Recap of Last Chapter:

She knew that she was at least physically attracted to him. She only wondered if her feelings went beyond that. After pondering this question for a few minutes she decided that she had the rest of the week alone with Sesshoumaru to decide how she felt about the Lord of the Western lands. She fell asleep with the face of a certain youkai, in her mind.

Chapter Six: Off to see the Lord

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

The next morning Amarante sat up in her bed while thinking of things that had happened the day before after Inuyasha had left her alone, in the East wing of the castle.

FLASHBACK

xXxXxXxXxXxX xXxXx

They were all seated in the dining hall for dinner. The Northern lands dining hall was decorated in light pinks, Aneko’s favorite color. Amarante had noticed over the years since
her parents deaths, more and more things in the Northern castle became pink.

Aneko was seated at the head of the table, as all Lords and Lady’s are. The now present Oki was seated opposite her at the other end of the table. The twins sat on either side of
Aneko, Tama on her left, Amé on her right, and the others were dispersed between the twins and Oki.

Although they had gotten closer a short time before hand, Amé and Inuyasha found themselves at opposite ends of the table. It was Shippou who resided beside Amé, not that she
minded, she knew that Tama would have something to say later on the situation of herself and Inuyasha, but at that moment she didn’t really care. There was some small talk at
dinner, but nothing really that eventful had happened.

After dinner Amé showed Sango, Kilala, and Shippou to the room that they would be staying in. She then retired to her own room after saying goodnight to Oki on her way. She
had sat at the desk in her room for a few moments, thinking of her old friend Sesshoumaru. It was something she did every night. She had never forgotten about her promise to
return to Sesshoumaru, it was merely that she did not have the courage to face him again. She was told by Aneko that it would be considered treachery to return to the Western
lands without the permission of the Lady. At that time, Amarante was young as she listened to the rule of her sister.

Now that she was older, she really did not care about what her sister tried to do to her. However, now that she had the ability to go to the Western lands, she feared the way that
the young Lord would act. It had been nearly a hundred years since she had last seen him, yet every night, whether she be at home in the Northern castle, or on the move looking
for jewel shards, she would take a moment to think about her old friend.

She was interrupted from her thoughts by a knock on her door. “Come in.” She said softly, knowing that it was loud enough for her brother who stood outside the door. When the
door opened Tama walked into the room and sat down on her bed. “Please, have a seat.” She joked at her twin.

“Don’t mind if I do.” Tama smirked as he moved back further on the bed resting his head against the wall behind it.

“Did you want something, or did you just come to bother me?” Amarante questioned him as she stood up from the chair and moved over to the bed with her brother.

“I want to talk to you about Inuyasha.” Tama answered while turning to his sister.

“What about Inuyasha?” She asked.

“I want to know what is going on between the two of you.” Tama said honestly with a questioning glance.

“Nothing that I know of.”

“I know something happened while I was gone earlier. Remember I’m your onii, I know when things happen to you.” Tama smirked at her as she sighed.

“You’re right, something did happen while you were gone, though I must say that I’m not quite sure that it meant anything. You my dear onii, have nothing to worry about.” Amé
answered truthfully, at her words Tamasine removed himself from her bed and began walking toward the door. He opened the door and turned back toward her.

“Just be careful, he’s hiding something, I can feel it.” Tama said as he left the room and closed the door behind him. Amé continued sitting one her bed for a few minutes. She
was taking into consideration what her onii had said. It was true, Inuyasha had been hiding something, his promise to Kikyou. He had also been hiding that he was a prince. But
were either of those two things something that she and Tama needed to know? Not really, they were merely pieces of information about a person’s life that would not really
change the outcome of another’s life.

She was once again interrupted by a knock on her door. This time it was the less familiar smell of Inuyasha at the other side of her door. “Come in Inuyasha.” At her words the
door opened and the hanyou walked slowly into the room. He closed the door behind him and leaned up against it. “What do you need Inuyasha?”

“ I wanted to talk to you about, earlier today. My behavior was... unacceptable. I should not have acted the way I did upon returning from my meeting with Kikyou.” Inuyasha
replied softly while looking toward the youkai before him.

“What do you mean Inuyasha?” She questioned him, already agreeing with him.

“I do care about you Amarante, I just fear that I asked too much of you, I fear that it might damage our relationship because of us not knowing of one another well enough.”
Inuyasha answered honestly, fearing her reply.

