Chapter Two: Nasty Little Hurts
Last Chapter:
"Shut up human. Your lady is with my father. You'll be taken to her, just stop screaming!" snapped Sesshomaru lifting the girl up by her kimono collar. Ayaka stared up at him with fearing eyes then something changed. Anger erupted in them. A very fierce anger.
"You...you have gold eyes...the demon that killed my mother...had gold eyes...get your hands off me you filthy demon!" shouted Ayaka slapping Sesshomaru in the face.
The Story Continues.
Sesshomaru was stunned for a mere second, Ayaka's slap sending a shiver of pain through his face. He moved his hand to Ayaka's to throat and she gasped and grabbed his wrist, trying to stop him.
"Dare you touch a demon's son human!?" snarled Sesshomaru.
Ayaka still held tightly however eyes still flaming with anger. Sesshomaru smiled wickedly. He tightened his hold more and Ayaka dug her nails into Sesshomaru's skin sending trickles of blood down his arm. However he did not release her.
Father will just have to punish me. I shall kill this girl. I shall crush that strong spirit. Oh how sweet it will be when I do!
"Sesshomaru!" shouted Lord Atsushi. "What on earth are you doing to that girl?"
"Nothing." Said Sesshomaru innocently letting Ayaka drop to the ground. She rubbed her throat angrily as she coughed and stood glaring at Sesshomaru. Lord Atsushi took her hand and said softly: "Your lady is with Lord Mikado. I shall take you to her. Your friend is already with them. Are you harmed?"
"No!" snapped Ayaka. "Just...get me to Lady Umae."
Lord Atsushi glared a warning look at Sesshomaru then picked Ayaka up and she clung to his neck as he sped off towards the palace. Sesshomaru followed at a slower pace, thinking things over in his head.
'The wench said her mother was killed by a demon with gold eyes.only dog demons have gold eyes. Yet it could not be Father because of his rule...Mother must have been the one to kill the wench's own mother. I do remember Mother being upset one day after she was done battling...if I recall correctly, she was disturbed because she accidentally killed a human women. Perhaps the wench is referring to the same women Mother killed?'
Sesshomaru went to his own room first to clean the small scrapes that Ayaka had inflected to his wrist.
'They'll heal in a matter of a half hour. I want to wash that wench's germs off me first though...'
"Jaken!"
"Yes me lord?"
"Bring me a wash bowl filled with warm water and a washing cloth. Do no do this quickly and it will be your life." Snarled Sesshomaru to his new toad servant. Jaken scuttled away to do his bidding and Sesshomaru stood in front of his window. He could see a small line of pink on the horizon.
'There goes my restful night. Stupid humans.'
Jaken returned and handed what his master requested over to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru cleaned the small wounds just as one of his father's servants poked her head into the door.
"What is it you want girl?" asked Sesshomaru.
"Sir, your father wishes you to meet him in his chambers." The girl said timidly ducking outside. Grumbling Sesshomaru left his room with Jaken scuttling behind him. He got a bit nervous as he neared his father's room and knocked on the door.
"Come inside Sesshomaru!" shouted Lord Mikado through the door. Sesshomaru pushed it open and pushed it shut whamming Jaken in the face. The little toad rushed inside and let the door shut with a click. Sesshomaru saw that Lady Umae was standing next to his father and the younger girl was standing very close to her, staring daggers at Sesshomaru. Lord Mikado cleared his throat and said:
"Umae, I promise that my son shall not harm your servants in any way, but I need them to be questioned. My son shall handle Ayaka and Gita is questioning Mai."
"Of course Mikado. Ayaka, will you please go with Sir Sesshomaru?" asked Umae, turning to look at the younger girl. Ayaka did not move, but just clenched her fists and Sesshomaru smelt her anger rise.
"Must I Lady Umae?" asked Ayaka with a tight voice.
"Ayaka!" said Lady Umae in a surprised voice. "You have never disobeyed me before. Is something the matter?"
"Nothing...its nothing." Said Ayaka in a whisper. Sesshomaru turned and left the room and he heard Jaken and Ayaka following him. He walked to the council room and didn't wait for Ayaka and Jaken to come in before shutting the door. He was almost sure he heard the girl muttering curses as Jaken pushed the door open and ran to stand behind Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru sat down and stared at Ayaka who had also sat.
"Who gave you permission to sit?" he snarled. Ayaka increased her nasty look, clenching her fists tighter but stood.
'Hm, this girl has no clue I listened to the whole conversation. I wonder what Father wants me to ask her? Oh well...'
