Fate's Decision
Mark of Ice
MY name is Fatomi and I am fifteen years old. I have long dark brown hair to my shoulders and somewhat blue grey eyes. I wear a beige green baggy pair of pants with a baggy white shirt with sleeves to my elbows. When I was a bit younger, I had a pair of sandals but after a while they got old and I started walking with bare feet. I am a demon without any animal origins. My parents were slaughtered in front of me when I was younger so I don't talk and have the tendency to zone out a lot. On the day of my parent slaughter, a demon all dressed in white with armor and a long fluffy thing had been there and watched. The demon that killed my parents had the name Naraku, the name of hell. He captured me when I was ten and I was trapped in his castle for five years. He hadn't done anything to me except for the occasional time I would defy him. Those times I had received a somewhat beating but I didn't feel it anymore. I had become mute since my parents were slaughtered. No one talked to me, and I didn't talk to them. There was a small boy with purple coloured silver and usually only stared at me, as if searching for something important. The boy's name, as I heard it, was Hakudoushi and he seemed to be of high intelligence. At the moment, Hakudoushi is in my chamber and staring at me as I stare at the wall with distance.
'Why does he come here all the time? I want to know but I don't dare to ask him.' Hakudoushi's eyes were white and staring at me deeply.
"I bet you wonder why I always stare at you, don't you Fatomi?" he spoke to me with his cold voice.
'I hope he doesn't wish for me to answer him. Only a fool would ask a mute to answer him.' A small smirk crossed my lips as the thought crossed my mind. I knew that the boy knew things that others didn't, like he could see what I could not.
"I shouldn't expect you to answer. A mute that has been silent for five years won't break that tradition. Of course I would only have to look at your heart," the boy laughed.
I got to my feet and pointed towards the doorway. I wished for him to leave, but he didn't seem to be interested in the offer. Hakudoushi's eyes looked at me with some interest. Naraku had always told him to look into my heart and see why there was sorrow always on my face, but never had he done so. Now he was beginning to become interested in what dark secrets I could be hiding. 'What is he staring at? Why won't he stop staring at me?' Hakudoushi got to his feet and then dared to take a step towards me.
"Now, why don't we see what kind of things you're hiding behind those distant eyes," he said with a small laugh.
I lifted a hand to hit him over the head and then my door opened.
"Now, now my young Fatomi, we wouldn't want to do that, now would we? After all, you are just a woman and have a weakness just like all the others," Naraku laughed from the doorway.
'I wouldn't want to push him to doing anything, but I would love to pound both of them right now.' Dropping my hand, I looked solemnly at the wall.
"That's a good girl. If you're finished with her Hakudoushi, I would like to speak with the girl," Naraku said almost kindly.
'Bastard, I wish you would rot!' I thought with a glare.
Hakudoushi looked back before walking out of the chamber with a slightly disappointed face.
"Fatomi, you still continue to defy what I ask of you. For this you shall be punished unlike any other time," Naraku laughed, taking a step towards me.
'Whatever. Let him punish me for not listening. If he was smart, he would just leave things alone and kill me.' I thought, rolling my eyes. I felt a slap against my left cheek and I turned my head slightly to the right. It didn't sting anymore, none of it did. Then there was a strike to my stomach and the wind was knocked out of me. I fell to my knees because of my loss of air and then I was elbowed in the back. Falling onto my stomach, Naraku placed his foot on my back and then kicked down, cracking my spine.
"If you weren't a mute and would scream, then maybe this wouldn't be so bad for you. Scream for me, beg me to stop hurting you!" he demanded as he rolled me onto my back.
I pushed myself to a sitting position and then his foot pushed forward so that my head was near my knees.
"Come on Fatomi. Beg for me to leave you alone!" Naraku demanded again, pushing forward a little more.
'Someone's coming down the hall. Please let them cine here to get this jerk wad away from me!' The footsteps stopped right before the door and then a knock came before Naraku could raise his hand to me again.
"Naraku, I have something to speak to you about. I think you will be fairly interested in it," Hakudoushi's voice came from the hallway.
'Why is he saving me? Why couldn't it have been someone else?'
"Very well, this wench was getting boring anyway," the demon growled before walking to the doorway.
