The Princess of the Southern Lands
Chapter 2: Dinner
Rose still could not believe that she and her family would
be safe. She sighed as she looked over
at her wound. She hated that the Prince
would probably be punished for losing to a half-breed but she had to do
whatever she could to help her family.
Her mother, unknown to none except her family, was a human
priestess.
Rose being her child, had been born with the ability to use
spiritual powers. It was an ace in the
hold that she would use in the most desperate of times until she was able to
use it completely and when she was old enough to use it wisely.
“My dear daughter,” her mother called out to her. Rose went to her mother.
“I am so sorry that you had to that. I know that the Lady does not like Hanyou’s at all, but we had no other choice but to come
here to seek refuge. At least here none
of the other youkai will dare venture because of the power of Lord Inu no
Taishio.” Her mother said tearfully as
she patted her daughter’s head and held her close.
“You did me proud Tenshi.” Her father said. “Our daughter is strong as well as smart,
Sakura. She outwitted the powerful son
of the Great Dog Demon.” Her father held
her mother close. “It is thanks to our
daughter that we have a safe haven, and I believe a new friend in the Lord of
the West.” Shin smiled as he recalled
the laughter of Inu no Taishio.
“Thank you father, I only did what I had to, to help mother
and you. That is all.” Rose said shyly. She sighed and went to look out of the window
balcony in the room they had been given.
The room was very lavish and the maid youkai had been very nice.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 1 week later *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rose walked down the path that had become familiar to
her. She and her family had avoided
eating in the main dining hall with the rest of the castle for fear of what
problems may rise up because of their presence there. The Lord of the West had been kind enough to
take them in and they had no wish to cause him any further trouble.
Rose walked with her head down hoping not to attract any
attention. Her intention was to go to
the kitchen and order their food. Then
she would wait until the food was done and take it back to her family. Her father usually got their food but her
mother had been sick and he had not wanted to leave Sakura’s side. Rose had told her father she would get the
food, she had done so before so it would be no trouble to get the food once
again.
Suddenly, Rose ran into someone and fell backward. She looked up and was mortified to find that
she had run into the Lord of the Western Lands, the Great Dog Demon, Lord Inu
no Taishio. She gasped and stood up
quickly bowing very low and apologizing repeatedly for bumping into him and not
watching where she was going. She prayed
that she had not angered him.
She then felt herself being picked up. “It is fine little one. My son has done the same before, though he
did not have his head down. And neither
should you my dear, you have nothing to be ashamed of.” The Lord said as he held her.
Rose was stunned into silence. She had never once thought that such a
powerful youkai could be so kind. “Th…th…thank you milord.” She managed to stammer out.
“I have not seen you or your family at the dining hall at
all. Where are you eating or are you all
eating at all?” Inu no Taishio questioned Rose.
“Well milord. We didn’t
want to cause you any more trouble so we have been getting our meals and eating
them in our rooms that you have so graciously given us.” Rose said slightly petrified of his reaction.
“Nonsense, your family has just as much right to eat with us
as anyone in the castle does. I expect
to see you and your family in the dining hall immediately. I will not allow you to eat in your rooms
unless it is a snack at night.” The Lord
said sternly. He then set her down in the
direction of her and her family’s rooms.
Then the Lord left toward the dining hall.
Rose walked back to her room silently with her head up. If the Lord of the Western Lands told her she
had no reason to keep her head down then she wasn’t going to put her head down anymore. She only hoped that the Lady wouldn’t
retaliate.
Rose came into the room.
She saw her father look at her curiously at her being back so soon and
without the food. “Rose? What happened?” Shin asked.
“The Lord of the West said that we can no longer eat in our
rooms unless it’s for a snack at night.
He said we have as much right as everyone else to eat in the dining
hall.” Rose said to her father.
Shin sighed and nodded his head. “Sakura? How do you feel my love?” Shin asked his
beloved.
“I feel well enough to go eat with you. Let us go.
I do not wish to anger the Western Lord.” Sakura said as she rose up.
Moments later Rose and her family walked into the dining
hall that had been active with talk until they had walked in. The room fell silent as everyone in the room
looked up at the family of the Southern Lands.
Inu no Taishio stood up.
“Come Lord Shin and family.
You may come and sit with us here.”
Inu no Taishio swept his hand at three seats left open for the Southern
Lands family.
The three sat down with Sakura in the middle of her daughter
and her mate. Rose ended up sitting next
to Sesshomaru. She glanced at Sesshomaru
as he looked at her. She quickly looked
back at her plate as a servant filled it with food.
