I felt weird as I started back to my chambers. Sesshomaru was being gentle and sharing personal memories with me. I still felt like I could not trust him. But I was trying. Akuma would be proud of me. I stepped into my chambers and let out a sigh.
Apple? Are you in here? I called as I undid my hair. No one answered. I suddenly felt lonely. I missed Mokoto and Akuma terribly. I shook out my hair and started toward my bathing chambers. But there was someone knocking on my door.
I turned and slid the door open. An unfamiliar man stood at the door. He was very handsome and had beautiful gray colored hair. It was pulled back in a high pony tail. His eyes were a stoney gray. His face all sharp angles. He wore a tunic of brown fur. And some type of skirt on his legs.
"Sorry to bother you Miss. But I seamed to have lost my way. I really have no idea where I am. Would you mind sending me in the right direction?" He asked politely.
Oh! Yes of course! But I hardly know my way around this place myself. If you will just wait one moment I will call someone to help you. I smiled gently. This must be the wolf Prince.
I turned to go to my bell pull but he followed. I stopped for a second. But decided to shrug it off. I walked over to my bed and tugged on the thick rope that would call Apple.
How was your journey here My Lord? I asked turning around. The prince was near the door. He slid it closed. My heart beat picked up. I felt scared.
"It was long. But worth it. What is your name Woman?" The wolf asked. He started twords me.
I stood my ground. Chinmoku My Lord. Lady of the West. I said proudly. His steps faltered for a second. But he shrugged and continued toward me.
"Is that so? That Dog Lord has no right to have something so beautiful under his arm." He said stopping a foot or so away form me.
I pinned my ears. I thank you for the complement. But please do not try anything. I said trying to walk past him. He blocked my way.
"You do not seam to understand. I am the Prince of the Northern Lands. I get what I want when I want it!" He grabbed my forearm with bruising strength.
I tried to jerk away. You do not understand. I am trying to prevent a war! Not start one! Release me this instant! My Chambermaid will be along shortly! I hissed at the man.
He laughed bitterly. "This palace is huge. It will take a long while for anyone to show up." He shook me harshly.
My head snapped back and forth three times. My head ached. With a yowl I cuffed the man on the side of the head and when he released me I ran to the door. I could hear Sesshomaru outside. His deep voice coming toward my door.
My door slid open and Sesshomaru appeared. I threw myself around his middle. Something wet covering my face.
"Chinmoku? What's wrong? Are you all rite?" He asked hugging me back.
I nodded and took in his familiar sent. I let him hold me. Let him comfort me. It felt nice.
"Oh! Your the Lord of this castle! Your Lady was just calling me a servant. I can't find my chambers." The Wolf laughed. I could hear the threat in his voice if I told Sesshomaru what he did.
" Really? If that was all that was going on. Why would my Mate be crying?" Sesshomaru's Voice grew deathly quiet.
I pulled away from him slightly. No. No. It's nothing. Please show The Prince to his chambers. I need a bath. I said smiling. Sesshomaru arched a brow at me.
"Very well. I will send Apple soon. Please come with me." He said as he gently hugged me. I slowly hugged him back.
And they both walked away. I silently closed The door and rested my head on it. I was such a coward. I ran from one monster to another. I hated the way I felt. I felt weak. Like I could not handle myself. I sighed loudly.
I wasn't sleeping well. I felt ill. My head ached and My skin felt warm. I walked into my bathing chambers and got in the cold water. Not wanting to wait for Apple to warm it up.
I sunk all the way under. Enjoying the silence. To day in the kitchens it had been to loud. So many demons chattering and gossiping I could barely think. I sat up for a breath.
I looked around the empty room. I missed Akuma and Mokoto terribly. But they had been summoned to the academy. Yourochie more than likely wanted Mokoto back. To bad for him that I would be keeping Mokoto. Akuma would be sure to bring him back.
I let all the air out of my chest in a loud groan. Why was it so boring without Akuma to tell me how to be a proper Lady? Not that Apple didn't stress the fact enough.
I layed my head back on the white marble floors. Staring up at the ceiling. I was about to go into heat. How would Sesshomaru react? Strong and forceful like he had before? Or would he leave me alone? I hoped for the second one.
It's not that Sesshomaru wasn't handsome. He was a beautiful man. He was strong and cared for what he loved. And at the moment. It seamed he loved me. But I'm sure tomorrow or the next day I would anger him in some way. And he would lash out at me.
