Yuki's POV

"Hm.." I open my eyes slowly as I found myself in bed alone.

"Awake?"

I look over at Sesshomaru, who's already fully dressed. "Yes."

"I didn't expect you to sleep in this late." He said, almost smirking.

"It was my first time. And you didn't even go easy on me." I pouted as I sat up on the bed, covering my bare chest with the blanket. I look around the room for my clothes but they're nowhere in sight. "And where are my clothes?"

"I did go easy on you, Yuki. I could go for another round or more but I didn't. I told the servants to clean it up." He said.

"What am I suppose to wear then?" I asked.

"You can stay like that until the servant bring you some clothes or we can go for another round."

My jaws drop at his proposal. "I'm going to take a bath." I mumbled as I try to get on my feet but not quick enough to move. Sesshomaru just picked me up suddenly, as the blanket fall on the floor. I wrap my arms around my upper body, mainly covering my chest. "Can't I at least get some privacy? Like covering my body up?"

"I've seen your entire body last night." Sesshomaru said in his usual I don't give a crap voice. I felt my face heat up before I can say anything he drop me into the tub.

"Are you trying to drown me?" I ask, pulling my hair back and wipe the water off my face so it won't get in my eyes. I grab my hair and bring it over my shoulders, covering the mark and bruises he made last night.

I swear I'm never Never ever ever ever going to ask anyone anything about sex, mating, and marking ever again! And that's a promise! Screw what everyone even the book says, it's painful! No actually beyond painful!

"What are you thinking about?" Sesshomaru asked, pulling me out of my thoughts as I felt his hand snake around my waist.

"Nothing...And why are you bathing with me again?! You never said anything about it!!!" I stated, turning beyond red as I turn away from him.

"Hm? I can."

"I don't care if you can, I don't want to..." I grumbled as I fought to get his hand off my waist. Why can't I even relax in bath without him torturing me after what happened last night? I don't think my body can handle all this and that. I let out a weird cry when I felt his lips on the mark again. Quickly, I turn around to face him.

I hate the fact that I have to look up at him everytime we talk. Why can't we be the same height?

"Stop touching the mark..." I sighed, calming myself down a bit.

A smirk dance on his lips as he bring his face closer to mine. "No. Not after hearing the moans that you're capable of making last night."

Moans? So those weird noises are moans? I'll have to find out what that means later.

"I...Uh...Um...Uh...I don't know what you're talking about." I lied, looking away from him. Shivers went down my spine when I felt him touch the mark again. "S-stop touching it already!!!"

Life isn't fair, why does he keep on finding new ways to punish me and I can't do anything about it?

"Look at me, Yuki." I took a deep breath before I look up into his sharp gold eyes. I bit my lower lip nervously since I can't read his thoughts right now. Hee surprised me when he cup his hand on my face. "Do you hate what happened last night?"

"I..um...uh...the bath feels nice?" I said, trying to change to subject only to have him glare at me. "I don't really hate but...it just feels weird. There was this odd feeling where...I don't want you to stop but... I don't know. It gives me a weird feeling that I've never felt before so-"

Sesshomaru cut me off by kissing me, it was a normal kiss, not the one where he was sticking his tongue in my mouth like last night. "That's all I need to know." He said as he break the kiss.

"Is it normal?" I ask a bit hesitant. More likely, I'm afraid of the answer. I mean, what if it's not normal? What if there's something weird or wrong with my body? I should have payed more attention when Aiko was teaching me all these things.

"It's normal. Does your body hurt?"

I felt a wave a relief wash over me as I shook my head. "Not anymore." I smiled.

He pull me closer to him into an embrace then stroke my head gently with his hand. "Your hair...is getting annoying." He sighed.

"I know, it's getting way too long for my own liking too." I said, then an idea came to mind. "I can cut off a few inches of it. Possibly a feet."

Sesshomaru just glared at me. I threw my hands up in front of me defence. "You said it's getting annoying." I said.

"Just tie it up." He sighed.

After a while, I got out off the bath after feeling a bit light headed. Then changed into a completely plain black kimono with white flower designs, white with black stripe sash, and a white obi. I haven't wore a plain kimono ever since after my wedding with Sesshomaru. It feels awesome to be wearing one again. Though the only complaint I have is that it's actually pretty it. It stops at my mid-thigh, which will be a bit of a trouble if I run or jump around too carelessly.

"Does this have to be so short?" I asked, turning around looking at Sesshomaru, who's also dressed completely in his normal clothes and armor.

I swear he must be really obsess with that armor and fur thing.

"It looks fine." Sesshomaru said, as he place his swords back on his waist.

"It's not fine at all. I won't be able to move around as I like if it's this short..." I mutter under my breath, while tugging the hems of my kimono, trying to pull it down some more. I don't like showing my bare legs, it feels weird. I've never wore something this short before.

"What are you doing?" Sesshomaru growled as he walk over to me.

"I'm trying to pull it down a bit, because I feel like I'm showing too much skin." I replied, continuing tugging the hem of the kimono. He let out a small, frustrated sigh then pick me up off my feet. To my surprise, he didn't throw me over his shoulder this time.

"You're not going to throw me over your shoulder this time?" I asked.

"No. Just as you said, you have more than enough skin showing. You'll only reveal more skin if I throw you over my shoulder." He said, walking out the room.

I form an 'O' with my lips without any sound coming out. "Where are we going?" I asked, as I suddenly noticed that we're outside the castle.

"..."

"So...you're not planning to tell me anytime soon are you?" I got no reply from him. Yep, he went to being to same old Sesshomaru that I met when I was back home. Speaking of back home...I wonder how Father, Aiko, Natsume, Aya, and...Umi is doing. “Sesshomaru...Are we going back to my Father’s castle?”

“Perhaps so.”

“You can’t just tell me yes or no, but it have to be perhaps?” I grumbled.

I know it's short but I'm currently brain dead. Sorry ^^
