Ch. 13- And so it begins
Johanna can't believe how much work actually goes into preparing for mating season. It's only the first day and she already feels like she ran a cross country race. She is beginning to get irritated by half the things going on and if someone asks her about the color of anything any time soon, she will scream.
At the moment she is hiding in one of the smaller gardens on the east side of the castle. This is where Sango finds her in the evening right when the sun is about to set. She spots her sitting on the grass by a small pond with her legs pulled up and her head on her knees. The demon slayer slowly makes her way over and taps her on the shoulder startling the hanyou. Sango couldn't help, but let a small giggle pass her lips. "Did I scare you?"
The half demon only glances at the slayer before returning her sight to the pond. "I'm just thinking too hard I guess. Somebody could've stabbed me and I wouldn't have noticed."
"Can I sit with you?" She receives a pat on the ground as an invitation. After getting comfortable she turns to face Johanna. "You're not regretting your decision are you?"
The redhead lets out a sigh and looks up to the sky. "I'm not regretting anything. I'm in love with him. It's just that..."
"Just that what?" Sango waits patiently for an answer.
"I was wondering how my family will handle this. I miss them so much that I worry I will never see them again. My dad said that when the time came for me to get married he would be the one to walk me down the aisle. I'm just kind of sad knowing none of them will be here to take place in something so important in my life."
Sango wraps an arm around her shoulder. "It'll be okay. Your parents may be a little disappointed, but in the end I think they will be happy that you found someone you love and who feels he same in return. Now the question is are you happy?"
Johanna decides to think about it for a moment before answering. She is kind of surprised by Sango's claim that Sesshomaru has strong feelings for her. She knows that deep down Sesshomaru has to at least care for her a little bit to have asked her to be his mate. Then there's Rin. The little girl who has a way of worming herself into anyone's heart. It has even come to the point where Johanna already considers the little chatterbox hers. A small smile appears on her face at thought that they are already a family of sorts and the mating will only make it official. Turning to face the demon exterminator her smile grows as she answers, "I guess my answer is yes I'm happy. Very happy."
"Then your family won't have any problems if they are as loving and understanding as you say. As long as you are happy and feel that you have made the right decision then nothing else matters." Sango stands up and stretches causing a few joints to pop. She looks down at Johanna and holds out a hand. "Now that we got that out the way how about we go to Kagome's room. She says she has a surprise for us."
The redhead happily took the offered hand and they made their way back to the castle towards the miko's room. They are almost there when the door to the room slams open and a red clad half-demon stomps out and goes down the opposite hallway. Both girls look at each in confusion then turn back to see Kagome sticking her head out of the room following Inuyasha with her eyes until he turns a corner.
Johanna taps her on the shoulder to get her attention. "Is everything alright Kagome?"
The miko jumps a little, not knowing the other two females were standing there. She turns to look at them with a small smile on her face and her hand over her heart. "You almost gave me a heart attack. How long have you guys been standing there?" She takes a few deep breaths to try to calm her rapidly beating heart.
Both of the newcomers laugh softly. Sango places a hand on her shoulder in apology. "Sorry, we didn't mean to scare you. We got here in time to see Inuyasha stomp off like a spoiled child who didn't get what he wanted."
Kagome giggles at the image of a pouting Inuyasha and decides it will be better if they went inside to continue their conversation. She signals for the to enter the room and after shutting the door she joins them on her four post bed that is covered pale blue sheets with white sakura blossoms intricately placed on them. Johanna is sitting with her back against the headboard with Kagome on her right and Sango on her left. "Kagome mind telling us what happened between you and Inuyasha before we got here?" she asks as she crosses her legs and hugs a pillow to her chest.
"Oh he was just mad because i told him he couldn't stay in here tonight since we're having a girls' night. He is still afraid that Naraku will try something before we can become mates." She stretches out on her stomach laying her head on her arms. "I had to promise him a month supply of instant ramen to get him to leave and he still wasn't to happy about it."
