Chapter 14- Dark Schemes
"Lana's home!" shouted a very joyous Rin. The child ran pass Sesshomaru who was in front of Lana and embraced her. "Rin has missed you!"
Lana smiled. "I've missed you too Rin." she handed her the bear that she bought. "I've got something for you."
"Wow! It's so big! Thank you! Rin loves it!" she said.
"Your welcome." Lana said as she heard a low growl come from the demon lord ahead of her.
His eyes narrowed at her. "We must have a talk. Now" he said sternly.
Lana returned his glare. "Fine!" she spat. "Rin, why don't you go and put your new bear in your room for now." she said sweetly.
Rin nodded. "Ok!" She then ran to her room.
They had been in their room for almost an hour with not a word spoken. Lana sat patiently on the bed while Sesshomaru simply stood next to the window and gazed at the night sky. When Lana did try to break the silence, he quickly hushed her by saying: "It would be in your best interest to be silent as of now until you are spoken to." His comment was followed by her muttered cursing.
Lana sighed and made a quick glance at him. His face seemed to be calm, but she could tell that this next quarrel would be all but calm. She would not be spoken to as if she were a child! Well, maybe compared to his age she was but she was still a young adult nonetheless. Not being able to take the silence anymore, she spoke.
"Sesshomaru. I'm sorry alright. I—
His head turned abruptly. "Sorry!?" he snarled at her. "You were to return home at sundown! You deliberately defied me!"
Lana stood up off the bed angrily. "Stop it right there mister!" she yelled as she walked up to him pointing her finger at him. "You may be decades older than me, but that doesn't give you the right to chastize me like I'm a child!" she halted right before him looking him dead in the eyes. "I will not submit to your primal ways here in this era!" Lana gasped as she knew she had not meant to say that.
Sesshomaru wrinkled his nose. "What is that suppose to mean?"
Lana didn't answer him.
He growled angrily in annoyance. "Answer me!" he yelled, grabbing her upper arms tightly. His claws slightly pricking her skin.
"Get off me!" she shouted trying to jerk out of his grip. "I don't have to answer to ANYTHING you say! Or do what you want me to!" He back handed her roughly. The blow was painful due to the fact she was still human. 'He hit me?' she thought shocked, blinking several times in disbelief.
Sesshomaru simply looked at her now reddened face. "Bitch. You forget who's your mate. I am your mate! You belong to ME and you WILL obey me! Because as your mate I am your master!" he yelled angrily.
Lana turned into her demon form. "Grrr. You'll regret EVER laying your fucking hands on me!" she shouted as she lunged at him, punching him in the face.
He, however, grabbed her wrist and the next thing she knew, Sesshomaru had Lana pinned up against the wall and himself. Both of her wrists were held tightly in his hands, so that it was pointless for her to struggle free although that did not stop her.
"Let go or I SWEAR I will make sure you wake up tomorrow morning castrated!" she screamed, flexing her wrists around to get free.
"See how easily I can over power you! I told you before, you are strong, the strongest female demon I know, I grant you that, however, you are no match for me." he said huskily, leaning his head towards her neck and began to run his tongue along it.
Lana froze and she stared at him wide-eyed. "Wha-what do you think you're doing!" she half screamed half whimpered.
She felt him smirk against her skin. "I'm showing you just how much you will submit to me." he murmured against her throat. He pushed his hardened member against her.
"No! You must be out of your fucking mind if you think I would let you fuck me now!" she yelled and continued to try and fight him off. She gasped when he suddenly roughly grabbed her face and held it still, silencing her in both fear and shock.
His face came only a breath away from her's. "How foolish you are. Let me? You will not LET me do anything because it is I who will have you whenever I well please." he whispered, grabbing her body and tossing her onto the bed. She didn't have time to keep him off. With his demon speed, he was on top of her in a millisecond.
"Stop it!" Lana struggled. His mouth began to ravage her body as his hands began to tear at her clothes. "I swear I'll kill you!" But he continued his assault. Finally, as a last attempt, Lana tested his honor. "I don't want this! If you do this it will be rape!" She felt him stiffen. Sesshomaru rose his head to look at Lana. His eyes held his anger as well as desire for her. "Would you really rape me? Your mate? What about your so called honor as a higher breed of demon, a demon lord at that!"
He made deep, and dangerous growl that Lana could feel vibrating in his chest. She was afraid as to what he would do. All she could read from him was the emotions she saw through his eyes. "How very clever you are, my dear Lana." he said calmly, a slight smile forming on his face. He took his index finger and tapped her on the nose. That calm mask soon gave way to his real expression. That of a an angry frown and furrowed eyebrows. "However my dear, your cleverness will not protect you for long." he whispered gruffly as he rose off of her.
She watched him walk towards the door. As Sesshomaru was two steps away from the door he spoke again. "I will have my heir very soon Lana." he said and left.
Lana glared at the door as he closed it behind him. "Hmmph!" she turned her face and smirked. "That's what you think."
"And what brings you here my lord prince." said the very dark and grim voice of an even darker looking figure.
"I have come to ask for your assistance. I was told that only a character of your...craftiness and cunning way of thought could handle the one who is in my way." replied the voice of a young man. "You see, there is a female that I have just recently set my eyes on. However, she is to be mated, if she is not already, to another lord. Sesshomaru, lord of the Western Lands, is his name."
"So, you desire this female for yourself. However, it is well known that the lord of the west is a very formidable demon, quite dangerous if he is crossed. You want me to help you steal the girl away from him is that it, my lord prince?" said the dark voice.
The young man bowed his head and closed his eyes. "Yes. That is precisely what I am asking of you."
"Kukukuku. You know, your father would sooner meet the end of his reign if he knew of what you were planning. Prince Ifrit."
Prince Ifrit raised his head. "Yes, however, my father in his ill state has told me to seek a strong mate."
"Hmm. Is that the sole reason for your plan?" asked the dark voice.
The prince gulped. "No. I have only spent a few moments with the girl, however, from what she told me about the circumstances of her courtship with the lord of the west, I can tell she does not wish to be with him. She was trapped into being his. I only wish to free such beauty and give it what it deserves." was his answer. "Her beauty and strength compels me to rescue her. I think it true what they say...for I fell in love with her at first sight."
"Kukukukuku. Well, you should know then that you are not alone in such a devious plan." the dark figure chuckled once more. "Lady Shiva also desires someone. The very one who keeps you from whom you desire." The figure stepped out into a more illuminated area. His white baboon fur grazed the grass lightly as he proceeded forward. "Lady Shiva has granted me a jewel shard for my assistance. What shall be your payment?"
