Scene 19 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Garden Suite

* After moving to the end of the hall, down the two flights of white marble stairs, and down another wide hall, the pair comes to a smaller set of ornate doors. Sesshomaru steps aside and motions.

Sesshomaru-
It is customary for the mate to enter the seperation area first.

* Inuyasha hesitates, then flattens his ears as he looks up at the closed doors.

Inuyasha-
But...
Sesshomaru- Step forward, Pup.

* Inuyasha takes a shaky breath, then edges forward nervously. When he raises a hand to reach for the handle he notices that there is none. In the next instant, he is startled when one of the doors swings open. Sesshomaru nods when Inuyasha turns to look up at him.

Sesshomaru-
You are Father's son.

* The hanyou relaxes and leads the way into the luxorious quarters. The beauty of the flowery-themed decor is beyond anything he's ever seen before.

Inuyasha-
Wow.
Sesshomaru- The glass doors on the other side of this main room lead to my personal garden.. You are free to explore it. This is where we will stay until our pups are born.

* Inuyasha turns to look up at Sesshomaru again.

Inuyasha-
Only.. here? I won't be allowed to.. explore the rest...?
Sesshomaru- Once our pups are born, you will no doubt be chasing them all over the castle... But for now, you must be kept safe and comfortable... Too much activity will stress them. Besides, all you'll be doing for the next three months is eating, sleeping, and driving me crazy.

* Inuyasha watches Sesshomaru smile slightly.

Inuyasha-
I never knew you could be funny.
Sesshomaru- There's a lot we will learn about each other.. This is the purpose for the seperation period.

* The dog demon calmly moves to embrace his young mate.

Sesshomaru-
Inuyasha, these pups will be the first ones born to our clan in over five hundred years. Please, understand the importance of this.
Inuyasha- Yeah, I.. I do, but... I'm just not used to such.. treatment..

* The Alpha feels his little brother's weariness as he yawns.

Sesshomaru-
You're tired from the journey... Come.

* Sesshomaru leads Inuyasha over to the side and through a red silk curtain. As soon as Inuyasha sees the large canopied bed he just seems to gravitate toward it. Sesshomaru watches him crawl onto the bed and squirm around until he's comfortable. In no time, Inuyasha is fast asleep. Hearing the outer door open, Sesshomaru scowls and leaves the bedroom. He finds a young cat demon servant girl setting the table full of fruits and various other finger foods.

Sesshomaru-
From now on, the rope outside the door will be used to ring the bell.

* The young demoness spins startled.

Cat Demon Girl-
Yes, of course, M'Lord.
Sesshomaru- Make sure the other servants know this as well.

* The girl bows.

Sesshomaru-
Dismissed.

* With a wave of his hand, Sesshomaru sends the demoness away. He moves to look over the various delectables that were brought. After eating a handful of the red berries, he moves to touch the panel beside the main doors that lock them. He then procures another handful of the berries and returns to the bedroom. The regal demon undresses carefully, a little amazed that none of his servants have noticed his renewed arm. He then gently joins his sleeping mate on the bed. Inuyasha rolls over in his sleep and snuggles closer to Sesshomaru. This pleases the inu demon and he decides to catch some sleep himself.
