Amaya’s bride

Part 2

*~*~*


“ Lord Sesshoumaru, please let us help your highness prepare for the wedding ceremony.”

Sesshoumaru eyed the two new comers suspiciously. The two servants shared a striking resemblance. It was clear to anyone that they’re related. The first one who spoke was a young youkai female wearing a black kimono with a deep red under layer. Her hair was put into a bun with two red feathers sticking out. The second one wore a kimono similar to her sister’s except that it was deep red with a black under layer. Her hair too was put into a bun with three black feathers instead of two.


“ I’m Yukiko and this is my sister Ume. We’re under our Lord’s order to help your highness prepare for the up coming ceremony.” The first female youkai bowed as she introduced herself and her sister.


“ Hn.” Sesshoumaru snorted with disgust as he heard the word ‘ceremony’. He wasn’t going to wed that ass hole because that stupid old man sold his son to him. He was planning to get out of this place when he had the chance. And when he does…the Northern Lord will face his deadly wrath.


“ Your…highness?” Yukiko asked uncertainly when the Inu youkai didn’t respond. She lifted her head up and stared at the beautiful youkai questionably. She and Ume where surprised when their master summoned them and put them to the task to dressed his Lord’s future wife. And with in seconds the whole palace was on alert as his Lord sudden announced that his Majesty’s wedding would start with in the next hour.


The whole palace was in chaos at the sudden news. Servants were running all over the place desperately trying to set up the ceremony with the limited time left. They frowned at the chains that were tying the Inu youkai to the wall. Why would their Lord chained his bride like this was beyond them but it seemed that the chaining really did get the Inu youkai angry.


“ Hn. Don’t even think about touching me onna!” Yukiko signed as she stopped her hand in mid air trying to reach him. Although the Inu youkai was indeed very beautiful and she did mistook him as a woman at first there was no doubt that the Lord of Western Land was one hundred percent male.


“ Your highness how can we help you dress if we don’t touch you?” Yukiko gave him a wryly smile. She could understand why the Inu youkai reacted this way but she just couldn’t stop herself from wondering what would his reaction be when he learn the truth about her master.


“ Hn.” Sesshoumaru glared at the now chainless handcuffs. The stupid spell engraved into the bracelet like handcuff was suppressing his strength making just a little bit more powerful than normal human was. This really pissed him off. He was the Lord of Western Land and he couldn’t even break away from two female servants! Sesshoumaru fumed as the two females finished taking off his white kimono and started to dress him with the ceremony kimono they brought with them.


“ You’re all set your highness please follow us.” Yukiko bow as she started to lead the way to her master’s bedchamber.


Sesshoumaru followed silently as he had another plan in mind. The two servant girls glided across the floor as they by past the great hall and in to the maze like chamber. He noted that it was the girl who wore the black kimono always do the talking, the one with red kimono never even spoke a word yet.

“ Hn.” He grunted and Yukiko turn her attention to the Inu youkai. She followed his glaze and saw that he was asking about her sister.

Yukiko sighed. It seemed like their lord’s bride was very observant. She didn’t really like to talk about her sister’s situation but if he was suppose to marry their master he’ll know eventually. It was better to let him know in advance than finding out later.


“ My sister Ume lost her voice long time ago and she doesn’t really pay much attention to the world around her…she is…in her own little world.” Yukiko sighed as she saw Ume stared in to nothingness. No matter how much she tried her sister just didn’t seem to want to wake up and she lost her hope some where down the line.


“ Hn.” Sesshoumaru tear his glaze off the mute girl and focused on his surrounding once again. It was not his problem anyway. They had being standing in front of a black wood door with carving of the sun and moon on it.


“ Your highness, we’re here. My Lord was waiting for you.” Yukiko pushed the wooden door open and bowed as Sesshoumaru walked past her and into the room. She slid the door closed as the Inu youkai step inside. Her duty was done and now the rest was up her master.


Yukiko smirked as she imagine how the Inu youkai going to react to her master’s true form. Then she winced as she remembered something…err…someone to be exact…

Damn! She had forgotten her lord’s mistress Naomi will be back from Southern Land today. Yukiko snorted as she remembered that unpleasant woman. She didn’t really like her master’s mistress since that woman tented to pick on her mute sister. Yukiko would love to see Naomi’s face when she returns to the palace and heard her Lord was throwing a wedding and the bride was not she.


Yes, she would indeed looking forward to that…Yukiko snickered as she imagine the looks on that woman’s face and pull her clueless sister along. They needed to help the other servants to prepare for the ceremony.
