Chapter 6: Broken Love Record

I don't know how long I had been out of it, but when I woke up I was cuddled against something warm and hard. It took me a few minutes to realize what it was, as I'd never experienced anything like it before. Sure, I'd slept in my parent's bed before, but it always been beside my mother, not to mention the fact that my real father and step-father both had beer guts. Now this, this was pure muscle I was laying against.

"I see you're awake, ningen," he whispered, his breath tickling my ear, which I hadn't realized was sensitive until that moment. "That's good. Now maybe you could stop rubbing against me?"

Jerking away and shooting up off the ground, I almost fell down twice as blood rushed to my head. I clutched my chest when I realized who I'd been sleeping, or, what he'd said, 'rubbing' against until I saw his beautiful blue eyes and confident features grin up at me from the straw pallet on the ground. "Holy. Hell." I had the grace to say, knowing then that was the first time ever that I had blushed. "Kouga?!"

He chuckled as he rose from the pallet, and I swear, my mouth would have dropped. Why, oh why did my hormones have to suddenly kick in at this second?!

"You may now call me King Kouga, girl. I have marked you as a servant of mine, so you must address me thusly," he smirked arrogantly, pointing to my neck.

Self-conscious, I touched my neck and felt a damp spot. God, please don't tell me he gave me a hicky! It got worse when I drew my hand away and saw that it wasn't spit, but rather blood. My blood. "You... You bit me!" I exclaimed stupidly.

He laughed out right, nodding with that arrogant grin of his. "That's how we wolf demons mark our servants, ningen. I'm surprised Sesshoumaru hadn't done the same thing. Those dirty dog demons do that to, you know."

Is that why I constantly saw a hicky on my sister's neck? Had Sesshoumaru marked her as his 'pleasure' servant? That was very laughable. Unfortunately, at the moment, I was getting an eyeful of my new lord's chest as he didn't have his usual armor on.

But what got me, and I hate to admit it, was that I suddenly felt a tad wet in my private area from staring at Kouga so much. Okay, my hormones are officially raging now. Let's just hope I'd be getting pimples so he wouldn't notice how attracted I was to him at the moment.

"My, you are a strange looking ningen, aren't you?" He whispered as he lifted my chin with his fingers, turning my face to the left and right slowly, as if studying my face. "You have the cheekbones of an aristocrat, yet the jaw of a brawler."

Great. Now he thinks I was a brawler just because I'd broken my lower jaw when I'd been little. I can't help it that my sister had pushed me because I'd sat on her stuffed rabbit in the car!

I nearly jumped out of my skin when I felt his fingers caress the skin near my mouth. "But you have such a sweet little mouth. A mouth fit for a courtesan, I'd say..." He said, leaning dangerously close to my face.

Please, please don't look at me like that, I kept screaming at him in my mind, mesmerized by his naming of my once hated attributes. I couldn't help but think that he was not seeing me, not Angela Warr, but Alexandra Warr, my twin sister, my archenemy.

"Angie-sama!"

I jerked away from his touch in time to catch Rin as she flew at me, tackling me with a bear hug and chattering on and on about how she'd helped catch fish since 'Uncle' Kouga had brought her here. Thank you Rin for your timely intrusion. I had my hormones safely back under control, but I still felt that little tug at my lower stomach, and I had this faint feeling of emptiness that I've only read about in romance novels. Hopefully, this was just a phase.

I patted Rin's head and hugged her tightly, my motherly feelings overwhelming the aching in my stomach. However, a mix of the aching and motherly feelings soon overwhelmed my maternal instinct toward Rin. I recognized it belatedly as a wanting of a child of my own.

God, somebody, please tell me what's wrong with me! I'm so confused...

†

The windswept valley from the vantage point of the cliff I sat on looked absolutely breath taking. I had always wanted to see a valley such as this un-sullied by modern inventions such as roads and telephone poles. Call me an oldie-lover, but I cannot help but admire this world I have stumbled into. It is so beautiful, with only very minimal signs of human inhabitation...

"Oi, servant girl! Where's my roasted pig?!"

And it can only be interrupted by one such as himself, Kouga, my 'new' lord.

"Coming, Kouga-baka," I muttered under my breath, tearing off a piece of the pig I'd been roasting for his 'majesty'. No matter how much my body wanted his, I still couldn't stand his stupid disrespectful treatment of my person. For the past three days, I'd been subjected to the most brutal torture: for on, he made me call him King Kouga. Another, he made me prepare all his meals by scratch. I don't know how to cook! Third, Kouga hadn't let me eat for the past two days, because I couldn't cook for him! I'm getting hungry... And, lastly, the grand daddy of them all, the bastard still wouldn't let me take Rin and go back to Sesshoumaru. Not to mention that he let his pack mates maul me when I kept asking!

Reaching him, I threw the piece of pork at him, a definite twitch in my eye. "Here you are, 'King' Kouga," I growled at him, my fists clenched.

