A/N: Okay, I got a review saying that my chapters looked more like paragraphs. Yes, that is true. I do not have any chapters. That, or the reviewer hasn't read Book 1 and the prequel yet. That is a shame because than the reviewer would know that this is the way I write… It is just one big story without chapters… it may be new and strange to some readers but that is how I write. Don't like it? Then just don't read and don't comment… To the reviewer that flamed me: If you flame me, then please give my feedback and good criteria why it sucks… I can always learn from that. I've never said that I am a wonderful writer who knows what to do. I respect the flame, but without feedback I am not going to pay attention to it. If you can do it better, I'd like to see that, I'm not going to listen. If you flame me than at least have the decency to give me feedback with how I can change it… I'm not English, I wrote that in my bio. By the way, it is not up to me with how I write, it is up to my muse… I just need to chop the story here and there to make you people come back ^_^ Also, I am not going to stop writing because someone tells me to. It says more about the person than it says about me…
Now on with the story!
'No, no, no, no!' She whispered, shaking her head, when he had finished talking. This could not be true… Sesshoumaru looked at her with pain in his eyes. She heard something break and then dropped to her knees, placing a hand over her chest… it was over, it was all over. Her future with him was gone, ripped away from her because of the vow. She smashed her fists into the floor making them bleed as tears fell from her eyes down her cheeks and onto the floor, making golden puddles on the white marble. She was brought to her feet by two demons and looked at the back of Sesshoumaru. He had turned away from her and Moriyo placed a hand on his shoulder as she gave a triumphed smirk. She ripped herself lose from her restraints and hissed as she looked at the faceless demons 'I can walk for myself, thank you very much.' Golden tear stains were left on her cheeks as she turned around and left the room with her head held up high. When the doors closed behind her she was directed to the servants quarters. Stripped from her powers and stripped from her name she came into the servants quarters and was met by a cold room. There was just one bed in the room, everyone else was gone. The door closed behind her and the sound echoed through the cold dark room. Alone… everyone was gone… Saffa was gone… She remembered the pillow fights and the long conversations in the dark. The ghost stories that made them both scream like hell when Haro decided to barge into the room just at the time the story became scary. How they had laughed after that and how long the pillow fight had lasted after they had caught their breath. Mumei was what she was called now. It took her back to the time that Azuma had broken her. She sagged through her legs and hugged herself, crying once again. It couldn't be true, it had to be a nightmare… but the pain and agony was too real. No way, that a dream or nightmare would be this painful! The door smashed open causing her to be blast into the wall. Dazed she fell onto the floor and looked with a blurry vision at the one who had come in. Moriyo stood before her with a sick grin 'hello puppet…' she whispered as she bent through her knees 'Let's play…' she whispered as she brought up a hand. The scream echoed through the room and throughout the House of the Lord of the Western Fields. Sesshoumaru placed his hands over his ears to block the screams from the one that would hold his heart forever and ever. He stood up and closed the door with his foot and blocked out the scream, but he couldn't. She was too strong in his memory, too strong did he remember her scent, too strong did he want her to be the mother of his whelps. He shifted away and appeared in the servants quarters where he found an insanely laughing Moriyo and a severely wounded woman. Moriyo turned around and smiled at him 'Came to see, how I bring the last blow to your ex mate…?' She asked sweetly. The woman on the ground, saw the shimmer of broken glass, from the corner of her eye and took it in her hand and looked at it. 'I will not give you the pleasure of doing that, you filthy whore… man stealer.' She hissed 'No, don't you dare, Faya…' she heard Sesshoumaru cry out in terror. Moriyo turned back around and looked at the woman in front of her. 'I will kill myself before you will be… able… to do so…' She gasped as she felt how a rib punctured her lung, making her cough blood. She looked at Sesshoumaru and gave him a loving smile. 'I am sorry, but I cannot live without you by my side Sesshoumaru… forgive me for being this selfish…' She whispered and ran the shard into her chest, She felt how she was caught before her head collided with the floor. She was turned around and looked in the eyes of Sesshoumaru, fear and tears swimming in the yellow orbs. 'forgive me…' she whispered as she looked into the yellow eyes of the demon that held her. 'Faya…' he whispered and pulled her close. He continued to whisper her name as he rocked her back and forth. 'Sesshoumaru…' she whispered as she coughed and gasped for breath. He looked at her as tears gathered in his eyes. Faya smiled then brought up a bloodied hand and stoked his cheek, wiped away the tears that had escaped his eyes, leaving blood in her wake. 'Crying does not become you, My Lord… I love y-' Her eyes rolled backward into her head, her hand fell down her chest and her body became limb. 'Oh well, we need to find a new servant now to clean up this mess…' He heard Moriyo say. 'We, Moriyo?' he asked as he did not look up at her. 'We, do nothing…' Moriyo backed away as he looked up and his eyes changed into crimson red. He rose to his feet, in perfect control of his emotions. 'WE!' He screamed at her all of the sudden as he walked up to her. He took her by the neck and pulled her a few inches from the ground. 'We will do nothing… The only thing for you to do is die.' He said as he ripped her head from her body. Then he turned around once again and walked up to Faya. He dropped down to his knees and took her lifeless body, cradled it to his chest like he would do with a child and whispered her name over and over again.
