When Sesshoumaru did finally awaken he found himself cuddled in Pearl’s arms with Pearl resting peacefully. He did wonder when they had moved from the dojo to the bed though. The only thought that came to mind was who carried him and was it seen? He could not be seen as weak by his people and it irked him a bit that Inuyasha probably carried him as though he were a mere babe.

Sesshoumaru sat up and frowned at his little brother who was also sleeping cuddled up behind Pearl. He needed to know if he had been seen whilst his little brother carried him or did the guards carry him? Sesshoumaru swore if the guards carried him he would have Inuyasha’s hide.

Shaking his little brother awake, Sesshoumaru growled. He shouldn’t have gone back to sleep in that dojo damnit. He just knew something like this might happen to him and he wasn’t happy in the slightest.

“Go away…”

Inuyasha mumbled in his sleep swatting at Sesshoumaru.

“Wake up Inuyasha.”

Sesshoumaru growled.

Inuyasha swatted again at the hand that was shaking him and rolled over with a perfect pout on his lips trying to get comfortable again.

“Inuyasha if you do not wake I will bare that little ass and spank you until it is black and blue!”

Sesshoumaru snarled as he once again shook Inuyasha this time harder finally getting the boy to open his eyes and look at him.

“What the fuck Sesshoumaru?”

Inuyasha grumbled as he sat up looking at Sesshoumaru angrily. First Pearl shoves him off her lap then Sesshoumaru had to be an asshole too when he was having the greatest dream about being surrounded by boobs that were even pillowing his head. It was an awesome dream.

“Did you have the guards carry me here?”

Sesshoumaru ground out.

“No, I carried you.”

Inuyasha said with a pout.

“Was it seen?”

Sesshoumaru growled needing to know if Inuyasha was fool enough to just walk around with him through the castle or if he teleported back.

“No. I teleported us all here. I ain’t stupid so cut me some slack.”

Inuyasha said with a frown and a yawn.

Sesshoumaru was relieved.

“Good, you may go back to sleep now.”

Sesshoumaru said as he got up off the bed and proceeded to go finish the duties for the day, but not before he pulled the chord for the servants to assist him with his hair. He was most certain his hair was a mess.

“Now I can’t go back to sleep Sess.”

Inuyasha said irritably.

“Very well, you may finish your lessons for the day. I will speak to the Matron about hitting you, but you will work on your speech since I will not have my mate insulting the Lord of the East.”

Sesshoumaru stated tersely.

“Well, tell the fucker not to insult me first and we shall get along fine.”

Inuyasha said as he got up from the bed with his hair looking wild and crazy. It was sticking up and out in places with the topknot sitting crooked on his head.

“You will not leave this room looking the way you do and you will learn to hold your tongue. I do not want a temper tantrum just because of a few insults Inuyasha.”

Sesshoumaru said as Inuyasha went to the rack to retrieve his armor.

“It depends on the insult. I won’t have people insult my Mother or me without consequences.”

Inuyasha said.

“I will defend you Inuyasha. I want you to speak very little while the Lord of the East is here. You tend to get yourself into trouble and I will not have another war just because you cannot hold your tongue.”

Sesshoumaru growled.

Inuyasha wanted to yell at Sesshoumaru that he was being an asshole, but Inuyasha was still in wake up mode and still a bit groggy. He didn’t want to fight with Sesshoumaru so soon after waking up so instead he chose to ignore his elder brother.

Fighting with the clasps on his armor Inuyasha soon felt clawed hands on him adjusting the armor and helping to clasp it. Sesshoumaru would be damned if Inuyasha’s armor did not look less than perfect especially at the price he paid for it.

Soon the servants came in and Sesshoumaru had Inuyasha sit down to get his hair combed first. He wanted the boy to go straight to his lessons and not to fool around today.

“You will see the historian first Inuyasha and then you will go to the Matron.”

Sesshoumaru said much to Inuyasha’s displeasure. He hated Jaken and did not see how he was supposed to learn anything from the stupid green kappa.

“Why don’t you just call him Jaken? He isn’t a fucking historian if you ask me.”

Inuyasha said with a pout.

“He is knowledgeable in demon history and will teach you much if you listen to him. You wanted an education so I am giving you one. Be grateful.”

Sesshoumaru stated in irritation.

“I would rather learn from Mioga if he were still alive.”

Inuyasha said with a frown. He missed his own retainer who although was a cowardly flea demon, he was a hell of a lot more useful than Jaken.

“Well he is not. I would be surprised if Totosai was still around to teach you either. Learn what you can from the kappa. Jaken is also much more reliable then the flea so do not discount him so easily.”

Sesshoumaru said with a sigh. He knew Jaken could be annoying, but the kappa was knowledgeable and had the patience to teach his brother things he would not have. That also reminded Sesshoumaru that he needed to work on sentences with Inuyasha so he could improve his writing skills.

Pearl was an excellent teacher when it came to teaching Inuyasha to read since they read books up in the tree after lessons, but Inuyasha wished the books were a little more exciting that they had to read. So far most of them tended to drone on about the same crap over and over again. Of course Jaken gave them both books on land treaties, laws, and demon magic. They hadn’t gotten to the actual demon history books yet which had a little more information concerning past battles and some of the more exciting parts of being a demon.

“Are we going to spar today Sesshoumaru?”

Inuyasha asked changing the subject since he really did not want to argue with his brother over the uselessness of Jaken.

“We can do so after your lessons are completed.”

Sesshoumaru said as he sat down and had his hair taken care of deciding to have it braided so it would be out of his face.

