This is an old story I wrote forever ago. I realize there are issues in the plot, etc. I am simply posting it for some to read on the side of my normal updates. I am posting it unedited, from when I wrote it so long ago, so expect random issues, either in plotting, spelling, grammar, who knows. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Someday I would love to go through and edit it, but right now I am still focusing on my newest story.

Although this was written a long time ago and I don't plan on editing it now, I still welcome all reviews, especially constructive criticism!

Thanks! Enjoy.

Chapter 11

Another morning. Another cloudy day. Another knock at my door. Zuki walked in with a smile on her face. She looked around and started tidying the room up. "Good morning Priestess. How are you this morning?" She said in her nice and soft voice.

I pushed the thick blankets away from my body and moved my legs over the side of the bed. "Well, tired." I laughed a little. "How are you Zuki?"

"I am very good. It seems Sesshoumaru is in a very good mood and that always helps on us servants." She said with a sweet chuckle. He is in a good mood? Hmm. That's nice I guess, but why?

"Alright. Is there anything else?" I asked as I got up and went to the balcony doors, opening them and staring up at the dark clouds. It's been storming for a few days now.

"Yes. He said that you can bathe in the onsen you were in yesterday and then meet him in his down stairs study." She finished and went to the door after setting a towel down on the bed.

"Okay. Thank you. Have a good day Zuki. Don't work to hard!" I winked a little and she left. I grabbed my towel and headed to the onsen. Once I got to the door to his personal onsen I opened it and walked in.

"Hey! What are you doing?" I heard someone ask. I turned seeing the girl that guided me here yesterday. "You're not allowed in there you whore." She said, glaring at me angrily.

I was about to walk towards her when I felt a hand on my shoulder. The servant seemed to freeze. "Senri. I see you have not met Priestess Kitai yet?" Sesshoumaru's voice said coldly from behind me.

Senri bowed a little and stood back up. "Sorry mi'Lord."

"Don't say sorry to me. Say sorry to the Priestess." Sesshoumaru replied sharply.

"I am sorry Priestess Kitai." With that she scurried off. God. Why are people so mean to me. Zuki is so nice but some of the servants are real bitchy.

"Good morning Kitai." Sesshoumaru said after she had disappeared.

I turned and looked up at him. Gosh, why am I so short? He was only wearing his hakamas, his hair drenched and his chest glistening with water droplets. "Hi." I said quietly. He stared down at me for a few minutes then turned and went back to the onsen.

I followed to the spot I had gone to yesterday, feeling weird about letting him see my body still. "Are you coming in?" I heard Sesshoumaru say. Although I wasn't watching him I knew he had a smirk playing sexily on his face.

"I think I will just bathe later." I managed to say, about to leave when I felt two hands on each of my shoulders. I just stared at my towel, hanging on a branch.

His hands moved down my body and untied the obi to my sleeping kimono. I was nervous, not really wanting to be in this situation. Soon my sleeping kimono was on the ground around my feet, the only thing trying to cover my body was my long hair.

He embraced me from behind and moved my hair away from my shoulders. Slowly he kissed my shoulders and neck. I managed to relax for a few moments before I really realized what was going on. "Stop." I said softly.

"That's not what you want though." I heard him reply, continuing to kiss my neck now.

"Yes it is." I answered back, knowing it was a lie though. I remembered my curse and pulled away. I shuffled for my kimono and tied it.

He didn't try anything else so I walked to the door of the onsen. "I didn't say you could leave." I heard his cold voice whisper next to my ear. I stopped and waited for him to say something. "Just come bathe." He said, his voice lighter and no longer by my ear.

"No. I have something I need to do." I said and opened the door. Now he growled and grabbed my arm, turning me around to face him. I just stared right at his chest.

"Look at me." He said roughly. When I didn't I felt his hand come up underneath my chin and raise it. I simply closed my eyes. I could tell he was angry now but I knew finally what I had to do. I would obey him for now and then when he released me and I was allowed to go in my room I would pack and leave. I don't know what Satsuya was talking about when he said it'd be good for me to come here.

Unexpectedly he slapped me across the face. I went to the ground from my loss of balance and looked up at him. His eyes had changed. They have always been distant but now they were cold, and of course angry.

He grabbed me by the throat and lifted me up, off the ground. I was struggling for air as he undid my kimono with his other hand. His eyes looked lust full now and I was worried. "Sesshou-"

"Busata!" I was shivering now, fear full of what he was going to do to me and hope full for air.

Soon he loosened his grip and let me stand on my own. He pressed his body lightly against mine, bending down and touching his lips to mine. I kept my mouth shut and didn't move.

Sesshoumaru was being rough and his tongue was demanding entrance. I reluctantly opened my mouth and regretted it. He had one of his hands on my back and the other was now moving its way towards my breasts. Soon the kiss was broke as he tore off his clothes. I just kept my eyes shut, trying to escape this in my mind.

Before I could find peace of any sort I felt him thrust into me. I screamed. The pain was unbearable. I already felt hot tears coming from my eyes. He didn't stop or slow at all. His lips reclaimed mine during this experience.

I was limp now, the only things holding me up was his arms. After a while I heard a groan escape his mouth, feeling something strange inside of me but I was too drained to really care. Pain was surging through my body and tears were still spilling. Eventually I passed out.

I woke with a start, bolting upright in bed. Bad dream. It was day when the village was destroyed. God. I didn't want to have to think about that again. I snapped out of my thoughts as I felt pain shooting up and down my body. That's when I remembered what Sesshoumaru had done. At the thought of it I shivered.

I almost screamed when I felt something tighten around my waist but controlled it. "Lay down." Sesshoumaru said sternly. I lay down, moving a little away from him. It didn't help, he just pulled me closer. "That is your punishment for disrespecting me."

I stayed silent, staring up at the ceiling. Why did this happen? He seemed to be nicer lately but this, over a small disrespecting issue. "Can I leave now?" I asked quietly.

"You may leave when I say you can." He answered back bitterly. He leaned over and kissed my neck softly. I just ignored him and looked around. This was his room I assumed. It was decorated in blacks, reds, and golds. It seemed sophisticated and dark. His room was also very spacious.

I guess he noticed I was ignoring him and growled lowly. "Leave." He said and turned to also get up. I got up quickly, fixing the sleeping kimono he must have redressed me in, and left to my room.

I wouldn't leave yet. I had to do it later. He probably suspects I want to leave and is keeping a close eye me. Who knows, who really knows? When I got to my room I immediately changed. I would have gone to take a bath but, yeah, with that incident I was not in the mood. I dressed in an all black kimono with a black obi.

Once I was finished I went to the balcony, running to the forest as fast as I could. Once I reached a small lake I collapsed in front of it, looking at my reflection in the water. "What did I do to deserve this? I know it was my fault that my village perished but is this really my punishment? It was accidental. Why did Satsuya send me here? Surely he must have seen this coming. I guess maybe I do deserve this." I talked quietly to myself, then broke down in tears, clutching my face in my hands.

"Hmm. Did I hurt you that badly? Are you that weak?" I heard Sesshoumaru snarl from behind me.

I got up and turned to him, wiping the tears from my eyes. "Sesshoumaru." I said angrily. "Why? You really did seem nice, or at least okay. You punish me like that for simple disrespect and then do that to me. I wonder, do you expect me to respect you now?" I asked, standing my ground and not backing away.

"You will respect me now. Or else I will have to punish you again. Do you want that?" Sesshoumaru asked as he slowly made his way towards me.
