Chapter 6
The Lord Marshal left the three that followed him over to his side of the castle. Kagome stood by her uncle while Kikiyo and Inuyasha stood together. After settling down and taking their seats the lord Marshal deiced to begin by asking Kagome, "So why has my brothers mate scent you, is there something she needs?"
"No, my mother is no longer with me. Her own sister had her killed by the wolf demon prince and I was promised to him." Kagome answered
"No nice of mine will marry a wolf, what is the bitches name." The Lord Marshal growled
"The woman that did this, that promised me to a wolf, was Kikiyo's mother. She told me once I was gone that she would have her daughter rule in my place." Kagome replied
"Kikiyo do you know anything of this?" the Lord Marshal growled
"No, I was banished for not listening. I broke some rules but I had no idea." Kikiyo answered, 'Stupid bitch will pay once I get her alone.' she thought.
"What do you whish to do now." He asked
"I whish to rest up and stay here and return back home with Kikiyo." Kagome answered
"You can't take her! She's my mate!" Inuyasha yelled out
"Inuyasha!" Kikiyo scowled
"You will not take such tone! You two are not mates yet!"
The Lord Marshal yelled out but before he could add anything else Kagome said, "Then you will join us when we leave or be left behind. Oh and Kikiyo I would like to have a word with you after I speak with my uncle in privet."
"Yes my lady, come my love we must go and see to my lady's cloth." Kikiyo said as she stood off and pulled him away.
"You must really hate her." Her uncle stated.
"I do…I don't want to rule alone. I'm frightened by the idea. What if I'm not good enough?" Kagome confused.
"You'll do fine. If you're anything like my brother you shall be a strong leader." He reassured her.
"I'm hoping you would come with me just until those damn wolves back off." Kagome stated.
"I'll see what I can do, now go and get some cloth. I need to hand you something later after we eat." He stated as he stood up.
"Thank you but where can I find Sango?" Kagome questioned
"Kikiyo will take you or would you like it if I show you." He replied
"I would like it if you take me. I can't be near her now." Kagome replied
"I understand…follow me." He said.
Kagome followed close by him down the halls. She couldn't believe how well built this place was and how busy it was. Every two or four steps a servant would take a quick bow and run off. They reached a huge door and Kagome walked in and found Sango looking at some dresses while this other girl was checking the length of the cloth.
"I trust my Lady will get my nice some cloth that will sute her." The Marshal sadi to let himself known
"We will now go to Lord Sesshoumaru, he want to speak with you." The short girl said
"Yes my Lady Rin…I shall see you all at dinner." He said before walking out
"Uh, Sango…I'm not use to wearing all the formal shit." Kagome said.
"Well get us to it, now change into this and take that off." Rin ordered
"Yes Lady Rin." Kagome said as she took the gown and changed behind some doors.
"See you don't look bad at all." Rin said as Kagome came out from behind the doors in a black and red gown they had given her.
"Thank you, but I would like to go to my room. I'm tried." Kagome said
"Fine then we'll choose all your gowns." Sango said happily with a grin
"On second thought I'll wait till after we eat to rest." Kagome sighed as she walked over to the two.
After a while of choosing enough gowns and some to sleep in Rin, Sango and Kagome all walked to the dinning hall. On their they saw that Inuyasha, Kikiyo and Sesshoumaru were already seated. She looked around and noted that her uncle was not. But as if reading her thoughts Lord Sesshoumaru said, "He will be here shortly. Just take a seat."
"Inuyasha…where's the stupid monk?" Sango asked
"Don't know." was his short answer.
Before Sango could take another step she froze where she stood. Kagome turned around and saw her friends face a bright red and her eye was twitching. But before she could ask what was wrong she turned around and hit a tall man wearing black and violet robes, while yelling, "You stupid perverted Monk!"
"Sango…my dear you know how my hand is possessed by evil. I could not control it." He stated as he picked himself off the floor.
