Sesshomaru arrived at the castle before the others. He had Olivia's belongs moved to his room and put her presents on the bed. He went to his office and began to prepare the party to welcome his mate to his kingdom.
Olivia told Rin and Jaken to go on ahead while she stretched her legs. In all actuality, she wanted to exercise her powers. She walked into a clearing and sat in her meditation pose. She put up a barrier like Sesshomaru showed her, and began to empty her head. She experimented trying to use her other emotions to summon her powers. She learned that her three strongest emotions were love anger and happiness. She summoned a cloud and sat down on it, letting it carry her to the castle.
Olivia reached the castle and landed on her balcony. She walked in the room and gasped. "Where are all my things!" She went and looked in the bathroom and looked in the bureau. Everything was gone. 'Where is everything?' She turned around to go find Sesshomaru when she heard a knock on her door.
"Who is it?" Olivia walked to the door and opened it. A tiger youkai stood outside of her door. Her long orange and black hair fell down her face, while her green eyes stared at her thoughtfully. "Oh, hi Kuroki, do you know where my stuff is?"
"Yes Olivia. Sesshomaru had us move your belongings to your new room."
"New room, where is that?"
"It's this way follow me." She followed her down the hall and into a large room with white walls and a blue carpet. There was a beautiful portrait of a female dog demon with log silvery hair and light blue eyes. She wore a White and pink kimono with small flowers on it. 'She looks so familiar. I can't put my finger on it though. Oh well.' Olivia looked at the large oak bed on the right side of the room. There were several packages placed neatly at the foot of the bed. A large oak bureau sat against the wall on the opposing side of the room.
A futon rested in front of the bed, magnificently carved with a battle scene like no other. A large dog demon stood leading a multitude of youkai to battle against a dragon. Every detail was perfected and it appeared as though someone had trapped them in wood before the battle was completed.
The blue curtains hung cheerfully above the balcony window. A table sat against a wall next to the door leading into the bathroom. The floor was white marble with a large heated pool in the center of it.
"Do you like your room?" She jumped at the sound of Sesshomaru's voice and glared at him.
"Don't sneak up on me like that. What are you trying to do, give me a heart attack?" She grabbed hear chest and pulled a small amount of energy away from her heart so it would slow down. "Yes, I love it!" She walked up to him and gave him a hug. He wrapped his arms around her to return her embrace. "Shomaru, how did you know I was pregnant?" She still had her face against his chest, but he heard her anyway.
"Your smell was mixed with mine. There was also another smell which smelled like both of us but different from either of us."
"Well that makes sense." She looked up at him and he studied her expression. Her brown eyes studied his face and her lips pouted slightly. Her face had lost some of its fat and grown more narrow. 'That won't last to long' he smiled to himself and released her.
"Did you open your presents yet?" She shook her head no and followed him out the door of the bathroom. He handed her a large parcel and she opened it.
"Oh my goodness!" She unfolded a beautiful blue kimono with red flowers and gold and black trim. "Sesshomaru, Thank you."
"Do not thank me. You needed a new outfit for the party and so you won't have to wear those revealing clothing." He smirked at his last statement while she rolled her eyes at him and pulled it on over her clothing.
'Wait a minute did he just say party? What party?' "What party? I didn't know we were having a party." She opened her eyes wide and stared at him.
"I must tell everyone about my beautiful new mate." He smiled at her as she blushed. One by one he handed her the other packages for her to open, each one containing a new outfit or an accessory for an outfit she already had. Each time he was rewarded with a hug and a smile.
"Go try them on." She blushed in embarrassment and lowered her head. "What's wrong Olivia?"
"I don't know how to put on a kimono." She turned her head, completely embarrassed. He nodded his head in understanding.
'I completely forgot about her coming from another time and place.' "Go in the bathroom and put it on, I'll fasten it for you." He watched her gather them all and walk into the bathroom.
Olivia pulled her clothing off and stood looking at herself in the mirror. 'I hadn't realized how much weight I have lost. My stomach is toned and my scars a fading faster than before." She pulled the first kimono on over her shoulders and put on her shoes. She stuck her head out of the door and asked Sesshomaru to send in Kuroki to help her get tie the kimono. "I don't want you to see me until I'm completely dressed and ready for the party." Sesshomaru rolled his eyes.
"Be ready in two hours." He walked out of the room and sent Kuroki in. Kuroki smiled at her and stuck out her tongue.
"Are you that nervous?"
"Of course I am. Sesshomaru is just now telling me about the party and that means that I'm going to be up in front of most of the Lords and Ladies of the tribe and I don't even know how to wear a kimono, I'm pretty sure someone's going to be able to tell I'm scared shitless and on top of all that, I'm a human.
Kuroki laughed at her explanation. "Olivia calm down. You are very powerful now and any youkai or hanyou could smell that and not just your fear. If someone does object they'll have to deal with you and milord. I don't think they want to do that. You're also beautiful and I think that blue looks great on you! Everyone is going to be talking about how beautiful you are." Kuroki smiled at her and gave her a hug.
"Thanks Kuroki. You always now what to just what to say to make me feel better. Now what are we going to do with my hair! It's gone puffy and I don't know what to do with it."
"Don't worry; I'll do something about it for you…"
