Sesshoumaru could almost feel the fear radiating off of Veronica's person. He was almost wondering why she was so terrified of him if...if she was not human. And such a captivating beauty. He had not seen such since his mother had died.
"From the future? Are you by any chance related to Inuyasha's wench?" He waited however patiently, yet if she did not answer quickly, he would be forced to...well, use force.
"Kagome? No. My time is about 4-5 years after hers. I am only here for the reason I specified to you." 'And for that small little fact that I am totally in love with you' Veronica thought quickly, praying she didn't blush.
"Alright. You may stay, but any discrepancies and I will investigate whether or not you shall remain. Is that clearly understood?" Veronica bowed once again.
"Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama. Arigato." 'I must keep my eye on this one. Her aura is quite strange. It is such a blur of color that I cannot understand. What is that bright orchid color? And the silver...or the blue? I will find out.'
With his thoughts resolved, Sesshoumaru led his new ward into the palace. Once inside, she was amazed at the ornate work of the walls, ceilings, and floors. Gold and a pearl-colored white were worked into almost everything. The tiles of the floor were black with gold patterns flitting across them. Everything in the house was beautiful. She couldn't wait to see the rest.
Suddenly a sour smell reached her all-too-sensitive nose and she grimaced. Hiding her face in the sleeve of her pink jacket she watched, horrified as the smell got stronger and a small toad Youkai approached.
"Sesshoumaru-sama, you have returned. This Jaken is so happy to be able to greet you." "Jaken, go and prepare the room next to Rin's. This is our guest. Her name is..." Here Sesshoumaru drifted off expecting her to finish.
"Veronica. My name is Veronica." Sesshoumaru noticed something he had missed before. The six-pointed star on her forehead. It marked her as a princess from the Southern Lands.
"Make sure that Veronica's needs are met. Send Hikari to watch over her."
"Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama. This humble Jaken shall do as you ask." Jaken scurried off in a flash. Veronica took a great deep breath, glad to be able to breath again. Veronica jumped as a red and orange blur attached itself to Sesshoumaru's leg. "Sesshoumaru-sama! You came back! Jaken-sama said you left because Rin smelled bad. Is that true?" As soon as her sentence was done tears filled the child's big, brown eyes.
"No. Rin that would be never true." Sesshoumaru picked the child up in his arms and turned toward Veronica. "Rin, this is Veronica. She will be staying with us from now on." "Are you going to be Rin's okaa-san?" The little girl was ecstatic about the prospect of having a mother.
