"My, my, my. Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" Naraku asked.
"None of your business. What are YOU doing here?" Inuyasha asked.
"I'm coming to get what is rightfully mine," Naraku said, as he reached the second last stair.
"What do we have that's yours?" Sesshomaru growled, his eyes red.
"Her. That woman in your arms," Naraku told him.
"Casa? Never. She isn't property. She's a person," Sesshomaru growled.
"Sesshomaru?" Casa mumbled, awaking.
"Casa? Are you ok?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Yes, just fine," she told him.
"Casa, how are you doing? Did you miss me?" Naraku asked. Casa's eyes snapped open as she backed as much as possible, but she was still in Sesshomaru's arms.
"Casa, why are you afraid of him?" Sesshomaru asked.
"You bastard! Get away from me!" Casa yelled at Naraku, completely ignoring Sesshomaru.
"Casa, I was talking to you!" Sesshomaru yelled at her.
She continued to ignore Sesshomaru. "Naraku, get out of my life!" She yelled at Naraku.
"You heard her! Leave!" Inuyasha yelled.
"So, she has both of Inutaisho's sons infatuated. How sweet," Naraku mocked.
"Both of us? Never! She doesn't even have one of us!" Sesshomaru yelled.
"Don't lie, Sesshomaru. It's not good for your karma," Naraku crackled. His puppet burst into flames as the ashes laid on the stair. Casa was shaking uncontrollably.
"Everyone will be sleeping in the dining room. Now get in there, NOW!" Sesshomaru ordered and everyone ran to the room. Sesshomaru carried Casa to the bedroom and comforted her as much as possible. No matter what he did, she couldn't stop shaking. He eventually gave up and started yelling at her, which made matters worst.
"Just stop shaking! I need to get some information from you!" Sesshomaru yelled. Casa continued to shake and started crying as well. Sesshomaru groaned as he tried to comfort her again. He was never good with this type of stuff. No wonder his elders continued to bug him about hiding his emotions. They knew if he started showing them, he wouldn't do good when it came to consideration. He sighed as a knock was heard at the door. He forgot to close the door, and saw Sango standing there.
"Lord Sesshomaru, I think you should leave her to me. She might be better talking to a woman than a male," Sango advised.
Sesshomaru hissed at Sango but remembered when Rin came to talk to Casa the night before. She was more comfortable talking to Rin, a girl, then Sesshomaru. She at least got out of the corner and stopped crying. He sighed and left Casa sitting on the bed, still crying. Sesshomaru took one last look at Casa before he went downstairs to Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku and Shippo. A high pitched scream was heard downstairs from the dining room before a loud slap was heard. It echoed throughout the palace and he heard a quiet giggle upstairs. I guess Sango's idea was working, thought Sesshomaru. He entered the dining room calmly to a raging priestess. Miroku had a hand indent on his face and a bump on his head. Inuyasha was planted into the floor, making an indent in Sesshomaru's marble floor. Sesshomaru chuckled silently as he sat down. Shippo couldn't stop laughing and rolling on the floor. Miroku picked Shippo up by the tail and slapped him once. Inuyasha finally got up and grabbed Shippo and bumped him on the head once. Shippo started crying and Kagome said "sit". Inuyasha's necklace glowed pink before he was sent flying into the floor again. Shippo laughed and clapped his hands. Sesshomaru sighed. He hoped if he ever had a kid, it would be that energetic. Inuyasha looked up as much as possible to Sesshomaru. Inuyasha could see the emotion Sesshomaru held in his eyes. It looked like happiness? Sesshomaru? That Sesshomaru, also know as the Ice Lord? Inuyasha flushed the thought from his mind. His eyes must have had something in them. As the spell weakened, Inuyasha stood up and walked out. Sesshomaru eyed him suspiciously and followed. Inuyasha came to the hall and started going up the steps. Sesshomaru continued to follow him, unknown to what was going on. As he reached the last step, he could hear Casa and Sango laughing. Inuyasha started heading to the master bedroom.
"Sango, can I come in?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah, sure, Inuyasha. We could use the company," Sango told him. Sesshomaru crouched low enough to not be seen but to be able to see inside the room. Casa sat on the bed, cross-legged, next to Sango, smiling. Smiling? She was crying two minutes ago, thought Sesshomaru. As soon as Inuyasha closed the door, Sesshomaru stood next to it. He could the conversation clearly.
