Puppy Love Side4-Note

Aurora, daughter of Inuyasha and Tara Tashio, walked into the portal from the future to Feudal Era. She walked with attitude of a sixteen year old who knew everything. Supposedly.

She currently walked down the path toward the Western Castle. Her home for the next week.

After fighting with her parents saying she wished she lived at the Western Castle, she wrote to her Aunt Lori and asked if she could watch Lori rule the western home. The auntie agreed.

The teenager thought Lori was pampered in every way.

Tara let her daughter go, knowing the lesson she was about to be taught.

Lori met the black-haired hanyou at the grand wooden double doors. A cup of cold frappe in her hand and a smile was what she greeted her niece with.

"Good morning Aurora."

"Morning Auntie. Can I ask why I'm here so early?"

The lady checked her gold watch "Dear it's only 7 am."

The teenager groaned "I know. It took me forever to get up."

The older maid, Viola, chuckled at the young woman "The lady has been up since 4 am my dear."

Aurora groaned and Lori laughed as she looked at Viola, "Viola dear make sure Coco is there when Sadi wakes up. She'll want momma as soon as she wakes."

Viola bowed "At once my lady."

The old woman disappeared.

Lori smiled and ushered her niece in "I'll show you to your room sweetie. We eat at noon on the dot for lunch and 6 for supper. When you are ready just find someone and they'll bring you to me."

Aurora blinked and they stood at her normal room that she stayed in when her family was here. The room stayed the same and Lori left her to unpack.

About an hour later Aurora found a maid named Olive and was escorted to the kitchen. The main kitchen was what Aurora normally saw but the door she went through made her think twice. The second kitchen had cooks and bakers lining up on both sides.

Aurora watched as Viola followed Lori who was talking to the staff.

"Tonight Sesshomaru wants duck. Lemon juice and baked thoroughly. Sides will be french bread, fresh, mashed potatoes, 3 casseroles, use your knowledge and surprise me. And desserts will be German chocolate cake and vanilla pudding."

The blonde woman made her way to a hand full of maids as the chefs and bakers scurried away.

"Ladies, Sesshomaru has diplomats coming. Make sure they are comfortable and have brandy ready. Sadi will be waking up soon. Olive you know what to do. Chris is out training. He's using Jaken as a practice doll. When he gets back, he will be left alone. Aurora is here to watch me and be near me. Make sure she doesn't get lost. Viola, Sesshomaru's mother is coming over this afternoon. Lavender tea and biscuits."

Viola nodded as well as the maids.

Lori sighed then smiled at Aurora "I have to prepare for the day."

They went into the master bedroom and Aurora was in awe. The room was huge. A window stood at full attention. The bed was the main focus point and was dyed in a maroon color.

Viola had slipped in and Lori was changing from one simple gown to the next.

Aurora stepped onto the closet that Lori had pointed to and was in shock. Racks upon racks lined the walls. Clothing hung in an orderly fashion. Shoes peaked out from above, and in the back was a cabinet dedicated to accessories. At the top a jewel sparkled.

Aurora started at it as Lori came behind her explaining "It's the Shikon Jewel. Your father and mother finished it before they had you but the jewel wouldn't go to your era so we protect it."

"Wooowww" Aurora said in awe.

She turned to see her aunt in a light blue dress that tapered to her waits and flared out slightly. Her hair was pulled back and braided loosely.

"So what do we do now?" Aurora asked as she looked around. She was ready to be pampered.

Lori laughed "We wait. Sadi should be waking up."

As if on cue, Olive and Coco came in holding little Sadi, who was just waking up. Her eyes flashed happily as she saw her mother.

Lori was handed her daughter and kissed her nose "Morning Sadi my little lady."

The toddler touched her mother's smooth skin and smiled "Momma."

The women giggled as Lori spoke "Yes, momma." She pointed to Aurora "Sadi who is that?"

The child's eyes danced and said "Rora."

Aurora laughed at her almost name "Hi Sadi."

Lori smiled and handed her to Olive "Make sure she eats and is there any news about my husband?"

Coco spoke "He is due to arrive at any moment."

Lori nodded her thanks and started out the door "Come along Aurora. We have to greet your uncle."

Truthfully Aurora loved Uncle Sesshomaru and was told he never was this sweet. In fact before Aunt Lori he hated all humans. But that's what love does to you.

