Mina’s POV

“Hmm....I’m bored, can I go disturb them?” I asked.

“No, you have disturbed them long enough. Let them have a bit time together.” Kimi-sama replied.

“I understand but why? I’ve been disturbing them the whole week and I’m even starting to get annoyed.” I grumbled.

“Be patient, Mina. If she don’t fit Sesshomaru then you can take her place.”

“Really?!”

“Yes, my child.”

This is great. Soon, I will become Sesshomaru-sama’s wife and my 300 year dream is about to come to true. I should let them enjoy their little time together.

Yuki’s POV

“Hn...”

What time is it? Um.... I don’t remember using Sesshomaru’s arm as a pillow last night. Uh...He’s still sleeping, should I mess with him or wait til he wake up? Yeah I think I’ll wait until he wakes up.

And laying here is very boring too. I’m going to mess with Sesshomaru now, not even going to wait till he wakes up. I grabbed his hand and compared it to mine, it’s so much bigger than my hand; I can’t believe I never notice this before.

“What’s wrong?”

I dropped his hand immediately. “N-nothing at all....When did you wake up?” I asked, my heart pounding in my chest.

“Just now.”

“Oh...What are you doing today?” I asked.

Personally, I don’t want to see Mina today so I hope he won’t have to-

“There’s a document I have to go over today.”

Damn it, WHY?!! “Fine....Can I take Ah-Un out for a ride later?” I questioned.

I’d rather stick with that annoying imp Jaken and Ah-Un instead of being in the same room with Mina everyday. I’m at my limit with her whining and complaining.

“Why?”

“I just feel like it.” Before I end up murdering someone.

“As long you stay out of trouble.”

“When do I ever get in trouble?”

“You know very well when.”

“Right.”

----------------------------------------------

And like I thought it’s better to be with Jaken and Ah-Un, at the most I can shut Jaken up whenever I like.

“Like I said, we can’t go outside the castle with Lord Sesshomaru’s permission!” Jaken stated, standing in front of the castle entrance.

I tilt my head over to the left and stared at him intensely. “I said I want to go outside and ride Ah-Un!! And I did get Your Lordships’ permission!” I stated as creepily as I could, towering over Jaken.

“You only got my Lord's permission to ride Ah-Un!” He argued.

I might end up killing this imp without giving a care. “Jaken, I suggest that you move aside or I’ll run you over right now.” I threatened.

“You wouldn’t-- Lord Sesshomaru!”

I turned around and saw Sesshomaru pretty much piss off. He’s not on my case is he? I mean I just wanted to go outside and ride Ah-Un. Talking about riding, it feels weird to turn around to see stuff, very uncomfortable actually.

“Jaken, move aside.” Sesshomaru stated as he jumped on Ah-Un, sitting right behind me.

“Yes, my lord.” Jaken said and moved aside.

I’m really going to kill this imp one day without hesitating at all.

“Where do you want to go?” He questioned with a slightly annoyed tone.

“Just outside. Don’t really care where.” I replied pointing straight ahead.

Without a warning he grabbed the rein and Ah-Un started running which is very interesting because I never saw Ah-Un run before but then again, he’s going too FAST!!!!!!

“Sesshomaru slow down or I’m going to fall!” I complained and grabbed onto the pommel quickly before anything happens.

Sesshomaru, being the jerk he is and the bad mood he’s in, did not slow down at all!! Instead Ah-Un went faster after Sesshomaru wrapped one arm around my waist to prevent me from falling.

Just how piss off is he to be acting like this?

“Sesshomaru, slow down Ah-Un down already!!! You’re going too fast!” I stated.

However it was like he didn’t hear me at all. And I’m starting to regret ever wanting to ride on Ah-Un in the first place! If this continues.... Argh!!!! I can’t stand riding anymore right now, if he’s not going to slow down I’ll just get off.

I loosen his grasp around my waist and lean to my left, ready to fall off Ah-Un; which might hurt a bit cause I did fall off a horse before but it’s worth it!

….

Somehow I managed to pull Sesshomaru down with me. Great~ More lecturing now T^T.

“What were you thinking?!” Sesshomaru scolded.

“Well you wouldn’t slow down and I thought that if I got off I’d be fine.” I mumbled, getting off Sesshomaru. He got up and just glared at me. “I know it’s dangerous but I’m use to it.”

“This isn’t your first time?”

“Erm.... It’s more like my second? No...third, fourth...um...probably the ninth time I’ve done it?” I really can’t remember but I feel like I did it more than ten times before. Must not tell him that, he looks like he’s about to kill me.

“Do you not have a brain?”

“It’s not like I’m going to die, besides I don’t do it often!”

Why is he taking his anger out on me?!

“You could’ve been hurt.”

“But I’m not so stop being overprotective about everything I do and don’t take your anger out on me!” Ah...crap...I really just let that out my mouth didn’t I? Uh... Somehow he looks even more pissed off right now. “Just forget what I just said. I just.....don’t know how to react when someone’s in a bad mood.”

Why do I feel guilty all of a sudden? It’s not completely my fault that I can’t deal with people who’s in a bad mood.

“I didn’t mean to take my anger out on you.” Sesshomaru sighed. “I’m at my limit dealing with Mina.”

“And I thought you can take it better than me, guess not.”

“Perhaps so. Do you want another ride?”

“No, I want to play hide and seek.”

“Childish.”

“Please? I haven’t played it in so long.”

“I know your scent very well, do you think you can hide from me?”

Yeah that... “Then tag?”

“No.”

“You can’t use your abilities and your it!” I started running away from Sesshomaru. I stopped and noticed that he wasn’t chasing me. “What? You can’t catch me without using your power? I didn’t know you were so slow.”

I watched Sesshomaru started making his way towards me then started running. And something hit me, I can’t run as fast as I’d like too since I’m wearing a kimono, not hakama. Why did I start something without considering what I wear first? I feel idiotic, but as long as he can’t catch me then it’s fine.

“Did you say something earlier?” Sesshomaru asked, lifting me off the ground.

“N-nothing at all....^^”

He’s scary!!! How can he still be so quick without using his powers?! He’s truly a demon!!! Wait...He is a demon after all.

“What are you thinking?”

“Nothing....important.”

“And that is?”

“A secret.” I might end up dying after this is over.

“Hm...Then I have no interest in knowing it. One last ride before we head back?” He questioned as he signaled Ah-Un to come over to us.

“Promise you won’t go too fast.”

“Alright.”

Sesshomaru got on Ah-Un then helped me get on. This time it was slow but fun and we went much farther from the castle then expected!
