Chapter 16: Dinner and a Bath Part I

A/N: Hello all! I would like to thank you again for sticking with this story despite the lengthy time between updates. Now without further ado on with the show!

In the dining area…

The dining room was equipped with a large long low table made out of expensive and heavy oak wood. The counter was surrounded by large blue and gold pillows that had tassels of opposite blue and gold colors on each of the soft seats. The floor was made out of wood that possessed a mahogany color. The walls were made out of what looked like white marble that was decorated with blue and gold crest moons. The room was not vastly furnished but the subtle colors blended in with the bolder ones combine with the paintings of blue and gold crest moons here and there on the walls was pleasing to the eyes of all the pack members.   Inuyasha silently thought that the castle so far was ‘pretty decent’; including the room they were currently residing in.

‘Except for those creepy looking golem servants with the blank expressions…that’s probably where Sesshoumaru gets that impassive expression from. Sometimes she acts like an unfeeling walking statue. Although not as much as she used to, but she still does it and it is annoying as hell! Especially when I really need to know what the bitch is thinking… Keh, I’m sure her mother helped teach Sesshoumaru that ‘poker face’ as well.’ Inuyasha thought as he glanced from Sesshoumaru to her mother, recalled said mother’s behavior earlier and remembered the faces of the ‘golems’ he saw previously. He also noted that he is getting more used to calling his sibling a ‘bitch’ instead of a ‘bastard’.

‘Not that Kagome would like it…She would sit my ass all the way from my era to hers…I hope Sesshoumaru barrier holds…’ He thought as he went from inwardly grumbling about the unfair ‘sits’ he would suffer if Kagome heard him speak about his elder sibling in that way, to thinking about their safety and how much he missed her and the gang.

Sesshoumaru was seated at one end of the table while her mother occupied the other end. Inuyasha sat on Sesshoumaru’s right while Rin sat on Sesshoumaru’s left. Inuyasha made sure he and the human pup distanced themselves as far as possible from the human eating head mistress. He was a little wary about sitting next to Sesshoumaru after the mysterious comment the younger daiyoukai made earlier about her dietary habits. However, Inuyasha knew that she would never harm a hair on Rin’s head, so she was safe from becoming his elder sibling appetizer. As for himself, he figured that Sesshoumaru no longer hated him; merely disliked him as he does her, or so he told himself. So he was almost sure he wouldn’t become a snack for her…almost. After all she did in her own words say that he was safe as long as she was present. Remembering that he actually felt reassured by her statement of his and Rin’s safety really pissed the Inu hanyou off!

‘Keh, as if I need her protection!’ Inuyasha thought as he waited for the silent statue like servants to bring the guess and host the edibles. The younger siblings’ stomach growled in hunger as it longed for food to fill its greedy void. Said younger siblings loud appetite made him momentarily forget about his anger with himself for actually relying on his sister word and focus more on the grub that would soon be shoved into his month.

Kouga’s only complaint was that he couldn’t sit next to ‘his woman’ and play ‘rub a dub dub’ with their feet, while they ate. Maybe he could get away with touching her while surrounded by some of the pack members. Perhaps make it look like an accident?

‘Yeah right as if she would fall for that…she’s more than just a pretty face…Damn just my luck!” He cursed in his mind as he observed her and remembered past stories about her exploits. From what he heard she always been a quick study, and able to think on her feet, not to mention a great tactician in battle. He wouldn’t be able to pull the wool over her eyes that easily.

‘Although smarts is a good quality to have in a mate that will fight by my side.’ He thought as he contemplated the benefit of having a mate that possessed beauty as well as brains.

Having a mate whose beauty he can always admire, whose inner passion she keeps hidden most of the time could prove most entertaining and pleasurable in the bedroom and who intelligence and power would give her the ability to watch his and his pack members backs is a valued mate to have at his side indeed!

Meanwhile Sesshoumaru distracted her mind from her would be pursuer as much as possible and focused on the time she spent with Rin and even dare she think it, her baka brother.

After all no matter how much her body desired his, her mind was dead set against it. Especially since as twisted as it may seem, a small part of her actually likes having the wolf breathing. He along with Inuyasha was in a weird violent and ironic way responsible for Rin entering her life. And although she at times hates these new emotions that was even stronger thanks to her recent change, emotions courtesy of Rin and Kagura, said emotions help her see one of her main purposes in life. Said emotions gave her more power to do what her father knew she meant to do. What he tried to get her to see a long time ago, but she was too angry and bullheaded to listen and remember the lessons she was taught before that snowy night in the cave. Her sire tried give purpose to the power she sought and that purpose was to protect the weak.

She knew that all of her past sexual encounters ended in the violent deaths of the bastards she used to seek her revenge on their kind since she couldn’t get her hands on Tessaiga to make the Ryuu pay with her father’s fang. Since Kouga without a doubt triggered her flashback due to his looks and that night in the storm, she knew that a intercourse with him will only end in death. And that scene in the bathroom did not make her resistance easier, but she was determine to endure her…urges and get over them.

So not willing to think about the wolf, she directed her mind towards her brother and human pup.

