        Jaroshi bow to his lord in understanding while never taking his eyes off the miko, unsure if she put a spell on the demon lord because no one ever was aloud in that room.

 

The last person was the Lady of the West but since her passing, no one went in there except the Lord of the house, so why was she so special to stay there?



Kagome was calming down some tears falling from her eyes "Jaroshi-san I am really sorry about the outburst it's just that Jaken and Rin where peace and joy to me and now that they are gone I don't know what to do.

 

However, that doesn't call for me to be mean to you; I was not raised to be like that so I hope you can forgive me. I'm Kagome by the way." Kagome said while she was drying her eyes with her sleeves but never dropped the eye contact with the guard so he knew she meant what she said.



To say he was shocked was an understatement the fact that she, a Miko the creature that thought that they were on the same level as kami, was apologizing to him, a horse demon, generally that insulted her, when she had every right to be pissed at him.

 

His thinking was stop when he heard her talking to herself. "Did I scare him to much that he won’t talk to me now?"



Kagome said as she looked at the guard as he was finely brought out of his thinking. "I'm sorry but you're the first Miko ever to actually apologize for almost killing me.

 

If you'll follow me I'll show you to the room you'll be staying in Lady Kagome." Jaroshi said as he led the way.



¡¡Kagome was looking around the hall as they went by the different sitting rooms, the study rooms then up the stairs to the fourth floor then down the western corridor.

 

"Jaroshi-san why is this corridor so broad unlike the others?" Kagome said as they entered the largest corridor in the house. At the end was a door that was formed from the ceiling to the floor as well as wide.



"Well this is the family corridor, guest aren't usually allowed to stay here and you get to stay here is kind of odd.

 

The reason the corridor is built like this is if Lord is in his true form he can move around without a problem of knocking down the paintings." He said as he turned to the door next to the large wooden door that had a giant inu engraved on it.



As they came to the other door it had two inu one that was half the size of the other one on the door sitting down, overlooking protective of the smaller inu that was laying on the its side.

"This will be your private chambers Lady Kagome a servant will come and take you to the dining room for midday meal." He said as he opened the shoji to her room, then left abruptly.



Kagome walked in to see a breath taking sight. In the middle of the room was a futon that was double the size of a typical king size futon, there was a mural on the opposite wall from the futon.

 

It was composed of a wide-open field with a clear blue sky, some birds flying and a full-grown sakura tree in bloom as well.



However, what got her was the way it looked. Like it was moving, the wind blowing and the birds looked like they could actually fly out of the painting to go out in the open air out the window the other shoji that led to the indoor hot spring.

 

The wall to the left of that one was a wall of glass with glass French doors that opened to a veranda that over looked the garden with many types of flowers as well as trees and the wall to the right of the mural had a full length mirror in between the silk screen and dark wood dresser.



The sound of the shoji opening made her turn to the person entering the room. It was a woman, a fox demon. She had red/brownish colored hair and tail. She had on a servant’s kimono. She bowed at the waist.

"Milady I am to get you ready for midday meal if you'll follow me please?" She said straightening up and moving to the shoji that led to a large indoor hot spring with real grass sounding the edge of the rock formation of the spring.

 

"My name is Kagome and please calls me by my name, what is yours?" Kagome said as she retrieved her bathing supplies form her bag.



"My name is Nina, lady Kagome." she said when she retrieved the strange bottles from the young miko's grasps so they weren't in the way. Nina motioned for the younger woman to strip, then took the clothes to get demolished.



After the bath Kagome wore a high-collared kimono, to show that she shouldn't be touched nor mated under the protection of the Lord of west, it was a dark blue kimono with a dragon etched in gold that curved around the body and an ivory fang wedged in its chest.



"The kimono is a story of the defeat of Ry¨±kotsusei when InuTaish¨­ came out the victor." Nina said as she helped with the outer kimono then moved to do her hair in a half up half down style.

 

As they left the room, it took Kagome a couple of tries and errors to get use to walking in a kimono, but once she got the hang of it with the help of Nina, they walked down the corridor.



The handmaid pointed out some rooms that Kagome could and could not go in to. The ones she could not go in to were either because she was a woman or not old enough in demon standards to be in that type of room.

 

There was a corridor that regardless of age or gender she was not allowed in it not even the guards allowed to be in there she had not given a reason as to why, but Kagome just nodded while following Nina to the dining room.



¡¡When they finally got to their destination, Kagome could not take her eyes off the sight before her. Of the demon lord pacing on a bloody floor and arguing with himself,

 

Not stopping until he caught the smell of sakura's blossoms with the underline of vanilla, he looked around to find the scent and found what he was in a disagreement with his other self.



'See this Sessh¨­maru told you she was going to come down here, now let this Sessh¨­maru out so I can speak with the girl.' 'No. Me want Female with me. Master wants Female gone. Female stay as long as I stay' He fought as he was making his way to the shell-shocked miko. All she could see was three dead servants on the floor, two decapitated and the other dismembered.



When he stood in front of her and did not get the attention he wanted he let out a low growl that snapped her out of thoughts, she smiled up at him then turned to the only servant in the room that was alive and bowed.



"Excuse me sir but can we have the midday meal delivered outside, so we are not in the way while you clean the um... mess?" Kagome said as she looked at the frozen shell of the servant who just nodded then left to inform the kitchen staff of the change.



Kagome turned to the inu lord. "Well since you made a mess in here we'll eat outside Okay? Besides it nice outside" She said as she grabbed his hand,

 

As Nina led the way to the garden, she took a short cut to where a table was now being set for midday meal. Nina left once everything was set.



"Miko why did you insist we eat outside when we could have eaten inside." Sessh¨­maru said half in control "Um well you went ahead and decapitated and dismembered the servants that where only there to set up the table for midday meal.



Now the others have to clean that up so we shouldn't be in their way we'll eat out here and besides fresh air is good for you, but I have a question for you." Sessh¨­maru nodded so she continued, "Why is there an extra plate, I mean I thought no one else was here?"



However, before he could answer a voice heard "Well my dear the reason for that is because I'm going to join you both for midday meal, hope you don't mind?"

 

The one who owned that voice looked like he could pass as Sessh¨­maru's twin brother but he was a little older than Sessh¨­maru.
