A Demon Lord's Love (chapter four)
Last Time:
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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
Sen woke up, hearing hushed whispers. She opened her eyes and sat up, rubbing her eyes. "What's going on?" she asked groggily. The girls giggled and surrounded her, holding out five glass beads of different colors. Sen stared at the beads for a moment, then looked at them. "So? You found some beads." she was just about to get up when the girls turned the beads. Carved in the beads was her name.
"They belong to you Sen!" one chirped. The girls dropped the beads in her lap, then started giggling to themselves.
"Someone obviously fancies you Sen!" Karrei said, picking up one bead. "These beads are finely made, I've never seen them before in the castle."
*That means I can't return them, like I did with the necklace.* Sen thought. She picked the beads up and dropped them in a pouch, slipping it under her futon. She stood up and grabbed her clothes, when another servant ran in. She was holding a small handful of beads.
"Sen! I found some more!" she said happily. Sen stared at the beads for a moment, confused. Karrei pulled Sen's pouch out and opened it, letting the girl drop the multi-colored beads into the pouch with the others. She dropped the pouch in Sen's arms with her clothes.
"Better keep this with ya!" she winked. Sen shrugged, dropping her things onto her futon. They got dressed quickly, Sen placing the pouch in one of her pockets. They all headed off to their stations, getting ready for another day of work. All through the day, servants came running to Sen, because they had found some beads. Sen was happy when they went to bed that night, she was completely exhausted. Not to mention she was also worried about the meeting. They would be leaving in two days, to go to the meeting.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------
Sen sighed as she was about to go take a break. She stood up and started walking down to the kitchen, to grab something to eat. She was stopped by Jaken, Sesshomaru's right hand servant.
"You there!" he smacked her head with his staff, causing her to grab it in pain. "Lord Sesshomaru-sama wishes to speak to you! NOW!" he smacked her again when she didn't react.
"Alright! Stop hitting me!" she growled. He nodded and led her to Sesshomaru's study. She slipped inside, standing by the doorway. He was facing away from her, looking out of the window. She could see that it overlooked the garden, smiling softly, she saw Rin was picking some flowers. She quickly dropped the smile when he turned to her. He motioned for her to sit down, which she hurriedly did, glancing at Jaken as she did so. She kept her hands folded infront of her, her back straight.
"You are probably wondering why I asked for you to come." he said slowly. She gave a small nod, not looking at his face. She heard him sit down and move some papers. "I heard that someone's been giving you gifts." she hesitantly nodded, gripping her hands together. "May I see?" he held out his hand, waiting. She nodded and pulled the pouch out, dropping it in his hand. She watched as he opened it and looked inside. Jaken stretched trying to see inside the pouch. "Tell me, do you have any idea who gave these to you?"
Sen's heart dropped to her stomach. She had thought the beads were from him, with a very high doubt that they did, since he was the only one she had ever given anything to. She bit her bottom lip, trying to think of anyone else who would give her the beads.
"No sir," she said softly. "I don't know who could have given me these beads." she added hesitantly. He closed the pouch, giving it back to her.
"Are you certain?" he asked quietly. She dared to look into his eyes, hearing something in his voice. His eyes were burning with something, though she couldn't identify what. Slowly, she shook her head. "Did you think it was someone before?" he asked. Her mouth went dry and she hurriedly dropped her eyes to the floor.
*So, she did think it was someone.* he thought to himself, smirking inwardly. "Who did you think it was?" he asked.
"No one, milord." she said, wishing she could disappear. He stood up, walking over to her. She winced, feeling his cold stare on her.
"Tell me," he ordered. She shivered, but didn't say anything. Until she felt something cuff her head. She hit the floor, holding her head.
"Do as you're told!" Jaken shrieked, waving his staff.
"That's enough Jaken." Sesshomaru growled. Sen shivered, feeling some blood on her fingers from her head. She slowly sat up, keeping her head bowed.
"Forgive me, Milord." she whispered, trying to hold back her pained whimpers. Some blood trickled down her forehead, coming from her hair. Her tail curled around her, in a completely submissive move. To her surprise, she realized that he was ignoring her and instead was glaring at Jaken. Her heart clenched, and she realized that she needed Karrei's help. Her wound was bleeding qute heavily, though her hair was covering it and the blood. Slowly, she crawled back towards the door. Sesshomaru and Jaken didn't notice her leaving, they only did notice when she had run down the hall.
