I no own, you no sue, or else no more fics!
Note: black shadow fox asked a question, no this story is mainly about Sesshomaru, Inuyasha might be mentioned but he and Kagome aren't going to be a big part of the story.
A Demon Lord's Love (chapter eight)
Last Time:
"How can I tell you, when I don't even know myself?" she asked softly. He stepped up to her, placing his hands on her shoulders. He jerked though, when she started to glow. She stopped as quickly as she started, collapsing in exhaustion. He had only enough time to catch her before her head hit the floor. He picked her up, bridal style and laid her on her bed. ____________________________________________________________________
Sen woke up, feeling trapped in darkness. She sat up imediantly, looking around her room in fear. No one was there, she didn't know whether to be relieved or afraid. She stood up and grabbed a white outfit, it was bordered with gold threads with sakura petals embroidered in gold along the edges. She grabbed a towel and hurried through the halls, to the baths. She wasn't expecting anyone to be there, it being around dawn. She stripped and slipped into the hot waters, her body relaxing. She rarely let herself relax in hot springs, but this was one time she would. She slipped underwater, coming back up after getting her hair wet. She lathered some of her soap in her hair, feeling it scrub at her head. When she rinsed her hair free, it felt clean of any thing that had caught in it.
After her hair, she went through the trouble of washing her tail. Unlike her hair, the fur of her tail was very thick, thus making it hard to clean. However, the thick fur helped keep it clean, so she didn't have to wash it every day. She sighed, knowing her tail was going to very puffy when it dried. She scrubbed her body, feeling cleaner as the scent of Naazaa came off her. She made extra care to rinse out her tail, since the soap could sometimes cling to her fur. She climbed out of the spring, wrapping the large towel around her. She wasn't like the other youkai females, whom seem to have no modesty. Karrei said that she loved that about Sen, that she seemed too innocent to be a youkai.
Sen giggled lightly, remembering her friend. "She hasn't seen me fight though, I'm merciless in battle." she said out loud. "If she sees me fight, then we'll see who she calls innocent."
"And who says that you're innocent?" Sen whirled around to see a few female youkai. A cat youkai, a wolf, and a kitsune. "I'm Neko, Lady of the Southern Lands." the cat chirped. She had golden eyes with green speckles. Her hair was gray, coming to her knees but pulled back in a bun, with black stripes, matching the graceful cat tail behind her. She had black stripes on her arms, neck, and shoulders. A star gently decorated her forehead, symbolizing her mate.
"I'm Okami, Lady of the Eastern Lands." the wolf gave her a smile. She had black hair that fell to her back, matching the black tail waving behind her. She had a purple line across each cheek, with a sun symbol on her forehead.
"Katrin, but you can call me Kat. I'm Lady of the Northern Lands, pleased to meet you." the kitsune said, smiling widely. She had dark red hair that fell to her shoulders, with braids in her loose hair. Dark blue eyes peeked out from her bangs, showing quite clearly. Her forehead was decorated with a red arrowhead. Three green stripes were on her cheeks, and there were some stripes on her neck, shoulders, and legs as well.
"I'm Sen, of the small village of Me Na Ruu." Sen bowed slightly to them, holding her towel in place. The three ladies grinned, and started laughing.
"Sen? Right?" Kat asked. Sen nodded, looking at them curiously.
"Sesshomaru has been talking about you, quite, er, fondly. If you catch my drift." Neko winked at her. Sen froze, her cheeks warming up in a blush.
"I heard that you yelled at Leiko," Okami said, wrapping her arm around the younger youkai's shoulders.
"I..I..yes," she said softly, looking at the ground.
"After she tried to mate with Sesshomaru." Okami finished, grinning. Sen looked up sharply.
"No! She tried to steal my mother's ring and charm necklace, after thinking that they were Sesshomaru-sama's!"
"What?" the three chorused.
"Those two are the only things I have of my mother's," Sen said sadly. "I couldn't let her take them."
"We understand!" Neko said, hugging her new friend closely. "Anyway, Leiko's a bitch...er, wait a moment, no she isn't." they laughed quietly.
"No, I believe, I am," Sen said softly.
"No! Sen, if anyone calls you a bitch then I'll tear them to shreds!" Kat said fiercely. She flexed her claws in proof. Sen smiled at her new friends. They talked for awhile, sitting on the edge of the spring. They dressed, folding the wet towels in a corner for some servants to take.
"What are you wearing?" Neko asked, looking at her servant outfit. "It's pretty, but why aren't you wearing a kimono?"
