Ayami was brushing her hair the next morning when someone knocked on her door. She knew who it was and she smiled.
'Kids. They can't wait to get moving in the morning.' Ayami thought.
"Come in." Ayami yelled.
A small child burst in and almost toppled over trying to get to Ayami. It was Rin. The little girl was jumping up and down in an excited fashion. She grabbed Ayami's sleeve and tugged on it.
"Are you ready to see the gardens, Ayami-chan?" Rin asked.
"Of course I am. I love gardens. And I bet you will give me a very nice tour of your gardens here. Just give me a minute to finish putting up my hair." Ayami answered with a laugh.
While Ayami put up her hair. Rin was sitting on her bed telling her what they were going to do that day. By the sound of it, Ayami had a lot to keep up with.
When Ayami finished, Rin grabbed her arm and pulled her to the door. Rin exited first, while Ayami followed. Ayami nearly plowed into Sesshomaru on her way out.
"Good morning, Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin said happily.
He nodded to Rin in return. He then looked at Ayami. She was dressed in a light green kimono with yellow and orange flowers on it. It was held up with an extremely light pink obi. She wasn't wearing makeup but her cheeks were rosy (she was remembering her and Sesshomaru's meeting the night before).
"Good morning, Sesshomaru" Ayami said, regaining her composure.
He nodded slightly. But no one could miss the love in his eyes. Ayami, spotting this, shot him a flirtatious smile.
She walked away happy. She knew she had caught Sesshomaru's eyes with the smile. She was about to head down the stairs when she realized Rin wasn't leading the way.
Rin was looking back and forth between Ayami and Sesshomaru. She was looking at them with eyes filled with knowledge that was beyond her years.
Rin and Ayami left to view the gardens while Sesshomaru went to attend to other matters. It took a couple hours to look through the gardens but they finally got through around lunch time. The two females went to clean up and go to lunch.
They went to lunch and for the first time that day, they saw Jaken. Sesshomaru was nowhere to be found, but since demons don't have to eat as much as humans, no one was all that worried.
Lunch was simple but good. They had chicken soup with garlic bread. There was also a salad and oatmeal spice cookies. After that, Rin showed Ayami around the other castle grounds. Since they didn't spend as much time to see the other grounds, Rin also started on the castle. They were about half way through, when they heard a bell………… (Just kidding). It was the dinner bell.
At dinner, Sesshomaru wasn't there. Jaken was irritated for some reason, making the entire of supper partially not enjoyable for everyone. But they all got through it and Ayami got cake for dessert again. That lightened the mood a bit. After supper, Rin said 'Good night' to Jaken who just blew it off while Ayami waited for her.
They walked up to Ayami's room to say good night.
