Chapter 6: Adjustments
Kagome was taking in the sight as Sesshomaru kept dragging her inside his castle. Over the years, he had always been traveling, for his father�s heirlooms, and now for Naraku, that he had barely made use of his castle. Since he had some guards, whom he could trust, he had decided it was the best place for the miko at the moment. Sesshomaru turned his head slightly, and saw her mouth slightly open as she took in the landscape around her. At least she was quiet for a change�

As soon as they reached the main doors, two guards were bowing to Lord Sesshomaru, both being careful not to let any emotions show, as they were both surprise by the guest. Kagome�s eyes grew wider as she observed the two inuyoukais standing by the doors. They were nowhere as imposing as Sesshomaru, yet they still didn�t make her feel comfortable.

She bit her lip nervously as they entered the castle. She probably would have taken a look at the priceless artifacts, and paintings around if he hadn�t sped up, almost dragging her body against the cold floor. When Kagome could finally open her eyes, she found herself standing in a gigantic dinning room. Sesshomaru finally let go of her hand, and walked ahead of her. Kagome rubbed her sore hand, as she remained still in her spot. Frankly, she was simply glad not to be in the same room as Sesshomaru for a while.

The peace and quiet didn�t last very long since a screeching scream came from the room next door. Kagome turned her head slightly only to see Rin running towards her, a huge smile on her face. �KAGOME!� she screamed before hugging Kagome�s waist.

Kagome gasped at the embrace before a small smile adorned her face. After everything that occurred, she had completely forgotten about Rin. She hugged back the little girl, and tried to put up a strong fa�ade for her. Rin was just a child, and she did not need to know the event that transpired between her and Sesshomaru. The little girl finally let go of her, and backed away slightly.

�Look at you,� said Kagome, her voice as joyful as possible, �you�ve grown so much since the last time I saw you.�

Rin blushed slightly before nodding her head. She couldn�t believe that Kagome was here! She had already been very excited when Jaken told her they were going to the castle for a few days, since she had only been there a few times, and now this. �Are you traveling with us now Kagome?�

Well that�s one way to put it. Kagome wasn�t sure how to answer Rin; she didn�t want to stay with Sesshomaru any longer, yet he had left her short on options. The well no longer worked for her, and unless her removed her bracelet, she was stuck in the Feudal Era. She opened her mouth, about to answer, but someone else did.

�Temporarily,� said Sesshomaru as he walked into the room. He would not bother himself with the miko any longer than he was required.

�Sesshomaru-sama!� said Rin, a huge smile on her lips, before slowly walking in his direction. The Lord nodded at her, his expression never changing. She did not mind since she knew how much he cared for her, and he didn�t need to express it with words.

Kagome watched the two standing beside one and another, and if it had been anybody but Sesshomaru, she would have thought of it as a cute sight. Although, she couldn�t deny how devoted and protective he was of Rin. She simply wished he could have this kind of respect for every human.

The silence of the room was broken by footsteps. Kagome was the first to turn her head to see whom was coming, and saw two neko youkai enter the room. One of them stood in her track, and stood still while the other one kept going. Her purple eyes were focused on Sesshomaru as she walked toward him before bowing.

�Everything is ready my Lord,� she said never once looking up. Her Lord already looked in a horrible mood, and she did not want to cause his anger to grow.

He nodded before pointing at Kagome who suddenly felt her heartbeat increase. Great! What did they want with her now? Both youkais walked in her direction, each of them grabbing one of her arms. Anger flared in Kagome�s eyes as she tried to fight free.

�Kagome? Are you going to be okay?� asked Rin, slightly worried. Sesshomaru-sama would never do anything to hurt Kagome!

�The Miko is being escorted to her chambers where she will be cleaned,� said Sesshomaru, removing any worry his ward might have.

His words also seemed to ease Kagome; she had been dying for her bath since the slightly after their encounter. She could already feel the hot water against her skin, and she sighed softly. She let the youkais drag her to the room without much of a fight.

Sesshomaru watched her leave, his glare very intense. At least she wouldn�t be in his way for a while, and afterwards, she would be dressed more properly. It was undignified for her to be in his presence in such inappropriate clothing. Also, in the back of his mind, he couldn't help but wonder where she had found such strange clothes; he had never seen anything of the sort before.

