***Sesshie and Angel***
Sesshomaru didn't have the slightest idea why he was comforting Angel, but he felt it was needed. He had not only enslaved her sister, but Angel as well. He didn't even want to keep the girls as his serfs, but he wouldn't let them go or it would ruin his cold reputation. He would rather them be miserable then let other people think he had gone soft.
"Sesshomaru?" Angel whispered softly as they crossed over a forest.
"Yes Angel?" He replied in a deep and fatherly voice. Angel looked up at him in shock and blinked twice for effect.
"I was just, I wanted to know something." She asked forgetting the fact that he had actually said her name.
"What?" He inquired getting partially annoyed with talking.
"Why are you keeping me? I mean, not that I mind-" she cut herself off to adjust her position with Sesshomaru's soft tail.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Sesshomaru responded quickly. He didn't want her thinking that he did want her around.
"But you asked for me to come with you." Angel said and looked up at the tai-youkai's face.
"You came on your own."
" I did not! I remember specifically when you told me to come with you!" Angel said angrily.
"Stop arguing like a child. I acknowledge everything I ever say and that's it."
"Fine. I came with you on my will." Angel pouted and crossed her arms irritably.
'He still said, 'Come Angel.'' Angel thought to herself.
'I heard that.' Sesshomaru's voice said from inside her head. She growled in response but hugged him tighter.
"Yes well. I don't mind anyway Fluffy." She said and smirked childishly. He looked down at her expecting to see a playful grin. Instead, he saw the top of a young youkai's head and the hushed sound of synchronized breathing. Try as he might, he couldn't make his lips stop from curving upward in a satisfied smile.
They arrived in his courtyard about an hour later. Before landing, he gracefully picked Angel up bridal style and stepped down upon the soft emerald grass. Angel blinked awake and looked up at the royal demon that was carrying her. He knew she was awake but didn't look at her. She knew she was getting the cold shoulder but sat it out anyway. A young reon- youkai greeted the couple at the door. She had auburn hair, which was braided into two neat braids, and she had bright green cat-like eyes. Her complexion was tan and her lips were painted pink, along with her eyelids. She had a red six-pointed star on her forehead symbolizing that she was also a tai-youkai. She had a dark green haori with shirtsleeves and dark green hakamas. She had black shoes like Sesshomaru, and a yellow and purple sash like him too. She looked only a bit older than Angel, and younger than Sesshomaru.
"Well it took you long enough." The lion demon stated. "Where's the human?" She eyed Angel suspiciously making her feel unwanted.
"She is with this ones sister and my half breed brother." Sesshomaru said coldly and let go of Angel. She landed on the ground gracefully despite the fact that she was dropped without warning.
"Why did you leave her? And what of Jaken?" she snapped and gave an angry look at Sesshomaru.
"Yoshiko, Settle down. I absentmindedly left the girl because I was angry with Inu Yasha. You know how easy that is. I truly don't care about the little green maggot. I think a tora youkai killed him actually. Besides, now I have two servants and they aren't at all ugly." The inu-youkai said coolly. Then he blushed because of the look on Angel's face and the fact that he complimented her and her sister.
"Okay. So you left the toad. Did you at least get the Staff of Sculls?" she asked impatiently.
"No. I will send Angel for it in the morning." He replied. Angel looked up at him. Before she could object, Yoshiko spoke.
"Wouldn't it be stolen by then?"
"It wouldn't matter. Only I or Jaken could wield it unless I said otherwise."
"Fine. I suspect this is a new serf?" said the reon youkai while inspecting Angel. She circled her and looked up and down her body sizing her up. "Where's your mark mixed breed?" Yoshiko ordered. Angel held out her wrist and pulled her kimono up. Two cerulean marks crosshatched over her wrist. She held rolled her sleeve up more to where there was another azure marking above her elbow. Yoshiko sniffed it examining her family tree through it. "So Sesshomaru, you have a virgin youkai with no tai-youkai past standing before you." Yoshiko reported and leaned against the doorway.
"You expect me not to know this by now?" he said aggregately. Yoshiko kept her cool and answered.
"How am I to know? Oh well. Now I know. Now sensei, should we head in?" she said and turned her back on the inu youkai. Sesshomaru followed. Angel grimaced at the fact that she was taking orders. Usually SHE was the one handing out orders. Yoshiko's cocky attitude was not going well with her.
