Mizuki POV
Oh! That man! He's going to be the death of me someday! How dare he just turn his back to me! Who did he think he was? I may not be even close to his status, but I will sure put up a good a fight against him! And to think that I was starting to like him. I stomped my foot on the ground so hard, that it broke the cement in cracks. I huffed, and walked into the Palace, and headed straight to my bed. I brushed my teeth, got dressed in pjs, and the moment my head hit the pillow, I fell right to sleep.
I woke up around 5:00, and decided to get up already. I walked over to my bathroom and took a shower. After I stepped out, and dried myself, I dressed in one of my old black leotards, with peach color tights and white slippers. I grabbed a jacket and put it on, leaving the zipper unzipped. I quickly brushed my hair into a high bun, and went to Rin's room. When I entered, she wasn't there. Well, I figured she must be with The Prince, so I went over to his room and entered without knocking. I was right, both were still asleep. I sighed, now what was I supposed to do? I decided to go down and eat some breakfast. The moment I stepped into the dining room, a servant took a hold of my arm.
"Good morning Miss Mizuki! What would you like this morning? That is an awfully pretty suit you have on!" She said and forcefully sat me on the chair. I looked at her as she scrambled around getting plates, and setting them in front of me. Pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, toast, milk, coffee, and a whole lot more.
"Stop!" I said. She stopped and looked at me, blinking surprised.
"I already have enough. Do you have any strawberries with low-fat yogurt?" I asked.
She blinked. "Of course! I'll bring it to you this instant!" And she ran into the kitchen.
I was never going to get used to living royalty. After she brought my strawberries, I was happily eating and observing the dining décor. I heard footsteps coming, and Sesshomaru's scent hit my nose. I didn't even turn to look at him, as he sat down a little farther away from. "Is Rin awake already, Prince?" I asked, not looking at him. I was looking at these amazing walls that had a painting painted from gold! How fancy is that? He didn't answer though, and I wondered if he had heard me.
"How did you know?" I heard him asked me with a cold tone. What was his problem now?
"What do you mean?" I replied and looked at him. I popped a strawberry into my mouth, waiting for his response.
"When I walked in, you did not even acknowledge me. How did you know it was me without looking?" He asked.
I felt the strawberry got stuck in throat. He was right, I didn't look at him to know it was him, no human can do that. I swallowed it, and cleared my throat.
"You just wore strong cologne that I recognized the smell." I said, trying to hide my mistake.
"I did not even put cologne yet, Mizuki." He said, as his eyes narrowed. He was looking at me, but not just me, as well as my soul. There that's it! I blew it! No, wait.
"I was looking at that painting! The gold is so shiny it acts like a mirror! I just saw your reflection come in!" I said, pointing to the painting. He looked at it, and his eyes seemed to turn back to normal. But I could still see the doubt in his eyes. I looked down.
"Today I must attend a meeting, so I will not be back until midnight. Your job is to take care of Rin, and if I so ever find one scratch on her, consider your life being taken by my hands." He said. I felt the terror settle in my chest and stomach, and I nodded. I sighed and continued eating my strawberries. After a moment of silence, Sesshomaru was the first to break it.
"Who were you with last night?" He asked me, and took a sip of his tea.
I looked up at him. "Just a friend." I replied.
"Doesn't seem like just a friend. He kissed you." He said angrily.
I smirked. "Could The Prince possibly be jealous?" I asked.
He scoffed and picked up the newspaper that was beside him, and began 'reading'. "Not one bit. Who are you to think that I, Prince Sesshomaru, could be jealous over someone like you?"
'I'm Mizuki, Dog Demon from the Wolf Tribe! I may be mixed, but I will sure put up a hell of a fight! And why won't you like me? I'm so much better than that snobby rich woman that you're going to mate! When you see I was right, you'll be begging me to forgive you, and I will ignore you and make you feel worthless like you did to me!' I wanted to yell him all of this, but I just kept my mouth shut.
"Forgive me, Prince. I did not mean to speak to you like that." I said, through gritted teeth. That's it! He'll be begging me to forgive him! That is just it. I smirked to myself.
"Wow, is it me or is it getting hot in here." I said, as I opened my jacket to the sides. Good thing I had worn my old leotard that fit quite small on me. It showed my perfect demoness body. I saw him peek over the newspaper. Perfect, he made me fall for me, and then I will make him fall for me. I stretched my arms above my head, and instantly Sesshomaru slapped the newspaper down to his lap.
I looked at him. "Everything alright, Your Highness?" I asked sweetly.
"No…everything is perfectly fine." He said. I saw that his breathing was picking up a bit. I laughed evilly on the inside. I smiled at him.