He stared down at Rin who�s smile at still not appeared. He would need to have a little talk with the miko; he could not let her worry his ward like this with her tantrums.

***

A Bath.

A small smile adorned Kagome�s lips as she stood beside the bath, still dressed. Never had water look so appealing to her. Slowly, she lifted her shirt above her head, feeling the cool air on her skin. As goose bumps appeared on pale skin, she hurried to remove the rest of her clothing. Slowly she dipped herself in the water, and a sigh of relief escaped her lips.

She could finally feel some of the pain from her abuse womanhood ease away. Kagome was glad to finally be clean of the blood that stained her lower body, and rested her head on the edge of the bath. Before she knew it, her eyes were closed, as she felt a drowsiness take over. She would have probably felt asleep if it hadn�t been for the person who slammed the door opened. Kagome immediately jumped before turning her head, and recognizing the two neko youkais from earlier. Why were they here?

Both of them were holding bathing supplies as they walked towards her. The one with purple eyes came right behind her, putting down what she was holding. Kagome was feeling quite uncomfortable, and tried to move forward slightly but the youkai stopped her by putting her hand on her shoulder, securing her in place.

Quickly she dipped a cloth in the water, and started to rub Kagome�s back. The young miko couldn�t help but stiffen at the touch. She did not appreciate the stranger�s touch especially after the event that had recently occurred, and tried to wriggle free. �I can do it myself,� she said, her voice not as loud as she had hoped.

�Sesshomaru-sama�s orders,� were her only words, as she kept her rough treatment going.

Of course. Kagome sighed heavily, as she tried to let herself relax. And here she had hoped for a nice quiet bath by herself, obviously Sesshomaru could not even give her that. She closed her eyes again, trying to escape in her own little world. She decided to try and see the positive side of things; at least they weren�t hurting her. Although, it didn�t stop her from feeling as if she had no control over herself, or her life.

The neko youkai washed Kagome�s whole body, never once being careful of her more sensitive ningen skin. She didn�t dislike ningen, but she did not like them either. They could be alive or dead, and it did not make a difference for her. Her only duty was to do what Sesshomaru-sama had ordered. She turned Kagome around, and proceeded to wash her front, which made Kagome blush against her will.

When Kagome felt her going too down, she stopped her by putting her hand on her wrist. �I- I�ll take care of that,� she said, her voice unsure. She was already hurt enough, and she didn�t need this youkai to make it worst with her rough care. The female stared at her for a few seconds before dropping the cloth. Kagome sighed before grabbing it, and cleaning her lower area. She couldn�t prevent herself from wincing as she pressed against some sore spot. Every strike of pain only reminded her of her hatred for Sesshomaru.

Once she was done, she put the cloth away, and moved to the middle of the bath. Slowly, she dunked her head under the water, wetting her hair. Although the water was warm, she enjoyed the feeling of it against her heated cheeks, and found herself wishing she could remain under water. She finally came back to the surface, a sad expression on her face. She could feel the tears threatening to fall, and she was doing her best to contain them. She didn�t want to cry in front of them.

Deciding she was done, one of the youkai grabbed the towel while the other one pulled her out of the water, as if she couldn�t do it herself. Soon enough Kagome found herself wrapped in a blanket, and being dragged towards the bedroom. On the bed, there was a kimono spread out, ready for her to wear. It was a silk kimono with a geometric pattern composed of tiny petals and fluffy clouds. The cream color surface is decorated with smooth orange mist, which accompanied well with the camellias, and plum blossoms of orange and silver color. The obi was a silver color with strike of golden orange, almost transparent.

Kagome grabbed the fabric delicately in between her fingers, enjoying the smoothness. She looked around, noticing her old clothes were gone. She sighed heavily; she had never been one to go with the feudal era fashion. Although, she had to admit, the kimono looked divine. It was probably due to the fact that she wasn�t used to such piece of art. Kagome bite her bottom lip, and since she could not feel auras, she failed to notice the two youkais approaching her.

