AUTHOR'S NOTES: I DON'T OWN FUSHIGI YUUGI……BLAH,BLAH,BLAH

DANGEROUS FEELINGS

Soi went to Nakago's tent feeling both excitement and curiosity. Excitement because she was about to see him again and curiosity because she wondered what her shogun wanted with her now.

Maybe he needs his chi raised. Not that I'm complaining.

The naughty thought made her smile. But as she entered the tent what she saw gave her the shock of her life, all romantic thoughts disappeared. Instead of seeing Nakago alone, like he so often was, a woman was there. Soi's gaze zeroed in on the woman's slim arm, which was clinging seductively to Nakago. Possessively. She felt a dozen emotions at once. Jealousy and anger reigning over all. Who was this woman? Her face remained expressionless but she knew her eyes said it all, they always did, and she hated it

" Nakago-sama, I came as soon as I was called. "

She wrenched her eyes away from their arms and looked up at them. Her face was cool and calm

" I want you to meet someone. "

His tone was unreadible

" So you're Soi, so nice to meet you! I've heard so much about you, " the witch said, her voice dripping with so much fake sweetness, it was nauseating.

Soi found herself looking into a pair of stony brown eyes. It was hate at first sight. She didn't respond and waited, instead, for the girl to introduce herself.

" Soi, this is Sanumi Seka, " Nakago cut in, perhaps sensing the tension.

Don't worry she's bound to leave sooner or later.

" She's going to be working with us from now on. "

She didn't even flinch, but she suddenly felt drained

This cannot be happening. I'd rather be dead.

She thought this with such intensity that she surprised even herself. She didn't know what it was but whenever she looked at Sanumi she felt fear. She felt dread. With this sentiment she did the only thing she could think of-talk.

" Nakago-sama, I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but what do we need Sanumi-san for? I mean, as far as I'm aware of, there are only 7 star warriors for each maiden and the people besides them have no gifted powers. "

I need to convince him.

" You're quite correct, but Sanumi here has mastered a very rare talent and it could be of service to me, in fact I think you can relate to it. "

By now, Soi was totally baffled. Taking her silence as encouragement, he went on.

" She has the capability to perform the Bouchu Spell. "

Sayonara

Soi's face involuntarily clenched. The room was silent for a long time. She felt as if the quiet was slowly closing in on her and choking her

Do something.

" What do you mean….how…..why do you…need another..you have me………I can….satisfy you. "

Those two words were whispered. She felt her face go crimson.

Damn. Don't blush.

She was falling apart, but all she recognized right now was desperation.

" You have plenty of work Soi, especially now that we're at war with the Suzaku group. The last thing you need is to trouble yourself with my needs. "

" But it's no trouble at all…"

"Enough. No more arguments, " he said firmly, giving her a warning look.

" Hai. "

" Don't worry Soi-chan, I won't be a bother at all, " Sanumi finally said. She had been observing the two of them quietly.

A smile had formed on the woman's face.

I'll bet

Soi once again glanced at their interlocked arms. She didn't know what happened next, but she was suddenly filled with sarcasm she didn't know she had.

" Tell me Sanumi-san, how did you get Nakago-sama to notice you? Did you ask him immediately or did you just approach him and open up your legs? "

The girl's smile wavered and her eyes glinted. Soi was filled with sick happiness. But she didn't glance at Nakago for she knew he would be looking at her disapprovingly

" Whatever I did, forgive me for saying, is none of your business, but rest assured that we both thoroughly enjoyed it. "

She was cold. Her body was filled with nothing but air. She knew that what the bitch said was probably true. In fact she was positive that it was true.

" That is enough, " Nakago interjected, raising his voice a little.

" Gomen-nasai, Nakago-sama. "

Her bravado drained out of her and it was replaced by a new sense of panic. But her features remained perfect. Void of emotion.

He's not going to change his mind.

" Gomen-nasai, Sanumi-san, I meant no offense. "

She said this a lot less sincerely.

" None taken, " the witch replied, smirking.

" To extend my welcome, I will personally accompany you to your tent, speaking of which, may I ask where it is, Nakago-sama? "

She copied Sanumi's sickening voice and smile. Making sure the girl knew she was mocking her.

" No need for that, Soi, " Nakago replied.

Soi dreaded what was coming next.

Don't say it…please don't say it…just don't say it.

" She'll be staying with me tonight. "

He just stood there as if everything was all right, as if he didn't just say he was going to have sex with this whore, as if he didn't hear Soi's heart break.

Don't do this Nakago. I'm the one you need. I'm the one who serves you. I'm the one who loves you.

Then everything was a blur. She stared at Nakago for a long time. She looked into those great blue eyes. The eyes she'd seen several times spark with anger, anger only she could soothe. The eyes she saw heavy with hunger and desire every time they made love. The very first eyes she allowed herself to drown in. She silently pleaded with him, urging him to stop this nonsense, but all she got in return was a cold stare.

" Alright then…. ," she said, quickly hiding her emotions, clinging to what was left of her dignity

I will not show him how weak I am. I will not show him how much this has affected me. And I definitely won't give this woman the satisfaction of seeing me cry.

" Have a great time. "

And with that she turned and left the tent. Not looking back. Her heart shattered on the floor. Her mind blank. Her emotions raging.
