Chapter 7:
God I hate demons. As I swung like a rag doll in the demonesses grasp, flailing my arms and legs yelling; actally I was choking on my words while I slobbered on myself.
"You… Stupid… Bitch…"
She shook me then and a nasty, feral look came into her eye.
"I'll …Kill…. You…"
A crowd had gathered now and I felt like a monkey in a zoo. Still I couldn't help myself from attempting to yell abuse at such a stupid demon.
"Fight like a…. Real man you…. Whore!!!" She just tightened her grip until I could feel myself turn blue.
You know what. I REALLY hate demons. Pompous asses who think that they rule over everyone, attacking them and holding them by the neck while they look like an idiot while they slowly choke. Well I got one thing to say...
WHATEVER!!!!
Summoning my inner kungfuist..... I kicked up my legs so they were resting on her chest and kicked and pushed with all my might. Obviously the stupid woman..demon.. wasn't expecting it because she let me go and I flew backwards landing on my shoulder's in a crumpled heap.
As I was dropped to the ground I flounded and flipped backwards, but because of my awesomeness I was straight back on my feet again and in a fighting, defencive, offensive stance. I would kick her butt and show this prissy piece of ass a thing or two about beating up someone smaller than herself. A crowd of demons circled us now and I stood my ground as she circled me. I took a good look at my attacker. The demoness was pacing back and forth spitting I presume derogstive words at me, and as I backed up a bit I, ever the person of perfect timing, caught my foot on a stray log and tripped. I was rewarded by a smug grin from the demon as she stood tall.
"Owwwwww. That hurt." I winded myself but ignoring it I got up and stood my ground trying to get air into my lungs. An obvious smirk played on her lips and damn did it piss me off. But.... reining in my ire I got a good look at her, trying to be the perfect strategist and find a weakness on her person.
I found none... Dammit!!
She wore fine silks, they looked expensive. A golden kimono adorned with red cherry blossoms. At least I presumed they were because that's the only flower I knew in Japan. Her eyes were as red as scarlet and they matched her lips. She had pure white skin and long dangerous claws. I gulped as I remembered that they were not long ago wrapped around my neck. I shivered as she advanced.
Her red lips curled into a masochistic smirk as she closed the distance between us. The crowd encirclng us was saying stuff. Actually it was more like yelling but before I could think much else the demoness disappeared and reappeared in front of me. Her claws were elogated and pointed straight to my torso.
Practically losing my stomach somewhere in my throat I jumped as quickly as I could to the side with the least amount of demons. I reqally didn't feel like pissing another one off… But I was too slow and she cut my leg. A long cut from my inner thigh to the outside and I wanted nothing more than to scream and cry and curl up in a dark corner and drink a nice bottle of the sweet elixar scotch.
But instead I thought about being a superhero in a movie displaying awesome strength and pain tolerance. I stood up intent on making it seem as if there was nothing wrong with me, showing her no pain, making no sure I made not a sound to show what I was feeling.
"What the fuck you moron." I grinned as she furrowed her brow in confusion. I presumed that she had no idea what I was saying and it annoyed her to no end. Grinning I straightened myself as much as I could – this could be fun - and marched up to her. Face to face I very loudly stated something that was probably the main cause of my aches and pains to come.
"Baka." I said loudly and grinned. I was flying through the air before I could even blink. I hit a tree hard and the wind was knocked from me. It hurt. It hurt real bad, but never the less I stood up only to be greeted by absolute silence. So I continued with my tirade.
"Baka baka baka baka baka…." I was pretty proud of myself because I thought the crowed was stunned into silence by my standing up to the demoness, not because they were shocked and scared.
Sesshomaru stood on the other side of the circle, his eyes not the usual gold, but more of an orange.
"Fuck. Sesshomaru not you, her." I said pointing to the demoness who stood seething next to him. I pointed at Sesshomaru and made up sentences that made absolutely no sense to him but made me feel better.
"Baka. Iie." I said pointing to Sesshomaru.
"Baka. Hai." I said pointing to the demoness. She launched herself at me again only to be pulled back forcefully. I could also distictly hear from where I was a loud feral growl coming from Sesshomaru. Awww was he worried about me. How touching.
The demoness who I was currently arguing with immediately changed her tune. She rounded on Sesshomaru and I could instantly see that she wanted him. Like wanted him. As in a husband or something. Or at the very least, she wanted a bed buddy. For some unknown reason it ticked me off… A LOT.
The demoness slowly sauntered up to him saying something. It was obviously some innuendo or something because I could see Sesshomaru's eyebrows twitch and he said a couple of words to her, before ignoring her once again. He addressed another demon standing behind the demoness and I nearly laughed out loud as I watched the pallid face of the demoness turn red with rage at being ignored by her man-meat prey.