I was prepared for this. I knew to expect this from him. He was a man who liked to cause trouble for others. Not huge trouble. Just enough to make the one under his thumb feel helpless and alone.
I didn't feel helpless and alone at the moment. For I knew that Akuma and Mokoto would be returning in six days time. I knew as soon as Akuma got back he would want to be as close to me as possible. Just before he left he told me he was having his older Brother take his place for the week.
I couldn't quiet recall the name. But Akuma had said that He was just the same as himself. I felt somewhat comforted by this. At least I would have someone to talk to during my bath. I laughed at this thought. How dependent on others I had become!
Suddenly there was a knock on my bathing chamber doors. Come in I called without thinking. The door slid open as I sat up to see who it was. Sesshomaru stood in the doorway. Eyes cast downward.
"May I sit with you?" He asked quietly. I covered my chest and blushed.
Of course! There is a screen right there. I nodded my head to the right. He turned and disappeared behind Mokoto and Akuma's screen.
It was quiet for a long while. I relaxed my position and sunk deeper into the water.
"What happened yesterday?" His voice asked gently. I jumped slightly. His whisper was even loud.
I was abducted by seven men. I stated. They all reeked of graveyard dirt. He made a noise that I took as continue with your story.
Well. They carried me to a cave in some type of mettle thing. There was Jakotsu. He was odd. His kimono was purple and green. It left his legs uncovered.
Next was Suiekotsu. He had long metal claws. And he was not gentle. He was in fact very rough. And had enough strength to throw me about like I weighed nothing.
Next was Ginkotsu. I do not think he was a human. His body was made of metal. And he was able to firer things from his body. He was the one that trapped me in the mettle thing.
Next comes Kyoukotsu. He was huge. At least nine feet tall. I think he was the most gentle Of the group. He had a gentle voice.
Mukotsu was a disgusting little toad that had no respect for personal space. He was short and very ugly. I didn't even want him near me.
And last. That I know the name of. Is Bankotsu. He reminded me of you. He was the leader of the group. And he was the one that whipped me. But he didn't want any of the other men near me. He only let Jakotsu sit next to me.
"These men are called The Band of Seven. They are killers." Sesshmoru said gently.
Well they weren't all that bad. They left me alone. I was tired anyway. I slept a little. I said stretching. My lower back needed to have the knots worked out of it.
"Tell me what happened earlier. With the Prince. What did he do to you?" He asked nonchalantly.
Nothing. I kind of panicked when no one was with him to show him around. And I was afraid that you would have been angry that we were alone in my room together. I don't want you to be mad at me any more. I stuck as close to the truth as much as possible.
"He is not a good man Chinmoku. Please stay close to me while he is here. He has already tried to get Apple in his bed. I had to send the poor demon to rest for the day." He said in a pleading tone.
Ok. I said after a second. He was right about the Prince. He was dangerous because he wouldn't mind starting a war. I got out of the water and grabbed a drying cloth. I started to dry myself.
"How are you feeling? Do you want to go to diner?" Sesshomaru asked stepping from behind the screen.
I had wrapped the cloth around my body already. I feel fine. My stomach hurts a little. But that is to be expected. I would like to go to diner and the meeting after if that is alright. I said smiling up at him. He was a foot or so away.
"Of course you can. And you are to go into heat soon. Your stomach is going to be sore." He said laughing lightly.
I smiled as I walked past him. I walked into my closet and grabbed a blue and white Kimono. He stayed in the bathroom. I dropped the towel and slipped on the kimono.
I was just having troubles tying my blue Obi when Sesshomaru's hands took the cloth.
"You looked like you needed help." He chuckled. He tied the Obi in a near perfect bow in the back.
Thank you I said softly. I started to braid my hair. It was starting to get way to long. I needed a hair cut.
"Well. Let's get going. Shale we?" He asked as he offered me his arm.
I took it slowly and let Him lead my from the room. My braid was tied with a blue ribbon.
"Just stay close to me and I wont let him nor his guard near you. They seam to not respect women very much. I do not know how he will handle you joining the men after diner. But I will take care of that. So don't worry. Ok?" He asked smiling down at me.
I only nodded. We walked into the dining hall. It was filled with nicely dressed demons. Some must have come with the Prince. Because I didn't recognize some of them. They were also dressed oddly. Wearing thin see through satin and veils over there faces.
Sesshomaru pulled me toward Apple. I grinned and let go of his arm and trotted to her side. Hello my friend! Where have you been all day? Did that Prince do something to you? I questioned.
