A/N: Sooo... from here, I believe, things get odd? Or odder than normal. I don't know anymore. Also, there's only talking in this one as you're not supposed to know who these two are at the moment if that wasn't already a given. Ehehe.

The Other Side

Chapter 37

Plot Thickens

"Hm, so from what Lord Raiyu has said, Lord Sesshomaru is newly bonded to a female. I suppose I could use that to my favor."

"And let's not forget that this female is hybrid of sorts."

"Ah, yes; that is a very important detail. I believe now would be an excellent time to attack the West."

"Shall I gather the troops?"

"Yes, but before you do that; I would like you, specifically, to kidnap the woman. Newly bonded bond mates can't be that far from the other in the first few months."

"Oh really? Hn, I would love to test my abilities to get to that woman."

"I am sure you do wonderfully."

"You think otherwise? I assure you, I have yet to fail."

"I do not think otherwise, my loyal servant. I merely was saying that you will do your job wonderfully."

"Nice save."

"Indeed. Now, Lord Raiyu does not know the name of the woman but he does know that his son has become used to her as well as, has been hanging around the West more so then need be."

"Lord Kenichi?"

"Yes."

"My, my, never thought I would live to hear the day that Lord Kenichi becomes used to a wench; let alone Lord Sesshomaru being bonded to said wench."

"It is indeed shocking. Fear not though, I do not believe for a moment that Lord Sesshomaru wants to be bonded to this woman and for that, we will simply be helping in taking her away from him."

"Has Lord Raiyu said anything else?"

"Hm, just to be careful. We honestly do not know what we are dealing with."

"It is just a stupid woman; how is that not knowing what we are dealing with?"

"Simple. Lord Kenichi was banned for one week a while back but came home to the castle to talk about the woman. He told his father that she has the ability to bring things back from the dead."

"Oh? That is useful."

"Pity, she cannot bring back dead humans or demons for that matter."

"That is not useful at all then."

"My thoughts exactly."

"Lord Kenichi did not say anything else then?"

"Nothing that would be of use to us, no. I would like to know how this woman came to be though."

"I have never heard of this woman."

"No, I do not think anyone has of yet but they will, when we get a hold of her that is."

"And how are we to use this woman?"

"How do you think? She is a woman; if anything, she has a job as a whore to pleasure us all."

"Yes, that would be one way to use her. And what makes you think that Lord Sesshomaru does not want her?"

"When was the last time that man even considered being bonded to anyone?"

"Never?"

"Exactly, so it is likely that he was forced into this. If anything, we would be doing him a favor."

"So, the plan is to just kidnap her and use her to whatever we see fit? There is nothing more?"

"Well, I suppose we could in theory bring her to Lord Raiyu and see what he wants to do with her but that would be thinking ahead into the plan. I, personally think that we should not show her to the lord whatsoever."

"Oh, so you want to hoard her to yourself? You do realize that I would be the one doing most of the work while you lay on your ass."

"That is besides the point, my lovely servant."

"I am your brother; stop calling me your servant. It's weird."

"But more fun."

"You are unbelievable."

"You love me."

"I cannot imagine why."

"Now then, when do you think we should put this plan into action?"

"Lord Kenichi likes to mutter to himself when he believes that no one is around."

"What does that have anything to do with this plan?"

"Easy; I was out and about and overheard him talking to himself."

"About what?"

"The woman seems to love the gardens or the outside in general. We will—I will, kidnap her when she is out and about. Hopefully, no one will be around her when I do so. I do like to cause panic."

"I did not realize that you walked around the castle as much as I do."

"Yes, well, what do you expect? There is next to nothing to do most of the time anyways in the castle."

"That is true. Lord Raiyu rarely calls on us anymore. I was most definitely surprised when we were summoned to do this task."

"Which makes me believe that we will eventually have to show the woman to our lord..."

"That would be a shame."

"A damn shame, indeed."

"I suppose you should get to traveling then? It will take a bit to get to the West."

"What, I cannot drag you with me?"

"Hell no. I would not travel with you if you were the last person in existence."

"You wound me, Jasper."

"You will get over it."

"I think not."

"Well, you should."

"Oh whatever. I will just go and charm the woman, maybe I will get use out of her before you do."

"One of these days, you will be found at the bottom of the lake."

"Ha, ha, very funny. Maybe it will be you instead, except I expect you to be found underneath my shoe when I crush you to death."

"You, Sebastian, are not funny."

"You love me."

"I do not."

"Sure, sure; of course you do not."

"One of these days!"

"See you later then."

"Yeah, whatever."