Even though he annoys the hell out of her at times, Inuyasha has always been quite amusing. As for Rin, she did not know how many days the child had left, so she would make sure she will enjoy every moment possible with the pup and to make sure said pup had the most fulfilling life possible.

Hell, now that she thinks about it, she didn’t know how long SHE had left. After all the elders will be the most powerful enemies she has ever faced. Sesshoumaru was more than confident in her strength, but she learned the hard way that know matter how strong she is, their just may be someone out their a bit stronger. Refusing to doubt her return to her lands and her people and reminding herself that it takes more than strength to win any battle, she continued to listen to Rin and Inuyasha as they chattered back and forth.

Kouga who was still disappointed that Sesshoumaru with Inuyasha’s insistence demanded that he sit farther away from the younger daiyoukai, would openly stare at Sesshoumaru for several moments before turning his attention back to his meal. The wolf was hoping to get a moment alone with the mistress of the castle so he could get some tips on the best way to approach the enigmatic Sesshoumaru. Every since they were together in the cave that night she pushed him away basically telling him that she was bad news and a danger to him. He knew all of this but didn’t care, he just wanted to get closer to her, perhaps help heal the inner wounds that filled her full of rage in the first place.

The eldest in the group observe the pack at the table. She duly noted that she would like to have a talk with her daughter alone. Maybe she could convict her Shanjoufu “Beautiful Warrior” to stop being so cold towards the strapping young wolf and give him a chance. She wanted grand pups and she may get them, if she can convince her stubborn daughter.

The few servants the elder daiyoukai had set the table with bowls filled with warm water and towels so each member of the pack could wash their hands before feasting.   The food was a variety of rare and raw meats of lesser youkai, consumption, thick grass for the full blooded canine youkai, and what looked like vegetables and food edible for humans such as rice, roasted fish and a large selection of fruits. Inuyasha made sure he sniffed the contents of the platters before him to make sure ‘human’ was not among the delectable looking food. Additionally, he sniffed the air in the dining area to make sure the other youkai were not feasting on human flesh. He released a breath he did not know he was holding when he realized they were not eating members of the other half of his heritage. In fact, it smelled similar to the dried up youkai food Kagome took to her school the time they had the school festival. Fortunately though unlike the last time he smelled the dried up youkai food, the youkai food on the table was not boiled. The elder daiyoukai even had what looked like a newt on her plate. Sesshoumaru and Kouga on the other had did not so he assumed they didn’t like lizard for a snack. He turned his nose up in disgust at the newt and thought to himself that although he is half Inu youkai he will never eat like the full blooded youkai. Inuyasha preferred human food cooked. He glanced at the thick grass and remembered Myouga saying something about how many Inu youkai enjoy eating thick grass just like a regular canine, he doubt that he would try the grass for himself to see what was so appealing about the vegetation that cause the canines before him to consume it. However, he wouldn’t be too adverse to trying the grass, the newt was out of the question though.

‘Man, Totosai was right when he mentioned that Sesshoumaru was all inu… And I do not look like a Inu…Stupid Miroku…’ Inuyasha thought, his thoughts jumping from one spectrum to another.

He remembered Sesshoumaru being spirited away by her Tensaiga when he delivered the Wind Scar for the second time and injured said younger daiyoukai. Than he remembered the comment Miroku made about him looking more like an Inu than Sesshoumaru.

Relieved that he found no humans or poison in the meats, he in his blunt fashion said ‘Keh. What the hell’ and would have begin digging in immediately if it was not for the reprimanding light punch to the back of his head courtesy of Sesshoumaru. That in turn lead to the wolf’s laughing, nearly choking of a piece of dried youkai food which in turn caused him to hit his chest so the food would pass through his esophagus. The laughter followed by the taunting from the wolf lead to an argument between said wolf and hanyou and another sharp reprimand to both of the canines thanks to the younger daiyoukai. Unusually she would have ignored them but ever since she has returned to her true form, she found herself more irritable than usual and easier to react to irritation, like bickering at the dinner table for instance.

The head mistress merely smirked for a moment at their antics and continued to eat. She could hardly wait to have a talk with her daughter about her future. However, her excitement only showed in the small closed lipped smile she held for a second. Like Sesshoumaru she has a good poker face. Nonetheless, she can be overly dramatic at times when she is enjoying herself at other individual’s expense.

Rin giggled to herself at their antics as she thought about the positive progression in the canines’ relationships. She was happy to see that her adopted mother and her uncle Inuyasha actually tolerated one another. Sure they still call each other names, hit each other, and Sesshoumaru seems to find amusement in terrorizing her little brother, but its more of what Rin considered to be ‘normal’ sibling bickering instead of battles between mortal enemies.   Kouga was also an important positive note in her Lord Sesshoumaru’s life. She thought that with the way things are going, even with the threat of the elders, she told herself that everything would turn out well.

‘Dinner wasn’t as bad as I thought.’   Inuyasha mused as he finished up his meal. Although it would have been better if Kouga could have kept his big mouth shut and Sesshoumaru would have stop reprimanding him as if he was just some little pup. Other than that, he couldn’t complain, the grub was good after all and Kouga did get a couple of good whacks to the head as well.