I continued to silently laugh at her ire and Sesshomaru's ignoring of her until she latched onto his arm and rubbed her face all sultry like along his arm. I could feel my face paled and turn red with anger and I couldn't help my feet when they marched up and stood next the demon Lord.
My eyes locked with the demonesses and I could immediately see her problem with me. She thought I was a threat for Sesshomaru. I have to admit, my insides when all tingly and I was happy that someone thought that I could be some sort of competition for Sesshomaru's, as in western heir, fucking sexy demon lord of the lands. I wooped and did a happy dance in my head, didn't wan to disgrace myself too much infront of a gawking demon crowd.
"And just what do you think you are doing baka whore?" I crossed my arms on the other side of Sesshomaru and stared at her as best I could around him. The demoness narrowed her eyes and hissed at me.
"Oh, oh someone trying to act all tough are they…?"
I was in the middle of an angry tirade at her when she did the unthinkable. She wrapped her hands around his waist and ran a freaking long claw up and down chest.
I lost it.
I really don't know what came over me being so… so… possesive… but I launched myself at her. I really don't think she was expecting my attack because she stumbled backwards far enough away for me to position myself inbetween the pair as I smacked her fair in the chest. She was quick to recover and as I roundhouse kicked her in the side she slapped me in the side of the head.
To say I was startled and seeing starts all of a sudden was an understatement. I was dizzy and was seeing double of everything as they spun around rather quickly. But I was determined to be unfazed and put on an undefeatable front. I was about to launch myself at her, how much that would have actually done anything to her I was not so sure; only to feel strong arms wind themselves around my waist and pull me back.
I just let myself hang limp. There was absolutely nothing I could do if he was going to involve himself. I couldn't believe that he was going to defend her. Could he not see that she was a slut? From what I saw he didn't like her affections. He didn't like anyones affections. I tried to push him off and attack her again. I was out of reach, as she just stood there, eyes narrowed at me nothing but death in them. So, naturally I grabbed the closest weapon I could. Tokijin. Or maybe it was Tenseiga, I couldn't tell, but the reaction of not only the demoness but the crowd made me think I had seriously hurt someone.
But in truth, the only person that I put in danger of certain pain was me. Ooops. How was I supposed to know that NOONE touched Sesshomaru's swords. Jeeze. I was really angry and I wanted to kill that bitch like I have never wanted to kill something before.
Sesshomaru growled loudly and I could feel pain in my wirst as he grasped it and ripped his sword from my hand.
Somehow in the little dearcle Sesshomaru had let me go and I has stumbled back, or maybe been pushed I wasn't sure, into the demonesses waiting, deadly arms. However before she could say or do anything to me, I was picked up and thrown of Sesshomaru's shoulder as he marched off. I eyed the bitch with as much death in my expression as I could before poking my tongue out at her like the child I was and rubbing my hand up and down his fluffy.
I was so going to get in a lot of trouble for it later but I really wanted to rub salt in the wound so….. Wrapping my arms around his neck and sliding myself so I was positioned like a new born baby slung over his shoulder and supported by one arm, I slid my face in the crook of his neck. I then Pretended to whisper something in his ear before giving him a chaste kiss on the cheek and settling myself back into the crook of his neck. He let out a low very angry growl but I didn't care, I would wear every consequence with a huge smile because the jealous, angry, disgusted, irate expression on the demonesses face…. priceless.

She was fearless, he'd give her that much. When Mei cut her leg he thought for sure she would start crying again. But instead she growled and tried to punch her, t strongest demoness in his court. What amused him more, when Mei tried to shamelessly flirt with him like she always did, the ningen seemed to get all defensive and shove the youkai away. Sesshomaru liked this ningen more and more each day. If for nothing else she would be amusing to him and help keep the annoying females at bay. He didn't miss how she was making Mei, and every other female in the vicinity extremely jealous when she was being intimate with him, kissing him. He enjoyed it very much…. The other females jealousy that is. He definitely didn't enjoy being kissed by a ningen onna.
*
She was prodding and poking herself again in the mirror as the healer wiped at her leg wound. It wasn't bleeding as seriously as originally thought and he wondered how she could have been so scared of the healer earlier; yet now she was letting him touch her without a care or a worry in the world. It irked him a little and he didn't know why.
Sesshomaru also didn't understand women. All the female in his court did the same thing, stare at themselves in a mirror and scrutinise. They would just stare; for hours at a time and wish to change something about themselves. He didn't understand her, and the way she poked and pulled at herself, Sesshomaru could tell the ningen was not happy with her body. Most demonesses would want a body exactly like her. Long slender yet toned legs. A flat tummy, okay maybe she was rather skinny with not eating anything that he hunted for her, ample breasts and an attractive face. She really was such a confident and beautiful person. He suddenly chastised himself for thinking such thoughts about a ningen onna...
