Chapter 9: Getting to know you
"Saki!! You're so mean!" I plopped on the bed.
"How is that?"
"You knew he liked that smell and then you made me bath in it!"
She smiled. "Yes well….."
"Well what?! I don't want him smelling me. Damn bastard." I pouted.
"You are starting to fall for him, aren't you?"
I blushed. "Wh-what?! Hell no!"
"It's not bad if you are. He is your lord husband."
I shook my head. "No. He's my mate. By force." I sighed. "I don't want to like him. He's a ….a jerk."
"He does wish for your happiness."
"Liar. If he did he'd let me go home."
"He wants you near him. You've only been back four days."
"So? He wants me to have his kid. I so don't want that to happen."
"Why not? Many women would be happy to carry Lord Sesshomaru's heir."
"Not me. I don't know anything about him except he has a quick temper. He definitely doesn't know anything about me."
"Maybe you should go talk to him."
"About what?"
"About what we've talked about. Likes and dislikes. Your relationship."
"What relationship?! There is no relationship!"
"You cannot deny that the strings of fate have been tied."
"That doesn't mean there is anything between us. The only thing there is is this stupid bite mark."
"Go discuss that with Lord Sesshomaru."
"Fine I will." I huffed and stood up. I walked down the halls to Sesshomaru's room before I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"You may enter."
I slowly opened the door and peaked in.
"Do you need to discuss something girl?"
"I-I wanted to talk….I guess…."
"Come in and close the door." I nodded and did as he said, sitting on the floor by the bed.
"What is it you wish to talk about?"
"Uh…well…I-I just wanted t-to talk."
"For what purpose?"
"To get to know each other I guess." I bowed. "Sorry to have bothered you. I'll go."
"No. Sit. I'll entertain you on the subject."
I nodded and sat on my heels.
"What do you wish to know?"
"Well….Wh-what's your favorite color?"
"Deep blood red."
I looked around the room that was decorated in that color. "I should've guessed that. How about….taste?"
"Blood."
My eye twitched slightly. "I-I take it you like blood."
"Yes."
"Uh….how old are you?"
"In your years or mine?"
"Both."
"I am 21 in looks of your years and I have been living for 528."
"5….5….my God…..you're old." I blurted out.
"Not really.
"Uh…let's see…."
"My turn. How old are you?"
"Y-you actually wanna know?"
"I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't interested."
"R-right. Well I think I told you before but I'm almost 17."
"I see. That is young in your time?"
"Yes. I'm still only a teenager. But when I'm an adult, I'll be famous. Everyone will know my name."
"Is that your goal?"
"Uh…yeah. Kinda silly but…"
"I think you should try your best."
I blushed lightly. "Wh-what?"
"That is what you want to hear, correct?"
"There are lots of things I want to hear." I mumbled.
"Such as?"
"Never mind."
"Do you not wish to tell me?"
"No."
He nodded. "Sit up here."
I blushed and sat on the edge of the bed. He grabbed my arm and pulled me to him, hugging me gently.
"L-lord Sesshomaru…Wh-what are you doing?"
"Being with my mate."
I blushed lightly and put my head on his chest. He layed down and put an arm around my waist. I closed my eyes and listened to his breathing.
"Are you comfortable?"
"Yes sir."
"Good." He ran a hand through my hair and I started to fall asleep. He tried to keep a smile off his face.
I yawned and pulled one of the blankets over me, moving closer to him.
"Are you tired?"
I nodded and curled up under the blankets.
"I'll let you sleep, for now."

I groaned. There was something warm and comfy near me so I wasn't getting up any time soon.
"Are you awake?"
I nodded groggily. I felt a hand run through my hair and leaned into the touch. "I'm so comfy…." I mumbled.
"I am….happy, they say, to have you as my mate."
I was quickly alert and sat up.
"Is there a problem?"
"I forgot where I was." I stood up and bowed. "Please excuse my rudeness for falling asleep in here."
"If I had minded, you would have known."
I nodded. "I-I should go back to my room."
"This is your room."
"No. My room is purple." I said, not understanding.
"You're staying with me from now on."
"Wh-what?"
"My room is our room."
"O-oh…." I blushed darkly. "Wh-why?"
"Your mark makes you wish to be near me, does it not?"
I touched the mark. "How did you-"
"I will have your things moved in shortly."
I nodded. "May I go look around?"
"Yes. I shall see you at dinner."
I nodded and walked out. "I wonder when Inuyasha will find out I'm not at home." I walked down the main hall and saw a hallway I never noticed before. I walked down the hall and spotted a door at the end. I quickly ran toward it, curious, and pushed it open.
"Whoa…" I looked around the large garden. I looked back down the hall before going outside. "This is amazing. Flowers, fruits, vegetables. He has everything out here, doesn't he?"
I sat down in a patch of grass. I leaned back. "I wonder what I should do now. He is trying to be nicer at least." I sighed and put my hands behind my head. "I'm not sure about anything anymore. Inuyasha supposedly likes me, I like him and I am mated to his brother that I'm not too sure about yet. Why am I trying to explain it to myself?"
I stood up and went back inside. I stared at my feet as I walked, accidentally bumping into something. I looked up and bowed. "Please forgive me Lord Sesshomaru. I'll pay more attention to me surroundings next time. If you don't mind me asking, why are you here?"
"I was on my way to the garden. I see you've found it."
"Ah! Yes sir. I don't mean to be snooping around. I was curious though."
"It's fine. It is time for you to get prepared for dinner."
I nodded and hurried back to my room. Saki was already waiting.
"Tomorrow you will get ready in my lord's room."
I nodded. "S-sure."
"Your bath is ready."
I went across the hall and proceeded to do my daily routine. I put on an orange kimono with maroon flowers on it and a maroon obi. I tied my hair in a messy bun and went into the dining hall. "Good evening sir." I bowed at the waist and took my seat.
"Good evening."
We started to eat in silence.
"M-my lord…would….could we talk?"
"About what?"
"I-it doesn't matter to me."
"I have nothing to speak of."
"O-ok." I sighed softly. "May I be excused?"
He nodded and I got up before going to his room. I layed down to go to sleep. I closed my eyes and pulled the blankets over my head, faintly aware as Sesshomaru came in and layed next to me.
"Good night, my lord." I jumped as he put an arm around me. "Wh-wha-"
"Stay quiet." He pulled me against him and I smiled, falling asleep quickly.
