Chapter 16- The Introduction
The next morning, Aine woke feeling a weight draped over her and a soreness between her legs. Suddenly the events of last night came back to her in a rush. Sesshomaru had mated her, she smiled, and turned to look at her new mate. When she stroked his cheek, his eyes popped open to look at her, and she blushed.
He laughed and said, "No need to be embarrassed by me, mate. Last night was a natural response to the love we share." She nodded her understanding. "Come, let's bathe and go to breakfast.", he said, standing and holding out his hand for hers.
"Yes, my lord", she giggled before reaching for his hand.
***********
When they arrived at the dining area; Inu Yasha, Kagome, Sango, Miruko, and Kenta were already there. All eyes turned to the couple as they entered the room.
Inu Yasha stood as they entered and said, "Oi, I see the dog trainer got to you Sesshomaru." Aine blushed but giggled.
Sesshomaru eyed him coldly, but responded with, "Do not speak about this Sesshomaru's mate like that. She is now the Lady of the Western Lands, and deserves your respect."
Sesshomaru led Aine to her seat and sat beside her. Kagome smiled at Aine and said, "I'm so happy for you. We need to have a celebration, it's not everyday the woman I look to as a sister becomes mate to the most powerful youkai in Japan."
"There will be a celebration in a month's time. Kagome, I will request that you help Aine prepare for the ceremony, as the court will be attending.", Sesshomaru said. "This Sesshomaru's mate will need her family there. So, please, stay until the end of the festivities."
Just then the door opened, Daichi and Tomoe entered the room. Daichi's eyes widened when he saw where Aine was seated. He looked to them and said, "Oh, That explains all the noise last night. May I congratulate you, Sesshomaru-sama, on your wise mate choice. If you had not, I would have requested her hand."
Aine looked at Daiche and said," If my lord would not have taken me as a mate, I would've become a miko. None other may have me."
Tomoe looked at Kenta and blushed, but Aine noticed a little fear there too. "Hmmm, I will need to speak with this girl today. Her father lacks in the explanation department." she thought.
After they finished eating, Aine asked the women to go to her old rooms so they could plan the celebration.
When they arrived, Jaken had already fed her pack and was waiting for her arrival. "May I offer my congratulations, my Lady?" he asked.
"Oh Jaken, thank you for taking care of them for me.", Aine said.
"It's part of my duty to serve you, my Lady. Besides I think they like me.", he responded.
Aine laughed, "Of course they do. Now, could you please bring us some tea? We have to plan a celebration."
"Yes, my Lady.", was the answer.
"Oh, and Jaken," she said, "bring enough for yourself. We need help.". Aine smiled at him.
When he left, Aine looked at Tomoe and said, "I think you need an explanation of what happened last night.
Tomoe blushed bright red and said, "My Lady,"
"Tomoe, you looked at Kenta today as if you were afraid of him. I just want to explain that you don't need to fear him. What you heard was my Lord announcing that he had taken a mate. It is common for youkai to howl when they have mated. It will happen on your wedding night as well. Please, don't fear Kenta, he won't hurt you. I have his word on that."
Tomoe smiled at Aine and said, "I just don't know what to expect. I know nothing of marriage or the marriage bed."
"Well, I'm sure we can answer any questions you may have, and," she said, with a grin," tell you a thing or two that will drive him wild."
Aine, Kagome, and Sango laughed at Tomoe's bright red face.
***************************
A few hours later, plans for the celebration finished. The women had some time on their hands. Sango and Aine decided a little sparring was in order. Kagome and Tomoe went along to watch.
Watching them, Tomoe was a little jealous of their ability to protect themselves.
She looked at Kagome and said, "I wish I could do that. Father never let me learn. He said it was not a woman's place."
Aine looked at her and said, "I will speak with Kenta. He will have training started as soon as you are mated. I'm sure he would feel better knowing you could defend yourself."
Tomoe's eyes sparkled, "Do you think so?", she said.
Sesshomaru and Kenta entered the dojo just then. Sesshomaru looked at Aine and said, "What do you have up your sleeve now, woman?"
Aine smiled at him and said, "Nothing, my Lord, Tomoe was asking about training. I was saying that perhaps Kenta would permit it after their mating."
Kenta spoke up, "Of course, I would expect my mate to be able to defend herself, if I were not there to protect her." Tomoe was surprised, she expected to hear it wasn't ladylike.
