Chapter 8: What!

"Lady Kiri, it's time to get up"

"Five more minutes"

"But lady Kiri, lord Sesshoumaru ordered me to get you, you are required to join him at breakfast"

"All right, all right I'll get up" Kiri groaned and rolled over to see a maid standing at her bedside waiting for her. The maid was shorter then Kiri by three inches. She had emerald green eyes and raven black hair that came down to her shoulder blades.

"Oh, you're the same maid from the other day"

"Yes, I was assigned to you by Lord Sesshoumaru, I am your maid now"

"Please just call me Kiri, saying Lady makes me sound old…well if your going to be my maid I guess I need to know your name"

Yes, my name is Meru"

"Meru…that's a nice name"

"Thank you, would you like me to pick out an outfit for you?"

"Yes please"

Meru walked over to the closet to pick a kimono while Kiri slowly got out of bed still trying to wake up.

"Here Kiri, how about this one?"

"Its beautiful" It was white with golden colored moon and stars embroided every where

"You must hurry and dress quickly, Lord Sesshoumaru does not like people being late" the maid rushed

All right, all right" Kiri moaned as she slipped on the kimono and brushed her hair. Once ready Meru took Kiri to the dinning room. Meru pushed open the door and announced Kiri. "Lady Kiri is here Lord Sesshoumaru"

"Bring here in then" Sesshoumaru ordered

"Yes Lord Sesshoumaru" The maid scurried out of the room only to return with Kiri by her side.

Sesshoumaru was sitting at the head of the table with Rin seated to his left and an empty chair to his right where Kiri was to sit. Meru walked Kiri to his seat and quickly left. Once Kiri was seated the servants started spilling into the room as if on command. Wide eye Kiri looked over to Sesshoumaru and all she could say was `wow'

"I didn't know what you liked so I had the cooks make some of everything" Sesshoumaru answered

"It's ok Miss Kiri, he did the same thing for me" Rin spoke up. Kiri nodded "Are you going to be my new mommy?"

"No Rin she is just visiting" Sesshoumaru answered before Kiri could

"I could be your friend thought" Kiri finally spoke

"Ok, now I can have another friend, Jaken isn't very fun to play with because he yells a lot"

"Enough Rin, eat your food" Sesshoumaru scolded. Rin quitted down which left an uncomfortable silence.

They all ate in silence except an occasional hum from Rin

"I'm done now, can I go play in the garden?" Rin asked

"Yes Rin you may"

"Can Miss Kiri come play too?"

"No, I need to speak to her, then maybe she can play"

"Ok" Rin hoped up and ran out of the room towards the garden

Sesshoumaru ate in silence thinking over what he wanted to say when he was interrupted by Kiri. "So what did you want to talk to me about?"

"…"

"Again with the silence?"

"I brought you here to be Rin's mother"

"WHAT!" Kiri almost choked on her drink "What do you mean be Rin's mother?"

"Exactly what I said, Rin is getting older and needs a another female around, a mother figure"

"Wait a minute I can't stay here, I have friends that are probably worried about me AND going after Naraku think he either killed me or has me locked up in a dungen some where"

"What if I send Jaken to tell them that you are safe?"

"If you send Jaken then they will know that you have me, therefore causing them to come get me" Kiri said hopping that would work

"Then I will send someone else other than Jaken, perhaps your maid Meru"

"I don't know I'll have to think about it…may I be excused?" Kiri said admitting defeat.

"Yes you may"

"Umm, where is the garden?"

"Go through that door to where the maids are and have Meru take you"

"Uh, ok" Kiri did what he said and went to the door and got Meru to take her to the garden. Once there Kiri would have been knocked down to the ground by Rin if it wasn't for Meru who caught who caught her before she fell.

"Hello miss Kiri are you here to play with me now?" The energetic girl asked

"Yes Rin I am and you can just call me Kiri ok"

"Ok, lets go pick flowers" Rin yelled grabbing Kiri's hand and ran off to some flower patch

Kiri sat down by the pond under the cherry tree watching Rin pick flowers and chase butterflies. She was wearing three flower bracelets, two necklaces, and one crown all made by Rin. `Maybe I should stay and be Rin's mother… one should be left without a mother, I know from experience, it might not be that bad, and at least my friends will know that I am safe' Kiri thought.

Meanwhile in Sesshoumaru's study Sesshoumaru was going over some paper work with Jaken. Some work that has been log forgotten since a certain long hair hanyou came along.

"Lord Sesshoumaru" Jaken interrupted

"Yes?"

"What if Lady Kiri decides not to stay?"

"Then she will not get a say in the matter, if she decides to say no she will stay anyways"

"Yes Lord Sesshoumaru"

"Jaken I want you to get a maid and go get some clothes for Kiri"

"Yes Lord Sesshoumaru" Jaken scurried out of the room to quickly find a maid.

Just as Sesshoumaru was about to get back to work he was interrupted yet again by a knock on the door. "Come in"

"Umm, hi" Kiri crept in " I came to talk"

"Very well, sit down" Sesshoumaru pointed to a chair "What was that you wanted to talk about?" he asked as Kiri sat down.

"I wanted to talk about what you said, about being Rin's mother…I will stay, not for you but for Rin, every child needs a mother"

"good" when Kiri said this Sesshoumaru felt something. Something like joy but of course he would never admit that he was happy when Kiri decided to stay. "I will send Meru to deliver a message to Inuyasha"

"But I have one deal" Kiri interrupted

"What is it?"

"If I am to be Rin's mother I can teach her any way I want"

"Deal" with that they shook hands ending the deal "I will go send Meru" After making the deal Sesshoumaru and Kiri left. Sesshoumaru went left to find the maid Meru and Kiri went right, back to the gardens to go tell Rin that she will be having a new mother.

Taking a left then a right Sesshoumaru finally got to the maids Quarters where Meru will most likely be. Without knocking on the door Sesshoumaru walked into the room to see Meru.

"Lord Sesshoumaru what may I do for you?" the maid asked

"I am here to send you on a mission, Jaken is going to take you to Kiri's companions and I want you to tell them that Kiri is not with Naraku and she is safe where she is. That is all you are to say, do not answer any of their questions just tell them and leave, Jaken is to stay hidden he cannot be seen got it?" Sesshoumaru demanded.

"Yes Lord Sesshoumaru, I will leave right away" Meru answered and ran out of the room.
