Dominiance

Over the next couple of days, generals of Sesshomaru’s army began to appear. The first one had arrived the next morning. It was General Ko, Sesshomaru’s second in command. Sesshomaru had been there to greet him while Auko still lounged about in bed. She wasn’t exactly looking forward to meeting these demons. She and Sesshomaru had discussed the issue last night. It would be best if she stayed in the garden with Rin and leave them to discuss whatever it was they needed to talk about. They would only talk when necessary. Auko had been satisfied with that idea.

When Auko finally did get up, she hurried to take a quick bath then went back to her and Sesshomaru’s room. She opened her closest and looked at her choice of clothing. Her expression went from tired to depressing. She didn’t want to wear a kimono, but she would for the sake of Sesshomaru. Pulling out a royal blue one with white lilies, Auko walked over to the mirror and held it against herself. Deciding it was nice enough she took off her bathrobe and slipped it on.

Auko looked at her finished appearance. The robe and been pulled over tight so as not to expose to much skin in front. Her hair was pulled up into a bun held together by two sticks (I don’t know what they’re called). Around her neck was a very short necklace with a small sapphire on the end [one from her own collection]. There was only one thing bothering her. She slipped on some sandals and headed to the tailor's. Auko told him what she wanted done and after approving the adjustments, went to the garden. Sesshomaru probably wouldn’t like it, but she really didn’t care.

Sesshomaru didn’t like it….but did at the same time. The demon had excused himself for a moment to check on something, running into Auko on her way out. He stopped in his track when his eyes saw the modification. Auko smirked at him, knowing what was going through his mind. To make it worse, Auko put a hand on her hip and stretched out her leg so that it was exposed. Sesshomaru grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into a deserted hallway.

“What do you think you’re doing?” his voice was hushed so now one could hear. Its tone told the human he was annoyed.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Auko stated, trying halfheartedly to make it sound like she truly didn’t.

“Go change, right now.”

“No.”

“What do you mean, ‘no’? I don’t want you wearing that. Now go change,” his voice held a warning to it.

“I don’t want to. I like it the way it is.”

“Well I don’t.”

“Why?”

“Because.”

“Just say it. You don’t want anyone else getting a good look, do you?"

“If you know that, then why won't you do as I say.”

“Because if I have to wear this, I’m going to at least make it comfortable.”

Sesshomaru grunted and looked down to her legs at the opening. She had had a slit made, all the way up to the middle of her thigh, exposing all of her leg down if she spread them far enough apart. There was one on the other side as well where the material folded over. It didn’t go quite as high though. The demon lord knew no one would dare touch her once they smelled his scent on her, but he still didn’t want them looking at her.

“Fine, but if I catch you prancing around like a slut, there will be consequences. And you won’t like them at all.”

Auko knew he was being serious, “Don’t worry, I won’t. I’m all yours and ONLY yours.” Auko grabbed his face and gave him a kiss on the lips.

“I’m glad you know that,” Sesshomaru said with a smirk, feeling not as upset. “I have to go back to work, but I’ll being keeping my eye on you.”

“Good.” Auko gave him one final kiss before he walked off. She then went to find Rin.

After three days, all 7 generals had arrived. For three whole days, Auko wore those stupid kimonos. She’d gotten looks from some of the younger demons amongst the group and Sesshomaru did his best not to whip around and give them all broken jaws. It made him feel better when Auko brushed them by not really paying any attention to them. They stopped paying any real attention to her as well when Tork stayed at Auko’s heel. The large wolf demon was a sure sign that the human was off limits.
t nit night, Sesshomaru came in well past nightfall. Auko stayed up waiting for him. When he finally did enter their bedroom, she saw how tired he looked.

“Are you OK?” she asked walking over to him.

“I’m fine,” Sesshomaru said quietly, moving to the dressing screen to change.

“Well you don’t look it,” Auko stated as she walked over and sat on the bed. She peeled back the covers and sat in the middle against the headboard.

Sesshomaru emerged from behind the screen in some new pants for bed. “I’m just tired. I’ll be fine in the morning.” The truth was he had a headache from all the arguments and planning. His brain was doing overtime.

“Come here, I’ll make you feel better,” Auko said while patting the space next to her.

“I’m not in the mood for foreplay.”

“That’s not what I was going to suggest.”

Sesshomaru hesitated a second before to the spot directed. Auko directed him to lay on his stomach, which he did. The bed shifted as Auko climbed on his back and brushed his hair over to the side off his back. Sesshomaru closed his eyes and rested his head on his arms. The bed shifted again as Auko got something out of one of the nightstands and them moved back on top of him.

Soon, Sesshomaru felt her hands on his back, covered in lotion. Auko massaged the moisturizer on his shoulders and back and around his neck. She could feel his tense muscles and worked on relieving that stress.

“Mmmmm…….that feels good Auko,” Sesshomaru said half as.
.

“I knew you would like it.” Her hands ran up his neck and behind his ears where his headache was. The demon was thoroughly enjoying her ministration.

The treatment only lasted about 20 minutes before Sesshomaru fell asleep. He had been too comfortable and relaxed to stay awake any longer and ended up dozing off. Auko stopped what she was doing and put the lotion away. She walked around the room, blowing the candles out the normal way before climbing in bed next the silver-haired demon. He woke up for a moment, only to cuddle close to her and then fall back asleep. It didn’t take long for Auko to do the same.