...He had given into a moment of weakness earlier and called her 'beautiful'; not that she would have understood him. Why did he do it? He did not really know, but he put it down to wanting to stop an impending 'inferior image' attack. He had also seen many female in his court throw tantrums about such things; my nose is too long, I'm too fat, I have thick eyebrows; and it never ceased to give him a headache...
He was however impressed with her boldness towards Mei. So few would challenge someone like her, a demoness of highest calibre serving and ruling his court. And yet, a simple minded slip of a ningen did just that. Sesshomaru wondered if the ningen actually knew of Mei's power or status within his court. That would explain her actions, to a degree anyway. No normal human would launch an attack on an Inu demon in the first place. And now she had herself a nice large gash to her leg a few bruises on her body and probably a decent concussion.
He looked at the healer again trying to coax her out of her clothes to look at the bruises on her body. She was a little more reluctant as letting him do this. Ahhh, it seemed she wa still slightly shy or wary around him. Sesshomaru's slight irritation at the nekoyoukai dissipated.
"Keito." The nekoyoukai turned to the lord in surprise when he addressed him.
"Y…yes milord?"
"Leave. If she has no broken bones or life threatening wounds, this Sesshomaru will finish with her." The nekoyoukai's eyes widened in shock. Sesshomaru never helped ANYONE. What did this ningen hold over him.
Keito looked the girl over briefly. Besides being ridiculously thin, which could not be healthy for ningens, especially reproducing onnas and from the smell the onna was emitting it was the time of her moon blood; she was quite an attractive ningen specimen.
She was defianately a fireball. She had more courage than any human he had ever met and even most Demons. Many would not stand up to Lady Mei. A Inu fire demoness who worked in Sesshomaru's court. And yet, she had seemed willing to risk her life, not only out of pride, but also possessiveness of the Inu lord. Keito was still struggling with her top when Sesshomaru stepped in.
The ningen refused to remove her top; and although concussed and wounded she was still fighting. And yet, as soon as Lord Sesshomaru laid a hand on her she seemed to relax.
"Leave Keito. This one will fix her."
With that said Keito ran out, wondering what exactly the ningen held over his lord.
*
Awww… my rapist try hard who wasn't really a rapist but a doctor of sorts, was actually really nice. It seemed I had done what I hate other people doing and judged a book by its cover.
After Sesshomaru carried me back to the room and set me down, I had a chance to take a good look at the demon rapist when Sesshomaru motioned for him to come to me.
I was a little nervy to begin with, but I figured if Sesshomaru let him near me he wouldn't try anything. It was when he got all his equipment out that I realised who, or rather what he was.
A doctor. Well a healer I suppose, if I wanted to keep with the lingo of the olden days. I took a good look at me as he fixed my cut through my pants. There was no way I was taking them off, you know, just in case he really was secretly a closet rapist. If it's one thing my mother taught me, it was… is… to never trust strange men. Except Sesshomaru. Well she never said the Sesshomaru bit. I added that. Because Sesshomaru's cool.
Anyway, I took a good look at him while he was tending to my leg. He was orange and furry with stripes running from his head down his neck and disappearing under his brown shirt, er, haori. He had little point ears, just like InuYasha and a long thin tail that was busily swishing back and forward. His eyes were cat like and large and greeny yellow and I suddenly got a vision of my mum's cat.
I screeched out loud at him.
"I know what you are! You are a cat demon." I pointed at me then.
"Human. Ningen." Then at him.
"Cat demon. Neko youkai!" When he beamed back at me and nodded I knew I was right. God I am good. I pumped the air and whooped as he went back to work on my leg looking startled and slightly worried.
The room still didn't hold much, it was very plain with its mirror and wall of stuff, presumably medicines if he was a healer, I decided then and there that I was claiming it as my own and refurbishing the boring place for as long as we stayed here.
I jumped nearly through the roof when the cat started trying to take my top off again.
"I knew it. You are a HENTAI!" I screeched at him suddenly remembering what everyone called Miroku in the world of fanfiction. Usually, in all the fanfics I read, Miroku would get all upset and hurt and stop being a pervert; but oh no, this cat can't just be normal can he. He kept trying to tug my shirt off and as I was starting to get panicky I felt the familiar smoothness of Sesshomaru's hand on my bare stomach as his deep, oh-so-sexy voice, said something to the cat rapist.
I watched, a scowl on my face as the cat walked away, some sort of scowl of his own adorning his features. I lifted my arms as I felt a tug at my layer of clothing and Sesshomaru stripped me of my top.
