Alone Pt 2
Chapter 3
Running fast into the night far away from the castle that held memories that would scar her forever, running as far as her legs would carry her they soon gave out after 30 minutes and she collapsed under a small tree that had so many leaves that if someone were to be in the trees no one would be able to tell unless they were moving.
Breathing heavily she closed her aching eyes and thought about what had just happened, she covered the wound in her leg that she had received from Hakinokustu wincing at the pain she slowly moved her leg in a comfortable position and tore a small piece of clothing from her shirt wrapped it over the spot that Hakinokustu had stabbed her in.
Resting her head against the tree trunk she tried to get up but fell back down from all the frustration and pain that had was going through her knowing that if she were to try again she would only fall down again she rested her back on the trunk of the tree and fell deep asleep.
Watching from the trees about 10 feet away from was Hakinokustu (Wonderful, just wonderful I already lost her and she isn't even mine.) He thought to himself looking at the beauty in front of him and wondering if he had any chance at all now. When he was sure she was asleep he crept closer to her as quiet as possible so he didn't wake her.
She always looked peaceful when she was sleeping but now she looked sad and lonely, her eyes seemed to twitch as if she were having a bad dream. He stared at her painfully knowing that he was the reason that she was unhappy but she didn't deserve to be cheated on either especially with a lowly woman that could never measure up to her. "I'll make it up to you and prove that I am worthy of you and your love." Hakinokustu whispered to Keai quietly in her ear, she stirred a little but remained asleep.
He scooped her up and carried her along the way down a small path that leaded to his house or should I say his mansion.
Keai felt herself being carried by someone, she didn't have enough strength to open her eyes but whoever it was he were warm, soft and took extra care so he wouldn't hurt her. She grabbed onto her carriers shirt and snuggled closer. Hakinokustu just smiled and continued to walk on towards his house, the breeze felt nice on such a warm day, the sun shining on Keai's beautiful face her jet black hair shined brightly and she seemed somewhat peaceful, her hair swayed lightly over her face and on Hakinokustu's face. (Her hair is so soft and smells sweet.) Hakinokustu thought to himself.
When they were just few feet away Keai began to stir, Hakinokustu was afraid she would wake up and leave him; he held her close hoping his body heat would put her back to sleep but it didn't work she just began to move more. He stopped for a minute and waited for her to stop moving and a while later she just turned and lay limp in his arms.
He sighed to his relief she only wanted to turn around, he preceded towards the door, when he reached the steps he almost tripped and he had to use his back to open the door as he climbed the stairs to his room Keai began wondering what he was up to she was really awake the whole time from when she started stirring and just kept her eyes closed.
She pretended to sleep for a little longer when he put her down in his bed; he lay next to her just watching sleep, Keai's hair fell into her face and she moved her hand up to her face but just laid it next to right next to her nose, Hakinokustu took this as a hint and swept her long, beautiful hair from her face he didn't mind it at all he would do that all day if it pleased her and truth be told Keai really didn't mind either his hands were soft, smooth and felt warm to the touch.
She smiled without knowing and he saw it too, he caressed her cheek with his smooth hand and when her smile got a little bigger he placed a small kiss on her soft, pouty, pink lips.
He longed to taste her even if it just a little bit anything would do he was getting a little horny just from looking at her, he couldn't take it, he wanted to rip off all her cloths and taste her right now, but he didn't want to ruin the only chance if that with her he would wait for her and then he would show her a real good time.
Keai rolled on her back her face pointing the other way. Hakinokustu horniness got the better of him and he decided that just a peek or something wouldn't hurt, he checked to see if she was really asleep, she appeared to be so he proceeded with his plan, Keai knew what he was up to but she wanted to see how far he would go so she kept pretending to be asleep.
Hakinokustu placed his hand on her cheek and whispered "I'm sorry but I just have to I'm going crazy." He let his hand slid down to her chest between her breast he could feel her heart beating even though it was faint he un-buttoned her shirt and took it off carefully.
Watching him from the corner of the closet the "Maid" or so he called her was watching, tears streaming down her eyes, remembering that was once her, she was saved by him and he lusted for her but ever since that unfaithful day 1 year ago he as never loved her "The same thing will happen to her." She thought it has happened to every woman that he has ever crossed when he loves them, they follow then his woman or mistress finds it and he no longer loves them, the woman is force to be his slave and watch him with another woman, when they become to old to work he kills them. Crying uncontrollably but silently now, the "Maid" slides to the floor, watching her once beloved taking advantage of another woman.
Sitting silently she watches crying, Keai can smell the salt from the woman's tears but remains were she is at.
Hakinokustu doesn't realize the smell because of the lust he has for Keai and continues undressing his new "woman", he was puzzled when he got to the bra but then he just cut it off, sliding his bare silky hands all over her body he sets himself on top of her.
