A Demon Lord's Love (chapter six)
Last Time:
He was completely relaxed in her lap, and his breathing was deep. He had fallen asleep. She gave a small smile, honored to see him when he was peaceful. She carefully got up, placing a pillow under his head. She pulled the bag off his bed, setting it on the floor. She took one more look at him, then left to go finish packing her things. _____________________________________________________________________
Sen watched as Karrei shot from across the room to the other, throwing clothes all over the place as she threw some away. Sen was sitting on her futon, cross-legged, trying not to laugh. "Where is it!" Karrei tore through her things like her life depended upon it. "Ah ha!" Karrei pulled out a white kimono.
"What's that for?" Sen asked, as Karrei brought it to her.
"It's my gift for you, when you find a mate." Karrei chirped, holding it out. Sen fingered the silk, tears forming in her eyes.
"Thanks Karrei," she hugged the kitsune tightly, burying her face in her friend's shoulder.
"You're welcome. You can add all sorts of beads, like the ones we keep finding." Karrei said, going through Sen's pouch. "There are gold, silver, all sorts!" Karrei said, smiling at her friend.
"You are too good for me," Sen said sadly, "but I don't think I'll be finding a mate. My heart belongs to one, but he'll never love me."
"What are you talking about, everyone loves you." Karrei said, confused.
"Everyone but the one I want to love me." Sen said, folding the kimono up. She pulled out a small bag, which contained her thread, needles, beads, yarn, and very personal things. She put the bag into her larger one, with all her clothes.
"If you do find someone there, are you going to give them something?" Karrei asked. Sen sighed.
"I highly doubt I will, but if I do, I'll give them this." she pulled out a ring. It was just a silver band, but had intricate carvings in it. "There's protection spells on it, it used to be my mother's. Along with this," she pulled out a charm. It was a simple pendent, shaped like a tear, of gold with a blue stone set into it.
"They're beautiful." Karrei said, awed. Sen smiled, hugging the two items close. "They're the only things I have left of her." she said softly. She placed the two back in, packing the white kimono in her bag as well. Karrei packed some dresses for Sen, she knew that Sen wouldn't want to wear the servant wear all the time. The two girls dressed into their sleep wear, a blue shirt that was tied around their neck and waist, with red pants. They climbed into bed, said their good nights, and fell asleep quickly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
Sen gave Karrei a tight hug, before climbing into the saddle of a horse. She would be riding to the meeting house. Karrei gave her one final smile, waving as her friend rode off. Sen had her pack on her back, and her form was covered in a water proof cloak. The sky was filled with clouds, which threatened to pour their load down any second. It would take her about two hours to get to the meeting house, on horseback. She could only pray that it didn't start raining before she got there.
She rode for about an hour before slowing the horse to a walk, so he could rest. She hadn't made him run for the hour but switched between trotting and cantering. She pulled her cloak down, pulling her braid over her shoulder. She looked behind her, to see a carriage coming up. She gave a nod to the driver, whom nodded back, as she steered her horse to the edge so the carriage could pass. As the carriage was about even with her, the door opened slightly, allowing her to see the occupant. It was Sesshomaru.
"Need a lift?" he asked. She gave a small smile but shook her head.
"Karrei loaned me her horse," she said, nodding to the black stallion. "I guess I'll see you at the meeting house," she said cheerfully, before lightly kicking the stallion. It sped up and they moved past the carriage, unaware of the surprised and curious gold eyes watching them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------
Sen pulled out the invitation, handing it to the doorman. He studied it carefully, then checked a piece of paper that had every village representative and lord/lady. He checked her village off, motioning for her to go in. She pulled Karrei's horse towards the stables, where a young servant boy took him from her. She walked up to the meeting house, which seemed to be a castle with bedrooms and a large ball room. She was led to her bedroom, where she deposited her pack, and changed. She had worn simple pants and a shirt on her way, now she changed into one of the servant clothes. It was dark blue with red threading. She fixed her braid, glanced at the mirror, and stepped out of her room. She walked into the ballroom, where the other guests were waiting.
She spotted several people in servant wear, but they weren't from Sesshomaru's home. She looked around, spotting Sesshomaru looking rather bored. There was a demoness hanging on his arm. Sen's heart clenched, seeing how the demoness had large curves and an expensive kimono. She had dark red hair tied back in a bun with a gold hair piece. Glowing green eyes peeked out from curled bangs, fluttering. Sesshomaru tried to pry his arm from her grasp, to no avail. He looked up in time to see Sen looking at him, then turn away.
*What was I thinking? He's probably going to choose that beautiful kitsune, why would he choose me?* she thought, turning away from him. She pulled her mother's ring out, rubbing it affectionately. She walked out of the ballroom, going into the gardens the castle had. She sat cross-legged on a small rise, able to see the entire garden there. She sat there, looking at her mother's ring. She turned it slowly, the designs flashing gold in the sun. She looked up, seeing a shadow had fallen over her. She quickly hid the ring, not wanting anyone to see it. The snake demon above her smiled, settling himself by her side.