"Miroku if you do that again I'll…" Sango began but was interrupted when Kagome growled out; "Touch her where she doesn't want to be touched again and I'll cut your damn hand off." while showing her weapon
"Calm down, he is harmless I assure you." A familiar voice said
Kagome turned around and found her uncle standing with a woman. The women had black hair, purple eyes, wore a purple and white gown from what Kagome could see. She also held a fan in her hands but she could tell that it was not like the ones she used. It was harmless.
"Kagome…don't worry I can take car of myself." Sango said slowly
"Uncle you is this?" Kagome asked, 'I don't like her aura or smell. She has the same scent that my father had before he died.' She thought
"Kagome this is Kagura. She is my mate." He answered
"It's nice to meet you." The woman said as she bowed.
"What kind of demon are you?" Kagome asked
"Kagome!" her uncle yelled
"It's alright, I'm a wind witch." Kagura answered
"Well shall we all take a seat to feast?" Rin said not wanting an agreement to start up.
Kagome nodded her head and took a seat next to Sango and her uncle. The meal was quiet up until Kagome stood up and said, "Excuse me but Kikiyo it's time we talk." before walking out and not bothering to wait. Kikiyo told Inuyasha to wait there before he got a chance to get up. After her words were said she caught up to Kagome and said, "Where will we talk?"
Kagome however said nothing and just continued walking. Kikiyo remained quiet up until they reached the garden. Once there she placed a barrier up so that no one could hear what they were talking about. Kikiyo then turned and face Kagome before saying, "So your alive, I thought my mother give you to the stupid wolves."
"I refuse to go with them, besides I do have to get my land back." Kagome hissed out
"Ha, you think you can. I've been lying to these fools since I got here! I even got that pathetic stupid half breed to fall in love with me." Kikiyo mocked.
"You think you've won! Ha, I'm stronger now that you didn't even notice when I removed your barrier and placed my own up." Kagome spat out.
"I don't believe that, you were always weak and you'll always be weak." Kikiyo spat back
"Fine then…try and leave." Kagome challenged.
"Kikiyo turned around to walk away only to be thrown back onto the floor by Kagome's barrier. Kikiyo looked at her cousin with anger and hate in her eyes. Kagome merely grinned and said, "Told you…now go back to your 'love' and say that I went to bed. Try anything to any one and I'll kill you myself." Kagome hissed before lowering her barrier and running off.
'Little bitch.' Kikiyo thought as she did what she was told. 'She will pay…she doesn't know it but I will rule and she will be nothing but dirt under my feet by the time I'm finished with her.' She thought just before entering the dinning hall. "Kagome has gone to bed to rest. She said she will see you all in the morning." Kikiyo said before sitting down.
"But she was not shown to her room at all." The Lord Marshal said.
"Sango and I showed her her room when we were done. It lies next to lord Inuyasha room" Rin explained
"If you'd like I will go and check on her before I go to bed." Sango offered
"And I will help Sango." Miroku said
"Touch her in any way and I will see to it that your manhood is ended." The Lord Marshal said
"Yes sir." Miroku replied in a frightened voice
"Inuyasha, I'm tried would you walk me to my room." Kikiyo stated, 'They did that just to anger me! I'll get them for this.' she thought angrily
"Of course…excuse us." Inuyasha sad as he stood up with Kikiyo
After they had finished eating Sango and Miroku went to check on Kagome. Sango was worried and Miroku was quiet. After walking in silence for awhile Miroku deiced to speak up, so he asked, "What is brothering you? You look upset."
"Nothing…I'm just thinking." was her short answer
"Are you sure...you seem to be worried about something." he added as he stopped her in mid walk.
"I'm sure…I'm just worried about her, she's like a sister to me." Sango confused before walking again.
