Lord Hansuke looked at Sesshomaru concerned asking, "What is wrong Lord Sesshomaru, and why are you back so soon."

Sesshomaru was seething mad but could tell that Lord Hansuke was genuinely surprised. He glared at both of them, and the smug look on Yuki told him all he needed to know. He asked, "What were my instructions before I left with my mate."

Lord Hansuke replied, "Any punishment was to be done by me directly, and I was to follow the punishment scroll you left me. Also, anyone in the family wing was off-limits for punishment that I was to report any bad behavior, and you would handle it upon your return."

Sesshomaru continued glaring at them hard asking, "Then why did I find my ward Rin in tattered rags, wreaking, and starving. Also both Jaken, and Jakotsu had been sent to jail while Rin had been kicked out of the castle to fend for herself. All on your daughter Yuki's orders do you not have control over your pup? Are you so lame in being a Lord that you don't check on what is going on in the castle?"

Lord Hansuke panicked he hadn't been doing his due diligence in Sesshomaru's absence. He looked over at his daughter disbelieving growling out, "Didn't I expressly forbid you from going near, or interacting with those in the family wing. As well as tell you that I was the only one to deal with them should there be a problem."

Yuki crossed her arms replying back, "That little brat called me an ugly whore. She has no right being here she belongs with others of her kind. I was kind enough to drop her off at the human village nearby. That filth doesn't belong in a Demon Lord's castle I was truly doing both good the child is spoiled and thinks she's better than a princess like me. It's not my fault the brat ran away from the couple I gave her to."

Lord Hansuke hung his head as reigning Lord it was his responsibility to keep up on what was going on, and he hadn't. He sighed saying, "Lord Sesshomaru you have more than held up your end of our deal where I have failed on my end of it. I can't undo what my daughter has done, but I can offer to stop the breeding contract so that perhaps dealings between the North and the West will hopefully continue. I also will allow you to punish my daughter as you see fit as it seems I have failed as a parent. She appears to feel that she can outright ignore my direct order."

Lord Hansuke took out the contract and destroyed it by burning it. Yuki rushed over growling, "Dad what the heck did you do that for? How is Sesshomaru going to become my mate if you don't force him to be with me?" How could you do this to me?"

Hansuke glared at her growling loudly, "Not only did you defy my direct orders but you made me look bad to Lord Sesshomaru with your little stunt. You had no right to do what you did as Lord of the West it's within his rights to have a human ward if he so desires. It is not for us to judge or to meddle in the way he runs things. I only asked you for one thing, and that was to be sure that they were well taken care of. You told me that they were, and had chosen to stay in the family wing as Rin was uncomfortable around me. How could you lie to me like that you should be more grateful to Sesshomaru for opening his home to us? He trusted us to take care of things for a few days, and this is how you show him that you'd make a good mate. You disrupt his home and hurt those who have every right to be here when we have none. No male would claim you as a mate your selfish, self-centered, spiteful, and defy direct orders. Now for once in your life shut your mouth, and take your punishment, and perhaps we will both be allowed to live, and return to the Northern lands."

Sesshomaru grabbed Yuki, and motioned Hansuke to follow she yelled at him, "What's wrong is your mate barren, or does she just not know how to satisfy you?"

He ignored her dragging her into his bedchambers he entered his bedroom ignoring her arousal. Which instantly changed the moment Yuki smelt his mate he asked, "Rin what punishment do you think is fair?"

Rin replies, "She should get a time out like Rin does to think about what she did." Sesshomaru looks at his mate asking, "What about you Naomi?"

Naomi smiled saying, "I trust you will punish her justly I would ask you let her live as I'd like her to spend the rest of her life knowing I have you, and she can't."

Sesshomaru loved his mate and took her request into consideration. He glared at her dragging her to the jail and followed his nose to the cell that both Jaken and Jakotsu were in. He looked in only to find his best guard Kenji in the cell protecting the two. Kenji growled at the other guards saying, "I don't care what she said I know these two are in the family wing of the castle, and we should wait for Lord Sesshomaru before following through with the orders. I will take the blame, and he can take his anger out on me if he is unhappy."

Sesshomaru watched as the others backed off noticing him, and quickly left assuming the Western Lord was angry, and not wanting to feel his wrath. Now alone in the jail with those he brought with him he looked over to Kenji saying, "Release them this instant." He then looked at Yuki asking, "Do you have anything to say for yourself?"

Yuki rolled her eyes saying, "Where else would a useless, annoying toad, and a sick twisted male that likes other men belong?"
