Chapter 6
'Are you having fun yet?'
His voice rang loud in the room and she tried to get off the futon, clutching the blanket to her naked form. When his face came into view she coward in fear and tears rolled down her face. The man laughed 'yes that's it. Become fearful, I can feel your powers growing with the need for release.' Her eyes widened. Then man came closer and closer to her. He was only a foot away from her, his red eyes gleaming in the dark.
She began to cry, 'No please go away! Don't do this! Not again.' The man just laughed again. He knelt down and roughly grabbed her by the hair and kissed her hard, enough to leave a bruise. She tried to escape but his hold was too strong on her. He ripped the blanket from her hands and left her naked. The man sat on her chest making her gasp for air because of the weight, now she'll have bruises on her chest. Again she tried to get away but he held her down.
He began to descend upon her, his eyes full of lust and the need to hurt her. She knew what was coming and it tore her apart to have it happen. She cried more as he started kissing her breast and neck. He bit and scratched her leaving marks and scratches all over her body and they weren't pretty. Finally he laid atop her, finally thrusting inside her opening, making her cry out in pain and her powers lose control...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"NO!" Reiko quickly sat up, breathing heavily. She winced a little from the beating she got from the villagers, which made tears come to her eyes. How could they ever forgive her? She did the thing she promised she would never do again and now she felt guilty.
Sesshomaru, who had been lying next to her with his arms around her waist, heard her scream and was in a sitting position in seconds. Reiko felt him and melted into his embrace, tears flowing down her cheeks now, small whimpers coming from her throat.
He slowly rocked her back and forth, rubbing his smooth hands against her back. He whispered softly in her ear, "Sh, what's wrong? It's okay, shhhh, I'm here." Reiko held tightly to him, burying her face in his chest. Sesshomaru lightly stroked her hair, trying to comfort her.
The door flew open and in came Keade with a bow and arrow ready. Seeing no one she put the bow down and looked at the two on the futon.
"Sesshomaru-sama, what happened?" Sesshomaru shrugged indicating that he didn't know. Keade came over and placed her hand on top of Reiko's head. "Little one, what is the matter with ye?"
Reiko just shook her head and mumbled, "The pain, make it go away..." She curled up into a ball and trembled. Sesshomaru picked up her fragile form and placed her in his lap.
"Sesshomaru." She whispered. He kissed the top of her head then placed his cheek on her head. "I'm right here Reiko. I won't leave you alone." Reiko sniffed, trying to stop the flow of tears. Keade decided it was time to leave the room. She got up and closed the door behind her.
Reiko's tears finally subsided and she turned her face towards Sesshomaru's. From the dark circles under his eyes he hasn't slept much. She blushed. "How long have I been asleep?"
Sesshomaru stroked her cheek, wiping away access tears. "For about two days. You had a fever, and you were talking in your sleep. The fever broke only yesterday."
Reiko looked at the floor. More tears came to her eyes but she didn't let them fall. Sesshomaru nuzzled her forehead with his. She closed her eyes at the contact and sighed. Sesshomaru couldn't take the silence. "Reiko, what happened to you? Why..." she placed a finger over his lips to silence him. Reiko looked at the floor then to him.
"Sesshomaru," she began, "Whenever my fears get the best of me, I lose control and my sanity just disappears, replaced by insanity that..." She took in a deep breath. "That can one day take full control of my mind. I will become a dangerous, ruthless, insane killer that won't quit until my hunger for death is satisfied. I basically will destroy mankind and then one-day kill myself in the need to still kill." She shifted. "My powers are the most powerful when this happens also, as you saw. But everyday I used to think I should just kill myself to keep people safe and the one's I love safe, even if they disowned me."
Sesshomaru listened carefully to what she was saying. Finally she spoke again, "I was not always like this. Before I could control my powers at their fullest without going insane. But that all changed ten years ago. . ."
*~*~*Flashback*~*~*
Fifteen-year-old Reiko walked happily through her village. Her mother held her younger brother, Morter, and her father walked proudly next to Reiko. Reiko's mother looked down at her daughter and smiled. She had just completed some of her training with her powers and was improving everyday.
Someone shouted. Reiko turned to see a strange man running on all fours running away from woman with a bag clutched between his teeth. "Someone stop that mad man!" The woman shouted. When the man passed Reiko she turned and pointed her index finger at the figure. Concentrating she let go a thread of black energy that wrapped itself around the man, making him drop the bag and fall over.