Prince Ifrit reached for a pouch at the side of his hip. He took it off and tossed it to the grim being. "This should be good enough. And for it I had better get a job well done."
The baboon cloaked man caught the pouch and opened it. "Quite impressive. Three sacred jewel shards. It appears we have a deal. Prince Ifrit we shall put our plan into action very soon." he bowed.
The prince narrowed his eyes. "Good. See to it that you do not inform Lady Shiva of our deal."
"Kukukuku. You have my, Naraku's word my prince."
"Then I shall give word when I wish to meet." said the prince as he turned to leave.
Naraku stared and the three shards in his hand. "And I shall do the same." An evil smile crossed his face and he disappeared.
Lana woke up alone. Just how she would have preferred it. The sun was beaming through the windows. She remembered that the summer weather was almost over. She wanted to get a decent tan before it was completely over.
Lana got a blanket and sun tan lotion and stepped out onto the balcony. 'Well at least no one can see me.' she thought.' After laying the blanket on the stone floor, Lana took off her night dress. Then, she took off her bra and laid down on the blanket. She spread a layer of lotion was spread on her evenly before she laid down on her stomach.
Her thoughts went back to Sesshomaru. He obviously wasn't just going to walk away and let her deny his rights as her mate. Sex and producing his heir was part of it and she understood that. She just felt that she was too young to have children. That and the fact that she simply didn't want to have 'his' children. Having a child with a man that she wanted to kill every time he spoke to her was not exactly in her plans for having a family. She kept telling herself that she had not an ounce of affection for him other than the slight attraction and feeling of pity towards him. That and the fact that he was awesome in bed. But she would never tell him that.
Lana turned over on her back and let sun tan her bare chest. She knew what the effects of having a child with him might do to her. It could only bring them closer together, since it couldn't drive them any farther apart. That was what she was afraid of. If she had his child would it cause her to like him? Maybe love him? Was that why he was so intent on taking her?
Lana was knocked out of her thoughts when a dark shadow blocked her sunlight. As she looked closely she saw that it was some type of creature. "What the hell?" she uttered as she rose on her elbows. It was a gigantic dragon. Its large wings spread wide and what looked like to be waves trailed behind its tail. "What the fuck?!" While she was staring at the beast that flew over the castle, its head bent down and it had appeared to be looking back at her. Lana's eyes went wide when she noticed that it was about to land close by. "Oh my god! What the hell was that!? S- Sesshomaru!" she ran grabbing her clothes and headed for the door.
"Lord Sesshomaru you have visitor." announced Jaken as he walked into his master's study. "Lord Leviathan is here to speak with you."
Sesshomaru stood up out of his chair. "Very well Jaken." He left his study and walked down the halls to his meeting room. As he entered he was greeted by the Lord of the East.
"Ah Lord Sesshomaru, your home is quite lovely." commented the other demon lord.
Sesshomaru bowed his head as he greeted Lord Leviathan. He sat down across from him on a cushioned pillow crossed legged. A small, low table was in front of him with two cups and a pitcher of wine placed on top.
Leviathan placed his hand on his chin. "How long has it been since our last meeting here? A few decades or years maybe?"he asked taking a sip of his wine.
They were soon interrupted by a hysterical Lana running down the halls towards the room. "Sesshomaru!" she shouted breathlessly. Her clothes were in disarray due to the fact that she practically put them on while on her way there.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at her. "And what is it that has you such anxiety that you would interrupt Lord Leviathan and myself?"
Lana was still catching her breath. "I was out of the balcony...and this huge dragon demon was flying over the castle! It looked like it was landing nearby!" She paused when she noticed the soft chuckling of the two lords. She growled. "And what the hell is so damn funny!?"
Lord Leviathan looked at Sesshomaru. "Ah yes Sesshomaru. I forgot to comment on how lovely your land was. Quite marvelous and such scenic areas..." he paused, turning his gaze on Lana. "Especially from a birds eye view. Such a wonderful and impressive site indeed." he grinned at her.
Lana's eyes went wide as a slight blush formed on her face. "T-That was you!?"
"Lord Leviathan is a dragon demon Lana. That, what you saw, was him in his true form." replied Sesshomaru.
"Forgive me if I have startled you my dear." Leviathan said as his grinned widened.
Lana was beyond embarrassed now. Her face was reddened and she nervously began to bite on her lip. "I'm sorry for interrupting you both. I was only worried. Nice to see you again Lord Leviathan." she mumbled as she turned and left the room.
Lord Leviathan turned and face Sesshomaru. "Such a lovely and innocent young girl Sesshomaru. Quite amusing as well." he chuckled once again drinking his wine.
Sesshomaru frowned a bit at first and then smirked. "My mate is far from innocent Leviathan. Her cleverness annoys me, yet it astonishes me simutaneously."
"Hmm? You have mated with her already?" asked the curious dragon lord.
Sesshomaru nodded. "Yes. The night of your little...gathering."
"Ah well congratulations Sesshomaru. Soon you will finally have an heir to your title." Leviathan rejoiced. "I noticed that she was in heat that night." he grinned slyly.
The corner on Sesshomaru's mouth twitched and he frowned once again. "Yes she was. How ever, there is no trace whatsoever of her being with child." he replied.
Leviathan's smile dropped somewhat. "Oh well, there will plenty of nights where you two will be able to try again." he continued grinning.
"There is a problem with that. You see, she has the tendency to...defy me." Sesshomaru paused turn towards the window as he heard the laughter of Rin outside. She was calling for Lana to come play some type of hiding game with her. "Just last night she refused to let me touch her. You know that I could have forced myself on her, even though it would be quite a struggle, but it is not how I wish for my child to be conceived. That I practically raped its mother to bed with me."
Leviathan nodded is understanding. "I see. Well there is always the mark." He looked up to see Sesshoamru's puzzled expression. "Well, if you marked her then all you have to do is touch her there. As her mate you have the power to arouse her at anytime and anyplace you choose. She won't be able to resist you. She would be on fire with desire for you." he said.
Sesshomaru closed his eyes and smirked. "I see. I thank you for your assistance Lord Leviathan."
"There is no need for your declaration of gratitude Sesshomaru." laughed the dragon lord.
Sesshoamru nodded as he took a quick sip of his wine. "So what is it that you have come here to speak with me of?" he asked.
