Chapter 38
Welcomes, Annoyance, and Depression
It was late and you were on your way home. You knew this because you passed the perfect, clear waterfall who flowed into the small river through the forest outside the castle. You had eaten earlier. Sesshomaru had caught you and Tiffany some fish, so you didn't need to stop again. They tasted alright. You didn't like the idea of killing for food, though you did like meat, you didn't want to be the one responsible for its death. The idea of it made you sad, but you made an effort not to show it, in your expression.
Sesshomaru was mad at you, for some reason. You couldn't fathom the reason behind it. He's been mad with you since you left Leviathans castle. 'Maybe he's worried.' You thought. You couldn't blame him. He gave you his soul and if you died, he may as well. You weren't worried at all by your death, it was going to happen sooner or later. You were worried about bringing Sesshomaru down with you.
You sighed, 'It would be my fault if he dies.' Tiffany looked to you, though you didn't notice, "What's wrong?" Her question snapped you out of your thoughts, "Don't worry about it... It's nothing I can't handle." You didn't want her or Sesshomaru to worry. Sesshomaru glanced at you and then looked away. Tiffany sighed, "Okay." She didn't want to press the question, nor did she want to make you mad.
You made it to the gloriously detailed castle doors at dusk. Sesshomaru opened the doors and stepped through. You followed. You were immediately attacked. You came to your senses to notice your lovable baby unicorn, sitting on your chest. You smiled, "Hello." You sat up and cradled her in your arms. You heard an, "Aww," in three different voices. You looked up to see Tiffany, Kiersten, and Jenny hovering above you to get a closer look at the small creature in your arms. You giggled and whispered to the unicorn, "Go say 'hi' to Sesshomaru." Her beautiful silver eyes fluttered open. She flapped her angelic wings and took flight into the air. Sesshomaru stood still. He knew this trick very well, and he made it easier for her to land. She nuzzled his forehead and cuddled up into his hair. She was very clean, she was bathed once a day, and Sesshomaru didn't mind it as long as he didn't have to hold her. Kiersten giggled. Jenny smirked, "I think she likes you." Tiffany jumped up and down, "Can I hold her?" You smiled, "Sure, just be gentle." Uni (the name you gave her) flew down into your open arms. You turned to face them. You smiled, "Uni?" She looked at you, curiously, "This is Tiffany, Kiersten and Jenny." You pointed to each one of them as you said their names. Uni neighed happily. She hopped into Tiffany's arms. Kiersten pets her, "When did you get her?" You smiled at the memory, "My eighteenth birthday. Sesshomaru gave her to me." "Wow." Kiersten replied. Jenny was playing with her wings. Uni didn't mind, she liked the attention. Jenny giggled, "How old is she?" Uni licked Jenny's hand. You smiled, "A few months, actually. I still have to feed her by bottle." Jenny smirked, "She's like yours and Sesshomaru's child." You blushed and heard a familiar annoying screech, "Lord Sesshomaru! You've returned." You sighed. Jenny growled, "When is that warped frog going to die? He's been bothering me and Lloyd since you left." You shrugged. Jaken appeared at the top of the stairs and tumbled down. He was obviously in a hurry. He rubbed his skull and bowed at Sesshomaru's feet, "Lord Sesshom..." Sesshomaru kicked him, hard. Jaken recovered and bowed, where he landed, "Forgive me my lord, but Lord Satsuye sent you an urgent message." Sesshomaru growled, "I'll deal with it later. I have other things, more urgent, that needs my attention." Sesshomaru turned, "_, I need to speak with you." I stood and walked to him. Jaken did as well. Sesshomaru glared at Jaken, "Alone." You followed him towards his office, silently. Uni flew into your arms. You rubbed her head. You whispered to her, "Play with Kiersten, okay." She nuzzled your forehead and flew to Kiersten. Kiersten mouthed a 'Thank you.' You nodded and walked into Sesshomaru's office.