When Naraku was gone, I felt my left cheek with my left hand and then looked up towards a window that was well hidden by boards. 'As soon as I know that Naraku is nowhere near me, I'm pulling those boards off and I'm getting out of here.' It wasn't long before that had happened and all was silent. 'Alright, now's my chance to get out of here!' I got to my feet and then jumped to the boards so I could rip them off. No noise was made by the actions and then I jumped to the window to climb out. Pulling myself up, I fell forward and out of the window head first. 'Aw crap.' I thought, flipping over to land on my butt. 'Well that didn't work out like I wanted it. Oh well, at least I'm finally out of here!' I thought with a proud smirk. Looking ahead of me, my heart stopped with what felt like disappointment. 'Not good.' I thought again, looking at the strange man with confusion. 'I don't know this guy, but I'm gunna assume that he's not going to want to be my friend. What would happen if I decided to right and run away?'
"A part of Naraku, are you?" the stranger's cold voice growled as he drew a hateful blade.
The stranger had long silver hair, black armor with a spiky thing over his left shoulder, a fluffy thing on his right, golden amber eyes, a blue crescent moon on his forehead, four raspberry coloured stripes on his cheeks, and a white and red hoari. 'Wow, this guy kind of looks like a girl.' I thought, forcing myself to suppress a laugh.
"Answer me wench," he growled again.
'Yeah that's right, ask a mute to answer you!'
My eyes glanced around, looking for a way to get around the demon. Before I could even find one, the demon's claw was on my chin, forcing me to look at him and digging his claws into it slightly.
"You are bruised. That would mean that you are not part of him, and not with him. Why would he keep a low demon wench in his castle is she is not good enough to use?" his voice said with a cold laugh to it.
'That bastard, I'll kill him!' I was about to dig my claws into the flesh of the demon and rip his guts out but he growled with a warning.
"I would not do that if you wish to be kept alive. If I bring you with me, will you continue to deft me?" he growled again.
Looking away from his gaze, I did not answer and that's when I paid for it. Another hand took hold of my side and started to squeeze, drawing blood. I gritted my teeth and took the pain until he released my chin. 'I will not answer him. I don't care who this guy it, I will not answer him until I get some sort of respect from him.'
"So, you are mute. You choose to feel no fear, to know no pain. You will come with me and I will have you speak before I'm through with you,' he growled, releasing his hold on me.
I felt my chin with my right hand and then gazed at him with agreement.
"I am lord Sesshoumaru. Learn it before you decide to speak."
Sesshoumaru turned away from me and started walking, expecting me to follow. That's what I did. 'Anything has to be better than living here.'
I followed Sesshoumaru for some time until he reached a river and turned to me. The current was slow, but the water was deep enough to stand waist deep. 'Why are we here? What does he expect me to do?'
"Bathe yourself before we continue. Your scent is filled with Naraku's and it most irritating," he said as I thought it.
'He wants me to take a bath right now? Even if I didn't take a bath it's not like I'll smell that bad.' Sniffing myself slightly, I made a face of disgust. 'Alright, maybe a bath would do some good, but do I have to have one with him here?' I took a step towards the river and then paused.
"Afraid that I might see you?" Sesshoumaru mocked with a small smirk.
'I knew it! All he wants is to see me naked! Well, there's more than one way to take a bath, and that's with your clothes on!' I thought with a small smile. I jumped in and then brought my head underwater to soak my hair. Then I came up and turned towards Sesshoumaru with my arms crossed so I could see his face. All I could see was a small smile and I was confused. 'Wait a second! I'm wearing a white shirt, right? Well what happens when white gets wet..? It gets see through!' I quickly covered myself and dropped to sit in the water.
"Well done mute," the demon laughed.
I crossed my eyes and imitated his words. Then I felt a grip on the back of my shirt and I was lifted off the ground. 'Aw crap, not good! He's gunna eat me!'
"A young demon woman. Are you that desperate for women company lord Sesshoumaru? I'd expect you to choose an older demon woman and not one so young and undeveloped. I personally would have gone for one with a full amount of milk, but that's just me," a young man laughed with amusement.
'What? Is that all men ever want?' I started to kick my feet and reached back to grab the demon's arms.
"Drop her Mukou. She has nothing to do with you." Sesshoumaru growled hatefully.
'Yeah well I'm gunna kill him if he doesn't put me down soon!' I thought as my right eye twitched with annoyance.
When Mukou didn't let me go, I took hold of his arms and swung my legs to flip him over me. 'Teach him to touch me without me permission!' My claw was digging into the back of his neck.
"What's her deal?" Mukou growled as he was almost underwater.
"It seems you hit the mute's soft spot," Sesshoumaru mused to himself.
I dug my claws into the back of his neck before punching him hard across the back of his head to knock him out. Then I threw him on his back into the current and glared as he flowed downstream slowly. 'Perverted jerk! What give him the right to talk about a woman like that?' Getting out of the river, I flopped onto my stomach to cover myself and closed my eyes.