Sesshomaru just stared at me, and suddenly flicked the strap of my bra. I jumped as it pinged against my sensitive, bruised skin and went to blast him for doing something so stupid when I realised that he seemed nothing more than curious.
"It keeps me from getting black eyes." I said to him as I pointed to it.
"It's called a bra and supports my boobs so when I walk and run they don't bounce." I jumped on the spot to emphasise how my boobs weren't going all over the place. It wasn't exactly the best bra for the demonstration, it was lacy and a seductive; meant to sit the 'girls' out on display for the world to see. But it did its job and the normal bounce they had when I was braless was minimized greatly. Sesshomaru cocked both eyebrows this time and they disappeared into his hairline. I had his attention. Whether it was because of my awesome cleavage or the incredible bra, I was unsure.
Feeling ever so brave I turned around and unhooked them. Making sure that I had a towel to grab and wrap around me, which I did just that, I slid them off and gave them to him.
"Bra." I said pointing at them.
Sesshomaru's face was.... It was hilarious. All curious and fascinated like. It was like looking at a kid in a Willy Wonka lolly store for the first time. Utterly bewildered.
He held them up by the catch and stared at them, twirling them around in front of him. I nearly choked on air when he held them close and sniffed at them. I was half in shock that he would actually do something like that and half worried that they smelled like sweat or something equally gross. But I couldn't completely contain my hysterics at his un-Sesshomaru antics so I chuckled loudly as I grabbed them back. I was nervous about them somehow 'offending his person' and him melting them or something equally as disastrous. Facing away from him, I was confident with my body but not that confident, I made sure that he watched me pull them on and hook them back up.
He still held an intensely amazed expression.
"Bra." I said.
"Say it after me Sesshomaru. B.R.A" I said making sure to articulate it perfectly. I said it a few more times while I tugged at my shoulder strap to emphasis that I was indeed talking about my bra.
"Bu-ra." Sesshomaru finally said barely above a whisper. I beamed at him.
"Well done. Well done. Umm… Iiyo." I said and immediately his shoulders relaxed. I was a little worried when I blurted the Japanese word that I had said something weird or some sort of a put down, but obviously I was able to retain enough of a brain to remember 'well done' from my class. It was always the phrase I was yearning to hear every time I said something, or translated something for the teacher. It made sense that I would want to remember it.
Sesshomaru rubbed all sorts of cold, tickling creams into my bruises and surprisingly I could feel an almost immediate effect. By the time he was done and I was re dressed Yomi and Rin came running in at full speed and hugged me. I was kind of nervous that the speed that they were travelling at was going to put me through the wall of the hut or something but they somehow managed to slow at the last minute and hug me nice and gentle.
Rin said something whilst bowing to Sesshomaru and he nodded and left. She turned back to me beaming and hugged me once again, grabbed my hand and dragged me from the hut.
The last time I left the hut I got into a fight with a slutty demoness, I was not looking forward to this little trip from the safety of my nice comfy bed. I prayed to whoever above, who seemed to have a warped sense of humour; Putting me in the world of InuYasha then getting me beat up senselessly all day just for their amusement; that at the very least for the rest of the day they would take pity on me and nothing more would happen. It would just be a nice quite relaxing walk through the demon infested village.
Oh god. I was doomed.
I gulped and took a steadying deep breath as I stepped into the streets of the very busy demon village.
In the Publishing Room...
Lara: Have you seen Lady?
Sesshomaru: I wouldn't want to foul my eyes with that filthy picture
Lara: *shakes head* I'm serious. She was busy complaining about the heat and the ridiculous weather and now she's gone.
Sesshomaru: This is my problem how??
Lara: Maybe she's collapsed in heat exhaustion when she went to the beach.
Sesshomaru: Hnnn...
Lara: Oh no. Maybe's she's dying of dehydration because she fell asleep on the beach and got really sunburnt and is all shrivelled like a roasted tomato.. I have to go save her...
*Thwack*
Sesshomaru: A deady Lady is the only Lady worth anything.
Ahhh. So I'm sorry if this chapter was boring and didn't live up to expectations. I am really tired and hot (we've had a string of like 4 degree days and my new joint has no air con yet... grrr...) And like I said earlier, I just got home and I really wanted tom update but my humour and brain isn't working too good, so I'm thinking this chappy wont be worth much..... anyway I hope I explained right why Sesshomaru called her beautiful. He doesn't actually think she is.... he just wanted to save himself an hadache haha typical male lol :D
Anyway.... I'm off to bed so I can have a nice refreshing cold shower and some well wanted sleep :D Yay!!!!
Until next time
~ Lady D. xx