Lord leviathan's facial expression became very serious. "Well you see, Sesshomaru, there are rumors stating that Lady Shiva and another lord, who's name has yet to be revealed, have met with the demon Naraku on business matters." His mouth formed into a frown. "I believe that they may be scheming to overthrow the other lords or some other sinister plot."
"So that wench dares to plot against the likes of the other demon lords? And this anonymous person as well? What a pair of audacious fools they are." Sesshomaru chuckled.
"But Naraku is along side them. And he has a plentiful collection of sacred jewel shards in his possession. He may be more formidable and dangerous than we recognize." stated Leviathan.
A smirk formed on Sesshomaru's face. "That half-breed. Never. I will handle my own, here, with my mate and home. I believe that you should do the same. We are the elite of our kind. Lady Shiva would never be so foolish as to cross me, regardless of her current differences with Lana. As for the nameless lord, I simply do not care as long as he too does not cross me." he replied.
Leviathan kept his serious expression. "I am not so calm as you are Sesshoamru. Naraku is quite cunning. He has been quite the popular nuisance to many powerful demons as of late." he said as he stood up. "All I am saying is that I think that we should be on the alert. I do not wish to see your new responsibilities at harms risk. Although I am quite sure Lady Lana may well hold her own in a fight, if she does become with child, then she would be left vulnerable." his voice held all his concern and worry.
"Rest assure Leviathan. I will NOT fail to protect my mate, future pups, or my home for that matter. Anyone who even dared to harm a single hair on my mate's head would drown in a pool of their own blood at my hands!." Sesshomaru said as a sudden surge of anger and worry overwhelmed him. Why was Leviathan so worried? No one would dare harm that which belonged to him! Let alone try! He was beginning to become annoyed with himself for also becoming worried.
Lord Leviathan nodded. "Yes. Forgive my implied doubts in you. There was never a thought in my mind that you would fail to protect your home. I simply felt that you should know the circumstances of events." he turned to face the door. "Now I must leave. My mate awaits my return so that we may make the necessary precautions and evaluate our potential enemies. Good day Lord Sesshomaru" he bowed.
A servant had escorted Lord Leviathan to the castle exit. Sesshomaru was doing further contemplating over the matters at hand. He felt a sudden need to be with his mate and he was more anxious to see if what Lord Leviathan had told him was true about arousing Lana. It was still early in the day. Maybe he should wait until later. He smirked to himself. Later did not mean after dusk for him.
"Whew! I'm pooped!" a very human Lana sighed breathlessly as she laid on the grass. "How about you Rin?" She looked over a found that the little girl was sound asleep. "I see you ran out of gas too." she laughed to herself. They had been playing all day. Their only break was to go eat lunch. Lana happily agreed to Rin's request to play due to the fact that she did no want to be in the castle with a irritated demon lord. Her so called mate would just have to be grumpy because he was not going to get any ass from her anytime soon.
Just then the wind blew rather swiftly and Lana threw herself onto Rin gently as to not wake her, but so that the wind would not succeed in waking her either. When it stopped, Lana rose off of Rin. 'What the hell was that?' she thought to herself.
She stiffened when she felt a warm yet almost hot hand touch her shoulder. "What the?" she went to turn around and was about to scream when saw who the hand belonged to until that same hand covered her mouth and muffled her cry.
"Sshh. Please be silent my dear Lana. I do not wish to attract any attention from your mate." said the familiar voice.
"Prince Ifrit!?" she gasped as his hand left her mouth. "What in the world are you doing here? Didn't you come to see Sesshomaru or something."
The young prince smiled at her. "No. I have come to see only you Lana. Strange though, I remember you as a demon, but you are human now. How strange." he said placing a hand on her cheek and caressing her face.
Lana blushed. "Well...um you see...I'm not all demon. I'm mostly though." she replied nervously. Her head tilted in confusion. "Why would you come to see me?" "I have come to tell you that I will soon set you free from your enslavement to that vile Lord Sesshomaru." he answered her.
"What?" Lana laughed. "What the hell are you talking about?" She stopped to think a moment. "Oh. Well, don't bother. It's not really worth getting yourself beat up over, or killed for that matter." she grinned at him.
Prince Ifrit was a bit bewildered by her grin. "Yes it is!" he said taking both of her hands in his own. "You are worth the risk Lana. I can't bear to see such a rare find such as yourself being miserable for the rest of your life."
Lana was shocked to say the least. "Wh-what is it that you're saying? Why are you saying all of this? I'm confused. Why would you even try something so stupid!" She gasped when he pulled her to him and embraced her. "Prince...Ifrit?"
"I have fallen in love with you Lana. And I have chosen to fight for you. Soon you will be free. Free to be with someone who treat you as you should. Not some cold, heartless beast!" He said as he held her tighter.
Lana had nothing to say. She had nothing to say because her brain was failing to comprehend what exactly was happening. 'Noooo! Not again!' she screamed to herself.
She felt him stiffen and he pulled away from her. "I must go now. He is coming for you now." he said and placed a kiss on Lana's lips. "Soon my love. Until then." and with that he was gone and 'he' had appeared.
"Lana?" said her mate.
Lana was in her own world at the moment. What in the hell is going on! Why is this stupid soap opera shit happening to me! This can't EVEN be real!
"Ahem!" Sesshomaru cleared his throat and called her again. "Lana did you not here me?"
She slowly turned to face him. "Huh? Oh Sesshomaru it's you." She noticed his irritated gaze as he looked her over. She sighed sadly and transformed into her demon form. "Happy now?"
"Actually I am pleased. Pleased that I did not have to tell you." he replied.
She rolled her eyes at him. And proceeded to pick up Rin but Sesshomaru got to her first.
"I shall place Rin in her chambers." he said cradling the child in his arms. "You should go to our chambers. There is something that I wish to give you." Sesshomaru then began to walk off to Rin's room.
Lana's jaw dropped. Was it her imagination or was he in a good mood? He even got her something? What was he planning? She stared at him suspiciously. "Ok." she said hesitantly.
She had begun to walk towards her bedchambers. Her thoughts were currently on Prince Ifrit. Why in the hell would he claim to fall in love with her!? What was it with these spoiled demon lords!? Did they all share the same brain or something? Sesshomaru would kill Prince Ifrit if he new what he had said to her. Literally. She couldn't tell him. But, what did Prince Ifrit mean by when he said he would "set me free"? Was he planning on trying to kill Sesshomaru!?
