Chapter 21
'He must be the owner...' You think to yourself watching. Gyki leads the shady guy into the room's light and the shady guy's appearance is revealed.
The shady, owner guy had pale skin, slightly peach and looked no more than around the age of eighteen. He had short, black spiky hair and wearing a red, baggy gi with fancy designs on it and a black hakama. Him and Gyki continues heading toward the middle table as you notice his eyes slowly roam the room and stop on you. The shady guy's icy, teal eyes send you a bitter glare that you feel yourself paralyze under.
"(Insert Name).. Are you ok?" Your left eye twitches slightly and you blink. Coming back to reality, you turn around toward Sesshoumaru.
"Yea, I'm fine..." You say and smile. Sesshoumaru nods with a slightly unbelieving look.
"Good evening honored guests and employees!" You hear a voice say and the conversations around the room level down to whispers. You turn toward the voice to see the shady guy/owner at the end of your table standing, you notice his eyes glint slightly toward you and you decide to avoid eye contact with for now on. "Your presence is welcomed and flattered, thank you all for attending this gathering and the opening of Kouseki Kurimuson! And I, Lord Cole Blade, I'm flattered..." He says smirking. "But, for now feast, drink and be merry. The conference is soon to come!" He says and sits.
The level of whispers around the room level up again to conversation volume and soon eating commence. Soon, eating stops and the tête-à-têtes around the room rise as people walk around and conversing. You notice someone start to have a one-sided conversation with Sesshoumaru. You feel a tap on the shoulder and turn.
"Hi (Insert Name)!" Naomi says smiling slightly, also wearing a kimono, but unknown to you if castle provided or not.
"Hey Naomi!" You greet back, with a small smile of your own.
"Hey, do you want to go check out the garden with me? I heard they have some pretty rare flowers!" Naomi says looking happier than usually. 'Must be the strong sake...' You inwardly muse to yourself and shrug.
"Um, sure..." You reply and get up, glancing backwards towards Sesshoumaru, then following Naomi off to the garden.
You both exit through the large room's entrance to the garden and leave the porch steps, to once again meet with the grasses crunch beneath your getas. You notice the day have faded to night as you walk through the path area looking at the flowers. Naomi walks ahead of you looking around. You look at the pretty flowers and smile slightly at the pleasant smell. You reach toward one of the odd-looking plants, sort of attracted to it somehow. You stroke a petal and move slowly up the thorny stem avoiding pricks. Your finger stops at the rim of the flower and you lean in to sniff with glazed over eyes.
"(Insert Name), don't get too close to the plants! They could be dangerous!" You hear Naomi say up ahead.
You blink and look down at the plant. You circle your finger around its rim and lean away from it. You spot another pretty flower and walk toward it. You start to lean in toward the plant until you hear someone approach you from behind.
"Excuse me, miss that plant can drool acid that can deteriorate the human skin..." You hear the voice behind you say. You look down at the plant and notice drool slowly leak down over its petals. You back away from the flower, now knowing it was a bad idea to venture out into the garden... "You're Lady (Insert Name), with Lord Sesshoumaru, right?"
"Yes" You answer and turn around toward the mystery person to find the castle lord himself.
"It's nice to meet you, Lady (Insert Name), as you know I'm Lord Cole Blade, lord of the castle..." He says smiling politely, but you feel something eerily familiar about that smile.
"Hi, uh, nice to meet you, too." You say smiling back politely and you suddenly feel the shikon jewel twitch against your chest, which is something it doesn't do not at all often...
"Well, I hope you enjoy your stay here is enjoyable, Lady (Insert Name) and maybe later I can give you a tour?" He says as his polite smile turns into a smirk, moving in closer to you.
"Yea, maybe later..." You answer feeling just a tad uncomfortable, backing away equally as his approach; you hear the drip of the plant saliva drop against the ground in back of you.
"Well, I can't wait until later, then..." He says and takes your hand and brushes his lips across your wrist lightly. You shutter at the feeling and start to pull your hand away, until you see him look up at you and notice sharp, faultless, fangs protrude from his mouth and grace your wrist. His eyes glint at you and you feel yourself numb and freeze under his glare as your eyes widen. The feeling of his fangs slowly squeezing into your wrist is unknown to you.
"Hey (Insert Name)!!" You twitch as your eyes go back to normal and you wrench your hand away from the castle lord. "Hello Mr. Blade..." Naomi says greeting him.
"Yes, hello" He replies standing up straightly, glancing at Naomi then back towards you. You indignantly rub your wrist lightly confusedly looking down at it.
