Secret Meeting, Fulfilled Desires
The sun peaked over the horizen as the small camp began to wake. A new day, the journey would continue on. Although, all of them wanted to get there as soon as possible, they knew Nara wouldn't speak to any of them, but she might speak to their leader. His name was never mentioned for they all were afraid to speak it out loud. He was an aweful demon, more powerful the Naraku. Some rumors had even said that he had teamed with Naraku at one point to help gain his strength and power over the Eastern Lands. He craved power and knew of what had to be done. He must mate with the heir. Then she would be bound to him and have to obey his every command. The child that the two would create would help him in his conquest. He would rule these lands and eventually he would take over the West as well.
Shukin kicked Nara's side, growling at her to get up. Her grey eyes fluttered open as the pain set in. She pushed herself up and then looked to the morning sky. For a moment, she thought she caught wind of Sesshoumaru's scent. But that couldn't be, they were miles away from his lands. They were now entering the East. Nara shook her head to clear it. Shortly after, she was pulled to her feet and thrown into the cart once again. Today, shackles were put on her wrists and ankles to prevent her from escaping. They couldn't be to trusting of her. Somehow, they thought if they left her alone that she might run back. Nara wouldn't get very far in the condition she was in though. The demoness had refused to eat anything that they had offered her. She would rather die then meet her end without repaying her debt.
The cart began to move along as they entered a forest. About an hour in it was then that Nara realized that this forest looked familar. A small gasp escaped her as her eyes watched the trees pass her. Memories flooded her mind of playing here with her brother, of running from cat demons and being saved by the one person she wanted to see more then anything at the moment. Feeling the sting of tears, she blinked them back. Now was not the time to show emotion. For once, she decided to act like her master had. Maybe then, they wouldn't bother her as much.
Sesshoumaru was hot on the trail. He could smell Nara's scent and it was getting stronger as he ran along. The demon lord knew that he wasn't in his lands anymore and that didn't bother him much. He had traveled this far before. Infact, he had been in this forest before, if he wasn't mistaken. That rarely happened with him anyways. His cold eyes looked forward and noticed a cart trail. A small glint shown in those golden hues as he pressed forward. Sesshoumaru would get her back in a matter of hours.
Shukin stopped the cart and motioned for his lackies to stay by the cart and watch Nara. He had a meeting with his leader and it was a secret one. He traveled on further into the forest for about another hour. Although he swore that he felt the Lord Of The West nearby, he shook it off as just being paranoid. Soon, he was where he had to be. Now all he could do was wait for his leader to show his face. Even this leader made him feel slightly nervous as he didn't trust him.
Now that Shukin had decided to leave them to watch this frail demon, they all snickered at her as she looked at them without emotion. She wouldn't show them any fear. Not even concern or pain. They would get nothing from her. Angered by her choice, one of the demons climbed in the cart and growled at her, hoping to get a scream from her. Nothing. He looked back at the other two who just shurgged. None of them thought she would act this way. They were all told that she was skiddish.
"Listen, if you don't speak then I will take everything that I do to you as you saying that I can. So I better here a no out of ya." he said, with a wicked grin.
Now Nara didn't know what to do. Those words meant that she would have to speak or show some kind emotion. But she couldn't just yet. She couldn't give them that kind of satisfaction. Mating was something that was sacred to her and she wasn't going to let anyone do that to her just yet. For she would be bound to the one that took her and none of these demons were even strong enough to produce the next heir. Her thoughts then strayed to Sesshoumaru as she thought about mating. It was then that a slight pink hue came to her cheeks. The only emotion that could be seen for a while was what was happening to her right now. Quickly, Nara cleared her head as she looked up at the demon that was coming at her. The demoness gulped as his hands touched her. They were rough and hurtful. Almost to the point of crying out. However his touch would soon stop as the demon screamed in pain.
