I closed the door behind me and ran over to my cupboard pulling open the doors, kneeling on the floor I looked closely at the chest.
"He didn't touch it" I sighed with relive
I stood up and closed the cupboard then feel onto my bed looking out my window watching the clouds slowly move across the sky.
"Sesshomaru look, don't you think that looks like a bunny?"
Sesshomaru looked up at the cloud Takara was pointing to.
"It looks like a cloud"
"Nah it's a bunny, see there's the ears and the fluffy tail"
He couldn't help but smile at Takara as she pointed out how the could looked like a bunny, Sesshomaru loved it how she could find joy in such little things for him that seemed impossible.
"What does that one look like?" he asked point to another cloud
Takara thought hard for a few minutes and turned her head side to side.
"That's a… umm"
Sesshomaru was laughing when Takara finally sat down on the grass in defeat, she looked at Sesshomaru trying to muster up a glare but that only made him laugh more.
I rolled over with a sigh "that was such a long time ago" I found myself staring at my cupboard for a long time before I heard a knock at my door.
"Come in" I called out sitting up
"I'm sorry for disturbing you" Hana apologised entering the room
"Hana you know your always welcome here" I smiled
Hana shuffled nervously near my door causing me to worry.
"Is there something wrong?" I said alarmed with my feet on the floor
"Oh no… I was just… well it's about Lady Rikana's son…"
"I see" I chuckled relaxing more "and what about him"
"Well it's just… aren't you scared?" she blurted out walking closer to me
"Scared? Why would I be scared?" I asked sitting crossed legged on my bed
"Because he just seems so cold, I got shivers when he looked at me" she explain rubbing her arms
"He doesn't come across as the nicest demon ill admit, but I don't think he is really a bad guy"
Hana was suddenly on my bed with her face leaning close to mine "you like him don't you!"
"WHAT! No way! How could you even mention that?"
"You can't fool me its written all over your face"
"I don't like him! I mean sure maybe once long ago I did but…."
"Whoa hold up! 'Once long ago' what do you mean by that?" she questioned
I cursed at myself for letting that slip, all this time I had managed to keep my past a secret form everyone even Lady Rikana doesn't know about the life I once had.
"I have met him once before" I shrugged trying to brush it off
"You have?"
"I dunno it was a long time ago back when you weren't even born" I laughed
"That's just weird you know that" she said scrunching up her face
"What is?"
"That you knew my as a baby"
"I knew your mum when she was a baby to"
"Argh stop that, it's creepy makes you sound really old"
"I am old" I chuckled "can't you see the wrinkles"
"You lucky you don't have to worry about getting old"
"I guess but I also have to watch those I care about get old and…"
"Yeah I guess there are bad things about being a demon" she said getting off my bed "well I should get back to work, those halls don't clean themselves"
"Give me a minute to change and ill help"
"Nah its ok, I'm…"
"Nope I'm going to help ok"
"Thanks Takara, you're a good friend"
I got changed then spent the rest of the afternoon helping Hana clean the halls, after dinner I was called into the throne room to see Lady Rikana.
"You called me milady"
"Yes I would like you to spend some time with my son"
"I don't understand, what is it you want me to do"
"Just stay with him, I'm sure my poor dear son is lonely so far from his home" she said throwing her head into her arms
"I get the feeling he is used to being alone"
"Very well milady" I said with a bow
I left the throne room with a sigh "why do I have to entertain him" I slowly walked down the hall until I came to his room "what does she expect us to do" I knocked on the door and waited for a response.
"What" came the angered response
"May I come in Lord Sesshomaru?"
"You may enter"
I opened the door and saw Sesshomaru standing with his back facing me but even so I still bowed.
"I have been instructed to keep you company" I explain with my head still lowered
"I do not need company" he spat
"Lady Rikana has…"
Before I had a chance to finish my sentence Sesshomaru was already out of the room and tearing down the halls, I sighed and walked slowly after him. I stopped outside of the throne room "should of known he would come here" I lent against the wall and waited, I was sure once he was finish Lady Rikana would want to say something to me.
"I don't need some weak human to keep me company!" I heard him shout
I couldn't help but frown at being called human, since I have been here iv only been called a demon and that is how everyone knew me but now that Sesshomaru was calling me a human it was sure to stir up some complications.
"I agreed to staying here not to put up with your petty servants"
My frown depend as he said that, everything was clam after that, I didn't know what was being said nor was I very interested in any of it. I guess that Lady Rikana and Sesshomaru had made some sort of deal when she called me into the room; I opened the door slightly and shut it quietly behind me.
"Yes milady?"
"You are to stay with Sesshomaru"
This surprised me; I was hoping that Sesshomaru had managed to convince her otherwise.
"But what about my duties?" I said hoping that would get me out of it "it would be unfair to the others for me to neglect them"
She seemed to think hard about this for a few seconds giving me a small spark of hope.
"Yes that's true… very well Sesshomaru will just have to go with you"
My small light of hope quickly faded, I could tell Sesshomaru wasn't to happy about this when I heard him growl but with one look from Lady Rikana he nodded in agreement.
"Then it's settled"