The man struggled and gnawed at the binding. To say the least the man was very ugly. Long, greasy black hair, a hooked nose, and a scar on his forehead that ran down the bridge of his nose. His clothes were tattered and worn, and his eyes were glazed over and puffy. His body was skin and bone and looked like gnarled tree limbs. He looked like he hadn't taken a bath in years too.
When he looked at Reiko he stopped trying to escape. He looked her over and then gave an ugly grin. His teeth were brown and rotting. (AN: yuck!! *gags*) Reiko raised an eyebrow and went to retrieve the bag. When she bent down to pick it up then man's hand got free of the bindings and grabbed her leg. She screamed and tried to yank away but the man's grip was stone tight. Finally her father ran over and pulled his daughter away from the crazy man.
"Lovely daughter you have there. Great power that one has. I can taste it!" The man laughed, sending chills down Reiko's back. He stared into her eyes and she felt power radiating from him. She backed up and hid behind her father.
Her father spat, "You stay away from my daughter you bastard!"
"Hey come on, at least call me by my name and then a bastard! Oteck is the name! Oteck The Bastard! Haha!" He started to roll around, arching his back and kicking his feet. Suddenly Reiko's bindings broke. He jumped to his feet and yelled, "She isn't the only one with magic. I have been searching for someone with her kind of power and now that I found it, she will be mine!" He spun and ran away on all fours again, giving on last laugh.
Reiko breathed heavily, wondering what the man said and yet not wanting to. Her father looked at her then to his wife, who nodded and started walking away. Reiko's father took her hand and said, "Do not use your powers for a while alright honey? It could be dangerous."
"But what did that man mean by..."
"Don't dwell on what he told you. Just don't use your power." Her father said sternly. Reiko nodded and walked side by side with her father.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She grunted and put the bucket of rice down. She wiped her forehead with her sleeve and sighed. The day was very hot and she still had to help bring the rice to the house. Speaking of help, Reiko looked around for her family and saw no one. She called out, "Mother! Father! Morter! Where are you?"
"They're gone my little bundle of power." Reiko spun around to see Oteck sitting on his haunches on top of the wall, holding up a bloody sword. "They had an unfortunate accident. Slipped and fell on my sword. Aw well." He grinned, wiped off the blade, and placed it back in its sheath.
Reiko was fuming with anger. He killed her family for no reason. No, he had a reason, so he could get her without interference. She clenched her fists. "You murderer! Why did you do that!?"
Oteck tilted his head like a dog. "Why? Because how else would I get you? Ask if I can take you? Oh no! Your family would disagree and that couldn't happen now could it?"
Reiko moved into a battle stance and sneered, "I will kill you in the name of my family you bastard!" She raised her palm in the air and an energy ball was created in her palm, which she threw at the man. He didn't move one inch but yawned and brought up his own hand and a white energy ball met with hers, canceling out hers. Reiko stared in disbelief. Then man just laughed.
"Didn't know I could do that did you? Well why don't we have a lesson about the difference in our powers and why they did that."
Reiko moved back into a battle stance. "There isn't any difference in our magic. All magic is the same!"
"My goodness woman, don't you know your power isn't normal?" Oteck giggled and continued, "Most magic is made from what is called 'positive energy'. It is the energy around us that makes it up. The body takes in the energy and creates the magic. But yours..." He pointed at her. "Yours is 'negative energy'. Energy that is about one million times greater than positive energy. It comes from the very being of your soul. It intertwines with the positive energy around you and BOOM! Negative energy is formed!" He said, clapping his hands.
"But it isn't easy to create negative energy. It takes Great Spirit strength and strength to control it. Your soul is very strong, probably the strongest I have ever felt. It also takes a certain emotion to trigger it. I bet you know what yours is. It was the emotion you felt when you first started to use it."
Reiko remembered when she first used it. She was 5 years old and some bullies were picking on her. She became frightened and held up her hands in defense, making the magic flare out of her hands. Fear triggered the magic and thus it was born.
The man nodded his head and smiled, "I knew you would. You wanna know something else? I knew about it before you were even born." Her eyes widened. "I can see the future. Fifteen years ago I had a vision of a young baby girl about to be born with extraordinary power. A girl who could one day save the race of man. . . or obliterate mankind." Reiko started to back away. The man jumped down from the wall and was on top of her in seconds.