"Very well, I must get going then." I said, and got up. I took my jacket off, and hanged it around my arm, and walked off.
I smirked, and made sure to sway my hips a little more than usual. I took a quick peek behind me, and sure enough Sesshomaru had gotten up and ran somewhere. I laughed to myself and put my jacket back on. I walked into Rin's room, who was already doing spins on her floor. She tried to a Pique Turn, but fell laughing. I laughed with her.
"Mizuki, Teach me how to dance like you!" She said.
"Alright, but first let get your hair into a bun." I said. She had already gotten dressed, so all I did was tie her hair into a bun. We walked out, and went to the Ballet studio.
There we lasted hours and hours, laughing and her falling constantly. I decide to put her on some stretches, to help her with her legs muscles a bit more. She had no problem doing the splits, unlike me. She learned how to dance half of the song Nutcracker, with child dance moves. When I showed how she would be dancing the Nutcracker when she gets older, she got ecstatic. At lunch time, we called it quits, and went to eat lunch.
"I wonder why Sesshomaru didn't come to tell us goodbye." Rin said, and bit into her sandwich.
Oh, I think I know why. I thought to myself and smirked. I put an apple slice into my mouth, and chewed thoughtfully. Rin looked at me. I looked at her and smiled. Her smile turned into a sad frown.
"What's wrong, Rin? I asked her immediately.
"Rin wants a mommy." She said.
I smiled at her softly. "Don't worry Rin. I'm sure Sesshomaru will find his mate, and she will be a good mother to you." I said.
"No! I want you to be my mommy!" She said. She was about to cry. "That woman that Sesshomaru likes, she is mean to Rin."
I looked at her now seriously. How did she know that? "How do you know that, Rin?" I asked her.
"When Sesshomaru let her stay here one night, she came into my room and scratched Rin's arms." She said.
The apple that was in my hand was crushed into mush. "Why didn't you tell Sesshomaru?" I said, almost yelling at her.
"I did! She said to tell him I fell, and I told him I fell." Rin said.
That was it. If I was going to be Rin's nanny, then I was going to treat her as my daughter. The moment I see Kagura, I will confront her with these matter whether I was royalty or not! I will never let anyone touch her or harm Rin ever again!
"Rin, if she ever does that again, or anything else, tell me quickly. I will protect you no matter what." I said.
She smiled, and got off her chair and gave me a hug. I hugged her back too.
"Thank you Mizuki. Do you want to come with Rin to the garden? I want to show you my favorite flowers!" She said.
"I'll be more than happy to, Rin!" I said.
After we had dressed, we headed for the garden. She showed me all of her favorite flowers, and in return I showed her mines. We fed the ducks that lived in a pond, and even climbed some trees. The Empress came, and took Rin to take her nap. I smiled and waved goodbye, as she left inside.
Not much happened after that. She had woken up, we ate dinner, and she went to bed again. I chatted with Inuyasha for a little, who told me that Hiroshi was dying to meet me again. I told him to tell him that we could hang out again Saturday. After that, I headed to bed. I had fallen asleep nicely, when a large crash woke me up. I literally jumped out of bed, and ran down the stairs. All of the lights were off, making it impossible to see. Lucky I was a demon. The moment my foot stepped in the living room, the door burst open, with moonlight filling up the room. Sesshomaru was leaning on the door way, breathing heavily. What had happened to him? He looked up, and I saw that his eyes weren't normal. His eyes weren't strict, or bold and sharp. Instead, they were loose, not caring at all.
"M-Mizuki?" He slurmmed his words.
His breath had caught my nose, and it smelled filled of alcohol. He had been drinking, and by the looks of it, he had fallen outside and caused that loud noise.
"You idiot! What are you doing drinking! Even just a slight over dose of alcohol can be lethal to us demons!" I said. When I revised my sentence in my head, I saw I had said us demons. But by the looks of it, he didn't even seem to listen to me.
"What? I didn't drink…You are so beautiful, Mizuki…" He said, walking towards me.
Yep, he was drinking, and still is very drunk. He reached out for me, but I backed away. He stumbled forward, but caught himself on a coffee table.
"Stay away from me, and from Rin. You are too drunk to even notice what you're doing!" I hissed at him angrily. I turned around and was about to walk up the stairs, when he got a hold on my arm. He pulled me back down.
"Let me go-"I didn't even finish what I was saying because he had kissed me right there and then! It made it worse that I was wearing my short shorts, and he was running his hands up and down my leg. I couldn't resist anymore. He may have been drunk, but I got lured in in the end.