She jumped slightly when she felt them removing her towel, to which she tried to hold on. Didn�t these people have any kind of modesty? She didn�t quite enjoy being naked in front of them, yet they had no problem with dealing with her nude body. They obviously ignored her small struggles as they grabbed the kimono, and started to dress her. Kagome let her anger show on her face, but didn�t stop them. After all, it wasn�t doing much to struggle, and at least they weren�t hurting her.

In a few seconds she was dressed, and one of them was already brushing her hair. She tied up her hair in a bun, almost on top of her hair, with a golden ribbon. The hairstyle was finished with a small tiny white blossoms bouquet, right beside the bun. When they finally backed away from her, Kagome felt like she could breathe again. They had been literally suffocating her.

Kagome walked away from them and close to the mirror. From afar she stared at herself, almost not recognizing her own self. She wasn�t sure if she liked the change or not. She was from the future, and she liked the clothes from her own time. This was too conventional, too feudal era, and not enough Kagome-like. Kagome hoped they hadn�t destroyed her clothes, and she would be able to recover them. At the worst, she probably had a spare uniform in her yellow bag. The kimono was going to do for the moment, since she had no intention of walking around naked.

She would have probably appreciated the kimono more if it hadn�t came from Sesshomaru. It did look amazingly beautiful, but she didn�t want to enjoy it. It was from him, and thus, she disliked it. She stared at herself one more time before looking away. She needed to find Sesshomaru and know what happened to her bag.

Kagome turned around the face the two youkais. �Where can I find Sesshomaru?� she asked, her voice slightly unsure. What if Sesshomaru had told them to keep her lock in this room?

They both seemed slightly shocked at her disrespect towards the Lord, but they quickly recovered. �Sesshomaru-sama is in the dining area my Lady.�

It took a few seconds for Kagome to understand that the lady they were referring to was herself. Why were they addressing her with such respect? Then she realized it was because Sesshomaru mated her. She stuttered for a few seconds, before nodding. �Thank you.�

Kagome left the room, trying to remember how to get back to the dining area. They had been dragging her almost the whole way, causing her to not pay attention to where she was going. Good thing for her, most of the castle, -so far- was one long hall. She assumed if she kept going down, she would eventually land somewhere near Sesshomaru.

She pinched her lips together, as she increased her pace. For the first time in the last couple of days, she felt clean. It was as if she had washed off all the bad and evil off her body. Of course, there were still some pains, but she could deal with them. Once again, the tears threatened, and Kagome held them back; if she could prevent it, she wouldn�t cry in front of Sesshomaru again. The last thing that bastard deserved was her tears.

After a few minutes, Kagome reached the end of the hall, and she slowly poked her head through, looking around. A small smile came across her lips as she recognized the area. Quickly enough, she reached the dining area where she found Sesshomaru sitting down.

�Do you require food?� he asked, his voice as cold as usually.

Kagome slowly walked toward the table, sitting on the complete opposite side. �Yes,� she said her voice firm. She had shown enough of her weak side to him.

Sesshomaru raised his head and looked at the miko sitting in front of him. She had actually looked presentable when she was dressed in proper clothing. �I guess you can look acceptable when you are being provided with decent clothes.�

Kagome bit her tongue, cursing him in his mind. She was not his little doll to dress up, and change as he pleased. �This is only temporary. Once I retrieve my bag, I will change to my own clothes,� said Kagome before crossing her arms in front of her chest.

�That will be impossible. The content of your bag has already been filter, and such indecent clothing has been thrown out.�

�You went through my bag?� she asked, her anger growing. Who did he think he was? He had no right to go through her stuff, and decide what could be kept or not!

Sesshomaru rubbed the side of his head; he could already feel a headache coming. They had found a lot of unusual objects in her bag, which he would inquire about later. Now, she seemed too angry to think straight, and he would not deal with her at the moment.

�Some food will be brought for you and Rin,� announced Sesshomaru, completely ignoring her question. He looked at her one more time before leaving her alone at the table.

Kagome was fuming as she watched him leave. Obviously Sesshomaru thought too highly of himself if he thought he could just walk out on her like that! She asked him a question damn it, and she wanted an answer!

