"Naraku, we will be lenient, so consider yourself lucky. You are banished to the Felidae Mountains!"
Banishment? Is that really the best they can do? Naraku just attempted high treason and he gets banished? My punishment is much worse!
"My darling daughter Kagura, I will come back for you," Naraku says and the fact my name falls off his nasty lips makes me want to vomit but then I'll have to clean it up. The Lord of the castle glares at my "father" and I can barely contain my smirk.
"Your darling daughter is now my servant Naraku. You may leave," and with that he is escorted out of the castle, out of the kingdom and hopefully out of my life.
"Kagura, follow me to my chambers," the Lord states and walks ahead without even checking if I'm following. I'd run but the guards are watching me.
The Lords chambers are a mess. Truly an understatement. The bed is torn to shreds, the walls are full of scratches, shreds of clothing are everywhere, there is blood and other fluids throughout the room, and it smells heavily of sex, nearly choking me as my demon senses breathe it in.
"Clean it up," he said and then walks away. Clean it up? I want to puke! Twice in one day must be a record I guess.
It's sad, Naraku gets to run around free as a bird and I'm stuck as a lowly servant. Pulling out my fan, I use it to make a small tornado that picks up all the scraps but then a guard walks by and plucks the fan right out of my hand!
"This is mine now," he says and I growl knowing fighting back will get me killed. Perhaps I want to die though, would be much better than this existence. Then he walks away leaving me to pick up this mess by hand.
"This will take hours," I can't help but mutter. Feeling uneasy with the door open, I step in and close the door. Luckily the wind from my fan cleansed the air so I'm not dying but I open the window for good measures. Touching my hair I feel my feather in place. Maybe I can hop on and escape without anyone noticing? But then I see even more guards, these not in humanoid form, flying in the air and I wouldn't stand a chance, especially without my fan.
There's a knock at the door.
"Hurry and clean the Master's room! We are expecting guests soon!" An elderly voice states while opening the door.
"What are you doing?! Clean right now!" She exclaims loudly pushing a broom into my arms and hurriedly gathering the sheets.
"Start cleaning! Do you wish to be punished?!" Her voice was seriously hurting my ears.
Thankfully she left me to clean the "Master's" stupid chamber. Then I'll be presented as a servant in front of these guests.
I guess I have to accept my fate.
I'll never be free.
