I moaned as my eyes opened, my head aching like a bitch. I didn't remember anything for a few moments as I tried to block out the pain to think. Kohan…he had hit me, hadn't he? He did, but why? Unless…unless he had been after me the entire time. He didn't want my parents, he wanted me and my parents were just bait. Kohan had been planning this for a long time.
"Oh, the princess has awoken."
I sat up, growling at the stranger. She was a goat demon with long black hair and four small horns on her head. Her skin was pale and flawless. Her body was muscled and angled like a thief's. I was in a thief compound.
"Who are you?" I asked, my voice level.
"No one that you need to know, Princess," she spat, throwing clothes at me. "Put these on. "
I looked at them, the tan colored skirt and short tank top with no shoes. I looked at her, bothered by the fact that I wasn't going to wear any shoes. She just stared at me, waiting for me to change.
"Do you mind leaving?" I asked, my voice becoming cold.
"Sorry, hun, but I was ordered to stay here and watch you, no matter what. So change."
I sighed, standing up. There was no way that I was going to change in front of this woman. Thieves were so barbaric.
"Change," she ordered, now or I will do it personally."
"Fine," I snapped, removing my shirt. I was thankful that my corset was still on until she told me to remove it.
I stared at her blankly. "What?"
"I was told that you had to remove all former clothing. Remove all former clothing."
Was she kidding me? I sighed and turned around. I wanted some privacy. I pulled on the too tight and small skirt, the fabric smooth and soft. Then I began to undo the strings on my corset. Once done, I threw it down, snatching up the halter-top. I yanked it over my head, pulled out my hair, and turned around, about to punch this woman.
I yelped when I saw Kohan, standing there watching me, alone.
"How long have you been there?" I asked.
"Long enough," he replied.
"What do you want from me?" I demanded.
He walked towards me, but I resisted him when he tried pulling me down. He yanked me down, causing me to straddle him. We stared at one another for a moment, a long and silent moment.
"Genevieve," he said, "just listen to what I have to say."
I crossed my arms over my chest. "I'm listening."
"I understand that you may hate me right now, but I didn't kidnap you for money."
"Quit lying," I said, not wanting to hear anymore. I needed to be alone so I could calm my fears and make myself cold, like I did in times of distress. It helped, not being able to feel anything in certain times and I needed to do that now. The problem was, if I could.
"I'm not lying," he said, nuzzling my collarbone. "Genevieve, you and I have been close, even when we were younger. However, you and I were never truly able to be together. Now we can."
"Kohan, are you saying that you kidnapped my parents, let yourself get caught by the Spirit Forces and knock me unconscious just so we could be together?"
He looked up at me, his eyes bright and golden like the setting sky. "Yes."
I jumped off of him. "No, no, no, no, no. You couldn't have done that. You wouldn't have done that. Kohan, you and I aren't supposed to be together. You are a thief and I respect that. I am a Princess, why can't you respect that?"
"I do," he whispered against my ear, appearing in front of me within seconds. I made a small yelp. 'Since when is Kohan this…much of a thief?'
A small smile crossed his lips. "Genevieve," he said, nipping at my neck. "Did you know that you have thieving blood in your veins?"
My head tilted to the side, but I held a moan. I hated, no loathed, the fact that I was in heat, my first at that. "Do I?"
"Mmhmm." His hands trailed up my bare stomach, giving my goose bumps.
"Kohan."
I moaned his name, not being able to control myself.
"Eve, I've wanted you for so long," he whispered, pushing me against the wall.
"Kohan…"
His lips brushed against my cheek and then to my nose.
"Wait," I said weakly, "Kohan, wait."
He looked down at me, his eyes guarded.
"I can't," I said, trying to catch my breath. "Not yet."
He nibbled on my ear gently. "I know. I'm sorry, but, this, having you here with me, is amazing. I always knew that something like this could never happen because of your parents, but after they sent you away…I couldn't handle it. I needed you here with me. I needed you here in my den with me and the other bandits."
I was silent as he continued on. Kohan had been planning this for a long time. Perhaps if my parents had allowed this relationship to go on, things would be different. My parents wouldn't be captured somewhere. I wouldn't be a "hostage". A lot of things wouldn't be what they were.
A knock came on the door, jarring me out of my thoughts and stopping Kohan's speech. He cupped my face, kissing my on the nose. I smiled, trying not to giggle. Sometimes, Kohan could be sexy, mysterious, and badass. Other times, well he was as harmless as a tulip.
"Come in," he said, his voice taking on a protective tone.
"Sorry to bother you," said a familiar female tone, "but I thought that I should welcome Genevieve."
I smiled at Nia as she hugged me tightly. Nia had been like my second aunt, whenever I got to see her. Her and my mother had never gotten along; in fact, they downright hated one another. Nia was a calm woman who had no quarrels at all. She hated no one, except my mother, and loved everything and one she could. I constantly wished that my mother was like that, but, sadly, my mother was just the opposite. Kohan was lucky.
"How are you, dear?" she asked, tucking a stand of hair behind my ear.
I nodded. "I'm good. How are you?"
"Great. I was shocked to hear that you came. When I heard about how-" she threw a dirty glare at her son- "I knew that I had to speak with the both of you, especially you, Kohan."
Kohan raised an eyebrow, slinging his arm around my shoulders. "Why me, especially?"
"Apparently, kidnapping Genevieve has angered a few demons and now they are coming here to get her back."
"Which demons?"
"Neighboring thieves and a few Spirit Detectives," she responded. "If you don't settle this soon, a war may be on the horizon."
"What thieves?"
"The ones from the North," Nia said, sitting down, "they were already upset that you invaded their territory numerous times to see Genevieve. No offense, dear," she said to me, "and now that you kidnapped her parents, they are even more upset. The Spirit Detectives are enraged that you stole her right from under their noses and will do anything to get her back."
"I know why," he muttered under his breath.
I didn't want to know.
"Mother," Kohan said, cutting her off, "tell everyone that I will be holding a meeting. I plan to give a speech to let everyone know about what is going on."
"What would that be, exactly?"
Kohan turned away from us, resting against the wall.
"Kohan…what is going on?"
He was silent, his head against his taunt arm.
Nia said in frustration. "Kohan! Tell us what is going on!"
"He's the one," Kohan whispered.
"Who?" Nia asked.
I remained silent, not wanting to be responsible of asking too many questions. Cowardly, I know.
"He-he never died. He's still alive."
"Who? Who are you talking about?"
Kohan slammed his fist into the wall. "Him! The man that abandoned you and left us here alone! Youko Kurama, my father!"
Oh dear o.O
Well, I hoped you all liked that cliffhanger (if it can be called one)
