Jade was sure she would never be able to stop looking at those furry things on Inuyasha' head. Small furry triangles that twitched to the slightest sound, Jade wanted to rub them. However she had the impression he'd behead anyone who tried.

But this was all while she stood in the hallway behind him. Once he turned around and she got a good look at his deep amber eyes, she forgot all about the ears.

"This is Jade," Sesshomaru said to his half sibling. "She was a gift from father's friends."

"So she's a whore?" Inuyasha stated it frankly. Jade winced at such a word.

"Quite the contrary." Sesshomaru smiled gracefully. "She's still a virgin."

Inuyasha raked his eyes over the girl once more, bringing the golden orbs to rest on her rounded breasts. Seeing this look, Sesshomaru cleared his throat. "Perhaps we should move into the dining area. Dinner is most likely ready."

"Yeah and you better have plenty! I ain't talking about those tiny little watercress sandwhiches or whatever that shit was you served last time. I mean I wanna damn steak or something! I'm hungry enough to eat a horse." Inuyasha went on, ignoring Jade for a moment.

"I shall remember to keep Ah-un under close gaurd then--" Sesshomaru's silky baritone drifted down the hall to Jade's ears. She was in a trance watching the smaller hanyou as he moved beside his brother so gracefully. He looked back quickly, catching her eyes with his and smiling lightly.

Dinner was a-- well was supposed to be-- a formal affair but Inuyasha was not in the mood for formalities. He was as hungry as he'd warned Sesshomaru and plates were stacked up several high around him as maid brought a new one as he finished. Sesshomaru said nothing until the hanyou was lazily resting in his chair, picking his teeth with a claw.

"So have you returned to stay?" Sesshomaru spoke the burning question that was on everyone's mind. The servants prayed that he was not.

"I have no reason to go back to what I was doing. With Kagome sealed on the other side of the well--" His voice trailed off into a mumble.

Sesshomaru had to surpress a laugh of relief at the ningen being gone. He had never liked her.

"I am happy to see you finally taking your place among us." Sesshomaru spoke softly. Inuyasha still wasn't clear on his brother's motives for wanting him to come here.

He had all but insisted on his coming here like this after Narkau's defeat, the jewel was once again in Kagome's body, and she was gone. Inuyasha had mulled it over for a while, putting it off till the monk finally married Sango and moved into Kaede's village. After that he felt his job as leader of the pack was done and he could at last move on with his life. Living with his half sibling couldn't be that bad. And if he killed him, Inuyasha reasoned, it would be doing him a favor.

"Well, why don't you tell me what it is you want from me?" Inuyasha looked up to see Jade hovering near his right shoulder, holding a tray of desserts.

"How very insulting that you think I would dare 'want' anything from you. I merely want my blood kin to be taken care of after such a long journey." Sesshomaru smiled, evilly. But somehow it seemed sincere.

"Uh-huh," Inuyasha tried to avert his eyes when Jade leaned over, her breasts half bared and rounded up almost in his face. He felt a stirring the likes of which he had not felt since Kagome.

He took the offered cake but his eyes were locked on a dollop of whipping cream that had fallen, rather on purpose or not, on the curve of her left breast. It beckoned him nearer, to lick it off and mingle the sweet cream with her salty flesh. He shook himself from the thought and shook his head. He couldn't allow himself to think that way, she was his brother's property.

Sometime in the dead of the night, Inuyasha lay on the bed in his new sleeping chambers and slept in the rays of the moon. His face was one of serenity and peace, but his dreams were anything but.

He could smell her, Kagome was in trouble. But, no matter how hard he tried to find her, he was having no luck at all. The hair on his neck stood up and he could feel the sweat beginning to slip down his face, streaking through the dust that caked there.

Suddenly a bloody scream ripped through the night, and brought the hanyou to his feet before his eyes were even really opened. He looked around, fangs bared-- daring anything to jump out of the shadows at him.

"Damnit" he said when he realized there was nothing there. The scream must have come from his dreams.

That same scream hit his ears again, splitting through his eardrum like a razor. "What the fuck is that?" He asked aloud.

In full protective mode now, he made his way down the corridor, into the darkness in the direction of the screams. Yet another one, not as loud as the first two met his ears and made him wince. "What the hell is going on? Is Sesshomaru killing someone?"

He had a funny feeling in the pit of his stomach. Why weren't Sesshomaru's gaurds also running this way when someone was in such clear danger. A soft hand touched his arm.

"Don't go there." Jade warned, her voice as light as whisper. "It is as our Lord likes it."

"What is?" Inuyasha stopped, staring at the lovely young woman in a sleeping kimono that did nothing to hide her curves and shape.

"It is one of the other concubines. She always screams like that when they--" She blushed and averted her eyes for a moment. "Lord Sesshomaru is quite large--"

"Gah! Hush, woman. I don't wish to hear anymore!" Inuyasha made a face. Damn that image would bring nightmares for sure, and he didn't even want to know what the demonic Lord was really doing to a girl to make her scream that way. Pervert.

Another hair raising shriek and her voice had started to crack. Was she sobbing? Or laughing?

"Can I get you anything?" Jade smiled, "Lord Sesshomaru said to make sure you were comfortable."

"I umm-- do you have any of those cakes left from dinner?" Inuyasha asked, not sure why. He wasn't hungry. When she nodded he grinned a bit boyishly. "Bring them to my room."

Jade hurried to get the requested cakes and Inuyasha rubbed his forehead, willing his manhood to stay still. Its new stirrings had made themselves apparent inside the hakama he slept in, and it was unwelcome.

He groaned inwardly, Sesshomaru was going to kill him for this. It was madness-- sheer madness. And he had no idea exactly what it was he saw in this girl, she was not so special that he hadn't seen a few better looking ones around. Kagome certainly had been...

"Don't think of her!" He scolded himself outloud as he shut his chamber door. "Just stop."
