Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or its characters. The honor goes to Rumiko Takahashi.
I have been cooped up in this godforsaken bedchamber for two days and I am already going out of my mind. There are just so many things you can do in a bedchamber to occupy the time. It if wasn’t for Rin and Sesshoumaru visiting me every once in a while, I would have completely gone insane by now. And this heat of mine wasn’t helping the situation either. Every time Sesshoumaru would enter the bedchamber alone, I would jump him. And let’s just say that he never refused me either.
It just so happen that this was one of the times that I jumped him and he was laying down next to me in the rumpled bed. “I need to discuss some things with you, mate. Before you get angry with me would you please just hear me out?” I asked, watching him nod his head.
“The other day when you believed Asuka over me, I was deeply hurt. You should have believed me, your mate, instead of your mistress. Yes, I did threaten her but it I have a good reason for doing so. You see, Rin told me that Asuka hit her. I consider Rin as my pup and that is when I threatened harm against Asuka. She deserved it. I will not apologize to her, even if you force me too.
I also want to ask you if I can visit my friends and let them know what happened to me. I am sure that by now they are worried about my safety and are searching for me as we speak. You could even go with me and protect me if you wish. I also want Shippo to come and live with us here in the palace. I grew fond of him over the years and consider him as my own son. I believe you know how I feel considering you think of Rin as your own daughter.
I need to practice with my bow and arrows. I have mastered the skill as a human but as a demon, I don’t know how my skills have changed. I also want you to teach me how to fight with a sword in battle. And before you say that I have no need of such a thing and that you will always protect me, just hear me out. Naraku has become even more powerful and I witnessed first hand how much power he has gained. When I was in the forest he crept up on me before I had the chance to sense his aura. He even offered me a chance to join his group of misfits.”
Sesshoumaru growled at this bit of information. “Why didn’t you tell this Sesshoumaru that he propositioned you?”
“Does it really matter, mate? I turned him down. Isn’t that enough?” I asked, concerned that he would punish me for keeping it from him. I really didn’t think that it was important.
Sesshoumaru nuzzled my mating mark to clam himself down. After a few minutes, he was calm and ready to talk to me. “This changes everything, mate. Obviously, he knows of the power you process and wants this power for himself.”
“It doesn’t make sense to me. Why would he attempt to kill me and leave me for dead if he wanted my power,” I spoke out loud not realizing it. “Is this the power that you are after for yourself?”
“This Sesshoumaru doesn’t have need of your power. This Sesshoumaru is powerful in his own right,” he said, getting out of the bed and wrapping a white robe around his naked form.
I followed his example and got out of bed to put on my own white robe. I went to stand by him on the balcony, overlooking the garden. “Then why are you so upset about
Naraku?”
He didn’t answer me and I grew upset. Why won’t he talk to me? This is why we have relationship problems. He won’t open up to me. “Tell me why, mate? Why does it bother you so much?” I tried asking him again.
“You will be out of heat soon so this Sesshoumaru will take you to visit your friends and collect the fox demon. As for the weapon training goes, this Sesshoumaru has no problem with it. This Sesshoumaru is pleased that you want to protect yourself and those around you. It will come in handy when this Sesshoumaru is not here and the pups need protection,” he said, trying to go back to the previous discussion.
“Pups, what do you mean? Rin is the only pup here and we haven’t collected Shippo yet? He might even decide not to come with me.” I became a little sad after saying this. He does have a choice and I will not force it on him.
Sesshoumaru looked down at me. “This Sesshoumaru would have thought that you figured it out by now. You are currently pupped, mate. Your symptoms should start after your heat ends.”
I placed my hand on my abdomen. “I’m pregnant,” I whispered. “I’m going to be a mother.”
Sesshoumaru placed his hand on top of mine. “You carry this Sesshoumaru’s heir. For now, we will keep this fact hidden until the pup is developed further. This Sesshoumaru does not want his enemies to learn of your pregnancy and use this information against him.”
“May I tell Inuyasha and the others?” I asked.