"So did Kagome punish Miroku for touching her?" Sango asked.
"Yeah, and me too for whacking Miroku as well," Inuyasha told her.
"Why is he so lecherous?" Casa asked.
Sango laughed before answering, "he says it's because of the wind tunnel in his right hand."
"He once said it was possessed. Liar," Inuyasha laughed. Casa joined him as they had a nice conversation on what had been happening.
"We recently ran into a wolf demon, Kouga. He once again told Kagome he loved her, then ran off to his tribe," Sango said, looking over at Inuyasha.
"He knows he does it just to get me mad. He knows I love Kagome and continues to tease me," Inuyasha whined.
Casa laughed before remarking, "is he a lord or leader of a place?"
"Yes, he's the leader of the wolf pack or the Northern Lands," Sango answered.
"Well, he'll be at the wedding, then," Casa stated. Sesshomaru slightly got scared and had the urge to burst in there and wring Casa's neck for telling.
"Oh, yeah. You told me. Some leader is getting married and invited you and Sesshomaru. Isn't that correct?" Asked Sango.
"Yeah, that's correct. I don't think he's going to be taking me once I tell him," Casa said.
Sesshomaru could hear Inuyasha coo her and rub her back. "He most likely will. He's a forgiving person, no matter what. He "claims" he hates my guts, though he never kills me. Though, he has gotten pretty close," Inuyasha remarked.
"You think he'll forgive me? I really don't think so..." Casa said trailing off.
"Just tell him the truth, ok?" Inuyasha told her.
The room was silent, and Sesshomaru leaned in harder into the door to hear anything. Then someone sneaked up behind him.
"What are you doing?" Kagome asked.
"Huh? Who me? I'm just, umm..." Sesshomaru stammered. The door opened up behind him as he turned to Kagome. Casa stood there along with Inuyasha and Sango.
"Do you think he heard it all?" Casa asked Inuyasha.
"Well, since I've been up, I could smell him right outside," Inuyasha stated.
"This would be a great time to tell him, ok?" Sango said, hugging Casa. "Good luck."
"Thanks, I'll need it. Bye," Casa said to Inuyasha and Sango that passed Sesshomaru. They smiled at him and Inuyasha pulled Kagome with them down to the dining room.
"Sesshomaru, please come inside," Casa said, sitting on the bed. He entered, closed the door, and then sat down next to Casa.
"What do you want to tell me?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Well, I know why Naraku was here and why he considers me his possession," Casa told him.
"Well, why then?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Well, a while ago, I was looking for you and happened to come across his barrier and castle. His reincarnation pulled me to him and he made a deal with me. I would get a piece of the jewel shard for my life. I refused and he put a strong spell on me that I couldn't even break. As soon as I fell in love with a person, he would show up and kill him. It seems the spell has been broken tonight because he didn't kill you. But in case I am wrong, Naraku will most likely try to kill you as long as I love you," Casa explained. Sesshomaru stayed calm though his head was buzzing. She loved him? When did it start? Did it end when he got mad at her tonight? He hoped not.
"Sesshomaru are you listening?" Casa asked.
"If you love me, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Umm... I was hoping you missed that part," Casa joked.
"Do you?" Sesshomaru said, grabbing her arm lightly but enough to get her attention.
"Sesshomaru, please don't make me tell you," she begged.
"I'll tell you what happened last time I went to a wedding if you tell me the truth if you love me or not," Sesshomaru told her.
"Umm... ok, I guess," Casa agreed. "You have to go first."
"Fine, I guess. It started when we got there, every demon brought a mate but me. They mocked me continuously. I eventually took enough when they talked about my mother, and attacked one of them. Unfortunately, they had the power to kick me out of the ranking, and planned to do so. My elders helped me keep my position, but next time I went to a wedding, I need to bring a mate or intended one," he told her.
"Then why are you inviting me then? I'm not an intended mate or your real one," Casa asked.
"Are you sure about that?" Sesshomaru asked. Casa gasped, and looked away as she blushed. "Now tell me the truth. Do you love me?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Um..." Casa stammered.
"Look at me when you're telling me the truth. I wouldn't know if you are unless I look into your eyes," Sesshomaru informed her. He turned her head to look at him and tilted it slightly up to look at him in the eyes.