Lana opened the door and walked over to the bed still thinking to herself. Even though she and Sesshomaru weren't on the best of terms with each other, she didn't want him to die. He wasn't SO horrible to her. 'Right, like he could be killed that easily anyway.' she laughed to herself. Then she felt worried. Wouldn't Prince Ifrit know that Sesshomaru couldn't be taken out with ease? Perhaps he had an ally and together they created some type of diabolical scheme. 'Nah. No way. What in the world am I thinking.' she thought. If she only knew how close she was.
A few minutes later Sesshomaru entered the room with a small wooden case. He noticed Lana sitting on the edge of the bed and that she was in deep thought. "What are you thinking about?" he asked as he made his way towards her.
Lana looked up at him, just noticing his presence. "Oh...uh nothing important. At least I don't think so." she trailed off, looking at the case in his hands. "So what's on there?"
He smiled at her. "This..." he said while sitting on the bed next to her, very pleased that she no longer moved away from him, "is for you my dear." Sesshomaru opened the case and revealed a black velvet choker with a large clear diamond charm dangling from the center.
Lana's eyes went wide. It was beautiful. She normally wasn't a fan of a lot of jewelry, but this was gorgeous. "Um...wow. Sesshomaru...I don't...know what to say." she said in complete shock. "It's beautiful."
His expression softened as he realized that she had liked it. "You could say thank you." he chuckled softly.
"Oh. Thank you. But I cant...you didn't have to. Really." she said turning her head from him. Lana gasped when his hand cupped here chin and faced her back to him.
Sesshomaru leaned closer to her, gazing into her bright ice, grey eyes. "And why shouldn't I shower my mate with gifts? You are the most beautiful creature I have ever laid eyes on. In both your demon and human form. Such ornamental objects cannot even compare to your own beauty." He leaned even closer and kissed her briefly. "Now turn around so that I may put it on you." he told her as he pulled away from her soft lips.
Lana was dazed from the small kiss he gave her. She slowly turned her back to him and lifted her long wavy black hair. The red hue of her hair seemed to show even more because of the sun beaming through the large glass door windows that led to the balcony. She saw him arms come around her neck as he held the choker in his hand. She then felt the fabric touch her skin and the slight tightness as he finished clasping the piece of jewelry together.
Lana began to finger the large diamond on her neck when she felt Sesshomaru lean over her neck and whisper in her ear.
"Do you like it? Does it please you?" he whispered low and sensually, sending chills down her spine and causing a heat to rise in her lower body.
"Um. Yes it is beautiful. And again I just want to say thank you." Lana gulped. "No one besides my father ever gave me anything THIS nice before."
Sesshomaru was glad that she liked it. He lowered his face down to the crook in her neck and began to suck on her flesh. She stiffened and her breathing began to quicken. "Wh-what are you doing?" he heard her protest, but he continued to suck, lick, and kiss her neck. She tried to brush him off with her shoulders, but soon she felt limp when his moist and hot mouth came into contact with the mark he had given her. He smirked against her skin.
Lana looked down at him through the corner of her eye. What the hell just happened? She suddenly felt desire for him. It was like a wave almost, just hitting her all at once out of nowhere when he got to a spot on her neck. "Sesshomaru...what did you do?" she moaned as his hand came up and grabbed the base of her chin as raised her head up, never lifting his head up from her neck. His other hand cupped her breast and he began to pinch her nipple hard but gently. He smiled to himself when her back arched against his and another moan escaped her.
He slowly laid them both on the bed on their sides and moved from behind her to lay on top of her. With his hands he began to undress her. No cries or yells of protests came from her, only small gasps and moans. Sesshomaru skillfully began to undo his own clothing, careful not to remove himself from her neck, not just yet. He wanted her to beg for him before he let go.
Within moments they were both completely naked and he was already between her legs. Sesshomaru started to caress her all over her body. His hands roamed her thighs and breasts, gently and firmly, rubbing and caressing her soothingly. He then took a huge amount of her skin into his mouth and sucked hard causing her to arch her back up again and raise her hips unconsciously, right into his awaiting hardness.
He caught her buttocks before they came back down to the bed, and held them close to his enlarged and eager member. Finally, he released her neck and raised his head up to look at her. "Do you wish for me to stop now?" he said huskily.
Lana looked at him. Her face wash flushed. How in the hell did he do this? She couldn't have him stop now. Not when she craved for him so much at that very moment. She wrapped her arms around him, bringing his head down upon hers and crushed her lips on his. Sesshoamru wasted no time plunging his tongue into her warm, sweet tasting mouth. They kissed hungrily and deep before he lowered his hips and entered her swiftly.
Her lips still being locked onto his, Lana moaned with pleasure into his mouth as he began his pace. Sesshoamru's thrusts were long and hard, slow but deep. Lana's arms clung to his back and held him closer as she met him thrust for thrust. She hadn't minded his choice of pace because it was so pleasurable anyways. But she didn't know that Sesshomaru had decided to start off slow because he had not planned on leaving his bedchambers for the rest of the day. He was intent on making love to his mate all day and most off the night.
A powerful growl vibrated in Sesshoamru's chest as he felt her walls tightening around him. He moaned loudly and began to speed up his thrusts as he felt his release approaching. "Oh god Sesshomaru!" Lana cried out as he pounded into her. The sounds of their bodies and moans of pleasure were the only sounds heard in the room along with birds chirping outside.
With only a few more thrusts, Lana's release came and moaned loudly while digging her claws into his back but not drawing blood.. A few moments later, he too came, releasing his seed into her and then collapsing on top of her. His head landing between her neck. Their breathing was abnormal, as they were still coming back to themselves. The warm sun shone on their nude bodies as they laid there. Sesshomaru rose his head and met Lana's eyes. They stayed that way for several minutes before he dipped his head down to kiss her again. She fully returned his kiss, without reluctance.
Sesshomaru broke away from her. "I wish to take you again. Will you deny me?" he asked.
Lana stared at him, unsure of what her answer should be. She had never thought that "he" could make her feel so...so damn good. And he was so gentle. Even though he obviously had done something to her, he at least asked her if she wanted him to stop. Maybe he wasn't so bad. But she knew better than to just judge him based on his actions in bed. Her head slowly shook 'no' and she saw him smile at her and he leaned down and kissed her once more. They soon became engulfed in their heated passion.
Outside, far in the trees, a pair of angry red eyes looked at the two figures in their bedchamber. Prince Ifrit clenched his fists in anger as he watched the scene in envy. "Soon you will be mine Lana. And you, Lord of the West will fall and lose all that you have taken but have not earned." he smirked mischievously and disappeared from the western lands.

