I tilted my head slightly to the side and glanced back towards my mate from the corners of my icy blue colored eyes. I wanted to see his reaction to my defiance. I shivered slightly when his cold golden colored eyes focused on me. Unknowingly, I pulled Inuyasha’s red fire rat jacket tighter around me for his scent gave me comfort. I received a warning growl from Sesshoumaru. He didn’t want the smell of another male upon his mate.
‘Come back to this Sesshoumaru’s side. You were not given permission to leave.’ He spoke to me in the secret language of dog demons. He didn’t want the others to hear our conversation and I knew it would probably turn ugly. Most of our conversations do.
The language of the dog demons sound like barks and yips to others outside our species. Inuyasha will only be able to pick up a few words here and there but he will not be able to hear the entire conversation. He is only a half demon. Somehow, his human side interferes with the process.
‘You have hurt me mate with your words. I will not return to your side for the time being. I need time apart from you.’ I shrugged my shoulders when I noticed the looks the others were giving us. I could tell that they desperately wanted to know what we are talking about, especially Inuyasha. He wants to make sure no harm comes to me.
Sesshoumaru didn’t like my choice of words and dug his claws into the table. His eyes flickered between his normal color and red. He was trying to keep his emotions in check.
‘You will do what this Sesshoumaru tells you to. This Sesshoumaru is your alpha and he demands that you return to his side now.’
‘I told you that I would not!’ I gripped the chair’s sides. I was getting angrier with every single word that came from my mate’s kissable lips. I shook my head of such thoughts. Now was not the time. Damn hormones.
In his rage, Sesshoumaru quickly removed his claws from the table and rose from his chair. He strode angrily towards me and grabbed my forearm, yanking me out of the chair. He dragged me towards the door, forcing me to move my legs faster to keep up with his pace. “This Sesshoumaru and his mate will return shortly,” He informed the others, opening the door. “You are to stay here.”
Servants stared at us as Sesshoumaru continued to drag me down the hallways of the castle. He was taking me to the one place we would not be bothered, our bedchamber. When we reached the door to our bedchamber, he threw it open and slammed the door behind us, making the walls shake with his anger. He threw me down onto the bed and narrowed his golden colored eyed dangerously at me.
“I did not intend-” I hissed in a whisper, but my mate’s dark look was enough to make me hold my tongue.
“You’ve disobeyed this Sesshoumaru, mate,” He said to me, leaning over my body on the bed and placing both of his arms on either side of my body, not letting me have the chance of escaping him. “This Sesshoumaru expected better from you.”
I flinched at his words, but I did not turn my head or look away. I closed my eyes and braced myself for what was about to come. I knew he will have to punish me because I made him look like a fool in front of the others. It doesn’t matter if he hurt me or not with his own words. He was my alpha and I have disobeyed him. In the eyes of the demon world, he is in his right to punish me.
After a few minutes of receiving nothing, I opened my eyes and stared at my mate’s face, hovering above me. “Do you think so little of this Sesshoumaru to hurt you while you are pregnant with his pup?” He asked me, focusing his eyes on me once more. “This Sesshoumaru will punish you but not by physical force.”
“You’re going to lock me in my room?” I couldn’t help but ask him. It’s too funny of an opportunity to pass up.
Sesshoumaru smirked at me and lowered his nose to touch mine. “This Sesshoumaru has decided that your punishment will be one of silence.” I stared at him in confusion and he began to explain more of my supposed punishment. “You will not be able to speak for two days and will only reply with a nod or shake of your head. This Sesshoumaru knows you love to talk and this punishment will drive you crazy.”
He smirked once again at me and briefly touched his lips to mine in a chaste kiss. “This Sesshoumaru will have some fun of his own trying to get you to say his name out loud; while he is giving you pleasure. This Sesshoumaru will enjoy that particular part of your punishment.”
“That is so unfair and you know it. Asuka received lesser punishment than this for harming my pup,” I growled at him.
Mentioning Asuka’s punishment didn’t remove the smirk from my mate’s face and I realized that my punishment had already started when he said what my punishment was supposed to be. I am just dim-witted and didn’t figure it out sooner. I groaned and slapped one of my hands against my forehead. I spoke before Sesshoumaru told me what my further punishment would be if I broke the rules.
“If you do by chance speak before your punishment is over, you will have to ‘S-I-T’ Inuyasha each and every time.” I rose up one of my eyebrows in question and he knew what my question was. “This punishment will be effective because you will know that every time you speak, you will hurt the half-demon with your own actions, and I will get some amusement of it as well.”
I snorted. I would rather take the physical punishment than not being able to speak for two days. I began to lift my body up because we have been away from the others for a long time and who knows what kind of trouble they gotten themselves into. Sesshoumaru must have thought the same thing I did or read my thoughts, because he lifted himself off of me and helped me to my feet.
“Come,” he said, pulling me once more towards our destination. “We must return to the others.” I snorted at this and he turned his head around to glare at me. I gave him a smile and shrugged my shoulders.
We wouldn’t have to worry about the others if my mate didn’t drag me out of the room. He knows that they are talking about the incident and are probably betting on how long it takes us to get back. Bishamon will probably bet we were horny and having sex. That guy is such a pervert. I don’t know how Dalila handles him. Miroku is probably the one who started the whole betting thing. He’s always trying to scheme for money.
