Chapter 6:

Kagome woke up the next morning looking around at her surroundings, stunned at what she was seeing. She began to panic when she did not recognize the stone walls. Right as she was about to freak out, memories of the night before drifted into her head, calming her.

"Where am I?" She asked out loud, her voice causing the sleeping kit next to her to stir, but not wake.

'Red Sheets?' She thought to herself studying the sheet carefully, half expecting this all to be a dream.

She was about to lay back down and sleep some more when a soft knock came from the door.

Groaning softly in a quiet protest to being forced to get up and out of the bed, but she stumbled to the door, pulling it open, a young servant girl waiting for her to appear. "Lord Sesshoumaru has instructed me to tell you to get ready then come to the dining hall."

Once she was done speaking, the girl turned and disappeared down the hall. Shutting the door, Kagome padded over to her bag, getting a change of clothes before taking a bath, allowing the steaming waters to wash away all the dirt from the day before, but it was also a chance for her to cry.

Kagome's soft sobbing didn't go unnoticed by the slowly waking kitsune. Blinking his large green eyes, rubbing sleep from them after a minute, he called out. "Ka-Kagome?" Climbing out of the bet he walked over to the bathroom door and gently pushed it open peaking inside, then he called out again. "Kagome?"

"In here." She replied, splashing water gently to indicate her location in the steamy room.

"May I join you?" Shippo asked shyly, not knowing how she'd react since she was so hurt by the stupid hanyou they once had been friends with.

"Of course." Kagome answered, listening to him wade into the water and over to her. "Lets get you cleaned up." She said and began to bathe him.

When she has successfully rinsed all the shampoo and conditioner from their hair and the body wash from their forms, Kagome climbed out of the hot spring like bath, wrapping a towel around herself, then handed one to Shippo before exiting the room.

Putting on another uniform, she helped Shippo into a clean change of clothes as well, proceeding to towel dry both their hair afterwards.

"Ready?" She asked with a loving smile.

"Ready!" He exclaimed happily, and couldn't resist leaping into her arms and hugging her before backing up and grinning.

Grinning at his hug, she stood up, then picked him up, before leaving her room to wander the halls. "Hmm..." She mumbled quietly, searching for anyone who could direct them in the right direction.

Finally a loud crash startled her from her searching and she moved towards it, finding a servant picking up the broken pieces of a vase. Rushing over to help she said, "Here let me help you." And began to pick up the shattered pottery, handing them over to the young servant.

"Oh thank you!" The servant spoke, dipping his head a bit. 'She's beautiful.' He thought, then introduced himself, "Im Thane."

Kagome eyed this 'Thane' guy for a minute after he spoke. He was cute, a bit older than herself, he had brown hair which only made his green eyes seem brighter than what they actually were. "I'm Kagome." She finally replied after she'd studied him.

Thane grinned and straightened up, "It's a pleasure to meet you." He stated kindly bowing once more to her.

Blushing a bit Kagome fidgeted a bit, "Um... Oh! Do you know where is the dining hall or room thingy is?" She said, stumbling over her words.

Nodding, the servant turned, "Right this way." He responded, leading her down the hallway, his green haze traveling up her pale legs to her short uniform, 'What strange clothing...' he thought at first then green at his next thought, 'Not that I'm complaining...'

Kagome could feel his gaze on her, and she shifted Shippo in her arms a bit, showing how uncomfortable she was a bit.

Coming to a stop in front of two large, dark wooden doors, Thane took a moment before pushing one open and holding it open to let her in first before following quickly.

The priestess gasped at the large, brilliant room that drug out endlessly in front of her very eyes. The next thing she noticed was a tall, silver haired figure lounging in one of the throne like chairs.

"Lord." Than stated clearly, drawing to gold orbs to the miko, even though it was the servant boy who had spoken.

Sesshoumaru was about to speak when he caught Thane's approving gaze swoop up and down the slim priestess' frame. A growl caught in his throat and he had to force it down into dormancy, 'Why should i care?' Despite his thoughts, the growl eventually became to strong, and seeped out through his mouth, finally escaping. Catching the message, Thane bowed, "Good day My Lord... Kagome." He said before bolting from the room, shutting the door behind him.

"Sit." Sesshoumau commanded, the sharp edge in his tone sent her sinking into a chair instantly. He growled out at a servant, then sifted through the paperwork in front of him, a low rumbling in his chest showing his annoyance. 'Damn where is it?' He thought, but then paused, finding a pair of wide, frightened chocolate eyes peering at him. That's when he finally realized his rumbling had turned into a full out snarl.

Correcting himself, the snarling becoming silent once again, then he straightened the papers, waiting for her to speak.

Kagome had been overcome by fear, but it had dissolved, replaced by annoyance. "Why did you call me here?" She demanded softly.

"Well..." He began, but paused, before continuing, "I want to know what you hope to gain by staying here." His voice was low, calm, and even, it's deep tone sending shivers down her spine.

"Nothing. I just need a place to stay because i refuse to stay with Inuyasha any longer." She spoke carefully, watching him stand and stroll over.

"I don't like keeping mere mortals in my castle, but I'll allow you to stay, but stay out of my way." He growled, "Because you'll find things here can be a lot worse for you than when you were with my worth hanyou brother."

Turning he grabbed his papers and walked away, leaving her glued to her seat, but he stopped. "If you need something that none of my servants can provide, I'll be in my study or room." With that he exited, leaving her to her thoughts.

"What an arrogant ass!" She grumbled loudly, getting up and storming out the doors. She had gotten ready only to be threatened?

Clenching her jaw tightly, she set Shippo down and began to lead him through the palace. Finally she found the library and browsed the books 'til she found a decent book, then she and Shippo retreated into the gardens, sitting in the shade below a large tree, enjoying the light, cool breeze that was blowing around them.

"It's not so bad here." She told Shippo, her mind wandering to her plan to get Inuyasha to chose her. If she got his older brother to show feelings toward her, it'd prove to Inuyasha how much better she was than that dried up whore. Right?

Not realizing how selfish she was being, she and Shippo began to form a plan, that to them seemed flawless at the time, when truly it was anything but flawless.
