Moe: Okay everyone, I realize that Shipo is also a fox demon. But he and Suri are different. Shipo is a red fox and Suri is an artic fox. Artic foxes change to black in the spring and summer time. I just wanted to clear that up :) Now let's begin. I do not own InuYasha or any of its characters.

(ONE WEEK LATER)

Even after being here this long, I still didn't know why and I didn't exactly understand what was expected of me.

Nobody told me anything.

Every morning a servant would wake me up. Then I was told when to come to each meal. But that was it. I remained in my room day in and day out.

I didn't eat with the servants nor did I eat with Lord Sesshomaru. I was by myself. Left alone to do nothing. Every day for 7 days. Finally I got bored of staying in my room.

After lunch I took a few unknown turns, purposely getting myself lost.

'Maybe the Lord will come rescue me.' I thought. 'Wait, what? Just shut up! That's such a dum-'

Suddenly I ran face first into something. I fell on the ground, landing on my wrist at an odd angel. I yelped out in pain. But turned my attention back to what I had ran into.

"Are you okay?" A blue eyed, blond hair, young man asked me.

He reached down for my good hand and pulled me to my feet. I stumbled and fell into his arms.

"I am so sorry!" I cried, pulling away just as my face turned beat red.

"Don't be." He laughed. I watched in awe as his eyes lit up.

"Um… I'm Suri." I bowed.

"The Fox." He smirked, holding out his hand to shake mine. "I'm Atsuo. Is your hand okay?"

I didn't realize I had been holding my injured wrist.

He took my other hand, leading me down the hall the way I came. He opened one of the many doors and pulled me inside.

It was a bedroom.

"Uh…" I started.

"Please sit." He motioned to the tiny bed.

"Well…" I tried again.

"I'm only trying to help." He said lightly, pushing me back until I stumbled and fell on the mattress.

He went to a small wardrobe and opened it, pulling out a small white box.

"Suri, please sit still." He smiled, making my heart skip a beat.

Atsuo kneeled in front of me, lightly taking my injured wrist in his hand and opening the medical box.

"Atsuo." I sniffed. "What are you?"

"Hmm?" He didn't look up from his work. "Oh, well I'm a horse demon."

"That explains a lot." I muttered.

"What do you mean?" He looked up from his work.

"You are very kind." I smiled and he smiled back.

"I'm all done." He stood, putting the box back in its place.

"Thank you very much, Atsuo." I stood up.

"Of course, Suri." He took my good hand. "You have very beautiful features, if you don't mind me saying."

I blushed hard, looking at the ground. His hand found my chin, lifting it up to look into my eyes. His blue starred into my green. Before I realized it, we were leaning in, our eyes closed.

BAM!

I jumped back at the horribly loud crashing sound.

"Surrrrrrrri" A growled roared from the door.

Sesshomaru stood in the broken doorway. His eyes were completely bright red.

"My Lord." Atsuo said, taking a knee and bowing his head.

Suddenly Sesshomaru was no longer in the doorway and Atsuo's head was no longer on his shoulders. I screamed as blood sprayed everywhere.

"What have you done?" I cried.

His red eyes turned on me, but I was too upset to be scared. And that upsetness turned to anger.

"What is your problem!" I screamed, moving to use my claws on him.

But his hand roughly stopped mine. It was my bad wrist. I cried in pain, but he ignored it. Instead he lifted me up, throwing me over his shoulder and moving out of the room. Before a second passed, I was being set down in my own bedroom.

"Get out, you horrible dog!" I cried, throwing myself on my bed.

"You are never to leave this room again without permission." He demanded, turning to exit the room.

I looked up, glaring at him.

"I will do as I please." I growled lowly.

"You will remain in this room unless told otherwise." He growled louder than I did.

In an act of stubbornness, I jumped up from my bed, racing for the windows. Before I could get one opened, I was turned around and pinned against them.

Sesshomaru's face was so close to mine. His eyes were red again and his breath was hot on my face. This time I was actually pretty scared.

"YOU WILL STAY HERE!" He roared.

"Just kill me already!" I screamed, holding back tears by closing my eyes.

Sesshomaru slid his thumb across my chin, but before I could open my eyes to see him, he was already at the door.

"I never planned on killing you, Suri." He simply replied before leaving.

(ALMOST A MONTH LATER)

Ever since that day, I had not run into Sesshomaru. I even took the chance of leaving my room without permission. I got to the end of the hall before the servants rushed me back. But no Sesshomaru.

I had questions that needed answering and he was nowhere to be found.

Then I had an idea.

It was just after dinner, and I was escorted to my room. I waited five minutes before I moved away from the door and to the windows. I opened them, letting the cool air rush in. The sky was a mix of orange and purple. I stepped out onto my balcony.

"Beautiful." I breathed, taking in a lungful.

Then, I jumped. The wind rushed through my hair, but it was over quickly.

My bare feet landed in the green grass. I flexed my toes, taking in the softness.

"Free at last." I screamed happily.

Then I ran. The air in my face was peaceful and the grass under my feet was amazing. I jumped and skipped and rolled.

"This is amazing!" I laughed, laying down and looking up at the now dark sky.

The black was littered with white, shinning sparks.

"I told you to stay in your room." A low growl came from close by.

I didn't sit up. I didn't need to. I knew who it was.

"Well I didn't." I answered, more bravely then I felt.

"Get up, Suri." Sesshomaru demanded.

"Why? So I can be punished?" I countered, sitting up to look at him.

He stood tall above me. His eyes weren't red fully, only a little outline of it.

"Get up." He repeated.

"No." I growled.

"I will not repeat myself a third time, Suri."

"Then don't. Just leave me alone." I pouted, taking my knees into my arms and holding them.

Sesshomaru did not ask again. He simply grabbed my arm pulling me up to my feet.

"You're not going to kill me apparently, so why should I be scared of you?" I muttered as he pulled me across the lawn to the castle.

"I will not kill you." He agreed. "But you will still be punished."

"Didn't you punish me enough by killing Atsuo!" I snapped.

He didn't speak, but continued to pull me along. I didn't struggle nor did I make it any easier on him.

Instead of taking the front door, he lifted me up in his arms, jumped onto my balcony and set me back in my room.

He made for the exit.

"What about my punishment?" I sneered. "Or was I right? Murdering my friend was enough? I'll just escape again. You can't keep-"

My words were stopped by being thrown onto the bed. I made to get up, but was pinned under the Lord's body. Red eyes again.

"Surrrrri." He growled. But from the look in his eyes, I could tell it wasn't all anger.

"Lo….Lord Se…. Sessho-" I stuttered.

My words were blocked by lips being pressed passionately hard against mine. I fought against a moan, but to no luck. My body had a mind of its own. My arms worked their way around the demon's neck, and my lips returned his passion.

But just as it had begun, it was gone.

"Don't leave this room again." Sesshomaru said calmly before leaving me to myself.

"Wow…." I muttered to myself.