"Umm... I... guess..." Casa said, averting her eyes.
"Look at me," Sesshomaru told her.
She looked at him and said quietly, "I love you..."
"I thought so," Sesshomaru joked, kissing her. Casa sighed, accepting the kiss. She felt Sesshomaru's arm wrap around her waist while the other one cupped her cheek. They separated when Kagome gasped. Sesshomaru growled and looked at Kagome. She sighed and skipped off like a grownup Rin. Sesshomaru shrugged and started the kiss up again. Casa allowed him to slip his tongue in and twirl it around with hers. She sighed. If this was love, she would want to do it everyday. Next thing she knew, it was morning, the sun pouring into the room. She was awaking on Sesshomaru's chest. He wasn't up yet, sleeping soundly. His arms were protectively around her so she couldn't move away. She sighed again and listened to his heartbeat. Then she remembered that they would be going to the wedding that night. She smiled and heard Sesshomaru moan as he too awoke.
"Morning. How did you sleep?" Casa asked.
"Mmm, good," Sesshomaru told her.
"Good. We'll be going to the wedding tonight, remember?" She told Sesshomaru.
"Oh yeah. We need to practise still, ok? I need to send a message. Allow me, ok?" Sesshomaru asked. She nodded and he left to go get a quill, inkbottle, and paper. Casa took this chance to get changed into a new kimono. She got a dark purple one that was plain. She brushed her hair and pulled it up in a ponytail. She sighed and went downstairs. She could hear some noises in the dining room and decided to check how their guests were. As she entered, everyone started to congratulate her. She looked puzzled as Kagome was cheering and Sango was smiling proudly at her. Inuyasha was shocked beyond belief and Miroku had his hands around hers. Shippo was on her shoulder congratulating her. Kagome finally explained as they sat down at the chairs.
"After I saw you two together, I came here and told them all. Inuyasha informed us that you were coming down and getting closer, we got ready to congratulate you two. So when is the wedding?" Kagome asked.
"Huh? Wedding?" Casa asked. She was still slightly puzzled because a lot of things were still going through her head. There was tons of noise going all around her that was puzzling her even more.
"I need to get back upstairs. Excuse me," Casa said as she pulled her hands from Miroku and put Shippo on the table. She went back upstairs where Sesshomaru was, slightly worried. She showed up out of breath and tired. She ran up the stairs, trying to get away from the group downstairs as quickly as possible.
Sesshomaru turned to her and sighed. She was alright. He had returned from sending the message out and came to an empty room. He searched for a recent scent from Casa, but his room had the lingering scent of Naraku in their room. He just couldn't get a positive scent until he smelt and heard her behind him.
"Where did you go?" He asked her.
"I went to see what all the noise was downstairs. Inuyasha and his friends have found out about us. They're already asking when the wedding happens," gasped Casa.
"That priestess and her big mouth!" Sesshomaru sighed. "Looks like you've already gotten dressed. I want something more formal. Can you try while I go down to answer the door?" Sesshomaru asked, exiting the room. Casa nodded and he left. She went to the closet again and found a fancy kimono but thought it was good for the wedding that was happening that night. She continued to look and found a black and red kimono that looked great. She put it on, and let her hair loose. She put a red and black pin in her hair and went downstairs. A wolf demon stood in doorway. As she descended, he looked up at her. His blue eyes connected with hers as she placed herself next to Sesshomaru.
"Casa, this is Kouga. Kouga, this is my... friend Casa," Sesshomaru introduced.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Kouga said, grabbing Casa's hands to place between his own.
"Kouga, is that you?" Kagome yelled from the dining room.
"Kagome, it's not what you think!" Kouga yelled, dropping Casa's hands. Casa was very confused. She wasn't the only one; Sesshomaru was as well. Kouga's sudden change in emotion was odd, even for him.
"Kouga, what are you doing here?" Kagome asked.
"Lord Sesshomaru invited me," he answered.
"My brother invited you? Yeah, right," Inuyasha groaned, rolling his eyes. Sesshomaru glared at Inuyasha, secretly telling him he did.
"I am in need of his help," Sesshomaru advised Inuyasha.
"Oh, that's lovely. Will he be staying over?" Casa asked.
"Depends on what he would like," Sesshomaru answered.
