I went to the library to kill an hour while Sesshomaru wrote out a few papers that needed done. He also had a few letters that Jaken had delivered to him a week ago. I searched the shelves for anything that caught my interest. I finally found a medium sized book with a rather worn-looking red cover. I curled up in one of the large, comfy, chairs that was close to the fire.

Sesshomaru POV

I groaned, laying my head on the desk as I squeezed the letter Jaken had just delivered in my hand. It was from the other lords, nosy slobs, who sat on their rears all day, worrying about everyone but themselves. They had really crossed their bondaries with this, but what could he do? If all the lords went against him, there would be nothing he could do to keep them from taking his land.

'Dear Sesshomaru,

It has come to the concern of the Lords of the east, north, south, and southeast, that you are nearing your 7000 birthday. Though you are the western lord, you have yet to find a mate, meaning you have no heir. We are very disappionted that you have yet to settle down to have a family, and that you have frightened every potential mate we have sent you. You are hereby instructed to find a woman in the next six months, or we will ban together to strip you of your title, and take your land. It does not matter wether she is human, hanyo, or youko, just that it be a woman you care for. We will come before mating season, at 6:30.

Sincerly, Lord Mishu

It was already 6:20, and they would probably be a few minutes early. I had already call Haku and Terrka back to help Cece serve them. I didn't know what I was going to do.

Cece POV

I tensed as I felt the presence of four powerful demons approaching the castle. Worried, I ran into Sesshomaru's study, to find him talking with Haku and Terrka. They looked up as I shut the door behind me. "Cece, the other lords will be here in a few moments. Make some tea and bring it to my study, immediantly."

I nodded, then ran to the kitchen, boiling water for tea. I heard the front door open and smelt the men walk in. I quickly prepared a tray of tea and began carrying it back upstairs. The door slammed again and I became curious. Suddenly, a neat looking Crystal ran around the corner, grinning at me.

"I decided that I would help you clean. What are you doing with a tea tray?" She said quickly, not waiting for me to ask.

"The other demon lords have come to visit Sesshomaru, and I am to serve them." I answered.

"Here, let me help." She offered, grabbing a tray of small sandwiches I had set on the counter.

We walked up the stairs, carful not to drop anything. We soon reached the door, which was partually open. I nudged it open with my foot, walking in and cathcing it with my foot. After Crystal walked in, I pushed the door back.

"Sesshomaru! You must listen to reason! We only want to keep your father's lands in good hands." A plump looking man said.

"No, you want to take my father's lands for yourselves, and are using this as a way to take them!" Sesshomaru growled.

"Uh, Sesshomaru?" I said, trying to get his attention.

"What now!" he roared at us. I just glared back at him. "It's only you two. Wait, why are you back, I didn't call you back." He said, his eyes wandering back to me.

"Oh, no, don't look at me, I didn't have any part in this." I said, setting my tray on the small table.

"I might believe that if you didn't cause trouble everywhere you go." he said.

"I do not!" I said, getting mad. I then noticed a piece of paper in his fist, but decided not to ask. Me and Crystal served all the lords, then sat there, waiting for command.

"Maybe you should send out your maids, Sesshomaru. Whorish-looking women often gossip. But if the blond wants to stay, she could come over here and..." a demon who looked a little younger than Sesshomaru began.

"Shut up!" Sesshomaru growled. I tried my best not to tear his throat to shreds, but I was so close to losing control. My eyes had already turned red and my ears were layed back.

"Hmm. That's an interesting hanyo you have there. I've never seen one who's eyes turned red like a full demons, though her pupil remains black." An older looking demon with kind eyes stated. "I've also never seen one with blue eyes and blond hair."

"Anyway, Sesshomaru, since you haven't mated, we have decided to be merciful." A black haired, evil looking man said. "You have one last chance, by taking my daughter as a mate." He smirked as he watched Sesshomaru growl.

I then noticed the blue haired woman sitting behind him, who was eye-raping Sesshomaru. She licked her lips as she kept watching him, then cooed, "It would be an honor to mate such a wealthy, handsome, powerful lord such as yourself."

"I would not mate a woman I did not care for." Sesshomaru stated simply.

She looked angry and moved closer to get a cup of tea off the table, giving me a better look at her. Her blue hair came to her shoulders and she wore purple eye shadow with bright red lipstick. Her dress was a very low v neck, to slits at the bottom on each side that went to her hips, and no shorts. The dress was a good six, seven inches from her knees, and she wore stillettos. 'What a whore! Even Amber covered up more than her!' I thought.

She noticed my looking and smirked at me, like we were competeing or something. I decided it would be best not to comment, so I kept my mouth shut.

"Sesshomaru, think of how much better it would be to have an heir instead of letting your mutt brother rule the western lands." The girl's father said.

