InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ You Should Have Come After Me ❯ Here's the Plan No Matter What You Think ( Chapter 11 )

You Should Have Came After Me [[011]]

I followed the servant girl down the hall and up another flight of stairs until we came to a large door with a crescent moon carved onto each sides of the door, facing each other. These doors were all to familiar to me and I had a terrible feeling I wasn't going to enjoy my visit like the last time I had entered the room before I left. The servant bowed to me and left to attend the other matters she needed to do before heading of to bed.

 

When she was out of sight, I looked down and my son who wasn't crying anymore but was still awake, then looked back at the doors that stood in front of me, sighed, and then knocked on the door. "Enter," came Sesshomaru's monotone voice from the other side. I took another deep breath before opening the door and stepping inside. As I closed the door behind me, I found Sesshomaru sitting behind his desk watching me.

 

The look on his face was full of question and determination to finding the answers to the questions that troubled him tremendously. I walked farther into the room and sat down in one of the chairs that were positioned on the opposite side of his desk. I placed Tristan in my lap, facing his father.

 

Sesshomaru looked down at him as he giggled and raised his arms to be held by him. I handed him over and sat back looked at the floor so to avoid his eyes. "Why isn't he asleep?" he asked calmly.

 

"Takuya and I got into a small fight and I sort of yelled louder than I intended to," I answered softly. I was sort of waiting for him to get angry and yell something along the lines of 'why would you do something like that', but what he actually said caught me off guard.

 

"Why do you hate me Jewellisa?"

 

"I don't know?" I whispered, trying to hold back tears as the memories of the night I had left tried to make their way through the wall I had built. I didn't want to tell him why when our son was in the room. It would most likely lead to screaming and fighting and I didn't want him to see all of that.

 

"You know you have to say here now?" he said.

 

At these words I looked up at him with pure hatred. "I'm not staying here Sesshomaru. All you will do is control me, well try to control me," I hissed, trying to keep my anger in check. Tristan started to whimper a little but Sesshomaru placed him on his desk and handed him a small ball. He looked at the round object and reached for it, most likely wanting to put it in his mouth.

 

"His fangs are starting to come in Jewellisa," he started calmly as he watched our son chew on the ball.

 

"I know, but that still doesn't give me a reason to stay." I folded my arms across my chest and pouted.

 

"I hear your father re-mated and you find it disrespectful to your mother and refuse to recognize their mating," he continued.

 

"So what, I don't have to stay with them, I can go live with the mountain wolves. Besides, they worshiped my mother anyways and would welcome me and Tristan with open arms," I argued back.

 

"His immune system isn't strong enough, he wouldn't be able to handle the altitude." 'Oh shut up already.'

 

"Then we can stay in the human village he was born in," I growled. At the sound of my growl, Tristan looked at me. He crawled across the desk and reached out his arms to me with the ball still in his hands. I picked him up and place him back in my lap. I felt that in his own why he was telling me that I could not win this battle.

 

"Why? So he can grow up asking you why he is so different form all the other human children? So he can get angry and show his true demonic form, killing the children who tease him because he wouldn't know how to control his demonic power? My aura is much stronger than your Jewellisa and you know that he has inherited that form me, for once can you not argue with me?" he finally said with anger only I could see.

 

"If I stay, than one of my wolf companions can stay with me and will arrive the day after tomorrow," I negotiated.

 

"Fine."

 

"They along with Boa are under my control and you can't tell them what to do."

 

"Fine."

 

"And you can't control me either. I will stay in the castle and not try to escape, but I will need chances to roam and hunt like the wild animal that runs through my veins."

 

With that request Sesshomaru struggle to agree with but did in the end. I got up and walked towards the door, looking back only once to see him watching me. I walked out into the hallway and closed the door behind me. The same servant girl was waiting for me on the other side and smiled up at me. I smiled back and followed her down the steps we had first come up and to a different room then the one I walked into before.

 

I said good night to her, closed the door and looked at the room. It was very elegant; dark blue walls, white and dark blue pillows, and dark blue satin sheets that lay under a white comforter. Tristan's crib was set at the edge of the bed so to be easily reached when he started to fuss. I sat down at a small window seat, positioned across the right side of the bed and fed Tristan for the last time that night. He unfortunately wasn't finished when I felt Sesshomaru's presence enter the room.

 

"Why are you in here?" I asked angrily and annoyed, not looking at him.

 

"Have you forgotten already Jewellisa? This is my room," he answered. I looked around as it all cam back to me. I could even smell my scent faintly radiating of the sheets. 'Of course the bastard would move everything to him room, only to get closer to me," I thought to my self. Tristan finally finished feeding and fell asleep.

 

I could feel Sesshomaru watching me as I went to put out son in his crib. I turned to look at him just as he was taking off his kimono and hakamas. He was stilled toned as I had remembered and still as large. I looked at his face to see him smirking; he caught me looking. I turned to the double doors that led to the balcony, growling to myself. I walked out into the night and took in a deep breath.

 

'Kuro,' I called out. I seconds Kuro showed up, holding Kongou in her mouth by the scruff of his neck.

 

'Yes my Lady,' she answered. She placed Kongou on the floor in front of me. She knew she would be going on a mission for me.

 

'Go back home and bring Amber with you. Tell her to bring all of her belongings and that she will be staying here from now on,' I commanded.

 

'My lady, I will not leave you here with not protection from that monster,' she retorted while growling in the direction of Sesshomaru who was watching from his position on the pillars that stood outside.

 

I pushed him back into the room and closed the doors behind him. I knew he was growling at me, but I would deal with him later. 'I'll be fine Kuro, just go home and bring her here, end of discussion,' I growled.

 

'My lady.' she growled back.

 

I turned into my wolf form and growled at her. She growled back but I bit her on her muzzle to remind her who was in charge. She immediately backed down and nuzzled me under my chin. We licked each other's muzzles to show each other that everything was okay between us. She nuzzled her son one last time before she jumped off the balcony and ran towards grassland-wolf territory.

 

I returned to my human form and pick up little Kongou and walked back into the room. I place him in the crib along side Tristan who was laying on his stomach, softly snoring. Sesshomaru continued to watch me as I went to the bathroom and put on a light purple sleeping kimono. I walked back out and sat in the window seat and looked up at the moon.

 

"Aren't you coming to bed Jewellisa?" Sesshomaru asked from his side of the bed. I looked over at him as he lay there with his eyes closed. I hated it when he took everything so calmly.

 

"Yes master, I'm coming," I said back to him. I walked to the other side of the bed and climbed in, snuggling into the smooth silk of the sheets. "Just don't touch me."

 

As the warmth took over me, I let all of the problems that troubled me today slip away. Sleep finally took over me just as Sesshomaru slipped his arm around my waist protectively and pulled me up against his bare chest. At that point I didn't care and just let him hold me and run his claws through my black hair.