"I don't like them," Sen admitted. "I prefer to wear pants instead of a dress." Sen smiled, dragging her new friends to her room. "My friend gave this to me, before I left, its pretty, but kinda plain don'tcha think?" she pulled out her kimono. It was plain white, but was of the softest silk.
"Your friend made this?" Kat asked. Sen nodded.
"You can tell it has love interwoven in it," Okami said, touching it gently. Sen pulled out her sewing kits and her beads. Neko imediantly pounced on the beads, studying them furiously.
"Who gave you these?" she asked, holding them up.
"I don't know, someone's been giving them to me, they also gave me a necklace, but I returned it." Sen said, shaking her head.
"Wow," Neko grinned at her slyly. "Sesshomaru must really like you, giving you this beads that his mother had." Sen shot up, staring at her in horror.
"What?" she squeaked. The three giggled at her reaction.
"These are Sesshomaru's!" Okami said. "I should know, he told me that he would give these beads only to someone he cared greatly for....Someone he would consider as his mate." she winked at the frozen Sen.
"I have to give these back!" she shrieked, moving to grab the pouch. Neko frowned.
"You know, if you keep returning his gifts, he won't want to court you. Apparently he loves you, if he keeps giving you these gifts of his mother's."
"I don't deserve these though," Sen said, flopping onto her bed, on her stomach. "They're worth more than my life." she added glumly.
"No they aren't!" they chorused.
"I'm a servant!" Sen blurted out, growing angry. "Servants aren't supposed to fall in love with their masters!" she covered her mouth, realising what she had said. Her friends looked at each other.
"You've got it bad," Neko said softly, rubbing Sen's back.
"Please don't tell him," Sen whimpered.
"We don't have to," Kat said, looking at the door.
"He heard it all." Okami finished. Sen shot up, looking at the door. Sesshomaru was standing in the doorway, staring at Sen in surprise. She imediantly shot to the open window, leaping outside and into the gardens below.
"Poor Sen," Neko said, looking out the window.
"You better talk to her," Okami said wisely. He didn't need to be told twice, he imediantly left to go to the gardens. __________________________________________________________________
Sen rushed through the gardens, not pausing until she had reached the small pond that lay hidden in the center. Tall willows covered the pond, and a light sheen of mist was near the ground because of the early day. She collapsed onto the ground, her shoulders shaking as she replayed the shocked look in his eyes. She knew she shouldn't have come, this place wasn't for a servant like her.
"Baka, baka, baka!" she hit the ground furiously, tears falling down her cheeks. "Onegai, Kami, just end my worthless tamishi." she murmured, sitting back on her legs, her hands still flat on the ground.
"Don't sss-ay that, my dear Sss-en." Sen looked up, spotting Naazaa slithering into the clearing.
"Achi ike yo, hiretsukan!" she shouted, clenching her fist. He hissed angrily at her, his fangs lengthening.
"Abazureona!" he shrieked.
"Jamakusai!"
"Ahondara! I'm the Prince of my kind, you sss-hould be begging me to take you a-sss my mate!" he swung his tail out, spikes appearing down his back. Sen dodged his attack, landing on a branch gracefully.
"No you're the fool! Messing with me guarentees your death!" she growled, her eyes glowing scarlet. Her gem lit up, flashing red just before she launched herself at him. She was tackled right before she sunk her claws into the dense youkai, though. She hit the ground, Sesshomaru pinning her to the ground.
"Both of you are fools!" he roared, his eyes glowing scarlet, remarkably he managed to stay in his humaniod form though. "There are to be no fighting or bloodshed, or both of you will be killed." he said, regaining his control. He helped Sen up, keeping a tight grip on her bicep, despite her growls. "Leave us, snake. I need to speak with her." he growled, meaning he meant business.
"Very well, I'll sss-ee you later, Sss-en. My love." he slithered away, glaring at the Taiyoukai whom released her arm.
"We need to talk, Sen." he started. She looked away, clenching her fists.
"I don't want to talk," she turned, ready to leave, when she was pushed against a tree. His body was trembling, his eyes scarlet. He was obviously trying to control himself.
"The way you said that, can be taken into two possibilities." he purred, licking her cheek. She growled fiercely, making him smirk. Inuyoukai females are far more agressive when it came to mating than the males. The males always had to prove themselves to the females, even if the two felt attraction to each other. Sen smirked, her eyes scarlet with her temper. She brought her knee up, slamming into his stomach. As he was winded, she pranced away, her delicate form sliding through the trees and bushes gracefully. He watched her prance around, twisting her body around seductively.
"If you can catch me," she purred, her bangs falling over her eyes so she peeked out, "then we can talk." She gave a small wink then was running away. ______________________________________________________________________
