Chapter 3: paper work

 

~Kagome POV~

 

A little after we found out this bit of information he immediately retracted his hand back to his side and took off. From what I got from his mind he was going home to gather his thoughts. I sat down at the base of the tree I had previously been pinned to and stared out into the direction he went to and felt loneliness then a heart wrenching pain in my chest.

 

I then began yelling in his head that he must come back now. And soon enough he was back by my side and the pain finally subsided.

 

`Sesshomaru please don't do that again!' I thought to him then soon fainted.

 

~Sesshomaru POV~

 

I had only been gone for thirty seconds when the wench started calling me to come back. I started to feel a great pain in my chest. I finally started to listen to her and I could feel the pain even in her thought. So I quickly hurried back to her and the pain subsided.

 

I heard what she told me and decided to heed it for a demon like myself doesn't usually feel pain and if I felt it I wonder how bad it was on her. Soon after she had told me this she fainted.

 

I quickly picked her up mindful of my claws and started off to my castle.

 

~Kagome POV~

 

I woke up in a large four-poster bed with the curtains drawn. I stared at them for a while then reached a hand out and grabbed some of it between my fingers and rubbed it gingerly. It was silk and it looked to be hand made.

 

That thought pushed aside I opened up the curtain and looked around. The room had three doors, a small desk and mirror, along with a small dresser. On the wall I saw a giant crescent moon with a large white dog in the middle.

 

I then remembered what had happen. I fell back onto my pillow with a sigh now knowing where I was.

 

`I'm in the palace of the great demon lord of the west I wonder how ticked he is or where for that matter'

 

“I'm right behind you and you would have noticed if you had bothered to look at the other side of the room.” He said in his usual monotone voice. My head quickly snapped in his direction.

 

“Oh be quiet.” I told him peeved.

 

“Now that you have woken up you will accompany me to the library. The distance that we are aloud seems to have lessened whilst you slept.” He said. I got to my feet slowly and walked over to him. As soon as I got within three feet he went out of the door in that fast pace of his. I went at a more leisurely rate and soon he stopped and waited for me to come closer every few minutes.

 

~Author POV~

 

They soon came upon a large oaken door inlaid with delicate carvings it was gorgeous. Sesshomaru immediately went to a large desk and sat down. She looked upon it to find dozens of papers stacked and waiting for him to read over.

 

She quickly walked closer to look at some of them when he didn't seem to mind being to engrossed in a large report on the welfare of his land to even care.

 

The papers that she looked at were the status report on his house and servants. She looked over it and noticed a few errors and a way or two to make things run more smoothly. But decided to keep her comments to herself.

 

“If you want to look over those it is of no concern to me but could you at least sit and move out of my light.” He said in an annoyed voice.

 

She quietly took a seat across from him and took up the papers. She took a pen that was lying near her and started changing a few errors and putting a few side notes.

 

Sesshomaru had been watching her out of the corner of his eye wondering to what she was going to do he was quite surprised when she walked over and started to think of ways to better benefit his house in her head while looking over the papers. He was also surprised and grateful (not that he'd ever tell her that) that she was helping him with the overflowing piles of work.

 

It went quietly on like that except for the occasional rustling and scribbling of papers and pens. Suddenly there was a light knocking of the door Sesshomaru said, “Enter.”, slightly irritated at being disturbed.

 

~Kag POV~

 

A small green toad I knew to be Jaken entered the room he glared slightly when he saw me but continued on.

 

“Milord the reports on Naraku have come in and it is almost time for lunch and the human child, Rin, has been asking for your presence in the garden all day.”

 

“Send the reports up and tell Rin to meet us later for lunch in the great hall.”

 

After Jaken left Sesshomaru and I soon stood and left the library. As soon as we walked into the great hall a small human girl immediately attached herself to his leg and said, “Greetings Sesshomaru-Sama Rin has been trying to see you all morning but Jaken wouldn't allow it,” all in one breathe.

 

We walked into the hall and while Sesshomaru sat at the head of the table I felt drawn to sit at his right so I did while Rin happily sat at his left. The servants soon came in and started putting out the trays of food. Some of the servants were staring at me.

 

`Why are they staring at me?' I thought to myself not really expecting an answer.

 

`They are looking at you because you are sitting where the lady of the western land would sit. Sense they did not know me to take a mate that seat has been vacant. And tell me why did you sit there?'

 

`Well this may sound funny but I felt drawn to sit here.'

 

`Indeed.'

 

Rin had been watching the exchange between Sesshomaru and Kagome with curious eyes as to why they had been staring at each other for so long but decided to ignore it.