Chapter 14- Dark Schemes
"Lana's home!" shouted a very joyous Rin. The child ran pass Sesshomaru who was in front of Lana and embraced her. "Rin has missed you!"
Lana smiled. "I've missed you too Rin." she handed her the bear that she bought. "I've got something for you."
"Wow! It's so big! Thank you! Rin loves it!" she said.
"Your welcome." Lana said as she heard a low growl come from the demon lord ahead of her.
His eyes narrowed at her. "We must have a talk. Now" he said sternly.
Lana returned his glare. "Fine!" she spat. "Rin, why don't you go and put your new bear in your room for now." she said sweetly.
Rin nodded. "Ok!" She then ran to her room.
They had been in their room for almost an hour with not a word spoken. Lana sat patiently on the bed while Sesshomaru simply stood next to the window and gazed at the night sky. When Lana did try to break the silence, he quickly hushed her by saying: "It would be in your best interest to be silent as of now until you are spoken to." His comment was followed by her muttered cursing.
Lana sighed and made a quick glance at him. His face seemed to be calm, but she could tell that this next quarrel would be all but calm. She would not be spoken to as if she were a child! Well, maybe compared to his age she was but she was still a young adult nonetheless. Not being able to take the silence anymore, she spoke.
"Sesshomaru. I'm sorry alright. I—
His head turned abruptly. "Sorry!?" he snarled at her. "You were to return home at sundown! You deliberately defied me!"
Lana stood up off the bed angrily. "Stop it right there mister!" she yelled as she walked up to him pointing her finger at him. "You may be decades older than me, but that doesn't give you the right to chastize me like I'm a child!" she halted right before him looking him dead in the eyes. "I will not submit to your primal ways here in this era!" Lana gasped as she knew she had not meant to say that.
Sesshomaru wrinkled his nose. "What is that suppose to mean?"
Lana didn't answer him.
He growled angrily in annoyance. "Answer me!" he yelled, grabbing her upper arms tightly. His claws slightly pricking her skin.
"Get off me!" she shouted trying to jerk out of his grip. "I don't have to answer to ANYTHING you say! Or do what you want me to!" He back handed her roughly. The blow was painful due to the fact she was still human. 'He hit me?' she thought shocked, blinking several times in disbelief.
Sesshomaru simply looked at her now reddened face. "Bitch. You forget who's your mate. I am your mate! You belong to ME and you WILL obey me! Because as your mate I am your master!" he yelled angrily.
Lana turned into her demon form. "Grrr. You'll regret EVER laying your fucking hands on me!" she shouted as she lunged at him, punching him in the face.
He, however, grabbed her wrist and the next thing she knew, Sesshomaru had Lana pinned up against the wall and himself. Both of her wrists were held tightly in his hands, so that it was pointless for her to struggle free although that did not stop her.
"Let go or I SWEAR I will make sure you wake up tomorrow morning castrated!" she screamed, flexing her wrists around to get free.
"See how easily I can over power you! I told you before, you are strong, the strongest female demon I know, I grant you that, however, you are no match for me." he said huskily, leaning his head towards her neck and began to run his tongue along it.
Lana froze and she stared at him wide-eyed. "Wha-what do you think you're doing!" she half screamed half whimpered.
She felt him smirk against her skin. "I'm showing you just how much you will submit to me." he murmured against her throat. He pushed his hardened member against her.
"No! You must be out of your fucking mind if you think I would let you fuck me now!" she yelled and continued to try and fight him off. She gasped when he suddenly roughly grabbed her face and held it still, silencing her in both fear and shock.
His face came only a breath away from her's. "How foolish you are. Let me? You will not LET me do anything because it is I who will have you whenever I well please." he whispered, grabbing her body and tossing her onto the bed. She didn't have time to keep him off. With his demon speed, he was on top of her in a millisecond.
"Stop it!" Lana struggled. His mouth began to ravage her body as his hands began to tear at her clothes. "I swear I'll kill you!" But he continued his assault. Finally, as a last attempt, Lana tested his honor. "I don't want this! If you do this it will be rape!" She felt him stiffen. Sesshomaru rose his head to look at Lana. His eyes held his anger as well as desire for her. "Would you really rape me? Your mate? What about your so called honor as a higher breed of demon, a demon lord at that!"
He made deep, and dangerous growl that Lana could feel vibrating in his chest. She was afraid as to what he would do. All she could read from him was the emotions she saw through his eyes. "How very clever you are, my dear Lana." he said calmly, a slight smile forming on his face. He took his index finger and tapped her on the nose. That calm mask soon gave way to his real expression. That of a an angry frown and furrowed eyebrows. "However my dear, your cleverness will not protect you for long." he whispered gruffly as he rose off of her.
She watched him walk towards the door. As Sesshomaru was two steps away from the door he spoke again. "I will have my heir very soon Lana." he said and left.
Lana glared at the door as he closed it behind him. "Hmmph!" she turned her face and smirked. "That's what you think."
"And what brings you here my lord prince." said the very dark and grim voice of an even darker looking figure.
"I have come to ask for your assistance. I was told that only a character of your...craftiness and cunning way of thought could handle the one who is in my way." replied the voice of a young man. "You see, there is a female that I have just recently set my eyes on. However, she is to be mated, if she is not already, to another lord. Sesshomaru, lord of the Western Lands, is his name."
"So, you desire this female for yourself. However, it is well known that the lord of the west is a very formidable demon, quite dangerous if he is crossed. You want me to help you steal the girl away from him is that it, my lord prince?" said the dark voice.
The young man bowed his head and closed his eyes. "Yes. That is precisely what I am asking of you."
"Kukukuku. You know, your father would sooner meet the end of his reign if he knew of what you were planning. Prince Ifrit."
Prince Ifrit raised his head. "Yes, however, my father in his ill state has told me to seek a strong mate."
"Hmm. Is that the sole reason for your plan?" asked the dark voice.
The prince gulped. "No. I have only spent a few moments with the girl, however, from what she told me about the circumstances of her courtship with the lord of the west, I can tell she does not wish to be with him. She was trapped into being his. I only wish to free such beauty and give it what it deserves." was his answer. "Her beauty and strength compels me to rescue her. I think it true what they say...for I fell in love with her at first sight."
"Kukukukuku. Well, you should know then that you are not alone in such a devious plan." the dark figure chuckled once more. "Lady Shiva also desires someone. The very one who keeps you from whom you desire." The figure stepped out into a more illuminated area. His white baboon fur grazed the grass lightly as he proceeded forward. "Lady Shiva has granted me a jewel shard for my assistance. What shall be your payment?"
