Quickly she fixed up a meat free venue for you to bring back to the dining area. "Are you okay now Momma?" Rin ran up to you. "I'm perfectly fine dear, just go back to your meal." She sat back down just as Goro came to apologize. "I'm so sorry Milady; I didn't mean to make you sick." You smiled politely at him. "It's fine Goro. I should have told Kamera to come and tell you while I was bathing." You stood and bowed slightly, "So I'm the one who should apologize." You stood up straight and saw his flustered expression. "T-t-there's no problem here ma'am." He turned swiftly on his heel and practically ran to the kitchen.
"Are you just going to stand there Miss Alira or are you going to eat?" Jakken snapped at you. "Oops, I guess I'm holding up dinner." You laughed nervously as you felt Jakken's glare bore into your head. You caught Sesshomaru looking at you with a mixed look of fascination and frustration. You decided to tease him a bit. "Is there some rice stuck to my face Master, or are you just being rude?" His eyes flared up in anger. You laughed and heard Jakken gasp. Rin leaned close to you. "Mommy what are you doing? Milord gets mad very easily and it's not pretty." She whispered to you. "I know little dear. That's why I did it." She stared at you open mouthed. "Rin, it's not polite to eat with your mouth open." You laughed lightly. 'If he thinks just because he's my "master" I am going to play nice, he is in for a surprise.' Finally the meal was finished after so long. 'Instead of waiting for the 'Lord' to leave, I'll leave first. That ought to show him.' You grabbed your plate and rose. "Thank you for the meal." With that you turned to the kitchen, leaving open mouths and glaring eyes behind you. You tried hard not to snicker as you handed the plate to the kitchen help and walked upstairs. It all let loose when you closed the bedroom doors. "My god, his face, his face and that expression! It was so worth it! And I thought this place would be boring!" you fell to the floor laughing. "I should do that more often." You rose from the floor and walked to the wardrobe. "Hmm, there are a lot of nice clothes here." You picked out an ivory night gown and took off your kimono. Just as you were about to slip on your kimono your doors slammed open. "You know master," you said this with venom. "It's rude not to knock before entering a ladies room. You should know better." You didn't even turn around to speak to him. Just as you turned around to catch a look at his face, his hands were around your neck. "You insolent wench! How dare you insult me so openly!?" His eyes were a deep crimson and his face started to contort into a snout. You looked away in disinterest. "Be careful Milord. If you lose control now and transform you may damage your precious castle." He snarled at you. "Shut up you filthy bitch!" He threw you against the wardrobe. You held in your shout of pain, ignoring the fact that your wound was on fire. You stood, trying to hold your ground. "If you think I'm going to stand by and let you treat me like a lowly slave you are oh so wrong Sesshomaru!" You growled at him. "I know about the other slave women Sesshomaru! I know how they all look so eerily similar to me! And I know that I was correct to assume that undoing what happened years ago is impossible! You are a cold hearted monster that cares for nothing and never will again you selfish creep!" He picked you up again but this time b your wound. "You deserve to die disgusting whore!" His poisonous claws began to seep into your wound. You couldn't hold back any longer, you let out a groan in pain. "That's so low Milord! Taking advantage of a woman in such a weak state!" you were out of breath and gasping. You knew he'd take the bait. He wouldn't miss the chance to call you a round' the clock weakling. "There's no better time to because there is no other time when you are any stronger than this!" He smirked and embedded his claws deeper. You bit your lip to hold back a scream of agony but you failed. His eyes became more intense as your pain became more noticeable to him. 'At this rate I'll faint again.' "Now you will think twice before openly insulting me whore!" there was a glint of pleasure in his eyes. With the little power you had left you concentrated on transmuting the poison within your body into harmless sugar water. While he tightened his grip a fine sweat broke out of your forehead from concentration. You felt the slight burn on your markings, warning you to stop or you'd endanger your life. Ignoring the burn you concentrated harder, forgetting about that fact that Sesshomaru was talking to you and that his claws were in your side. The burn finally subsided and your vision started going black. 'I did it, thank the gods!' "Oh, Sesshomaru there is something you should know." Your voice was weak but he heard it and let you go. "That vision I had wasn't normal obviously, but there was something else strange about it." He cocked an eyebrow. "My old mate was brought back to life by Naraku. And the other odd thing was that I was pregnant, and not by my previous master." Your eyes were obviously playing tricks on you because for a split second he looked shocked. In an instant the shock was replaced by his usual hard look. He turned heel and left. "I'll send someone in to care for your wound." Without another word he left you on the floor, welcoming the darkness that surrounded you.