After a few laughs the girls finally get to the real reason they have gathered. Sango is the one to ask the question that is on all of their minds. "Do you guys think that we are ready to be married and mated to those guys? I mean we can always wait until the defeat of Naraku, find us some normal men, and have a normal family."
Kagome is the first to answer. "We've been through enough pain to last anyone a lifetime. Any of us might not make it through the battle, so we might as well hook up wih the guys we love now and enjoy it while we can.Besides what would we look like trying to settle for normal when we are anything but."
"Look at it this way married normal men life would be boring compared to this. Everone deserves to be happy and in love. Even if you get hurt by that love, it's better to have loved and felt pain than to never have known love at all." Johanna looks at her friends with a small smile on her face. "Now that we have that out of the way how about we have some fun."
They stay up loathe into the night talking and just enjoying each others company. All the males in the castle know to stay far unless they want to feel some serious physical pain. They are about to go to sleep when Johanna notices something when a thought of Shippo crosses her mind. "Hey Kagome where is Shippo? I'm surprised he isn't here with you."
"He's sleeping in Rin's room." She shifts in the bed to get more comfortable. "Inuyasha told him he had to get used to sleeping alone because once we mate he isn't going to sleep with us every night."
"I'm glad Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are getting along better." Johanna lets out a yawn as she closes her eyes. "I don't think the little ones could take it if they were separated for a long time."
That is the last thing said as all the occupants in the room all asleep to dream of the ones they hold dear.
Johanna is the first to awaken in the morning to a commotion in the corridor outside of the room. She slowly slides out of the bed and quietly makes her way over to the door as not to wake the others. She opens the door a little bit, but before she can see anything she hears a female voice telling someone to stop or they were going to get into a lot of trouble if Lord Sesshomaru found out. Tye one she is talking to says she doesn't care. According to their scents they are all demons except for one she can tell is a human. Wanting to know what is going on, the female half demon steps into the hall and the sight before causes her to stop suddenly.
A demoness has Rin dangling in the air by the front of her kimono. Johanna recognizes her as one of the kitchen servants named Zaniya. The demon never hides her hate towards Johanna or Rin. "The lord will be grateful that I will do so much for him. By getting rid of this little vermin and the half-breed bitch, he will no longer have any distractions and be considered weak by the other lords." As she is saying this she is shaking Rin roughly causing the little one to whimper. That sound and the smell of her tears causes Johanna to snap.
None of the other demons know she is there until she has Zaniya pinned to the wall by her throat. They watch on as the future lady of the castle's claws dig deeper into Zaniya's neck, breaking the skin forcing her to release a small cry and try to fight against the hold. They can see the eyes of Johanna begin to change colors and take a step back. he half-demons pulls her away from the wall then slams her back into it. A low growl escapes her throat ceasing the struggles of the captive. "By every right I should kill you for threatening my pup, but I won't. I'm going to leave to leave that to Sesshomaru." At the look of the demon, a smirk appears on her face. "Oh yes I'm going to tell him how you got brought down by a mere half-breed. I wouldn't want him to have the wrong information and I will tell you this." She leans in closer. "Come near pup again and I will not hesitate to kill you." She abruptly drops the demoness to the floor. "Now get the hell out of sight before I do something I won't regret."
Everyone watches as she scurries down the hall and around the corner. Johanna turns around to see a another female demon holding Rin in her lap rocking her gently. She has to restrain herself from going after the bitch anyone and killing her. After a few deep breaths, she gets herself under control. She holds her arms out and Rin immediately jumps into them. Holding the girl close, she turns to the remaining demons. "What happened before I...interrupted?"
A demon with pale skin, black hair, and silver eyes steps forward holding her head down in shame. "We were taking care of our morning duties when Miss Rin ran out of her room and right into Zaniya. She didn't even give Miss Rin enough time to apologize before she snatched her up into the air. We tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen. That's when you came upon the situation."
