Thank you sooooooo much!!!!!!!!!! Everyone review, review, review.

Kagome awoke slowly the nest morning. She sat up and stretched lazily. ` Humm I wonder how I got back to bed last night.' Kagome mused to herself. " Good morning mommy." Shippo announced as soon as he saw his mother awake. " Good morning Shippo." Kagome said happily smiling at her kit. " How did you sleep?" Kagome asked. " Fine." Shippo answered. " I'm going to find Rin." Before Kagome could reply he was dashing out of the room to find his new friend.

After bathing and getting dressed Kagome headed down to the dinning hall for breakfast, only getting lost once or twice along the way. Her cheerfulness was smothered however when she entered the dinning room to find Sesshomaru already at the table. " Good morning Sesshomaru." Kagome said rather stiffly. " Good morning Kagome." Sesshomaru replied in his usual mono toned voice. ` Did he just use my name?' Kagome thought to herself rather shocked. Brushing it off she sat down and began to eat.

After about ten minutes of silence Sesshomaru stood up and started to leave the room. When he got to the door he turn to Kagome. " Meet me in my study once you have finished we have things to discuss." That being said he left the room his silver white hair trailing in his wake. Once she was alone Kagome allowed her thoughts to wonder as she finished her breakfast.

` What is Sesshomaru up to?' ` I know he said he needed my help, but for what?' Kagome ate almost mechanically becoming more and more worried about just what this task was Sesshomaru needed her help for. ` He's one of the strongest demons I've ever met there has got be something he not telling me another reason why I'm here.' After finishing her breakfast she stood up took a deep breath and headed for Sesshomaru's study. `Well time to face the fire.'

Sesshomaru heard her coming, heard her stop just outside the door before a tentative knock could be heard. " Come." Was Sesshomaru's curt reply. Kagome opened the door before taking a few cautious steps inside. When Sesshomaru made no move to get up from the large desk he was sitting at she closed the door behind her and took the opportunity to look around the room.

It was beautiful like all the other rooms in Sesshomaru's home but this one was slightly different. Instead of the usual white black and blue that were present in all the other rooms, this one was dome in dark browns, burgundy, and gold. In the center of the room Sesshomaru was sitting at a large mahogany desk that was sitting on a large intricately woven rug. The curtains were a deep burgundy with gold trim. The walls were lined with book and papers. And large painting hung on the walls.

" Sit down Kagome." Sesshomaru's voice pulled Kagome back into the present. She nervously crossed the room and sat in one of the high backed chairs by the desk across for Sesshomaru. ` What did you want to talk to me about." Kagome asked tentatively. " Why you are here.' Sesshomaru said simply. Kagome remained silent and waited for him to continue.

" In two days the other lord and there mates will be arriving to discuss the growing threat of Naraku(SP) and what action will be taken ageist him." " You will join in the meetings and contribute any and all knowledge you have of Naraku for you previous battles with him." " I expect you to remember your place and behave accordingly before the other lords I will instruct you about youkai customs so you are prepared." After he was finished talking Sesshomaru went back to concentrating on the papers that were lying in front of him.

Kagome just sat there for a few minutes to let everything that Sesshomaru said sink in. ` He wants my help with Naraku?' " I will help you on one condition." Kagome said suddenly. " What?" Sesshomaru asked mildly irritated. " Train me to fight once this is all over I still have the jewel shards to find." Sesshomaru thought for a few minutes before answering. " Fine." Sniffing the air a sudden smirk appeared on his face. " Come with me we have guests." Sesshomaru said standing and walking out of the room with a confused Kagome following. The soon got to the front door and walked outside. " I don't see anyone." Kagome said. " They will be here momentarily." Sesshomaru answered. " It seems my brother and your friends have come to rescue you."