"Chinmoku! Calm down! I'm just fine. The Prince is a pampas basterd yes. But I'm OK. I'm sorry to have made you worry." Apple said embracing me.
I let myself be hugged. She was OK. There was nothing to worry about. I detached myself from her and smiled. I spent the entire day with Sesshomaru today. It was... Nice. I said softly. Only she could hear. She smiled and nodded.
"I'm glad to hear that you have forgiven him. Now you can take your place by his side as Lady of the West. Bare him some pups!" Apple laughed.
I didn't have the heart to tell her that I had yet to forgive him. I was just doing this to make everyone happy. What is the point of tons of people being unhappy. Just so I could be happy?
A weight on my lower back made me look up. It was one of the women The Prince had brought with him. She was extremely beautiful. Long raven hair and cold green eyes. A perfect tattoo that swirled off of her left eye down onto her cheek. The clothes she wore were purple and light pink.
"You must be one of the Dog Lords concubines. What is he like?" She giggled. Her voice sounded like it was used to lure men to her bed.
I didn't like her. And what was a concubine? Sorry Miss. But I know not of what you speak. But I must return to My Mate. I didn't want to be near this woman. I quickly strode to Sesshomaru's side. He was in a deep conversation with Arekkusu, The gardener.
I waited by his side quietly. He unconsciously grabbed my right hand. I let him hold it. He seamed mad at Arekkusu. Talking so quietly. I couldn't hear. But with his other hand he was motioning in a mad manner.
I was glad no one I didn't know came to bother me. Weather it was because of Sesshomaru or because they could smell that I was about to go into heat. I did not know. But I was still glad.
"So. Your the Dog Lords Mate!" Her voice mad me jump. It was the same one from before. I wanted to growl.
I am. My name is Chinmoku. I stated with a polite smile at the woman. I really didn't want her near me. She gave me a bad feeling. She smiled and nodded.
"You look really young. How old are you?" She asked crossing her arms over he light pink satin top. It left her mid rift uncovered.
I'm fourteen. I stated shortly. I wanted to lash out at this woman. She was leering at Sesshomaru. Almost drooling. But I kept my face free of emotion.
"Only fourteen? Hmm... I don't think you can please him properly." She suddenly shoved me out of the way and attached herself to Sesshomaru.
I remained calm. Collected and quiet. Sesshomaru shoved the girl away from him and glared at her.
"Are you so much of a whore that you throw yourself at men you do not know! And in front of my Mate no less! You and that Prince of yours are running on thin ice!" He hissed at the woman.
She drew back to slap him. Without thinking I grabbed her wrist. She glared at me. I smiled.
Dinner is about to start Miss. Please join your companions at the table. I said letting her hand go. She huffed and walked away. I still had the smile on my face. I dropped it and glared at her.
"Ignore her. Shes one of the Princes concubines. She's used to getting what she wants and when she wants it. But You are the Lady of this house. Put her in her place." Sesshomaru said grabbing me around the waist.
I blushed as he ran his nose along my cheek. "It's so easy to make you blush!" He chuckled.
Quit it! I said with a laugh. Not here. I tried to push out of his arms. But to no avail.
"No. Your mine. Why not brag about it?" He whispered his lips brushing my ear.
I giggled. That was something that I was supposed to do right? Laugh and flirt? He laughed and let me go. Still holding my hand.
I was sure I was blushing profusely. But I let myself be pulled into the dinning room. I was put at Sesshomaru's right. The Prince on my right and all of his women came next. It appeared there were ten.
I sat as close to Sesshomaru as I could. Which was so close our thies were touching. He welcomed me into his side and wrapped his arm around my waist. Not trying to cuddle this time. It was more like he was protecting me from the Prince.
Who was currently leering at my chest. I wanted to glare at him but I settled for having a conversation with Sesshomaru.
How long are they going to be staying My Lord? I asked quietly. I didn't want to offend the Prince. What was his name any way?
"Just three more days. We can put up with them that long. Can't we?" He smiled down at me.
I smiled back and nodded. Three more days of that man looking at me like he is now! This Is quite possibly the worst day of my new life. I say new because Once I became Chinmoku. I was... Almost re borne. I like to think of it that way at least.
Sesshomaru slid his hand off of my waist and clapped his hands. Calling for attention. "I would like to welcome The Prince of the Wolves into my home. Everyone This is Nickurashii. (Meaning Hateful)" Sesshomaru motioned to the Prince.