"Does that thought bother you, mute?" Sesshoumaru mocked.
'Yeah that's right, mock me! You got dissed too there, you stupid mutt!' With a small smirk on my face, I opened my eyes and looked at him to show that I was thinking something amusing.
"Was that amusing to you wench?"
My smirk showed my fangs and again I paid for the action. Sesshoumaru picked me up by the back of my shirt and then took hold of my throat.
"You will tell me your name wench. If I wish for you to serve me my castle, then you will serve me personally. Whether you were a servant to Naraku or just a prisoner, you are a personal servant and enjoyment to me, understand?" he growled, lifting me higher off the ground by my neck.
'Yeah I got you and your number. It's either serve you or be served.' I tried to nod my head only to find it impossible with his grip.
"Answer me wench or I will fill you with myself and keep you for child bearing!" Sesshoumaru threatened.
'He thinks that's what I'm most afraid of. Ha! That's only a soft spot because that's how I came to be. I would never allow anyone, not even myself know that I was afraid of something.' I was about to break my own silence when I was thrown against a tree.
"Maybe I should give you back to Naraku. I'm sure that that worthless half breed could take the time to punish you." Sesshoumaru growled.
I got to my feet with a slight wince. 'That actually hurt! He's much stronger than that hanyou.'
"Then again, if I did tat Naraku would gain his own little woman back, and I would be losing a personal servant," he said mostly to himself.
When I went to walk away to somewhere else, I felt someone take hold of my wrist. 'What the?'
"Come mute.'
'If he plans on making me a slave then screw him! I'll be dead before I serve anyone hand and foot.' Sesshoumaru led the way through the forest to where he was meant to go. There stood the western lands and the castle he had spoken of. Though, it had been a long day of walking, there was still a ways to go before reaching that said castle. 'Why does he have to bring me here? I mean, I'm a demon too. It's not like I don't know how to take care of myself.' Suddenly Sesshoumaru's grip tightened around my wrist and a blue light surrounded both of us. Slowly we rose to the sky and the round ball of blue light soared towards the castle with great speed. 'Here I thought it was a barrier!' I laughed at myself. When we landed, Sesshoumaru pushed me forward.
"This shall be your new home mute," he said rather proudly of his lands.
'Oh wow, another castle. The only real difference it that this one has a real sky and not just miasma. Woo-hoo!' I thought as I rolled my eyes.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, you've returned!" an annoying, high pitched voice shouted with joy.
'Whoever that is, I hate them already.'
I was hit by a two headed staff and I grabbed the holder's hat with annoyance.
"Lord Sesshoumaru help! There's a mad woman at your castle! She's threatening me as we speak my lord!" the small imp cried with small tars of fear in his eyes.
'Threatening him with what? It's not like I'm talking to him at all!' I gave the green toad imp a glare and then dropped him.
"She is a mute Jaken. She will not be able to threaten you if she does not speak," Sesshoumaru said as he walked by and took hold of my wrist once again.
'I can walk on my own!' He led me into the castle and down a few long corridors before stopping at a room with a door directly across from it. Only then did he release me and open the door to the chamber.
"This shall be your bed chamber until you know your place. I do not expect you to leave here until I come for you in the morning. You are not permitted to leave this chamber until I personally come for you," he explained as he pushed me forward into the room.
He followed and closed the door behind him. 'At least it's not a closet which would be that imp's room!' I thought with a small laugh. I looked around at everything and saw the bed, some neatly folded clothes on the floor, a window above the bed, and the doorway which was behind me. 'Well this is kind of empty.' While I was looking the room over, Sesshoumaru threw me against the wall and then pinned me there.
"You will bear my mark, though it shall not be for mating you. It shall be proof that you are my personal property and no one is permitted to touch you," he growled kind of tauntingly.
'What is he doing? I'm pinned. Trapped, and I can't move to get away!' Sesshoumaru took his right claw and two poisonous fingers. My heart panicked when he pulled my shirt down to my collar bone and ripped the flesh into a jagged stripe that looked like an icicle. I winced as I felt the poison burn my flesh and his claws rip through it. 'Damn this sucks. Why do I have to go through all of this?'
"Night has fallen and I expect you to be in this chamber each passing night until I say otherwise. You must remember that you are my servant and mine alone, for whatever need it may be," Sesshoumaru said coldly as he took hold of my chin for a minute so he could see my bruise covered face.
I looked away from him because I felt shamed towards it.
