Kikyo huffed annoyed as she sat looking out of the window. She had been confined to this room after they disobeyed the lord’s orders. She glared at nothing in particular as she waited for them to bring the evening meal to her. The beginning of the day went well she had breakfast and soaked in the hot springs for a while. She then read a few books that where in the room by lunch time though she was board out of her mind. She was hoping that Inuyasha would be able to talk his father into letting her spend her days in Kagome’s rooms until she awoke but she did not hold out hope for that.

At that moment Inuyasha entered their rooms with the evening meal, “I hope you are hungry I brought a little extra.”

Kikyo gave him a soft smile, “Yes I am, what did your father say?”

Inuyasha sighed as he set down the food, “He agreed to let you sit with her during the day but I have to take you there and get you at night.”

Kikyo nodded her head with a smile as she threw her arms around him in a bear hug.

Inuyasha hugged her back, “Kikyo you do know that this is just the beginning of your punishment right?”

Kikyo sighed, “Yes I know and I will accept the rest of it as well. What of Ai?”

Inuyasha grimaced when she asked, “She has already received her punishment from her father.”

Kikyo gave him a concerned look, “Was it that bad?”

Inuyasha looked away, “Yes but you have nothing to worry about father will not hand down such a harsh punishment on you and Kagome.”

Kikyo nibbled on her lip as she asked nervously, “What was Ai’s punishment?”

Inuyasha grimaced once more, “She received one-hundred lashes with a yokai whip.”

Kikyo gasped in shocked fear.
