Jiro didn't seem surprised at all that I had said yes. He had probably told Sesshoumaru exactly what it would take to get me. I felt offended, but only jokingly; I knew Jiro simply wanted the best for the twins and me.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, is it going to be possible for me to visit here every once in a while?" I asked as they walked down the hall towards Jiro and the twins. I figured he was explaining the situation since he already assumed I would say yes. They looked very excited and jumpy, although that was usual for them.

"I don't see why not." He replied with a slight shrug. "We'll be leaving tonight." He informed me and I was slightly surprised. I thought I would have a couple of days to get ready and pack and say my goodbyes.

I just nodded. "As you wish."

"Asami, is it true? Are we leaving?" Ryoka seemed a little down but still curious enough to get excited about the sudden news.

"Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama has made an excellent offer. I know I told you girls that I didn't think a day would come when someone would make such a wonderful offer but you would be amazed at the things he's presented." I spoke with a smile, bending down slightly to be at eye level with them.

"Really?" Mai asked. "Do we get two beds now? So you can have one too?" She asked with a slight tilt of her head.

I laughed quietly. "I will have my own big room. You girls will share a large room and you will have a much bigger bed with lots of pretty kimonos to wear." I explained, almost feeling like I was on the brink of tears. I really had never thought that I would receive such a proposition.

"Don't get too emotional Asami," Jiro teased playfully and reached to pull me to a standing position again. He gave me a tight hug and hugged each of the girls. "You all should head back and pack your stuff so you do not arrive at Lord Sesshoumaru's land too late in the evening." Jiro advised and smiled once more at me, bowing his head. "Good luck." He whispered and then turned, walking down the hall.

"I'll race you outside!" Ryoka grinned at Mai and they both took off like rockets, running through the open doors and then freezing outside. "Oh my gosh! It's a…. a two headed dragon!" She exclaimed, eyes wide.

Sesshoumaru and I walked outside and stood behind them. I was just as surprised as the two girls, never having seen a dragon, let alone a two headed one. Mai slowly stepped towards it, reaching to touch one of the legs.

"Back up you filthy girl!" A green imp scolded, waving his staff towards her.

"Jaken, leave them be. They are coming with us." Sesshoumaru spoke evenly and walked to climb into the carriage that was fastened on top of the dragon. He reached to help pull me inside and then I helped each of my sisters inside.

I sat on the same bench as Sesshoumaru and Mia, Ryoka, and the imp shared the other bench. The twins kept staring outside and giggled as the dragon took flight.

"Careful girls, I don't want you to fall out," I said softly, already being able to see our home for so many years. I felt so many mixed feelings about leaving; fear, excitement, curiosity, and nervousness.

Soon the dragon went down to the ground right in front of the gate and Sesshoumaru got out, kindly helping me afterwards. I smiled and thanked him, watching as the twins hopped out and raced each other to their room upstairs.

"Jaken, wait here with Ah&Un," Sesshoumaru instructed.

"Yes milord!" He squeaked loudly and I led him up to the front door.

"Do your sisters know how to behave properly?" He inquired seriously, probably not wanting them running around all over his castle breaking things.

I chuckled and nodded slightly. "Yes, they can be good if I tell them to," I replied and when I entered I saw all of the other girls. They seemed to freeze and their eyes were glued to Sesshoumaru.

He seemed indifferent and was simply looking around the place. "Lord Sesshoumaru! It's so very lovely to meet you," Rika said in a sultry voice, coming up to him and bowing.

Sesshoumaru glared at her and looked to me. "Where is your room?" He asked and I nodded, motioning to the stairs past Rika. We moved around her and I heard Chie and a few of the other girls laughing and teasing Rika.

When we got to the room I noticed two suitcases open on the bed and one larger one closed and waiting to be packed. I walked over to it and smiled, a note from Jiro resting inside. 'I thought you would need something to pack your things. Goodbye.'

The girls were throwing their things in their own single suitcase rapidly and before I could blink they were running with it downstairs. They probably wanted plenty of time to say goodbye to the other girls.