"Sure, I'll stay," Kouga told Sesshomaru, "just as long as I have my own room."
"I'll be sure to have it made by the time we come back," Sesshomaru told him smoothly.
"Come back? From where?" Kouga asked, arching an eyebrow.
"The wedding. You were invited, correct?" Casa asked.
"Yes, but I'm not going. I have no woman..." Kouga said, but averted his attention to Kagome and smiled sweetly.
"What?" Kagome asked.
"Hell no! You are not taking Kagome out!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Mutt face, shut up. It's her decision, not yours," Kouga yelled.
"My decision for what?" Kagome asked turning to Sango.
"He wants to take you as his guest to the wedding," Sango told her.
"Oh, really? That would be great! I love weddings!" Kagome cheered.
"Good, so it's settled. Anyways, Sesshomaru, why did you bring me here?" Kouga asked.
"I need Casa to practise being around demons today and the manners she'll have to use tonight. We have gotten most of it done, but we are in need of demons so she gets accustomed to it. Will you help?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Yeah, sure, if Kagome joins. She too has to get used to demons without purifying their ass or being rude," Kouga said, pulling Kagome beside him. He heard a low growl from Inuyasha, but ignored it.
"Kouga, I'm never rude, but the rules could be taught and the manner I should be in," Kagome told him. Kouga nodded and Sesshomaru led them to the dining room. Miroku quickly hurried to clean it up and Sango went to the kitchen to make tea. Before Casa or Sesshomaru entered, Sesshomaru pulled Casa to the wall and kissed her passionately.
"Mmm, Sesshomaru what was that for?" Casa whispered.
"I won't be able to kiss you all day and night, so I might as well get it done and over with, and get as much as I can," Sesshomaru told her, smiled with mischief, and kissed her again. Casa heard footsteps and pushed Sesshomaru off. Stepping aside, she saw Kouga step out of the room and sigh. Seeing Casa, he jumped slightly and smiled wide.
"What are you doing here, girl?" Kouga asked, reaching out to her waist. Sesshomaru growled loudly and Kouga turned suddenly to him.
"Don't touch her, ever. I'll kick you flea-infested ass out of here quickly then you can yelp," Sesshomaru threatened.
"Oh, protective are we?" Kouga teased. Sesshomaru stood tall and took Casa by the wrist into the dining room.
"Thanks a lot," Casa smiled but saw Sesshomaru was wearing his cold expression, she stopped smiling and looked ahead. The room was spotless and the tea was already made. Sesshomaru pulled a seat out for her and allowed her to sit down before pushing it in. He sat down in his chair and awaiting until Kouga and Kagome were seated. He saw Casa was looking down at her plate, but Kagome was beaming while looking at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru turned to Kouga and growled.
"Teach your woman the rules. I will not be considerate to tell her tonight," Sesshomaru growled.
"Kagome, keep your head down at all times during the meals. Do not talk unless spoken to and do not engaged yourself in a conversation. Be polite and eat with the knife and fork provided for you," Kouga told her. She nodded an averted her attention to the plate. Kouga and Sesshomaru started up a worthless conversation. At random times, Sesshomaru referred to Casa and she only nodded. She was polite and when Sango came in with some food, she munched softly while Kagome munched slightly loud. The meal was quiet and Kagome didn't like it. She continuously had to resist the urge to start a conversation, but it was too quiet. She cleared her throat quietly and Kouga turned to her.
"Sesshomaru, I really do not like this silence. Kagome and I believe Casa doesn't either. May we go to the ballroom?" Kouga asked. Sesshomaru nodded and took Casa's hand. She followed him to the ballroom, Kagome and Kouga closely behind. She didn't like them being so close and moved closer to Sesshomaru. He quietly grunted and turned to her. They started to dance to a slow tune Sango played with Miroku. They were smiling widely at Casa and Sesshomaru but kept their tune smooth. Kagome and Kouga were having some difficulty for they were just standing around quietly. Sesshomaru shook his head and looked down at Casa. She had her head buried in his chest as they danced. She never once glanced up and he felt sorry for her. The tune ended eventually and Sesshomaru led Casa to the side. Her head was still down and he moved it to face her.
"Casa, dear, what's the matter?" Sesshomaru asked quietly.
"Nothing, Sesshomaru," Casa told him. He shook his head.