With a terrified scream Faya bolted upward and in total fear she looked into her cell. 'Sesshoumaru…' She whispered and then began to cry. 'What is wrong with this picture…?' she wept as she rocked back and forth. Someone wrapped her in a hug and held her close 'everything will be fine, Faya… dreams and nightmares don't always have to come true, as you may very well know…' the voice whispered 'I don't want this to come true Hisaki-san… I don't, I don't, I don't…' she wept as she wrapped her own arms around the waist of the other woman and cried herself to sleep. In the days that they had spent in the cell together they had learned so much from each other, and the reason why they both were here. Hisaki-san was the blood sister of Flamma, which made her a full aunt of Faya. They had discussed every possible idea about why they were here, and Faya was properly trained by Hisaki in the time that they were alone. She came to understand that the demon, Kasai Enkou, was a brother to her father and that he wanted to have the leadership of the Clan. He was a vicious demon that would not stop until every living relative of the leader was dead. He was a charismatic demon that knew how to manipulate others into thinking that he was the leader of the Clan. He also had connections with a lot of other Clans that despised the real leader, Kasai Kouenko. The Shinrin and Azuma Clan being amongst them. Faya had rolled her eyes, she had met with both of them. They had grown close and trusted each other with their lives. Hisaki came to know why she smelled like a dog and laughed when she listened to Faya's story. The young fire vixen was so much like her mother in her younger days that it was scary. 'A true daughter of Kasai Flamma, the one that gave her life to save that of her children.' At that point Faya came to understand that she had a twin brother named Hinote-kun and was held captive in the Azuma Clan, just as her father was. She started to cry at that time and told Hisaki what had happened when she was held captive by the Azuma Clan.
In the Crescent Moon House Sesshoumaru woke up from the same dream. He growled low in his throat and shifted away. Damn them to the lower places of the Hells. Not in any way would he allow them to hurt her, vow or no vow, he would not let Faya down… he appeared in front of the place where Faya's scent was the strongest. It was an old broken down house in the middle of nowhere. 'We need her to remember her past in order to cross that barrier… if she does not, we will never be able to take control over the palace and get enough men to kill the dog demon.' He heard the voice of Enkou. So it was all planned, huh? 'I just hope Moriyo is wise enough to keep him away from Faya for a little while longer.' So, she was in on the plan as well, huh? Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow and then heard an all too familiar voice coming at him. 'He kicked me out…' the voice said, which belonged to Moriyo. 'There is no way, no magic, no illusions, to keep that idiot away from that little bitch… The ass keeps thinking off her, and wanting her to return… Even the low life slaves, in that house see her as the Lady…' This made Sesshoumaru smile. 'No one is able to make him smile except for her… I hate the bitch… it makes me wanna kill her so badly…' She continued. 'Don't you dare… we need her alive, and we need her in full fury in order to get through that barrier… you know what Flamma told us… only if she remembers her true linage the barrier will be lifted from the palace, only then the Fujimi Clan will be able to enter the palace once again… until that time the palace will be forgotten throughout history and the Fujimi Clan will have no heritage and say in the world of demons. That is what she said… everything depends on her remembering her roots, with us… and then we will be able to take what belongs to us…' The voice belonged to Enkou. Sesshoumaru growled low in his throat, so that is why she was taken away. The second Faya would know who she truly was, the demons that were in her presence would be able to enter, her memories were the key to enter the Tamadare no Kasai… and if it were the enemies… He narrowed his eyes and shifted away. Foolish demons that forgot to place a shield around the House where one's wife was. At first both Faya and Hisaki-san jumped away and both launched a fireball. 'Damn it, stupid fire vixen…' He growled. 'Hellhound?' Faya asked as she pushed back the tears when she heard the familiar voice. 'That would be me, yeah…' She then smiled and jumped him as she kissed him breathless. Because of the impact and the kiss he lost his balance and both fell to the floor. He had come for her! He had come for her. Hisaki-san smiled as she looked at them.