I kept the note inside as I began to pack kimonos and personal items inside. Once I was finished with everything the suitcase was barely even full. I sighed and closed it.

I sat down on my bed and looked around the room, smiling slightly up at Sesshoumaru. "Are you feeling well?" He asked, coming closer.

"Yes, I'm feeling fine. It's just; I have lived here for so long. It's scary to be leaving home since I never thought I would." I explained with a slight shrug and got up, picking up the suitcase.

He reached to take the suitcase and left the room, stopping right outside the doorway and glancing back. "Are you ready?" He asked quietly.

"Yes, I believe so," I responded and followed him down the stairs. It seemed even more girls were gathered now and they gasped slightly at the sight of Sesshoumaru.

I laughed but Sesshoumaru remained indifferent to their squeals of joy and excitement. "Um, may I say goodbye and meet you outside Lord Sesshoumaru?" I requested and he nodded, leaving the building.

"No way, Asami-san! You're going to be living with Lord Sesshoumaru now? How in the hell did that happen and where is my invitation?" One of the girls joked, shaking her head.

"He gave me an offer I could not refuse. I can't believe it myself," I whispered and laughed. I gave hugs and promised I would come back and visit whenever I was able to.

"Have lots and lots of sex with him, for us!" Another girl called and I blushed furiously, shaking my head at them.

I left my home and waved slightly, meeting up with Sesshoumaru. Jaken, the disgusting green imp, was loading all of the suitcases on the dragon securely. Mai and Ryoka were petting the two heads nervously.

"What are you laughing about?" Sesshoumaru wondered, probably curious at the mood swing.

"Oh, it's nothing, Sesshoumaru-sama. Some of the girls were being silly." I brushed it off and gained controlled my laughing. I offered him a charming smile that seemed to bring hunger to his eyes and then climbed into the carriage, waiting for everyone else to get in and settled for the ride.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, my name is Ryoka and I'm Mai's older sister," Ryoka said and held out her hand. Sesshoumaru looked at her as if he was questioning her sanity.

"Put your hand down sweetheart and get some rest," I whispered softly and then I turned to Sesshoumaru. "How long will the ride there be?"

"We are far from the Western Lands, so, a while," He informed me while looking out of the carriage and down at the vast lands passing by underneath them.

"Oh, I see. Alright then." I smiled and also looked outside. After a while the twins were sound asleep and the imp was too.

"Are you full dog youkai Asami-san?" Sesshoumaru asked after a few moments.

"Just Asami is fine Lord. Yes, full dog demon and fire sorceress," I replied and shifted slightly so I was facing him, crossing my legs slightly.

"I was wondering if you were a sorceress or not since there was always fire included in your performances," He commented softly.

"Yes, I mastered it when I was much younger, long before I was dancing. When I began to dance and perform I found ways to bring fire into it," I explained with a wide smile.

"I see. What other skills do you have?" He inquired, not letting our eyes meet as he continued to look out the side of the carriage.

"Um, well, let's see. I am familiar with giving massages, I am a talented artist, and I can also cook fairly well," I said thoughtfully. "I am knowledgeable in medicine and herbal remedies as well," I added on as an afterthought.

"How did you get to be so skilled?" He questioned, seeming impressed, but I couldn't be sure.

"Lord Jiro taught me many things and introduced me to different talent areas, having me focus on the skills that came more naturally to me." I shrugged slightly.

"You truly are exceptional," He complimented and grinned suddenly. "Are you a virgin?" He asked, gazing at me intently now.

I wasn't that surprised by the question. I had expected it to come up eventually. "No. I have had sex twice in my life," I responded, turning my head slightly. He didn't seem surprised. Maybe he had already asked Jiro and knew the answer but wanted to see if I would lie.

"Are you mated Lord Sesshoumaru?" I asked carefully.

"If I were mated I wouldn't have bought you or gone to your shows," He answered back somewhat sourly.

"Not necessarily," I replied with a short laugh. "Many men are mated and come to see me perform, and afterwards will offer me a life. Some even have their mates standing by them when they do this." I informed him and he shrugged.