Cupping her left breast with one of his hands and rubbing the rest of her body with the other, he begins sucking on her nipple, licking it and biting, he slides off Keai's skirt and panties. He stares amazed at the beauty before him (No wonder Suinoku fought so hard for her.) He thought to himself, She was fully naked, with Hakinokustu sitting on top of her without her knowledge, he caressed every part of her, and he wanted to know what her every curve felt like, he carefully placed the covers over them. He went lower and lower until he faced her Forbidden Spot, He rubbed it gently and placed two fingers inside, moving them in and out slowly enough not to wake her but fast enough for her to feel the pleasure.
He removed his fingers a few minutes later, licked the juices off his fingers and used his tongue, sucking, biting and licking her.
(Damn, he's really good with tongue.) Keai thought while trying to suppress a moan it was getting harder for her to pretend to be asleep he kept hitting the right spots she felt like she was going to burst.
Finally, she couldn't hold it any longer and let out a soft, sweet moan.
Hakinokustu heard the moan and knew he had her, her moan was soft (like music to my ears) he thought. Licking and sucking faster until he felt she was about to cum, he slowed down a little, practically making her hips beg for more.
A few seconds later she came into his mouth, he licked her clean, crawling up to her he whispered in to her ear "You taste so sweet; I could eat you all day and night."
He bent down to her lips and gave her a passionate kiss, Keai was about to return the kiss then she remembered the night when he tried to make her drink something foul and turned her head in disgust saying "Get off me."
He frowned at her and said "So you're awake…I know you liked it I heard you moaning."
Keai pushed him off of her and clothed herself, He just sat there watching her dress. (She even looks sexy while dressing.) He thought to himself, He stood up, walked right behind her and hugged her. Just holding her then he slowly let his hand fall down till it touched her forbidden spot, shocked she turned around and slapped him "You have no right to touch me there." Keai blurted out angrily.
"Oh but I do, you are in my house you will do as I say and I will do as I please you belong to me now."Hakinokustu responded
"I belong to no one so you cannot touch me. You touched me when I was asleep too you sick asshole."
She opened the door and walked out leaving him standing there, she walked out the door into the afternoon sun and headed in another direction, He stood there "She'll come back." He said to himself, he walked over to the closet to get out a towel (all of that talking made him exhausted and he wanted to take a shower.) As soon as he opened the door a woman with short, sandy brown hair, bright green eyes and pale but smooth skin ran out crying.
"Shorika, what where you doing in there?" Was what he asked but she didn't hear him, she ran out the door heading in the same direction that Keai went and soon she bumped into her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." She got up and bowed
"It's okay; I'm fine no damage is done." Keai looked at her and saw she had been crying she immediately recognized the smell.
"Aren't you the lady that was hiding in the closet?" Keai asked
"I'm sorry I was cleaning and I didn't want to disturb you." Shorika replied
"Then why were you crying?"
"Oh nothing, I just had something in eye."
"Bullshit, you were crying."
"Okay, I'll tell you but can we get as far away from this place as possible."
"Sure, do you work for Hakinokustu?"
"Not Really I'll tell you while we walk."
The two began waking away from the "Castle Of Pain" or so Shorika called it they were walking for about three hours when Shorika had finally finished her story, sitting under a tree the two looked each other they realized how much they had in common.
Keai hugged her and said "I feel your pain."
Happy, that someone actually understood her pain and sorrow Shorika hugged Keai back, she felt that she could trust her. They leaned against each other and fell asleep; Keai felt Shorika's hair brush against her face when the wind blew. (Her hair is soft and smooth, it smells like flowers.) She thought. (Wait I'm not supposed feel like this or am I? No this is wrong we're just friends and besides she would never like me like that, would she?" Keai opened her eyes and saw her sleeping peacefully, (she looks so sweet so beautiful and peaceful, I could never be like that." She said to herself
Keai closed eyes and fell asleep thinking about the woman that gave her weird feelings.
Shorika saw Keai looking at her out of the corner of her eye (She's so beautiful, I wonder if she even knows it, I shouldn't be thinking like this she is my only friend and I don't want to lose her but she gives me weird feelings much more intense then the ones I had with Hakinokustu. Still, I wonder if she's thinking the same thing maybe that's why she was looking at me.) She turned to face Keai, wrapped her arm around her and cuddled closer for warmth (I'll just tell her I got cold.) Shorika thought
Sensing an arm around her Keai faced Shorika and smiled (she's probably cold.) she said to herself, she wrapped her arms around Shorika still smiling and fell asleep.
Wrapped closely together the two felt some what of a connection and felt like they were in love.
-------In The Morning------
Keai was the first to wake up looking at the gorgeous woman in front of her, she shook her gently "Shorika, Shorika it's time to get up."
