There was an awkward silence between Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha. Miroku blinked. "Um...was it me, or did your brother say that he wanted Lady Ari to be his mate," Miroku asked. Everyone around him nodded. "Why would you be interested in HER," Inuyasha asked as he glared at his brother.
Sesshoumaru smirked. "It is said that her father is an old man. A VERY old man and he is looking for an eligible demon to be his daughter's mate. It seems that Nefertari's younger half-brothers are too young to even know how to be rulers. The old man is unable to get out of his own bed as far as walk around without any assistance," he said as he looked at Inuyasha.
Sesshoumaru continued, "She also at one time had a lover. His name was Malakai. They were united in a human marriage, but the fool was not clever enough to fully mate with her and produce an heir before he went off to war and died," he said. "So, you think you can take this Malakai's place in her heart. That kind of thing sticks in a young lover's mind and the surviving beloved is afraid to be with another," said Miroku thoughtfully.
Everyone looked to him. "You actually said something right for once, monk," spoke Inuyasha. "I think one of you girls better talk to Ari," he finished. Kagome stood. "I'll go. Hopefully she'll talk to me about this," she said and walked to where Nefertari's bedchamber was.
Kagome opened Nefertari's door and entered. Nefertari was on her bed holding onto one of her silk pillows. Kagome walked up to the bed and sat beside Nefertari. "Ari? Are you okay," she asked as Nefertari looked up at her. She nodded.
"I'm fine, Kagome. I guess I just had to let it all out. Every time I think about my past, I usually don't cry at all," she laughed, "It has actually made me who I am today. I even think what would happen if all of this had never occurred. I'd probably be stuck in that palace waiting for a boring prince to have as a mate, or husband in your terms."
Kagome nodded. "I kind of know what you're talking about. If I never was dragged out of the well, I probably would lead a boring life with no adventure or anything like that," she said thoughtfully. "I must agree. I think these things happen because they all have a purpose in one's life," Nefertari said with the same thoughtfulness.
Kagome looked at Nefertari. 'She seems so young, but yet... she is so wise at the same time,' she thought and then realized that they left the men and Sango in the dining room waiting for the both of them. "Come on. The others are waiting for us," Kagome said. She and Nefertari walked back down to the dining room to be faced with five patient faces.
"Now then. What did you want to talk to me about, Lord Sesshoumaru, is it," Nefertari asked calmly. Sesshoumaru stepped towards her and took one of her hands in his. (A/N: Kinda like Miroku does! Except he won't do anything perverted!) He cleared his throat. "I wanted to ask you an important question. It depends on the fate of your country, father, and my lands.
I know I can never replace you husband, Malakai, but I will try to be similar to him, if possible," he paused, "Nefertari... will you be my mate?" Nefertari stood there in thought. 'Did he just... Yes, he did. Why do I feel so happy? I feel like I could trust him to be with me and do nothing foolish to separate us,' she thought and looked up at him.

Nefertari-Sama: ^____^ I know you all are gonna kill me for stopping here, but ya know I LOVE cliffhangers!
Kitty-San: *sharpening an ax*
Nefertari-Sama: O_______________O Um... Um... Kitty? What are you going to do with that?
Kitty-San: *inches closer and closer to Nefertari-Sama with the ax*
Nefertari-Sama: *panicking* Um...please review! AAAAAHHHHHHHHH! *being chased by Kitty*