Prince Ifrit reached for a pouch at the side of his hip. He took it off and tossed it to the grim being. "This should be good enough. And for it I had better get a job well done."
The baboon cloaked man caught the pouch and opened it. "Quite impressive. Three sacred jewel shards. It appears we have a deal. Prince Ifrit we shall put our plan into action very soon." he bowed.
The prince narrowed his eyes. "Good. See to it that you do not inform Lady Shiva of our deal."
"Kukukuku. You have my, Naraku's word my prince."
"Then I shall give word when I wish to meet." said the prince as he turned to leave.
Naraku stared and the three shards in his hand. "And I shall do the same." An evil smile crossed his face and he disappeared.
Lana woke up alone. Just how she would have preferred it. The sun was beaming through the windows. She remembered that the summer weather was almost over. She wanted to get a decent tan before it was completely over.
Lana got a blanket and sun tan lotion and stepped out onto the balcony. 'Well at least no one can see me.' she thought.' After laying the blanket on the stone floor, Lana took off her night dress. Then, she took off her bra and laid down on the blanket. She spread a layer of lotion was spread on her evenly before she laid down on her stomach.
Her thoughts went back to Sesshomaru. He obviously wasn't just going to walk away and let her deny his rights as her mate. Sex and producing his heir was part of it and she understood that. She just felt that she was too young to have children. That and the fact that she simply didn't want to have 'his' children. Having a child with a man that she wanted to kill every time he spoke to her was not exactly in her plans for having a family. She kept telling herself that she had not an ounce of affection for him other than the slight attraction and feeling of pity towards him. That and the fact that he was awesome in bed. But she would never tell him that.
Lana turned over on her back and let sun tan her bare chest. She knew what the effects of having a child with him might do to her. It could only bring them closer together, since it couldn't drive them any farther apart. That was what she was afraid of. If she had his child would it cause her to like him? Maybe love him? Was that why he was so intent on taking her?
Lana was knocked out of her thoughts when a dark shadow blocked her sunlight. As she looked closely she saw that it was some type of creature. "What the hell?" she uttered as she rose on her elbows. It was a gigantic dragon. Its large wings spread wide and what looked like to be waves trailed behind its tail. "What the fuck?!" While she was staring at the beast that flew over the castle, its head bent down and it had appeared to be looking back at her. Lana's eyes went wide when she noticed that it was about to land close by. "Oh my god! What the hell was that!? S- Sesshomaru!" she ran grabbing her clothes and headed for the door.
"Lord Sesshomaru you have visitor." announced Jaken as he walked into his master's study. "Lord Leviathan is here to speak with you."
Sesshomaru stood up out of his chair. "Very well Jaken." He left his study and walked down the halls to his meeting room. As he entered he was greeted by the Lord of the East.
"Ah Lord Sesshomaru, your home is quite lovely." commented the other demon lord.
Sesshomaru bowed his head as he greeted Lord Leviathan. He sat down across from him on a cushioned pillow crossed legged. A small, low table was in front of him with two cups and a pitcher of wine placed on top.
Leviathan placed his hand on his chin. "How long has it been since our last meeting here? A few decades or years maybe?"he asked taking a sip of his wine.
They were soon interrupted by a hysterical Lana running down the halls towards the room. "Sesshomaru!" she shouted breathlessly. Her clothes were in disarray due to the fact that she practically put them on while on her way there.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at her. "And what is it that has you such anxiety that you would interrupt Lord Leviathan and myself?"
Lana was still catching her breath. "I was out of the balcony...and this huge dragon demon was flying over the castle! It looked like it was landing nearby!" She paused when she noticed the soft chuckling of the two lords. She growled. "And what the hell is so damn funny!?"
Lord Leviathan looked at Sesshomaru. "Ah yes Sesshomaru. I forgot to comment on how lovely your land was. Quite marvelous and such scenic areas..." he paused, turning his gaze on Lana. "Especially from a birds eye view. Such a wonderful and impressive site indeed." he grinned at her.
Lana's eyes went wide as a slight blush formed on her face. "T-That was you!?"
"Lord Leviathan is a dragon demon Lana. That, what you saw, was him in his true form." replied Sesshomaru.
"Forgive me if I have startled you my dear." Leviathan said as his grinned widened.
Lana was beyond embarrassed now. Her face was reddened and she nervously began to bite on her lip. "I'm sorry for interrupting you both. I was only worried. Nice to see you again Lord Leviathan." she mumbled as she turned and left the room.
Lord Leviathan turned and face Sesshomaru. "Such a lovely and innocent young girl Sesshomaru. Quite amusing as well." he chuckled once again drinking his wine.
Sesshomaru frowned a bit at first and then smirked. "My mate is far from innocent Leviathan. Her cleverness annoys me, yet it astonishes me simutaneously."
"Hmm? You have mated with her already?" asked the curious dragon lord.
Sesshomaru nodded. "Yes. The night of your little...gathering."
"Ah well congratulations Sesshomaru. Soon you will finally have an heir to your title." Leviathan rejoiced. "I noticed that she was in heat that night." he grinned slyly.
The corner on Sesshomaru's mouth twitched and he frowned once again. "Yes she was. How ever, there is no trace whatsoever of her being with child." he replied.
Leviathan's smile dropped somewhat. "Oh well, there will plenty of nights where you two will be able to try again." he continued grinning.
"There is a problem with that. You see, she has the tendency to...defy me." Sesshomaru paused turn towards the window as he heard the laughter of Rin outside. She was calling for Lana to come play some type of hiding game with her. "Just last night she refused to let me touch her. You know that I could have forced myself on her, even though it would be quite a struggle, but it is not how I wish for my child to be conceived. That I practically raped its mother to bed with me."
Leviathan nodded is understanding. "I see. Well there is always the mark." He looked up to see Sesshoamru's puzzled expression. "Well, if you marked her then all you have to do is touch her there. As her mate you have the power to arouse her at anytime and anyplace you choose. She won't be able to resist you. She would be on fire with desire for you." he said.
Sesshomaru closed his eyes and smirked. "I see. I thank you for your assistance Lord Leviathan."
"There is no need for your declaration of gratitude Sesshomaru." laughed the dragon lord.
Sesshoamru nodded as he took a quick sip of his wine. "So what is it that you have come here to speak with me of?" he asked.