I glared at the mutt comment and the girl noticed. "My, what a pretty hanyou you own, Sesshomaru!" she cooed, moving toward me. "What is your slave's name, if she has one."

"Moca, the girl is not a slave, and if you wish to know her name, as her." Sesshomaru corrected.

She turned to me, not happy that Sesshomaru had shown me any respect, by not talking about me as though I was not there. "Well?"

"Well what?" I teased, but kept my face monotone.

"What is it?" She continued.

"What is what, ma'am?"

"Your name!" she looked angry now.

"What about my name?" I continued teasing her, my face still monotone.

"What is it?" she asked again.

"What is what?" I repeated and she looked like steam would come out of her ears. The other lords, with the exception of her father, looked amused.

"What the hell is your name!" she demanded, hissing slightly.

"I forgot." I mocked, my monotone mask fading. I started smiling and so were Crystal and the boys.

She hmped and sat back down, mumbling things.

"So, what is it?" the older looking man asked.

"Cece." I stated simply, my smile gone.

Moca growled and I smirked at her. "Something wrong, madam."

"Don't you mean to call me 'my lady', half demon?" she smirked.

"Nope." I said calmly. I heard a few lords snicker, and the demoness started getting extremly angry.

"You tramp!" she hissed at me.

"Coming from some one like you, that doesn't mean much." I calmly stated. At this point, I knew we'd fight, and I'm glad I had brought my fan.

Moca stood and threw her cup at me, spilling tea everywhere. I just moved my head to the right, yawning. "That all ya got, princess?" I mocked.

She growled and lifted the table, swinging it at me. I grabbed the edge of the table and placed both feet on it. Then I kicked and pulled at the same time, flipping the table, knocking the woman off and into the wall. I landed on my feet, holding the table with one hand. I set it back where it belonged, and did the splits to avoid the second attack.

Moca had jumped over the table and landed on the floor, whimpering over the slight pain. "Why you!" She jumped behind me and grabbed a peice of the wall that had broken off and broke it over my head.

It didn't even hurt, but I pretended to be knocked out, and waited for what she would do.

"Moca, control yourself!" her father yelled. "Good bye, Sesshomaru, I must punish my daughter for her inexcusable behavior. I sincerly apologize for the wall and for your hanyou."

I heard their footsteps echo down the hallways, until the left the castle all together.

"Cece, get up. You have a wall to fix." Sesshoamru commanded.

I opened one eye and looked at him. "Don't you know how to leave people who are out cold alone?"

"Get up. You are in big trouble for your behavior." he commanded.

I sat up crossed my arms. "Don't act like you don't enjoy the fact that she's gone, because I know you didn't like her." I replied.

"Im angry because you put a huge whole in the wall, again." he grumbled.

"moving on Sesshomaru, we still have the issue of your mating to deal with." the fat man said.

The began their conversation agin, completly ignoring me. I scooted closer to Sesshomaru, gently tugging on the peice of paper he still had. He released it and I read it, my eyes growing a little wider than usual.

"That's it! Sesshomaru, you have to find a mate, now!" A brown haired man demanded, slamming his fist on the table.

"Actually, he doesn't." I stated, still looking at the letter. "This letter says he has 6 months to find a woman. It doesn't even say she has to be his mate, the only really requirment is that he cares for her. He wouldn't even have to love love some one to care, just being friends would count as caring."

Sesshoamru held his hand out for the letter, which I quickly handed over. He smirked as he reread his letter. "She is absolutly correct."

He handed the letter to the angry demon across the table, who read ever word careful. The fat man was the first to speak up again.

"But like the girl said, the woman has to be your friend, and who would be friends with some one as cold as yourself?"

"I'm his friend." I volteered.

"I don't believe you." the brown haired man spoke next, both him and the fat one glaring at me. They must have really wanted his land.

"If he did not consider the girl his friend, why would he allow her to sling a guest into the wall without killing her?" the kind, older demon said. I'd really have to ask Sesshomaru for his name.

"But she's just a hanyou." the fat one protested.

"If you were reading that letter more accuratly, you would have noticed that it said that it didn't matter wether she was human, hanyou, or demon." I responded.

The tow greedy men growled and left, but the kind lord stayed.

"I am truely sorry for their behavoir, but I must say that I do agree that you need to find a mate." His eyes travled to me. "That half-demon would make a suitable mate. She's beautiful, smart, and strong."

I blushed crimson red at him mentioning that I would make a good mate for Sesshomaru-sama. "Good bye, sir and have a safe journey home."

"Please, call me Choui. Goodbye to you as well." Choui said as he left.

Crystal and I quickly grabbed the trays and went to the kitchen, without a word from Sesshomaru. "I can't believe choui-sama said that to Sesshomaru!" Crystal raved.

I just nodded in agreement, still blushing heavily. We put everything away, and sat down to talk.

Meanwhile, Sesshomaru and the boys were having a discussion of their own.
