Male: Prince Nuada
Series: Hellboy II
Kagome quickly made her way through the palace, her long blue dress rustling as she walked. She brought a small dainty hand up to her pale face to brush back a stray piece of long black hair. She nodded to the nearby guards as she paused outside the door that was her detestation. She lifted a pale hand up, it was a stark contrast to the dark cherry wood of the door, and knocked lightly. She knew she was a moth being lead towards the fire, yet here she was.
She lowered her hand and waited patiently for the one who had summoned, Prince Nuada, to bid her entrance into his chambers. She didn't have to wait long before the door to his room was opened. He glanced down at her, his six feet towering over her small five foot five inches. She bowed her head lightly, a sign of respect and submission to the elf like prince.
He nodded at her and stepped away from the door, lowering his hands to his side. "Ah, finally you have arrived, please do come in."
She nodded and entered the room pausing in the middle of it, she glanced around awed by the sheer size of it, it was the size of a ball room if not a little smaller. The room was divided into two sections, the first was a sitting like room, with plush chairs and a table as well as a few bookshelf's. The second half was his more private chambers and was separated from the sitting area by a large golden mess curtain.
She turned to face him a small smile on her face and nodded at him as he shut the door behind them with a small thud. "You called for me my lord?"
He nodded and walked past her to one of the plush chairs in the room, pausing to offer her the seat across from him. "Please have a seat."
She nodded and walked over to the offered seat. She gracefully sat down, her blue dress rustling as she sat, it took her a minute to get situated.
He took this time to look her over, she was small, compared to him, and dainty, her skin was pale but not as pale as his. Her hair was as black as a ravens wing, a stark contrast to his own pale blond almost sliver locks, and long, longer then his own which reached his waist. All in all she was small and dainty, she almost screamed 'protect me', yet he knew differently. She was his father's priestess, yes, she was older then him, but as a demon he had caught up to her, she was now twenty nine, while he was twenty five, in demon years. To be his father's priestess meant she had power, plus he had grown up watching her, learning from her.
He slowly called back his mind from its wandering and smiled at her lightly, well it was more of a slight upturn of the lips. His smile turned into a smirk when he noticed that her finger was twitching lightly, a nervous habit of hers. "The reason I called you here is to discuss the future…more specifically our future."
Kagome blushed, she knew she shouldn't have come, she should have known he wanted to talk about this, again. He always did, she knew he had liked her when he was younger, always falling her about, it had only gotten worse as he had aged. It wasn't long before he had caught up to her, to her it was in the blink of an eye, one day he was following her about, like a lost puppy then the next, he was a man. "My Lord…please…I do not wish to talk about this, not now. I have my duties to attend to."
He frowned lightly, she never wanted to talk about this, but he would not let her get away this time. "Yes, now. I am your prince and you will obey me. We are going to talk about this now." He smirked as she huffed lightly in anger, if there was one thing she hated, it was to be bossed around, even so he knew she would listen to him.
He smirked as she nodded, no doubt ranting and raving in her head. "Now, Kagome." He let her name roll off his tongue sensually, smirking as she flushed lightly, this time from embarrassment. "You know exactly what I wish to talk about. I have asked you time and time again to become mine, and each time you have avoided the question. This time you will not. Kagome, will you be mine? My lover, my mate."
She flushed and had to look away from him, she chewed on her lip as she looked down at her lap. Oh, how she wanted to say yes, but she could not. She was his father's priestess, her life was devoted to him and him alone. "I…can not be yours. My life is already sworn to your father, the King. You know that." The silence that surrounded them was anything but comfortable. She clasped her hands in her lap, to afraid to look up at him.
He glared at the space next to her, he knew she would say this, yet he had to ask her anyway. He had hear it, it was the final thing that steadied his resolve, he would rise up against his father. He would change the way things were, humans would no longer get away with ruining the world, and, he would become king, that way Kagome would become his miko, his lover, his mate. He sighed, he would have to retire for the night, he had a long day ahead of him. "I see, well then I must bid you good night. But know this, whatever happens in the next few days, it is for you and our future."
He looked away from her worried gaze and rose from his seat. He heard her rise from her seat as well, her dress shifting lightly. He glanced at her and offered her a small up turn of the lips. "Let me escort you to the door." He walked over to her and lightly placed his hand on the small of her back and guided her to the door, once there he opened it for her and removed his hand. He blinked as she turned to him her eyes swimming with many different emotions, the only ones he could pick out were, worry, uncertainty…and…love?
Kagome chewed on her lips as she looked up at her prince, she knew he was panning something, she would have to be daft to not. She didn't know what it was, but she hoped he would be safe. She let out a shaky breath and offered him a small smile. "My lord, please, be careful. Know that…I…I will stand by your side, if lines are drawn." She quickly stood on her tippy toes and placed a small kiss on his cheek, before turning on her heel and walking towards her chamber, her face flushed.