"I know something's the matter. You're too quiet," Sesshomaru told her.
"It's just that the women seem to be the slaves to men. We can't look up, we can't talk, though the men can do what they want. It's just..." Casa said but stuttered.
"Not fair, I know. But I didn't make the rules. Just follow them and you can boss me around when we get home, alright?" He asked, cracking a smirk. She smiled and took his hand he had out. They looked over at Kagome and Kouga. They didn't look like they were having as much fun as Sesshomaru and Casa.
"I wanted to dance! Don't you know how to dance?" Kagome yelled.
"Yeah, of course I do! You just don't know how to dance. I'll show you," Kouga said taking Kagome's hand. She pulled it away quickly.
"I won't do things your way anymore. I quit! I'm leaving!" Kagome yelled and stomped out of the room. Sango and Miroku looked worried and slightly scared. If Kagome was out looking for Inuyasha, there would be lots of thuds in the near future. Casa sighed and looked at Sesshomaru. Looked like they weren't joining them tonight.
Casa went searching through her closet for the robe she earlier found. She searched and searched but couldn't find it anywhere. Sesshomaru entered after having a conversation with Kagome and Kouga. They were coming now, under protest. Sesshomaru smiled as he entered. The scents of discomfort and worry were all over Casa. He knew what she was looking for, but she wouldn't get it tonight.
"Casa dear, what's the matter?" Sesshomaru asked.
"I can't find the robe I was planning on wearing tonight. Have you seen it?" Casa asked, exiting the closet. The huge smile on Sesshomaru's face answered it completely.
"I've asked Kagome and Sango to help you dress. They will choose your robe, hair accessories and everything else for tonight. I want you to look perfect," Sesshomaru told her. Kissing her on her cheek, he left. She could hear him speaking with someone, then Kagome and Sango entered, smiling widely.
"Sesshomaru wants us to make you look perfect? We'll do better then that!" Kagome promised, going through her bag. This would be great!
Meanwhile, Casa had her own plans for Sesshomaru. She told Inuyasha and Miroku to help Sesshomaru get ready. She wanted him perfect as well. Inuyasha entered the room Sesshomaru was occupying and brought a black outfit as well. Miroku was smiling widely.
"Lord Sesshomaru, we've come to help you," Inuyasha called behind a door. Sesshomaru opened the door shirtless, halfway through changing. He had just stripped his shirt and went searching through his closet. He growled as he looking down at his brother.
"Why would I need your help? I can dress myself," Sesshomaru growled.
"Casa has told us to dress you, or else," Miroku said, complying the exact words of Casa.
"Fine, whatever. Her wishes are mine," Sesshomaru complied, seating himself on the bed.
"This will be great! Casa won't believe her eyes!" Inuyasha promised, pulling the outfit out.
Half an hour passed and Casa was finished. Looking in the mirror Kagome supplied, she gasped. The woman that looked back at her didn't look familiar. The hair flowing down her back, the shiny pin in her hair, the red lipstick, and the nail polish wasn't what Casa normally wore. Kagome allowed her to use the make-up for this special occasion, along with herself. Kagome was changing as Casa admired herself in the mirror. The long, red dress Kagome supplied flowed nicely to her ankles. The red footwear Sango supplied was a great match. Kagome finished her hair and turned to Casa. The dress was a great fit for Casa. Her pale skin radiated from the dress. It was backless, so Sesshomaru most likely would have to share his shirt with her by the end of the night, or she would get sick. Mentally slapping herself in the head for forgetting the jacket that went with it, Kagome tapped Casa on the shoulder, jerking her back to reality. They needed to get back downstairs to get there on time. Casa agreed and went downstairs to meet up with Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru was dressed as well. The boys were pulling his hair into a ponytail and fixing his outfit. Inuyasha sprayed some cologne on him from Kagome's time. Sesshomaru coughed slightly, growled and then smirked at how good he smelt. Inuyasha and Miroku smiled at each other and told Sesshomaru it was time to go downstairs. He met up with Kouga and they walked together to the front door. When they arrived, the girls started walking down the steps. Sesshomaru was blown away by how Casa looked. She looked exquisite and better than ever. She held her head low and Kagome urged her to show Sesshomaru her face. She shook her head no, and continued walking down the steps. Kagome met up with Kouga and he took her hand only. Sesshomaru told them to head out and he would meet them at the place. Kouga nodded, swept Kagome in his arms, then sped off. Inuyasha grumbled quietly before going into the dining room. Casa finally looked up at Sesshomaru and he gasped. She was beyond beautiful and she was his love. Every demon in that room would be so jealous. He smiled and she sniffed.