�Kagome! Are you eating with Rin?�

Kagome turned her head slightly, spotting the little girl coming in her direction. She put her best smile on before answering. �It seems I am.�

The little girl�s smile grew wider as she took a seat beside her. �Rin always hunt for her food, always eats alone! Rin hopes Kagome will stay forever!�

Kagome�s smile appeared more and more fake, as the word sank in. With the way things were going, she might very well be stuck there forever. It wasn�t as if Inuyasha would come and rescue her, and after what he had done, she wasn�t sure she wanted to see him. Kagome closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, trying to reassure herself.

No words of encouragement came to her mind.

***

Sango was walking behind both Miroku and Inuyasha, her mind wandering. Inuyasha had told them what transpired between Kagome and Sesshomaru, yet she couldn�t help but feel as if some details had been left out. When Inuyasha had explained how Sesshomaru had raped and mated Kagome, she could hear the guilt in his voice.

She knew he didn�t feel guilty about what happened to Kagome, since it had been out of his control. What the normal Inuyasha would have felt was anger not guilt. She had pressed on the issue, asking if he was sure nothing else happened, but he had quickly dismissed her, saying nothing else had occurred. Sango had kept silent, as they set out on their journey to find Kagome, but now it was eating her.

Sango had felt guilt and pain when she had heard what happened. She should have gone with Kagome to the hot springs, and then she could have protected her. She couldn�t even imagine how Kagome felt, lying there helplessly as a beast savaged her, and took possession of her body. Tears came to her eyes as she wished she had been there for the woman she considered her own sister.

Even now as they were traveling, Inuyasha wasn�t his usual self. His ears were pressed against his head, and he had this pitiful look on, like a dog who did something wrong. Determined, Sango walked faster to catch up to him. Too bad she couldn�t sit him like Kagome could since that would have gotten the answers out of him faster, but she had other ways.

�Inuyasha!�

The tone of her voice surprised Inuyasha, who quickly turned his head in her direction. He had been completely absorbed in his thoughts, that he hadn�t noticed her coming up to him. In his mind, he had been thinking about ways to apologizing to Kagome, and making it up to her. There was no doubt a lot of sitting would be involve, and he was ready to take it.

�What do you want?� he asked, his tone angry. He didn�t need Sango asking him if nothing else happened again. He had this bad feeling she knew but she wanted a confession out of him. He couldn�t do that. The only way they would ever know was if Kagome decided to share. Deep inside, he hoped she would keep that between them; he didn�t need the others butting in their business.

�Did something happen between you and Kagome?� she asked, eyeing him from the corner of her eyes. She knew Kagome was basically the only one who could get answers out of him, but it was worth a try. She needed to get to the bottom of this.

�I told you already, NO!� Why couldn�t she just give it up already?

A flare of red ran across Sango�s eyes before she walked ahead of Inuyasha, visibly pissed off. He was lying straight to her face, and she knew it. One thing did worry her though; if Inuyasha was lying about it, that meant he did something bad. Kagome had already been hurt enough when Inuyasha found her, and Sango wished deep inside he hadn�t made things worst.

If she found out from Kagome that he hurt her, he would have hell to pay, and she wouldn�t go easy on him just because they were friends.

***

Kami she needed to get out of there.

Kagome sighed heavily as she pressed her head against a tree. Earlier, Rin and her had collected some flowers, and when Rin had left for her bedtime, Kagome had remained outside in the little garden. She would have confronted Sesshomaru but apparently he was avoiding her, and since she didn�t know the castle, it was hard for her to look for him.

She had decided it was better for her to stay outside, and enjoy the stars, and the coolness of the night. The kimono was protecting her enough that she was not cold. She sighed heavily, the sadness heavily showing on her face. Nothing in the past few days was something she had expected and planned for. She was mated to the youkai who raped her, and on top of that, he had taken away her powers. Kagome had never felt so powerless of her whole life. Everything had been taken away from her.

The realization that she couldn�t go back home descended on her. If Sesshomaru had his way, and never removed the bracelet, she would never see her family again. She would be stuck in the feudal era for the rest of her life. Her mother wouldn�t worry for her while since she had just came back from her time, but after a while� what if her family thought she died?

Kagome pinched her lips together; maybe Inuyasha would go see them? He was far from being her favorite person right now, but he was the only one who could go through the well. Maybe he would inform them of her current situation. They would probably be heart broken, but at least they would know she was alive. She bit her bottom lips, the tears right on the edge of falling.

