A/N: wow so many reviews! To be honest I didn't expect many (any) reviews since the first chapter did not get a lot. You guys make my day! _
Finally!
She thought as warm, thick, red blood was slowly oozing from the small hole in her stomach. She was surprised that she had last this long. Six months. But now it was finally her time to die.
But it wouldn't be a quick death as she had hoped judging from the one claw that was slowly twisting and drilling into her guts forcing screams to escape her pink-turned-blue lips. The pains that not only settled in her stomach, but throughout her entire beings. She was breaking out cold sweats. But it didn't matter. She would die in the end.
She just wished it would be fast.
She wouldn't hold a grudge against the torturer that seemed to take pleasures in killing her. It took too much emotion to care. She had no attachment to life nor to the world itself so it didn't make any difference to her. She would die, that was all.
She wondered if her body would be thrown to ravens for food? Or wolves maybe? Would she have a grave? It didn't matter. It was just a body.
In the past six months, she was allowed to walk inside the palace. She noticed the openly questioning faces of the demons as to why she was still alive when she walked passed them. But no one talked to her. Not that she would want to answer.
Sesshomaru often brought her new gifts. The gifts that she found useless.
Her room was decorated with all kinds of flesh and beautiful exotic flowers. She was once a simple girl, too, even though she did not obsess with flowers, she did think them pretty.
She guessed Rin must like flowers for the demon to have them in her room. The flowers that she no longer cared.
She often walked by a small pound that was surrounded by trees and weeds in an opened field. The water was clean, giving the crystal green color looking. It was inside the palace. It was quiet and out of sight. She would sit against a tall willow tree that its large strong roots dragged half way into the pond. She let her feet dangled into the cool water while staring into nothingness. She loved those moments of peace that she could be by and herself and alone.
Sesshomaru came to her every night as always, but lately he would see her during daytime too. He sometimes stopped by and gazed at her or sat with her in silence. There was no word exchanged. She didn't care.
He told her she was free to roam around inside the palace. It was good, to be honest, to be able to see things others than her own room's walls. She sometimes looked through the high, sturdy, thick walls of the palace wondering what it was like to be outside. But it didn't matter. Outside or inside the walls, there was nothing for her. Not anymore.
And then winter arrived. The servant brought her a big, beautiful, read rose that last for nearly a month. She did not know where he got the rose in such a cold weather and how it had last so long, but she didn't care. She felt sorry for such an elegant flower to be snap from its freedom and came to decorate some fancy room instead of living to its fullest life with its branch in the wild.
The winter weather had been cold and the demon lord noticed and ordered to give her anything that would make her comfortable. At night she did not have to worry about the coldness since there was always activity going on every night and his body heat kept her warm.
During day times she would sleep in, covering in thick blankets and then took a little walk latter. She stood beside the pond that was once filled with greenery, now covered in white snow and frozen ice. She wondered how cold and how it would feel to be sinking down that pond.
Spring soon arrived and the routines continued. She saw the demon lord sometimes during day times and he was as expressionless as ever. Same as hers.
She wondered why he had kept her so long, same as everyone else in the palace's silence questioned. Only Jaken seemed to not wonder about the matter, but she did not care to know. What good would it do knowing the answer when she would be stuck with the demon all the same.
And in spring he was planning on patrolling his lands. She did not care about what he did, but the demonesses servant tent to gossip and even if she did not care to know, she heard them. The same as how they talked about her, saying she used her sexuality to seduce their lord and had him wrapped around her tiny finger. That she must be good in bed and had been with many men.
Within those voice were hated and jealousy, she didn't know if it were because she was a human or if it were just because she slept with their lord.
They had no idea she how would trade place with them in a heartbeat if that were hers to choose.
But to her disappointment, she would not be free from him because Sesshomaru did not plan to portal alone. She too would have to tag along.
That was when the demoness lost it. She rushed into the human's room; rages cloaked her pretty face as she stormed through the door.
XxxxX
The human was sitting next to the windows, acting indifferent as usual.
"You whore!" Yoko snapped and slapped the human's cheek sending her crumbling and kissed the ground. Her fingers marked evidence guarantee to be a nasty bruise later. The human girl didn't even react. That pissed her off even more.
She went and picked the human up from the floor, lifting her tiny disgusting body into the air with her demoness strength . She had to end here! The slut that had changed her lord so much!
Sesshomaru never personally gave anyone gifts without reasons. He was not only allowed the filthy human to roam around, but he even gave the right to ordered any servants as she pleased like she was the lady of the west. He gave her the winter rose that grown only in the far land away down in the south. It wasn't easy to get.
And now she would be patrolling with him?!
What did she do to make him unable to keep his hands of her?!
She had had enough of the filthy human scents walking all over the palace as if she owned it. Worse, the scents of her and Sesshomaru's all over her body broadcasting to everyone of what happened each nights.
She had had enough.
It needed to end here!
She stabbed a claw inside the human's body, the girl refused to scream and that pissed her off even more. She hated the indifference façade the human girl wore. As if she had not a care in the world. She doubted she would act that way in bed when seducing Sesshomaru.
She would make her scream and begging for her death. Slowly and painfully.
She twisted her finger, letting it wandered inside, and cutting the girl's organs. The whimpered of the girl's was like music to the ears. The human needed to suffer the same pains she had been suffering all these times because of her.
XxxxxX
So she finally lost it. It didn't surprise her. The way the demoness had looked at her since the first day suggested that this day would come.
She partly understood how the demoness must have felt. To be so close to the man she loved and watched that man held another woman every night while she had to serve the very woman she hated most.
But she didn't care about the demoness's feelings. She didn't care about anything.
If Yuko wanted the demon lord so much she should offer herself to him. Nothing would change from killing her. After she died there would be a new replacement and another after that; just like her. There would be no end to the demoness's jealousy.
But it didn't matter. It was none of her business.
Whatever happened after this, she would be gone and free. She wouldn't hold any grudge against them because that would be too tiresome. That would require her to feel. She hadn't felt anything for so long. It better be left that way.
But in a flash, the demoness who was sneering before her was but a of pile limp body. The demoness's head was rolling on the floor. She found herself in a pairs of strong arms too familiar that she did not need to guess whom. Her kimono was now covered with both hers and the demoness's blood.
"Call for a healer. NOW!" he ordered sternly and the demons servant buzzed themselves to follow the order.
It seemed that she wasn't even allowed to die by anyone's hands but his.
I hope it was a good read since it did not have a lot happened. Reviews! Thanks for the read guys.
RinSess13: As I have said, I can't plan too far ahead and often find out about the story along the way as I write. But I did PM you as much answer as I know for now. ^^
Rairakku: It's in deed sad, but there's no other way to start the story.
Smpt: I hope this chap will be able to entertain you as well, _
Skyler: Thank you very much. I love to write stories that are not too cliché. Thanks for the review.
Hattaru: Then you guys have to help me and reviews *_^. Thank you so much for such a high praise. She is very angry because Shess have taken everything in her live away.
Ana: Thanks.
Icegirljenni: Me too. I love to read and find out the story along the way. Surprised me and with the thoughts of "wow I didn't think of that" make the story more exciting for me. The demoness was indeed dangerous, but because he wasn't around during the day to see her and Rin together. He usually didn't care what they think as long as they got the job done. :)
LP: Thanks a bunch for the review! there isn't much developments in this chapter, but next chap will be. I was hopping to draw a few tears. Keep reading. ^^