'What the hell…?' They called, as they were struck with an energy wave, and raced down the stairs to the cellars. They opened the door and looked at Faya who was standing in the middle of the cell as light poured in. 'What did you just do…?' he hissed at her as he walked into the cell and sent Faya flying, she knocked into the wall and she gasped for breath but Faya looked at him and then smiled 'Can't you smell the lovely scent of musk and green tea that is filling the cell now…?' The demons looked at her and then inhaled the air. Wide eyed they looked at Faya who licked her teeth and gave a lop-side smirk. 'Fluffy-sama… come and greet these fine hosts…' she said as she stood up and painfully walked back to where she first stood. She chuckled as Sesshoumaru appeared from the shadows, stopped behind her, pulled her close and whispered in her ear that she would pay for the name later. Faya looked at him as her eyes sparkled promising him that she would do whatever he wished off her. 'We had a vow…' Enkou started as he backed away when Sesshoumaru glared in his direction. 'I remember no such thing…' Sesshoumaru said as he walked up to them. 'W-w-w-we had a Clashka vow…' Enkou whimpered before him. Faya's eyes turned wide when she heard that. 'I remember no Clashka vow…' He continued and took both arms of Enkou in his hands. 'Faya…?' He then asked. 'I don't really care about what happens to him. But will you please do that when we're not around…?' she asked as she pointed at Hisaki-san and herself. 'Who is she?' He asked 'she is the blood sister of my mother…' Faya answered. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow 'Really now..?' he asked and Faya nodded. Before any of the two could say another thing they were looking at the house they had been held in. Hisaki closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. 'Free…' She whispered and looked at the house. 'Oh lovely wind and rain, lovely earth at my feet, come and head my call…' She suddenly whispered as the wind picked up and clouds began to gather. It started to rain as the earth rose to her waist and caught fire… Yellow, green and blue flames appeared from the fire and she made the ball bigger. Faya opened her mouth but before she could say anything Sesshoumaru appeared behind Faya, causing her to shrug, and Hisaki-san released the rock with flames and the house caught fire. As they watched the house burn to the ground Sesshoumaru nuzzled Faya's neck. She chuckled and then squealed as he bit her earlobe. Hisaki-san looked at the pair and smiled. 'Do you want to stay over?… let go… no, do not make me call you that again…' she then said as Sesshoumaru did not want to let go of her and Faya glared at him. 'As I was asking, do you want to stay over and recover for a while?' She asked her aunt. Faya noticed that she had the same ash blond hair and same amber eyes as her mother had in her memory. Hisaki-san looked at Sesshoumaru and he nodded. 'It would be lovely… thank you…' They all shifted toward the Crescent Moon House and opened the front door. Faya was knocked off of her feet by two servants, Haro and Jiro who held a weak spot for her and saw Faya as a sister and would protect her as such. The three fell in a laughing fit as both Sesshoumaru and Hisaki-san looked down at her. Faya gave a guilty shrug and laughed again. Tobikuma-san had apparently appeared out of nowhere and took the two younger servants off of Faya. He smiled down at her, causing Faya to suppress a shiver. His smiles were scarier than those of Sesshoumaru. Tobikuma-san bowed and walked away with the two younger servants under his arms. 'thank you Tobikuma-san…' she called out. Tobikuma-san stopped, turned around, gave a smile, bowed and then went downstairs with the two younger servants. Another half demon appeared and bowed at Hisaki-san. 'Welcome home My Lord, Faya-sama… Honored guest, welcome to the Crescent Moon House. Please come in and go the visitor's room. Tea and snacks will be brought to you as soon as possible.' Faya smiled at the servant as Sesshoumaru pulled her back to her feet. 'If you don't mind we would all like to go to bed…' Faya said as she felt a hand of Sesshoumaru stroking the lower part of her back. 'Thank you Yemon-san… you may retreat for the night.' Faya said as she nodded at the servant. 'as you wish Faya-sama…' he said bowed again and retreated. 'You've got the commands well under control here…' Hisaki-san said with a suggestive chuckle as she looked at her niece. 'Let me bring you to your room…' Faya smiled as she took the hand of her aunt ignoring her question, winked at Sesshoumaru and walked with her aunt up the stairs to the guest room in the right wing of the House. Sesshoumaru watched them leave with a smile.
