"I will send someone to get you for breakfast in ten minutes whether you are ready or not," with that he left my room closing the door behind him.

I slid to the floor and looked up at the ceiling, "Kagome, what the hell did you get me into this time?"

Gen, Captain of the Guards

After cleaning myself up and putting on a kimono I'd found in the closet, I was about to walk out my door when I kicked something solid. There was a slight thud when the thing fell.

"I'm so sorry I di . . ." I stopped when I looked down.

The thing I had kicked was none other than Jaken so there was no real harm done. I raised an eyebrow wondering why the strange creature was at my door. I shrugged my shoulders and continued out the door making sure that I stepped on the creature's back as I walked by. There was a loud squeak as I did so but I just ignored it and went on looking for the kitchen.

"Where do you think you're going human?" I heard Jaken struggling to get up.

I stopped turning to look at the small demon, "That's no concern of yours and f. y. i. my name is TATSUYA you little imp."

I kicked him then gave him a nasty glare. I then went back to my business starting to feel hungry since the last meal I had was yesterday at lunch. I sighed at not seeing any differences of the many halls. I could tell that the toad was following the entire time but I just ignored. Suddenly, I heard the annoying demon gasp in surprise but I didn't try to turn just kept walking until I heard a deep voice behind me.

"What are you doing wondering around human?"

I growled at being called human and turned around quickly to the man behind me then gasped as well. The man had dark brown eyes and short spiky brown hair. His ears were pointed. There was a long brown tail flicking slightly behind. He was wearing armor with a sword tied to his waist.

He snarled, "I asked you a question Human."

"First of all I have a fucking name and it sure as hell is NOT human, bastard. Second I have no reason to tell you anything," I yelled taking a step closer to the man. "And the proper way to get someone's name is to introduce yourself first," I clenched my fist until my nails where digging into my flesh.

His eyes widen in surprise as I yelled at him. I guess he never been talked down to by a human or anyone else for that matter before. Then he frowned and grabbed my arm tightly.

"How dare you talk down to the Captain of the Guards human," He tightens his grip as he yelled at me.

I narrowed my eyes glaring at him despite the pain, "let go of me."

"You don't give the orders Human."

"Yeah, you're right but I'm sure that if I tell Sesshomaru about this that you will either be out of a job or be dead depending on what type of mood he's in and when he left me this morning he was in a damn good mood," I smirked at the demon holding me.

He raised his hand, "You will show some respect and you're place."

My smirk deepens, "when you know him on the level that I do then little things like formality is the last thing on your mind."

The demon eyes widen then he blushed brightly as my words set in and released me, "forgive me I didn't know that you were Lord Sesshomaru's lover."

"Its fine," I smiled softly at the demon not believing that my lie worked.

"No it isn't I was terr. . ."

"I said its fine so it's fine," I interrupted him placing a hand on his arm. "So you're the Captain of the Guards that Sesshy's been telling me about."

He blushed at the name I had given the demon lord and nodded his head, "may I ask where you are headed?"

"I was heading to the kitchen before that stupid excuse for a demon interrupted me."

"Who are you referring to My Lord?" the demon tilted his head.

I cringed slightly, "please just call me Tatsuya or Suya it doesn't matter which." He nodded uneasy with my request. "Well anyway I was referring to that idiot Jaken."

He began to laugh. I looked at him confused not seeing what was so funny. He calmed himself the best he could before talking.

"Sorry about that, it's just that's what we all think of him especially when he runs so easily at the sight of me or my men. Plus, the kitchen is that way," He chuckled slightly and pointed behind him back down the corridor that I just came from.

I blushed and stomped pass him in the direction that he pointed to. He chuckled again as I heard his steps following mine until he was standing right beside me smiling knowingly.

"Shove it! This is the first time I've been here," I grumbled as I continued walking allowing the demon to pull me down corridors if I might go by them.

"I can tell."

I threw him a look daring him. He lifted his claws in defense but continued to laugh at me playfully. I never knew someone of his position could be so carefree.

"So, you ever planning on telling me your name," I looked over at him.

"The name's Gen," He smiled lightly at me.

He smiled just like, "Kenji" I whispered.

"What?"

"Your smile, you smile like my best friend Kenji." I told him as I noticed the strong aromas of food being cooked somewhere in front of us.

Gen seemed to hesitate slightly but nothing more so I just ignored it. It wasn't like he knew Kenji anyway.

There were two large double doors in front of us. My stomach began to growl as we were devoured in the scents coming from the kitchen. I heard Gen chuckling beside me. I frowned at him and punched him in the arm that only succeeded into making him laugh a little harder. I huffed and picked up my pace.

