Chapter Twelve: Talking

Once everyone was settled Lady Rinia called in the servants that were under Lord Sesshoumaru. It was time to see what they thought of the Miko Kagome. She knew they would eventually would get together but she wanted to play match-maker. It was, after all, her favorite pass time.

The four servants walked in and bowed. Jaken being the first to speak, "Oh great lady, what do we owe this honor to?" He had been a little apprehensive about coming because of the children but he was assured that they would not be harmed while he was away. Besides he could not very well say no to a lady of higher ranking then himself. Though the look in her eyes made him want to figure a way out of there.

"There is no need for you to bow at this time," she said smirking. She knew what she wanted and would get it. "I wish to ask you a few questions concerning the lady that your lord has brought along." That made Jaken feel his apprehension even more. She was going to mess with their lives. "For starters," she continued even though she had seen the look pass over all of their faces, "how long has she been with your lord?" The evil glint in her eye gets darker.

"T-two months," Jaken staggered. He was afraid of her now.

"And what do you think of her?" She wanted to know how they were not together now. They had after all been in the same household for two months.

"We have been trying to get together for that time, if that is what you are planning," Ka said the lady. She caught on when she saw the glint in her eyes. This was going to be fun.

"That is exactly what I had in mind," Rinia said smiling at the women in front of her. This was going to be really fun. Jaken on the other hand was about to chook. He had not known about any of this. "Now here is what I was thinking."

After settling in Kagome decided to use the hot springs that were connected to her room. She picked out the sleeping kimono that she decided she wanted to wear. It had fireflies in a field of dark green grass.

She walked in and almost fainted because of the beauty of it all. It was an indoor spring that had what looked like a forest surrounding it. There were flowers of all different types and trees that were everywhere. Then she found what was lighting the whole thing, fireflies. All-in-all it was beautiful and romantic. Kagome fell in love with it the moment she looked around. She walked up to the bathing area and stripped down to her bear skin. She then lightly put her body in the warm water that never seemed to be to hot or to cold. Everything was perfect.

Getting out of a meeting with the Lord Haku, retiring Lord of the South. He had made formal greetings with him and was now ready for a nice long soak in the hot springs he had been told that were connected to his own room. It was time he relaxed a little.

He finally got to his rooms by following his own scent but found that Kagome's room was right next to his. A small smirk formed on his lips. Maybe he might get to give her a midnight visit. He shock his head slightly before he entered his own room. The shake was very small but it was noticed by a small group of people watching from the hallway.

"I wonder why he did that," Rinia whispered to the rest of the group she was concealing. They were camped out to see what the lord would do when he got back. They were only going to watch from the outside and were making sure the lord did get to his room.

"So tell me again," Ko said looking up at the lady, "what did you do while they were coming in here?" She wanted to see all of the tricks of the trade.

"I have a certain hand signal for a few of my servants, we do this often, and I told them to give the connecting hot springs to them. It is a way to give them privacy and it is romantic to boot." She said this all with a small smile an her face. She was having a lot of fun.

"I can not believe you talked me into messing with our lords love life," Jaken said exasperated. The women just giggled while Renku just shook his head slightly. This was going to be long for the both of them.

Kagome was just relaxing when she felt a presence in the hot springs with her. It was Sesshoumaru. She didn't even tense up knowing that she might as well relax. This was after all probably a co-ed bath house.

He looked over to the hot springs and saw that in one of them Kagome was relaxing against the side. He just shrugged and stripped down knowing she knew he was there. He quickly got in the pool closest to him and let his body relax against the side.

She felt the water move as she lay there and knew he was in the pool. She opened her eyes and looked over at him. She had shared all of her history with him and he shared his with her. They were closer together then anyone could perceive. She knew that she was falling in love with him, she just did not know how he felt about her. Sure he said that he respected her but she wanted something a little more then respect. She pondered these thoughts for a while.

He though let his mind wonder to the beauty that was in front of him. She was beautiful. Something about her made him want to protect her no matter what happens. He knew that he was probably falling in love with her. That was crazy but he knew that she had, somehow, found a way to get past the stone walls he kept around his cold heart. He sighed lowly knowing that she probably did not love him in return. He thought for a while when he heard her enchanting voice flow to his ears.

Kagome lifted her hand slightly to see she was turning into a rather large prune. It was time to get out. "Sesshoumaru?" She said slightly nervous, he nodded his head showing that he was listening, "Could you close your eyes while I get out?" He nodded his head again but thought, `Btu I want to see your beautiful body wet and.' again he shock his head mentally. He closed his eyes and heard her get out. He heard her put her robe on and heard her start walking. "You can open your eyes now," she whispered. He did so to see that she was right above him. She leaned down to kiss him slightly. He smiled at her as she pulled back. She smiled, got up, and left the room. It was time for some sleep.