The dog demoness opened her eyes as she felt a rush of wind on her. A shadow was towering over her and when her eyes focused, she saw Sesshoumaru standing there holding his hand out with what looked to be part of a spine. The demon had been flown several feet away and was lying on the ground clearly dead. Surprise filled her eyes as she looked at him holding the blood dripping bone. She knew he was merciless, but hadn't seen him ever kill someone before. It scared her some to watch him throw the piece of spine to the ground like it was trash. Nara looked up at him and gasped as he leaned over to pull her up.
The demon lord looked to the other demons with slanted eyes. "I have claimed what is mine. Take this is as a warning for if she goes missing again, you will suffer a crueler fate then your comrade."
Both demons nodded and looked away from the two as Sesshoumaru walked away. But the Lord Of The West noticed that Nara had collapsed a few feet behind him. His brow wrinkled as he turned to face her. He could sense how weak she had become over the past couple of days. Again anger filled him as he thought of how they mistreated her. Seeing that demon over her, had caused him to end in a horrible death. However, Nara had always been weak and he didn't like that very much. Dog demons should be strong; yet here she was weak and relying on others. Sesshoumaru hoped that she would become stronger with time. Without a word, he walked over and picked her up. Nara's head was now resting on his white pelt.
So, the two dog demons traveled back to the West. Although, the demon lord paused every now and then for Nara who needed water. He didn't look to happy about this and so Nara kept quiet. Which he wasn't to fond of. Sesshoumaru wanted to get home as quick as possible, but with a female around that was almost impossible. It was coming upon nightfall, when he stopped again. This time it was for the night. Nara felt like she had to just get clean. To rid herself of the stench of those vile demons. So, she rose and staggered to a stream nearby. Nara pulled off the now tattered red dress and let it fall to the ground. She let her feet step into the cool water. It felt good against her skin as she moved in deeper so that the water was up to her neck. As she bathed, a smile came to her face as she remembered waking up to feel Sesshoumaru's soft pelt against her skin. Somehow, that had made her feel more at peace. Safe, much like it had been many years before.
Now, Sesshoumaru was walking in the forest at the time, thinking and trying to catch something for them to eat. His thoughts were on Nara and they wouldn't leave. How one female had done this to him was mind baffling. As he had caught the deer, he made his way back to where he had left her. His cold eyes scanned over the small camp and he noticed that she had dissappeared. A small growl came from him as he began to sense where she was. Letting her scent guide him to the small stream, he moved swiftly. Although, he could hear her voice well before he came to the stream. His golden hues looked at her as she sang softly to herself. How her voice seemed to calm him. He blinked a few times and just continued to listen. His whole body seemed to relax as he watched her. However after a while, he realized that she was quite the demon. 'Strong, she is. But not physically, mentally. That is a feat that few know.' he thought to himself as he continued to be near her. It was in this realization that he knew she would make a good mate. An offspring with her would definatly be a strong one indeed. Not only with great physical strength, but one with a great mental power as well. A slight smirk came to his face as he made his way to where she could see him.
Her thoughts were still on him as she contined to sing. Nara's back was turned to him as she couldn't see him come into view. It was only when he let his presance be known that she stopped singing. Scared to move or even say anything, she just stood there. 'Why is he here? Was he worried?' she asked herself as she just stood there frozen. Nara hadn't expected him to be watching her or even letting her know he was near. It was certainly a surprise for her. Finally, as he took a step closer, she turned slowly to face him. Although most of her body was still under the water, she still felt vulnerable. A small gulp came from her as she no longer spoke due to the events that had happened.
"I see that they haven't taken you once again." His voice cool as the water itself.
She nodded. Her face still grim. Sesshoumaru took a step closer to the water's edge. His eyes looked over at her and wondered if she was going to comply. Not that he cared if she said no. The demon lord would still do as he pleased. His cold eyes looked at her and as Nara looked up with those eyes full of fear. It was then that Sesshoumaru decided to make that fear go away. No more fear and pain. He didn't want to see that in her eyes.
"Come here." he commanded. His tall form still standing there at the water's edge.
