InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ You Should Have Come After Me ❯ Apology Dinner ( Chapter 10 )

You Should Have Come After Me [[010]]

I looked on the bed and saw the prettiest kimono dress I had ever seen. There were no sleeves and it held together at the neck. It was a light blue with different colored flowers starting from the top of my left breast and trailed diagonally across my stomach and down my right leg, and a slit on the left side from mid-thigh down. I quickly dressed and brushed my hair into a high ponytail just in time for a light knock on my door to be heard.

 

"Come in," I said lightly. I looked towards the door and saw the one person I knew would always care for me in this castle.

 

"Lady Jewellisa I knew you'd come back," she stated quite loud. She ran towards me and jumped into my arms. I held her close as we both began to cry. I placed her down and crouch down to her level, looking her straight in her eyes. I wiped away her tears as she wiped away mine.

 

"Rin I'm so sorry for leaving I just had some other things to do and I, I'm so sorry," I said through freshly fallen tears.

 

"It's ok, I was never mad at you but Lord Sesshomaru never told me why you left so I thought it was because of me," she whimpered.

 

"No Rin it was never your fault ever. Don't ever think

that ok, it's just I got pregnant and I didn't want him to know so I left," I informed her.

 

"You had Lord Sesshomaru's baby," Rin giggled.

 

"Yes, you can meet him tomorrow if you like?" She nodded her head in excitement and gave me a big hug. There was knock at the door and Kochi came into the room.

 

"Lady Jewellisa, Lord Sesshomaru is waiting for you," she said quietly.

 

"Thank you Kochi we'll be there in a minute," I replied. I went into the bathroom and got a damp towel and came back into the room and wiped Rin's face away of any signs of tears as well as mine.

 

"Now lets go have dinner shall we?" I said as I took Rin's hand and walked out of the room into the hallway. We walked to the staircase leading into the main entryway and walked the little ways to the double doors that lead to the dining hall. Two demons standing on either side of the doors looked at me and nodded their heads, then opened the doors.

 

Rin let go of my hand and ran to the table in the middle of the room. I stopped walking and looked at everyone at the table: Sesshomaru at the head, Rin at his right, Jaken beside Rin, Anika at the other head of the table, and Takuya in the seat next to Anika. I looked at the empty chair in between Sesshomaru and Takuya and glared at it.

 

Takuya must have seen me glaring because he was suddenly standing in front of me. "Jewellisa you promised you wouldn't cause a scene," he hissed as I continued to glare at the chair.

 

"That's before I knew I would have to be sitting next to him," I said through gritted teeth. He started to lightly push me on the small of my back, leading me to the chair I so desperately didn't want to sit in.

 

"Just get through dinner and then you can go to your son and Sesshomaru will leave you alone for the rest of the night, I promise," Takuya softly whined.

 

"Fine, but you will definitely pay for this," I answered still through gritted teeth as I plopped down in to the chair.

 

"Before dinner is served I think apologies are in order between the both of you," Takuya suggested to both Sesshomaru and I, but mainly to Sesshomaru who would be apologizing first.

 

He glared at Takuya before he slowly turned to look at me. "Jewellisa I am sorry about the situation that happened earlier today, I was way out of line," he said with out a single hint of emotion.

 

Takuya elbowed me in the arm, signaling me to go on with my apology. "And I'm sorry you let your anger get the best of you," I said as I reached for the glass of water in front of me. I got at least one sip before Takuya bumped my arm, almost costing me to drop the glass. I looked at Sesshomaru then back at Takuya and glared.

 

"Fine," I hissed, "Sesshomaru I am also sorry about the situation that occurred earlier today, I was out of line as well." When I finished talking I turned to Takuya and gave him an "are-you-satisfied" look. Sesshomaru then simply raised one of his hands and servants began to bring out plates filled with food. It disgusted me how he could get anything he wanted with just the flick of his hand; and yet it also turned me on.

The whole time dinner was taking place I could feel Sesshomaru's eyes one me, like he was trying to picture me naked or something. I tried to ignore it, but the more I tried, the more I could feel him doing it and the more it turned me on. As Sesshomaru stared at me through dinner, I tried to concentrate on Rin who was asking me yet another question.

 

"Lady Jewellisa, why did you leave the castle?" Time seemed to stop as everyone looked at me, awaiting my answer. Even Sesshomaru seemed to look at me with questioning eyes instead of lustful ones.

 

"Because I was pregnant," I simply said and continued eating, hoping Rin would drop the subject. But of course she didn't.

 

"But if Lord Sesshomaru is the father, then why would you leave. Don't you love him?" she went on. At that question I nearly choked on the piece of meat I was swallowing. Takuya hand me my water and drank some until my throat was clear.

 

"Rin that is something that should only be discussed between Sesshomaru and I, not at the dinner table," I said with sadness hinted in my voice as I remembered what I saw on the stormy night that I left.

