Chapter IX: Hunt

She was been going round and round inside their room for about some time now. She'd never been so desperate to find something in her entire life. She needed to find that charm that her mistress hid in their room no matter what. Since Sesshomaru arrived, he was acting out of character whenever they were alone in their room every night and he was only doing that whenever they were in their room, a sure sign that the charm he once said that wasn't affecting him in anyway was doing its job perfectly and it disturbed her very much that she can't get any sleep at all.

She searched on every nook and corner of their huge room so very carefully hoping to find that stupid charm, but it seems that luck was not on her side.

She raised her head and sigh heavily. If ever the great demoness was watching her right now, she would definitely be laughing at her.

She scratched the back of her head then filled her lungs with air then she slowly breathes it out. She repeated it a few times until she felt that all the muscles in her body relaxed. She was going to try to locate the charm by concentrating on her surrounding for the third time, but this time she puts extra effort and energy to make it work. She closed her eyes tightly and slowly everything went white and her body felt more relaxed.


Miyu slightly furrowed her brows from a feeling of someone staring at her.

Who is watching me? She asked herself. It's making me lose my focus.

She tried to ignore the feeling of being watched but it was too late, her concentration was already disturbed. She slowly opened her eyes just to see her husbands' face above her. She blinked twice to confirm what she was seeing was real.

"You're awake" Sesshomaru said.

Awake? What do you mean awa-

She suddenly got up when she realized that she was lying on his lap. She immediately turned her back away from him. Her eyes were wide open and her face was as red as an apple from humiliation.

Am I an idiot? I actually fell asleep while looking for the charm? She scolded herself.

"I found you sleeping on the floor when I went in"

She swiveled her head a little to him just to show that she was listening. She couldn't fully face him yet. Her face was still flushing from the sudden realization of her own stupidity.

"Sorry"

"I thought something happened to you. It would be a great dishonor to this Sesshomaru if you were attacked in my own territory"

"Sorry" she apologized again "I will make sure that something like that won't happen. I will make sure that I will not get myself killed by someone while I'm still staying in the premises of your territory for your honor my lord." She didn't intended to be sarcastic by giving him that reply but her statement just made itself so without her efforts.

"hn."

They stayed silent for a moment when Sesshomaru speaks again.

"Come here" he commanded.

Her shoulder jolts when she felt that the charm was doing it works again.

Uwaaah…not again…why is that charm working so aggressively?

She felt defeated. She wanted to run away from Sesshomaru so badly but her body doesn't seem to have the power to do so. She shook her head and slowly turned and crawled near her husband. She doesn't know where she got the courage to look at him in the eyes.

"My lord" she whispered with a voice she didn't recognized.

Wah! Whose voice was that? Her sub conscious shouted. Where did that seducing voice came from?

Sesshomaru brush her hair back. He was looking at her with eyes of a loving husband and that was, ladies and gentlemen, driving her nuts. He was acting passionately around her which Miyu knew that Sesshomaru doesn't possess.

He maybe passionate with fighting but other than that…

"Be mine" he whispered back on her ears.

His assertion made Miyu snapped out of the charm's influence. She faintly pushed herself away from Sesshomaru. She looked down on the floor and think for a moment. It was actually the first time that Sesshomaru said that he wants her. The other night he was just being touchy and clingy to her, but suddenly saying it boldly to her, it made her body froze.

"Ummm…"

"Be with this Sesshomaru" He repeated, pulling her close to him again.

"Wait my lord" She said followed by a faint moan when Sesshomaru bit her shoulder. His hands started to move all over her again.

She bit her lips from the sensation he was giving her. In this situation, Miyu needs to think of something to escape her husband. She looked around the room and her eyes caught the slightly open windows. She immediately snatched Sesshomaru's hand which was starting to untie her obi. Miyu looked at her slightly upset husband with a playful smile on her face.

"It's still early my lord" she said teasing him. "The sun hasn't set yet, let's continue this at night."

Sesshomaru raised a brow.

Miyu doesn't want her husband to think that she was rejecting him so she acted as playful as she can just to leave an impression of her teasing him, so she pulled all her acts together to give a gentle kiss on his lips but when she felt that he was going to respond to her, she broke the kiss right away.

Sesshomaru silently growled at her. She smiled knowing that his lord was being impatient and before he even grow more annoyed Miyu decided to stand up and leave him with knowing looks and mischievous smile.


"Miyu-sama do you feel unwell?" Rin asked her.

"Eh?" Miyu unconsciously touched her cheeks after she heard Rin.

"Your face is red. Do you have a fever?"

"Is it?" She must still be blushing

"Are you alright Miyu-sama?"

She smiled before she answered "Don not worry about me, I'm fine. Demons of my caliber do not get sick."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, now go back to reading. I'm going to ask you questions once you finished that"

"Yes Miyu-sama" the child said as she went back to reading.

Miyu smiled seeing how hard working the child was when it comes to learning. After she escaped from Sesshomaru she went straight to Rin's room. She found her writing so she decided to teach her again even though their lessons were done that afternoon before she went searching for the charm.

She sighed when she remembered Sesshomaru again. Honestly, she doesn't mind submitting herself to him on whatever conditions they were in. It was her obligation as his wife anyway but she just felt like thinking of something before they went all the way. Though she was not making the first move she felt like she was tricking him to sleep with her just to get it over with and fulfills her side of the bargain. What was making it more difficult was that Sesshomaru was touching her with such passion she couldn't stand. Whenever he touched her like that, she felt that she was going to drown. Her energy was slowly escaping from her too when he starts kissing her, which does not feel right on some way.

Maybe because it feels like it was not really the lords' true self who was doing all that to me.

She paused from thinking. Was she wishfully thinking that Sesshomaru would touch her without the influence of the charm? Could it be that she was hoping that her husband will make love to her because he wants it himself?

She blinked. But the answers came to her faster than her blinks.

Of course…not, I was not, even to the slightest, thought that way. I was just feeling sorry for him because he doesn't seem to be aware that he was always under the influence of the charm ever since the night of our wedding.

She suddenly gained her confidence as the guilt that was eating her faded away.

I'm thinking too much, maybe I just need to go with the flow on what the mistress sets up for us.


A/N: I didn't think, not in a million years, that I could write something s…s..smu…smut…smutty (whew!). The story demanded something like that so there was no helping it. I would like to thanks Sesshomaru's mother for hiding that charm in Miyu and Sesshy's room because at least I could get away with that excuse if you found fluffly being out of character (I mean, seriously I wanted Sesshomaru as he is as long as I can in this story but if I always put him like that I think there will be no progress between him and my OC, he's so difficult to represent) Lalalalalalala XD
