"How was it Tsuki? Tell me," Kari was sitting on Tsuki's bed reading.
"Wonderful, magical, and I get to be at his side tomorrow," said Tsuki collapsing on the bed.
"Tell me about it tomorrow. You seem famished," said Kari turning out the lights.
When Tsuki woke up she saw roses everywhere.
"Lady Tsuki, I have made you a beautiful kimono. It's pants not a dress. Oh yeh, Shinny said to meet him at breakfast," said Kari knowingly.
"Thank you Kari. Now because of Shinny we have a mess," Tsuki stated starting to pick up the roses.
"Don't worry, I'll clean up. BUT you owe me. I want all the details," said Kari wagging a finger.
"Of course, mama. You'll never not get the details. Well I'm off," Tsuki walked out dressed in the gorgeous kimono.
When she entered the dining hall she was greeted with a kiss.
"What do you think Sesshoumaru's face is going to be like when he sees you?" Shin teased.
"Oh.. I don't know. Hold me close or you might forget me," Tsuki said seductively sliding her hand down Shin's chest.
"Don't you worry you're going nowhere," Shin pushed himself to Tsuki, holding her tight.
Tsuki blushed like crazy. He was so close. She felt his hands exploring her back. She felt his every breath. She decided to tease. She stepped back a little. She started to trace his muscular chest with her finger. He felt her undo his shirt. A shiver of arousal went up his spine. She loved having this power. His hands moved toward her. She smiled and walked to her seat. He wanted her but knew today wasn't the day.
They had breakfast then he took her to his study. He had to teach her quickly. She learned how to sit, eat, talk, and all about traditional things. When Shin was satisfied, Tsuki stood and went to the door.
"It's time for my training, Mi Lord," she said bowing.
Kari sat, waiting for Tsuki in the hall. Tsuki told her everything while she changed into her training clothes and went to the arena.
"So you have chosen to continue training," Shinta said smugly.
"Of course, Shinta. Teach and I'm willing to learn," said Tsuki sitting lady like in front of Shinta.
"You have been reading and learning. Your posture and the way you compose your self has change. I will teach you on one condition. You never quit learning," Shinta said holding out his hand.
"I will do as you say," Tsuki said emotionlessly taking his hand.
"To day you will work on close combat," Shinta said tying their hands together. "Help me tie our let feet together."
She obeyed. She put all her weapons to the side. They both got into fighting stance. She moved first hitting Shinta in the side. He retorted by aiming for her back. She swung her left leg around causing them both to fall. She landed on top of him. She held his hand pinning all his possibilities to the ground.
"Now how are you going to win if we're stuck in a tie," Shinta said smirking.
"Tie are we? You are deathly mistaken," Tsuki smiled.
She smiled a calm smile. Next thing Shinta knows he was surrounded by burning ice. It didn't hurt. The ice licked at the ropes. They broke. She stood and covered the trainer in hard dirt. Then covered him in moving water with wind, ice, and fire swirling in it. Shinta was horrified. He thought he was going to die. Then it all disappeared.
"Is my trainer pleased? Or are you still going to treat me like a weak female human?" inquired Tsuki.
"I will train you as if you are to become the Lord of all Japan," Shinta replied.
"I thank you, Sense," said Tsuki bowing.
Shinta looked at his new pupil in surprise. He bowed back feeling like he was going to have the best warrior study under him now. Tsuki stood and walked to her room.
"Tsuki, your so tactful," commented Kari.
"You think so? Lets see how Shinzy likes my attention," Tsuki smirked.
"You are so crazy. I'm glad to be your servant," said Kari.
"Servant? You, my dear, are my mama. Not my servant," Tsuki said warmly.
"Thank you, Baby," Kari opened the door.
"So what do I ware to the meeting?" Tsuki asked looking in her closet.
"I think you'll look fabulous in the rare black silk. It's tight so there will be no mistaking you for a cross dresser," Kari teased.
"That's not cool. You are going to have to wear a matching outfit. That's what the traditional way. For the mother to wear the some clothing," Tsuki said pulling out a matching suit.
"If you paid any attention, you'd know that applies only to birth mothers," Kari said sadly.
"That's going to change," was how Tsuki replied.
"No, lets try that some other time. Beside this meeting is for Lords and Generals only," Kari, said brushing Tsuki's hair.
After Tsuki was dressed and her hair was put up she walked to Shin's room. Kari went to the kitchen to help out. Tsuki walked in without knocking. She was met by a shirtless Shin.
"Gomen, mi hansom Lord," Tsuki said blushing.
Shin just smiled and finished dressing. He pulled Tsuki into a kiss.
"Are you ready?" he asked her.
"Of course. It is to start in a few minuets. We better hurry," Tsuki said walking out the door.
Shin walked after her. When they were half way down the hall Tsuki slowed to walk slightly behind Shin to show respect. They sat at the head of the table. Shin's seat was highest, followed by Tsuki's. Then the other lord's seats, and the lowest was their general's. Tsuki put her head down so non would know she was a girl. The lords and generals all entered. They didn't even notice Tsuki.
"Welcome, my fellow lords and generals. I have an announcement. As you all know my general was taken in the war against the panther demon tribes. Well, I have a new general. May I introduce my general, General Tsuki," Shin said as every one's faces showed shock, excluding the ever-icy western lord.
Tsuki stood, and bowed out of respect as the men eyed her curiously. They noticed for the first time, how beautiful and tight her armor was.
"How do you know this.. your general, is right for this position?" asked one of the lords.
"As, I'm sure, you remember one of my old fighters, Shinta, challenged my general to a dual and fail miserably. Servant bring Shinta hear," Shin said coolly.
The servant left and reappeared moments later with a smug Shinta.
"Mi Lord," acknowledged Shinta.
"Is it not true that General Tsuki has defeated you in combat?" Shin said coldly.
"Yes, mi lord, that is correct," Shinta said.
Tsuki smiled at Shinta. Every one was mesmerized by her smile.
"I hope you all are impressed by my new strategy," Tsuki's silk voice pierced their thoughts.
"Now, lets see what Tsuki's plan for this lizard demons battle," an old demon said.
Tsuki spent the next four hours explaining her plans. Every one was impressed greatly.
"That might work," they mumbled.
"I know it will work. I've seen all the possible circumstances. The only thing is the right rank. Watch the water demons. They're to close for comfort," Tsuki said sitting back.
"It is getting late. We should all be leaving before it gets to dark," the northern demon lord said.
