Chapter 3 - Complicated Things
I awoken to the sound of nothing. That's right...nothing. There was no movement, no creaking, no nothing. I felt...different. I reached up and touched the top of my head to find...my ears gone...Wait...MY EARS?! I sat up quickly, ignoring the pain that flew across my back. What the hell did that priestess do to me?! My ears and tail were gone! I laid back down, sighing. I looked out the window. The sky was shining. I furrowed my eyebrows together. This isn't right. I counted the days in my head. Tonight was the new moon. Damn it. She caused me to transform early. I closed my eyes and I heard the door open. I wonder who it is. I felt a hand brush against my cheek to my forehead. I stayed still. I felt the hand go back to my cheek and traveling down. What the hell?! I opened my eyes, glaring at the person. That person turned out to be Naraku. I felt my cheeks flush and I looked at him.
"I see that you are awake now." he said.
He hasn't said anything about me being human for the time being. He grabbed both of my shoulders and pulled me up, causing me to groan in pain. I rested my head against his bicep, feeling the muscles under the skin move, flexing slightly. I heard him tsk slightly as he looked over the wound.
"Seems that you have reopened it."
"Sorry," I mumbled, "It's that I'm in my human form because of that priestess. Tonight is the new moon. I shouldn't be like this till tonight."
I felt him lick the wound again and I shivered. I felt his lips curve into a smirk and he pulled away. He placed a bandage on and re-settled my kimono. I laid down again and sighed. I suddenly realized something. I looked at Naraku and asked, "Do you transform into a human also on the new moon?"
He shook his head, "No. I don't. I'm different then the other half-demons."
"Really? I thought that since you're a half demon, you lose your demonic powers as well."
"I was born of different demons."
I raised an eyebrow, "Oh. That'll explain it."
"Do all half demons lose their demonic powers?"
"Yeah, they do."
He suddenly smirked, causing me to be frightened slightly.
"What are you thinking?"
"Nothing that you should be concerned about."
I clicked my tongue and nodded. He seemed different then before. I just couldn't place it. Was it the sun rays hitting on him or was it my human eyes? I lifted my hand up, playing with a lock of my now blonde hair. It use to be silver, but now it's blond. My eyes are a light brown and not crimson. I sighed. I didn't like being human, but I didn't like being a demon. I like being me. My own person.
"You're hair is much more prettier when you are a half-demon."
I looked at Naraku, my cheeks flushing.
"O-Oh...um...thank you." I said shyly.
What the hell is wrong with me? Did I suddenly like him now. He stood up and left, leaving me to my own thoughts. I missed him already. Gah! No! What is wrong with me?! Am I already in love with him? Urgh! Stupid human emotions! I pouted, laying on my stomach. I felt my eyes get heavy and soon enough, I fell back in the abyss of darkness.
=O=O=
I awoke again to find it dark. I blinked sleepily. I sat up slowly. My back didn't hurt as much as before. I stretched slightly, shaking out my hair. I didn't sense Naraku or anyone else. Was I alone?
"No you aren't." a voice said.
I jumped and whipped around. It was Hakudoshi. A small smirk playing on his face. Oh crap! Did he read my mind earlier?
"Earlier? No I didn't."
I blinked, confused, "Then why are you smiling."
His smirk grew wider, "Because I know something you don't."
He...knows something? That I don't? What? I rolled my eyes, "Whatever Doshi."
His eyes narrowed, "I hate that nickname."
"Well I think it's cute. So get use to it."
He came over and leaned in close, "I said, I hate that nickname."
I leaned in as well, glaring, "Well I said that I think it's cute. Get. Use. To. It."
He growled slightly and leaned away, crossing his arms over his chest, "I don't know why Naraku keeps you around. He should've killed you off long ago."
I grabbed him by his neck and pulled him close, hugging him of some short.
"I wouldn't talk if I were you Doshi."
"Let go of me wretch!"
"Make me!"
He growled and tossed me over his shoulder, in which I crashed through the doors and slammed against the wall. I cried out in pain when my shoulder connected against the wall. My vision blurred and I groaned in pain.
"Hakudoshi. What are you doing?" a cold voice said.
I felt arms wrap around me again and I moaned. My shoulder throbbed with pain. I didn't the voices as I nuzzled my nose against his neck, taking in a deep breath of his scent. I felt him move and only a thought came through me before I blacked out. Maybe...I do love him...but...it's too early to tell.