Lord leviathan's facial expression became very serious. "Well you see, Sesshomaru, there are rumors stating that Lady Shiva and another lord, who's name has yet to be revealed, have met with the demon Naraku on business matters." His mouth formed into a frown. "I believe that they may be scheming to overthrow the other lords or some other sinister plot."
"So that wench dares to plot against the likes of the other demon lords? And this anonymous person as well? What a pair of audacious fools they are." Sesshomaru chuckled.
"But Naraku is along side them. And he has a plentiful collection of sacred jewel shards in his possession. He may be more formidable and dangerous than we recognize." stated Leviathan.
A smirk formed on Sesshomaru's face. "That half-breed. Never. I will handle my own, here, with my mate and home. I believe that you should do the same. We are the elite of our kind. Lady Shiva would never be so foolish as to cross me, regardless of her current differences with Lana. As for the nameless lord, I simply do not care as long as he too does not cross me." he replied.
Leviathan kept his serious expression. "I am not so calm as you are Sesshoamru. Naraku is quite cunning. He has been quite the popular nuisance to many powerful demons as of late." he said as he stood up. "All I am saying is that I think that we should be on the alert. I do not wish to see your new responsibilities at harms risk. Although I am quite sure Lady Lana may well hold her own in a fight, if she does become with child, then she would be left vulnerable." his voice held all his concern and worry.
"Rest assure Leviathan. I will NOT fail to protect my mate, future pups, or my home for that matter. Anyone who even dared to harm a single hair on my mate's head would drown in a pool of their own blood at my hands!." Sesshomaru said as a sudden surge of anger and worry overwhelmed him. Why was Leviathan so worried? No one would dare harm that which belonged to him! Let alone try! He was beginning to become annoyed with himself for also becoming worried.
Lord Leviathan nodded. "Yes. Forgive my implied doubts in you. There was never a thought in my mind that you would fail to protect your home. I simply felt that you should know the circumstances of events." he turned to face the door. "Now I must leave. My mate awaits my return so that we may make the necessary precautions and evaluate our potential enemies. Good day Lord Sesshomaru" he bowed.
A servant had escorted Lord Leviathan to the castle exit. Sesshomaru was doing further contemplating over the matters at hand. He felt a sudden need to be with his mate and he was more anxious to see if what Lord Leviathan had told him was true about arousing Lana. It was still early in the day. Maybe he should wait until later. He smirked to himself. Later did not mean after dusk for him.
"Whew! I'm pooped!" a very human Lana sighed breathlessly as she laid on the grass. "How about you Rin?" She looked over a found that the little girl was sound asleep. "I see you ran out of gas too." she laughed to herself. They had been playing all day. Their only break was to go eat lunch. Lana happily agreed to Rin's request to play due to the fact that she did no want to be in the castle with a irritated demon lord. Her so called mate would just have to be grumpy because he was not going to get any ass from her anytime soon.
Just then the wind blew rather swiftly and Lana threw herself onto Rin gently as to not wake her, but so that the wind would not succeed in waking her either. When it stopped, Lana rose off of Rin. 'What the hell was that?' she thought to herself.
She stiffened when she felt a warm yet almost hot hand touch her shoulder. "What the?" she went to turn around and was about to scream when saw who the hand belonged to until that same hand covered her mouth and muffled her cry.
"Sshh. Please be silent my dear Lana. I do not wish to attract any attention from your mate." said the familiar voice.
"Prince Ifrit!?" she gasped as his hand left her mouth. "What in the world are you doing here? Didn't you come to see Sesshomaru or something."
The young prince smiled at her. "No. I have come to see only you Lana. Strange though, I remember you as a demon, but you are human now. How strange." he said placing a hand on her cheek and caressing her face.
Lana blushed. "Well...um you see...I'm not all demon. I'm mostly though." she replied nervously. Her head tilted in confusion. "Why would you come to see me?" "I have come to tell you that I will soon set you free from your enslavement to that vile Lord Sesshomaru." he answered her.
"What?" Lana laughed. "What the hell are you talking about?" She stopped to think a moment. "Oh. Well, don't bother. It's not really worth getting yourself beat up over, or killed for that matter." she grinned at him.
Prince Ifrit was a bit bewildered by her grin. "Yes it is!" he said taking both of her hands in his own. "You are worth the risk Lana. I can't bear to see such a rare find such as yourself being miserable for the rest of your life."
Lana was shocked to say the least. "Wh-what is it that you're saying? Why are you saying all of this? I'm confused. Why would you even try something so stupid!" She gasped when he pulled her to him and embraced her. "Prince...Ifrit?"
"I have fallen in love with you Lana. And I have chosen to fight for you. Soon you will be free. Free to be with someone who treat you as you should. Not some cold, heartless beast!" He said as he held her tighter.
Lana had nothing to say. She had nothing to say because her brain was failing to comprehend what exactly was happening. 'Noooo! Not again!' she screamed to herself.
She felt him stiffen and he pulled away from her. "I must go now. He is coming for you now." he said and placed a kiss on Lana's lips. "Soon my love. Until then." and with that he was gone and 'he' had appeared.
"Lana?" said her mate.
Lana was in her own world at the moment. What in the hell is going on! Why is this stupid soap opera shit happening to me! This can't EVEN be real!
"Ahem!" Sesshomaru cleared his throat and called her again. "Lana did you not here me?"
She slowly turned to face him. "Huh? Oh Sesshomaru it's you." She noticed his irritated gaze as he looked her over. She sighed sadly and transformed into her demon form. "Happy now?"
"Actually I am pleased. Pleased that I did not have to tell you." he replied.
She rolled her eyes at him. And proceeded to pick up Rin but Sesshomaru got to her first.
"I shall place Rin in her chambers." he said cradling the child in his arms. "You should go to our chambers. There is something that I wish to give you." Sesshomaru then began to walk off to Rin's room.
Lana's jaw dropped. Was it her imagination or was he in a good mood? He even got her something? What was he planning? She stared at him suspiciously. "Ok." she said hesitantly.
She had begun to walk towards her bedchambers. Her thoughts were currently on Prince Ifrit. Why in the hell would he claim to fall in love with her!? What was it with these spoiled demon lords!? Did they all share the same brain or something? Sesshomaru would kill Prince Ifrit if he new what he had said to her. Literally. She couldn't tell him. But, what did Prince Ifrit mean by when he said he would "set me free"? Was he planning on trying to kill Sesshomaru!?