Reiko screamed but he silenced her by putting his hand over her mouth. "I have been looking for you for fifteen years. I was looking for your power. You will help me some day rule the pathetic race we call humans and I will do it with you!" Reiko kneed him in the groin making him release his grip. She ran into the house and started for the front door. Only now he was standing there, arms stretched open as he caught her and dragged her to her room.
Reiko kicked and punched, knowing her magic to be useless against his. Negative energy might be more powerful but not against his because he was able to develop his to match hers.
She looked down and saw her family, mutilated and lifeless. She started to cry and break away but to no avail. Oteck got her into her room and slammed her on the futon. She hit with a loud thud and quickly got up and backed away towards the wall.
There he raped her, over and over again, making her cry out in pain and making her fear grow. Finally it was just too much and she screamed, releasing her magic without even realizing it. It tore at houses in the village and killed countless people.
The man collapsed on top of her, breathing heavily. Slowly he got up and dressed, leaving her bleeding and bruised. Before he left he whispered, "Now every time you use your power, a part of me will try to take over. Every time your fear consumes you, I will be trying to take control through insanity. Now, I'll be back tomorrow for you." With that he left.
Reiko cried and cried, feeling physically sick and emotionally unstable. Finally she fell asleep, only to be consumed by nightmares.
*~*~*~*End of Flashback*~*~*~*
Reiko now had tears streaming down her face in the remembrance of that fatal day. "The next day the villagers stormed my house, accusing my of destroying their houses and killing their loved ones. I tried to explain but they wouldn't listen to me. The abused me, much like what happened here. My fear took control and I. . ." She shut her eyes tightly. "I killed them! I couldn't stop it! I was some kind of monster! Tainted by that evil despicable man! When I came back to my senses the ones who still survived ran away from me, not letting me explain my actions. Not able to take it anymore I just ran and ran. I took a boat and went anywhere but my homeland. For ten years I have been traveling, trying to find a new way to live, to use my powers. But mostly to escape from him. I know he follows me. He always knows where I am and he will find me."
More tears streamed down her face and Sesshomaru wrapped his arms more tightly around her. She sobbed. "I just think I should just kill myself. Then no one would get hurt. No one would care. . ."
"You're wrong!"
Reiko's head shot up and Sesshomaru now had tears in his eyes. "Don't ever say that! People would care! What about your friends Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango? What about Makoto, Chika, and Shippou? What about Keade?" He now let his tears fall, "What about me?" he whispered. Sesshomaru put his forehead to hers, his breathing husky. "What about me, Reiko? I don't know what I would do if you. . ." He closed his eyes and more tears fell.
Not able to hold back anymore, Sesshomaru lifted his head and captured his lips with hers. Reiko was at first surprised but then closed her eyes melted into the kiss. Sesshomaru slowly pulled away, getting a good look at her face.
He put his hand on her cheek and whispered, "Aisheteru Reiko. I never loved anyone as much as I love you. You taught me love. Taught me to love even my brother. Don't tell me no one would care because I would break apart if you left."
"Oh Sesshomaru..." Reiko wrapped her arms around his neck, nuzzling it with her nose. Sesshomaru held her tight around the waist, trying to get the frightening image of Reiko dying out of his mind. He felt her breath on his ear. "Ashiteru Sesshomaru. I've wanted to say that for the longest time." Sesshomaru's grip got tighter and put his head on her shoulder, tears of happiness now falling. She pulled away to look at his face.
She wiped his tears away and pulled him into a another kiss. Sesshomaru tilted his head and kissed back, savoring her wonderful taste. She wrapped her arms around his neck again. Sesshomaru's tongue touched Reiko's lower lip, begging for entrance, which she granted gladly. Their tongues met in sweet harmony, tangled lovingly together. Air was becoming an issue so they had to break the kiss. Reiko looked at him then bowed her head.
"But how could you love someone who was tainted like that? You wouldn't be able to look at the scars across my body."
Sesshomaru took her chin in his hand. When she was looking at him he placed a chaste kiss on her lips and said, "I don't care about your past. To me you are not tainted in any way. You belong to me and I will treasure you as if you were my life." She smiled and flung herself on him, making him fall onto the futon, completely forgetting about her aching body.
Reiko immediately attacked his mouth, her tongue darting inside to explore the sweet tasting cavern. He just held on to her, running his hands through her hair, making his curves blend in with hers, making them one.
