Tari-Sama: Right. Back to what I was saying, Here's the new chappy and...and... ... ... ... ~______________~ Grrrrrr! DAMN IT KITTY! YOU MADE ME FORGET WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY!!!

Inuyasha blinked. 'She... she... was a PRINCESS' he thought as she bent her head down to look at her ringed fingers. "Yes, a princess. Are you happy now," she snapped as she got up from her vanity and sat on her bed. Inuyasha nodded and walked out of her room. After he left, Nefertari broke out into tears.
**AT SESSHOUMARU'S PALACE**
Sesshoumaru was looking through scrolls and articles of writing trying to get more information on 'his' Nefertari. 'Why can't I find any information about her,' he questioned in his mind before looking over another piece of parchment. His little toad-like imp, Jaken, rushed in with a piece of scroll in his arms. "Lord Sesshoumaru! I found information about that demoness. It came from a far away land," he said as he gave it to Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru took at and looked at over. He smirked as he kept on reading. "So our little demoness is a princess. A powerful one at that," he said as he skimmed through the scroll, "She also has three younger brothers. Her biological brother, Ramose, and her two half brothers, Setae and Thutmose. "
Her father is a demon king, but lost his left eye in battle before she was born. He replaced it with a gold eye, and left with a scar going down his eye. Her mother had an affair behind her husband's back with two other men. The first affair resulted in the birth of Setae, and the second one ended in the birth of Thutmose," Sesshoumaru smirked. 'Looks like I have a complete history on her,' he thought.
He looked through it until something caught his eye. "She had a husband, but the fool didn't mate with her. He died in a battle before he could have the chance to," he shook his head. Sesshoumaru looked at it until he found a name. 'Malakai. That's his name,' he thought.
Jaken looked at his master as he read the scroll aloud. He had a feeling that his master would use this information as a weakness against the demoness, now known as Princess Nefertari, heir of the Egyptian throne.
**BACK AT NEFERTARI'S MANSION**
The dinner bell rung to call Nefertari and the Inu gang to eat. All, but Nefertari made it into the dining room, and settled down to eat. While they ate, Nefertari walked in wearing a white halter dress top and floor length skirt with her hair still up in the bun. "Sorry I'm late. I was just catching up on things," she said apologetically as she sat down at the head of the table and started to eat. "We understand. Don't worry about it," Kagome said smiling at her.
A knock was heard throughout the room. Nefertari set down her oden. "Who could it be at this time of evening," she said as she got up. Nefertari walked over to the door and gasped, "S-s-s-Sesshoumaru?" Sesshoumaru smirked.
"Well, we meet again, princess," he said as he walked through the door into the dining room. Inuyasha and Miroku stood up and took defensive stances. "What are you doing here," snarled Inuyasha as he took out Tetsuiaga. "SIT," yelled Kagome as Inuyasha face-faulted into the marble part of the dining room floor. "It's all right, Kagome. If 'Lord' Sesshoumaru wants to speak to me, he can. Please sit," Nefertari motioned to the seat to her left.
Sesshoumaru nodded and sat. Nefertari offered him some food, but he refused. "I come here to talk to you, princess," he said as he drank some green tea. There was a silence in the room. "What does he mean by 'princess'," Miroku asked after a long silence. Nefertari looked to him sadly.
"I am a princess, indeed, but not of this country," she said as she looked away. "You mean... Egypt," asked Shippo curiously. Nefertari nodded. "Yes, Egypt. I lived with my partly blind father and my brothers Ramose, Setae, and Thutmose," she said glancing at Sesshoumaru out of the corner of her eye.
"Why didn't you tell us," asked Sango. "I couldn't. I know you would treat me as if I am precious cargo. I am not a piece of glass that could be easily shattered," she all, but yelled the last part. Nefertari stood up and rubbed her temples. "We weren't saying you were," piped in Kagome, "You ran away from it didn't you?"
"I had to! I was sick and tired of it! Do you know how hard it is to wake up every day with people around you expecting you to be someone you're not?! Try living with a mother that hates you, a father that is literally dying every minute of his life, and two of your younger brothers treating you like you were nobody. Especially since your mother leaves your family because of your first born child, me," Nefertari said almost crying. Sesshoumaru stood up and held her while she cried.
Sango, Inuyasha, Shippo, Miroku, and Kirara couldn't believe all that she went through. That this woman, who was so kind enough to let them stay in her home and eat her food, suffered through hardships that were similar to their put together. Nefertari stopped her crying. "Excuse me," she said before walking out of the dining room to hers. Inuyasha turned to Sesshoumaru.
"What do you want," snarled Inuyasha keeping a hand on the hilt of his sword. Sesshoumaru smirked. "I came to ask Nefertari to be my mate," he said casually.
