Light's Thunder
Ch1: His lil Kitsune
I was their captive, their prisoner. The Thunder Brothers, Hiten and Manten, kept me chained in this room. They haven't touched me, which surprised me considering all the rumors I heard about what they do to women. I was a shy Kitsune Youkai that they kidnapped while they were "hunting", which by their definition meant slay every human that was visible. I was chained by my ankle in this small room. Manten, the ugly brother, brought me meals, which I refused to touch. Hiten, the handsome brother and the one I was terrified of, wanted nothing to do with me. I've been here for a month and I knew what they wanted, my shard of the Jewel of the Four Souls, but the problem was I no longer had it.
I looked up as the door slowly creaked open. I looked up and relaxed when I saw that it was only Mantin with my meal, but I froze stiff and gasped when I saw that his brother, Hiten, was right behind him. Manten saw my reaction to his brother's presence, "I think she's afraid of you brother." Manten chuckled.
"I think she has a good reason to be." Hiten smirked. I swallowed hard without taking me eyes off of Hiten. I had to admit he was good looking, but that didn't stop me from being afraid, I could feel his power just pulse right off of him. I looked away and laid my head down on my knees, my arms encircled my legs that were brought to my chest. "What's the matter wench, you don't feel like looking upon your master's face?" Hiten crouched down beside him which made me stiffen with fear even more.
"H-Hikari…" I said softly.
"Speak up wench. If you have something to say; say it to where you are heard." Hiten angrily jerked me up and held me off the ground, his crimson eyes burning into me.
I shuddered then courage flooded through me, courage that I never knew I had, "Hikari. My name is Hikari not wench. And I don't belong to anyone and you're not my master, so get your lousy mitts off of me!" I brought my open hand hard across his cheek. Manten dropped the tray of food he was holding in shock. Next thing I knew I was on the floor on my ass, I backed up against the wall away from Hiten. Hiten was wide eyed with disbelieve as well. I softly yelped when Hiten looked at me, I couldn't move, all the courage in me faded. Hetin crouched before me again. Hiten grabbed my chin between his thumb and index finger and he made me look at him. My auburn hair fell into my eyes a little. My almond brown eyes couldn't help but stare into his eyes that watched me so intensely. My heart started to race when he narrowed his crimson eyes at me little, then he suddenly smirked, "So you do have a bit after all."
"Brother, is she the one?" Manten asked.
"Yes, I believe she is Manten." Hiten said not taking his eyes off of me.
"W-What's he talking about?" I dared to wonder.
"I've been looking for a mate. A woman with an attitude and self-respect and considering how you writher whenever I touch you you're no doubt a virgin. Am I right?"
"Yeah so?" I pulled my chin out of his grasp.
"You're just the woman I've been looking for. Now that I've had a good look at you I have to admit you're a pretty good looking vixen."
"Please," I rolled my eyes, "You just want my Jewel Shard. Well, I hate to ruin your good mood, but I don't have it."
"That's because we already have possession of it." Hiten pointed to one of the shards on his forehead.
"Jerk." I muttered.
"Brother, should I fetch the lash?" Manten wondered.
"What for?" Hiten stood up, pulling me to my feet by grabbing my upper arms; he looked at his reptilian looking younger brother.
"Well…she slapped you." Manten said giving me a look. Before I realized what I was doing I placed me hands on Hiten's armor covered chest and leaned into him watching Manten. I gasped and looked up at Hiten, he looked down at me. I blushed and looked away. Hiten chuckled at me, he made me look at him by grabbing my chin again, "You really are a shy lil Kitsune, aren't you?"
"The lash brother?" Manten asked again. I looked at Hiten with a sort of pleading look.
"That won't be necessary Manten. This little Kitsune only "bit" me because she was backed into a corner. Remove her shackle, will you?"
"Yes brother." Mantin took a key from his armor and unlocked the shackle around my ankle.
"Why would you pick me, wouldn't you want an onna of your own kind?" I asked Hiten.
"They're nothing but whores. You have self respect. A trait admired by any man, even me."
"You're going to force me into this, aren't you?" I looked him dead in the eye.
"I'm might be many things lil Kitsune, but I'm not one to force a defenseless woman into submission." Hiten stated caressing my cheek with his thumb. "Of course I'm going to get to know you better before I take you as mine."
"What if I don't want to be yours?"
"You say that now…why don't you tell me what you want after you get to know me?"
"I guess I can live with that…" I said.
Hiten nodded and released me, he turned and walked away, but then he stopped and looked over his shoulder at me as Mantin got up with him, "Aren't you coming?" Hiten wondered.
"Uh…"
"You can't mean to tell me you wish to remain in this room chained up, can you?"
"No." I shook my head.
"Then come on…Hikari." Hiten continued walking with Manten behind him. I smiled some and ran after them; I stopped when I got to Hiten's side. I had no idea where these sudden bursts of courage kept coming from, because I knew not in a million years had any woman dare to reach and hold Hiten's hand, but Hetin didn't seem to mind much considering that he didn't glare at me, strike me, or even kill me.
I was probably losing me mind since I was terrified of him only five minutes ago and now here I was agreeing to let him court me and holding his hand. When Manten wasn't looking Hiten gently ran his thumb over mine in response to me grabbing his hand. I smiled shyly at him and he smirk at me. "Maybe he's not so bad after all," I thought to myself, "This couldn't be a trap…could it?"
To Be Continued…
This was going to be a one-shot, but then it would be way too long. So I thought I'd just make this a brief fanfic, if you any of you awesome readers think I should continue this please let me know in a review.
