"Please
Sir. We both know she wants this." I said to Seina's father. I
wanted her to be able to come. Everyone that knew her, knew that she
hated being kept in the same place for more then a few days. If the
Lord of the East let her come with me, she wouldn't ever be the same
place.
"I don't know about this. She is my only daughter, and
my only child." He sat down. He scratched his head with one
hand, and rest his head on the other that was in the form of a fist.
The question seemed so hard for him. Make his daughter happy and let
her travel and not be in the same place, or the alternative. Make his
daughter stay home where she was unhappy. He sighed heavily. "
Any father wants their daughter to be happy. And any father would
want their daughter to be as safe as possible. If it were anyone
else, I would say no. But since it is yourself, and you and your
father are trust able, she may go with you." He said and stood.
"I shall go tell her."
"Please Lord. I wish to tell
her. I've already told her, I must ask you something, and that I
would tell her of it when we were done discussing it." I said to
him and walked a few steps forward. He nod and let me go by to tell
Seina. Even I was surprised that it was so easy. I expected that I
would have to do some type of task to have her come.
Up in her
room, I sat her down. Since I knew she was going to almost tackle me
in the process of giving me a hug when I told her the news. Though it
didn't work, she was just as capable, which seemed to be her talent.
She could adapt to almost anything within seconds.
"There is
a catch." I said looking down at her.
"Oh? And what
would that be?" Seina asked me, as I knew she would.
"You must listen to everything I say. You are my responsibility now, and I won't have you wondering off to be hurt. Stay close by, and don't run off without telling where you are going, and if not private information, why you are leaving." I said, giving her a strict look and not letting it waver. To my words, she only sigh and nod.
"I finally gt to leave the house and travel around the country, but I still don't have any freedom." She walked over to the balcony and lean on the railing, her arms crossed over her chest, and her elbows on the railing. the wind was cold enough, that when she breathed out, it looked at if it were steam coming from her, and not just normal air. I could tell she didn't like it, I knew she thought she was basically going to be home, but without the four walls always around her.
"Seina." I spoke, Then my mind began to wonder. Mayhap this be the time to show little emotion. It may or may not help. I sighed, and she looked back to me, and he voice rang like a church bell, " Why are you sighing.." Okay.. maybe an off key church bell.
"You know that any couldn't stand to see you sad."
She gave the sarcasm that I never liked about her, though it did give her some charm: "Then lay down, if you can't stand to see me like this." She stood up straight and put her legs over the balcony, sitting there. My eyes slowly wondered over her body. Though my mind was a bit clouded with angry of her words, it was nothing that I couldn't push out easily. It was easy to get along with her, as long as she was in a good mood. It seems that she has not been in a good mood since the day she saved me- 7 years ago.
I
turn my back and left the room. It was bad enough to see her like
this. She was happy before, but now she looked as if someone close to
her just died. It was my fault and I knew that. Her father and I
agreed to those rules, and a few more- that I wasn't going to say
just yet- so that she would be safe.
As I left the room a small
black cat slipped past and went inside. It was female, and had two
tails. Black with one dark red ring on each tail, each paw. Even a
tiny diamond chest on it's forehead was dark red, and it's eyes to
match. "That thing isn't coming with us." I said to myself,
not letting anyone hear. I kept pace, not letting my mind wonder.
Keeping focus on what a good Lord would do, I must do the same.
Just as I was about to turn the corridor, I heard her voice. I heard Seina's voice. Though it wasn't close. She was still in her room, but I could hear her... she was singing. Nothing that I have ever heard, from anyone, anywhere.
"The
words. I must heard the words." I said. Knowing how she thinks,
to know how she feels. Turning, I made my way back to the door to
hear-
"...Why?
The door was open, then shut
again.
My wings have been clipped again.
Left to hope in the
dark..
Nothing to be obtained.
Take me away.
Away to the
world.
I'm not a secret.
Don't treat me that way."
I
open the door. Whether she was done or not.
"Is this really
how you feel?" I asked.
She spun around shocked. Cheeks
red.
"I didn't know anyone was listening." She stammered
a bit, nervous was her only expression.
Slowly making an approach,
"Seina. Tell me. Is that how you really feel?" I asked once
again.
She turn and took a step away. "I only sing what I
feel inside. No less." She answered, but not the words I wanted
to hear.
She turn to look at me, as I sigh heavily.
"Sesshomaru.
I understand that you didn't make the terms,. I also know you will
uphold to every promise you made." she turn back around and left
to her balcony.
There was nothing I could do. She was right, I
would uphold to every promise I had made- as best I could, die
trying. Nothing I could say would make her feel better. Therefor...I
had nothing to say.