The wolf nodded his head in thank you. His name suited him. His parents must have been very smart.
And with that. Dinner was served. It was Cooked meat. I loved it! It was perfectly cooked. But I ate politely. Taking small bites of the already cut meat.
I was almost done when Sesshomaru started to tug on my brade. I elbowed him gently. He looked down at me surprised.
"What is it? Did you not like dinner?" He asked gently. I smiled at him. He was good.
No it's fine. Sorry. Didn't mean to bump you. I said smiling lightly. He smiled back and continued to eat. I did as well. But once again my braid was yanked on. This time almost painfully.
It was then I realized that it was not Sesshomaru tugging on my hair. It was Nickurashii. He was now eating like some animal. I emeatitly dropped my head and felt ill.
I could not say anything. It was very important that I do not say anything. I could start a useless war. So I remained still and quiet. I hated that I had to sit next to this disgusting Man.
He was once again leering in my direction. I was looking down and could only see Him out of the corner of my eye. He was literally licking his lips. I tried to scoot farther away from him. But that was impossible.
I waited for Sesshomaru to say diner was done. And when the moment finally came I sighed loudly.
"Dinner is over. Please will all the Men of My court join Me in My Study." Sesshomaru stated. It didn't come out as a question.
He stood before me and helped me up. "Did you enjoy dinner?" He asked as we were the first to walk out of the room.
Yes. It was very good. I smiled. I felt horrid. My stomach was in knots and I had maybe a day before I went into heat fully. Oh! How much worse could this week get!
"Something seams wrong? Are you sure you want to do this? Jisatsu (Meaning Suicide), Akumas Older Brother is finally awake. He will be meeting us in My Study. I could have him escort you to your chambers." He said as we passed My Chambers. Then his.
I thought for a second. Would it be alright if I stayed with you? But... No. No. I will just go to bed... I trailed off slowing a little.
He tugged me forward. "No. You will stay with me tonight. I will propose your idea to the Prince. Just remain by my side. Ok?" He asked not looking at me.
There was something on his face. Something pink. I reached up with the hand he wasn't holding and gently touched his cheek. He faltered for a second and looked down at me.
He was blushing! I couldn't believe my eyes. But I didn't want to embarrass him in front of all the men that were walking behind us. So I just smiled gently and dropped my hand. Ok. I'll stay by your side. I smiled up at him.
He opened a door to a large room. It had a desk in the corner and a table with Sake jugs in the middle of it. I was sat at Sesshomaru's right once again.
The prince was looking at me odd. "What's this woman doing in here Sesshomaru?" He asked sounding slightly displeased.
"She is here because I want her here. And to you I am My Lord." Sesshomaru said in a tone that scared me slightly.
There was at least seven men in the room. Sesshomaru included. There were two brothers that look like Neko Youki. They were smiling sweetly at me. They look nice. But I have never seen them before. Their hair was a deep brown and it was cropped short.
Next came A massive Inu Youki. He looked familiar. This must have been Akumas Brother. He was much taller than Akuma. And had broader shoulders. His eyes were kinder than Akumas. But the same color. He smiled at me. I returned the gesture.
There was a fat man that I reconsigned as The art teacher. He was a Bear Youki. And he was currently trying to poor himself a cup of Sake. He was elderly. His death was near. So I stood and walked over to poor him some sake.
As I took the jug from his hands he looked up surprised. A smile came over his lips when he reconsigned me. "My Lady! You do not have to poor sake for an old man like me!" He said in his weak voice.
I smiled and pored him a cup. Nonsense. You are my elder and you are always so nice to Mokoto. This is nothing. I set the jug down.
He smiled at me and drank his sake peacefully. Sesshomaru was currently talking to the Prince about something. So I stood to the side and waited.
"My Lady. I hope you do not mind my interruption." A gentle voice stated.
I looked up and saw the older looking Neko Brother. I smiled and shook my head. You are no burden. My name is Chinmoku. I bowed slightly
The man bowed back. "I am Toursuto (Meaning Trust). You seam... Much to nice to be mated to The Lord." He said with a teasing smile on his face.
I giggled. He can be mean at times. But I'm trying to make him better. I laughed again. Toursuto laughed deeply.
"Your different from other Ladies that I've met. Your not like a doll." He stated.
I smiled. Well. I try. I don't really know how to act like a doll. But my friend Apple says as soon as I finish growing. That I will look like one. I laughed.