Lana opened the door and walked over to the bed still thinking to herself. Even though she and Sesshomaru weren't on the best of terms with each other, she didn't want him to die. He wasn't SO horrible to her. 'Right, like he could be killed that easily anyway.' she laughed to herself. Then she felt worried. Wouldn't Prince Ifrit know that Sesshomaru couldn't be taken out with ease? Perhaps he had an ally and together they created some type of diabolical scheme. 'Nah. No way. What in the world am I thinking.' she thought. If she only knew how close she was.
A few minutes later Sesshomaru entered the room with a small wooden case. He noticed Lana sitting on the edge of the bed and that she was in deep thought. "What are you thinking about?" he asked as he made his way towards her.
Lana looked up at him, just noticing his presence. "Oh...uh nothing important. At least I don't think so." she trailed off, looking at the case in his hands. "So what's on there?"
He smiled at her. "This..." he said while sitting on the bed next to her, very pleased that she no longer moved away from him, "is for you my dear." Sesshomaru opened the case and revealed a black velvet choker with a large clear diamond charm dangling from the center.
Lana's eyes went wide. It was beautiful. She normally wasn't a fan of a lot of jewelry, but this was gorgeous. "Um...wow. Sesshomaru...I don't...know what to say." she said in complete shock. "It's beautiful."
His expression softened as he realized that she had liked it. "You could say thank you." he chuckled softly.
"Oh. Thank you. But I cant...you didn't have to. Really." she said turning her head from him. Lana gasped when his hand cupped here chin and faced her back to him.
Sesshomaru leaned closer to her, gazing into her bright ice, grey eyes. "And why shouldn't I shower my mate with gifts? You are the most beautiful creature I have ever laid eyes on. In both your demon and human form. Such ornamental objects cannot even compare to your own beauty." He leaned even closer and kissed her briefly. "Now turn around so that I may put it on you." he told her as he pulled away from her soft lips.
Lana was dazed from the small kiss he gave her. She slowly turned her back to him and lifted her long wavy black hair. The red hue of her hair seemed to show even more because of the sun beaming through the large glass door windows that led to the balcony. She saw him arms come around her neck as he held the choker in his hand. She then felt the fabric touch her skin and the slight tightness as he finished clasping the piece of jewelry together.
Lana began to finger the large diamond on her neck when she felt Sesshomaru lean over her neck and whisper in her ear.
"Do you like it? Does it please you?" he whispered low and sensually, sending chills down her spine and causing a heat to rise in her lower body.
"Um. Yes it is beautiful. And again I just want to say thank you." Lana gulped. "No one besides my father ever gave me anything THIS nice before."
Sesshomaru was glad that she liked it. He lowered his face down to the crook in her neck and began to suck on her flesh. She stiffened and her breathing began to quicken. "Wh-what are you doing?" he heard her protest, but he continued to suck, lick, and kiss her neck. She tried to brush him off with her shoulders, but soon she felt limp when his moist and hot mouth came into contact with the mark he had given her. He smirked against her skin.
Lana looked down at him through the corner of her eye. What the hell just happened? She suddenly felt desire for him. It was like a wave almost, just hitting her all at once out of nowhere when he got to a spot on her neck. "Sesshomaru...what did you do?" she moaned as his hand came up and grabbed the base of her chin as raised her head up, never lifting his head up from her neck. His other hand cupped her breast and he began to pinch her nipple hard but gently. He smiled to himself when her back arched against his and another moan escaped her.
He slowly laid them both on the bed on their sides and moved from behind her to lay on top of her. With his hands he began to undress her. No cries or yells of protests came from her, only small gasps and moans. Sesshomaru skillfully began to undo his own clothing, careful not to remove himself from her neck, not just yet. He wanted her to beg for him before he let go.
Within moments they were both completely naked and he was already between her legs. Sesshomaru started to caress her all over her body. His hands roamed her thighs and breasts, gently and firmly, rubbing and caressing her soothingly. He then took a huge amount of her skin into his mouth and sucked hard causing her to arch her back up again and raise her hips unconsciously, right into his awaiting hardness.
He caught her buttocks before they came back down to the bed, and held them close to his enlarged and eager member. Finally, he released her neck and raised his head up to look at her. "Do you wish for me to stop now?" he said huskily.
Lana looked at him. Her face wash flushed. How in the hell did he do this? She couldn't have him stop now. Not when she craved for him so much at that very moment. She wrapped her arms around him, bringing his head down upon hers and crushed her lips on his. Sesshoamru wasted no time plunging his tongue into her warm, sweet tasting mouth. They kissed hungrily and deep before he lowered his hips and entered her swiftly.
Her lips still being locked onto his, Lana moaned with pleasure into his mouth as he began his pace. Sesshoamru's thrusts were long and hard, slow but deep. Lana's arms clung to his back and held him closer as she met him thrust for thrust. She hadn't minded his choice of pace because it was so pleasurable anyways. But she didn't know that Sesshomaru had decided to start off slow because he had not planned on leaving his bedchambers for the rest of the day. He was intent on making love to his mate all day and most off the night.
A powerful growl vibrated in Sesshoamru's chest as he felt her walls tightening around him. He moaned loudly and began to speed up his thrusts as he felt his release approaching. "Oh god Sesshomaru!" Lana cried out as he pounded into her. The sounds of their bodies and moans of pleasure were the only sounds heard in the room along with birds chirping outside.
With only a few more thrusts, Lana's release came and moaned loudly while digging her claws into his back but not drawing blood.. A few moments later, he too came, releasing his seed into her and then collapsing on top of her. His head landing between her neck. Their breathing was abnormal, as they were still coming back to themselves. The warm sun shone on their nude bodies as they laid there. Sesshomaru rose his head and met Lana's eyes. They stayed that way for several minutes before he dipped his head down to kiss her again. She fully returned his kiss, without reluctance.
Sesshomaru broke away from her. "I wish to take you again. Will you deny me?" he asked.
Lana stared at him, unsure of what her answer should be. She had never thought that "he" could make her feel so...so damn good. And he was so gentle. Even though he obviously had done something to her, he at least asked her if she wanted him to stop. Maybe he wasn't so bad. But she knew better than to just judge him based on his actions in bed. Her head slowly shook 'no' and she saw him smile at her and he leaned down and kissed her once more. They soon became engulfed in their heated passion.
Outside, far in the trees, a pair of angry red eyes looked at the two figures in their bedchamber. Prince Ifrit clenched his fists in anger as he watched the scene in envy. "Soon you will be mine Lana. And you, Lord of the West will fall and lose all that you have taken but have not earned." he smirked mischievously and disappeared from the western lands.