Suddenly their voices stopped as we entered back into the room. Sesshoumaru sat once more in his chair. I slipped from his hold on me and quickly walk to the chair I had sat in earlier by Inuyasha. I knew it would piss off my mate and I wanted to get back at him for my so called punishment. When the conversation started but up again, I caught my mate glaring at me and I just smiled sweetly at him.
Don’t think I let the argument about Asuka go. I will bring it up again, soon. I will not let this issue go until he gets rid of her or I end up killing the bitch. I’m his mate and he should respect my wishes. She is of no use to him. He hasn’t slept with her since the day I became his mate and moved into his bedchamber. And if I learn that he sleeps with her after or during my pregnancy, I will make sure his life is a living hell. Battling with Naraku will be nothing compared to what I would do to him.
I looked down at the parchment paper in front of me and instantly knew the perfect battle plan. The only problem is to get everyone to agree and cooperate. I couldn’t speak to them but Sesshoumaru never said I couldn’t put my words onto paper and have others read it out loud for me. I quickly wrote the plan down and handed it over to Sango to read. She knew instantly what I wanted her to do for me and began to read the words on the paper out loud.
I don’t think Naraku will attack from two different points. Our armies will surround Naraku and Raiden. This way, we won’t give them the chance to separate. Ryuu will move his army in from the North, Kukiko from the East, Bishamon from the South, and Sesshoumaru will move in from the West.
Once everyone is in position, Kikyo and I will erect a barrier, so Naraku and Raiden will not be able to escape. Inuyasha will team up with his brother and Miroku and Sango will team up with Kukiko. Kikyo and I will attend to the wounded, since we can heal the injured faster than the healing staff at the castle. We will be attending to major wounds and the staff will attend those with minor wounds. Our goal is to prevent as many deaths as we possibly can.
Reina stated earlier that she doesn’t want the villagers to get hurt or killed and I have to agree with her. We will gather as many villagers as we can and keep them safe here within the castle’s grounds. Guards will be posted for their protection. The battle will still be away from their homes. They need a place to return to.
“There is no way in hell I am teaming up with that bastard,” Inuyasha shouted, waiting until Sango was finished reading from the paper. “I want to team up with someone else.”
I took the paper out of Sango’s hand and quickly wrote down a response, before handing it back to her. You will do as I say or I will S-I-T you so hard, you won’t be walking right for a whole week.
Inuyasha threw his hands up in surrender. “Anything you say, Kagome.”
“She’s really scary,” Ryuu whispered to Inuyasha.
Sango started blushing and turned around to slap Miroku in the face. “Don’t you ever learn lecher? Keep you damn hands to yourself before I remove them for you!”
“She’s really scary, also,” Ryuu whispered again at Inuyasha.
The room felt like it lowered a few degrees and I realized the coldness was coming from my mate and directed at me. “It seems that this Sesshoumaru must remind you, mate, that you will be staying here inside the castle where it is safe,” he hissed angrily.
Why does he always have to contradict me? Does he believe that I can be controlled? The only reason why I am obeying him in my punishment is because I don’t want to deal with a pissed off royal demon. I swear male demons and humans when their angry act like women on our cycle. I wrote down a response and handed it over to Sango. I think she is enjoying this too much.
I won’t be in the actual battle, mate. I will be on the sideline helping Kikyo with the wounded. She cannot heal by herself. It will drain all of her energy and may even kill her. Besides, I am stronger in power than her and can heal the wounded at a faster rate. The pup and I will be out of harm’s way. We will be inside a barrier of our own.
“What about the other two pups?” he asked me coldly, staring into my icy blue orbs. I knew that he was concerned about their safety. “They may get scared and have need of their mother. Will you abandon them?”
Sango knew the retinue by now and handed the piece of paper back to me. I gave her a smile and went to write my response. I wasn’t about to feel sorry for the guilt trip he was giving me. The pups will understand when I explain the situation to them. They will probably want to help me and Kikyo anyway. I handed the paper back to Sango and waited for her to once again read what I had written.
They will be with me and Kikyo helping out with the wounded. You know as well as I do, that the pups will feel useless not doing anything. This way, I can keep an eye on them and protect them from harm.
“This Sesshoumaru will hear no more about the subject,” he growled. “You will stay inside the castle and that is final.”
I yanked the paper out of Sango’s hands and furiously wrote down a response. Who does he think he is?! I have tried to reason with him and even made plans around his wishes. How dare he treat me like this?! I am not some servant he can command. I am his mate and I will do as I please. I shoved the paper angrily towards Sango and she inched away after taking the paper from me. She has been with me long enough to know my mood swings.
I want to help in the battle and healing is the only way I can. You have clearly stated that I cannot be involved in the actual battle and I have respected your wishes on the subject. Stop being such an asshole! I swear you’re just as bad as Inuyasha on ordering me around. I will do it whether you like it or not! Just deal with it, you over grown puppy!
Sesshoumaru stormed from the room. Everyone still looked at me in astonishment. They still couldn’t believe that I talked to Sesshoumaru like that and didn’t end up dead. “So, who is going to lead the battle?” Bishamon asked, trying to lighten the mood. “Kagome has already formed the perfect battle plan and I see no reason why we should vote on it.”
Inuyasha sighed and looked straight at me. “I think Sesshoumaru should do it. He has the experience and the knowledge that many of us do not. Besides, he is a natural born leader and probably won’t like to follow another’s orders.”
“All those in favor of having Sesshoumaru command the army, raise your hands,” Bishamon said, raising his own hand up in the air. Everyone else’s went up too. “So it’s official. Sesshoumaru will lead the battle against Naraku.”