There was a weight on my shoulder. I glanced up to see an irate looking Sesshomaru.
"It's time for the Prince to leave. There will soon be a war." He growled as he started to push me toward the door.
I froze. I became immoveable. What? What is wrong? I asked turning and looking up at him. His amber eyes were red around his pupils. Something must have been said.
"That basterd said you were a whore and you were good for nothing but a good fuck. I will see him and his Father dead!" He was yelling now.
A tingle ran down my spine. Telling me someone was Approaching. I whirled around Sesshomaru and grabbed the charging Wolf Price by the throat. He was looking at me wide eyed. I slammed him on the ground. You do not seam to know your place in My Mate's home. I will tell you your place.
You are not higher than I nor Him. You are not aloud to tell any what to do here. Your are to respect all in this home! Do I make myself clear? I snarled.
He nodded as much as he could. I wanted to kill this monster. But refrained.
Now you have caused me an UN-needed argument! I yelled as I thrust away from him.
He sat up coughing. I turned to the men in the room. I am very sorry you had to see that. I fear I have represented My Mate in a bad way. Pleases do not let my actions reflect on My Mate. I said bowing deeply.
"Of course not My Lady. If you ask me. The beast deserved it. But if I were you. I would go handle your Mate." The other Neko, younger looking brother stated.
I glanced back at Sesshomaru. He was growling at the now standing Prince. I nodded to the group of men and whirled out of the room. Dragging a ridged Sesshomaru with me.
"I should tear that child's head off." He yelled. I laughed as I pulled him into his chambers.
Your being silly. Just calm down. It's nothing to worry about. I said closing his door.
"What do you mean! Do you not care about what he has called you!" He yelled charging me.
I stood still. You don't listen do you? I asked quietly looking down. He stopped an inch away from me.
"What are you talking about? I listened to you all day!" He yelled waving his hands.
I have told you already. I don't mind being called names. One because I just simply do not care. And two. You and I both know that it is not true. Calm down and go to sleep. I will see you in the morning. Promise me you will stay in here.
I said looking up at him. He was calm now. What I had said must have broke through him. "But... Ok. I will." He smiled.
I smiled back and turned to go. But I was pulled back and he was holding my face gently.
"I care for you. The only reason I reacted like I did was because I care for you. " He whispered laying his for head on mine.
I blushed. I... I know. I c-care for you as well. I whispered. And for a split second. I wanted to kiss him. So I did. I leaned forward and gave him a simple peck on the lips.
And before he could react. I slid the door open and closed it. And walked into my room. I slid the door closed and gasped when a massive shadow blocked my way.
"My Lady. Do not be alarmed. My name is Jisatsu. I am Akumas Older Brother. An extremely deep voice stated.
I laughed. You scared me. It's very nice to meet you. Please call me Chinmoku. I smiled up at him.
"Jisatsu! Out of the way! Time for a quick bath then bed!" Apple said as she ripped me from in front of the man.
My kimono was torn off and I leapt into the now warm pool. I stayed under the surface for a long time. Just laying there.
I felt disgusted with myself. I really truly did not trust the Man I had just kissed. I was terrified of him. I didn't want to be closer to him. But Akuma would be mad if I distanced my self from him.
I really had no idea what to do. I was trapped once again. I was cranky. Sore. And REALLY tired. I would have to sleep for quite sometime.
But it wasn't like I didn't sleep. I slept tons! More than needed! The past few days... I was just having nightmares.
I couldn't remember them after I had awoke. But I felt they were important for me to remember. But no matter how I tried. I couldn't.
I came up for a breath and went back under before Apple could rub oil on my hair.
What would Mokoto think? Would he want me to get close to that Man as well? Or would he want me to stay away from him? I was beginning to get stressed out. I couldn't make everyone happy at once! Maybe I should just...
I closed my eyes and layed still for a long time. Things were getting to hard. I was tired. I was tired of fighting. I was tired of Men thinking they could just throw me around. I was just tired.
So. I came to the conclusion. That I would lay in bed tomorrow. I would lay in bed all day and just sleep. I was almost excited for tomorrow.
I sat up and let Apple mess with my hair. Akumas Brother was behind his screen.
"So Chinmoku. How was your day today?" She asked. She wanted to know everything that I did.
I laughed. It was tiring. I need some sleep. I said yawing. I didn't really want to tell her what We had done the whole day.
"You seam tense. I will call Yuma and have him come and work the knots out of your back. I will be right back." Apple said as she finished rubbing oil in my hair.