Her mother would never hug her again.

And one tear fell down her cheek.

She wouldn�t hear her grandfather�s stories again, even though by now she knew them by heart. She wouldn�t annoy and pick on her little brother anymore, nor would she see him grow up to be a man. Kagome brought her hand to her heart, and clenched the silk of her kimono. It felt as if her heart was engulfed into darkness, and it was slowly being swallowed.

She wasn�t even conscious of the tears staining her cheeks as memories of her family flooded her mind. Kagome despised Sesshomaru for taking everything away from her. The bastard didn�t even look like he cared that he completely destroyed her. On top of that, he had been disgusted with her ever since he had raped her. She was relieved that he didn�t try to touch her again, but she couldn�t help but wonder why. What kind of need pushed him to rape and mate her, and then removed any desire he had towards her? She had to admit it did not make any sense, but it didn�t lessen the hatred she had for him.

Kagome�s eyes were extremely heavy, as they got puffier, and redder. She knew sleep wanted to claim her, but she didn�t want to. Her dreams were filled with his touch, and darkness, and it was world where she did not want to go. As more tears fell, Kagome struggled to remain awake. She softly wiped her cheek, before drying her hand on her kimono.

For now, she would need to stay in the castle. Not because she wanted to, but because everywhere she went, there was at least two youkais following her. If she had her powers, then she would have been able to plan some sort of escape, but at the moment, there was nothing she could do. She would find a way to leave, but she would need to plan it carefully.

Kagome brought her knees against her chest, and softly rocked herself. Now that she was alone, for the first time in a while, it was easier to break down. Everything that happened in the last few days was coming crashing down, and she needed to let the steam out. She wouldn�t do it in front of people, but now, since she was alone, she allowed herself this privilege.

Every sob broke her heart, and every tear shattered it.

***

She annoyed him.

Sesshomaru was in his own chambers, yet he could smell the tears and pain coming from her. He rubbed his head softly, hoping she would be done moping soon. She was the one who had come and complicated everything for him. And now it was even worse since it was obvious his ward had taken a liking into her. At least the miko had the decency to act proper in front of Rin.

Another reason behind his annoyance was the mating. It seemed the only way to break their bond was to kill her, but he could not do that. It was not as if it would bother him to end the miko�s life, but he wasn�t sure of the repercussion. He wasn�t hot headed like his brother, and he usually weight his decision, and thought them through.

Until he knew if it was safe for the miko to be gone from this world, he would not kill her, which lead to his problem; he would have to deal with her. Sesshomaru growled at his beast, obviously unhappy. He was more than displeased with its choice of a mate. The only positive thing that sort of came out of it, was that she was a ningen, and easy to control. If it had been an unwanted youkai mate, he would have still been able to control her, but it would have been more of a pain.

The young miko did have a fighting spirit, but at the moment she had nothing but words to back it up. Maybe he could find a way to permanently shut her up before she destroyed his sensitive ears. Sesshomaru laid back in his chair, all his thoughts going through his mind. He had made sure his room was as far as possible from her; he did not need to smell her disgusting scent during the night since he was already forced to tolerate it during the day.

He had decided to stay a few weeks to make sure everything was under control. Afterwards, he would leave the miko at his castle, while he left to travel once again. He had a feeling she would not be happy about that, but it wasn�t her decision to make. He couldn�t help but wonder why she thought females had such power, and had a right to voice their opinion in such a manner. Obviously she hadn�t been raised right.

Maybe it was his half-brother�s influence.

Inuyasha. He would have to watch out for him. He knew his half-brother, and he had a feeling he was looking for Kagome now. He had probably realized how foolish his actions had been, and he was looking for the miko�s forgiveness. Sesshomaru had no intention of letting him anywhere near Kagome. Plus, he had a feeling that at the moment, the miko did not desire to see him.

Sesshomaru stood up and walk toward his window, and stared into his garden. He could see Kagome�s sleeping form, pressed against a tree. Foolish onna. It was a good thing the nights weren�t cold yet, or she was going to freeze to death out there. If she wanted to sleep uncomfortable, outside, he wouldn�t be the one to bring her inside.

She might be his mate, but it was against his choice, which meant he didn�t care for her in any way.

She would never mean anything to him.
