Chapter 4 Part 2
Sakela ran through the under brush making her way briskly through a small stream of water. Yelling villagers screamed and yelled for the capture of the demon healer. Her brown eyes scanned around for any safe haven. A man stepped mysteriously out from the think clutter of trees smirking evilly at her. Sakela stopped, the men appeared over the crest. The strange black haired man waved to her with his hand, wanting her to follow. Sakela hesitated before moving quickly to him. His hand grabbed her arm when she got close and clamped a hand over her mouth. Suddenly they were flying over the trees until a castle came into view. She gasped between his fingers. At a tall tree he stopped, Sakela smiled.
"Thankyou for saving me. How may I repay you?"
She asked politely standing on the branch of a tree. The man smirked.
"Stay with me in my castle."
He said.
"You will be treated well, Sakela."
He said smirking. His red eyes scanned over her body landing on her wrists.
"How did you-"
She began but was cut short.
"I know all about you, you're healing powers and such,"
His hand cupped her chin tilting her head upwards.
"And I can see you were in trouble."
She smiled nervously and pulled away from his hand.
"I will stay until you no longer need, nor want me near your side."
He smiled and chuckled.
"Good- I am Na-"
He started, but she interrupted.
"Naraku, you are hated by many and have a disappearing castle. "
She said simply crossing her arms thoughtfully.
"I have seen you doing nasty things to some others. But I have no reason to hate you."
She said quickly, Naraku grinned.
"Good."
His arm wrapped around her waist as he jumped from the tree and into the castle grounds. He let go when they were both safely on the ground. She looked around, the walls looked strong and the temple looked roomy. Naraku led Sakela into the main room, a small table and two jars were in the room besides a mat. The stone was cold on her bare feet as Naraku explained the rooms and hallways, before pushing a beaded door aside.
"This will be your room, Sakela."
He said, the room was normal sized, had one window and a beaded door that Naraku held back for Sakela to enter. She entered her voice echoing off the walls.
"Thankyou."
She said looking around the dim room. She nodded and walked over to the window, peering outside. "If you need anything please do not hesitate to ask." He said and if a blink of an eye he was gone.
Sakela sighed and sat on the floor. For the rest of the day she squirmed about trying to contain herself form being bored. Sakela stood and sat herself on the windowpane, her back arched against the cold stone. One foot hung out the window while the other rested on the pane up against the stone. Her hands lay neatly onto of her bare stomach. Her eyes slowly closed and she fell asleep.
Naraku entered a few hours later, he looked into the room. He saw Sakela resting on the window. He walked over to her body and picked her up like a bride. He set her down gently then covered her almost bare body with a blanket. As he left the room, her eyes snapped open. She shuffled down the hall, quickly after him the blanket wrapped around her shoulders.
"Yes?"
He asked, Sakela stuttered.
"Why did you want me to stay with you?"
She asked softly, Naraku did not turn around.
"You are strong, independent, beautiful, and courageous. I thought you would enjoy relaxing. Or are you not happy here?"
His voice rang through her ears.
"I am happy. I was just wondering. Most people would have asked for money or for me to ward away demons from there village. Goodnight."
She said turning abruptly down the hall and into her room.