Pulling away from her mouth he began to place kisses on her chin and jaw- line. Slowly he moved to her neck and suckled gently, making her moan in pleasure. Reiko arched her neck to give Sesshomaru more of her neck to treasure, which he attacked greedily. He like the soft noises coming from her throat and worked his way up to ear and biting lightly on the lobe.
Reiko groaned and started attacking own his neck with many kisses, this time making him groan. She moved his shirt a little of his shoulder and began trailing kisses on his collarbone. Reiko ran her hands through his soft hair, loving the feel of it and wanting to feel it against her body. She dipped her tongue in the hollows of his shoulder and neck, finally coming back up to capture her mouth with his.
Sesshomaru pulled away, making Reiko protest but then moan as he placed kisses on her own collarbone, finally working his way back to her neck. His hands roamed around her body, finding some of her ticklish spots that made him smile and her laugh. He gently suckled her sensitive skin, making his way to where the soft flesh was between the neck and shoulder connected. There he sank his fangs into her skin, marking her his, forever and always.
Reiko gave a slight gasp at the slight pain but heard Sesshomaru whisper in her ear, "Now no one can have you. You're mine." He licked her neck apologetically for the slight pain, making her shiver and moan in her throat. She smiled and leaned in for another kiss.

Chapter 6
'Are you having fun yet?'
His voice rang loud in the room and she tried to get off the futon, clutching the blanket to her naked form. When his face came into view she coward in fear and tears rolled down her face. The man laughed 'yes that's it. Become fearful, I can feel your powers growing with the need for release.' Her eyes widened. Then man came closer and closer to her. He was only a foot away from her, his red eyes gleaming in the dark.
She began to cry, 'No please go away! Don't do this! Not again.' The man just laughed again. He knelt down and roughly grabbed her by the hair and kissed her hard, enough to leave a bruise. She tried to escape but his hold was too strong on her. He ripped the blanket from her hands and left her naked. The man sat on her chest making her gasp for air because of the weight, now she'll have bruises on her chest. Again she tried to get away but he held her down.

The door flew open and in came Keade with a bow and arrow ready. Seeing no one she put the bow down and looked at the two on the futon.
"Sesshomaru-sama, what happened?" Sesshomaru shrugged indicating that he didn't know. Keade came over and placed her hand on top of Reiko's head. "Little one, what is the matter with ye?"
Reiko just shook her head and mumbled, "The pain, make it go away..." She curled up into a ball and trembled. Sesshomaru picked up her fragile form and placed her in his lap.
"Sesshomaru." She whispered. He kissed the top of her head then placed his cheek on her head. "I'm right here Reiko. I won't leave you alone." Reiko sniffed, trying to stop the flow of tears. Keade decided it was time to leave the room. She got up and closed the door behind her.
Reiko's tears finally subsided and she turned her face towards Sesshomaru's. From the dark circles under his eyes he hasn't slept much. She blushed. "How long have I been asleep?"
Sesshomaru stroked her cheek, wiping away access tears. "For about two days. You had a fever, and you were talking in your sleep. The fever broke only yesterday."

Fifteen-year-old Reiko walked happily through her village. Her mother held her younger brother, Morter, and her father walked proudly next to Reiko. Reiko's mother looked down at her daughter and smiled. She had just completed some of her training with her powers and was improving everyday.

Her father spat, "You stay away from my daughter you bastard!"
"Hey come on, at least call me by my name and then a bastard! Oteck is the name! Oteck The Bastard! Haha!" He started to roll around, arching his back and kicking his feet. Suddenly Reiko's bindings broke. He jumped to his feet and yelled, "She isn't the only one with magic.

"But what did that man mean by..."
"Don't dwell on what he told you. Just don't use your power." Her father said sternly. Reiko nodded and walked side by side with her father.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She grunted and put the bucket of rice down. She wiped her forehead with her sleeve and sighed. The day was very hot and she still had to help bring the rice to the house. Speaking of help, Reiko looked around for her family and saw no one. She called out, "Mother! Father! Morter! Where are you?"
"They're gone my little bundle of power." Reiko spun around to see Oteck sitting on his haunches on top of the wall, holding up a bloody sword. "They had an unfortunate accident. Slipped and fell on my sword. Aw well." He grinned, wiped off the blade, and placed it back in its sheath.