He caught the piece of meat and sat up from his lounging position, inspecting the meat with a critical eye. "You burnt it again, servant girl. No dinner for you again," he murmured, eating the meat anyway.

I froze on the spot, tears coming to my eyes; no matter how many times my sister had been ruthless, she hadn't let me starve to death! At this rate, I'd be a walking stick by the time anyone found me!

"Y-y-you fucking asshole!" I screamed at him, turning on my heel and running out the backside of the cave, not paying attention to where my feet led me. I dug my hand in my pocket for the emergency ration of M&M's, but they had been long gone by the fifth day I'd spent at Sesshoumaru's castle.

Finally opening my eyes, I saw that I was at the cliff edge where I'd challenged Kouga that first day. Not taking a moment's rest, I sat immediately on the edge and began kicking my legs like a little girl, trying to vent my anger and sorrow in the simple movement while wiping my tears away.

"Why did you run off, servant girl?"

I sniffed and turned my face away when he sat down beside me, his stupid wolf's tail flicking back and forth. "I have the right to remain silent!" I told him stubbornly.

He chuckled and grasped me about the waist, pulling me to his chest. I resisted him as best I could, but that didn't amount to much. He had my entire body at his disposal, all but my head, which I kept angrily turned to the side. "According to your lord, you have only the rights I give you. And, as of now, I give you no rights. Now, tell me, what's wrong, servant girl?"

Sniffing again, I grit my teeth and stared at my hands. "Through all the torture my sister has inflicted on me, shed has never let me starve to death, or go without water!" I practically barked at him.

He chuckled again and pulled me closer. "You're so silly, servant girl! All you have to do is recognize me as your new lord, and you'll get food and water enough to keep you content."

He. He was telling me to surrender to him?! Completely?!

Wait... Now that I think about it... When I was Sesshoumaru's servant, I still had say over my actions. I hadn't been a real servant, the kind Kouga's talking about... Would I be able to surrender everything I've worked so hard to keep my own? Will I let him take it all from me?

"No," I clenched my fists angrily, tears streaming out of my closed eyes, shut tight enough that I saw lights dancing behind my eyelids. "No... I'll never surrender myself to you!"

I wrenched out of his arms, calling out my energy sword without thinking and attacking him. It was all nature and instinct for me then, but my mind still worked a little. I could tell what I was doing, but had little control over how my body was acting.

He dodged my first attack, and several others after that, as if he could predict my moves.

Wait. He's a wolf demon! Back home, wolves are known for their hunting grace and honor, not to mention their fighting instinct. They were also canines, and could smell fear and any other emotion radiating off my body.

Forcing my body into stillness, I grinned at him. "You've only fought the wild side of me, eh, Kouga?" I asked him, poison dripping on every word. He looked at me strangely, a look I've never seen before. It made me rethink this strategy for a second, but only for a second. "Then try fighting both mind and body!"

I rushed forward again, this time bringing out another energy sword, even loading my feet with the energy so that I could either fly, jump really high, or move really fast. I was thinking several moves ahead by the time he dodged one attack. It was like a chess game. And I just happened to play chess well enough.

I ran past him and breakneck speed, turning my sword in the way I'd seen on TV once that would make the most impact with the least amount of exertion. My eyes widened as I felt the energy sword slip past the steel armor, tearing through flesh. I'd... actually landed a hit?! I paused, turning around to see him clutching his side, down on one knee. My god... I had really hurt him...

My energy sword shimmered to nothing as I lowered my head, gritting my teeth. I can't blame others for my problems... I know too well that everything that has happened is my fault... Just because I had to be greedy...

I got down on my knees, pressing my forehead to the ground. Damn it all, I would apologize to him, no matter how much my pride suffered. It wasn't like he'd harmed my person, except for maybe my stomach as it kept attacking the fat I had stored in my body for sustenance.

"Kouga... I... am sorry, for the harm I have caused on your person," I said, trying to staunch the tears that threatened to make me grovel pathetically at his feet. "Please forgive my impertinence... I only wanted..." I paused, knowing that I was being greedy again. "I will do anything for you now, my lord... Just forgive me for harming you..."

"I will not, wench!"

I gasped and lifted my head in time to dodge a little as he attacked me, his eyes flashing red as he stared into my own.

"Learn your place, bitch!" He barked, using a high kick to knock me off balance.

"Nyaaa!!!" I cried out, flying into the air and landing several feet away. I didn't get up, for I knew what he wanted. He wanted my complete and utter surrender, and the only way to do that was... "Forgive me..." I whispered, lying still as he tore at my clothes.

.

I once watched as one of my friend sat, listening to a broken record. A few weeks after I saw her like that, she'd committed suicide. At the time, I'd asked her why didn't she get it repaired, but she'd only said...

"It's broken... Because I'm broken..."