“I agree completely with you Inuyasha, though I must say, this afternoon was not entirely your fault.” She said with a soft smile playing at her lips.

“That it was not.” He smirked. “I’ll see you in the morning Amé.” He smiled as he opened the door and swiftly removed himself before giving her a chance to reply.

END FLASHBACK

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Amarante had decided that her conversation with Inuyasha the night before, had been in their best interest. She knew that they had been moving things too quickly, though she
didn’t mind that part too much. She also knew that if there was ever going to be anything other than a physical relationship between the two, they were going to have to bond with
one another first.

She was still lying on her bed when the door opened and Oki walked into her room. “Knock much Oki?”

“Not often, besides, don’t act like you didn’t know that I was coming.” Oki joked as she walked over to her sisters bed and sat down beside her. “You and I need to have a little
chat my onee.”

“Oh, and what about?” Amé questioned.

“I want to know about you and that really cute hanyou that was at dinner last night.” Oki smirked.

“Who told you? You weren’t even here!” Amé laughed at her sister.

“No one told me... okay maybe I had a small meeting with the cute little kitsune this morning.” Oki smiled.

“Okay, if you must know, which I know you do because otherwise you will bug me for another three years about it, Inuyasha and I have both admitted an interest in one another.”
Amarante answered her sister.

“How so?”

“You know I hate talking about this stuff Oki.” Amé teased. “Inuyasha and I have kissed but have talked about becoming better acquainted before it happens again, to make sure
that there is more than a physical attraction between us.”

“Sounds like a good idea to me.” Oki smiled.

“Well thank you for your permission oh great Oki-sama.” Amarante smiled as she pushed her sister playfully.

“No problem.” Oki winked. “Anyway, I came up to tell you that breakfast is nearly finished so you should go and get ready.”

“Arigatou Oki.” Amé said as her little sister got up to leave the room. Once Oki had left the room, Amarante got out of her bed and went to her closet at the other side of the
room. She took out one of her usual purple kimono’s, which she had around ten of the same kimono. She changed from her nightgown into her kimono. She had then left for
breakfast. At breakfast she knew a few things would go differently than normal.

First off this would be the first time that Inuyasha and the others had ever seen her without her signature green and purple cloak that she wore over her purple kimono. Without the
cloak, her form was shown off much more due to the fact that her kimono hugged her body perfectly, showing off all of what Kami had given her.

She smiled as she sat down at the table, not missing the obvious looks of approval from Inuyasha and Miroku, and also the look of disapproval from Tama who saw the way that
Inuyasha and Miroku had been looking at his sister. It was now known to all of those who were not an heir to the Northern lands, that the sister with the looks was definitely
Amarante.

Aneko and Oki both always wore their traditional kimono’s. Aneko, though refined and dignified as she was, was clearly gifted with a figure like that of a twiggy man. She had
no breasts, no hips, no curves at all to speak of. Nor did she carry an angelic face the way that Amé did. She also had the personality of a rock, in other words, none. She perhaps
could rival the frosted heart of even Sesshoumaru.

Oki, although she was quite beautiful, was not nearly old enough to harbor the curves that would be able to rival Amé’s. Although she had been alive for a long time, her body
had only aged enough to be equal with that of a thirteen year old ningen.

Aneko looked in disgust at how Amarante presented herself at breakfast, she clearly did not agree with the way Amé was dressed, although she did actually have on a kimono
that covered more of her body than Aneko’s did. All in all, Aneko was jealous of Amarante. This was the main reason that Amé had been forced to come back to the Northern
castle after spending so many years with Sesshoumaru. When it came to the truth, Aneko wanted Sesshoumaru for herself. She was outraged when she found that her father had
arranged a marriage between her younger sister and the man that she wanted to herself.

She did not care about her father’s reasoning of her not being able to marry the first in line for a Lordship because she, herself was first in line in her own lands. All she wanted
was Sesshoumaru. Something that to this day she still wanted. Had she known that the young hanyou that she was currently housing was his younger brother, she may have tried to
use that in her advantage. But she did not know, there for she could not.

The group finished their breakfast rather quickly and found themselves sitting at the table talking. “Amarante, do you think that maybe I could go with you guys this time?” Oki
asked her sister from the other end of the table.

“I don’t think so Oki, you know the rules, Tama and I go out, while you stay here with Aneko.” Amé replied to her sister.

