Chapter Three: The Invitation
She woke up with a start hearing the annoying voice, which was Jaken, yell right in her ear, "Wake up, stupid girl! It is time for Rin's lessons!" He said this every morning and she responded the same each time; with a burse on his head that would stay on all day. The sloshing of an unconscious form falling to the ground must have been some sort of signal because three beings walked into her room. Two of them were her personal servants, Ka and Ko. The third, Renku, was the one that was assigned, after a week of Jaken not reporting to the study, to take away the carcass on the floor.
Kagome turned towards Renku before he left. "Renku, I need you to tell Sesshoumaru-sama that Rin's lesson will be held out in the Southern garden today. Then I need you to gather Rin and show her there." This was all said in a cold, emotionless, voice that could rival Sesshoumaru's in frigidness. Kagome had, over the last two months, become emotionless except for the few times with Rin that she would give the girl praise, or when Jaken particularly tick her off. She had learned such by just watching her host. Renku left with out saying a word, dragging the dead weight of Jaken behind him.
Silently Kagome let her two servants dress her accordingly.

Sesshoumaru was sitting at his desk, as usual, doing work and looking over treaties. At least, that was what it looked like he was doing. In all actuality his thought had wondered, like they were prone to do lately. He was thinking of his guest and why he had brought her here. He wondered what had been done to such a spirited girl to make her like him, emotionless. The thoughts had pillaged him but he had never asked because he himself knew what it was like to lose people close to you.
His thoughts were interrupted by a light knock at his door.
"Come in, Renku." Renku was the servant he had sent to get Jaken out of Kagome's room when he had found out she knocked him out for the way he woke her up in the morning. It was pointless to try to change the toad's ways, he knew this from experiences with Rin, and he decided to just have someone clean up the mess instead of worry about it. Besides, it helped to see how exactly strong his pupil was getting.
"My Lord," Renku began in his rich voice that was like warm honey, flowing smoothly from his lips, "Kagome-sama has told me that Rin's lessons will be held out in the Southern Garden today."
"Very well. While you collect Rin have guards posted in the garden to watch them." He said knowing full well that Kagome would send him to get Rin as well.
"Yes, my Lord." That was all that was said. The sliding door shutting noiselessly. Leaving the lord once more to his thoughts.

Kagome was sitting outside with Rin. She was teaching Rin the names of the different bugs the girl found around the garden. The guards were there as usual when they came outside. All was quiet, save for they giggling of Rin, and Kagome's new monotone voice teaching the girl what was relevant about each bug. That was until there was a yell at the edge of the forest asking for permission to enter.
Kagome stopped speaking when a guard ran past her into the palace. She told Rin to stay by her and waited for Sesshoumaru's regal form to enter the garden. He didn't disappoint her with a long wait. He came strutting out with his normal measured steps. She stood silently waiting for orders.
"Kagome, stay by Rin and both of you follow me," was all he said. No more was needed because the two girls walked slightly behind him so as to find out what was going on.
They all saw the demon standing beside a horse and bowing to the lord. This demon seemed to be a fox and looked young. He held his chestnut-brown horse by the reins and was wearing the colors green and red. Those were the colors of the Southern Lands Sesshoumaru had taught her once.
"My Lord, I come bringing news from the South," the messenger said, "It is an invitation, for your house, to the coronation of the new Lady of the South, Lady Rinia. My Lord Haku has finally retired and will be handing down the lands to the one he feels most reliable." The messenger bowed once more.
"When will this coronation be?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"In seven days," was the answer.
"Very well. We shall attend. Gonti," he called his captain forward.
"Here, my Lord."
"Take this messenger to rest for he doubtlessly has had a long journey." The guard bowed and motioned to the messenger to fallow him. Sesshoumaru then turned to Kagome and said, "It looks lie we will be leaving soon. I suggest you pack." That was all that was said as the demon went back into his castle.