When they entered the palace, Angel nearly keeled over and died in shock. She knew he was rich but DAMN! In the middle of the huge greeting area was a glass aquarium that reached to the ceiling. Inside of the aquarium, there was no ceiling, were various exotic plants and birds fluttered in and out of the tank. The walls were white and painted with beautiful designs of flowers and animals. Plants were scattered throughout the room. At the very end of the room there was no door, but a hallway that led in three directions.
(a/n: Think Naraku's castle entrance.)
Yoshiko left the pair to go to her own quarters on the left hallway. Sesshomaru led Angel down the right hallway and stopped at the end of the hall. There were three doors. He slid one of them open to reveal a beautiful bedroom furnished with a bed, nightstand, and a dresser. The bed was adorned with gorgeous silk sheets and a pillow made of soft rabbit pelts. She had to restrain herself from jumping on the bed and smothering herself in the pillows. Sesshomaru introduced the room and gave her a tour.
"This is your room, you will wake up before the sun rises everyday to attend to business, I will give you an assignment every night so you know before hand. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes Sesshomaru-sama. Crystal!" she said and pounced on the bed with the ferocity of a cat on it's prey. Sesshomaru watched her snuggled the pillows and the feather bed. She reminded him of an older Rin. Only Rin didn't have something that Angel did. He pondered about this and left the room.
***Okami***
"Naraku-sama, can I come in?" Okami said politely as she entered the room. Naraku glanced over at her and cringed.
"I told you to stop fighting with Kagura. Get fresh clothes on. You look like a peasant in those rags." Naraku said and looked back outside. He wasn't truly looking at anything; he didn't have anything better to do. Occasionally, birds would fly into the barrier that surrounded his castle and sizzle as if electrocuted. This was like a primitive television to him, though he couldn't change the channel.
"Yes my lord. May Okami ask of you a favor before?" the wolf hanyou questioned timidly. Naraku was annoyed but looked over at the maiden.
"What does the twit want now?" he commanded more than asked.
"Okami was wondering if she could have the jewel removed. She doesn't want the power if it makes her so hateful."
"I told her that she could only have it removed once the entire neko family is killed. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes my lord. If that is what you wish." Okami said and she stepped out of the room. She walked down the hallway to her corridor and sat on her bed. The only thing she ever wanted was to be free. Okami never wanted to kill. Naraku wanted to kill. He wanted the neko family to be wiped off of the face of the earth. Naraku was controlling Okami through the shard in her right temple. If the hanyou tried to remove it, she would kill herself. Naraku was the only one with the power to take the jewel from her head. She remembers obtaining the shard like it was yesterday.
**Flashback**
Okami was in one of the most famous battles of the time, The Black Blood Battle. She was on her deathbed but refused to give up hope. The war at the time was hanyou against youkai. She had, obviously, been on the hanyou side of the conflict. She was the last standing hanyou in a field of youkai; or so she thought. They surrounded her like sharks and when one youkai swiped into her thigh, she knew she wouldn't survive. At that moment, she had blacked out, unaware if she was alive or dead. She woke in a dark room with nothing but one torch on the wall.
She sat up but then cried out in pain when her head throbbed in agony. She set herself back down gently and panted as if she had run a mile. She couldn't be dead; she felt pain. Then where was she? She tilted her head to the side and nearly died in fright to see a young man sitting there. His eyes were a deep and sinister crimson and were outlined in a thin dark blue contour. His wavy black hair was tied up in a tight plait and his robes were as dark blue as his eye shadow.
"Who are y-you and w-what do y-you want?" Okami stuttered out trying to ignore the pain that was screaming in her head.
"That's no way to speak to someone who just saved your life now is it?" the man spoke and his lips turned up in a small smirk.
"Saved me?" Okami spoke in disbelief. Why would someone like this want to save her?
"Yes. But now you are my mind slave and I can control you when I want so that will be all." The man said simply.
"WAIT WAIT WAIT a second, you can't just do that! I don't even know who you are!" Okami cried and sat up despite her head. She involuntarily got out of the bed and walking up to the man. She looked down at herself in disbelief, her eyes wide and her jaw dropped.
"I'm Naraku. Come servant. You need new clothes."