"Hello, my name'sss Naazaa." he introduced. She gave a fake smile at him.
"Sen," she replied, placing her ring in her pocket unseen.
"Sss-en. What a beautiful name," he complimented. She shrugged. "Hone-sss- tly! It i-sss a beautiful name." he insisted.
"Forgive me, but what do you want?" she asked, tiredly.
"To find a mate, that'sss why everyone i-sss here." he said simply.
"I meant, why are you talking to me? Everyone is in the ballroom." she rephrased.
"I sss-aw you sss-itting out here, all by your-sss-elf. I de-sss-iceded to join you, after all you are a beautiful sss-pe-sss-imen, for a mate." he said. Sen let out a laugh.
"I know about your kind, Naazaa. You eat your mate, which is why you're here. You're here to find another mate."
"True, but I'm different than the re-sss-t of my kind. I wi-sss-h to have only one mate. You," he hissed, reaching to touch her neck. She growled, making him stop in surprise. Her eyes glowed scarlet for a moment, warning him.
"Touch me snake, and die. I don't care if I'm thrown out, I will kill you." she hissed. She stood up and walked into the castle, leaving a very angry snake.
"How dare sss-he! I am the mo-sss-t powerful of my kind! And yet sss-he refu-sss-ed me? I mu-sss-t take her a-sss my own!" he hissed.
Sen looked into the ballroom, then walked down to her room. She walked in and closed the door, then saw her silent visiter. She froze, staring at him in surprise. He stood up from his perch on her bed. His long silver hair glinting from the sun through her opened curtains. "Sen," he said softly, walking towards her. He raised one hand to cup her cheek, when someone knocked.
"Sss-en! I need to sss-peak with you!" Naazaa said, pounding on the door. Sesshomaru glared at the door, then turned his gaze to Sen as she opened the door slightly.
"What do you need Naazaa? I told you to leave me alone."
"I want you to be my mate!" Naazaa said, placing a hand on her door. He tried to open it so he could step in.
"No! I don't want you as a mate!" Sen growled, trying to close the door. Naazaa hissed angrily, shoving the door open. Sen hit the ground, after being thrown. Sesshomaru had quickly hidden, when she opened the door, and now watched. Naazaa stepped in, grabbing Sen's arm and picking her up. "Let go of me Naazaa!" Sen growled. The snake hissed, baring his venomous fangs.
"You will be my mate!" he hissed, placing her on the bed and laying on top of her. She growled, her eyes glowing scarlet. He laughed, enjoying her struggles. "You cannot tran-sss-form in here, my mate."
"I'm not your mate!" she roared, her eyes glowing completely scarlet. She threw him off, crouching on the floor. He hit the wall, slumping down it surprised. Sesshomaru stepped out, picking the snake up and throwing him outside. He locked the door, turning to the growling Sen. She was obviously taking him as a threat as well.
"Sen," he said, walking over to her slowly. She growled louder, warning him to stay away. He crept closer, then grabbed her shoulders. She growled, and started scratching his arms. He merely pinned her to the bed, ignoring her scratching and struggles. She growled and bit down on his arm, her fangs piercing his skin and drawing blood. He growled loudly at her, pressing her down on the bed.
Now he knew why Naazaa enjoyed her squirming form. Her body was slender, covering in lean muscles. She moved fluidly against him, bucking against his hard toned form. He couldn't help but become aroused by her movements. He held himself back as she started to tire herself out, but she was still biting on his upper arm. One clawed hand was gripping his kimono on his chest, the other was gripping his arm, the same one she was biting.
"Sen! Calm down!" he ordered. Her response was to bite down harder, trying to rip his arm off his body. Her body had stopped bucking, and was now snugly pressed in between the bed and his body. Growling, he released her other shoulder, digging his hand into her hair. He tried to pull her head back, and release his arm, but she wasn't buying it. She bit down harder, causing some blood to trickle down her cheek.
He hissed in pain, before leaning his head down to hers and nuzzling her ear affectionately. Her eyes widened, but remained scarlet. She slowly released his arm, not pressing down anymore, but kept her fangs buried in him. He continued to nuzzle her, and even licked her ear. His arm went underneath her, pressing her close to his chest as he sat up. He lifted her into his lap, still nuzzling her. After awhile, she released his arm completely. Instead, she was blinking at him, confused. Her scarlet eyes stared up at him, not understanding.
He merely licked his blood off her cheeks and lips. Leaning against him, she stared down at his wound, a neat set of teeth marks with fangs. Whining, she nuzzled his face before letting a tear fall from her eye. It glittered, haardening before it hit her hand. He watched as she placed the tear by his wound. It glowed brightly, turning to liquid and dripping onto his wound. It sealed up, glowing brightly as it healed. He gathered her in his arms, holding her close to his chest. She rested her head under his chin, her eyes slowly closing.