An eerie noise was heard and Lori stiffened as ran to the back grounds.

As she reached the door, arrows were coming through. She turned wildly to Aurora, "Go to your room now!"

Before she knew it she was watching this scene unfold.

Her uncle had arrived in his demon form, which was a huge white dog. He was fighting off many demons but from his stance he was quite injured. Lori was fighting toward him, having killed a demon boar and used its own sword against its kind. She was racing to her husband who was fighting to get to her. She embraced his leg and leaned down to nuzzle her body.

Aurora gasped as she saw blood smeared on Loris clothing and body. Her braided hair was falling out giving her aunt a wild grace about her. She sliced every which way through the enemy. Sesshomaru killed what looked to be the leader and fell down breathing heavily. The dog was gone and her uncle lie there as Lori ripped her dress's hem and started helping her husband.

Aurora met them at the door, Sesshomaru leaning on Lori for support.

His amber eyes gleamed at his niece "Good morning Aurora." His voice was soft.

Aurora bowed in respect at her uncle and let them pass. Guards came up and helped take the Lord to a bath as Lori fixed herself in the halls mirror.

"Drat. Boar blood never comes out!"

Aurora gaped in awe "What?"

Before Lori could answer Viola came racing to them "Madam! The guests are here early."

Lori put her hair in a ponytail and nodded curtly "Show them to the parlor. I will be there soon."

Aurora spoke up "What's going on?"

Lori smiled again "Guests arrived early and your uncle is no shape to attend a business meeting. I shall go in his place."

"But do you even know what they'll be talking about?"

Lori gave her a knowing grin "I know everything about this castle. Listen and learn my dear."

They arrived at the parlor and were greeted by 5 middle aged cat demons.

"Your grace" they synced in saying and bowing as Lori entered the room and sat down in a chair. She nodded and they sat. Aurora sat near her aunt.

Looking at the time it was already 11 am. Good lord and so much has happened.

Aurora paid attention as the group spoke. Not even 20 minutes of talking and bickering did Lori make the final verdict.

"Fine fine. But if we give you the land you require we will want your loyalties and 30% of the gross profit you make. Gaining the land will also put you under our protection."

A male spoke up "So were paying you to be our guardian? Ridiculous! "

Lori stood and handed the leader a pen and the document. Aurora followed her but Lori spoke to them "I know your senses picked up the boars blood before I walked in here. Even without my husband I am able to keep the castle safe. If you want good land and protection from things you can't handle I suggest you sign the agreement Mr. Sawaki. Good day to you."

And just like that they were gone from the room.

Lori changed again but Viola spoke to Aurora "She is amazing is she not?"

Aurora nodded "Yeah but I thought she was like a princess who did nothing."

Viola laughed "No child she made this castle what it is right now. When she became lady she took on all the responsibilities. Without her the castle would be in chaos. Watch her closer and see what I mean."

And the hanyou did just that. When Chris came home from his training, Aunt Lori gave him a kiss on the cheek and left him alone. His aura was tired and just mean. When lunch was served Lori tasted it before it was sent out to her family. She didn't eat at lunch because Sadi ate then wanted her mother next to for her nap. Aurora watched the blonde sing her daughter to sleep.

Her uncle spoke to her softly "She does a lot doesn't she?"

"Does she ever rest uncle?"

He smiled "No. She is the lady. She helps prepare for the next day and helps me when I need her. Most of the time I don't get to see her much but at night when she lays down to sleep she is out and ready to begin the next day the same way."

"So she is never pampered?"

He laughed "She is. But she works to be pampered. She isn't spoiled and she does her job right. Never need to be asked and never makes a mistake."

Aurora smiled "Was she always like this?"

His face was serious "No. Her first year was the hardest but she learned and became my lady."

Lori came out and smiled at the girl "Are you ready to go home?"

Aurora was tearing up by now. Sesshomaru was right. Aunt Lori was more than a princess. She ran a whole castle and a family. Her smile brought a smile to her staff. She knew what to do and was never shy about helping. She fought for her home and her life.

Aurora thought her life was hard but only being with her aunt for most of the day and afternoon she clearly saw that her life back home wasn't as bad as she thought.

Her uncle and aunt saw her to the portal and said their goodbyes.

As Aurora stepped into the portal, Lori flipped out her phone and texted her friend "Aurora is coming home. The pampered princess wins again! :)"