“Now that’s something worth smiling about.” Inuyasha thought.

After dinner the males and females split up to take baths. Unusually the males and females would have bathed together but the elder daiyoukai insisted that they bathe separately this night so the woman can have a private conversation or what Kagome would call “girl talk”. Inuyasha jumped for joy and thanked the elder daiyoukai to his own surprise. The elder daiyoukai merely smirked which made Inuyasha wonder what the hell their “girl talk” entailed exactly. That smile of hers, if it could be called that looked like the head mistress was either up to no good, taking pleasure out of someone else’s suffering or she was thinking about many different ways to kill someone before carrying out the murder. He knows that smile because he seen it on Sesshoumaru, on the rare occasions she actually did smile.

He inwardly shudder and remember what Sesshoumaru told him before they entered the castle of the clouds and he sighed in relieve, only to ‘Keh’ at himself for reassuring himself with her words.

Taking a deep breath he dismissed the smirk deciding not to care. However, he wouldn’t tell anyone that he decided not to pay any attention to the head mistress behavior at that point and time because of his big sister words. That was for him to know and them to never find out! He was just grateful to get out of that awkward situation. The last thing he wanted to see was his human pup/niece and his elder sibling naked. He’ll fight tooth and nail to keep from admitting that his sibling has always been breathtakingly beautiful even as a male. He went so far as to call him ‘a pretty boy prick’ when he was pissed at Sesshoumaru a while back. But to him his siblings beauty was more like a work of art, a gorgeous land scape with the full moon shining over it as bright as the sun. Sesshoumaru no matter how much he hated the daiyoukai in the past or actually cared for her now was something that he admired. Unlike the wolf Kouga his admiration of his sister majestic beauty was not that of a sexual nature. Hence, why he bounced down the hallway in the opposite direction happily. Out of pure curiosity though he couldn’t help but wonder if she had any of those markings on her ankles or anywhere else on her body besides her face and wrist. However, he can get along just fine without seeing for himself.

Meanwhile Kouga grumbled about his “damn luck” and “missing out on “Sweetness” goods” and got slapped in the back of the head by ‘his woman’ hard. Kouga yelped and stumbled forward nearly falling to his knees. With the wolf rubbing the back of his head, Inuyasha laughing at his expense and Kouga yelling at him to ‘shut up’ the two males went to another bathing chamber opposite of the women. As they walked and Inuyasha laughter finally died down, Kouga could be heard saying:

“Damn she’s mean as hell and she packs a wallop!!! I think she knocked something lose up there” He said referring to his sore head.

“Stop your whining ya mangy wolf. That at nothing but a love tap compared to how hard she hit me before. Quit ya growling Sesshoumaru it’s true!”. The last portion of his sentence shouted as he looked over his shoulder at Sesshoumaru. He saw that the “love tap” comment pissed her off.

“And that was lose long before she whacked ya one.” Inuyasha said as an afterthought pointing his thumb towards Kouga’s head, only earned the middle finger from the wolf as a response. A gesture he learned from Inuyasha, who in turn learned from Kagome time.

Inuyasha wanted to say something along the lines of “I ain’t the one ya should be saying that to. Last time I check you and Sesshoumaru was on your way to doing just that…’ But thought better of it after he felt a cold shiver go down his spine. He looked behind him again and decided that he didn’t feel like getting beat up by any more by girls that day…

‘Damn why do crazy bitches scare me more than anything!’ He though as he saw the death glare she was giving him. But just because he was scared did not mean that he would always bit his tongue. Sometimes, but not always…

“Shut up mutt!” Kouga howled as he gave Inuyasha a death glare of his own while he rubbed the lump on his head with both hands and swished his tail angrily back and forth.

The queen of the house had similar thinking as her little human granddaughter. However, she knew that many obstacles had to be removed before her daughter can become use to her real body and begun to heal. Namely, the elders. Her motherly instinct told her that something occurred in Sesshoumaru’s life that made her become shut off to the world, but she also felt that whatever it was, her daughter acquaintance with the strapping young lad would help her move on.

Regardless of whether her only daughter liked it or not the head mistress planned on meddle in the younger daiyoukai life.
In a few moments the three females entered their sweet smelling bathing chambers.

The head mistress smirked again this time at Sesshoumaru.

Rin didn’t notice the evil looking smile as she was too busy taking in the beautiful sight of the large round steamy bath that rose from the floor and was made out of beautifully crafted light grey stones with white lines traveling in every direction. Lovely white candles were propped on the walls, several different bars of hand created soaps sat on the shelves across from the bath. Rin ran to the shelves and took a big whiff of the sweet smell cleansers.

“They smell just like sukura blooms!” She said with excitement finding herself wishing that she had her Lord Sesshoumaru sense of smell. She bet they would smell a hundred times better.

Sesshoumaru narrowed her eyes at her mother smirk while Rin was distracted, knowing that ‘mother dearest’ was up to something. The elder daiyoukai was going to verbally ‘pounce’ on her and she was determined to be ready…
