Karana woke up in a room in Sesshoumaru's castle, she had only been unconscious for about an hour, She got off the bed she had been lying on and crouched down in a running position. She took three deep breaths and started to run out the door. As she ran she knocked over Jaken . She reached the stairs and was about to run down when something white and fluffy wrapped around her waist and picked her up, the white and fluffy thing was Sesshoumaru's tail.
Sesshoumaru brought Karana as she struggled into a small damp room. He dropped her in there and muttered something as he left locking the door. Karana got up and pounded on the door for a few minutes before giving up and sitting down. It was then that she noticed a thorn as big as her fist in her arm.
Karana gingerly put her hand on the thorn and pulled for a second. She let out a sharp yelp in pain. She sat for a second then did it again and again until it finally slid out of the hole it had created in her arm. As it came out a pool of blood started to form. Karana tried not to think about the pain.
As a little bit of blood ran out of the crack under the door Rin passed by. She saw the blood and ran to Sesshoumaru. "Lord Sesshoumaru, Lord Sesshoumaru!" Rin said frantically. "What Rin?" Sesshoumaru asked sighing. "There is blood coming out of the door across from yours!" Rin said in a scared voice. "Rin go play with Jaken and I'll see what is the matter" Sesshoumaru said standing up and walking to the room where he had locked up Karana.
Sesshoumaru walked into the room and Karana looked up. "Before you say anything Sesshoumaru" Karana said saying his name coldly, "You may not call me wench or anything of the sort.". "Fine" Sesshoumaru said coldly. He walked over to Karana and moved her hand from covering the wound on her arm.
He looked at the wound for several moments then he pulled up he kimono sleeve and started to lick the wound. Karana knew his saliva was helping but she couldn't keep herself from blushing. Sesshoumaru finished licking the wound and pulled her kimono sleeve back down and stood up. "I have decided instead of killing you, you shall become Rin's care taker" Sesshoumaru said. "And if I refuse?" Karana asked. "Then you shall be killed" Sesshoumaru said bluntly. "I accept you gracious offer" Karana said mocking Sesshoumaru's monotone voice. "Don't push it with me wench" Sesshoumaru said leaving the room.
