"Alright girls, stay right here while I go get you some clothes okay?" Sango told the girls once they were all clean.
"Ok!" They replied in unison, smiling like they usually did. Then with that, Sango left to go see if she could find anything small and feminine for the girls. After a short while the door to the washroom opened again, although it was who they were expecting to come back, Sango. "Kon'nichiwa Sango-san!" Rin told Sango with a smile on her face. How can these girls smile so much still after all they've been through? Sango though as she lifted both girls out of the tub and onto a towel. Then before she started to dry both of them off she quickly let the water start draining out through a hole in it.
She turned back to the girls and picked up a towel, wrapping Kagome's hair in it before doing the same thing to Rin. Then she started to dry off their bodies before putting their clothes on them. Although when she was drying the girls off, she found out that Kagome was very ticklish around her stomach and inner thighs just above her knees. Once both girls were dry Sango put a white shirt dress with green outlining and Kagome, and a white shirt dress with orange outlining on Rin. Satisfied with the way their clothes were, Sango unwrapped their hair and brushed it, putting Rin's back up, upon request from the little girl.
Sango them led them back to the lobby and said,"Stay right here and don't break anything alright you two?"
"Hai!" Kagome said smiling, although Rin just nodded, looking down at her dress still. Sango then walked off, looking for her Master or her Mistress to allow them to know she was done. She walked up to her Master's study and knocked on the door. After receiving a,'Come in!' She did so. "I am done bathing the girls."
"Are they in clean clothes?" Inutaisho asked.
"Yes, my lord."
"Has their hair been brushed?"
"Yes, my lord."
"Good. Then take Kagome to Inuyasha's room and Rin to Sesshomaru's."
"Yes, my lord. Anything else that you wish for me to do afterwards?"
"Continue on with your daily tasks."
"Yes, my lord."
"You are dismissed." Then without saying anything else to Inutaisho, Sango left to do her master's orders. She stepped out in front of the girls and said,"Come along you two." Then she continued walking, not receiving a response from the two she looked back to make sure they were following. Which they were silently. "How come you guys are being so quiet all of a sudden?" Sango asked curiously as she walked up the stairs slowly.
"There really isn't anything to talk about anymore." Rin replied while Kagome nodded in agreement.
"Ah. I see." Sango replied simply as she just kept going.
Once they reached Sesshomaru's room Sango stopped and knocked on the young master's door. "Bye Rin-chan!" Kagome whispered to her friend as she hugged her.
"See ya later Kagome-chan!" Rin responded, returning the hug before entering Sesshomaru's room. Then Kagome heard Sango say,"Next stop: Inuyasha-sama's room." Then Kagome followed Sango until they reached a large, wooden door. Sango knocked and after a moment the door opened with a faint creak. Inuyasha was on the other side and he grumpily said,"Whadda you want Sango?"
"Your father requested that I bring Kagome-sama here to your room, Inuyasha-sama." Sango said politely like she almost always did.
"Well, bring the brat in here then." Inuyasha replied, turning his back to head back in his room away from the door. Sango's eyes widened as Kagome started to become angry at the arrogant boy. She stomped in after him and said rather loudly,"My name is not brat!"
"Well don't you know everything?" Inuyasha replied sarcastically.
"No but I do at least know my name! It's Kagome!" Kagome shot back honestly.
"Whatever wench, just leave me alone and go play with your doll in the corner or something."
"He's not a doll. His name is Inu-chan and he doesn't like the way you're treating me. Isn't that right? Grr Ruff! Ruff! Grrruff! See?" Inuyasha's face was completely red with embarrassment at what the girl just said in canine. Sure she didn't actually know what she was saying but still, that was just completely wrong.
"D-don't do that again." Inuyasha managed to get out.
"What now Inu-chan's not allowed to speak?"
"No, don't try to speak canine."
"But that's the only language he knows!"
"So teach him Japanese!"
"But he's a dog!"
"So?"
"Dogs CAN'T speak Japanese!"
"Oh really? I'm a dog and I speak Japanese!"
"Yeah but- wait what?"
"I'm a dog demon. Name's Inuyasha if you never picked it up."