“But I won’t be a problem this time, I have another month until my transformation and we’ll be back before then.” Oki fought with her sister.

“I said no.” Amé replied to her.

“Come on Amarante, I don’t see any harm in it.” Inuyasha smiled at her. His smile however did not last for very long. At the end of his sentence Amé shot a green ball of light at
him, one much like the one that she had sent at Tama the first day that they all had met. The green light hit him in the chest and knocked him and his chair over onto the floor.
“What the hell was that for you stupid wench!” Inuyasha yelled back at her as he began getting up. She held up her hand again with the green light flowing around her fingertips
and pointed it at him.

“Do you want more?” She asked him.

“No!” He whimpered and them jumped behind Miroku’s chair while Miroku and the others laughed at him.

“Can I please go Amé?” Oki asked after everyone had stopped laughing. “I promise to behave, and I’ll take Suki incase I get into trouble.”

“Alright, fine, but you misbehave one time and I’m sending you right back here.” Amé smiled at her younger sister.

“I don’t think that you should go.” Aneko stated from her seat at the opposite end of the table.

“What, why not?” Oki asked her sister.

“Because I am your Lady and your guardian and I said no.” Aneko smirked at the girl who was now becoming angry.

“Aneko, why don’t you just go back to your tower and leave the discipline to me. Oki is old enough to decide if she wants to or not.” Tama replied.

“You would think that with who I am that my own family would respect me.” Aneko huffed as she got up from the table and stormed to her hall.

“And the onee is whipped.” Tama joked.

“Why don’t we all go pack up our things and meet out front of the castle?” Sango suggested as the group got up to leave from the table. Those around her mumbled their
agreements and everyone went to go and get their things. Amé followed Oki to her room and took the necklace with the jewel shards out of the wall and then with a small ‘see
ya’ to her sister, walked out of Oki’s bedroom and then went to her own room.

She walked around her room for a few moments. She placed the necklace back around her neck and picked her cloak up off of the back of the chair that it resided on and placed it
on as well. After a few more minutes of walking around in her room and collecting her thoughts, she walked over to the window to see how many of the others had made it
outside. She saw everyone except for Inuyasha and Tama outside. She decided to go ahead and go out front.

She walked out of her room and began walking down the hallway. As she did so a familiar scent reached her nose and an even more familiar arm placed itself around her waist.
The person beside her leaned over to her ear and began to whisper to her.

“You know, you looked a lot better without that cloak on.” Inuyasha smirked. Amarante pushed him away playfully.

“I didn’t like the way that Miroku was starring at me.” Amé smiled. Then Inuyasha caused the two of them to pause momentarily in their walking.

“You know that I’d protect you from that hentai.” He smiled at her and then placed a soft kiss on her temple before he resumed his walking down the hallway with her following
beside him. They continued walking until the reached the outside where everyone else seemed to be waiting on the two remaining comrades for the journey. None of them knew
of the plot of the one who remained in the castle.

Author’s note: So hello my friends! I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they know which of Naraku’s parents was demon and which was human. I don’t know if it’s ever
been talked about but it would help me out a little bit. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter.

Chapter Quotes:

“Don’t mind if I do.” Tama smirked as he moved back further on the bed resting his head against the wall behind it. -- Tama is a goofball... here’s more proof... I think we need to
find Tama a woman... really I do.

“I do care about you Amarante, I just fear that I asked too much of you, I fear that it might damage our relationship because of us not knowing of one another well enough.”
Inuyasha answered honestly, fearing her reply. -- This is so OOC that it’s just funny.

“Who told you? You weren’t even here!” Amé laughed at her sister. -- This is the part where I add that I find Oki to be the sneaky little sister who no one ever notices that she
goes around and collects dirt on them all... perhaps it really wasn’t Shippou that she talked to ;)

“No!” He whimpered and them jumped behind Miroku’s chair while Miroku and the others laughed at him. -- Back to our real Inuyasha here... stupid and funny.

“You know, you looked a lot better without that cloak on.” Inuyasha smirked. Amarante pushed him away playfully.-- And here’s perverted Inuyasha... trying to put him back into
character is fun!

“You know that I’d protect you from that hentai.” He smiled at her and then placed a soft kiss on her temple before he resumed his walking down the hallway with her following
beside him. -- And the last parts of Inuyasha. Inuyasha as a protector and Inuyasha as a lover... my favorite two parts :D

There were a lot in this chapter... Oh well...
