Chapter 11: What Women Do
…
Sesshomaru hasn't seen Icis much since her heat had made her ill at the world and she locked herself in her room after the great display her powers had made. Word from the servants said she has been spending most of her time with the wise woman out at the training grounds for the soldiers. His general came to him and said Icis had even been sparring with the young recruits out before lunch. 'Perhaps Icis is taking things into her own hands. The force of her power should be enough to drive any man mad and yet she does not bow. This one should speak with Icis about her progress. A mate will need to be found for her soon...her heat rose a few heads.' The general who had been keeping tabs on Icis is one of the ones that had been asking about her availability to be courted. 'Although he would not be my choice for her. He is too old...and has been known to find company in more than one woman.' Just then an aura expands in the hall writhing through the walls letting all know of the beings displeasure. Standing Sesshomaru walks to his door eyes narrowed as he opens the shoji screen door annoyed.
Icis stalks through the halls her aura expanding greatly due to her enraged state. "That worthless no good-."
"Miss Icis. Is there something troubling you?" Icis looks up at the male speaking finding the General his large chest and arms alone equaling two of her.
"Nothing that you need to worry about. It is just...ignorance of the men." Icis says slowly watching the male intensely his eyes showing amusement.
"I see."
"I'm sure you do." Icis says her aura calming to sink back into her skin but not far enough to allow the general close to her comfortably.
"I have heard you are training out at my grounds." The general says trying to start conversation and Icis nods not really wanting to converse with the big oaf.
"One of your men, Ryuuki is teaching me skills with a sword." The general frowns. "You are a woman why would you need to learn to use a sword?"
"I already knew how to use a sword I simply wanted to advance my training." Icis says sourly hearing the sexism in his voice. "Rather than sit back and watch as men fight for me I'd like to do it myself."
"You're a woman how could you know how to do anything more than lie in bed and bear children." The general scoffs sending rage through Icis.
"How dare you." Icis growls out offended.
Sesshomaru had been watching the conversation for some time observing Icis's behavior toward the general and how she conducts herself outside of his presence. As it stands Icis is capable and at the moment very displeased.
"It is the truth woman. Do not try to deny that the true reason you are not here is to bed our lord and give him a strong heir. All women are just tools that men are able to use." The general says offhandedly looking away from Icis which was a big mistake. Icis had the General pinned to the wall fangs bared at him choking the life out of him with her small hands.
Sesshomaru rushes to Icis's back pulling her away from the general but she fights his hold angrily.
"That is enough Icis." Sesshomaru orders.
"Enough? This pathetic excuse for a general? And you protect him?" Icis snarls ripping out of his hold her eyes flaming orbs of anger.
"What do you teach your men? That they can treat a woman so badly?" Icis snaps her fangs still lengthy and dangerous. "It's pathetic how incorrigible someone who is said to be so honorable is a disgusting pig!" Icis sneers glaring at the general.
"Keep quiet bitch. You don't know what you speak of. That is why women are only meant to be looked at and to keep the bed warm." Icis's fists clench at her sides but she remains away like Sesshomaru said while he holds back the general.
"Rot in hell bastard." Icis says a dark calm coming over her as she turns and walks away to her room.