"Hmmmm, just a little longer baby." She said unconsciously
Keai smiled (I like that.) she said to herself
"Wake up Shorika, It's me Keai, we have to get going."
She rubbed her eyes and looked into Keai's jade eyes "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call you baby, I was just dreaming and well……"
"It's okay we all have our moments, now let's get going."
"Okay."
Shorika got up right after Keai and they preceded to walk to the next village, by nightfall they reached a small village who gladly let them stay in one of the vacant rooms they had to share one mat though.
To tell the truth they really didn't mind sleeping next to each other, Keai asked if Shorika wanted the mat but she said she didn't mind sharing, the owner thought they were lovers so he tried to be nice even though it disgusted him. They had to explain that they were just traveling together and they were just friends.
It was nice and warm in the room but they were still cold so they decided to go to the bath house for a nice well bath. Keai looked at Shorika shyly as she slid off her cloths and got into the bath, (wow she is beautiful, her body is perfect just the right shape and everything.) Shorika thought and she started to feel self-conscious as she undressed. Keai gazed at Shorika when she began talking off her shirt (Damn She's cute and her body is way more prefect than mine.) Keai turned away and looked at her self in the reflection on the water. When she felt Shorika looking at her she turned around and said "This is nice."
"I know this is so relaxing." She responded
They talked about random things for 30 minutes till they were tired and ready for bed, they climbed out of the tub, dressed and headed toward their hut, they slid the door open, laid down next to each other and said " Good Night."
They faced each other Shorika's mind was racing and she badly wanted to give Keai a kiss good night, she tried to suppress her love for her but she couldn't she looked at Keai and said " I'm sorry but I need to do this I understand if you'll hate me for it." She leaned forward and kissed her passionately and to her surprise Keai kissed back.
"I've been waiting to do that but I thought you would hate me if I did." Keai said
"I love you Keai." Shorika said seriously.
"I love you too." She replied
They hugged each other tightly, and kissed again then fell asleep. In the morning they woke up and said "Thank You." To the owner and left holding each others hand.
They walked through the woods and found a woman about 16, running towards them." Please help me; I'm being chased by a demon." She shouted and hid behind them.
"I don't know if we can help you." Shorika stated.
"Please, I'll do whatever you want just please help me." The girl begged and pleaded.
"We'll try but we can't promise anything." Keai said
No later had a very large demon appeared, with big grey beady eyes monstrous teeth and one very small head.
"Out of my way you worthless humans I just want the girl behind you, hand her over and I won't kill you.
"HA! You're funny, you kill me; you couldn't kill me even if I had one hand behind my back." Keai laughed
"You think you could beat me that sounds like a challenge. Well I'll take you on and if you can kill me that will be that but if I kill you I also get to kill your friend with the sandy brown hair, and of course I will take the girl behind you."
"Deal, do you want to start or shall I?"
"You can go but it will be your last." The ugly demon replied.
"Suit yourself." Keai charged at him, jumped up and slashed through his stomach, a trail of blood ran down. "Damn that really did hurt." He said
He ran at her and tried to punch her but she dodged the blow and kicked him between his eyes, stumbling back he roared with anger. He rubbed the spot were she had kicked him and withdrew his sword.
Keai pulled out her fan painted black with red waves on it (to represent a sea of blood.) and said "come and get me."
He ran at her furiously swinging with all his might, every time he swung he missed. Laughing Keai opened he fan, stretched it out and moved it back and forth. She created such a wind that the demon was knocked back and his sword flew up into the air and came down with a sickening "SPLAT." As it pierced through the demons head, crying out in pain he screamed "How could a mere mortal beat me." He then slumped over covered in blood with eyes bloodshot and wide he was dead.
"Told you that you couldn't beat me." Keai said to the lifeless corpse.
"Thank you so much I owe you my life." The girl cried
"What is your name girl?" She stated plainly
She stuttered a bit then said "My name is Hakumatsu; I am the daughter of Hakinokustu."
"Tell me why you are here instead of with your father."Keai asked
"He does not like me; he said he will not accept me as his half-blood daughter." Hakumatsu cried.
"Come there is no need to cry, I was not accepted by my father either and he is sorry for it." Keai soothed her
"Do you want to travel with us until we can get you a proper parent?"
She shook her head, "I want to travel with you please. I do not wish for parents; let me travel with you at least for a little while."
"What do you think Shorika?"
She turned her head "I want no part in this."
"What happened to your mother Hakumatsu?"
"She does not care for me either, I really miss her though, and I wish she would come back. My dad said she left when I was 4 and wanted nothing to do with me but I remember when she used to read to me at night. I don't remember what she looked like but I remember what she smelled like and what she sounded like."
Hakumatsu fell down to the floor crying. Keai looked at her like "I'm not going to touch her."
Shorika looked at her with a sad expression on her face then turned her back and said "we shouldn't have helped her."
