Chapter 3: Terms Of Agreement

(The next morning, Raven's POV)

I woke in strong arms, with something furry around me, and I snuggled more into the person who was holding me. "Ming," Sesshomaru said,

"Yes, my lord?" Ming asked,

"Does Raven normally sleep this long?" Sesshomaru asked, as I opened my eyes,

"Sometimes, she's awake now," Ming, said, as Sesshomaru looked at me, and I snuggled into Sesshomaru.

"Hm, Raven your awake, did you sleep well?" Sesshomaru asked,

"I slept better than the past seven years," I said, "Because I'm no longer property to Lord Daki," I finished, as Sesshomaru nodded, then I saw a young human girl, and I went over to her. I picked her up, and walked back over to Sesshomaru, I sat next to him, and held the young human girl waiting patently for her to wake. Soon she did, and her hands grabbed small fistfuls of my kimono.

"Who are you?" the child asked,

"My name's Raven, what's yours?" I asked,

"My name's Rin!" Rin said, I smiled,

"That's my friend, Ming, she's about your age," I said, as Ming got up, and started to play with Rin. I rested my head on Sesshomaru's shoulder, and sighed.

"What is it?" Sesshomaru asked,

"I feel safe with you, I didn't with Lord Daki, and I've always wanted to live in the Western Lands. I didn't care if I was a servant, or a villager, I just wanted to live on your lands, and I've always been treated like trash. I just wanted to be treated like someone," I said, as I looked out the window, and saw men training, "Are we already at your castle, My Lord?" I asked,

"Yes," Sesshomaru said, then I felt something awaken inside me, I ignored it, and kept watching the men train, laugh, and have a good time. I felt a single tear slide down my cheek; my freedom was, taken from me when I was ten, I felt Sesshomaru whip the tear away, I turned around, and wrapped my arms around him. Then I started to sob into his hari, he rubbed my back, and I started to calm down.

"Thank you, Sesshomaru-sama," I said, as he smirked, he tilted my face up, and kissed me on the lips. I kissed him back, but some giggling made me pull back, and blush.

"Raven-chan, you're turning pink!" Ming said, with more giggles, and I hid my face in my hands. Then I showed my emotionless mask, and Ming smiled. "I'm sorry Raven-chan," Ming said, as she hugged my leg, I nodded, and she went back to playing with Rin. Then the carriage stopped, and a soldier opened the door. I got up, and looked at the soldier,

"Shion?!" I whispered, as I backed up into Sesshomaru,

"Raven?!" Shion said, as Sesshomaru pulled me out of the carriage, -even though I was clinging to him- I wasn't letting go, until Shion grabbed my ass, "I've missed you," Shion said, I slapped him, kicked him, and punched him.

"NEVER TOUCH MY ASS!!!!!" I yelled, at Shion, then I felt Sesshomaru's hand on my ass, I just turned around and lightly punched his shoulder. He tucked some of my hair behind my pointed ear, and he walked over to Shion.

"Shion, Raven is my chamber maid, Do not touch her, if you want to live," Sesshomaru threatened, Shion nodded, and stood up, but he fell to his knees soon after. "Kenta, Katsu, escort Shion to the healers." Sesshomaru said, calling the soldiers attention away from my ass, and breasts.

"Right away My Lord!" they said in unison, as they picked up Shion, and carried him to the healers. Sesshomaru picked up a box, and handed it to me, I smiled, and opened it. It was a picture of Sesshomaru standing above all youkai's with me by his side, and all the youkai's where bowing to him, because he had become the great youkai lord; ruler off all youkai's.

"I've been working on this for five months," I said, as Sesshomaru nodded, "But it's still not finished," I finished, as Sesshomaru smirked,

"I'll give you all the time in the world to finish that, and all your other drawings," Sesshomaru said, I smiled, as I leaned up, and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you Sesshomaru-sama!" I said, Sesshomaru smirked, more,

"If, you let me claim your innocence," Sesshomaru finished, I gasped, I was frightened, and Sesshomaru saw it in my eyes, "If you don't want me to take your innocence now I'll wait until your ready," Sesshomaru finished,

"Alright," I said, as he smirked again, and picked me up. He carried me to a room, and placed me down on the bed. He got on top of me, and started to kiss my neck, I started to moan a little, as he licked my neck.

"You will stay in the room across the hall, and do what I tell you. But stay in your room when I go into heat," Sesshomaru said, I nodded, as I pulled his face to mine, and I kissed him on the lips. He kissed me back, then there was a knock on the door, Sesshomaru ignored it, and kept kissing me. Then the door opened to reveal a soldier, I looked, and whined into the kiss, telling Sesshomaru one of his soldiers was standing in the doorway. Sesshomaru pulled back, and looked at the soldier, "What?!" He growled, his eyes red, I whimpered, as I snuggled into Sesshomaru's chest, and Sesshomaru calmed down.

"My Lord the men where wondering if we could fight against the woman you brought back with you," the soldier asked, Sesshomaru looked at my clothes, then looked back up to the soldier,

"She'll be out in a few minutes," Sesshomaru said, as the soldier nodded, bowed, then left. "Raven, I want you to change into different clothes," Sesshomaru said,

"Who's clothes?" I asked, as I looked up at him,

"Mine," Sesshomaru said, as I nodded,

"I like your clothes," I whispered, as Sesshomaru kissed my neck,

"What do you like about my clothes?" Sesshomaru asked,

"Everything," I whispered, as Sesshomaru kissed my cheek, then he got up, and walked into his closet. When he came out, he had one of his white and red haris, a pair of his white hakumas, a pair of boots, and some armor. He walked over to me, and pushed my kimono off my shoulders. I tensed a little,

"Relax," Sesshomaru whispered, as he nuzzled my neck, and helped me calm down. He pulled my kimono off my upper body, and picked up the white and red hari top. He put that on me, as I pushed my arms threw the sleeves; he then untied my obi, and opened my kimono. I blushed, as he kissed my thighs, then he picked up the white hakumas, and put those on me. I tied the yellow and purple belt, into a bow, as he slid my sandals off, and put the boots on my feet. I smiled, as he picked up the waist armor, I stood up, and he tied the waist armor around my waist. Then he picked up the chest armor, and he put that over my chest. Then I walked across the hall, and opened a box, I pulled out four swords. I put two on my belt, and two on my back.

Then Sesshomaru walked into my room, I turned to face him, and he started to walk to the front gardens, I followed, as I used my magic to make the armor fit me more comfortably. Then I caught up to Sesshomaru, and he smirked, at how well his clothes showed off my figure. The soldiers stopped what they where doing, and waited for me to attack. I looked at Sesshomaru, he nodded his head, and I charged at his soldiers. I punched one, kicked another, and head-butted a third. The other men smirked, as they took out small daggers, and I pulled out ninja daggers. I landed on a tree, and pushed off, as I jumped between two trees, I created a web, of vines, and the soldiers where staring at the web. I started to create a wall of vines, around the men.

Occasionally some of the men would fly over the vine wall, because I threw them, but most would be thrown into the vine wall, and the vines would wrap around them, so they couldn't keep fighting.
