From Me To You…I’m getting there, nearly about to fix everything. I hope everything is to your liking. As I stated before, I’m going to try and keep everyone in character, but they most likely will be out of character. So if you aren’t liking it, stop reading. It’s not that hard to do.

************************************************

Kagome slowly stepped her way out of the woods only to be greeted by drowning rain. ‘Ugh, I just had to forget my umbrella. Oh well, I’ve come this far. Might as well keep going.’ She approached the monstrous doors cautiously and stretched out a hand to open them. Suddenly she gave a gasp and pulled her back close to her chest as those same doors seemingly opened on their own. ‘Dammit Kagome’ she chided herself. ‘There’s no need to be scared at a time like this.’ She leaned into the doorway a little, looking around for anyone who could’ve opened the door, and slowly started her way inside.

“Hello?” an echo greeted her back. ‘Shippou was right. This place is humongous.’ She continually walked down the hallway that looked to go on forever. The walls were plastered with what she guessed to be family portraits, dating back many generations. The frames themselves were beautifully gilded. They looked like they were made of solid gold. The portraits were so beautiful, and were so well painted they almost seemed like they were photographs. She was so lost in the beauty of her surroundings, that she did not notice a pair of tiny brown eyes following her every move.

*************************************************

Sesshoumaru watched from his window as she made her way into the front doors. He was amazed as they opened on their own. They’ve never done that before…

*************************************************

Rin peered through the closed slits of closet doors as she recognized the beautiful lady she saw to be Kagome. ‘She’d be perfect for Lord Sesshoumaru! Plus, I already like her. She’s very nice. I hope she’ll stay here with us.’

*************************************************

Through the stench and the shadows, a hanyou’s ear perked up, his nose twitching as he breathed the intoxicatingly familiar scent. His eyes began to do something they haven’t in a long, long time. Fifty years or so give or take a few. His amber orbs began to well up.

“Oh no, Kagome…” he whispered.

**************************************************

Kagome just kept trekking through the halls of the castle. A home to a so called beast she had never seen. ‘Oh great, I think I’m lost.’ Just then, her stomach decided it was time to eat, again. She smacked her head with her hand, leaving a slight mark. ‘That’s right, I was so busy trying to get everyone else to eat and get to the castle, I forgot to eat.’

****************************************************

Rin was having fun watching Kagome wander around in circles. She almost thought she would turn the other way two hallways ago, but she didn’t. It was hard to stifle her giggles so as not to alarm Kagome, since she was hiding behind a large potted plant whose blooms hung low to the floor, she heard Kagome’s stomach once again grumble VERY loudly. ‘I think I should try and get her to follow me to the kitchen.’ Rin then ran into a hidden passageway almost directly behind Kagome so she could get ahead of her. Since Lord Sesshoumaru gave her the run of their home, she’d been able to find many hidden passageways that took her to various places in the castle. There was quite a few that led to her and Lord Sesshoumaru’s bedchambers. Those sometimes came in handy when she played hide-and-seek with Jaken. Well, she played while he got mad. A couple of turns more, and there! Rin was in front of Kagome in no time.

****************************************************

Kagome came around another corner completely convinced now that she WAS lost, when she saw a little girl ahead of her. She looked familiar, but she couldn’t place where she had seen her before. ‘Is she waving at me?’ Then she turned and started running from her. Kagome took off after the girl, the cool water droplets remaining in her hair and on her clothes were starting to make her shiver.

“Wait! Come back!”

‘Well, I hope we go someplace warmer.’

****************************************************

Jaken watched the two silly females in his Lord’s castle. He thought at first to jump out and scare the taller girl until Rin jumped out in front of her and the two started running towards the kitchen. ‘No, I think it better to catch these two dirty humans together, then get Lord Sesshoumaru. After he sees the trouble Rin has caused, AND brought another human into his home, he will get rid of them both. Ha, yes, I rather like that plan.’ And off he went after the two girls.

*************************************************

“Wait! Stop, please!” Kagome was panting now, trying to keep up with the little girl. You would think running after and fighting demons would have her in shape, but noooo. Of course not. The little girl stopped in front of a door where, once Kagome stood and took a deep breath, she found heavenly smells came from. It was at that moment that her stomach decided to grumble again, much louder this time ‘Okay, okay…I’ll eat.’ She walked in after the little girl.

As she entered she was overwhelmed by all the delicious aromas of the feast before her. There were meats, vegetables, breads, drinks and desserts of all kinds, everywhere. A simple “Wow” was all she could manage to get out.

“Lady Kagome, why don’t you sit down and I will get you a plate?”

Kagome turned to the voice behind her. “Rin-chan! What are you doing here?”

The child cocked her head to one side, “What do you mean? I live here. With Jaken, Ah-Un, and my most favorite person in the whole world!”

‘Please no…Let it be some other taiyoukai…Someone who just happened to capture little Rin here and Jaken, and taken them away from him…’

“Lord Sesshoumaru!” She exclaimed with a giggle. “This is Lord Sesshoumaru’s castle, and it’s the only real home I’ve ever known.”

