"Oh! Mayoko arrived a couple of hours ago!"

"What!" said Rin exasperatedly, "Why didn't you tell me sooner!" She hastily grabbed her yukata and ran in the direction of Mayoko's chambers. "I waited for her for hours last night."

"It must have slipped my mind." Rei replied, rolling her eyes.

Rin reached the Source's room and promptly threw back the shoji. What she saw made her gasp in horror.

The Source lay there, snoring loudly, upon a disheveled futon with her hair in disarray and her clothes covered in blood. Slouching beside her was a large white wolf, whose coat was horribly blood-stained. The wolf had opened one drowsy eye at the sound of intruders and was now growling softly.

"Now do you see why I didn't tell you? Look at her sleep. I've never seen her knocked out. It's quite a sight isn't it? Usually she hears you before you enter and is all alert by the time you have the shoji opened." whispered Rei into to the gaping Rin's ear. Indeed, Rei was right. Never before could you open a door and find a defenseless and vulnerable Mayoko behind it. It just was not a situation that could ever happen.

"I have to wake her up. Sesshomaru needs that report. Arm yourself. I've never done this before." Rei grabbed the nearest sheathed sword while Rin grabbed a covered spear from the wall. Slowly they approached their prey, stalking stealthily towards her. When she was within reach, Rin gently poked The source with the end of the spear. She awoke with a start, jabbing and kicking by instinct. The wolf was frightened and went to crouch in a corner, whimpering.

When she finally calmed down, Mayoko noticed that she was no longer in the brothel of a mighty war-lord, but indeed home with her beloved friends and her trusted companion, Raja. She no longer had to sleep on guard every minute of every day. The Lord was gone.

Once she saw the lights on in Mayoko's head, Rin pounced. First she fiercely embraced her friend, squeezing her so tightly that she turned purple. Then she badgered her for a report of behind enemy lines and why she had returned so late.

Mayoko's only reply was: "Well, I did my job so well that I couldn't leave without being noticed." Rin, who was quite the bashful virgin, had no idea to what she was implying. Still, she happily to the written report from her friend's trusty hands and rushed out to ready Aun.

"Do you think we should let her go in her yukata?" asked Mayoko.

"Do you think we could stop her long enough to let her know?" replied Rei slyly.

"Good point. I'm going to take a bath. Feed Raja for me will you?" said Mayoko groggily, stifling a yawn.

"Sure. Will the usual half a lamb work?" replied Rei sarcastically.

"That should be fine." said Mayoko, oblivious to any humor on her friend's part.

Rin burst into her Lord's chambers in the middle of the night to find his bare bottom staring back her. Blushing furiously, she called his name. "Uh. . . . .Sesshomaru-Sama? Onegai, I have the report!" He groaned in reply. "Onegai! Please wake up!"

Lord Sesshomaru awoke to the most wonderful scent of a willing female near his bed. Opening his eyes before he could do anything hasty, he found Rin waiting patiently with a tinge of blush to her cheeks. She fled the room while he pulled on his hakama. He had not been expecting company so early in the morning; else he would have been wearing more than stark nudity.

When he entered his tea room, he found Rin in nothing more than a yukata herself. He could see that she was blushing profusely because she had obviously left her estate in a great hurry. He glanced down at the hand by her side to see a large batch of parchment strung together by hastily strung silk string. Seeing his gaze, Rin bowed and handed him the packet whilst saying, "I am terribly sorry to wake you, milord, but the source had just arrived when I had finished in the bath, so I am afraid I forgot to darn proper garments in the process." She rose to a sharp glower and cloudy red eyes gazing back at her.

"Do you mean to tell this Sesshomaru that you were so careless as to leave the safety of your home in the middle of the night, unarmed and with little more than a scrap of cloth between you and any enemy you might happen to face, just to deliver to me this frustrating report? How naïve can you be? Would you like to see what happens to silly girls who can't be careful? Would you like to know what happens to silly girls at night?" He was slowly advancing upon her, the report cast upon the ground at their feet. "Would you like me to show you what happens to silly girls who barge into a naked demon's bed chamber in the middle of his peaceful slumber?" He was upon her now, her back was against the wall, her breathing short as his breath heated her lips with his words. Slowly he bent his head so that his lips grazed hers as he spoke "Would you like me to fulfill your fantasies?"
