Stolen Mate, Surprise Revealed

The sun shown over the horizon as Sesshoumaru awoke. His golden eyes looked to the orange sky as thoughts filled his mind of the night before. The demon turned his head slightly to see that his mate was still sleeping peacefully. Her face looked so calm and she seemed to be in no pain. That was how he wanted things. No pain, or grief for her. The demon lord knew that she had been through much and as a result wouldn't speak. It angered him that something like this would happen to her. Again, emotions were surfacing as he laid there and watched her sleep. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get them out of his heart. The Lord Of The West had even thought that mating with her would satisfy his feelings, but that had only made them stronger. He turned his head to the sky once more and slowly a small smile crept to his face.

Nara sighed contently in her sleep, her body already recovering from being abused over the past couple of days. It seemed that just by being her mate now made everything better. A new sense of hope had been given to her. And unlike before, she now could feel like she was indeed close to him, though she would never say that to him. Her voice had chose to remain silent for now, but there will be a time when it shall come forth. She moved slightly in her sleep as the sun began to shine brighter. A new day was beginning, a new life for this one demon. Her eyes soon fluttered open to see that her mate had gone off again. She sniffed the air to catch his scent. He wasn't to far away. A warm smile came to her face as she sat up and stretched.

However, this day wouldn't be too good for long as someone was out to get Nara. Not fearing Sesshoumaru at all. That demon would be Genroku, the vile dog demon who was power hungry. His heavy footprints could be seen in the dirt as he followed the scent of the demon lord. He knew that she would be near him. His dark red garments seemed to rustle some as he made his way through the forest. However, he stopped once he saw Nara standing and singing softly to herself. A cold smirk came to his face as he watched her before letting his presence be known.

"Well, look what I found." he said, coming into to full view. His shoulder length dark blue hair blowing slightly in the breeze as his crimson eyes looked at her. Genroku was fairly tall. Tall enough to tower over Nara as he walked closer. The demon could see the fear in her eyes as she looked at him. Her voice remained silent as she watched him. His eyes narrowed as he noticed that she hadn't spoken or made any noise. "So it is true, you are the quiet one. Well, lets see if I can make you scream?" he asked, coming close enough to grab her.

The demoness only wrinkled her brow as she felt his nails dig into her skin. No screams or any noise came from her. Genroku growled as he looked at her. "Perhaps you can withstand that but lets see how you hold up to poison." he said, letting poison flow through his claws and into her bloodstream. It wasn't enough to kill her, for he needed her alive to produce a child. Nara's head felt kinda funny after a while. She staggered away and leaned against a tree.

Sesshoumaru sensed that something was wrong with Nara for he could feel her pain. Although she was hurt in the arm which he no longer had, he still could feel her own pain. He quickly made his way back to where she was to see her leaning against the trunk of a nearby tree. His golden eyes narrowed as he looked at the demon who had done this. No words came from him as he came forth. Genroku seeing him, smiled wickedly as he came closer.

"So, the mighty Lord Of The West has come to save this heir of the East?" he snickered.

Sesshoumaru didn't even make a comment, instead out came his whip as he prepared for battle. Genroku chuckled as he pulled out his sword and charged. "I am taking her. She shall be mine." he called out as he attacked. The demon lord blocked it with his whip. He didn't see the need to take out his own sword. The battle waged on and the only one making threats was Genroku. Sesshoumaru seemed to be calm as usual, not to worried about the battle. However, when Nara's wound began to hurt her, then pain from the wound also hit Sesshoumaru. This taking him by surprise, gave Genroku a chance for a strike, which was close but not close enough. His blade cut his garment, but nothing more. Bits of Sesshoumaru's clothes fell to the ground, showing that he only had one arm.

Nara looked over at her mate. Already dizzy from the poison in her, she felt like falling over, but her body just wouldn't let her yet. She saw that he only had one arm. The demoness tried to think back to the night before but it hurt to much. She knew that he had caught her with two arms when she was younger. 'I thought that he had two arms...' was the last thing she thought before her world went black once again.

Now, it wasn't to far away that Kija was still on his rampage. He could sense Nara and Sesshoumaru close by. His pace quickened as he came to the scene to see his sister fall to the ground. His rage only become worse as he charged in with his dark aura about him. His own thinking not there anymore as his own hands picked up Genroku and flung him against a nearby tree. The same tree that Nara was under, his body landing on her small frame. Genroku slowly got up and looked to the newcomer. A growl came from him as well as Kija. With that Kija began to charge at him again, not even noticing that Nara was close by.

Genroku had his poison claws out and began to attack, Kija dodging most of the scratching attacks. However, the other dog demon was getting some good hits in and Kija was becoming more pissed by the second. For his own protection, Genroku slowly backed away as he could see that this possessed dog demon looked a lot like Kija who is Nara's younger brother. However, by thinking this let him off guard and Kija once again had his hand to his throat, claws beginning to sink in. Only minutes later, did Genroku sink his claws into Kija's skin.

