurt anyone"
"They do not know that"
"Then tell them"
"I will tell them you are here as my guest, nothing more"
She rolled her eyes but followed him as he entered. No one spoke to him, they just went about their doing, but there were glances.
"Your room will be here" He paused,
"Where is your room"
He rose an eyebrow at her "Wish to warm my bed miko?"
"Whats?" She said shocked "Wait, are you making jokes?"
"Then do not ask such personal question miko, where my room is, is none of your concern"
"What if I need you?"
She put her hand up quickly "Nevermind, don't answer that"
"Wise choice miko"
"Bath?"
"You can share the servant bath house"
A maidservant can and bowed,
"Show her around"
"Yes Mi Lord"
"Where are you going"
He glared at her
"Right, nevermind"
Kagome followed the servant, she sighed heavy, everything hurt and her sadness rushed over the demon woman in front of her. The woman took her to a wood door and slid it open "This is the women's, it is well kept as you can see"
Kagome nodded "Um, thank you"
"You wish to wash yes?"
She was covered in dirt, mud and blood"
"Yes"
"Fine, go on, no one is here now, might I suggest we keep it that way"
Kagome nodded remembering Sesshomaru's words. The woman allowed Kagome in and closed the door.
Kagome was alone, lonely, afraid, sad, and it was washing over the whole home. Outside the woman stood guard and took a deep breath, not that she would every question her Lord but she wondered why the girl was here.
Her sadness was suffocating, she feared what it felt like when the girl was mad, she knew she was a miko and a strong one at that.
Kagome washed slowly, removing the dirt and blood from her hair, no time to relax, she didn't want to take up the place. She robed, and ran her hands across her uniform, it was dirty and torn and she had no reason to wear them. She opened the door to the bath and held her close tight to her chest "Um"
"Follow me" Kagome followed the woman back and she counted the doors,
The woman opened her door "Here"
She stepped in and the door slammed behind her which made her jump. She turned to asked about clothing but the woman was gone now. The room was basic but nice enough for her. The bed looked nice, it wasn't just a plain mat on the floor. It was a fluffy large mat with fluffy coverings and furs, pillows and sheets. There was a clothing wardrobe, a table with a wash bowl and a vanity set.
Two large farmed them bed, and both had built-in seating. Kagome walked to the bed and saw the miko clothing, she didn't want to wear that, but what choice did she have.
Tears slipped down her face in a silent cry.
The old woman could feel a rush of heartbreak and rushed To her Lord. SHe knocked, opened the door to the study room, bowed, walked in and closed the door.
"She has washed" He asked,
"Yes"
"She is free to do as she pleases within reason"
The woman swallowed "My Lord"
He looked up,
"I mean not to speak out, but, does she not know how to contain herself?"
"She likes to talk" He said,
"No, no, I mean I can't breath"
Oh,
"I will talk to her, it has been a long day"
She sighed "She did not say much"
"Are we talking about the miko I left in your care?"
She looked around "There is more than one?!"
"No"
She relaxed "Anything else my Lord"
"Nothing, leave"
The women ran from the room to tell the others while he rose to go back to Kagome.
He opened the door to find her sitting in one of the window seats, miko clothing and all, now she looked her part. Her cheeks where stained, "Has death rendered you speechless"
She didn't look at him or speak,
"Finally the miko is silent, you are defeated miko? Naraku may be dead, but he is still winning"
She looked at him this time "I can't be silent?"
"You are incapable of that I am sure"
Wasn't she?
"Do not forget miko, I can read you, while I may be used to you, others are not"
She closed her eyes and tried to reel in her emotions, she didn't do a very good job.
"I am leaving but will return soon"
"What I am to do?"
"Whatever you wish"
"Cant I come"
"No"
"Why"
"You talk to much, and I am not your keeper nor your companion"
He was right, not like she could follow him around "You will find something to do miko"
She was sure she could,
"Do you wish for something"
She was surprised, he was offering to bring her something if she needed? "I haven't any money" She had no need up until now,
"Do not insult my person miko, do you wish for something?"
She could not think "Different clothes, or is that insulting"
"Want miko, not a need, I am aware of your needs"
She looked out the window "Nothing you can give"
She was not greedy, unlike most humans, he stood there.
"Suprise me" She said,
He slid opened the door and left.
