A/N: Well here it is the long awaited chapter four. This chapter is very harsh. I do hope that you enjoy it. Beware there is much pain in this chapter.

Chapter 4: Broken spirit and will. As Falien and Sesshoumaru arrive at his palace in the west he looks down at her sleeping form. *This time I will make sure that you never leave and that spirit of yours will break before me. You girl are mine.* He smirks then kicks her in the stomach. The wolf cub growls at him. "Bite your tongue pup." The pup backs away from him. Falien falls to the ground from his kick and looks up at him. He calls for a servant and tells him to take her things and the pup to her room but not to say a word to Rin about her arrival. The servant complies then grabs her things and the pup vanishing into the house. Falien continues to look up at him in fear. "Wh..what are you going to do to me?" "You shall see. Now follow me and be quick about it." She stands as best as she can and follows right behind him. He leads her through the palace down a hallway that she had never traveled and out into the back of the house. Outside of the house in the secluded part which she had never known to be their she sniffs the air then holds her hand over her nose. "What is that awful smell." "Burning flush of course." She looks at him in shock. *Why would this place smell of flesh burning?* As she comes back to her senses she sees him waiting at the door to a stone building with an impatient look on his face. "Come wench." She quickly moves over to him not wanting any pain. He enters the building and walks towards the farthest back room. She follows right behind him her eyes scanning over the different objects about the rooms. As he enters the room at the end he waits for her to enter then shuts the door firmly behind him locking it.

She looks at him in utter fear of what might happen to her. He points to a weird chair in the middle of the room. She gulps then walks to the chair and looks at it not sure on how to sit on it. Getting impatient he pushes her forward onto the chair pushing her arms and legs through the restraints and locking them in place. He places the head strap around her head as he moves her hair from her neck to the side. "Now this is going to hurt like hell but you will take it. I care not how much you scream." Tears form in her eyes. Trying to turn her head to see what he is doing she finds that it is set in place by the strap so she listens to his movements. Hearing him put something in the fire and move away she wonder what will happen to her in this strange room. After a few minuets he walks back to the fire and pulls the object out and walks back over to her. He places his hands on her shirt then pulls the back down revealing the flesh underneath it. Without warning he places the hot poker on the part of her skin right below her neck and holds it there for a few minuets. Feeling the hot poker touch her skin she screams out in a high pitched scream of pain. Tears stream her eyes as she continues to scream wanting the pain to stop. As he pulls the poker away he starts to rub something on the burn then walks away. A few seconds later he returns then lifts her head pouring some water in her mouth. After giving her the water he then pours water over the burn and steps back to admire his work. The burn on her back is his personal mark of a crescent moon and a sword. He moves over to a nearby table and picks up a pure silver collar then moves back over to her placing it around her neck locking it tightly. "Rest here for now I shall return in a short time." He turns and leaves her there to her pain.

Sensing him having left she lets her tears stream more. *Why did this happen to me and why did he burn me like that. It hurts so much.* She tries to relax her body as much as possible. The door to the room opens once again and she hears footsteps enter. He walks over to her then releases her from the chair. "Stand wench." She leans back from the chair trying to stand up straight. "Come with me now." She keeps quiet and follows him quickly. They walk out of the building and back into the house. He heads straight to his room. "Inside now." She takes a deep breath then enters his room. He shuts the door behind them locking it tightly. "Now girl you will have some rules that you must follow. First of all you are never to speak unless you are asked a question that you can't answer with a nod or a shake of your head. Understood?" She nods her head. "Good. Next thing is you will not speak with Rin at all nor tell her any of this. You will take care of her but you are never to speak to her. Understood?" She nods. "Good. From here on you will sleep here in this room over there." He points to a small futon. She looks at it and nods. "You will not leave this room unless you are with me unless I have you run an errand. When I have you run errands you will do them quickly and without haste. The only time you will aloud to be out of this room without me is when you are with Rin. She is to be in bed an hour after the end of dinner. You are to bathe her. There will be no stories even if she insists. Understood?" She nods. "You are never to look anyone in the eyes. Your eyes are to remain lowered at all times. You will never argue with anyone. My word is above all so never go against what I say no matter what. From this point on you are mine and that mark on your back shows that, as does the collar you wear. When you are to come with me you will be wearing this leash attached to your collar and the other part will be attached to me. You will keep up and no slowing down at all. Is this all understood?" She nods softly. "Good. Now go to your futon and wait there I have paperwork to do." She nods then quickly move over to her futon and sits down softly.

