Several minutes passed and eventually the two men left the bath, least they turn into shrivelled prunes. As they dried themselves and began to clothe, Souji put a brotherly hand on Ichigo's shoulder, causing the younger man to look up at him.

"Perhaps it is not my place to say so," Souji locked eyes with him, unnaturally serious. "But, I will tell you this anyways. Whatever Lady Amaterasu has spoken with you, is between the two of you and it would benefit you to keep it that way. She is regarded as one of the most benevolent of Rulers in this world, therefore, I would bid you heed her."

Ichigo opened his mouth to respond but Souji quickly put up a hand to silence him. "At the same time, she is known to be rather possessive of what she deems hers. I tell you this, not to turn you against her but to set you aware. She will undoubtedly find some way to tie you to her. She did the same to me."

"She did?" His face lifting in surprise.

Souji nodded in bemusement. "Do you remember the Nue I spoke of yesterday?" At Ichigo's nod he continued. "I will not bore you with the details; however, it has caused me no small grief from other Yōkai a number of years ago."

"I don't think she's a bad person," Ichigo finally admitted after a moment's silence.

"No she isn't," Souji agreed. "Quite the opposite, as I said. Still, it is best that you keep yourself aware. She's quite gifted in getting what she wants. And she is infamous for holding grudges."

Thinking back to the legends of Amaterasu's brothers, Ichigo quickly came to concur with Souji on that last point. Still, the conversation he had with her, illuminating that it was, was nothing if not outright comforting.

"Ah," Souji smacked a fist into his hand. "Speaking of terrifying members of the fairer sex, we have a scheduled check in with our Queen later this morning."

"Sure," Ichigo replied nonchalantly. Frankly, he was far from being at ease. If Souji let drop that he had randomly awoken naked while on a diplomatic mission, the intimidating woman would have his hide.

Yasaka was practically trembling as the hour for breakfast approached quickly. The former Shinsengumi Captain had cited an excuse of previously accepting an invitation to have breakfast with an old friend and Kunou had departed for school, which left her all alone with her…husband.

A shiver passed through her.

The moment Ichigo had shown signs of awakening and his eyelids began to flutter, she had fled the room, not caring that she was entirely bare. Using her supernatural speed, she had sped through the castle and locked herself away inside of her study. Summoning a servant to escort Ichigo to the baths, she managed to return to her personal quarters and dress herself appropriately.

Sitting at her vanity, her hands shook as she brought up a brush to her luscious blonde hair. The stroke of her hands was oddly soothing in the face of the inevitable confrontation. There was a knock on the door and Yasaka nearly dropped the brush in surprise. "My Lady? May I enter?"

Quickly regaining her bearings, Yasaka spoke clearly. "Enter."

A young girl with mousy brown hair and equally brown eyes walked over to her.

"I have done as you instructed, Hime-sama. Ichigo-sama is within the baths. Also, Souji-sama has joined him."

"Very good, Umeko." Yasaka said, handing the brush to the girl, who continued trailing down her long strands of gold in her place. "Is everything prepared for breakfast?"

"Yes, milady. The cooks have prepared a copious amount for our guests to enjoy." Umeko replied.

"Oh," Yasaka held up soft fingers to her mouth. "I forgot to have them informed that Souji-dono will not be joining us. No matter, it will make little difference."

Having judged her hair to be sufficiently groomed, she manifested her tails, allowing her attendant to minister to their thick fur. "I am sure Ichigo-dono won't terribly mind the extra extravagance."

From her view into the looking glass, Yasaka was surprised that the young girl's countenance had taken on a slight blush. Though, she seemed to be doing her best to fight it down. "Is there something the matter, Umeko?" she asked as a delicate brow rose.

"Ah," The girl's eyes widened in surprise. "No, ma'am. It is nothing."

"Tell me," Yasaka commanded.

Umeko's blush increased in colour and Yasaka felt something churn in her as the she could see what the girl was thinking quite plainly without a word being spoken.

"It's just that," She stammered slightly before continuing in a much quieter voice. "Ichigo-sama is quite aesthetically…pleasing."

Yasaka had to fight the urge to groan out-loud. Not even married for twenty-four hours and her new husband was already seducing the maids, granted, he was woefully ignorant of his new marital status. Yasaka's eyes travelled to her bed.

The one with brand new sheets, pillows and mattress. The image of his naked body glistening in his slumber took form as the predominant thought in her mind. She tore her eyes away and looked into her lap, a slight colour being added to her own face.