 

"But--"

 

"Rin that's enough," Sesshomaru stopped her before she could go on, "Jaken take her to her room, it's getting late." Jaken did not look pleased but followed his master's orders and lead Rin up the many stairs to her room. Rin on the other hand looked like she thought she was in trouble. Tomorrow I would assure her she definitely wasn't but at the very moment I needed to get out of the room.

 

Takuya must have sensed the aura of sadness and hatred circulating around me because he finally spoke up. "The young lord must be hungry as well, come Jewellisa,' he said as he stood up and pilled on my arm. I stood up as well and followed him out the door, making sure Sesshomaru would catch the scent of the tears he was causing to fall from my eyes.

 

.::.Sesshomaru's P.O.V.::.

I was shocked at the question Rin had just asked Jewellisa. It made me wonder if Jewellisa did love me since I was the father of her son and all, but only gave a that lame but true excuse before anger, hatred, and sadness consumed her body. Rin was about to protest but I had to intervene before things got out of hand.

 

"Rin that's enough," I interrupted, "Jaken take her to her room it's getting late." Jaken obviously didn't looked pleased but he knew what I would do to him if her didn't obey my orders. Rin looked back at Jewellisa like she would be in trouble later one, but Jewellisa looked back at her like she wasn't.

 

Just then Takuya spoke up. "The young lord must be hungry as well, come Jewellisa," he said as her led her towards the stairs. Time seemed to slow as they walked behind my chair and I smelled the salty scent of Jewellisa's tears slowly running down her face. She was making sure I felt the anger, hurt, and sadness radiating off of her body. As she left I watched her, wondering why she could hate me so much after the fact that I gave her a child.

 

"This is going to be fun," Anika says with a gigantic grin on her face. I didn't want to break anything valuable in the room by kicking her ass so I stormed off to my study and sat at my desk. I was going to find out why Jewellisa left if it kills me to do so.

 

.::.Jewellisa's P.O.V.::.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Takuya asks as he watches me change Tristan for bed after feeding him and crying the whole time.

 

"No," I barley make out through my sobs. I knew I would have to talk about it some time, right just wasn't it.

 

"Well you know you can always come to me if you want to. We are one in the same, like family almost, only you could probably kick my ass," he stated just so to break the silence. Astonishingly this made me laugh and I stopped crying.

 

"Yah I know. Wolves must always stick together-- or so I thought," I said, suddenly remembering my father and his new mate.

 

"What's on your mind pup?"

 

"Don't wolves take one mate and then they are mates for life whether one disappears for 14 years or not?" I asked as my anger began to rise. Tristan must have felt the anger surrounding me because he started to fuss and whimper. I stood up and put him over my shoulder to burp him. He finally settled down enough so I could put him in his crib. I looked down at him until he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

 

"You're talking about your father aren't you?" he finally asked as we stood in the hallway so not to disturb my sleeping son.

 

"I can't believe he would do something like this instead of going out to look for her. I mean she gave him Kouga and I, he's Lord of every wolf clan in Japan, we're the wealthiest wolf family, what more could he want?" Just thinking about the situation was making me mad. I slide down the wall until I was sitting in the floor.

 

"I know why your mother left but Sesshomaru forbade me to tell you," Takuya said with apology in his green eyes.

 

"If Sesshomaru told you to kill you're self would you do it?" I asked. Anger apparent in my voice.

 

"Well no--"

 

"Then tell me!"

 

"I can't."

 

"As princess of the wolves I command you to tell me," I growled.

 

"Ava told me not to." At the sound of my mother's name, I stopped my self from tackling him to the floor and forcing him to tell me what he knew.

 

"You talked to her?" I asked calmly.

 

"Yes. She came to me in my dreams and told me to tell you not to worry about her. She said that one day you would see her again and to not blame your father for her absence," he finally said.

 

I couldn't believe that she would come to him in a dream instead of Kouga or I; I'm her daughter after all. "Where is she?" If she couldn't tell me herself, then I would just have to find out on my own.

 

"Captured…by Naraku, for 2 years now." The anger in me just boiled over as his words registered in my head. My mother, who I believed was untouchable, was caught by the vilest of all demons: Naraku.

 

"Why weren't we notified sooner?" I yelled at him, my eyes bleeding red. I yelled so loud it woke up Tristan and he cried out for me just as loud as I had screamed. I glared at Takuya as I stood up and went into the room to calm my son. Even with my presence near him, he would not stop crying.

 

"I sent out a messenger as soon as I knew my self, but your father never responded," Takuya tried to reason.

 

"My father is my father not me."

 

"You were never found to be notified." I was about to retort to his comment when a little servant girl walked into the room.

 

"Lady Jewellisa, Lord Sesshomaru wishes your presence in his study," she said with her head bowed.

 

"Thank you, I'll be right there," I told her as calmly as I could manage. I caught a glimpse of her face and saw that she was shocked. 'Sesshomaru must have these pour girls scared shitless,' I thought to my self, disgusted with his behavior.

 

I picked up my softly crying son and followed the little girl out the door, glaring at Takuya as I went. I was going to have to talk to him later.
