The family of the Northern Lands was received by a somewhat relieved-looking Sesshoumaru-sama and a group of guards that, they assumed, had been recuited as servants for the time being. They were led to their rooms for their stay. Aya was given the room adjoining Sesshoumaru’s as was customary for an arranged, courting couple. It was thought that the pair’s youkai would come to see they were to be mated.
As Aya was expected to spend as much of her time with Sesshoumaru before the ceremony as possible, she was unable to see much of her family. She tried in vain to remember what she had been taught so many years ago about how one should act during such a time, but found herself blurting out certain things that she probably shouldn’t have before she could even realize that she was thinking it. These outbursts seemed to amuse the Lord instead of offending him. Aya also met Sesshoumaru’s ward, Rin. The girl had bounced up to her with much enthusiasm and declared Aya her new oka-san. Aya had never met the girl before and found her endearing.
Aya found herself reminded often, however, of the mating. There were only four days until the ceremony took place. It would be the evening of the fourth day of her arrival at Sesshoumaru’s fortress. The first day was spent with him along with her family, touring the fortress and taking meals and leisure time together.
Aya awoke to her second day with her maid she had chosen to bring from home knocking insistently at her door.
“Lady Aya, please wake up, it is time to break fast shortly!”
Aya rolled out of bed and hit the floor. Groaning, she opened the door to her maid before sitting upon the chair before the vanity and submitting to the girl’s fussing. She was soon prepared to join Sesshoumaru for breakfast, and was surprised when the girl led her past the dining hall and into the gardens, where Sesshoumaru was waiting for her alone on a patch of plush grass with breakfast arrayed in front of him. He motioned for her to sit next to him. After she did so he began eating, and she followed suit.
“Today we will take time without your family. There will be plenty of time for that in the future, and I assure you they may visit when they like. However, for now, we are to acquaint ourselves.” He announced his plans for the day after a few minutes of eating.
Aya nodded her assent to his plans and smiled politely.
“I would also prefer you to be at ease with me. We are to be mated, not paired for a game of cards. I would like to know who shall be bearing my pups.” Aya blushed slightly as his declaration brought thoughts of after the ceremony to her mind.
“Okay.” She said, smiling to him.
“Tell me about yourself, what was your life like at your home?” He asked her conversationally as he popped a grape into his mouth.
Aya told him of her adoption into the family and time spent at the castle and her relationship with her brother and parents. She admitted to not being raised the way a proper Lady should and spending most of her time sparring with her brother and following him to his lessons and learning to fight with him.
“What of you, my Lord, do you have any family other than Rin?”
“I do. A brother, or rather, half-brother. My mother died when I was only twenty years of age and my father took a human to mate and she conceived a hanyou, Inuyasha.” Aya’s eyes widened slightly in realization that he spoke of the irate hanyou that traveled with Kagome. The physical similarities were there, the hair colour, the eyes. But their personalities were as different as night and day.
“What made you decide to take a mate, Sesshoumaru?”
“I had been thinking of late about an heir. Your father came to me with a proposal at the last council meeting of protecting his lands from invasion in return he would give me his only daughter, a fine, beautiful, strong and powerful inuyoukai female.”
Aya smiled at his flattery and looked away from him. Taking a final drink from his glass, Sesshoumaru stood.
“Would you care to join me for a walk, my Lady?” He extended a hand to her still sitting form and pulled her to her feet.
Hisoka watched the pair with a smile on his face. He patted his mate’s back and spoke to her. “See, they will be happy together. We are not abandoning her to a life of confinement and cruelty, love.”
----
The day was almost through and Aya felt a lot better about this mating business that was at hand. After spending the day with Sesshoumaru she felt that he was someone she could come to love in time. He was obviously very loving and formed strong relationships, as she saw the look in his eyes when Rin came to present them with a bouquet of wildflowers. He even tried to teach his half brother to fight when they would cross paths. Inuyasha hated him, but Sesshoumaru still tried to aid the pup whenever he could.
They were currently sitting at a bench under a tree near the gardens. They had just been speaking about the oddity that was Inuyasha’s bitch, Kagome. Sesshoumaru looked to the sky and sighed. “It appears that it is nearing time for the evening meal, let us return and you may be with your family for a while.” They rose and Sesshoumaru placed a hand on her lower back as he led her back along the path toward the fortress. At the somewhat intimate touch, Aya felt her youkai begin to stir in reaction to Sesshoumaru’s advance.
Before they came to the end of the path that would place them once again in the main grounds of the fortress Sesshoumaru halted and turned toward Aya with pink-tinged eyes. He took her chin in his hand and turned her face to him. He studied her face for a quick minute before lowering his lips to hers. Aya’s youkai surged within her and she felt for the first time in her life feelings beyond simple attraction to a male. Her youkai was recognizing him as the one she was to mate, and a feeling of longing rose in her. She felt Seshoumaru’s tongue at her lips and she opened her mouth to him.
He pulled her close to him as he delved into her mouth, tasting her and familiarizing himself with her body as his hands moved along her back and sides. Unconsciously she moved her arms to encircle his neck and pulled herself closer to him. Aya’s youkai had only stirred so strongly before when confronted with a true hunt. But it was so different now. The pull of her youkai was strong, but not with the urge to chase and kill. Her youkai wanted to mate this male, it recognized the strength that Sesshoumaru held and that he would be a suitable sire to her pups.