Sen ran down the hall as fast as she could. She finally reached the servants' quarter, her vision blurry. She collapsed onto her futon, whimpering in pain. Karrei came in as fast as she could, pulling Sen into her lap. The kitsune cleaned her head, pouring some plant medicine and painkiller on the wound. Sen gripped her leg, whimpering, and buried her face into her thigh. Her friend growled in anger at whoever did this to her, vowing revenge in her mind. Sen slowly drifted to sleep because of a sedative Karrei had put in the medicine. The kitsune gently began stitching the two inch gash, whimpering for her friend.
"I swear I'll get Jaken for this," Karrei growled, placing a large bandage on her friend's head. She laid the younger demoness on her futon, placing a light blanket on her. Then Karrei left to exact her revenge. She hurried up to Sesshomaru's study, peering inside. Jaken was still in there, although he was whimpering because of the pain Sesshomaru had inflicted on him. Karrei stormed in, ignoring Sesshomaru's glare and grabbed Jaken's throat. "You are going to pay for injuring Sen like that!" she growled, choking the toad.
"Master Sesshomaru!" he cried pitifully. Sesshomaru simply watched, his golden eyes glaring at Jaken. "Please! H..help!?" he choked. When Jaken was almost dead, Sesshomaru stopped her, rather reluctantly, and threw Jaken out a window. The toad shrieked as he fell and landed in a large pile of fertilizer.
"How is she?" he asked Karrei.
"Sleeping, I had to stitch her wound." Karrei's ears flattened slightly, thinking about her injured friend. Sesshomaru nodded slightly, walking out of the door. Karrei shot out of the room, to see him gone. She growled faintly and went to the gardens, she had to pull some more weeds.
Sesshomaru slipped easily into the servants' quarters. He made his way carefully to her side, dodging sleeping futons. He crouched beside her, seeing the large bandage around her head. He lightly touched her hair, causing her to curl up with a whimper. Tears leaked out of her eyes, hardening before they hit the futon. He gathered the gems up, slipping them into his pocket. He gently lifted her up and into his lap. She buried her face into his neck, giving a soft sigh. His tail wrapped around her, keeping her warm in its depth.
To his surprise, her tail curled around his waist, locking tightly around him. She released a low purr, rubbing her head against his neck sensually. He gave a low growl, nuzzling her neck and shoulder. She purred louder, resting her head right on his collarbone. She slowly dragged her tongue up his neck to his ear, then licked his cheek to his temple. She had to stretch slightly to reach but she accomplished her goal. Sighing softly, she curled into his lap, laying her head on his chest. He responded eagerly, nuzzling her forehead and hair, deeply inhaling her scent. She leaned into his face, allowing him to repeat what she had done. His tongue dragged from her shoulder to her ear, then from her cheek to her temple. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, nuzzling her as she slipped back into her sleep. He was content to hold her, until the other servants made their way to the room. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
Sen blinked open her eyes, wincing from the sunlight streaming in and her aching head. She stared up at the ceiling for awhile, thinking about the dream she had. She rarely dreamed, so it stood out in her mind. A male demon, she couldn't tell who although he seemed familar, had comforted her. She remembered licking him gratefully, which he had responded to quite nicely. She let a small smile curve her lips up, before she buried her nose in her bedding again. It seemed to be so real. She sniffed, then shot up in surprise. A male scent was all over her and her bedding, which meant.....
"Oh crap it was real!" she squeaked, covering her mouth.
"OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH SSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNN!!!" Karrei sang loudly. She pounced on the girl, grinning evilly. The other girls were also grinning, and settling themselves around her.
"Yes?" she squeaked, not liking their looks.
"I never thought you would get down with one of the males!" Karrei chirped, her eyes twinkling. "So who was it?"
"KARREI!" Sen shrieked, she dove out of bed and got dressed in a flash, trying to avoid her friend.
"Come on! Tell me! I'm your best friend!" Karrei whined. "Besides! I'll tell you about my night with Daries!"
"Kami no!" Sen shot out of the room, being followed by Karrei.
"Tell me!" Karrei tackled her, grinning.
"NO!"
"What's going on here?" the two girls looked up, gulping. Sesshomaru was standing right infront of them, like Sen had almost fallen on him when Karrei tackled her.
"We're sorry Milord!" the chorused, stumbling up to their feet and bowing rapidly. He eyed them, a strange look on his face. His gaze went to Sen, before he let out a small smirk.
"Go pack my things for the meeting." he ordered her. She gave a quick nod and shot off, hurrying to get away from Karrei. "What were you two talking about?" he asked Karrei.
"She had the scent of a male on her when she woke up, I was asking her who it was." Karrei said hesitantly. He gave a small nod and dismissed her. He turned and started towards his chambers, letting a small smirk come onto his face.