He turns then goes to his deck and starts to look over the scrolls on his desk. As the day wears on Falien remains on her futon watching Sesshoumaru doing his work. Near the later part of the day Sesshoumaru stands then walks over to Falien snapping her leash about her neck. "Come it is dinnertime." He pulls at the leash and she stands quickly. He turns then walks to the door stopping in front of it. "You will open all doors for me." She nods the opens the door so he may exit and she follows right behind him shutting the door with ease. His pace is a quick stride as he walks down the hallway. She keeps up as best as she can the leash pulling a bit on her. AS they reach the dinning area she quickly opens the door for him and he enters. She follows behind him. As she enters she sees Rin smiling at her. Sesshoumaru moves around the table taking his seat at the point with Rin on his right and Falien on his left. As Rin is about to jump up and hug Falien Sesshoumaru stops her. "Rin. Sit down." She quickly drops to sit back down. "Sesshoumaru-sama why is Falien-momma wearing that thing?" "She wears it because I make her. Rin, Falien will take care of you during the day when I am not in need of her. She will not speak to you but you are to behave at all times. There will be no bed stories. You are to go to bed an hour after dinner no arguments. Is this understood?" "Yes Sesshoumaru-sama Rin understands and will behave." She smiles at him then at Falien. As the servants bring in dinner they eat it quietly with no talking. After finishing dinner Sesshoumaru has Jaken escort Rin to her room for bed . After Rin leaves Sesshoumaru stands then pulls at Falien's leash. She stands quickly. He walks out of the room and back down to his room. Quickly she opens his bedroom door for him then shuts it after they both are in.

After closing the door he looks to Falien. "Undress and stand next to the wall." She quickly undresses and stands where she was instructed to knowing the mood he is in, she dare not defy him. He moves over to her chaining her to the wall with the chains that are there. She bites her lip lightly not knowing what is about to happen. His mood unchanging from the moment earlier. After chaining Falien to the wall he turns to the bed chamber Armour. From there he pulls out a whip, gage, and a blindfold. Sesshoumaru walks over to Falien placing the items one at a time on her. After placing them he takes a few steps back, whip in hand and draws back. Falien closes her eyes waiting for the first crack of the whip knowing the first is always the worst to come. With that he lets the whip fall hard across her fleshy bottom. She winches from the initial pain of it but takes what he has to offer to her. "Did you like acting in fear today?" All Falien could do is nod her head, he just stands there looking at her with a smirk on his face pulling the whip back he lets it crack again across her already whelped ass she whimpers from it as a small tear escapes her ..... He then drops the whip and un-gages her stealing a kiss from her trembling lips.

He knows he has the upper hand and can do as he pleases for this creature means very little to him after the kiss he grabs her by the hair of the head and shoves her down on the bed...holding her face down he notices the tears running from her eyes...He decides to take some pity on her and gets the massage oil and tends to the whelps he placed on her flesh bottom. Slowly he rubs the oils into the whelps letting her feel his hands on her body....letting her for a brief moment feel how tender they can be he stands slowly disrobing himself....."I am going to get my satisfaction from you Falien one way or the other" he tells her, not knowing exactly what he means. With her face down on the bed he pulls her bottom into the air so he can look at her fully..... Looking at her love nest his hunger grows.....her bottom usually smooth and round with the red whelps caused from his whip. He licks his lips thinking to himself *this is truly a beautiful creature* not letting her know what he is thinking. With that he takes his love wand and rams it into her awaiting moisture not caring about her needs wanting to fill his own lustfulness He rocks her with a force that is great than slows the pace......hearing her whimper from it....he smiles knowing she can not speak to ask for her own satisfaction. He just takes her ..... Knowing that one day he will get what he believes will be to his satisfaction..... But what he is not realizing that the day will come when he to will need the girl for more than that. Losing his train of thought he goes back at a great pace ......building a fire within himself knowing he will lose himself in his satisfaction of the girl Sesshoumaru looks at her while he is fulfilling himself and smiles... he leans forward and bites her lightly on her back telling her " you are doing very well and are pleasing me at the moment" He leans back up riding her hard not wanting to give her any satisfaction but he decides he will be fair to her.

Leaning back down, he tells her "release girl" She releases her love juice for him and knows with all her heart all she wants to do is please him make him not hurt her or whip her any more. He keeps his pace as his arms unfold around her tiny waist...Letting go quickly he lets his own climax exploded from his body on to hers......He quickly un-gages her and un-blind folds her and speaks to her hoarsely "go get cleaned up girl and go to your bed" she can fell the coldness in his voice. Quickly leaving the bed and gathering her things she leaves his room and moves to the bathhouse.