"Why did you follow Lady Umae?" asked Sesshomaru, staring at Ayaka. She stiffened and replied:
"I told my mother when I was a few years younger I wouldn't leave her. I suspect my mother knew she was meeting your father." Said Ayaka coldly.
"Is that so? What of the elder girl that was with you? Did she also promise to stay with Lady Umae?"
"Mai was assigned by her father to watch over her. My Lady Umae does not care for Mai and Mai does not care for her. I think it suspicious that Mai wanted to search for Lady Umae."
"No one told you to think." Said Sesshomaru in a bored manner. There was a small silence then Sesshomaru asked:
"Why do you think that she followed Lady Umae?"
"I do not know I am not her. If you want to know her reason, I suggest you go ask her you filthy demon." Snarled Ayaka.
Sesshomaru's eyes went red for a moment and he shot across the room and pinned Ayaka to the wall by her wrists. Sesshomaru expected for her eyes to show fear, but instead they erupted once more in anger and hatred. She was breathing heavily and Sesshomaru snarled:
"You must never speak that way to me! You may be the servant of my father's new mate, but I am his son. Don't you forget that!"
"I won't!" muttered Ayaka.
Just then Sesshomaru heard his door open and there stood his father, Lady Umae and the elder girl Ayaka called Mai. Mai smiled and said with a slight laugh:
"Oh Little Ayaka! Using her tricks on a demon's son! How charming!"
Sesshomaru had unconsciously loosened his grip on Ayaka and she pushed him off harshly and ran and Mai screaming:
"Shut up you vile creature!"
Ayaka's fist was raised and it almost connected with Mai's face but Lady Umae screamed:
"Ayaka, stop this minute!"
Ayaka's fist screeched to a halt barely an inch away from Mai's unflinching face.
"Ayaka, I forbid you to touch her. What she said was quite rude and out of place, but you must forgive her of her evils." Said Lady Umae softly.
Ayaka did not take her fist down or look away from Mai and replied:
"Must you take her side Lady? It is I who cares for you as a sister, not she! It is I who defied your father to come after you, not she. And you take her side over mine!"
At this point, Ayaka was crying and she shoved Mai aside and ran from the room. Lady Umae stood there with a befuddled and ashamed expression and to Sesshomaru's surprise both Mai and his father were chuckling.
"Mikado...do you think she'll be alright? Do you think I was wrong in judgment?" said Lady Umae in a worried voice. "Don't worry dear. I'm sure she'll be fine. Sesshomaru, that girl is most defiantly worthy of being a wife to you!" laughed Lord Mikado.
"Father, I would never think of taking a human girl to my bed, no matter how worthy she is." Said Sesshomaru almost coldly.
Lord Mikado frowned at his son and with a giant sweep sent a nasty gash onto his son's chest. Lady Umae gasped but Lord Mikado swept her out of the room not even glancing at his son.
'Father probably thinks I deserved that...I might have...ugh, what are you thinking Sesshomaru? Humans are nasty, horrible creatures and the whole world should be rid of them.'
As Sesshomaru walked back to his room he noticed that Jaken wasn't anywhere to be seen. As he reached his room he saw Ayaka on the floor down the hall, hugging her knees. Sesshomaru could smell her tears and just snorted as his vision wavered. Ayaka looked up at him. Her eyes showed no anger or hate, but just stared at him.
"You're hurt." She said.
"What was your first clue human?" snarled Sesshomaru.
"That is a nasty wound. How did you get it? Oh teh, it doesn't matter. Would you stop moving? It's going to get worse unless someone treats it idiot!"
"I shall be fine, not that it's any of your concern." Replied Sesshomaru, hobbling into his room. Ayaka followed and shut the door. "What are you doing in here? Do you not hate me?"
"Oh yes. I loathe you down to my very soul Sir Demon. But I can't stand to see someone injured and not do anything about it if I can." Replied Ayaka, locking the door. Sesshomaru punched the wall.
"Get out before you regret it!"
Something connected with his face, and it took him a moment to realize that Ayaka had slapped him. He stood there stunned then went over to his bed.
He lay down on it and closed his eyes. It felt so good...
'Perhaps, I shall take just a small nap. Yes, a bit of sleep won't hurt...'
As Sesshomaru drifted into sleep, Ayaka poked him on the shoulder. Again she poked him, yet he did not stir.
"Sir Demon...? Filthy pig...?" said Ayaka. Sesshomaru did not wake. "Good." Ayaka smiled. She walked over to Sesshomaru's wardrobe and looked inside.
These are too fine to use as mere rags, she thought. Mine will do.
