HELLO !
I was feeling generous this week, so there a new update only a few days after the previous one.
I wanted to thank the few people whom took the time to leave a review. You made my day ! So thanks to ‘aliway’, ‘lildevil0644’ and ‘courtneykogalove’. *grin*. It’s not a lot but for me it’s the World.
‘ aliway’ asked me why she wasn’t telling them and when they will find out. I will not answer the later. *grin* Hey I can’t spoil the thing ! For the reason why she can’t tell them, it will be explained in future chapters. But I can still say a little chibi detail : if she tells her identity, … We don’t really know who attacked her castle and what are the expend those people powers. You will see soon. Devils’ spies are everywhere. There are a lot of reasons why she can’t tell them right now, and you will learn them soon enough when it will be necessary. I know it is not a direct answer, but I can’t do better for the instant.
So, please, enjoy this new chapter !
Disclaimer : for the Hmphth time, I don’t own InuYasha. So stop moving the knife in the wound ! *pout*

Kagome looked up at his deep golden eyes and nodded timidly. InuTaisho made a sign to Kaede.
« InuYasha and Kaede will show you the sleeping quarter you will use until you can come back ‘in the light’ ».
« Hai »
The three walked out of the office, leaving the Lord of the West and his oldest son, alone. When the door closed, InuTaisho turned around to face his son. But, before he could open his mouth, the answer rang in the room clear and gold like a winter day.

< br> Chapter 7 : between Father and Son.
..............
« What did you say ? »
« No. » Sesshomaru repeat, flatly.
InuTaisho narrowed his golden eyes at his son. « I didn’t ask for your opinion, Sesshomaru. She will be your personal servant for the time being. She is nobility and… »
« I don’t care, Father. »
« It is really time you learn respect, Sesshomaru ! Being human don’t make her inferior to you, my son. Like I said, she is nobility so that mean she is more or less to your level. I offered her protection to hide and that’s what she will have. » He said firmly back.
« You offered, not me. So take her with you. »
« Stop being so stupid and stubborn you disrespectful pup! She came to hide so I can’t take her with me where she is known. Plus, I offered personally but by the name of the Western Lands too. She came all the way from the South to arrive here. I will not close my door to her. » InuTaisho inhaled sharply, trying to calm down. He can really feel the anger coming in waves from his son but that had to be done. A Lord never come back on his words.
« She was happy to be able to come to the Western Lands, even if there is essentially youkais and many are human-haters. Do you know why ? »
« She is crazy or stupid or may be both. » Answered stoically the young Lord.
« No, she went all the way here because there is only youkais. »
« You prove my point. »
InuTaisho closed his hands in fists to stop himself to hit his son. « Not at all. Where is the last place you will seek a human ? In a country only with youkai. She isn’t stupid but quite the opposite. »
Sesshomaru huffed. He will not, he couldn’t agree with his father. All humans are stupid, weak and smelly. End of the discussion.
« Like I said, »Continued the demon Lord of the West, « She will be your personal servant. However, remember who or more precisely what we know about her. So, do not treat her like a slave or like any others servants in this castle. You will be responsible of her care amount for keeping her secret hidden. »
Silence.
« Sesshomaru ! » Yelled InuTaisho starting to really lose his patience with his older son. What did I do so bad to have a pair of sons like that ?
« Whatever, Father. » Finished to come the response of Sesshomaru, between clenching teeth. He knew that he couldn't win but that didn't mean he had to accept without a fight. At least, he tried to resonne his father to see his point...Even if he failed. His body was shaky with rage. He had to try a last time.
The demon made a move towards the door but before opening the door he heard his son spoke again with not really well hiden anger. « How can you be so sure she isn’t a liar. Humans are like that. She could have stolen this clothes and eventually heard about the Lords in a random place. »
He sighed. Why can't he understand? « I’m sure of it. She must be the purest being I never saw in my long life. She must be a terrible liar too. If you weren't so blind because she is a human woman of course, you could have seen it with your own two very eyes. And for what she said about the Lords of the North, you know that can be true. You know how they are. If you pass the fact of being human, you should have been able to see that she is quite beautiful. »
« Don’t you think that she is too young for you, Father. » Spit in disgust, Sesshomaru.
The demon Lord of the West growled low in the back of his throat. His patience really started to dissipate in a smoke cloud. « I didn’t mean it that way ! » He barked. This time, Sesshomaru felt that it was starting to be dangerous, knowing that he didn’t have a chance against his Father. So, without a word added, his eyes lowed, and he looked at the soil like interested with all its little details. It was the most sign of submission, he was capable to show to anyone.
His father calmed down a little, or at least the light pink that had appeared in his eyes dissipated, leaving the usual golden color. He inhaled shakily and continued. « She must be around fifteen, sixteen, but no more than eighteen. Consequently, she is in age to marry or take a mate. Furthermore, someone like her and being nobility… That must be partly why she can’t tell us and can’t be seen like a guest. Somehow, even people of our court must know her, but they never really look at the maids closely. It is the only way to protect her identity for the moment. She must be of an important family of the South for the Northern Lord to go in the father Lady’s home to hook his son or himself with her. »
He sighed and looked directly in the eyes of his son. « I put my faith in you, my son. I know that I couldn’t let her in the care of your brother. He already has sometimes difficulties to take care of himself. Plus, with someone as beautiful as this young woman… »
« He would try to lay with her five minutes after you leave her to him. »
« Yeah, may be, something like that. On top of that, you are the older so it will be less suspicious for you to have a personal servant first. Plus, since she is not a real maid… »
« I don’t need someone to ‘mother’ me like him. »
InuTaisho let slip a little smile. « You see my point. So, you will keep an eye on her for me, Sesshomaru ? »
« If I must, Father. » Still as impassible.
« You must. Oh and try to temperate those nerves of yours around her. Since she is not a real servant, do not expect her to act like a slave to all your wishes and without complains. Don’t do something stupid. »
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at his Father.
« Don’t give me that face, Sesshomaru, you know perfectly of what am I talking about, exasperate. You can’t, with any pretext, touch her, even if she didn’t do things or think the same than you. Therefore, I don’t want a repeat of what happened last month. »
Sesshomaru’s jaws clenched almost painfully to avoid to answer back to his father.
« I know that she is keeping a lot of things from us… and her name is only a little part of it. But don’t push her. »
« I don’t don’t care. » giving a bore glance to the demon Lord of the West. But the Inu no Taisho insisted.
« She seems really scared that someone could possibly find her even here. She didn’t say who she was, perhaps, for different reasons. May be she is afraid that if we know who she is, we will not help her. You know that we can’t control the gossips in the court, and if her identity put her life in danger, it’s better that we don’t know, yet. Plus, if she is really from an important noble family as I think, we shouldn’t be able to prevent people from the South of knowing of her presence here in our walls. You really must keep an eye on her, my son, and it isn’t a subjection. »
He eyed his son a moment, waiting that he acknowledged his propos. When that was the case he nodded. « Good. I will take my leave then. I will explain it to her. »
He opened the door to exit but stopped and turned around. « Oh and Sesshomaru ? »
« Yes, Father ? » He answered flatly.
« Do not do anything which can tern the reputation of this family and this Land. If she is from an important family, it could be good for the relation South-West in the future. Do I make myself clear ? »
« Yes, Father. »
« Good. » And he walked out, leaving Sesshomaru behind.

End of the chapter 7.
Voilà for this new chapter. Hope you liked it.
By the way, I will work with a new politic for a moment : more I will have reviews the more rapidly you will have the following chapter. A friend says to me to try that. I’m not really a fan of that but may be it will give you the little motivation to let me some words ? Ok, never mind. Take care