It didn't take long for Nara to move back to the shore. Although at the moment, she forgot that her clothes lay by the bank. Her mind was set on why he had chosen to stay and wait for her. Thoughts seemed to grow as she felt the cool night breeze blow on her wet skin. A shiver came over her as she stopped about knee deep and looked at him. Her grey eyes seemed marvel over his own mark, the cresent moon, on his forehead. A hand went to her right cheek as she knew that her mark was significant as well. Nara watched as the night air blew his silvery hair. Wonder came over her as she looked at him. Indeed he was an attractive demon, but she had no chance of being his. A slave didn't mingle in the love affairs of the royals. But as she thought that, Shukin's words rang in her ear. About her being the heir to the Eastern Lands and being a royal herself. She blinked several times and the looked to see that her lord and master was waiting for her to come closer. With that, she continued to move until she was standing right before him.
Watching her as she moved out of the water; his face did not change as his eyes followed her movements. Even after all this time, she still was graceful. Indeed she was the heir to the Eastern Lands. That bit of information about her didn't change his mind about taking her as his mate at all. Sesshoumaru knew that her strong will mixed with his physical strength would be more then enough to make a powerful offspring. Once she stopped, his eyes looked her over admiring her small yet beautiful body. The demon lord kept his face the same, emotionless. And once she stopped right before it was then that he decided to tell her what he was about to do.
"Nara, I have come to the decision to take you as my mate."
Her eyes widened as she looked up at him with utter shock. Had he just said that he would take her as his mate? She blinked a few times. She didn't have a choice in the matter. Not that she didn't want this. Infact her thoughts had gone down this road many times, but she couldn't possibly have ever thought that it would happen.
"And I shall do so tonight." he said, reaching out to pull her closer to him. Letting his white pelt wrap around her to dry her wet skin, his own hands held her close. Although it was hard to tell, but Sesshoumaru was trying to gentle with her. He had seen how horrible those vile demons had treated her and didn't want that to carry on with him. Once she was dry, the demon lord led her a little ways away from the stream. He stopped and placed her against a tree and just looked at her naked body. When he got to her cheeks, he noticed the red hue there and smirked.
Nara didn't say a word as she felt his claws run down her body. However, her grey eyes widened as Sesshoumaru began to take off his yellow sash and let it fall to the ground. With that, his loost shirt opened on its own; revealing his well toned chest to her. Without realizing it, Nara licked her lips in satisfaction to the sight. As if not missing a beat that loose cloth would soon be on the ground with the sash. Nara couldn't believe the sight in front of her; a rather attractive demon lord willing to mate with her. It was as if she was dreaming. However, her gaze wouldn't go unnoticed as he looked at her before letting his pants fall. It was then that Nara looked away embarressed about all of this. Sesshoumaru couldn't help but smirk at her reactions. One of his hands went out to turn her face to look at him. In his eyes, she could see some emotion. Shock came over her face as she stood there. For in his eyes was actually some care and compassion.
The Lord Of The West laid her down on the soft grass. His own pelt under her head. Sesshoumaru was actually thinking for someone else, strange. Yet everything about him had been different since this one female demon came to him. The demon lord looked down at her as he kneeled over her. He admired her soft and delicate skin as it seemed to glow under the light of the full moon. Nara's grey eyes seemed to look at him with consent to what he was about to do. It just seemed right to mate with him. Even though, he was the Lord Of The West, her heart seemed to be screaming at her that this was the right choice. The demoness knew to always follow her heart in these matters. To always open her heart to the matters of things that she couldn't explain. So, a small smile could be seen on her face as she looked up at him.
Sesshoumaru looked at her with question and once he saw that look in her eyes, he leaned down to capture her mouth with a forceful kiss. To his amazement, she didn't whimper or pull away. Instead, she kissed him back with desire. It was as if she had been waiting a long time for him to be this close to her. The demon lord pressed his body close to her as he deepened the kiss. Still Nara kept quiet as she felt new emotions flooding through her body. All of this was new for the pair as one had never thought that it would be nesscessary, while the other didn't think it possible. The demoness could feel the bond beginning. She would feel that her body was becoming bound to him. It was then that she smiled against the forceful, hungry kiss.