Sesshoumaru shook his head. “No, but this Sesshoumaru will let you tell them first when it is time. Someone might over hear about the pup.”
I smiled. “I understand, mate. It’s our little secret. Do you think its going to be a male or female? I hope that it’s a female.”
“It will be a male first. We will work on the female pup later,” he stated smugly, making me laugh. He moved behind me and wrapped his arms around my abdomen. I leaned my head against his chest.
“You know that I am going to eat a lot and have these weird cravings for food, like raw meat. Are you sure you can put up with me then?” I asked smiling, knowing that he would. I wanted to ask him if he loved me but it was too soon for that. I already knew what his answer would be to that question.
He gave me a perverted grin that rivaled Miroku. “Do those weird cravings also involve pleasures of the flesh? This Sesshoumaru would gladly help you in that particular area.” I blushed and my mate chuckled.
He held me a little longer before pulling away. “This Sesshoumaru must get back to his duties. But before this Sesshoumaru does, he wishes to give you presents,” he said, walking towards his discarded clothes on the floor. He bended over and I got a great view of his backside. He reached into a pocket and pulled out three presents all wrapped in pretty pink paper.
“You even had someone wrap them in my favorite color. Alright, what did you do?” I joked, losing my smile when I saw that he was serious. “Mate, did I say something wrong?”
Sesshoumaru placed the gifts within my hands. “No, you did nothing wrong. This Sesshoumaru was the one who wronged you.” I realized that he was apologizing for the incident with Asuka. He must have learned the truth from Rin and this was the only way he could do it, without uttering the actual words.
To show him that I accepted his apology, I began to open the gifts. “Oh my goodness, their so beautiful,” I said, holding up two onyx combs engraved with sapphire crescent moons. I then opened another gift. This time it was a necklace with a string of white pearls with a black pearl set on a silver disc. I stared at it in confusion.
“That is the Meidouseki. It once belonged to this Sesshoumaru’s mother. It is now yours,” he told me, taking from my hand and fastening it around my neck. “Never take it off, for it’s powers will protect you.”
“What powers?” I asked him.
He ran his claws lightly over the black pearl. “It is said that the necklace opens to a portal. That it gives its wearer unlimited power.”
“Then why give it to me? Shouldn’t you keep it?”
Sesshoumaru shook his head. “No, this Sesshoumaru does not want or need it powers. My mother once warned my father about using it for personal gain. Besides, could you imagine this Sesshoumaru wearing a female’s necklace?”
I laughed, picturing what he had just described. “I guess you’re right, mate. Now, let’s see what else you got me.” I opened the last package and lifted up a sapphire crescent moon ring. I immediately put it on my left ring finger.
“Why did you put it on that finger?” Sesshoumaru asked me. “No one wears jewelry on that finger. It’s unheard of.”
I smiled, raising my hand up to eye level to stare at it. “In my village, it is custom for a girl to wear a ring that her mate gives her on this finger. It shows that she belongs to him and only him. It symbolizes my faithfulness and obedience.”
Sesshoumaru nodded. “Then you must leave it there. We can’t have you going against tradition, hmm?” He whispered, pulling me into his arms and placed his lips upon mine.
We heard soft knock on the door, which traveled through out the entire bedchamber. Sesshoumaru growled as he pulled away from my lips. “Yes, what is it?” he called out angrily. He was upset for having his time with his mate interrupted.
Jaken entered the room, seeing us in an embrace and quickly averted his beady eyes. “Messengers from the Northern and Southern lands arrived. It seems your cousin has joined with Naraku and they are declaring war against the lords.”
“Our time together had ended, mate. This Sesshoumaru must see to this matter immediately,” he said, pulling away from me and donning on his clothes. “Jaken, meet me in the study.”
“Yes milord, right away,” Jaken spoke quickly, running to do his lord’s bidding.
Sesshoumaru leaned over and placed a kiss on my forehead. “Do not wait up for this Sesshoumaru and do not leave this room.” He said, exiting the bedchamber and leaving me alone once again.