The smell that filled her senses was overpowering. He smelt like a forest after rain. She smiled at him, and they headed to the place of the wedding. Sesshomaru didn't sweep her off her feet but flew there. Placing her on his cloud he went quickly there. He saw a cyclone below and guessed it was Kouga. Sesshomaru finally realized Casa had a death grip his arm. He tried to weaken her grip but it didn't work. She was extremely afraid of heights so flying wasn't good. She nervously smiled up at him, slightly quivering. He wrapped his arm around her, and she loosened her grip and moved it to his waist. She relaxed against his chest and watched the scenery around her. The moonlight set a nice scene. She saw a castle ahead and saw Sesshomaru descend to the ground. Kouga showed up, Kagome forcing herself from his arms and fixing her dress. She hesitated to take his arm outstretched for her, but eventually did. Sesshomaru kept his arm around Casa's waist as they entered.
The ballroom was noisy until Sesshomaru entered. The entire room turned to whispers as demons started staring, pointing and whispering at Sesshomaru and Casa. Casa kept her head low but still knew what was going on. Sesshomaru took his place at the left side of the room with Casa. Everyone was staring at him and Casa, even the females. He whispered to Casa that she could look up, so she slightly looked up at all the stares. The females were all in one corner, whispering and staring at her. She looked up at Sesshomaru, who looked coldly at the demons in the room. Someone finally said something after a few minutes of silence.
"When dinner? Doesn't anyone realize some people are hungry?" Kouga joked. Some glared at him for his ignorance and he shut up. People stopped staring, though the odd demon continued to stare. Sesshomaru shrugged it off and turned to Casa. He was about to start a conversation with her until someone joined them.
"Nice woman you have there, Sesshomaru. Pick her up off the path along the way here?" A snake demon asked, walking up behind Casa. She jumped and went closer to Sesshomaru.
"Zuka, nice seeing you here," Sesshomaru glared.
"Glad you remembered me," Zuka responded. He had two demons behind him that snickered. One was a fox demon, the other a bull demon.
"What are you doing here? Do you need another lesson taught?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Oh, well, I'm shocked you're still in power after your little incident last time you joined us. I'm shocked you even showed your face here," Zuka crackled.
"I'm not a coward," Sesshomaru told him. Casa suspected he must have been one of the guys that intimidated Sesshomaru last wedding he attended. She looked around the room and everyone was staring again.
"Nice woman you have here," Zuka said, indicating Casa.
"Yeah, she is. For your information, she's going home with me tonight," Sesshomaru smoothly said, remember the way Zuka was. He tended to take women men brought in that weren't mated and take them home with him.
"Well, let the woman choose. She doesn't have to go home with you tonight. Let her chooses by the end of the night, and that will be her decision," Zuka dealt, holding his hand out to for Sesshomaru to take for an agreement.
"No. I do not deal for women. It's pathetic, just like you," Sesshomaru told him. The crowd started whispering about how idiotic Sesshomaru was insulting a man in such power.
"Sesshomaru, let's go somewhere else," Casa advised.
"You have such a nice voice. Maybe you can please me once you get to my place with that voice of yours," Zuka said, taking Casa's arm. Sesshomaru growled loudly and everyone gasped.
Casa smiled sweetly before removing her arm from Zuka's grasp. "That won't be happening, sorry," Casa told him. She turned to Sesshomaru and forced him away. He growled at her but she was persistent. She got him to another area before criticizing him on his stupid behaviour.
"Remember the reason you're here? Ignore him, no matter what he says, ok?" Casa asked, forcing Sesshomaru to look at her. He finally did and saw her pleading.
"Fine, I will. But if he bugs you anymore, I must react," Sesshomaru told her.
"I can handle myself. I won't be rational, I promise," Casa told him. He didn't agree, so she made a deal. He could keep an eye on her but he could only interfere when she looked like she was in real trouble and he wasn't leaving her alone. She smiled, kissed him on the cheek, then left to meet some new people.