Reiko now had tears streaming down her face in the remembrance of that fatal day. "The next day the villagers stormed my house, accusing my of destroying their houses and killing their loved ones. I tried to explain but they wouldn't listen to me. The abused me, much like what happened here. My fear took control and I. . ." She shut her eyes tightly. "I killed them! I couldn't stop it! I was some kind of monster! Tainted by that evil despicable man! When I came back to my senses the ones who still survived ran away from me, not letting me explain my actions. Not able to take it anymore I just ran and ran. I took a boat and went anywhere but my homeland. For ten years I have been traveling, trying to find a new way to live, to use my powers. But mostly to escape from him. I know he follows me. He always knows where I am and he will find me."
More tears streamed down her face and Sesshomaru wrapped his arms more tightly around her. She sobbed. "I just think I should just kill myself. Then no one would get hurt. No one would care. . ."
"You're wrong!"
Reiko's head shot up and Sesshomaru now had tears in his eyes. "Don't ever say that! People would care! What about your friends Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango? What about Makoto, Chika, and Shippou? What about Keade?" He now let his tears fall, "What about me?" he whispered. Sesshomaru put his forehead to hers, his breathing husky. "What about me, Reiko? I don't know what I would do if you. . ." He closed his eyes and more tears fell.
Not able to hold back anymore, Sesshomaru lifted his head and captured his lips with hers. Reiko was at first surprised but then closed her eyes melted into the kiss. Sesshomaru slowly pulled away, getting a good look at her face.
He put his hand on her cheek and whispered, "Aisheteru Reiko. I never loved anyone as much as I love you. You taught me love. Taught me to love even my brother. Don't tell me no one would care because I would break apart if you left."
"Oh Sesshomaru..." Reiko wrapped her arms around his neck, nuzzling it with her nose. Sesshomaru held her tight around the waist, trying to get the frightening image of Reiko dying out of his mind. He felt her breath on his ear. "Ashiteru Sesshomaru. I've wanted to say that for the longest time." Sesshomaru's grip got tighter and put his head on her shoulder, tears of happiness now falling. She pulled away to look at his face.
She wiped his tears away and pulled him into a another kiss. Sesshomaru tilted his head and kissed back, savoring her wonderful taste. She wrapped her arms around his neck again. Sesshomaru's tongue touched Reiko's lower lip, begging for entrance, which she granted gladly. Their tongues met in sweet harmony, tangled lovingly together. Air was becoming an issue so they had to break the kiss. Reiko looked at him then bowed her head.
"But how could you love someone who was tainted like that? You wouldn't be able to look at the scars across my body."
Sesshomaru took her chin in his hand. When she was looking at him he placed a chaste kiss on her lips and said, "I don't care about your past. To me you are not tainted in any way. You belong to me and I will treasure you as if you were my life." She smiled and flung herself on him, making him fall onto the futon, completely forgetting about her aching body.
Reiko immediately attacked his mouth, her tongue darting inside to explore the sweet tasting cavern. He just held on to her, running his hands through her hair, making his curves blend in with hers, making them one.
Pulling away from her mouth he began to place kisses on her chin and jaw- line. Slowly he moved to her neck and suckled gently, making her moan in pleasure. Reiko arched her neck to give Sesshomaru more of her neck to treasure, which he attacked greedily. He like the soft noises coming from her throat and worked his way up to ear and biting lightly on the lobe.
Reiko groaned and started attacking own his neck with many kisses, this time making him groan. She moved his shirt a little of his shoulder and began trailing kisses on his collarbone. Reiko ran her hands through his soft hair, loving the feel of it and wanting to feel it against her body. She dipped her tongue in the hollows of his shoulder and neck, finally coming back up to capture her mouth with his.
Sesshomaru pulled away, making Reiko protest but then moan as he placed kisses on her own collarbone, finally working his way back to her neck. His hands roamed around her body, finding some of her ticklish spots that made him smile and her laugh. He gently suckled her sensitive skin, making his way to where the soft flesh was between the neck and shoulder connected. There he sank his fangs into her skin, marking her his, forever and always.
Reiko gave a slight gasp at the slight pain but heard Sesshomaru whisper in her ear, "Now no one can have you. You're mine." He licked her neck apologetically for the slight pain, making her shiver and moan in her throat. She smiled and leaned in for another kiss.