"Are you ok, (Insert Name)?" Naomi asks looking down towards your hand rubbing your wrist.
"Yea, I'm ok..." You reply and stop rubbing you wrist. "I'm going to go inside now..." You say and head up the porch steps back into the castle.
"I'm going, too..." You hear the castle lord say in back of you.
"Wait! Mr. Blade, um, what kind of plant is this?" You hear Naomi ask, stopping the lord from following you.
You enter the room and after a while of small chit-chat you find Sesshoumaru and decide to hang around him. Later on, after getting everyone's attention, Gyki declared the feast over and the guests could retire to their rooms if they wished. So, in the end you were lead by Sesshoumaru back to you're room after waving goodnight to Naomi first. After passing hall from hall and stairs, you both finally get there and just when you're about to enter, someone calls out to Sesshoumaru and he stays out to talk to them. You enter the room to find it dark, obviously because no candles were lit and the light of the day wasn't glaring through walls. You step through the room about to fall out on the futon, but remember you have a kimono on and you have to change.
You glance backwards at the door and assume you enough time to change. You quickly change out of the kimono and into your yukata and put the kimono and accessories in what seems to be the closet. You sit down on the futon and run your fingers through your hair. Just then the shoji slides open and close and you glance sideways to see it's Sesshoumaru, who seems to be removing some of his armor. You look away once you notice his out-line in the dark taking off more than armor, his gi. A tint of crimson graces your cheeks as you feel the futon shift and you reach up and twirl a lock of hair around your finger. You shift positions on the futon, so that you're lying down, but still sitting up on you're elbows with a die-hard blush on your face.
"Is something wrong?" You look towards the dog demon that's sitting up besides you and shakes your head gesturing 'no'. Even in the dark you could see his honey-golden eyes that seem to be scanning you and looking for one specific result...
"I'm fine..." You answer and he raises an eye-brow. "...I'm fine, really... I-I just didn't know we were going to share a room and a futon together.... Well, not that I think it's bad or anything... I think I'm just-"A finger seem to have found it's way to your mouth stopping you from proceeding your embarrassed sentence, livening the shade of red that never seemed to vacant your cheeks.
The dog lord nods as if understanding, as a smirk appears on his façade. His finger removes itself and he slowly moves in and finally presses his lips against yours. His tongue slides across your bottom lip and just as soon you give him entrance. His hand caresses your cheek lightly, unnoticed by you being lost in the kiss. His hand slowly descends over your neck, down your chest, over your natural mound, pausing and sending you a slightly hot sensation that radiates through your whole. You wrap your arms around his neck pulling him closer and deepening the kiss, lying flat on the futon. His hand stops at your yukata sash and tugs on it, loosening its grip around your waist. His hand slides within over your tummy and ever so slowly upwards... He hand reaches the base of your breast and-
"Excuse, Lord Sesshoumaru? Lady (Insert Name)? Um, Lord Blade wishes to speak with Lord Sesshoumaru!" A voice outside the door says.
Sesshoumaru breaks your lip-lock and you feel a low, annoyed growl rumbling in his chest. He shifts and sits up faces toward the door. You shift and sit up beside him.
"Ne, Sesshoumaru... Can't you talk to him tomorrow?" You ask grabbing his arm and looking up at him.
Sesshoumaru smirks, leans in toward you and presses his lips against yours and pushes you back once again flat against the futon. He breaks the kiss again and gets up. He walks toward the door, but not before putting on his gi first, he then walks out the room leaving you alone. You stare at the door at first surprised, but then annoyed. You fall back onto the futon and glare at the ceiling.
"Sesshoumaru no baka!" You mutter and roll over on you side.

Chapter done! Sorry for the lateness... 'Reads over lime' I am soo amateur, but that's for you guys to decide... What a limp chapter I've written --... Should the rating go up now, though? And also a lime is milder than a lemon, if you didn't know...
Baka- A Japanese word that I couldn't help to not put in. English synonyms for it are- jerk, fool, idiot, stupid, moron.... And other equivalents to jerk or stupid...
Geta- These are the sandals looking, foot-wear that you wear with kimonos and such... As seen on Rurouni Kenshin as Kaoru's and Kenshin's use of footwear.
Shikon Jewel- Of course you know what it is, but I haven't mentioned it not many times and the story revolves around it still... With you possessing the shikon no tama, but still not becoming one with it makes the demons that's attending the convention think you're not human because of the powerful aura and ki it's giving off... Yet, they don't know you have it...
Alright, please stay tuned for the next installment of the sequel to Reincarnation of Midoriko! – The Return! : Sesshoumaru Version!
Later!
