And I thought what I felt was simple

Kagome roamed the halls of his massive home, touching the old walls as she walked. The demons stayed away from her but she didn't miss their glances. Suddenly she felt really alone, but when she was met with the open gardens she quickly tossed her loneliness aside. Time alone was a good thing perhaps. The gardens were lush and green and full of flowers, no doubt Rin had something to do with that. There were a few trees, a few benches and a nice man or demon made a pond. Most of the garden was open, but there was a stone gate and she walked to it and pushed it open.

Everything was dead inside and Kagome instantly knew what she would do while she waited for him to return.

She went looking for woman who helped her the yester and found her carrying cloths "Pardon" Kagome said, the woman looked at her nervously,

"Um, If I wanted to plant stuff and such were would I got to find the tool?"

The woman dropped the cloth "You want to get dirty?!" She asked shocked,

Kagome blinked "Um?"

"Lady Kagome!" Kagome turned to see Rin running her way, thank the kami "Rin!"

The girls hugged and then Rin looked at the woman "I'll help her"

The woman bowed and picked the cloths and began to walk away "Lord Sesshomaru said you were here!"

"So I am, hey Rin do you want to help me?"

"Sure!"

Kagome told her what she wanted to do and Rin helped her find what she needed.

The demons of his home gathered and listened as a miko and a human child laughed behind a stone wall, and they all wondered just what they were doing. Rin and Kagome spent the day cleaning out leaves and raking but as the sun started to set the one woman came back and gathered Rin who went along respectfully, leaving Kagome to herself.

Kagome started to pull up weeds and dug with her hands, removing roots. She sat back when she was done and looked at her dirty hands, her thoughts went back Inuyasha and his claws. Tears started again, while she was good at putting on a face in front of others she was not so good at it when she was alone.

How could he just got to hell like that, with her and why was she left behind.

"Goodness woman!" The woman had come back "You are filthy!"

Kagome stood, her long sleeves were rolled up and her hair was bound in fabric, she wiped her face smearing dirt on her face.

The woman started to make a fuss and pushed Kagome out of the garden "You will go wash and fix your hair and quickly but then a new kimono on and make sure you clean your nails, if you want to garden you ask for help do not dirty yourself with such a task!" The woman kept ranting on as she pushed Kagome.

"But I don't mind doing it myself" She wanted to, it helped and it was a simple tash, at least thats what she thought.

The woman stopped "You like it?"!

"Sure why not?" She asked the woman, confused,

"Lord Sesshomaru would be most displease with us if he came to see you like that!"

"Like what?"

"Dirty like some human slave!"

Kagome blinked "It's ok really"

"Do you think of yourself simple?" The woman asked,

Kagome thought for a moment "Should I, arnt I?"

The woman shook her head, this girl was going to be the death of her she just knew it "No!" She snapped, then, started pushing again.