Once Sango reached her room she knocked before entering the room. Once she opened the door she walked in and found Kagome standing in the balcony just staring off into the sky. Kagome turned around to see who it was that had entered her room and saw Sango. She gave a weak smile before turning back to the evening sky. Sango let out a small sigh before walking over to her. Once she reached her she asked, "What's wrong?"
"I…I'm just tried but I can't sleep her. Not with that bitch so damn close." Kagome confused as she walked back into her room.
"How about I stay here just until you fall asleep?" Sango offered
"Thanks but I'm guessing you have a long day tomorrow. I'll mange, night Sango and thanks." Kagome said as she got into bed.
"Night." Sango replied before going to her room.
Kagome laid awake for most of the night. She had managed to get some sleep but was constantly awaken by nightmares of sounds that would remind her of her parents' death. So after constantly being awaken and not being able to sleep she stood up and got into the haroi that she had yet to return before getting up on the roof to watch the sun raise.
Inuyasha was woken up by the noise that came form the roof. He dressed in his pants only before walking over to the balcony. He looked around and found no one. Before he could look up he heard a voice say, "Sorry if I woke you." Inuyasha looked up and found Kagome just staring at the slow emerging colors of the sun raise.
Inuyasha leaped up and took a seat next to Kagome. That's when he noticed that her legs were mostly espoused and so were her arms. She was still wearing his haroi. Once Kagome felt his sight on her she blushed and said, "Sorry but I feel more comfortable in this. But I'll go change so that you have the rest of your cloth." Kagome said as she moved to get up.
"I don't mind if you wait awhile longer. But I would like it back soon." He stated.
"I'll go and change." Kagome said as she got up.
"Whatever…just hand it over I'll be in my room." He growled, 'Why does she look like so much like Kikiyo.' he thought
Kagome went into her room and got dressed. 'What's wrong with me, why couldn't I just tell him to leave me alone?' She hissed at herself as she changed. After getting changed she crossed thought he balcony and handed him his haroi while asking, "Is Kikiyo up right now?"
"No, she doesn't wake up until later but your uncle should be at the court yard training right now." Inuyasha answered as he took his haroi back.
"Does he train alone?" she asked
"No, but he should barely by warming up." Inuyasha replied
"Thank you Inuyasha…I shall leave you to your duties." Kagome said as she walked over to the balcony to go back to her room.
Kagome crossed over and exited her room. As she was walking down the halls she ran into Kagura her uncles mate. Kagome bowed and said, "Good morning Kagura…did you sleep well?"
"Morning…I slept fine. I only hope you slept as well as I did. Where are you off to?" Kagura asked
"I slept fine…I'm off to find my uncle…do you know where he is?" Kagome asked
"Well I should only hope he is eating. Would you like to join me for breakfast? I am sure he will be there." Kagura said.
"Very well then." Kagome sighed out.
The walk was quiet for the two. The both of them reused to say a word. Once they entered the dinning hall they found Sango and Miroku both barely seating while the lord and lady made their way out. Kagome sat by Sango and Said, "Morning Sango…have you seen my uncle?"
"No, sorry but once we're done how about you and I go and train. I want to see how well you were trained." Sango said.
"O.k., you and Miroku can test me. I don't want to train unfairly." Kagome replied
"Would you like me to tell you uncle that you were looking for him then?" Kagura asked.
"yes, if you wouldn't mind." Kagome answered
"I don't mind, I have to speak with I either way." She replied.
"Sango my dear, how about the both of us go to the spring and wash each others back after words." Miroku said with a perverted grin.
"Monk watch your self." Sango hissed
""let's jut hurry up and eat." Kagome said
"Oh, will lady Kikiyo be joining you?" Kagura asked
"I don't think so." Kagome stated coldly. 'What the hell is this bitch up to?' she thought.
Soon all four of them began eating. Just as they all got up to leave Inuyasha and Kikiyo walked in while they left. Kagome told Kikiyo if she wanted to train with them that they'd be at the court yard before the three of them left.