"Sugoi..." Then Kagome stared at Inuyasha with wide eyes, forgetting the reason she was even mad at him in the first place. Then she finally took a good look around the room. The walls were a lovely shade of cream with light brown trimming along the edge of the ceiling, which was very high up, and scattered along that walls as though it was trying to separate the different panels. The long curtains were a dark red which brought a nice color into the room. The room was being lit by several candles spread all throughout the room. Kagome then looked over to the bed, which was queen sized and had the same shade of red as the curtains did on the blankets and canopy thing above pillows were also cased with red but there were also a few gold pillows and white pillows that matched the cream-colored walls. Kagome then focused her attention up to see if she could find more windows that helped light the room. Which she did, and she also found, a balcony on the inside? "What's that for?" Kagome asked, pointing up at said balcony. Inuyasha smirked and asked,"You wanna know?" Kagome nodded. "Hop on my back."
"Okay." Kagome replied, before waiting for Inuyasha to kneel so she could get on. After Inuyasha made sure she had a hold on him and he had a hold on her, he jumped up, getting a surprised scream from Kagome. He flicked his ears back to muffle the scream, although it stopped altogether. The two landed on the balcony and Kagome then crawled off of Inuyasha. She saw a few slingshots and medium-sized pile of rocks, picking one of them up she asked, "What are these for?"
"I use them to mess with the servants." Inuyasha replied bluntly.
"Well that's not very nice." Kagome replied, looking at Inuyasha as though she was disappointed in him.
"No, but it's fun." Inuyasha replied, not seeing the way she was looking at him. Then Kagome picked up one of the rocks and struggled to load it onto the slingshot. Inuyasha noticed this so he stopped leaning against the railing and walked up to the girl, who was frustrated although she didn't show it, Inuyasha could just tell by her scent,"Here, like this." Then he grabbed her hand and moved it and the rock until they were in the correct place before moving his body behind her and aiming at a target that he had set up for practice. "Now try to hit the dot in the middle of the target." He instructed. After taking a moment to try to aim it, she fired, hitting the ring just inside the outer ring. She pouted before picking up another rock to try again. This time she missed the target completely and hit the wall behind it. "Whoops." Kagome muttered, which Inuyasha's heightened hearing pick up. "Wow, you have terrible aim." Inuyasha commented, false shock audible in his voice.
"I do not! I just need pwactice." Kagome replied before trying again. This time she focused, hard, on the middle of the target. She felt something kind of flow from her upper arm down through to her small fingertips which held the rock in place. Then she let go of the rock, sending it flying towards the center followed by a small pink trail of dust that even Inuyasha couldn't see. The rock hit the center with the help from the mysterious dust, earning a slight impressed expression to appear on Inuyasha's face for a second before it returned to its normal one. "Keh. You just got lucky." He said as he turned his back on her.
"Thank you for teaching me how to shoot one of these." Kagome said, facing him and smiling like she always did.
"Whatever." Inuyasha replied before the door opened, which he naturally ducked down like he always would when he was up on the balcony. Kagome just started to walk to the edge of the balcony so she could wave and say hello to the person who walked in. Although Inuyasha quickly grabbed her and pulled her right next to her, shushing her with a finger to his lips in a very well-known signal. Kagome nodded, letting him know with that, that she would stay quiet. Inuyasha then grabbed a slingshot from behind them and loaded it with a rock while grabbing a handful so they could both reload. He handed a rock to Kagome and signaled for her to follow him, which she also did, seeing what they were doing as a game.
Inuyasha crawled forward with Kagome right behind him and he stopped a few inches away from the edge of the balcony. Inuyasha turned his attention towards Kagome before whispering,"When I say san, we stand up and open fire got it?"
"Hai." Kagome said simply before waiting for Inuyasha to start counting while she prepared to stand.
"Ichi." Inuyasha started, both kids could feel excitement building up within them. "Ni." He continued, Kagome already, ready to spring up with her first shot. To Inuyasha she looked cute with that determined look on her face. He smiled very slightly which was different from his usual smirk. "San." The word rolled off of his tongue as they both sprang up and both pairs of eyes immediately searching out the target, which happened to be Miroku looking around for them. Kagome fired first, followed up by Inuyasha barely even half a second afterwards.
They continued to fire until they had run out of the handful of rocks that Inuyasha had grabbed. By this point Miroku knew he would have several bruises in the morning. There were rocks scattered around him as though someone just simply tossed some rocks in his direction not truly caring where they went. "I was coming in here to tell you two it's dinnertime but I guess you're both too occupied attacking everyone." Miroku stated, irritation slightly hidden in his tone of voice. Kagome felt and heard her stomach growl at the mention of dinner. Inuyasha also heard it so he quickly grabbed her by the waist and jumped down before Kagome even had a chance to scream or even process which direction she was going. Miroku simply just started to walk back out, knowing that Inuyasha and Kagome would follow.