Sesshoumaru’s grip on her hips tightened and he stiffened a moment before pulling away from her. His eyes were nearly red, as she was sure hers were also. Closing his eyes to gather himself and brace against his youkai’s call, Aya watched as he calmed into his normal state. He growled softly at her and she found the sound calming to her youkai.
“We must return to the fortress for dinner. Your family is no doubt awaiting us.” Aya nodded to him as she straightened her kimono. Together, they entered the dining hall to begin the evening meal with the family of the Northern Lands.
----
Sesshoumaru was thoroughly embarrassed. He felt as though he was some immature youngling again, not yet in control of his youkai. He had meant for his hand to fall to the small of her back, but the kiss he was saving for another day. His youkai had risen inside him until his eyes began to tint red and he turned her to him, there was a struggle with himself which he again lost for the time being and then he kissed her. He tasted her essence, and found himself desperately wanting more.
Shaking his head slightly to himself he wandered what happened to send him so silly for this girl. Yes, she was beautiful, strong, and she smelled of cold, snowy winter nights, but many other females were also beautiful, powerful and smelled very appealing. He had to gain control of himself, he only had two more days before the ceremony, surely he could hold his persistent youkai at bay until then, couldn’t he?
As they entered the dining hall he nodded pleasantly to the girl’s family. He wouldn’t let on how badly he wanted her, family members normally didn’t take well to that sort of thing. He glanced at the downtrodden family. They were obviously very close and this was tearing them apart inside.
Rin seemed oblivious to the family’s somber mood and sat bubbling with glee at the new addition to the family. Her smile grew even brighter when she saw the two of them enter so closely together. Having observed some of the other mated couples, her bright young mind told her that her otou-san and her new oka-san were getting along well. Sesshoumaru-sama would only allow the best for her.
----
The next day breakfast was shared with everybody and Aya’s mother announced that she wished the morning to discuss “female things” with her daughter. None of the males wished the details of these “things” so it was granted that Makoto was given until noon meal with Aya to discuss whatever she wished.
Thw two went to the rooms that Makoto and Hisoka were given and the males stayed in the dining hall. Hisoka wanted a word with the young lord before his daughter was no longer his. He knew it was silly and possessive of him, but he felt the need to express himself on the issue. Rei also seemed like he wanted to know Sesshoumaru better, as he would be the boy’s brother by mating now.
“Aya, I didn’t get the chance to talk to you at home about the details of this mating business. Do you have anything you want to ask me?” Aya blinked at her mother.
“Yes, well, I thought that was what you would say” more blinking. “so I thought I would just ask: has your youkai awakened to him yet? Do you feel it?”
Aya blushed as she thought of the other night on the way to the dining hall. Her mother smiled at her.
“The feelings will become stronger in the next few days. Your youkai will come to consider him as your mate and it will urge you to mate him. He will smell the change in your scent and he will lust for you as his mate as well..” Aya turned even redder as thoughts of mating entered her head. “You must be somewhat discreet with your actions, however. As both of your youkai become fully awakened, it will become harder and harder to keep control, especially for him.”
Aya nodded, acknowledging her mother’s advice. It had seemed as though that was what was happening last night when Sesshoumaru kissed her. His eyes had begun to change and she felt as though she and her body were of two separate minds.
“So, what do you think of him?” Her mother giggled as Aya playfully slapped her arm.
----
A servant arrived in Makoto’s chambers to summon them to the noontime meal. Aya wasn’t sure if she would be able to look at Sesshumaru after all the things her mother had proceeded to tell her that morning. She was fifty one years old and hardly innocent, she spent most of her time in the company of her brother and his friends after all. However, she had never mated fully before and found her mother’s details concerning the specifics of inuyoukai mating rituals to be rather graphic.
As they entered the dining hall, Aya found her father, brother and Sesshoumaru awaiting them. There was an empty seat next to Sesshoumaru that he gestured for Aya to take. Blushing as she approached him, she gracefully lowered herself to the coushion.
“I trust that you and your mother had a pleasant time together this morning.” Sesshoumaru’s tone was that of an inquiring statement. This only made Aya blush even brighter and she quickly took a bite of food to distract herself. Makoto smiled to herself and her mate raised an inquiring eyebrow. She merely grinned secretively at him and turned to her meal. Rei rolled his eyes, guessing from the look on his sister’s face what the topic of discussion had been.
“Guests will begin to arrive shortly for the ceremony tomorrow. Some of my father’s old friends will be arriving today, as they feel privileged and it is bad manners for me to refuse them early arrival.” A hint of humor flickered across the young lord’s face. Aya smiled at the mirth in his eyes at his joke. “I must also invite my half-brother’s company, since he is, technically, an heir of the western lands and a lord, though you would not guess it from his barbaric conduct.” Aya snickered at the thought of Inuyasha at a formal banquet.
“When will he be arriving?”
“Most likely soon. If his bitch, Kagome, learns of it she will insist they attend, the whole lot of them. Though his companions are not so objectionable as he.”
As if on cue there was a crashing noise outside the door and Inuyasha burst in followed by his group. There was a flock of flustered servants in their wake begging Inuyasha to wait until noon meal was finished. Inuyasha looked angry, though Aya didn’t know why. He had been invited at least.
“What do you need so urgently, Inuyasha?”
The family of the Northern Lands was received by a somewhat relieved-looking Sesshoumaru-sama and a group of guards that, they assumed, had been recuited as servants for the time being. They were led to their rooms for their stay. Aya was given the room adjoining Sesshoumaru’s as was customary for an arranged, courting couple.
