"Musing about a mortal."
roll in the futon
Can you believe it?. I don't know what the hell is keeping me from killing the woman at Rin-chan's room.
roll in the futon
Can you believe it?. I let her sleep on a futon in the very same room! She deserves the floor, no doubt about it. Feh. But if she sleeps in the floor, she'll broke her bones and I, Sesshomaru, can't allow any harm in any of my properties.
That's the reason. Right?.
roll in the futon
Can you believe it? she has the sharper tongue among the human filthy kind. My stupid brother also has a sharp tongue, but he is an exception, he is a filthy hanyou and hanyous are always stupid, but this female's tongue is… sharp!. Hehehe, This can be so bad after all. I can have a little fun after all. :grins:
roll in the futon
Can you believe it?… I, Sesshomaru, can't sleep. I hate when this happens. Just when I really want to have a decent sleep, I can't do it. this time, thanks to that insolent female (what happened with the 'wench' word?). Maybe a couple of walks through my castle will help me to sleep.
Then? What I, Sesshomaru, am waiting for?. Lets walk around.
I got my mind full of things. Maybe that's why I can't sleep. I, Sesshomaru, am still worry about Rin-chan, and that pathetic female sleeping there is really getting onto my nerves.
Walking asleep and naked?. I've never thought about that before, sounds interesting… in summer: tonight is cold, even for my greatness… but that's not the reason why I hate people wandering in my castle at night…
These last few days had been weird.
No. The woman is weird, not the days. She is bad sharp temper, sharp tongue, brave, reckless, and direct. She is insolent and shows no fear for me.
Well, that isn't exactly a fact… she is afraid of me in a way, but not like in the beginning… what?… A servant? Wandering through the castle this late?.
No. It's the human female. I forgot that she obey me not.
What the hell is so difficult about obeisance?. What part of the 'no' she didn't understand? A little bit of obeisance from her is the only thing I ask!… still, I like challenges like this. A female who doesn't obey me, excites me!…
:raise brow: Did I, Sesshomaru, say what?
She is walking in silence, always touching the walls, careless. I, Sesshomaru, wonder what is she doing. Just got curious, only that.
I will follow her, but…
In stealth. She got a very good hearing for a human. She detected me in her house, she heard my low annoyed growls (not even Jaken is able to detect them), and she knew that the windows in Rin-chan's bedroom were opened… among other things that I don't remember this minute, but I know they are there…
Curious woman. She also got a good aiming, a terrific one… and she is blind. A blind with aim! That was a surprise!. As far as I can tell, she can take care of herself perfectly. That is a useful thing, because I doubt that she is going to get any husband with her temper. And being one of my belongings isn't going to help her either… Its good to be me! She is going to kick the bucket because of that:grins:
She opens a windows. The wind hits her face, blowing her dark ebony hair. She is not very tall. Maybe about my half brother's wench size. But she is thinner and her hair is a little bit shorter than hers and got less volume.
What is she staring at?. I forget, she can't stare at anything, she is completely blind. What a waist of pretty eyes… Did I Said 'Pretty Eyes'?. HA! I don't think so! That's even more stupid than say that she got a nice watery scent, for a human…
… Did I, Sesshomaru, say WHAT!. What's wrong with me:shakes head:. She closes the window and turn over her heels, in my direction.
snif
Again that sniffing. I doubt that she can smell anything, she is only a human female, but still, she does that very often. Anyways, she doesn't got a clue how to do it properly. When you sniff, you got to take short and deep sniffs, not short and quick ones.
She take a few steps in my direction. She stops suddenly, turn over her heels and follows her way. Did she noticed me? I don't think so. Not even my chichihue could detected me when I use this special stealth technique…
I have to admit that only in a few occasions I have use this technique, and always with tough (but lesser) youkais (I, Sesshomaru, defeated them all :proud:). Why? Why I use it with a blind human?… she isn't that special!.
Maybe yes, but I'm not going to admit that. Never.
My studio. She found my studio. I have to give her some credit for that: everybody here never hit the door easily as her. She enters and walks through them as if nothing. Hey… that's a expensive painting! She is going to ruin it with her filthy fingers!…
…What a beautiful pair of hands! With long fingers and well cared.
