The Southern Lady
Disclaimer! I don't own Inuyasha characters Rumiko Takahashi does!
Please Review. NO FLAMES! Its my first fan fic so BE NICE!
After my parents, the lord and lady of southern lands died I had to take over. I am Lady Ami. If I had a male sibling or any male relatives for that matter I would not be ruling these lands. That is not the case. I am the last surviving member of my family. I am a full Inu-youkai. Many people believe I have a heart of ice. I show no emotions, I am not certain that I have any emotions at all. All of the remaining lords and princes, with the exception of Lord Sesshomaru are trying to force me to have a mate. I do not wish to have a mate. I am quite content living in my palace with my servants and ward. My ward, a boy by the name of Kizu, is the only human I can stand. I have to go off to another meeting with the lords which as is the norm will result in pointless arguments and me refusing to take a mate. They have already tried to get me to mate with almost every one of royal descent except Sesshomaru, Kouga, and that filthy Hanyou Inuyasha. I am very traditional and demand respect. I may be a woman but that doesn't mean I am not powerful and the other lords know that. I am a lady of tradition and if I ever choose to mate with someone that someone will be a full-blooded Inu-youkai. Now I am off to the meeting which, unfortunately is in the northern castle.
The Meeting
When I arrive at the castle I am greeted by Prince Kouga. "Welcome to the northern castle Lady Ami, my father will meet with you and the lords in his study. Would you like me to escort you?" "I know the way." "Very well. I shall join you shortly." When I arrive at the meeting I discover that once again the meeting will be about me aquiring a mate. This will be a long meeting. (A.N. this is told from Ami's POV. For dialouge sice I don't know the names of the lords of the north or east I will put east or north one they speak)
North: As you know this meeting was called about Lady Ami and Lord Sesshomaru not having a mate. This is especially important for Lady Ami because she cannot run the Southern Lands by herself.
East: Lady Ami the only unmated individuals that meet our standards are Lord Sesshomaru, Lord Inuyasha, and Prince Kouga. Out of these three individuals who do you choose?
Me: I do not choose either of these individuals because I do not believe that I require a mate to proplerly run my lands. I do not love either of these men nor any other men I have come across.
East: Well we will give each of these men a chance to win you over right now.
Me: Now?
East: Yes. Now.
North: Lord Inuyasha will speak first.
Inuyasha: Well, I think I should be your mate because I know that I would stay faithful to you for as long as I live.
Me: I do not wish to mate a half demon.
North: Now Prince Kouga will speak.
Kouga: Lady Ami if I were to become your mate I would make sure you would be well taken care of.
Me: I do not believe a mate is necesary for the proper control of my lands.
East: Lord Sesshomaru will now speak.
Sesshomaru: I agree with Lady Ami.
(I raise an eyebrow.)
North and East: YOU DO?!
Sesshomaru: Yes I do. I do not believe that a mate is important or worth my time.
North and East: But it is important.
Me: I do not see why mating is so important to them.
Sesshomaru: Either do I Lady Ami.
North, Kouga, and East: Well then it is decided.
Me: What is decided?
North, Kouga, and East: You and your ward will be living with Lord Sesshomaru for the next two years.
Sesshomaru: I really do ot wish for Lady Ami to dwell in my castle.
Me: I really do not wish to leave my lands or to live with Lord Sesshomaru.
North, Kouga, and East: Majority rules you will dwell in the castle of the western lands with Lord Sesshomaru for the next two years starting next week.
Everyone but Me and Sesshomaru: This meeting is over.
