The Stamp Of Gold
This Old Man
By Pwalefriend

Kagome stood back, looking at the finished product. It had taken them a week, and they had worked from the outside in, which had meant that they were always having to re-sweep and mop, but the mansion was finally livable…in…one side. No one really wanted to go in the other side yet. It probably had to do with the fact that to clean up they had realized that some of the floors had to be taken out. They really had no idea how they were going to fix that side, and there was some talk about asking a demon to guard it so that no one could get in.
"Why would you want something like that?" Kagome had asked a group of servants when she first heard them talking about it. They had given her odd looks.
"So that when we're old and gray we can send our grandchildren on a quest to reclaim the mansion and we'll get some amusement before we die." They had answered.
As much as Kagome knew that this was wrong and probably would only end in tears she had to admit…it sounded like a pretty good idea. One of the setbacks though was that they would have to build an extension in that case because there were too many of them. The mansion was like a community (and most of the employees either knew to much or could deal some nasty curses) so firing anyone was out of the question. Kagome, Sango and Miroku had discussed it and realized that they just didn't have the resources. Koga and Kanna had flat out refused to take any part in an extension.
"I remember this place before the mansion was built." Koga had said. "I don't want to lose any more land just because the servants want to play a little game."
"That's good running land you'd be building it on." Was all that Kanna would say on the matter. Everyone assumed that she was referring to the horses.
Inuyasha simply didn't understand.
"Extension?" He had asked when Miroku had brought it up to him one afternoon. Inuyasha had been badly damaged in the fire and even after a couple days he was still confined to his tent. Orders from Kaede, who had been wheeled in to see him in her brand new wheel chair (which had been found abandoned at the train station very conveniently, courtesy of the Elementals).
"Why would we need an extension?" Asked Inuyasha. Miroku sighed and gave it up then, he really didn't want to explain.
"I don't know." He said with a shrug. "It was just a thought."
But now it was done…it was complete…until they started to fix it again but that could wait until the Lord and Lady returned home with the children and they were able to access the bank account again. Apparently Lord Sesshomaru hadn't trusted his younger brother, Lord Inuyasha, with the finances and none of their economic resources could be used at them moment. And it wasn't as if the situation was unbearable. It would be quite alright, if a little cramped when it came to sleeping space.
"Mr. Myoga! Mr. Myoga!" Some servant children shouted, running past Kagome. Kagome turned away from her examination of the cleaned mansion and watched them run by her. She looked up in the direction they were running in and saw a rickety cart coming down the hill towards the mansion. One of the towns men, Kagome recognized him as the carpenter who had shown up to fix one of the horses' stall a few weeks ago, was driving what, at first glance, appeared to be a medium sized potato sack. But when the potato sack nimbly leapt from the wagon and threw out it's arms to embrace the children Kagome came to the startling realization that it was not a potato sack but was instead an old man. His hair was white as the moon and he wore it in the old style, like a cat. As the group came level to Kagome, she saw that he had a kind face and twinkling benevolent eyes.
"Huh? Mr. Myoga?" Sango muttered, coming up behind Kagome. "What's he doing here?"
But Kagome paid her no mind. Something that Myoga had just said caught her attention.
"Now, where is that idiot nephew of mine? The one with the dust for brains?"
Kagome smirked. There was only one man who this Mr. Myoga could be referring. Well, actually there were three but neither of them had an uncle, and that was something that Kagome knew for a fact. That left Inuyasha.
Kagome had a feeling that she was going to like this man.