"Know that I will not beat you like he has, but I have every right to harm you which ever way I choose," he whispered before walking out the door to the chamber across the hallway.
'So his chamber is right across from mine. Damn that sucks! It sucks even more than the fact that he's placed some sort of marking on my body!' A small yawn escaped my mouth and I walked over to the bed. Dropping onto it like a rock, I closed my eyes and started to fall asleep. 'Once morning comes, maybe they will be somewhat better. In fact, I think this has been the best day I've had in five years.' With that thought, I fell asleep and started to dream of the day my parents were slaughtered.
I was standing there, watching as Naraku was holding my father by his throat.
"Where is it? Tell me where I can find it!" he demanded, squeezing my father's throat even tighter.
"Father!" I cried, taking a step towards them.
"Don't Fatomi! Stay where you are!" my father commanded with a hoarse tone since he could barely breathe.
My mother was already dead. She was the first one Naraku had attacked as soon as he came to out hut in the middle of the forest. He had ripped out her beating heart and crushed it within his hand.
"Tell me where the pathway lies or I will break your daughter's little neck right in front of you!" Naraku growled with threat.
'No father! I have to do something!' I picked up a rock and chucked it at Naraku's head. His red eyes fell onto me and he smirked evilly.
"Impudent wench," he said coldly.
With the distraction, my father took the chance to try to attack Naraku with his claws and was thrown against a tree. I watched with horror as Naraku took hold of his throat once again and squeezed so hard that it broke and blood squirted out of the claw marks. I turned to run away and caught sight of another demon, though I could not place his face. 'Who is he?' Naraku's claws picked me up and dragged me to his castle. That's when I woke up.
'That other demon, who was he? I couldn't recall his face and now it bothers me.' The door to my chamber opened and I sat up to see who it was.
"So you already know when to wake up. Good, because I do not plan on wasting time waking you each morning," Sesshoumaru said coldly, looking at me with some amusement.
'If I'm a waste of his time then why doesn't he just let me go?' I was about to get to my feet when he walked over to me.
"You will wear the clothes laid out for you each morning. I will not have you wearing villager clothes while in my presence," Sesshoumaru said as he pointed towards the neatly folded pile of clothes.
'He would rather have me wearing servant clothes then?' The thought was amusing and it caused a smile to form on my lips.
"Change mute, or else I will change you myself," he said with a smirk on his face.
I got to my feet and grabbed the pile of clothes to change. 'I'm starting to think that Sesshoumaru should take Mukou's advice and go after a girl with milk.' I thought with a laugh, looking at the clothes he demanded me to wear. They were much like his. Only where it was white it was a light blue and where it was red and had flowers, it was a dark blue with vines. 'They'd be better if they were green, but blue is alright. Even though I would love to wear my own clothes.' I turned my head towards Sesshoumaru to see if he was watching, and he was.
"I'm allowed to watch my servant at all times. Still afraid that I might want to do something to that pure of yours?" he said a little too tauntingly for comfort.
'Pervert. I swear that's all that ever goes through a man's dense mind. Then again, they do have one track minds.' Taking off my shirt while facing the wall, I quickly put the light blue hoari on and threw my shirt on top of his head so it would cover his eyes. Before Sesshoumaru was able to take it off, I was already fully dressed and smirking at him.
"Very tricky mute. Now I know what to expect from you for now on," Sesshoumaru mused.
'I will throw everything back at him until he gives me some sort of respect. I don't care what for either.' My eyes wandered to my bed and saw the large amount blood from my shoulder and winced slightly. 'I bled that much over a stupid mark? Why hell would he want to mark me as his property anyway?'
"A mistress will clean your bed for you as well as your clothing. You on the other hand, will do anything I ask you to. If you deny to do any of it, I shall punish you just as I threatened the day before," he said sternly, looking at me intently.
'He's waiting for me to scream "Oh no!" or "Yes lord Sesshoumaru, I'll do anything you want me to do!" I'm not afraid of this guy!' When Sesshoumaru didn't smell my fear, he took hold of my wrist and pinned me against the wall, almost in the same spot as the night before.
"Tell me your name wench. Or else I will pry it from you," he demanded, growling as to make me afraid.
Still I did not become afraid and Sesshoumaru lost his patience with me. His lips captured mine and my eyes widened as he had done so. I started to punch the armor on his chest. 'Damn it, make him stop!' When he pulled away, I gave him a cold glare.
"Tell me, or I shall do more than that."
"Fatomi," I breathed, turning my head away from his gaze, "My name is Fatomi, you bastard."