As I reached for the double doors, I could feel my mouth watering. I grabbed for the handles. I pulled on them. Nothing happened. Then I pulled a little harder. Still nothing happened. Then it hit me. I began pushing on the doors. Again nothing happened. I pushed even harder to the point that my feet were slipping from underneath me. Still nothing happened. I growled and kicked the door. It didn't even budge.

I could hear Gen behind me trying to stop his laughter but it wasn't working. I turned around swiftly pointing at him.

"I would love to see you try."

He smiled and walked up to me. Taking a small bow, Gen reached for the door knob and with little effort pulled the door towards him. My eye twitched as I saw how easy he managed to open the door. I gave him a quick glare and went into the room.

"Brother!" Rin yelled from her seat beside Sesshomaru.

I smiled sweetly at her and returned her wave. Gen stopped beside me and bowed to the demon lord sitting at the head of the table. Sesshomaru gave him a slight nod acknowledging his presence. I smirked slightly at Gen as he straightens his form as a thought came into my head. I walk seductively towards Sesshomaru and smile down at him. He gives me a questioning look before I capture his lips. The entire room is filled with gasp and Rin's soft giggling. I sit in his lap and curl into his chest rubbing my head under his chin.

"You're so mean my love," I look up at Sesshomaru with a childish pout. "Leaving me in the room all by myself and Jaken abandoned me," I wrapped my arms around his neck.

Sesshomaru looks at Jaken, "Is that true Jaken?"

"You see My Lo . . .," the green little creature began.

I gave Jaken an evil grin as I cut him off, "It is true Love. He left me to wonder the halls all by myself where I could be easy target for any hormonal demon. Luckily, Captain Gen was nice enough to escort me here without anything happening to me."

I nuzzled Sesshomaru's neck. Sucking and licking it tenderly to use his hormones in my favor. A loud growl erupted from his throat; I couldn't tell if it was from my assault on his neck or that Jaken disobeyed his direct order either way it wasn't going to be good for the little toad.

"I will deal with you later Jaken," Sesshomaru glared down at the demon standing beside him before lifting his gaze to his Captain. "I appreciate your assistants Captain but I must ask you to do one more thing for me before you head back to your post.

Gen bowed and nodded at Sesshomaru and me, "You are welcome My Lord, it is my duty to protect you and your lover. Anything you wish to be done I am willing to obey and any and every order that you ask of me shall be done, My Lord."

I had to smirked at Gen's words because I knew he was just trying to make Jaken look bad. Sesshomaru shifted a bit and looked down at me with a raised eyebrow. I knew he was wondering why Gen called us lovers but hell it was the only thing I could think of to keep my arm. I smiled up at him apologetically. I brought a hand to his cheek bringing his face closer to mine kissing him sweetly. Then I slipped my tongue into his mouth which he approved by sucking on my wet appendage. I moaned softly trying to remember that Rin was still in the room and watching us. I pulled away from him slowly and pecked his cheek. Getting up, I headed towards the seat on Sesshomaru's right which was across from Rin.

Sesshomaru's eyes followed me to my seat before directing his gaze back to Gen, "Captain I want you to look after Rin and Tatsuya while they are outside the castle walls. You will protect them as if they were me do you understand."

"Yes My Lord I understand. I will tell my men where I should be at," Gen bowed before he turned towards the door.

"There is no need for that, Jaken will go personally to all your men and inform them," Sesshomaru snapped his eyes towards Jaken daring him to argue.

The toad demon sighed defeated, "as you wish my lord."

Jaken bowed to his lord and left the room from a side door. I couldn't help but smirk in victory at the scolded demon. I turned back to Sesshomaru as he began to talk again.

"Just in case they decide to go to one of the surrounding villages, I want you to wear something more appropriate. The last thing I need or want is for the humans to think I am going to start a war with them," Sesshomaru instructed his captain.

Gen nodded. Bowing once more, the demon left the way he came leaving the room empty except for me, Rin, and Sesshomaru.

"I will talk to you later," Sesshomaru gazed at me.

I tilted me head, "what did I do?"

He didn't answer instead went back to eating the food that was in front of him. I sighed and ate my breakfast that a female servant brought me not long ago. Rin was talking about all the things we would do after we got done eating. I nodded not paying much attention when Sesshomaru butted in telling the young girl to eat properly. I noticed that Rin saw Sesshomaru more than just her lord but as a father figure and in return Sesshomaru treated her like his daughter.

Breakfast went by quietly and the incident was never brought up. When I was done eating, Sesshomaru escorted me and Rin to the main doors of the castle where Gen was waiting for us. Sesshomaru instructed Rin not run off and listen to what Gen and I said. After making sure that everything was in check, Sesshomaru sent us on our way.