Inuyasha watched as ribbons of blood red were braided into Sesshoumaru’s hair and then it was tied off at the end. It looked really nice, but kind of girly to Inuyasha.

“Why do you have ribbons in your hair Sess?”

Inuyasha asked.

“Red is the color of our family crest. The ribbons represent this. Someday you will have ribbons in your hair as well as a sign of status. However I will not force them on you.”

Sesshoumaru stated plainly. Demon history would tell Inuyasha the significance of the ribbons worn in the samurai’s hair for formal events.

At that Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha left the room to go start the rest of their day while Pearl slept. Neither man had the heart to wake her and she had been doing so well with her lessons she really did not need to go to them today.

Sesshoumaru immediately went to go speak with the Matron about Inuyasha since he needed the boy to learn proper manners from the woman. The Matron of course balked at the idea of not disciplining the boy who desperately needed a firm hand, but she agreed to not strike him. She too wanted Inuyasha to learn how to be a good Lord since the boy had such potential to be a good Lord. It was just Inuyasha’s temper always got in the way of his head and he needed to learn to control it.

Inuyasha went straight to the library where Jaken awaited him.

“Where is Pearl?”

Jaken asked surprised to see Inuyasha without the female hanyou.

“She’s sleeping.”

Inuyasha said as he plopped down and waited for the stupid kappa to insult him again.

“Very well, you will need to go over these lessons with her. We are going to start with demon history today. I believe we have deviated off of the subject long enough and we will work on demon law again next week.”

Jaken said as he pulled out a large book that was almost as big as he was. Inuyasha helped Jaken so he didn’t fall over.

Opening the book to the first page, Jaken had Inuyasha read it with him. It was a change of how they normally studied with Jaken usually lecturing him. This time he was actually working with the kappa and the lesson went by much smoother plus the content was interesting. The book spoke of Inuyasha’s many times Great Grandfather and was written in the Inu language which made much more sense to Inuyasha then Japanese text. It was almost as through the words spoke to him.

Jaken stated he had a difficult time deciphering this book since it spoke in growls and barks in some places, but Inuyasha explained what those parts meant actually teaching his teacher the language of the Inu.

Inuyasha said it was the tone of the growl and the emphasis behind the bark that was how you determined what the Inu was saying. Inuyasha could always understand his big brother while in his demon dog form so this was nothing since Sesshoumaru spoke in a much more complex form of Inu then this book did.

When they finished with their lesson Jaken had a new respect for the young hanyou and Inuyasha in tern actually had enjoyed his time with the kappa demon. He hoped they would do more of this tomorrow since Inuyasha wanted to read more about his family.

Inuyasha trudged up to where the Matron awaited him and found Pearl was awake with quite the bed head waiting for him in the hallway.

“So how was today’s lesson with the little green monster? I missed it.”

Pearl said with a yawn.

Inuyasha chuckled and pulled Pearl back to their room.

“It was actually quite good. I look forward to tomorrow. I will tell you all about it after we take care of your wild hair my love.”

Inuyasha said as he pulled the chord and Pearl frowned. She hated having her hair messed with by those servants. She would love to steal those pulling combs and yanking brushes to burn them so they couldn’t pull her hair anymore. It was either that or let her comb her own hair which of course Sesshoumaru would never let her do. Even the Matron said no Lady ever combed her own hair and to cut it without help was sacrilegious. Pearl didn’t want to cut anything except her bangs a bit since they tended to float into her eyes and they were so thick that she would like to grow some of them out.

The servants came quickly and the yanking and pulling once again started.

“Leave some of it down this time as an order from Lord Sesshoumaru.”

Inuyasha said to the servants knowing what his brother thought of Pearl’s hair always being up.

The servants did as requested and then a new woman came in frowning.

“A Lady who is mated must have all her hair up as is proper.”

The woman said as she pushed the other servants aside. She was a rather large woman too and Inuyasha frowned at her.

“My brother does not want all her hair up.”

Inuyasha said as the woman pulled the locks up into three crescent shaped twists to represent the house of the moon. Then ribbons and beads were added in excess. Pearl winced as pin after pin was placed into her hair and then at the top a cascade of pure pearls poured down to the middle of her back.

“Nonsense. He wishes for his mate to represent the West and now that she is the Lady of the West she will look as such. You young people do not know what you want or what is good for you.”

The woman said.

“Who are you? I will have word with my brother about this.”

Inuyasha said angrily.

“I am Hina the new Lady’s maid appointed by Sesshoumaru’s Mother herself and head of all of these girls.”

Hina said. The large woman was probably older then Sesshoumaru’s own Mother and another pure blood Inu demon although nowhere near as powerful as Sesshoumaru or his Mother.

“The Lady Mother is still the ruling female until the mating ceremony has been performed. I suggest you have words with her if you are displeased my Lord.”

Hina said and at that she left with the other servants as Pearl looked up to a fuming Inuyasha.

“Oh I will have words………”

Inuyasha fumed.

“Please don’t upset Sesshoumaru’s Mother over this Inuyasha. It is only hair and it will be undone at night.”

Pearl said softly. Her hair did look pretty, but it was so heavy having it up. Louna had hers down, but she was currently unmated. Hopefully not for long though.

“If the damn servants disobey their Lords, Pearl than chaos will occur. My word is just as good as Sesshoumaru’s and damnit I will not be discounted by a mere servant.”

Inuyasha growled out.

“Well I do understand your frustration, but upsetting Sesshoumaru’s Mother will not help you. I like Lady Louna and she still is the Lady of the West.”

Pearl said and Inuyasha grabbed her arm marching Pearl in the direction of Lady Louna. He was a Lord too and he would not be ignored.
