Kagome was carried to her chambers by the guard. Two guards were stationed outside of her door, along with two others below her balcony. The walls were a deep saphire blue. The carpet was a shade of gray that looked close to sliver. The bed sheets and blanket were silver, black, and blue. A wardrobe sat in the corner, a desk along the wall, and a end table by the bed, all black and polished. A bathroom led straight out of the main room. Silver faucets adorned the black marble tub. The floor was white marble.
The rom in all its maginificence was not even glance at by Kagome. She was in shock and still recovering from the binding words. Kagome held Shippou tighter, afraid he would be taken away from her. Things just seemed to go fom bad to worse since she became a demon. Maybe it was the wrong choice. Maybe she should have stayed a human. No. Reiken said the either choice would have its own reprocutions. Things could only get better right? Once you hit bottom there's nowhere to go but up.
"But what if I haven't hit the bottom yet?" She looked to the ceiling in a silent prayer.
Kyo walked int, shutting the door quietly behind him. He ooked both regretful and joyful at the same time. Mostly though, guilt was on his face. He sat beside her on the bed, watching her silently for the moment. He opened his mouth to speak,but closed it again as if in thought of what should be said.
"I know you are probably angry with me, but know that I had no choice. If you had never wandered into this town than I would have never done this. I was told when I became lord that the first wanderer to enter this town of our species I was to take as a mate, by force if necessary. This was forced on me, as well as you. As I said, I'm truly sorry."
"Is...is there any way to undo this?"
"No. I'm sorry."
Kyo's head was hung low, and his hands were clenched in his lap. He stood slowly and looked back to Kagome. He walked to the door and shut it behind him. Kagome was staring at the floor now, playing with the carpet with her toes. She set Shippou on the bed and wrapped her tail around him. She took a long look at he fluffy silver apendage. Has it gotten longer? She measured it by sight. It looked as if it had. Kagome started petting Shippou's head softly, more in comfort for herself than him.
"What can I do?"
"Adapt."
"Who said that?"
"Kagome, I haven't been gone that long."
"Reiken? I thought you were gone."
"I am. But I will still be with you if you need me. I could hear you cries so loud it sounded like you were right next to me. I had to come to you."
"What did you mean 'adapt'?"
"Adapt to you situation, solve the problem, and find a way out. Foxes are known for getting themselves out of trouble. Use that talent. You have been giving a gift, use that in every sense possible."
"But Kyo said there is no way to break this binding."
"There are always ways to break spells Kagome. If it can be done, it can be undone. Always remember that."
"Thank you, Reiken."
"Kagome, you are turning out to be a fine choice I made in giving this gift to. Good luck."
Kagome smiled slightly and tucked Shippou in the bed. She went to the bathroom and filled the tub. There was some kind a shampoo and soap. Kagome stripped and sunk into the tub, taking her time in the warm water. She lathered her hair and rinsed. She spent a couple more minutes in the tub before getting out and dressing in a sleeping gown. It was a light baby blue and clung in all the right places. She slipped between the silk sheets, and holding on to Shippou, fell asleep.
~~*~~*~~*~~
Kagome woke the next morning with a smile on her face but an evil gleam in her eye. Kyo had his mate, so he probably wouldn't force her into anything else so soon. At least that was what she hoped. Last night he seemed sincerely sorry. She went into the bathroom and changed into a black kimono with a blue obi. When she came back out Shippou was up and looking around. Kagome smiled at him and sat down.
"Morning Shippou."
"I thought we were leaving."
"Our plans...changed."
"Changed? How?"
"Well...how about we discuss it later."
Shippou nodded slightly but looked a little confused. Kagome smiled at him and patted him on the head. There was a knock at the door.
"Miladay? May I come in?"
"Yes, come in."
The servant entered and bowed. Her hair was black and up in a bun. She had pale lavender eyes.
"Lord Kyo requests your presence at breakfast."
"I see. Tell him that I will be with him in a moment."
"Yes milady."
The servant quickly left. Kagome sighed.
"Well, lets go."
Shippou took his perch on Kagome's shoulder and the headed toward the dining room. Kyo was sitting there, at the head, waiting for her. He pointed to a seat at his left. Kagome went and sat by him. Shippou jumped down and sat next to Kagome. He looked on in awe at the amount of food before him.
"You seemed to have taken the news well." Kyo said to Kagome.
"Sometimes it is better to get over something then to mope about it all day, or longer. I felt that I had to adapt to my situation." Kagome had a small grin on as she spoke. "And I plan to adapt very well to this."
They sat in silence while they ate. Afterwards Kagome wandered the palace with a guard. She mentaly documanted all the spots best for escapes, distraction, or mishaps. Everything was going to work out perfectly. She wan't about to be someones mate, to whom she didn't love. Nope. Hell would have to freeze over first.
