Chapter 8 To Place a Face on Can Confuse it's Mirror

Inuyasha finished speaking with the woman and quickly rushed to Myouga to explain what Miss. Higurashi thought was going on. Myouga was reluctant to play such a trick but as his master, Inuyasha demanded so that they could quickly dispose of her for her safety. Myouga nodded his head in submission.

Kagome felt like she was a feudal like Japanese maiden. Her clothing that her partner had said to ware, was an old deep red kimono, with golden thread for the out lines of the material and a decretive seemingly dog type of demon on it. It seemed to fit just right and since it was mostly made with the wine like fabric, it blended with her hair which she bushed out. Inuyasha had brought up a brush to her before she had let her feet touch the polished wooden floor. The kimono had also a low neck line that she had never seen before on any other kimono and what stunned her most was there was no bow sash to tie around. It just seemed to hang on her every curve.

'To bad I didn't have a necklace to place on.' she thought. Her neck felt bare without her normal star charm around her flesh. She received it from Miroku on her tenth birthday and had rarely taken it off. ' Must've' been lost in the forest.' She sighed and placed on her small sandals that went with the gown. 'Oh well, as long as I get that healer to Father, then I won't care what I ever ware again.' she thought to herself as she opened the door. "That is, if I am not to late."

Inuyasha had dressed Myouga finely, and taught a few lessons on correct dining etiquette as they made breakfast. He picked it up fast. To make everything more interesting though, he would translate the words that Kagome said when speaking with Myouga. She spoke more English then what her body and face looked like. He figured that she knew some Japanese after she thanked him for the brush but the main communication she had was English and what Myouga had no real teachings in. It would give a good excuse for him to stick around if he was servant and Myouga was master.

"Master, please reconsider this. I do not like fooling the girl." Myouga tried one last time. Inuyasha shook his head.

"Myouga, she is a rich girl. I know. I also know that she would have no interest in me if I were a servant so this just makes it easier this way. I don't need to see another die." He shrugged his shoulders signaling he wanted the conversation to end. Myouga was determined to try and have a last word in things but they were shoved down his throat with a force of magic. The girl who was pale and yet beautiful was standing in front of him shyly. Even Inuyasha could not speak as she walked into the dinning room with his mother's attire on. It made him wonder if Myouga just hadn't measured her and went to the village to have the design copied to fit her. 'Gods help me, she is an angel.' Kagome bowed lightly when she knew all eyes were on her.

Myouga cleared his throat at his 'servant'. "Do not waver Inuyasha. Please help our guest sit down." he spoke harshly in Japanese. Inuyasha threw a look at him. The flea was going to enjoy this no matter how much he didn't want to do it. The flea though, did not act as though he saw anything. Inuyasha walked over to the young girl, trying not to imagine the sheets around her soft , snow-like body. Nor did he try imagine how hot her body was when she was almost completely on top of him. No he would not under any circumstances do such a thing. The girl smiled at him. 'There it goes. Swimming in a river for a year, or two.' He thought as he touched her hand to lead her to the table.

Myouga of course was watching every moment of their actions. The girl, he could tell, did like his master and by that smile did not care if he was a servant or even married. Only one women had held some type of affection toward his master and even she had not been able to show as many feelings throughout her whole life compared to that young woman's smile. This was going to be difficult. Myouga knew that life was forbidden to his young master for over fifty years, and this young woman might be a mess or an end to all of it.

Kagome knew there wasn't something right about what was going on right as she walked through the doors. For one, the Healer and his servant, (her Inuyasha) were disagreeing on something and by the look of their faces before they had seen her, had been something deadly important. The next thing was that her host was practically swimming in his cloths. They were big on him in shoulders and arm length but then in the chest and stomach area seem to small. It was odd because the being right next to him looked more like royalty then him! Odd, but who knew how it worked around here. Many people didn't remember any healer around here any ways so who was she to judge?

