Chapter 9
Business for the youthful girl was slowing beginning to grow again. The rumor about her relationship with that awful demon spread around the village, and the villagers began to trust her again. Although this is what they heard, they don't know that this girl would sneak off at night, when her shop closed, and live with that demon until the sun rose. No one, except her apprentice, knew about this dark secret. Nevertheless, her secret was about to reveled.
Suzuki was doing her regular chores. Getting the herbs, making the medicine, and giving it to those who needed it. When she one day unexpectedly heard a riot. The girl went outside to see what all the commotion was all about.
"It's been reveled that that awful demon is still around here. Where? We do not know yet. But, tomorrow, first thing in then morning, we will find out, and destroy him and anyone who stands in our way." When the individual finished, each villager cheered. All, but one.
'I have to warn him. I have to tell him tonight, or else he'll be killed,' Suzuki thought. Amarante arrived at the shop, and saw the crowd.
"Suzuki-sama, what's going on," she asked.
"The villagers some how found out about Sesshoumaru still being here."
This news made the young apprentice drop her basket filled with herbs. "You're gonna do some to save him, right?"
"Yes I am. I can't let anything bad happen to him because of me."

With her shop closed, Suzuki ran to the cave, where she will meet Sesshoumaru. At the entrance, she saw that he was asleep. The teenager quietly walked up to him, and sat down next to him, watching him sleep.
'Just look at him, he looks so peaceful. I can't let him die. If anything happens to him, I'll never forgive myself.' Unknown to her, the desperate girl started to cry. A tear landed on Sesshoumaru's face, waking him up. With his eyes opened, he saw that Suzuki was crying.
"Suzuki, what's wrong," he asked.
Suzuki was startled that Sesshoumaru was awake.
"Oh Sesshoumaru, the villagers found out that you're still here. How? I don't know."
"Shhh. What did they say?"
"They said that they know that you're here, and that they'll going to kill you and anyone who stands in their way." The depressed girl flung her arms around his neck, and sobbed into his chest. Sesshoumaru pushed the girl away, just enough so that he could see her face. He leaned down, and began to kiss her tear stained face.
'Do you have any idea how painful it is to see you like this.' His lips finally found their way to hers. He kissed her. Gently at first, but then more passionate. He tongue licked at her bottom lip, seeking entrance. The shy girl slowly opened, and their tongues danced together. She gathered enough courage to go and explore inside his mouth. Her tongue licked his fangs, which made him moan. When they broke for air, he began to trail kisses down her jaw line, neck, and eventually at the crook of her neck.
'Tonight, I'll become your mate. Tonight, I'll surrender my body to you.'

How is it? I know that some of you were expecting a lemon, but there's no way I can write one. It's just to embarrassing for me. Tell me what ya think. The next chapter will be the last.