Aine saw her face and laughed, "You have a lot to learn about demons, eh, Tomoe?"
At her blush, she walked over and took Miu from Kagome's arms. Pulling Kagome to her feet, she said, "Come on, girls, let's go bath before dinner."
Sesshomaru's heart sped up at the sight of Aine holding the pup. He thought, "I must pup her soon. I want to see what ours will look like."
Aine saw him and smiled, reaching up and stroking his cheek, as if reading his mind and approving. She turned and left the dojo, heading for the bathhouse.
The rest of the month was uneventful, except for the preparations for the mating celebration.
********************************
One Month Later
The morning arrived bright and clear. Aine awoke extra early, her nervousness apparent to everyone in the household. Servants where scurrying around to finish the preparations for the day. Sesshomaru was doing his best to calm Aine, who he knew was pupped, although she didn't
know yet. He had grabbed and was holding her in his embrace and telling her to calm down. "How can I calm down?", she snapped. " Every high ranking youkai will be here and most hate humans. Everything has to be perfect. They must not be able to criticize me at all."
He smiled down at her and said, "When they feel the power you have. There will be no question as to your right to be at my side. Besides, all this upset is not good for our pup."
Her eyes flew to his face, "Our pup?', She asked.
He bent and kissed her, saying, "I can sense him growing inside you now. So don't worry, you are perfect and no one will dispute that, my mate."
She placed a protective hand over her belly and said, in awe, "Our pup." Suddenly, she reached up and kissed the demon who had stolen her heart. "All I need is you at my side, and I will be alright.", she said. Then she gave him a devilish grin, "I need a bath, care to join me, my Lord?", she asked, and took off running to the bathhouse, knowing he would chase her.
****************
That evening Aine sat at Sesshomaru's side and was introduced to the youkai court. He had advised her not to cloak herself at all, but to let them all see her power. Only one sought to challenge her. A female inuyoukai, named Moriko, who had sought to claim Sesshomaru for herself, said, "My Lord Sesshomaru, a lowly human? and her "pets", which she brings to the dining hall.", she sneered.
Aine gave her a look that gave the demoness pause and said, "Those "pets" are my pack and will tear you to bits if I tell them too, or perhaps I should just do that myself?"
The demoness scoffed at that comment and said to Sesshomaru, "Teach her what her place is, or I will."
He laughed and said, "Try it and see what she does to you." She choose to ignore the comment, but managed to get herself seated next to Sesshomaru's left side. All evening Aine tried to be gracious but, when the demoness' hand touched her mates knee, Moriko found a knife at her throat.
Aine's eyes were frozen like ice and she said, "You DARE touch what it MINE! Bitch remove yourself from my presence, now." The entire court was shocked into silence.
The human woman had confronted Moriko, and somehow was wielding the knife that was now at her throat. "I will not be played as a fool with no power. Understand this, touch what is mine again and you will die. As you can see, I don't need to be close to you to do it either."
Aine had had enough, she turned to all there and said, "Is there anyone else foolish enough to challenge my Lord's judgment or have I proven myself as his mate?" Her question was met with silence, except a few who were clearing their throats.
Sesshomaru turned to Aine and said, "Mate, I don't think bloodshed is necessary at our mating celebration."
She smiled at him, and said, "Yes, my mate." and recalled the knife from Moriko's throat. She knew as Moriko stormed out, that she had made an enemy, but that it could not be helped.
Late that night, after all had gone, Aine lay in Sesshomaru's embrace. "I'm glad that is over.", she said.
"I believe it went well, especially, after your fit of jealousy.", he grinned at her.
"Did you want her touching you, my Lord?", she demanded.
"Not at all, mate, but a better demonstration of your power I have never seen. It gave the court a good look at the woman I mated.", he stated, "They now know that your power exceeds most of their's, and they won't question you any longer."
"I'm glad. I don't want to be the case of problems for you.", she said.
He smiled at her, "My Love, you will never be a problem. You are the one thing that makes my existence complete, and the pup to come will only increase that. My father choose well, and I'm glad he choose you. I will love you for eternity, and will always be at your side." He placed a hand on her stomach.
She covered his hand with hers, "Me, too. Mate, me too." Her heart shining in her eyes, she kissed him, anticipating all the loving years ahead of them, watching their family grow and grow up.