I didn't notice her hands before… wonder why…
What's the matter with touching? Why is she touching the painting?. She touches everything in front of her hands, like if them were her eyes… Somehow, she seems fascinate by the painting… if only she could see… she backs off and continue her 'visit'.
Now that I remember, I saw paintings in her house. And sculptures too. She must've accustom, after all, she lived with artists. Too bad that her house burned to ashes after that earthquake. Now, she is leaving the studio. I keep following her.
Always touching the walls, walking slowly, as if to meditate her way. She moves in silence through the castle. She stops a few times and turns over her heels to 'face' me. She 'sniffs' and pay attention, but she keeps walking. She is probably lost.
I remember her touching my tail. :shudders:. She touched my tail, and not for a few seconds. :shudders:. She seemed curious about my tail, and she seemed to enjoy it. :shudders, shakes head:. Stop thinking about that kind of idiocy!…
… idiocy or not, it looks like I'm right!…
She laughed at my precious tail. All of the Inu youkai females I've met adores my tail, they always glomps to hug it when I allow it. This female blushed when I told her that she was rubbing my tail… and laughed at it after that. She is the first female that laughs at my tail. Most females loves it!… if she only knew how many things my tail had helped me to get…
She said she pity me for having a tail. Well, I pity her for being blind! She can't appreciate the magnificence of my tail… well… that's not exactly true… she rubbed and caressed my tail with her hands… :shudders:… and she seemed to enjoy it…
She loves my tail after all!. Good. I'm glad.
What the hell?… in which moment did she stopped and walked to me?. I stay still, like always. No, not like always: I can't move!. This female, standing just a meter away from me, somehow froze me. My eye twitch, I'm suddenly nervous. I'm nervous? Snap it! Remember who you are! You can't feel nervous about this! Just look at this human female: she is scare, I, Sesshomaru, can smell her fear. So, you don't have to feel nervous at all. She covers her mouth and takes a step to me, hesitantly.
What is going on? I can't move! Be gone, woman! and let me be…
She says nothing. But she is breathing hard, I can tell!. I, Sesshomaru, can hear her heart speeding up. She raised her arm and reaches for my face, as if to slap me. Grrrrr!. If she does that, she will loose that arm…
What…? She is caressing my face?… and now with her other hand?… She will pay this insolence!. She Will Loose Her Both Arms!…
… as soon as my arms decide to obey me. I'm death still. Why?… What's this? I can hear my heart beat speeding up too.
Since I met her, everybody around me is having problems with the nearest authority. In this case, me. And now that includes my body!.
What is she doing?. She is touching my face with both hands, as if drawing my features. I was wrong, her hands aren't beautiful… they are lovely… for a human… her skin is soft and smooth… her touch is… her touch is wonderful. My eyes. If she keeps touching my eyes, I will fall asleep soon. I must to be careful, I could get lost in this lovely feathery touch… her touch is relaxing… I feel like nuzzle her hands…
… Grrrrr!.
NO! I'M NOT! I WILL NOT DO SUCH THING! This Female Is A Filthy Human! And I, Lord Sesshomaru Of The Western Lands, The Rightful Heir Of The Clan Of The West, The Most Fearsome And Mighty Taiyoukai Of All Of Nihon SHALL NOT DO SUCH SHAMEFUL THING!
Nuzzle her hands? Her Filthy Human Hands?…
… Her lovely hands…:shakes head:. Why not? Besides the obvious?.
The woman stops and retreat her arms. Maybe she is sensing my anger. She grabs her own hands and shakes herself nervously. Suddenly… she is in terror. She covers her mouth and backs off.
I watch her. For several seconds. I'm still freeze. I watch her cover her ears and backs off again, as if running.
"Stop."
I said that?.
Amazing, the woman's face lost its colors. Her eyes are wide open. That's useless, she can't see. Her arms drops to her sides and her face soften a little. She closes her eyes…
… And faints.
She fainted?.
Finally. I can move now!. Maybe I was under some spell. Curious, I didn't felt any magic. I walk to her, ready for kicking her limp body for this insolence… but I… damn. I can't do it.
I turn over my heels and walk to my bedroom. I will leave the woman there: if she faints in the middle of a cold fall night, that's her problem, not mine.
I stop. I look over my shoulder. She is lying there, as if she were dead…
Something tickles my stomach…
To be continued…
