~LADY VALKYRIA
Chapter Seven
For once in her life, Lady Mizuki, was completely bored. Not once had they passed a nearby human village nor took enough breaks to enjoy the scenery. It was almost impossible to observe anything and the only thing that she managed to scribble down was a squirrel eating a nut… Perhaps… it is time to return her full focus on Sesshomaru.
Mizuki pulled out her notebook and jot down notes as Sesshomaru walked ahead of them. Busy writing down her observations, Mizuki didn't even realize that they had stopped and Sesshomaru was watching her. She looked up from her notebook and grinned innocently.
Sesshomaru walked over to Mizuki and she quickly hid the notebook. He asked, "What have you been writing down in that notebook? Not that I care, just curious." Mizuki unconsciously used the same excuse when she was disguised as Miyu, "Well if you must know mi' lord… These notes are for my research on certain animals. I just so happen to see an animal as we walked. I took my chance to jot down what I observed."
Sesshomaru raised his brow but continued to walk and Mizuki pulled out her notebook again writing down their exact conversation. She was determined to fill this notebook even if her only observation was Sesshomaru!
~Later~
Finally, they stopped and rested a little bit. 'Good because I never have traveled so long before.' Mizuki stretched tiredly, dropping her notebook, which Sesshomaru picked it up and looked inside. Luckily most of the notes were memorized in her head, and she had torn out the pages. Keeping them on her always, he only saw the pages with animals and humans on them.
Catching Mizuki off guard, he commented, "Besides the obvious missing pages, it appears you have yet to… observe a hanyou." Her eyes sparkled at his words, causing him to possibly regret his question but she asked him, "Yes, I have yet to find one. But if you know of one please introduce- Wait what am I saying… you despise hanyous and there is no way you would know of one." Sesshomaru growled and dropped the notebook walking away.
Once Mizuki thought he was far enough, she slipped her pages back in the notebook and sighed with relief. She wouldn't allow him to know that he was her current focus when it came to her research. Mizuki sat down by the fire, as Sesshomaru returned with food. He cooked up the food and served them all, but Sesshomaru didn't eat his food. Since Mizuki was to be his future mate, she might as well make sure he eats. Grabbing the extra plate and sitting in front of Sesshomaru. He watched Mizuki intently as she cut up the meat getting ready to pick it up, he replies, "I don't eat human food. Neither should you, Lady Mizuki."
Giving the demon lord a pout, Mizuki's only response to him was to eat a piece of the cooked meat. She held up another piece, even going as far as to hold it extremely close to his lips. Mizuki kept it there for a while until finally putting her arm down. Sesshomaru smirked at her failed attempts and she knew that there was only one last attempt that she could do. Quickly Mizuki gasped and pointed in a direction away from them, "Oh LORD WHAT IS THAT!"
Sesshomaru looked in the direction that Mizuki had referred to, prompting her enough time to shove some of the food in her mouth. He growled when he saw that it was nothing and returned to face her. Mizuki smiled innocently before she pulls the demon lord into a kiss. Mizuki was almost positive that underneath his cold exterior, he was in shock, which gave her the opportunity to shove the food in his mouth. Standing up in triumph, as Mizuki's face was completely flushed. She didn't care because she knew that she succeeded. "HAHAHA! I have done it! I got Lord Sesshomaru to eat! I'll be an excellent mate! HOHOHO!"
Sesshomaru only had a small grin and it alarmed Mizuki when she noticed it. He walked past her, leaning close enough to whisper in her ear, "We'll see about that during mating season." Immediately, Mizuki's eyes widened as she felt her face turn 10 different shades of red. 'Damn it! I hate being a virgin!' Mizuki thought to herself as she slumped down onto the ground, completely embarrassed now. Rin walked over and laid on Mizuki, falling asleep instantly. She watched the sleeping little girl and smiled softly, "This poor girl, too innocent to even understand what I am going through. I need another woman to talk to…"
Mizuki sighed tiredly and then noticed movement in the bushes in front of her. She carefully removed Rin off of herself, enough not to wake the child. Then she looked over towards Sesshomaru who didn't budge, and which left her to stand up. Mizuki walked over quietly towards the bushes, jumping the person who was hiding. Then she heard a girl's voice yell as she tried to push Mizuki off, "GET OFF ME!"
Mizuki jumped off the girl to see, that she was several years younger than Mizuki. The girl glared at Mizuki with those golden orbs. Her long brown hair was tied back in a ponytail, and Mizuki noticed her wearing armor like apparel. The girl stood up dusting herself off and walked over towards Sesshomaru who only spoke, "There you are Makoto. What took you so long?"
Sesshomaru's comment had caused Mizuki's jaw to drop as she pointed at him now furious that he forgot to mention this, "YOU KNOW HER? YOU KNEW SHE WAS COMING? YOU FAILED TO TELL ANYONE OF THIS!" Sesshomaru only glared at Mizuki, causing her to bite her lip as he answered her with a cold tone,
"You do not talk to your future mate, no less, your Lord like that. You will treat me with respect! Now I had no need to mention her arrival since it would have been quick and swift. Also, I thought you would've realized that I, not moving from my spot was a sign that she was no threat. Makoto is my ally's daughter and the captain of my army. Now resume to watching Rin while I speak with Makoto privately!"
Sesshomaru pulled Makoto aside and then looked around making sure a certain youkai wasn't spying on them. He then told her what he planned, "I want you to watch Lady Mizuki closely. For one thing, she is writing stuff that she is hiding from me. But when we are on my lands. Until then I must get more used to her." Makoto reluctantly nodded and replied, "Fine, I'll watch over her when the time comes. Until then I'm returning to my post." She disappeared and Sesshomaru called for Mizuki.
She appeared before him in a flash and asked, "Is there anything you wish for, mi' lord?" Sesshomaru growled deeply and pushed her against a nearby tree. Pinning her with his own body as he slipped his hand under her kimono top beginning to grope her. She gasped at this, causing him to kiss her quickly slipping his tongue between her lips. He searched every crevice of her mouth until she couldn't take it anymore and moaned against his lips.
Sesshomaru broke the kiss only to chuckle at Mizuki's reaction, "If such little stuff as that causes you to moan, I wonder how you will react to my finger plunging into your core. Or… my youkai." Mizuki blushed immediately at his words, causing him to chuckle. He nibbled on her neck causing her to let out another moan and then he released her. Sesshomaru left. Mizuki there, on the ground, staring at his back longingly. She hated feeling vulnerable and right now, that's all she felt…
