He watched her dress impressed that she knew how to put on the Kimono of a Lady. Naomi saw his look of awe, and rolled her eyes saying, "Seriously Sesshomaru I do wear Kimono's more often than the Miko Robes those are only to be worn when outside the shrine on official Miko business."

Once they were both dressed, Sesshomaru led her down to the dining room to have breakfast. Just as they sat down to eat when Lord Hansuke arrived at the castle with his daughter. Jaken showed them to the dining room so that they could join Lord Sesshomaru and his new mate. Jaken showed them to their seats before leaving the room. Lord Hansuke smiled saying, "Congratulations on the new mate where on earth did you find this beauty?"

Sesshomaru smirked replying, "You can't tell me you have forgotten Naomi already Lord Hansuke as I just took her from you yesterday."

Hansuke's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at Naomi in disbelief Naomi turned to him saying, "Why don't you introduce your daughter to me Lord Hansuke my mate has told me of the contract you two entered."

Lord Hansuke collected himself before saying, "Mating seems to have done wonders for you, Naomi. This is my daughter Yuki she, and I will be staying here for the next moon. If you are pupped with Lord Sesshomaru's heir, then we will stay until the pup arrives, and is announced to be healthy. If it is anything other than male at that point he will need to breed with my daughter on her next heat."

Naomi nodded to her saying, "Nice to meet you Yuki I hope we can be friends as we will be spending a lot of time together."

Yuki glared at her not liking this one bit how was she to become Sesshomaru's mate with this woman in her way. She had hoped that this woman wouldn't understand Yokai customs, and would attack her unprovoked so that Sesshomaru would have to punish her, and then she would get more time with him. This would allow her to woo him, and convince him that he had made a wrong choice. Yuki crossed her arms saying, "I am here to breed with your mate not to make friends with you."

At this point, Naomi decided to put her in her place by saying, "You do realize that when you breed with him it will only be on your most fertile days, and you will be wearing special breeding attire. I will be there to arouse him so he may perform his duty to you, and once pupped he will only touch you to bond with the pup. Which has to be done with me there once you deliver I have the right to ask you to leave as I will be able to nurse your pup. My mate and I had discussed allowing you to stay but if you are going to be hostile, I will have to ask you to leave as soon as you are well enough to travel."

Yuki looked at her sire stunned even she didn't know the information Naomi had spoken to her she finally asked, "Sire is what she said true?"

Lord Hansuke replied, "It is dear daughter he is mated he needs not to spend a second more with you than is necessary to pup you and make sure the pup develops healthily. After the pups arrival, it is his mate's choice to allow you to stay, and nurse or she could do so herself. Sending you home unless you deliver a female in which case she could kick both you and the pup out as soon as your fit to travel. I only contracted with Lord Sesshomaru to breed with you the once as long as you deliver a healthy pup he is no longer committed to you. If it's female, you may keep it, but a male will stay here with its sire until it reaches the proper age. At which point he would go to the Northern lands to finish his training under me so that one day he could rule."

Yuki sat there stunned she ran through it in her head if Naomi delivered a male she'd go home with nothing, and be subjected to being mated or breed to someone else by her Father. Even if Naomi had a daughter, she could wind up leaving the Western lands alone leaving her child behind. She decided that at least for now she would try to get along perhaps she could show Sesshomaru that she was truly the better bitch. She smirked as she looked at Naomi asking, "Where will Father, and I be staying?"

Naomi replied, "You will stay in the guest wing until a room can be made to your liking in the family wing so that you may get used to everyone in the castle. Once you're moved into your room your Father will return home, and you will be under the rule of Lord Sesshomaru."

Yuki looked at her sire in horror she had no idea that she'd have to stay in the West alone. She asked, "You will be abandoning me here?"

Lord Hansuke replied, "You know I can't stay here I have duties in the North. I will visit often, and be in constant contact with Sesshomaru as well as you. I expect you not to do anything to disgrace the Northern lands. If I find you behaved poorly, I will disown you, and ban you from the Northern territories."

She turned to Sesshomaru for support until he said, "Don't look to me if you behave poorly I will ban you from the West. As soon as our contract is completed, I want you off my lands anyway. I don't need a female trying to interfere with the relationship of my mate, and myself so once the contract is fulfilled you will leave the West as soon as possible."
