A Demon Lord's Love (chapter three)
Last Time:
Sen sighed, looking down to see Karrei's tail waving slightly, Karrei was asleep. Sen giggled softly, moving over to shake her friend's shoulder. She didn't realize that someone had watched her. A pair of gold eyes watched the two girls, very interested in one of them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------
Sen finished sewing the sleeve onto a guest kimono, biting the thread to cut it. Several other demonesses were sewing in the room with her, talking softly. Apparently, there was a meeting for the lords and ladies to find mates. Every village had to send someone to represent them. A girl was talking excitedly about how her village had chosen her to go. Sen felt a feeling of forebonding, knowing her father was going to send her a letter. Sure enough, a young messanger boy tore into the room and handed a letter to her, blushing nervously. She sighed and opened the letter, scanning the note. Yup, she had been chosen.
"Wow! Sen's going too! This is excellent! Come on you two!" several girls leaped up and hauled Sen and Kitrina, the other demoness, towards a closet. Inside were several months of outfits, hanging neatly up. They were the design of the servant clothes, except they were made of silk and had a few beads sown into them.
"Apparently, Lord Sesshomaru's great-great-great-grandfather had made the servants wear these to special occasions. You two can wear these on the trip! It'll take about two weeks, so you better start packing!" the girls began fussing over which colors mathed with them. After about a couple of weeks of clothing was packed, they returned to their work. They finished early, since they would be celebrating tomorrow because of Sesshomaru's day of birth. Everyone went to bed early, needing the rest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------
All of the servants had given their lord presents, and had made the best food to celebrate. All except Sen. She hadn't found a way to give her gift to him, without letting the other servants see it. Karrei sighed through her nose, half-glaring at her friend.
"Go put it on his bed for crying out loud!" she said, irritated. Sen sighed, looking down at her gift sadly.
"I shouldn't have made it." Sen said softly, staring at it.
"That's it! Sen, go put it on his bed! He most likely won't be there!" Karrei fumed. Sen sighed but nodded, picking the bundle up.
"Wish me luck." she was gone before Karrei could say anything. Sen avoided the other servants easily, making her way up to her lord's room. She hesitated infront of it, before slipping inside silently. His room was semi- dark, but when she entered, candles burst into flame. She quickly placed the gift on his bed, turning to leave. She paused though, looking around his room. in awe and shock. Paintings hung from the walls, with fancy signatures of the women who made them. Sen felt overwhelmed, her eyes filling with tears.
"These are far better than my gift will ever be." she whispered, staring at them. "He's probably going to throw it away," she hugged herself as she kept the tears from coming out. She didn't notice that Sesshomaru was watching her.
He was surprised to see her placing something on his bed, so he kept quiet, when he heard her whispers, he snapped out of his shock to watch her intently. She apparently lost the battle to control her tears, one slid down her cheek to fall to the ground. He was surprised, to see the tear harden and hit the ground with a small thud.
She covered her face, running out of the room, sobbing silently. He crept to his bed, seeing the bundle she had put there, and the gem on the floor. He picked the gem up, staring at it in awe. It was blue, with light blue swirls inside it. He placed it on his desk, sitting down and pulling the bundle onto his lap. He opened it gently, pulling the weaving out. He stared at it in surprise, it was excellent weaving, and the fact that she had made it for him. He smiled faintly, running his claw over the form of Rin, being careful not to rip it. His attention caught on the image's hair. He lifted it up, sniffing it faintly. He imediantly reconized that it was his hair, and that she had used her own hair to sign her name. She smelled of flowers, and the rain.
He looked around his room, his gaze landing on a necklace of his mother's. It had light blue beads with a silver dog head charm. He felt torn, knowing that he should give something personal to her, since she had. Frowning to himself, he got up and took the necklace out. It was beautifully made, and smooth. He nodded to himself and slipped it into a small box, setting out to find the girl, Sen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------
Sen found herself in the gardens, sitting on the rim of a fountain. She sniffed softly, bringing her legs to her chest. She sighed, deciding to sing to free herself.
"Everybody's got something they had to leave behind, One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time, There's no use looking back or wondering, How it could be now or might have been, Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you know.
"I've never had a dream come true, Till the day that I found you, Even though I pretend that I've moved on, You'll always be my baby, I never found the words to say, You're the one I think about each day, And I know no matter where life takes me to, A part of me will always be with you." she stood up and began walking around the garden.
"Somewhere in my memory, I've lost all sense of time, And so my road can never be cos yesterday is all that fills my mind, There's no use looking back or wondering, How it could be now or might have been, Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go.
"I've never had a dream come true, Till the day that I found you, Even though I pretend that I've moved on, You'll always be my baby, I never found the words to say, You're the one I think about each day, And I know no matter where life takes me to, A part of me will always be.
"You'll always be the dream that fills my head, Yes you will, say you will, you know you will, Oh baby, you'll always be the one I know I'll never forget, There's no use looking back or wondering, Because love is a strange and funny thing, No matter how I try and try I just can't say goodbye, No no no no.
"I've never had a dream come true, Till the day that I found you, Even though I pretend that I've moved on, You'll always be my baby, I never found the words to say (words to say), You're the one I think about each day, And I know no matter where life takes me to, A part of me will always be, A part of me will always be with you." she looked up into the night sky.
Sesshomaru watched her from a shadowed spot in the garden. He held the small box tightly, watching her as though she would disappear. She sat back down on the fountain, bringing one leg to her chest. She trailed her fingers in the water, the cool liquid seemed to calm her down slightly. He carefully placed the box on the fountain, then fled to a window above the garden. He watched to see how she would react to the gift.
Sen rubbed her arms slightly, feeling a breeze hit her. She rose to her feet, intending to go back to the servants' quarters. She stopped, spotting something on the fountain. She slipped quietly over to it, lifting the box up to see her name engraved in the wood. Hesitantly, she opened it to see the necklace. She gasped and carefully took it out, seeing it sparkle. She studied it carefully, noting the fine craftsmanship into the charm. She sighed sadly and placed it back into the box, carrying it inside. Sesshomaru watched as she carried it to his room, instead of her quarters.
Sen peeked into her lord's room, noticing that the necklace in her hold was her deceased lady's, afterall. She slipped inside and gently placed the necklace back in the case. She hesitated for a moment, then grabbed some paper and ink. She jotted down a quick note and placed it under the necklace. Staring at the necklace for a moment, she quickly left, not wanting to be caught in her lord's room so late. She was in so much of a hurry, that she didn't notice Sesshomaru in the shadows.
Sesshomaru entered his room quickly, seeing that she had placed the necklace back in its case, but with something else. He picked the note up, unfolding it carefully. Her writing was easy to read, though he could tell she had been taught differently.
" Dear Whoever, Forgive me for giving the necklace back. It was milord~ mother~ necklace and shouldn`t have been given to me. To be completely honest, that necklace is probably worth more than all my belongings put together, including my own life. I am a mere servant, unworthy of such a gift. I ask that you forgive me, whoever you are, and not to try and give me something as valuable like that again. Please forgive me. A humble servant, Sen. "
Sesshomaru couldn't say anything after reading the letter. He could, of course, order her to take the necklace, but then she would be uncomfortable, and would know that he had given it to her as a gift. Sighing softly, he turned and smirked, spotting something that would work. He had several jars filled with glass beads, all different colors. He grabbed a bead out of a jar and studied it, smirking to himself. He got Jaken, whom for some odd reason was up, and ordered him to take the beads to someone he knew. He quickly wrote a letter to this aquaintence, and turned in for bed. Jaken was rushing about, carrying the jars of beads to a different level of the castle.