Saffa appeared from one of the rooms in the guest wing as Faya and Hisaki-san walked into it. They looked at each other and smile appeared on both faces. 'Saffa, sweet, sweet Saffa…' She whispered and started to run up to her. Saffa's eyes welled up and met Faya halfway the corridor. They looked at each other started to laugh and hugged each other. 'Sweet, sweet, sweet Saffa…' She whispered again as she closed her eyes. 'It is so good to see you again… my dear friend…' Faya whispered as tears slid across her face. They heard a gentle cough behind Faya and Saffa opened her eyes and looked at the guest. Saffa's eyes turned wide, hastily pulled herself away from Faya and curtsied at her. 'Forgive me, honored guest, I was happy to see my friend again… for-' Saffa whispered but Hisaki-san raised her hand and shook her head 'there is nothing to forgive. Faya told me everything about you… So I can imagine that you two are happy to see each other again.' She said and looked at the two 'What happened to your voice?' Faya now asked and then noticed the scars. 'I'll tell you in the morning Faya… let me take the guest over…' she said as she looked from Faya at Hisaki-san 'I do think that you want to be somewhere else at this moment…' And gave her a small nudge in the direction of the other wing. 'Goodnight aunt… I will leave you in the save hands of my friend now…' She said as she bowed and then looked at her. They laughed, and Hisaki-san pulled her in a hug. She then let go of her niece, petted her on the cheek and then disappeared in to the bathroom that was now filled with steam and incenses. Faya watched her until the door closed and then ran up to the other wing.
Before the wing she stopped and looked down. There were arrows pointing her at the right direction. She chuckled and followed the arrows picking them up in the process, just in case. She stopped before the master bedroom door and chuckled as she flushed. She knocked and entered. Sesshoumaru looked up as Faya walked in closed the door and held up the cards, with a questionable face, causing him to chuckle low in his throat and shrugged. Faya put the cards down and closed her eyes as she pulled the leather strap out of her hair and started to sway her hips at a rhythm only she could hear. She felt how his eyes followed her every move and how his scent grew stronger with every piece of clothing that fell to the floor. As she stood there naked before him and opened her eyes Sesshoumaru saw amber specks in her green orbs. He raised a hand that she took and stepped into the bath she stood there and Sesshoumaru came up from his leaning position and with his other hand he followed her leg up to her hip took her other hand and made Faya bent through her knees and went in to the water. They looked at each other and Sesshoumaru placed his hands on her face as he rubbed the tears away that were flowing from her eyes. Faya hadn't even known that she was crying until he made the gesture. She closed her eyes and gave an embarrassed smile, she opened them again and he kissed her. Soft almost shy at first, but soon passion got the better of them and the kiss grew more hungrily. Passion flared as their hands started to explore their bodies, as if they had been apart for years, instead of a month. He pulled her closer and Faya groaned in the kiss as she felt how hard he really was. Their scents made them dizzy and Sesshoumaru pulled her onto him. He thrust deep in to her and she threw her head in her neck the skin that got exposed was easy target for Sesshoumaru as he kissed and nibbled the exposed skin. He sucked a nipple as he kneaded the other breast. Faya rocked back and forth to feel him deeper in her. Oh, how she wanted him, needed him, yearned for him. His touch, his mouth, his body… his everything. She couldn't get enough of him. They settled down in a rhythm as Faya kissed, and licked his neck as his head rolled to the side, meanwhile kneading her breasts and rubbing her body. Her fingers ghosted over his chest making every place where they had connected his skin burned. He pushed her down onto him once again causing Faya to whimper in pleasure. He did it again and once again he was rewarded with a wanting whimper from his mate. He loved the sound as he pushed her down once again. His eyes shot open as he felt her teeth settle down in the skin of his neck. He took a handful of her hair and pulled her head from his neck. They looked at each other and he gave her a passionate open mouthed kiss. They both needed release and Sesshoumaru took hold of her hips as he sped up, the bathroom filling with their moans and groans. Faya toppled over the edge, taking Sesshoumaru with her as she contracted her lower muscles. Panting, Faya lay her head on his shoulder, as she closed her eyes. A soft purring sound escaping from her throat, causing Sesshoumaru to chuckle and Faya hit his chest in response. 'Not funny…' she whispered. 'It is…' He answered as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer, inhaling her scent as he did so and closed his eyes. His mate, his friend, his everything… he would never let her go anywhere without him… ever again…
BAIBAI now and till next time.
Meaning of the names and words:
Hisaki – flames (blood sister to Flamma, aunt to Faya)
Hinote – flames (twin brother of Faya)
Yemon (boys name) – guarding the gates {I found that name very fitting for a half demon that is letting them come into the house.}