Johanna recognizes the scents of Sango and Kagome behind her, but ignores them for the moment. "Why didn't you alert any of us immediately?" She can feel Rin snuggle closer to her as she falls asleep.
"Zaniya is of a higher station than us. We all believed if we told she would just tell some lie and have us all beaten or worse. We all know he doesn't care about us lowly servants." Before she can say anything else, she is slapped hard across the face sending her sliding across the floor. She looks up to see a very pissed off half-demon passing Rin to Sango. The look in her eyes makes the demoness on the floor quiver in fear.
"You don't think he cares? Can you prove he has done something unjust or without cause?" Johann is surprised at how quickly she jumps to his defense. She watches as a few shake their head no. "Doesn't he make sure you're all well fed and dressed comfortably?" A few nods are received. "Then, if you can, tell me why you would believe something like that?" They continue to look at her in silence. She tries to calm down enough to go on before she snaps. "I will have to tell Se- Lord Sesshomaru about this, but I will make sure to tell him that you did try to stop Zaniya. Now get back to work before he finds us here and beats us all."
"Thank you very much Lady Johanna," they all seem to say as one. After giving deep bows, the demons quickly disappear to complete there morning chores.
The sound of a throat clearing brings Johanna out of her thoughts and finally facing her friends. She takes Rin from the demon slayer and kisses her gently on the forehead. The redhead slowly walks past the other two girls going back into Kagome's room to lay the little girl on the bed. After tucking her in, the future lady breaks the silence. "I wanted to kill her. I had to stop myself from ripping her to shreds and bathing in her blood. What is wrong with me? What am I becoming?" She begins to cry, sobbing loudly.
Kagome immediately wraps her arms around her American friend, rocking er gently. "It's okay Johanna. You did nothing wrong. You stopped yourself before you could do anything."
"I know that, but why did I feel that way. I never wanted to hurt someone that badly."
Sango sits on the other side of Johanna and rubs her back soothingly. "It's because of your demon half. Demon instincts are stronger than humans and your instincts were telling you to protect Rin at any cost, even killing. Demons are usually protective of the ones they consider close."
The miko and half-demon have a feeling their friend is also talking about a certain silver haired lord. Speaking of Sesshomaru, she thinks she better go see him now before someone else does and starts more problems in the castle. She slowly pulls away from their touches to stand. "I'll be back. Can you guys keep and eye on Rin while I go see Sesshomaru?"
A small smile appears on Kagome's face. "Don't worry about anything. We can handle everything while you deal with your future mate."
Johanna smiles and shakes her head softly as she heads for Sesshomaru's wing of the castle. As she gets closer she catches a whiff of his scent coming from his study. She inhales more of his scent causing small tingles of pleasure to race through her body. All feelings of doubt and anxiety are replaced by need and lust. Upon reaching the door, she immediately opens it without bothering to knock. The sight before her freezes her steps and causes her heart to skip a beat. The sun beaming through the windows on either side of the fireplace shine down on Sesshomaru, making him look like a demonic angel. Wen he looks up and makes eye contact, she loses all control.
Sesshomaru already knows that she is on her way to his study. He has to fight against his instincts that are telling him to go and claim her now. When he hears the door opening he refrains from flying across te desk and tries to study the scroll in front of him harder. The dog demon waits a few moments for her to say something. When she just continues to stand there, he looks up to see if something is wrong and the next thing Sesshomaru knows is he as a female half demon straddling his lap while licking his ear. He releases a low groan before pulling her head back and smashing their lips together tasting blood. He thrusts up to grind against that heated spot between her legs causing her to moan into his mouth. Sesshomaru releases her hair to slip a hand inside of her kimono gently messaging a receiving a gasp and grind against his hardened member. He lets out a low moan and licks the space between her shoulder and neck. This is when his consciousness decides to kick in and stop him from accidentally marking her early. He grabs her hips tightly to stop her from grinding against him. A whine of protest meets his sensitive ears and as a response he gently nips at her throat. "We must stop this now mate. There is still much to be accomplished before the start of the mating season."
