Sirius Star Trilogy: Maiden-Lord
Chapter 2: Of Dream Strength and Jewels

She looked down at the bowl of rice in front of her. The she-demon stared at the lord then gracefully put her chopsticks down. 'In my years as a demon, I have never met a demon lord who treats other demons to human food.' She complained to him in a firm voice.
'You are not a noble demon to me, but a prisoner and a servant. The accursed hanyou gave no details as to how I should treat you and what you should eat, therefore, you can choose not to eat the "human" food or you choose to starve.'
'I'll take the latter, "Milord." '
'You dare mock my title?'
'That and more.'
'You have spunk, I'll give you that, but other than that, you're just a normal demon.'
'I have more than enough power to take a form like yours!'
Sesshômaru smirked. The winner of a demon battle was usually who stayed calm the most. The she-demon was starting to get angered and excited; not a good candidate for a battle of great proportion. Excited demons would get pumped with adrenaline and go berserk, eventually injuring themselves instead of their opponent. "She'll probably start changing into her true form," He thought, "I'm amazed she's kept her scent and name hidden from me this long. It matters not, I'll find out in a matter of seconds…"
Sesshômaru glared at her fiercely and they engaged in combat again, but this time, psychological. He broke the barrier of her mind with ease; it was really as though it had been temporarily weakened just for his entrance. His subconscious-self looked around. Where there was darkness in his mind, hers seemed to reflect light; his tiny bit of light had darkness in her mind instead. It was if her mind was a reflection of his. "Two sides of the same gold coin-" The S.C demon-lord thought. He shook his head and listened for what he wanted. Sesshômaru swiveled his ears slightly until he picked up a voice. It was feminine, soft as satin, smooth as silk, delicate and beautiful; there was truly only one way to explain it and that was-angelic. It was like honey to his ears. The voice whispered two words to him and he had found what he needed. His subconscious-self flew/swam in between the barriers of their minds. He used some of his power to repair hers and sank into his own mind.
'Yume Chakra of the MoriUmi no Tama, I presume. Amazing that you actually have a last name.' Sesshômaru took a sip of the glass of sake in front of him.
'How could you-'
'You did not think, that with all of my vast power, I would have no way to find out such as your name and other such menial information about you.' He sighed as if she was annoying him, 'Since you are of noble blood after all, I believe it is in the lord's code of honor to train you.'
'HUH!? WHAT'RE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT!?!?'
'That jewel on your forehead is the MoriUmi no Tama. It signifies noble birth. I have the YamiTigre (sorry guys, I forgot how to say "tiger" in Japanese, so, so sorry! ) no Tama. It gives me the power of poison just as the MoriUmi no Tama gives you the power of healing.
'You have my lands' polar opposite and my powers' opposite as well. When you come of age, the panther youkai that are ruling the East will have no choice but to step down.'
Sesshômaru took note of Yume flinching when he mentioned the panthers. 'Go down to the kitchen and tell Jaken I sent you.' He got up from the table, 'I will be expecting you before Amateratsu touches the earth.'
The inuyoukai padded out of the room and left Yume to her thoughts.
