Chapter 3: And So It Begins...

Sesshomaru watched silently as the white haired demoness walked slowly away from him, the sway of her hair as they cascaded down her back, touching her nice, round...

"Lord Sesshomaru," Rin called, snapping the demon lord out of his perverted thoughts. "Where is Lady Junsuina going?"

That reminded him, he didn't know. Sesshomaru was too busy thinking of his intended as what she called a 'concubine' to ask her. He was too busy thinking of her plump, round...

"I don't know." He stated simply getting up, "Jaken, watch Rin."

Following the sweet mixture of honey, lavenders, roses and the strange scent of sunflowers and coconut, Sesshomaru met up with Junsuina in a clearing.

"You followed me?" It sounded more like a statement, than a question.

Sesshomaru didn't feel the need to ask such a stupid question, but a part of him wanted to. Junsuina took a step closer, until her forehead was at the crane of his neck. She inhaled his scent of dragon lilies and rosemary, with a hint of shea butter.

"Of everyone in the entire universe," she paused, now staring into his gold eyes, "Why did you choose me?"

With no reply, he turned on his heels and left her. A low growl erupted from her throat as she slumped onto the ground.

"Fucking dick." She muttered, but it was loud enough for him to hear.

A loud growl resounded at the base of Sesshomaru's throat. He quickly turned at the speed of the wind, and grabbed Junsuina by the neck.

"You shall never speak to this Sesshomaru like that, ever!" He yelled, "Am I understood?"

"Y-yeah."

As he loosen his grip, she slid down the trunk of the tree she was held against. She began coughing violently, surprisingly never bringing up blood.

"You are such a hypocrite."

Sesshomaru's head swung violently back to face the woman in the ground.

"What I said before was a lie, but now I speak the truth. I asked you never to treat me disrespectfully, yet you did."

"Humph." Was all that was said before he left.

With trembling hands, Junsuina touched her neck, feeling hot tears spring down her cheeks.

"How am I supposed to love a bastard like that?" She asked herself silently, "Only for you two. I love you, mother, father. I promise to make the most of this."

And with that, she stood up, determined to be the best mate that anyone in the Western Inu family had ever seen. Hopefully, her efforts would be worth it.

The next day, she woke up at a normal time for her, to watch sun rise. As Sesshmaru felt a shift in the atmosphere, his eyes fluttered open, noticing the retreating form of his intended. He moved quickly, yet quietly, not wanting to awaken Rin from her slumber. As he caught up with Junsuina, he saw her stop at a cliff. Was she going to jump? Had he been that terrible to her the day before? A serene smile crept across her face, and she inhaled deeply. Her eyes widened as she turned around.

"What are you doing here?" She asked, a hint of suspicion and dread in her voice.

"Is this Sesshomaru not allowed to know where his intended is, and what she is doing?" He took a step forward, resulting in Junsuina taking an unconscious step back, "What are you doing?"

"N-nothing."

"Despite the fact that you look like you are about to kill yourself, you look terrified." A small smirk appeared in his lips, "Do I scare you?"

"N-n-no."

Before she could blink, Junsuina found herself being pressed again Sesshomaru's chest. Her heart pounded in her ear, just what was he planning to do? Lifting her chin up, so that their eyes met, Sesshomaru whispered lowly, "What were you planning on doing here?"

"I-I wat-watch the sun rise." She squeaked out, nervously.

She felt a strand of hair being placed behind her ear. Her heart began to beat faster, if that was even possible.

"What's the matter? Do I scare you?"

"Not you, just the things you sometimes do."

A low sigh escaped his lips, "This Sesshomaru apologizes for his behavior yesterday."

"I apologize for my rude remarks as well."

"This Sesshomaru will try to be gentler with you, and learn to treat his intended better than his subjects."

"And I will try not to disrespect you."

Finally, Junsuina's heart calmed down and she relaxed, not minding that she was in the arms of someone who assaulted her just the day before. As a ray of light began to crack the clouds, Junsuina released herself from Sesshoamaru's warm embrace to face the sunrise.

"Look, it's coming up!" She cheered, a smile that radiated so much light, that it rivalled the sun appeared on her face.

Looking at the look on her face, Sesshoamaru's felt as though he had witnessed a new side of her. He had seen the scared side, the childish side, the alpha, the pained side, the angered side and unknown to Junsuina, he saw the determined look on he face the day before. Perhaps he hadn't made a bad decision of choosing to mate her.

"Come on, we have to go back to the campsite just in case Rin wakes up."

Junsuina gave him a warm smile before walking off towards the campsite, with Sesshomaru following behind. Secretly, he watched the sway of her hips assume walked, with a smirk on his lips.