Johanna reluctantly slides off his lap and makes her way towards the door, but stops when she remembers the reason she came in the first place. She turns back to face him. "Oh yeah. The reason I came here was to let you know I had to stop Zaniya from harming Rin."
In the blink of an eye, Sesshomaru is standing right in front of her wit his golden eyes bleeding red. "What the hell are you talking about?"
She is scared for a moment then she realizes the anger isn't directed at her, but at the dumb fuck who decided to try and harm his pup. "I came out of Kagome's room this morning to see that bitch holding Rin in the air." Johanna is beginning to get pissed all over again. "Next thing I know I have her pinned against the wall by her throat. I told her I was gonna inform you and to get out of my sight before I changed my mind about killing her. I also let her know if she ever came near my Rin again I won't hesitate to finish what I almost started."
"Why didn't you kill her right then?" 'We have picked a fine mate. She already considers the pup as hers as well.' Sesshomaru is only paying half of his attention to his inner demon waiting on an answer. It is taking all of his self restraint not to go after the stupid bitch.
"I didn't feel that it was my place to punish one of your servants. That's why I came to tell you so you can punish her as you see fit." Johanna is trying to get her anger back under control, but Sesshomaru's questioning isn't helping.
"You had every right to kill the unforgivable ingrate. You ae going to be my mate and need to act as such." He begins to pace his study.
She has to stop herself from slapping him hard as hell. "How the hell am I to know that? You have yet to explain to m,e what being your mate actually entails. I thought that until we are completely mated that I have no authority in this castle." She takes a deep breath before she says or does something regretable. "I didn't want to cause any trouble and have the whole castle in an uproar. That is the last thing we need to happen right now."
Sesshomaru knows that what she says is true, but can't curb the thoughts of torturing the treacherous wench who dare try to harm what is his. He will make the bitch pay, without so much as a whimper reaching his intended's ears. The little voice in the back of his head lets out a maniacal laugh at the thoughts. Sesshomaru is so caught up in his thoughts that he doesn't notice the look of concern Johanna is giving him. She watches his facial expressions go from pissed to thoughtful to the siniser smirk now plastered on his face. To tell you the truth it is just giving her the creeps. She waves her hand in front of his face trying to get his attention. "Hey Sesshy."
He snaps out of his daze at the nickname. "What did you just call this Sesshomaru?"
"Sesshy. Now come on, the others must be worried and Rin should be up by now." She pats his cheek gently and walks out of the study leaving a slightly confused dog demon behind. She is halfway down the hallway when she hears footsteps behind her. She doesn't bother to notice the scent thinking it is Sesshomaru. Johanna turns around and suddenly feels an intense pain in the back of her head. The last thing she sees before losing consciousness is hate filled green eyes.
**********Not far from the western lands
A deep chuckle fills the silent forest. "Well, well, well. Looks like someone has saved me the trouble of getting the hanyou out of the castle." Naraku is sitting between the roots of an ancient tree watching through Kanna's mirror as one of his poisonous insects follow from a discreet distance. He continues to watch as Zaniya drags Johanna body out of the castle gates. "Kagura, I want you to go fetch the little half-breed and thank the demoness for her hard work."
"Yes master Naraku." Kagura gives a slight bow before disappearing into the sky on her giant feather.
"I wonder if that snobbish mutt has noticed that his mate is missing. Oh how heads will roll." The glint in his eyes even gives the normally emotionless Kana goosebumps.
Thanks for reading my story. I promise to try and post chapters up faster than what I've been doing. Naraku will show up more in at least the next two chapters. Thanks again for reading.
Johanna can't believe how much work actually goes into preparing for mating season. It's only the first day and she already feels like she ran a cross country race.

The redhead lets out a sigh and looks up to the sky. "I'm not regretting anything. I'm in love with him. It's just that..."
"Just that what?" Sango waits patiently for an answer.
"I was wondering how my family will handle this. I miss them so much that I worry I will never see them again. My dad said that when the time came for me to get married he would be the one to walk me down the aisle.