Nara let her body push against Sesshoumaru. She wanted to be closer to him, so close that she couldn't feel anything else but him. The demon lord didn't know how to react as she let her smooth skin press against him. He could feel his head becoming light and he wanted to get rid of these feelings that he had. But that wouldn't happen for a long time as she always made some emotion come out of him whether he liked it or not. His hands went to roam over her delicate form. The demon lord could feel the goosebumps on her skin as he did so. A cool smirk appeared as he figured she liked his touch. Although, he claws were scratching at her, she would only let out small gasps every now and then. She was making his mind spin so much. With every action she took, he wanted her more and more.
Finally, he had had enough of her teasing and Sesshoumaru decided that now he would take her. He didn't even give her warning, the demon lord did as he pleased. It was then that Nara moaned slightly as she felt her bond increase with his last action. A wave a passion came over her as she looked up at him to see that his face held what looked to be pleasure. Although, Nara felt a lot of pain because of the mating, that didn't stop her from letting him do so. She wanted more then anything to be his mate and it was happening right now. Her eyes looked at him with passion and desire. In that moment, the demon lord knew that she was indeed the one to be his mate. He continued to press on, hearing her moans only made him more excited. So, he pressed on harder only to hear the small and soft moans that gave him a satisfied smirk.
Nara laid there and closed her eyes, enjoying this passion that he was giving her. Her body tensed as he continued. She let her hands wrap around him and her hands dig into his back. The demoness felt extascy coming and she wanted it more then ever. But, her voice was failing. Nara could only hope that her eyes would show the great need that she wanted fulfilled. It was when those emotions were seen by Sesshoumaru that he decided to give her the satisfaction that she wanted. His actions would become more agressive until he was finished. He laid by her side, leaving Nara to lay there astounded. She looked over at him and smiled. Indeed she was now his mate and felt that bond with him.
"Rest now, we leave at dawn."
Shukin waited in the clearing for his own leader. Fear was in his heart as he stood there for a few more minutes, until his master showed up. His eye were colder then even the Lord Of The West as he entered the clearing to see one of his most loyal servants. He rather liked this one, always doing his bidding and making sure that he had everything that he wanted. Like the heir to the Eastern Lands, he knew that he would have her and that no one could stop him. Not even Lord Sesshoumaru himself could save this one female demon.
A smirk came to the nameless one's face as he looked at Shukin. He could sense the fear in him as he looked at. Satisfaction grew as he saw him as he came closer to Shukin. "I see everything is going as planned."
"Yes, I have her with us."
"Good. I don't want anything to stop me from taking her as my mate. I need that child more then anything. For that child shall be the key in gaining all of the lands." he said, his voice dark and almost subzero cold. If anyone thought that Sesshoumaru was cold, then this demon was frozen solid. He wanted nothing more then power and lot of it.
"Not to worry. She is safe and with us."
He sniffed the air. "The why do I smell that dog demon." he said, looking to where the group was. "I shall see for myself if she is indeed there." With that he made his way through the forest to where the cart was only to find that she had disappeared. His red eyes looked around and noticed that there were two demons huddled together, shaking in fear. The nameless one knew that the Lord Of The West must have been here. Judging by the now spinless demon that was now dead only feet away from where he stood. A deep growl came from him as his fists tightened. 'That demon wench shall be mine.' he thought as he looked back at the other two demons. "I shall go in search for her. Do not leave until I have returned."
With that he followed the scent of Sesshoumaru, his rage taking control of him. He wouldn't let another demon take his prize. He had worked to hard on obtaining that he most desired and he wasn't about to let it go now. So, his feet took him further away from Shukin and the others as he prosued the two who at the moment were resting. A smirk came to his face as he knew that he would gain her back and his plans would go forward.
