New feelings

Inutaisho and I walked outside. The morning breeze welcomed me with the scent of flowers. A man about Inutaisho's age stepped off his beautiful black stallion. He was wearing a dark blue haori with a yellow obi. His face had a tear drop on his forehead symbolize the southern lands. His eyes were a beautiful green color.

" You most be the beautiful lady Kora that I have heard about." Lord Ryu said. He took my hand and kissed it. I blushed at his comment.

" I am." He looked at me. I became lost in his green eyes for there was sadness and pain in them.

" The rumors are correct. You have a very kind heart."

" Why thank you." Blushing alittle deeper.

" We should go inside for some tea Lord Ryu," said Inutaisho who was beginning to walk into the palace. Ryu followed him inside while I went into the garden. I found Sesshoumaru sitting on a boulder looking into the pond. After a while he turned to look at me.

" Sesshoumaru, Why weren't you with us? It is very impolite to not welcome a lord."

" I have my reasons." He walked over to me and took my hands into his. Then looked me straight into the eye.

" What is wrong Sesshoumaru?" My voice full of concern. I was very uncomfortable never has he touched me so gentle. His voice was soft and full of emotion.

" Are you interested in Lord Ryu?" He caught me by surprise. Why would he care what I think?

" No I am not. Why do you ask such a question?" Silence. It seemed like he was holding back on something. My heart started to pound in my ear. Why am I so excited about him being so nice? It was confusing. " I just met him." He let go and walked back to the palace I followed shortly after him. I found Inutaisho and Ryu talking. He came up to me and kneeled on one knee and took my right hand.

" Will you lady Kora be my mate?" Ryu asked. He was very nervous and looked up at me.

" I'm sorry lord Ryu but I cannot be your mate. I'm still young and I hardly know you. From what I have heard you have two children correct?"

" Yes two sons."

" I'm sorry but I can't."

" My lady what if we got to know each other?"

" I don't-"

" That sounds like a good idea." Said Inutaisho. " I will leave you two here." I gave him an evil glare and he walked out.

" Well my lady what do you want to know?"

" Why are you even here?"

" Well my sons need a mother and I need a mate."

" Oh so someone who will be your slave and bear you children."

" Maybe." He cupped my chin in his hand. " You really have no say in the matter." How dare he! Yes I'm a woman But I refuse to be treated like the other women.

" I will not have you speak of such things!"

" Why it's the truth you women were meant to obey us." I slapped him.

" I'm not like them. I refuse to be treated like them!" I screamed at him than slammed the door and ran into Sesshoumaru. " I'm sorry." I walked past him and straight to my room. How could someone say that? I'm a living being. I have feelings. There was consent knocking on my door. " Come in." It was Inutaisho and Sesshoumaru.

" What did he say to you Kora?" asked Inutaisho.

" I don't feel like talking about it." I was blushing my hair. Trying not to think about it. Tears dared to spill from my eyes. " And don't touch that Sesshoumaru." I got up and walked to him. He was playing with my music box.

" What is it?"

" None of your business." I grabbed it from him and placed it back where it came from.

" Bitch."

" Yes I know arrogant basterd." We both stared at each other ready for someone to make a move.

" Enough children." Inutaisho stepped in between us. " You act like little pups fighting over food."

" He started it like usual."

" I, Sesshoumaru start nothing."

" Yeah whatever."

" Lets get to the point already. What did he say Kora?" said Inutaisho.

" He said I had no say in who I mate with and that women were meant to obey their men."

" Well its true." Said Sesshoumaru in his cold emotionless voice.

" How can you say that!" Now I was pissed. He just stared at me. I knew he loved to see me mad.

" Sesshoumaru met me in my study now." Sesshoumaru obeyed and walked to the private study. " Its not true Kora." I layed on the bed hugging my pillow.

" I refuse to cry." I kept saying to myself. I have to be strong but it is how things work during this time. Women were used as slaves they did whatever the man said. No one rarely married or mated for love it was arranged.

" Kora, You are a strong person just like your mom. She gave up her title for love of your father. I will not marry you to someone I let you choose." He hugged me close to him.

" Thank you my lord for every thing."

" Your welcome." He kissed my forehead. " Now I have to talk to my son." He walked out and I layed on the bed just thinking about things that happened today.

In the Study….

Sesshoumaru sat in the chair in front of the desk. Inutaisho walked in.

" You have no right to talk to her like that." He said in a deep, disappointed voice.

" Why it's the truth? That the way this world works." Said Sesshoumaru.

" Kora is more than that…. Maybe the western lands should go to her care." Sesshoumaru gave his father an evil and deadly glare. " Don't give me that the look. Just like you said it's the truth." With that, he walks out leaving Sesshoumaru to think.

Dinner time….

I walked downstairs to the main hall. Sesshoumaru stopped me before entering the hall.

" We need to talk."

" Why? We have nothing to talk about." I pushed past him and entered. He came in shortly after.

Inutaisho sat in the front, I sat to his right and Sesshoumaru is left. It was quiet until Lord Ryu came in.

He sat by me, his hand was around my waist making me very uncomfortable.

" Lord Ryu will you please remove your arm from my waist." I stated. Sesshoumaru gave a low growl. Everyone looked at him.

" Is everything ok Prince Sesshoumaru?" asked Ryu.

" Just dandy." He went back to eating. We all started eating. After everyone was finished. As tradition everyone stood up and bowed to the ruling lord then left.

" Goodnight my lady." Said Ryu. He kissed my hand and left toward his room. I heard a low growl from behind me.

" Sesshoumaru what has got-" His lips claimed mine. I was too surprised to move. I felt my body react to his. My arms went around his neck and his hands around my waist. Time seemed to slow down for us. Finally gaining control of my body, I pushed him away. He released me and went into his room. " Well goodnight to you too." I went into my room.