And with that, Ayaka began to rip the ends of her kimono off into strips until she was sure she had enough to cover Sesshomaru's wound. She found the small water bowl Jaken had brought to Sesshomaru earlier and set it aside. She careful took off the part top of his kimono and cleaned away the blood on his chest.
After that was done and the water in the bowl was very red, as well as the cloth, she began to tie the strips of her white kimono around Sesshomaru's waist. This was quite hard because she had to sit him up a bit to get the cloth around his waist. Once they were tightly wrapped around the whole wound, Ayaka wiped a bit of sweat off her forehead and put Sesshomaru into another kimono top.
She lay him back down and left the room, bumping into Jaken.
"Are you Sir Demon's servant?" she asked politely.
"Yes, I-I am." Stuttered a nervous Jaken.
"Would you look after him now? He's sleeping."
"I can do that." Said a new voice.
"Sir Jiro! How nice to see you!" said Jaken in a high voice.
"So, Sesshomaru is sleeping then is he? And who are you?"
"I am Lady Umae's servant, Ayaka. I shall be leaving now Sir." Said Ayaka, briskly walking away.
"Hm. Interesting girl. Jaken?"
"Yes Sir Jiro?"
"Go amuse yourself. I shall look after Sesshomaru. Tell my mother and father where I am."
"Lord Atsushi and Lady Naomi? Oh yes sir." Said Jaken rushing away.
"Now to go wake the idiot up." Said Jiro, going into Sesshomaru's room.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Jiro stood over his friend who appeared to be sleeping and bent down, sighing. Using one hand he whapped Sesshomaru who woke with a start and a loud growl.
"What are you doing!" snarled Sesshomaru.
"So, what did you do now?" asked Jiro with a smile and narrow eyes. Sesshomaru stopped mid-growl his chest feeling quite compressed. He took off his kimono top and looked at the homemade bandages that Ayaka had made.
"Ooh, so that's what you were doing with that cute human girl." Said Jiro, his eyes wide. Sesshomaru smacked Jiro over the head.
"Keep that damn look off your face. Father struck me earlier. I just remember telling her to leave then fell asleep. Nothing happened!" snapped Sesshomaru.
"Hm. Well that would explain why her kimono was so short and how come it's around your waist. What are you going to tell your father when he sees that? I wonder what he'll think when he sees the girl's kimono."
"Well, I'm not going to tell him about it, and you aren't either." Said Sesshomaru in a threatening voice. "And if that wench does, she won't have enough cloth the fix all the injuries I'll put on her!"
"Well, I see you're grumpy. Now, exactly what did you say to your father that would make him strike you?" Asked Jiro, relaxing on the floor.
"He made some comment on how that wench you saw would make a worthy mate for me. Then I said I would never take a human to my bed no matter how worthy." Grumbled Sesshomaru, wincing in pain as he remembered the feel of his father's claws. This injury would take a few days to heal, unlike Ayaka's small scratches in his wrist that were already starting to disappear.
"Sess, you always underestimate human women. How pitiful you are." Said Jiro shaking his head.
"Oh, I'm pitiful? You'll take anyone to your bed human or not. You're disgusting." Snapped Sesshomaru in retort.
"Sorry you feel that way." Said Jiro in a bored manner. "Well, I see you're in no mood to talk. I suppose you want to sleep. Well, good-bye then. I'm going off to amuse myself."
Then Jiro left with a smug look on his face. Sesshomaru grumbled at the door when he left:
"Going to amuse yourself with one of your families little servant girls you damn pervert."
'Damn, I need to get some sleep. Normally I don't snap at Jiro so much. And that stupid little Ayaka, she'll get what's hers someday. I'll make sure of it."
---------------
A/N: Yay! The second chapter is done and finished. To answer a question I got in my reviews, here are the ages of the characters.
Sesshomaru: 19 (human years)
Lord Mikado: 29 (hy)
Lady Umae: 24 (hy)
Ayaka: 17 (hy)
Mai: 20 (hy)
Jiro: 18 (hy)
Jaken: um.make something up.
If you want to know the ages of anyone else, just please put it in your review. And for the readers who are a little slow,
"These" mean that someone is talking and,
'These' mean that someone is thinking. Sesshomaru most often or anyone else, but I thought I'd mention it.
And if anyone is wondering about the names, I took them Ranma and my Newtype issue. (Newtype is a Japanese magazine translated into English. Very good!)
So, that's all for now. Happy New Years! My resolution is to do my homework and not take so long updating my stories!
Keep the reviews coming!