Hakumatsu looked at Shorika and recognized the smell the same scent her mother used to have. She decided not to bring it up. "Please, let me stay with you guys." She begged
"Fine, you travel with us for a few days." Keai
"Thank you very much; I swear I won't get in your way."
As they walked on toward another village they all remained silent. Finally they reached a huge village filled with people way more than the other village. A fat man with a funny mustache and his plump little wife greet them as they were walking through town.
They stayed in a nice little hut for the night that the man and his wife had offered them, when everyone was asleep Shorika popped open her eye and looked for more information on Hakumatsu instead she found Keai's little black bag in inside was a notebook and a few other things but the notebook was what looked interesting she picked up and scanned through it most of it were journal entries very dark entries and on a few pages were poems that Keai had written. The two that seemed to stand out the most were the ones titled Alone and Dead. They went like this:
Alone
Alone In the world and again I bleed waiting to be heard waiting for someone to come save me but no one is coming so alone am I bleeding and waiting for someone anyone to come save me from my prison. In the night it creeps looking for me calling me into the eternal darkness that surrounds me, how it can save me, will it help or shall I bleed more. Swallowed into the dark abyss that once strayed far away from me it now holds me captive am I to be saved can I be saved far into the darkness is were I dwell that is now what I have become dark and empty waiting for someone to fill the void. No one comes so I am alone and so I shall stay waiting for someone to save me. Bleeding and waiting Alone in the darkness.
The second one that seemed to frighten her was:
Dead
If you are dead are you dead to the world or do you live on in others minds, if you are alive a do you live on in the dead or are you just alive, dead just the word makes some shiver but to me it is an escape from reality an eternal sleep that holds onto you ensuring your mind that it can now rest from the restless place we call a world. Dead it makes me wonder do we rot, do we go to a place so blissful that you never want to leave or do we enter the fiery pits hell in eternal damnation for the things we did wrong. To be dead sounds nice a break from the hell here on earth, an eternal sleep, a nightmare that holds onto you forever or dream so sweet that it can't be real. Think about it dead some can't wait and some want to hold onto life but what they don't get is that life doesn't last forever and at one point you will face death and when you do embrace it it's your only escape into pure happiness or hell depends on your life. So I ask if you are dead are you dead to the world or do live on in the minds of others and if so for how long.
She set the notebook down and went back to bed thinking of what could cause her love to come to that.
Chapter 4
In the middle of the night when everyone was asleep Hakumatsu got up and laid next to her mother, she knew it was her by the way she talked and avoided her.
"Mom, momma please wake up I know that I am your daughter, please wake up." She whispered as she shook Shorika. "Okay I'm awake, how did you find out."
"It was easy…….why did you leave me when I was little?"
"I didn't, I had to give you to another family or Hakinokustu would have killed you; I'm sorry my child but I had no other option."
"It's alright; at least we are together again."
"We can't be though Hakinokustu will kill us both I'm sorry but you can not stay with me."
Hakumatsu stared at her mother and started to cry, "I want to stay with you mom, other people don't like me, they throw things at me and call me names, it hurts, I have no where else to go and I want to stay with you." She cried through quiet sobs.
Shorika hugged her child and whispered "I'm sorry."
Hakumatsu cried herself to sleep in her mothers arms, when Shorika was sure that she was asleep she laid her down gently on her mat and snuggled close to her new found love.
The bright sun shined through the windows and woke up everyone Hakumatsu wined and pulled the covers over her head, Shorika stretched and laid back down but Keai got up. She poked Shorika in the back and said "Get Up." Shorika just swatted her hand away and pulled the covers over her head.
"Get Up, Shorika." She repeated
"No, I don't want to let me sleep for 5 more minutes; please." Shorika said groggily.
"No, get the fuck up it's time to go."
"Fine, just give me a second."
"Whatever, I will leave you here." Keai
"Okay, I'm getting up just hold on."
Hakumatsu was sleeping soundly, like nothing had happened she rustled in her bed but proceeded to sleep. Shorika just looked at her and sighed deeply; Keai looked at her suspiciously and continued to dress. When Shorika sensed eyes upon her she turned around and Keai quickly turned the other way blushing hard. She tried to conceal it but she knew Shorika saw her.
Blushing too Shorika looked at her said quietly "why are you blushing?'
Keai smiled and said "why are you blushing?"
"Because I can." She replied
"That's the same reason I am."
"Sure it is you were blushing because I caught you looking at me huh?" She said
"So what if it is." Keai said blushing even harder. Laughing Shorika looked at her and then looked way.
"God she is so cute, I love the way she blushes and giggles." Shorika quietly said to herself.
Keai looked at her and smiled, she heard what she said even though it was very quiet. She crept behind her waited a few seconds then tackled her, Shorika was so shocked she fell over with Keai on top of her; blushing a crimson red as she looked at the beauty before her...
