Karana slowly did her version of a death march following Sesshoumaru to his room. As they walked into his chambers Karana snickered. "Matches your taste Lord Sesshoumaru" She said sarcastically noticing all the fine drapes and cushiness lying around. Sesshoumaru maintained a stone face. He pointed to a bed with red and yellow satin blankets and sheets. "That is where you shall sleep." He said in his low monotone voice, "And over there" he pointed to a large oak door. "Is the restroom if you need it.". Karana stared at him blankly not wanting to offend him by laughing. 'He must think I'm stupid or something' She thought laughing mentally. Sesshoumaru stiffened "If there is anything you need call Jaken" he said as he sat down at an aspen made desk. Karana who had already been in pajamas yawned "So can I sleep yet?" She asked smirking. "Go ahead" He said boredly enraptured in his work. Karana smiled happily and ran on to the bed jumping on to it when she got close enough. The sheets flew up in a furry. Sesshoumaru turned around and glared coldly at Karana. Karana simply shrugged and dove under the covers. She was a sleep in seconds.
Sesshoumaru sighed and kept on working for around half of an hour, the only sound he could hear was Karana's light breathing. After he worked a bit longer he set his pen down gently and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He turned around and looked at Karana. ' More of a kid, than a royal demoness' He thought coldly. Karana shifted slowly, but Sesshoumaru didn't notice he had fallen asleep himself.
Karana sat up and yawned "Morning already?" She said out loud as she rubbed her eyes. She turned to look around the room and jumped half a foot as she noticed that Sesshoumaru was still sitting at his desk he was still a sleep. What scared her more is that it looked like he had been looking at her before he had fallen asleep. She slowly got up and set her feet on the ground. She walked across the floor as quietly and slowly as she could but despite her efforts the floor creaked aimlessly as she tip-toed across it. She got about half way across the room when Sesshoumaru slightly shifted. She ran and hid behind the huge oak walking closet in the room and was breathing heavily. Sesshoumaru slowly stood up and looked around the room. Then his eyes fell upon the now empty bed. "Damn her, where did she go?" He said still in monotone. Karana was right next to the restroom door so she inched over to it and slowly opened it and closed it. She then stood up and tried to make it look as if she had just come out. "Finally awake I see" She said as smooth as she could. "Yes" Sesshoumaru said coldly eyeing her, "Would you like to go to the training dojo this afternoon?" He asked. "Why not?" She said "Let me change into a clean kimono before breakfast though" She said smiling as she left the room.
Sesshoumaru stood up from his desk and knocked a paper off of it. Not noticing he walked off. Karana came back in to get her hair ribbon and found it, it said:
You are formally invited to a social party at Sesshoumaru, Lord of the western Lands, Palace. Please arrive at noon sharply and be prepared to enjoy your self.
Karana's eyes widened. "Now why didn't he tell me about this?" She asked out loud "Well we will see if he mentions it later." She tucked the invitation into her pocket and checked the clock. "nine thirty, hmmm…" She said "Weather he wants it or not I'm going." She walked out of the room and headed down the stairs to the dining hall.