It was then that Sesshoumaru decided to act. He knew that Kija would end up hurting Nara and that wouldn't happen. So, he swiftly moved and pulled Kija back. The enraged demon looked at the demon lord and growled. It took him be surprise to see Kija like this. He looked at him with narrowed eyes and then to Genroku. "I shall return and take what is mine." he said, before leading Kija away. By this time, Kija was trying to get away but couldn't due to the poison now flowing through his veins. He steps were staggering, but Sesshoumaru pressed on back home. He needed a plan in order to take this one demon down. Tactics would be needed in order to start up this war that he had thought of. For Nara was now his mate and by taking her meant that they would all pay for that. His footsteps quickened as he made his way to his own lands once again with Kija in tow.

Nara was still out cold as Genroku picked her up and made his way back to the camp. He put her in the cart and then got in. Of course, he was furious with the events that had happened, but was still glad that Nara was still with them. The demon would have his heir soon enough and that seemed to calm his temper for the moment. His crimson eyes looked at her and smirked. At the moment, he didn't notice that Sesshoumaru's scent was all over her. But this demon would know soon enough.

About four hours later, the caravan showed up back in the main town of the East. Nara was still out cold, the poison had affected her pretty bad where she would be sleeping for another ten hours or so. Genroku picked her up and took her inside her old home and placed her in her room where she would stay. He looked at her and smiled. Soon, soon he would have his way with her. With that he left her to awaken on her own. He would call for her later.

The demoness woke about ten hours later, around sun down. Her grey eyes fluttered open as her whole body ached. She whimpered as she felt the pain flow through her body. Nara looked around and noticed that she was in a place that was very familiar, yet it wasn't. Slowly, she sat up and looked around. Her eyes widened as she realized that this was her room when she was a child. A hand went to her mouth as she came to know that she was no longer with her new mate. Tears threatened to fall as she sat in her bed. No, she couldn't show emotion. It was something that her mate would never do and so she couldn't either. 'I mustn't cry no matter what happens.'

A soft knock was heard at her door before the door opened as she looked to see a servant girl bowing at her. Nara nodded her head and the girl came closer. Her eyes showing fear as she stopped close to the bed. "You have been summoned by the Lord of the land, Lady." the small girl said, her voice shaky as she didn't want to upset the rightful heir.

Nara only nodded and stood up. Her whole body screaming in pain as she moved with the help of the servant girl. The demoness wanted to thank her, but her voice had failed. It was no longer there. So, the two traveled to Nara's old parent's room. All of this was weird to her because the last time she walked these halls was when she was young and her little brother was toddling at her side. For a small second, sadness was shown on her face as they stopped at the door. The moment was broken as Nara heard the evil voice calling her in. With that, she walked in with the help of the servant.

"Ahh, Nara. Welcome back to where you belong and not with the Lord Of The West."

If Nara were bold, she would have growled at the comment. Her loyalty to her mate was very strong as that bond became stronger.

"I hope you enjoy your stay here as you shall be my mate." he said, coming closer to her.

Her eyes narrowed some as he came near her and almost smirked. It was when he got real close did he smell Sesshoumaru on her. It wasn't just a little either, it was a strong scent like that of a mate's. A growl came from him as he backed away, glaring at her. The servant girl trying to speak, but was silenced by his glare.

"So, he has indeed acquired a mate. No matter, I still shall have an heir." he said, coming closer again. Nara taking a small step back as she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

"S-sir. S-sir."

"What!" he snarled as he looked at the servant girl.

"The Lady, there is something different about her."

"Yes, she already has a mate."

"No, she has what you are looking for?"

"Nori, I know that you aren't to bright, but what are you talking about?" he asked, looking at her. He wanted an explanation and now.

"My insight tells me that she shall give birth."

His eyes widened, he knew that Nori's powers were that of a seerers. Which was one of the reason's he kept her around. So, when her words departed her lips, he blinked a few times on what that might mean. Genroku then waited for her to explain.

"I sense that she has already conceived a child. Although, I might be wrong about it. Still, this feeling that I am getting is pretty strong. I suggest letting her rest for a few days before trying anything, Mi'Lord." she said, bowing her head.

"Hmm, perhaps it will be mine. But since they have mated it might be his. NO! I refused to think that. She will bear me my child." he said, ushering for them to all leave him be. Genroku didn't want to think of her being with Sesshoumaru. He couldn't, for in his mind, he was the mate.

Nori then lead Nara back to her room. The servant wondering why the demoness hadn't said anything at all. With all that was happening, she thought that Nara would have said atleast one word. Nori found it odd, but said nothing about as she looked to Nara who looked deep in thought. Once back to the room, Nara sat on the bed and placed a hand on her stomach as she could now feel the bond growing. Her eyes looked to Nori for an answer. The servant girl just nodded as if to say that yes, she was going to bare a child. Sorrow filled Nara as she knew that Sesshoumaru wouldn't be to happy about this or anything that was happening.

'Forgive me, my lord, I didn't know that this would happen. But please, if I ever see you again. Don't harm this child.'

End Chaper...