I nodded. I did need to have the back fixed. It was starting to hurt. I just layed there for a while. Almost asleep when Apple nudged me out of the water. I was wrapped in a thin silk kimono and walked out of my room.
I was to sleepy now. The sweet flowery sent of the oil that was on my hair lulled me into a dream like state. I wasn't fully awake. Nor fully asleep. But if Apple wasn't guiding me I would just wander till I did fall fully asleep.
I was brought to a room that smelled of incense and was lit with tons of candles. There was a shallow pool of water in the center of the room. Candles placed on Lilly pads floated around the surface.
"Yuma is the very best Chinmoku. I will be back in an hour or so."Apple said shoving me inside. She slid the door closed.
I stood awkwardly for a second. But it was then that I noticed the tall lanky demon leaning against the wall next to me. A foot away.
It was a man. But looked like a thin layer of fur covered his entire body. His eyes were an emerald green. His nose came out to a snout. Ears and a long thin tail twitching next to me.
"Your the Lady of this castle? You look young." He said as he shrugged off the wall. His voice was deep and sounded like a purr.
I bowed to the man. Yes I am the Lady. My name is Chinmoku. And I'm only fourteen. I smiled lightly.
"Hmm... Well. Let's get started." He walked toward the pool and stepped in.
I slowly followed. Not really sure of that to do. He smiled and pointed to a table that was on the other side of the little pool. I nodded and walked over to it.
"Just relax OK? My name is Yuma. And I'm here for you." He laughed out loud.
It's nice to meet you. And I'm sorry. I've just been stressed out lately. I sat on the table. It was made of some type of soft animal pelt.
"Well. Take your kimono off and we'll talk about it." He smiled bending to splash the water on his legs.
I faltered for a second but slid off my kimono anyway. I'm sure if Apple trusted this man enough to leave me alone with him. Then I was fine.
I layed face down on the table. Folding my arms under my head. I sighed loudly.
Hands ran over my shoulders and started to rub the knots out of them.
"I have heard lots about you My Lady. That your quite simply the nicest person most of the demons have met in this House." He said softly.
I laughed lightly. I don't think you have heard right. I try to make everyone happy. But it's starting to get hard. I mumbled.
He made and agreeing noise. "Well your trying to hard. Your back feels like a rock. Why are you trying to make everyone happy?" He asked.
It was such a simple question. But it almost brought tears to my eyes. I Don't see the need to have people un happy. Everyone deserves to be happy.
He again made the agreeing noise. I was more like a grunt. We were in silence for a while. I had fallen into the same dream like state. I had let my seances roam free. Not really caring what I heard or smelt.
I enjoyed my self for the first time in a long time. Yuma had started to hum. I'm not sure what song it was but I recognized it. From some distant memory.
What is that you are humming? I asked quietly. He froze for a second but the continued.
"Do you recognize it?" He asked softly. His voice was lulling me into sleep.
I nodded. I do remember it from somewhere. I'm just not sure from where. I sighed.
He grew still once again. "You have heard this song before? Are you sure? Where?" He sounded slightly panicked.
I sat up slightly. I'm... I'm not sure. I can't remember where I heard it from.
He was looking wide eyed at me. "That is Wimbo wa kifo. The song of death. It comes from my Tribe deep in the Kenya jungle. Tell me were you have heard this song. Only Ones who are great killers Have heard this song." He said grabbing my shoulders and shaking me lightly.
I really truly do not remember. I... It must have been from when I was just a baby... I'm sorry if I have angered you. I whispered looking away.
He jerked away from me as if I had smacked him. "You have not angered me. I hold you in higher respect now. Please lie down. Let me finish." His voice became gentle.
I slowly layed back down. He rubbed my lower back. Once again humming A new song.
"May I say something with out displeasing My Lady?" He whispered. I nodded and sighed.
"You have an amazing body. As soon as you finish growing. Your going to be beautiful." He whispered.
I blushed. T-thankyou Yuma. Please. Call me Chinmoku. I stuttered. His elbow was now working knots out of my back.
"If you ever... Fell like you need anything. Anything at all. Come to me. Ok? Promise me." He purred. I felt something twinge inside my stomach.
I felt somewhat like anger. But I just nodded and sat up. He didn't try to stop me. So I stood and put on my Kimono. I felt amazing! No soreness whatsoever! I slowly walked out.
My room was right across the hall. I walked in and almost ran to my bed. I was out in seconds.