He lets out a low moan and licks the space between her shoulder and neck. This is when his consciousness decides to kick in and stop him from accidentally marking her early. He grabs her hips tightly to stop her from grinding against him. A whine of protest meets his sensitive ears and as a response he gently nips at her throat. "We must stop this now mate. There is still much to be accomplished before the start of the mating season."
Johanna reluctantly slides off his lap and makes her way towards the door, but stops when she remembers the reason she came in the first place. She turns back to face him. "Oh yeah. The reason I came here was to let you know I had to stop Zaniya from harming Rin."
In the blink of an eye, Sesshomaru is standing right in front of her wit his golden eyes bleeding red. "What the hell are you talking about?"
She is scared for a moment then she realizes the anger isn't directed at her, but at the dumb fuck who decided to try and harm his pup. "I came out of Kagome's room this morning to see that bitch holding Rin in the air." Johanna is beginning to get pissed all over again. "Next thing I know I have her pinned against the wall by her throat. I told her I was gonna inform you and to get out of my sight before I changed my mind about killing her. I also let her know if she ever came near my Rin again I won't hesitate to finish what I almost started."
"Why didn't you kill her right then?" 'We have picked a fine mate. She already considers the pup as hers as well.' Sesshomaru is only paying half of his attention to his inner demon waiting on an answer. It is taking all of his self restraint not to go after the stupid bitch.
"I didn't feel that it was my place to punish one of your servants. That's why I came to tell you so you can punish her as you see fit." Johanna is trying to get her anger back under control, but Sesshomaru's questioning isn't helping.
"You had every right to kill the unforgivable ingrate. You ae going to be my mate and need to act as such." He begins to pace his study.
She has to stop herself from slapping him hard as hell. "How the hell am I to know that? You have yet to explain to m,e what being your mate actually entails. I thought that until we are completely mated that I have no authority in this castle." She takes a deep breath before she says or does something regretable. "I didn't want to cause any trouble and have the whole castle in an uproar. That is the last thing we need to happen right now."
Sesshomaru knows that what she says is true, but can't curb the thoughts of torturing the treacherous wench who dare try to harm what is his. He will make the bitch pay, without so much as a whimper reaching his intended's ears. The little voice in the back of his head lets out a maniacal laugh at the thoughts. Sesshomaru is so caught up in his thoughts that he doesn't notice the look of concern Johanna is giving him. She watches his facial expressions go from pissed to thoughtful to the siniser smirk now plastered on his face. To tell you the truth it is just giving her the creeps. She waves her hand in front of his face trying to get his attention. "Hey Sesshy."
He snaps out of his daze at the nickname. "What did you just call this Sesshomaru?"
"Sesshy. Now come on, the others must be worried and Rin should be up by now." She pats his cheek gently and walks out of the study leaving a slightly confused dog demon behind. She is halfway down the hallway when she hears footsteps behind her. She doesn't bother to notice the scent thinking it is Sesshomaru. Johanna turns around and suddenly feels an intense pain in the back of her head. The last thing she sees before losing consciousness is hate filled green eyes.
**********Not far from the western lands
A deep chuckle fills the silent forest. "Well, well, well. Looks like someone has saved me the trouble of getting the hanyou out of the castle." Naraku is sitting between the roots of an ancient tree watching through Kanna's mirror as one of his poisonous insects follow from a discreet distance. He continues to watch as Zaniya drags Johanna body out of the castle gates. "Kagura, I want you to go fetch the little half-breed and thank the demoness for her hard work."
"Yes master Naraku." Kagura gives a slight bow before disappearing into the sky on her giant feather.
"I wonder if that snobbish mutt has noticed that his mate is missing. Oh how heads will roll." The glint in his eyes even gives the normally emotionless Kana goosebumps.
Thanks for reading my story. I promise to try and post chapters up faster than what I've been doing. Naraku will show up more in at least the next two chapters. Thanks again for reading.