A pang of guilt hooded Kagome for a moment. 'Father, please tell me your alive. I have to get you to him healer, no matter what.' All thoughts though were swept away as Inuyasha's master barked orders at him. Kagome was surprised at the face Inuyasha gave at him but the healer didn't seem to notice. It startled Kagome when Inuyasha took her hand and led her to the dinning table for a moment. His hands were soft and gently warm. It sent shivers down her back as she kneeled down to the silken pillows beneath her. He stayed standing and she gave him a knowing smile. He looked taken back. Did he know that she was flirting just a little at him? By the looks of it, he was petrified. Her smiled deepened for a moment then as he let go of her hand she turned to face the table with her head slightly bowed, not noticing that their was a smirk on the hanyous' face as well.

She looked up as Inuyasha started to repeat words in her language that his master was saying.

00000 Hi 00000000

"Thank you for having me here, sir. I have come a long way." replied Kagome to his welcoming. Inuyasha was taken back by her forwardness in her voice. He knew she wanted to get to something and it was coming soon.

"Well, we shall speak afterward Miss. My master wishes to fill your belly properly before going into anything." Kagome nodded politely to them. Inuyasha started to serve Kagome with the stew that he and Myouga had fished just minutes earlier. He watched Myouga's eyes to see what to do with everything. It had been a long time since they had eaten anywhere near the dinning area, so everything was almost as if it was new to all. After the stew was given to them , he pour each -except himself- a small amount of a ruby wine that they had gained many, many years ago when the last lord had been in trade, into the small glasses. Kagome thanked him with a smile, which he returned. Myouga coughed and as Inuyasha poured quiet a generous amount, the old flea gave him a glare of warning. Inuyasha nodded his head slightly and sat back down to his position not eating anything for himself.

Kagome, he knew was a bit edged, nerves and was trying very hard to be patient. He almost laughed at Myouga's face when she complimented the food, when Inuyasha told him. The flea seemed to like the young woman very much and her excellent tastes. Soon though as the bowels were cleared away by himself was when it all started to come down to why she was here and what she had really ever wanted from them.

"Please, tell your master that I am very grateful to him about saving my life and for the hospitality that you both have shown me." Inuyasha relied the message to Myouga who bowed his head for her gratitude. His response was clear to Inuyasha's ears and then to Kagome's as he repeated the words.

"Sir, my I ask you please. Please come with me back to the village though. To save another's life. I beg of you please. It is so very important to me." Myouga looked at Inuyasha very worried as he told him that she was in his need.

"Master, should we tell her?"

"No. This will allow us to get her away much faster."

"Well, at least allow us to play a little and ask what had happened."

Inuyasha nodded his head at Myouga then asked Kagome what happened. She stilled for a moment then spoke her story. About her father and her brothers being into the trades and coming to Japan to find old family. She told them about the tavern and then as her voice quieted about the man who had grabbed at her and that he had shoot her father without a second glance. She told them about meeting a man about a healer and getting lost, her fear of wolves and of Inuyasha. Myouga looked interested at this but thankfully, in his opinion, she continued and ended waking up here without the information about how she had woken up. Inuyasha told Myouga the last parts and sighed.

Kagome told her story with her head held high then waited for a moment as master and servant talked. The servant had growled a few times, making his master very worried in some cases. It was odd to her that they would fight when one word she make him calm down and listen, him being master and all. It also bothered her because Inuyasha could not have possible made the breakfast because he had been with her half the time. Where there more servants then she could see or that were allowed to be seen? Was Inuyasha his protector and was allowed to argue with his master? This was just not making any since to her. Finally after seeing a couple of head shakes she spoke up, hoping that in her pleads they would help her.

"Please," she grasped Inuyasha's fine shirt. "Please I will give you anything. Anything you want. Trade routes, gold, ships. Please, I will do anything." she spoke with her eyes cast down. He knew what she meant by her last words. She would be willing to put up her maiden head if it would save her father's life.

"Miss. Higurashi," he began giving his master a good look and sigh, " My master says that he will help you and yours."

Kagome smiled and gave him a small hug in her thanks. This, she could feel made him go stiff before allowing a small return back. Then she was up and saying 'thank you' once more with a smile that lit to her eyes.