‘Oh crap.’ Kagome wilted where she stood.

“What would you like to eat Lady Kagome? We have plenty of food here.” Rin was on the tips of her toes, eager to please the female in front of her.

“Um, Rin,” she licked her lips “I don’t think I’m so hungry right now. Maybe I should get back to my friends outside, they’ll be worried about me.”

“Ah hah!” Jaken jumped out of his hiding place, pointing his finger accusingly. “I knew it! I knew you would bring her here! Just wait until I tell Lord Sesshoumaru!” and with that, he was off and running with glee having caught the two human girls.

“Rin-chan, I have to get out of here. Do you know the quickest way?”

“Hai. There are secret passages aplenty in the palace. Are you sure you want to go before eating?”

Kagome's stomach grumbled again, and she placed her hand over it.

“Definitely.” With that as her final answer, Rin took Kagome through one of the passageways in the kitchen, hoping that it led them close to the entrance of the castle.

***********************************************

Jaken half ran half skipped through the hallways cackling, hoping to run into Lord Sesshoumaru before that wench child found him.

***********************************************

Kouga had to stop several times to scent out Kagome. He had to hurry, her scent was fading in the growing wind. ‘Damn that mutt. If he would only get out of the way and leave Kagome to me.’ He started to growl in frustration, and took off again.

“Kouga!”

“Wait!”

The two fading voices were never heard by the Northern Lord.

***********************************************

“R-Rin-ch-chan, can we s-stop somewhere so I c-can w-warm up? I am freezing c-cold.” Kagome said through chattering teeth.

“Sure Lady Kagome. One more turn, and we’ll be in the library. It has a large fireplace that would be perfect.” The little girl smiled and continued to lead Kagome down the dimly lit hallway.

“O-okay.” Kagome rubbed her arms to get some kind of warmth into them. She couldn’t wait to get in front of the fire. ‘I didn’t know castles in the Feudal Era had hidden passageways too.’ All thoughts of possibly running into Sesshoumaru were washed away when she began to shiver in her cold clinging clothing. She needed to get warm, and fast. Her already pert nipples were poking through the front of her blouse. It caught by anyone else, she might just die of embarrassment.

************************************************

Inuyasha started growling low and constant, his hands forming fists and his claws piercing into his palms drawing droplets of blood. Kagome was in his bastard brother’s castle, she was in danger, and he had no way to help her. If only he could get out of this damned cursed cell.

************************************************

The pouring rain and howling winds had finally stopped, and predawn light was beginning to break from the horizon. The kitsune and cat-demon had snuggled together during the night, and the taijiya had found that the monk’s hand had made its way around her waist. She smiled inwardly, and tried to find a more comfortable position without waking him and risking him moving his hand to unwanted places.

Miroku was already awake and sneaked an eye open at the demon slayer. He was enjoying her discomfort and grinned. She tried to move without risking waking him up, so he moved his hand a little lower, and started snickering. Unfortunately, Sango heard him, and…

“HENTAI!!!” She slapped him a hard one on his cheek, his head bouncing on the ground. His snickering turned into a giggle, and then into laughter.

“Dammit Miroku.”

Suddenly Miroku sensed a demon coming their way and immediately sat up.

“Sango?” She was already up, sensing the demon as well. They both looked around for their other female companion as well as the smaller two.

“Oh no. You don’t think?”

“That she went in? If I know Kagome-sama, then yes, I think she did.” Miroku summed up. They got up and braced themselves for the oncoming demon, Sango with her weapon at the ready, and Miroku gathering his beads ready to let loose his wind tunnel.

***************************************************

Kouga knew he was getting close, her scent was getting stronger and seemed to be everywhere. ‘Just hold on Kagome. I’ll be there soon to protect you and take you back home.’

**************************************************

When Sango and Miroku saw the tornado that was the customary signature of Kouga the wolf demon, they settled back down. It wasn’t just some demon that snuck up on them. It was just the annoying pain in the ass that was named Kouga.

The wolf demon stopped just short of the little traveling group, and not seeing the love of his life, demanded, “Where’s Kagome? Where is she dammit? That mutt is of no use to her. He can’t protect her like I can. Hand her over!" Seeing as his love was nowhere in sight, he started to panic. "Has some demon got her? WHERE IS SHE!?!” His barrage of questions came at them so quickly, they could only decipher one.

Sango stepped in front of him and grabbed his arms to try and get him to make sense. “Hold on a second Kouga. Take a deep breath and slow down. We only just noticed Kagome gone. We figured she went into the castle sometime during the night.”

“Then let’s go in.” He started walking towards the massive palace overgrown with roses.

“Wait a minute, we’re not even one hundred percent sure she did go into the castle. For all we know, she could be looking for breakfast.” Miroku attempted to calm the wolf, which was no easy feat when it came to Kagome.

“If she doesn’t show up soon, I’m going into that castle.” Kouga huffed out and sat down in front of the burning embers.

“I agree. We shall all go.” Sango exchanged glances with Miroku. They were beginning to worry that breakfast was definitely not the case.
