Chapter 10
The List
Sitting behind a low wooden desk on a cushion she knew to be the old lord's. Kagome sat with and ink quill in her hand glaring at the parchment like it was her arch nemesis.
When she arrived in the study she knew it would be difficult organizing this room. Papers where strewn about everywhere and the books on the selves needed a good dusting, apparently the old lord did not read. The desk where she now sat at was covered in papers. She knew it would take forever to catch up, and time was something she did not have enough of.
She knew she had a lot to do in order to establish herself as the Lady of these lands. She figured making a list of the most important things to do would be the easiest way to organize and get done quickly. That was how the glaring all started. She was racking her brain trying to decide what was most important to put as number one.
She knew what had to be done and how to do it, but she was at a loss as to where to start. She knew it had to be done, and fast.
She knew rumors of the lord's death could cause problems with the neighboring lords, and those who aspired to become the new lord themselves. This she could not allow to happen, the lives of her friends were on the line. Even the life of a once enemy who had saved her life on more then one occasion. Now was her chance to repay her debt. So with that thought she began her 'to do list'.
'To Do' List :
1) Write a letter to the neighboring Lords informing them of Lord Taski's demise. And introduce myself as his successor. I will have to meet them…
Immediately after writing it down she realized the implications of what she had to do. She just hoped that Sesshomaru did not recognize her when they finally met. Now instead of glaring at the whole parchment paper she was glaring at a single line 'I will have to meet them'. With a sigh of resignation she began to write down the next thing on her 'to do list'.
2) Get the palace under total control. Guard posts, army, etc.
'I need to make sure the guards stationed in my new palace are trustworthy and loyal.' Treason was not something she wanted to deal, there was too much going on as is.
3) Make it known to the people of the Eastern Lands that they have a new ruler.
If I expect people to follow me they must first know of me. 'I have a few good ideas that will help in this department.' Kagome thought.
4) Secure the Lands from threats to my rule.
'I need to patrol the lands to make sure no mindless youkai was terrorizing any of the villages in the Eastern Lands.' Kagome thought after she wrote that line.
5) Observe the quality of fighters I have at hand, and train them if need be.
'I have to go to the training dojo and observe the training of the warriors to make sure they are capable of fighting and protecting themselves. Also I need to group them according to skill, etc.' she thought whilst writing number 5.
6) Find out the inner workings of the palace. Servants, cooks, etc.
'I need to make sure the 'cabinets' are full. We could not deal with the possibility of the peopling starving, if the source of the food dwindled in the middle of a blizzard or something.' she thought with boredom.
7) Get this damn palace scrubbed clean of Taski's scent. (order servants to do it)
'His scent is offensive to me.' she thought with a groan
8) Go through what ever paper work I can find to see how he was faring with the lands. To see if there is anything that needs attention immediately.
'I need to find out how behind he was in his 'lordly' work, so I can start on the next task.' she thought irately.
9) Have new kimonos made. So I will also need to talk to my tailor.
As a woman of royal stature I must dress the part. This she knew all to well.
10) Learn the layout of the palace.
'I need to make sure no one can sneak up on me during my private time. Secret passages I don't know about could prove a disadvantage to me.' she thought with a sigh.
11) Have a stiff drink when all this is done.
When she finished jotting down her list she began to think about how she would have to meet the other lords 'I am happy I am a good actress. All those years of acting for my friends in the modern age will actually pay off in the end.'
Stifling a yawn she began her letter to the other Lords.
