"I've been trying to find him a wife for quite some time, and he keeps turning down every eligible woman in this world. It can't be a coincidence that my son hasn't tried killing you." Lady Takara smiled, as she turned to Sesshomaru. "She must mean something to you."
Sesshomaru shrugged, and I knew the answer.
"Lady Takara," She turned to me. "I have no significance. I'm not worth killing, because it wouldn't be a satisfying thing to do, as I'm but new to my birth and truth of self. It would be like a dog killing a blind cat, it wouldn't be worth its time. Sesshomaru is a noble and strong Lord, why would he kill such an inexperienced and weak demon such as I." I heard Sesshomaru groan as he walked away, I looked to his back walking out of the garden, 'What did I say?'
"Sesshomaru, be back for dinner." Takara walked over to me, taking my hand, as she walked me into the palace. "Let's talk."
++Few Hours Later++
Takara told me of everything about the Moon Kingdom, from the start and finish of its beautiful legacy, and who my mother was; she actually knew her, my mother's whole name was Diana Jin Retsu. She told me that I looked just like my mother, and acted just like her, a heart of gold behind a safe door, I laughed because it reminded me of what my father said about my eyes. She also told me about some of their adventures when they were young, and how my mother was so excited to be pregnant with me, but terrified of the future. 'My mother loved me…' It made me happy, that the mother I never got a chance to know, loved me so much, 'I wish she could see me now.'
Takara also taught me about my powers, since I was Diana's daughter; I had gained the same powers. She told me I could also copy powers and create illusions; I was amazed that I could do such things. She allowed her hands to cause some kind of smoke, it was covered in a green light, poison nails is what she called it, and she told me to think and imagine it as my own. I closed my eyes as I felt power surge in my hands, I opened them to see purple light, but the same poison affect. I couldn't help but smile so brightly, I could protect myself with more than my own abilities, but the abilities of others. 'Naraku will never be able to kill me now.'
She patted my back, as my nails turned back to normal and the light disappeared. "I'm proud of you, dear child."
"It's all thanks to you, Mother Taka." Lady Takara allowed me to call her that after our long conversation about Mother and my life without her, or any truth of who I really was, she treated me like a daughter, which was nice.
"Excuse me, Milady?" A servant came into the room, as she bowed in front of us. "Tis dinner time."
"Thank you." The servant opened the door to the dinning room, as Mother Taka walked me into the room. Sesshomaru, Rin and Jaken already were sited in front of place mats, as there were two left, one that laid across from them all and one between Sesshomaru and Rin. I walked towards the one between the two, but she stopped me.
"What is it?"
"You must sit at the head."
"Why? You are the elder and lady of the castle."
"But you are of Celestial birth; you are higher than anyone, other than the gods themselves."
"But-"
"Do not argue. Sit." Sesshomaru sipped some tea, I sighed, Mother Taka sat down between Sesshomaru and Rin, as I sat at the last placing. The cooks brought in tons plates filled with meat and dozens of types of noodles, I felt like I was eating the real version of 'Chinese food', I giggled. I took a bite, I couldn't believe how good it tasted, it was better than anything I had ever eaten, I stuffed as much as I could, I couldn't help it.
"Stop being a pig." I turned to Sesshomaru, with a mouth full of meat and noodles, as Mother Taka nudged Sesshomaru.
"And you stop being hard on her. She can't help it, it's her native cuisine, it's burned into her blood to be addicted to the food she's eating."
"Huh?" I looked at her weird.
"It was the same thing your mother would eat when she was here. That's all she would eat, other than sweets." Mother Taka laughed, as I tried to smile with the food in my mouth. "Celestial Dogs are addicted to meat, so they must have as much as possible to stain their primal urges. There is deer, chicken, fish, whale, fox, wolf, pig and birds of paradise, with dozens of herbs to keep your body strong."
I swallowed, as I nodded. "Thank you, Mother Taka." I yawned, as I took one last big bite.
"Sesshomaru." Mother Taka looked to him. "Take Mika to her room. She must be tired from all the things she's learned today." Sesshomaru nodded to his Mother, getting up and walking over to me, taking me up into his arms, as I wrapped mine around his neck.
"Goodnight, Mother Taka." I waved goodnight, she smiled waving back, as we left the room, down the hall. I nuzzled my head into his shoulder, as he held me tighter. "Thank you, Sesshomaru."
"You are such a child."
"I am not." I burped, turning my head the other way, not to get it in his face, as he sighed.
"Then why must this Sesshomaru carry you to your bed?"
I glared at him. "If I was a child, would I do this?" I took his cheeks into my hands, as we entered a bedroom; I closed my eyes and kissed him.
