Lady Ami approaches the castle and knocks on the large white doors. "Who goes there?" asked Jaken trying to sound brave but his question coming out as a whimper. "It is Lady Ami of the southern lands, her ward, and her wind neko." "Lady Ami, Lord Sesshomaru is patrolling his lands at the moment. He wanted me to tell you and your companions to wait in his study. Do you know they way?" "No I do not." "then I will have to take you there." Jaken says sounding a little annoyed and a bit frightened.
Jaken is terrified of me. I knew he was a whimpering little toad but I never thought that he would be this terrified upon meeting me for the first time. Thinks Lady Ami. "Well here is the study. Lord Sesshomaru will be back shortly." Jaken says. He runs off to look for Rin muttering something that sounds like that ningen better not throw any more stones. I don't need another lump on my head.
"Okaasan. Was that Jaken?" "yes. How did you know? I never told you." "You never told me who Jaken was but you told me that he was an annoying little toad and that green thing that was just in here was really annoying." Kizu says. "Kizu, while we are here please do not insult Lord Sesshoamru's servants even if they are annoying. Also, you must refrain from calling me Okaasan near Lord Sesshomaru." "Lady Ami-sama why am I not allowed to call you Okaasan?" Kizu asks sounding a bit hurt. "Kizu, you can call me Okaasan but promise that you will not call me Okaasan near Lord Sesshomaru or his servants. Okay?" "Yes Lady Ami-sama."
I wonder where Lord Sesshomaru is. He should be back by now. thinks Ami. He should know better than to keep someone waiting. I wonder what is keeping him. I grow tired of waiting here.
Lady Ami. I see that you have arrived." says Sesshomaru interrupting her thoughts. "I suppose you will be wanting to go to your room now?" "That would be nice." Lady Ami says.
"Koharu come here." "Yes Lord Sesshomaru-sama?" "Take the neko to the stables and Lady Ami's ward to his room. I wish to speak to Lady Ami alone." "Yes my lord." Koharu says as she leads Umaye to the stable that is next to Ah-Uhn's and takes Kizu to his room.
"What is it you wish to speak about Lord Sesshomaru?" "I wanted to let you know that if you harm Rin in any way you will face the consequences." "The same goes for Kizu. If he is harmed someone will die." Sesshomaru raises an eyebrow but decides to change the subject. "Where did you get those swords?" "They were created by totosai (sp?) why do you ask?" "No reason." Both of those swords have a strong aura. I wonder how strong their auras are when she weilds them. thinks Lord Sesshomaru. Lady Ami noticing that Lord Sesshomaru was staring at her swords so she continued to explain. "Their auras are powerful bacause I have mastered them and unlike your swords they were forged from my own fangs." "I see." "yes and if thats all I would like to go to my room now." "Very well. I'll call a servant to take you there."
"Maya, come here." "Yes my lord?" "Take lady Ami to her room. It is the fifth room in the Eastern section of the castle. You will be Lady Ami's personal servant from now on. You will do whatever she commands." "Yes My Lord. Lady Ami please follow me to your room." Says the moth demon.
It appears that Lady Ami has a soft spot for her ward. thinks Sessomaru. She is more like me than I thought. But still why the other Lords would want two emotionless people to live together is beyond me. Isn't it obvious? No. They want you two to mate. That will never happen. Like I said before these years will hold some interesting surprises. I wish you would go away. I am your inner demon you can't get rid of me. I have no time to sit here and talk to myself. I need to get back to these papers. Lord Sesshomaru thinks.
I wish I knew why I am being forced to live here. I must have done something horrible to get stuck here. At least your not stuck with Kouga or Inuyasha. That's true but what made the lords think I would want to stay here. Maybe the fact that you didn't outright refuse to mate him. If they think I am going to mate him they are wrong. If you really believe that then these two years will be a little interesting. Do you know something I don't? Maybe. You're my inner demon I know everything you know. Yes you do but somethings you choose to ignore. What's that supposed to mean? Oh nothing really. But these two years will be more surprising than you think. Ami had no more time to talk/argue with her inner demon because she really needed a bath. "Maya. Where are the hotsprings?" "Right this way my lady." At the hotsprings Lady Ami washed herself in soaps that smelled of roses and cherry blossoms. After the bath she put on a light Yukata, went back to her room and fell asleep.
I know this chapter was a little strange.It wasn't my best chapter. If you have any suggestioons please review and tell me. Thanks for reading!