"No, I am not mated," He answered finally.

"Are you promised to anyone?" I continued my own questioning.

He turned and glared slightly. "Is any of this relevant?"

"Definitely," I said with shock. "I am here to please you and make you happy. I need to know everything about you. Well, not everything of course, but most everything," I said with a gentle smile. "I know now personal questions or persistent questioning bothers you slightly."

"It doesn't bother me I just didn't see the relevance of it," He corrected, though he knew it was true. He hated when people questioned him of his personal life and found it not to be their business at all. I was right though about its relevance. I assumed he wanted me to know everything I needed to know to make sure he was pleased and happy. That would be my complete job.

"So?" I prompted.

"No, I am not promised to anyone."

"Do you have your eyes set on someone for mating?"

"No."

"How many Ladies have wanted to mate with you?"

"A lot."

"Too many women to count, eh?" I asked with a smirk.

"Perhaps," He replied, a hint of a grin on his face.

I paused and decided to save all the rest of the questions for later. I leaned my head against his shoulder lightly and closed my eyes.

"No other questions?" He asked, glancing down at me.

"Not at the moment. I am going to save the rest for later I think," I whispered softly and yawned.

He was quiet then, making sure to be still so I was comfortable. I fell asleep within ten minutes while Sesshoumaru looked down at her sleeping face continuously and glanced at the two girls on the other bench. He hoped they wouldn't make too much of a ruckus inside the castle. Jaken would have a hard time keeping up with them and Rin.

After a long time of sitting Ah&Un began the descent downwards towards his castle. It was much larger than Jiro's of course and had many different garden areas surrounding it. I woke on the descent and carefully shook the twins awake. They yawned and stretched slightly then looked outside eagerly, gasping.

"We're going to live here?!" Mai asked, looking stunned.

"Yes, we'll be living here now," I answered, laughing at their response to the extremity of the castle.

"Wow!" Ryoka exclaimed and fidgeted in her seat slightly.

When they landed the twins immediately jumped and ran around somewhat. "I can't believe it!" They said over and over.

"Just come and get your luggage girls and we'll go inside," I requested, pulling the luggage down from the dragon with the help of Sesshoumaru. He grabbed my personal suit case and led us inside silently.

"Come on girls, don't get lost."

"Yeah, that's not going to be hard at all," Mai said sarcastically, shaking her head in disbelief.

We all walked up and I trailed along in the back, taking everything in and smiling nonstop. This seemed like an absolute dream come true.

I sighed, getting ready, and we all entered the castle together.

There were numerous servants in the grand entrance hall and three soldiers, dressed in armor and everything.

"Welcome back, Lord Sesshoumaru. I have had everything prepared as you asked in your letter." One of the soldiers reported immediately.

"Good, Kenshin." Sesshoumaru nodded once, putting all the suitcases together and waving two of the servants closer.

"These are your sisters' personal servants, have them get set up in their room and then your personal servant, Kiku, will show you to my room." He instructed and I nodded, bowing at the same time before he turned and walked away.

Everyone left except for two adult women and one slightly younger one. The slightly younger one stepped up, seeming in charge despite her age. "My name is Kiku, it is lovely to meet you. I will be here for you to call upon whenever you need something. These two women are Yoko and Ume and will attend to your younger sisters at all times."

We Yukari sisters made our introductions and we all worked together with the servants to get the suitcases upstairs. On the second floor and down a long hall was the twins' room. It was huge with a balcony, one king sized bed, two armoires, and various books on a tall bookshelf that reached the ceiling.

"No way!" Mai was dumbstruck, along with Ryoka but then they transformed into their giggling selves and ran around the room and fell on the bed.

"Girls, you will behave for these two women and there will be no running around in the castle. Do not go anywhere without attendants. Do you understand me? I do not want you to ruin this glorious life by behaving badly." I lectured them sternly just this once and hoped it would be all the lecturing they would need.

They both came from the bed and bowed in front of me. "We will not behave badly, sister," They promised and I hoped they would keep their word.
