Chapter 4

Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha. I dream about it though.

New opponents

After my long bath. I wrapped the towel around myself and walk into my room. Sesshoumaru was on my bed.

" What are you doing here?" I asked.

" We need to talk." He stared at me and I started to blush.

" Do you like what you see?" I said while blushing.

" Bitch. Why would you think that I'm interested in you?"

" First, You won't stop staring at me. Second, the kiss from yesterday. Third, You keep growling at lord Ryu." He glared at me. " You act as if nothing happened." He got up from the bed and walked over to my table where the music box was.

" What is this?"

" My music box. Now stop changing the subject!" His hand caught my wrist and pulled me into his embrace. We stayed like that for a while. No one moving. There was a knock on the door and Kiana entered.

" Oh. Sorry my lady. I-"

" Its ok Sesshoumaru was just leaving." He gave me a very evil glare then walked out and Kiana helped me dress.

" He is very attracted to you."

" Whatever. He has been acting weird lately. Yesterday he growled at Lord Ryu." We left my room and went to the breakfast hall. Today just wasn't my day. Lord Ryu was again sitting next to me. Lucky Lord Inutaisho entered. Everyone stood and when he sat, we took our sits. I felt a hand around my waist. Just out of reflex, I slapped him.

" You ass!" I yelled. " Keep you filthy hands to yourself." Everyone stared at me. Lord Ryu just looked at me with surprise. I let myself calm down before speaking. " My lord may I please be excused?" He nodded and I walked out then went into the garden.

" Lord Ryu I'm going to ask you nicely to leave this palace." Said Inutaisho.

" As you wish lord Inutaisho." Said Ryu who walked out to pack his things.

" Sesshoumaru, go after Kora. I need to speak with her."

" Yes Father." He walked to the garden. " Kora?"

" What?" I wasn't in a very pleasant mood.

" Father wants to see you." He sat next to me on the boulder.

" Fine." I was about to push pass him but he grabbed me and again kissed my lips. " What the hell is your problem?" I said when I pushed him away. All he did was walk away like nothing happened. " Ass." I walked to the private study. Inutaisho was sitting at his desk. " My lord you wanted to see me?"

" Yes. Have a seat." I sat in front of the desk. " We have a guest that will be staying."

" Let me guess. He wants to ask my hand in marriage?"

" Yes. But this one is different. He is a lord's son."

" Who?" I asked. I wasn't interested really. Its just another annoying man who wanted someone to have sex with him.

" Shiro of the Eastern lands. Son of Lord Hashi."

" A cat?"

" Yes."

" Great! I refuse! Never will I marry a cat!"

" He is half cat."

" A half demon?"

" Yes." He rubbed his temples. I knew I was started to annoy him. " Just give the boy a chance. He is only 17."

" Fine. But if he touches me in anyway I'll kill him."

" Fine." He dismissed me and I went into the kitchen for a snack. I found Sesshoumaru in the food hall. He stared at me and I gave him a glare of my own.

" We have a new male guest coming to visit!" I was trying to make him mad or at least jealous. " He's lord Hashi's son Shiro." I heard a low growl. " Jealous are we?"

" Why would I, Sesshoumaru be jealous of that brat."

" For one he is going to ask my hand in marriage and maybe I'll accept." I could have sworn that I saw his eyes flash red. " And my birthday is tomorrow." With that, I walked out leaving him to think. Kiana followed me to my room.

" My lady?"

" Hmm?" I layed on my bed. Silence covered us. " Kiana are we friends?"

" Yes my lady."

" Then please stop calling me my lady. I have a name and its Kora. Plus we're friends and your like a sister to me."

" Yes Kora." She sat next to me.

" Have you heard about prince Shiro?"

" Yes. They say that he is very handsome. With dreamy green eyes, a wonderful smile and cute kitty ears."

" Wow. He does sound nice." I said while staring at the ceiling. I couldn't get Sesshoumaru off my mind. Why can't I stop thinking about him?

" Yeah. Kora, you have lessons in sword fighting with lord Inutaisho in an hour."

" Yeah I know." I said in a dreamy voice.

" Are you ok?"

" Yep." I snapped and sat up, out of my daydream and it scared the crap out of Kiana.

" Your scaring me." She gave me a weird look.

" Yep that's the idea!" I said in a very happy voice.

" How much did you drink today?"

" One." She stared at me. " Ok maybe a couple. But thanks to Sesshoumaru."

" That's not an excuse. Lord Inutaisho wants you to act like a real lady. Not a tomboy."

" That's how you want me to act." I layed down again. " I refuse to act like other bitches."

" Well how are you going to find a mate. I already have one."

" Yeah Naraku. Plus I'm only fifteen that's 105 in human years."

" You are still young but very beautiful. Many men would die to have you as a wife."

" Good for them. But-" I was cut off by Inutaisho who just walked into my room without knocking.

" Kora, Prince Shiro is here. Change and met us in the garden."

" Yes my lord." He left and I went into my Closet for a new kimono. I picked out one that had red roses on it. Kiana helped me with my hair.

" Now don't act stupid in front of Prince Shiro. I know you had enough sakes for today." She finished and we walked to the garden. I saw the prince he indeed was quite cute. Kitty ears sat on his head and his eyes were beautiful green eyes and long black hair. He walked up to me and took my hand.

" You must be the beautiful lady Kora."

" Yes." He handed me a red rose. " Oh how sweet. Thank you." Indeed, I was starting to fall for him.

" Your welcome." He looked at me. We stared at each other for a while.

" Well… Let us leave them alone lord Hashi. We can talk in my study." They walked to the study. Leaving us alone.

" You have beautiful eyes lady Kora."

" Thank you." I blushed. " Come." I grabbed his hand and dragged him to my favorite tree. " Sit." He sat next to me. I could fell someone looking at me. I looked toward the palace their sat Sesshoumaru on the boulder staring at us. His eyes were blinking red and then white. His claws were drawing blood from his hand and they also were dripping poison. I did something that later I would regret I kissed lord Shiro.
