"You've mastered everything I've given you to master, Aki. You truly are the best killing machine." Death said. Aki's face was blank and it seemed more demon like than before. "Now, it's time to test your skills on someone in the real world. Hmm. How about Sesshoumaru?" Death asked. Aki growled.
"You said that you weren't going to hurt him." Aki said in an angry tone.
"Death makes no promises." Death said, Aki growled and her eyes turned a mix of blue and black.
"If you send me after him I swear I'll come back and get you." Aki growled again. Death turned on her and pinned her to the wall just like he had before when they first met, it had been two years since she had been like this.
"You will listen to me, I am your Master." Death whispered in her ear. Aki's eyes turned black and she jammed Death in between the ribs where his heart was supposed to be. "Gh!" Aki pulled her hand out and there was something in her hand, it was Death's heart.
"Just like you taught me, everything thing has a weakness, yours is this." Aki said, Death's heart moved, Aki noticed it was a dragon intertwined with a rose. Her eyes widened. "The symbol of…love?" Aki asked in astonishment.
"Yes, I was loved once just like you are now. Then I was forced to become Death, as you will be." Death said.
"What happens when I squeeze?" Aki asked with a malevolent grin. Death's eyes widened. She squeezed and Death crumpled to the ground, she heard the dragon shriek with pain. "It seems you're not as invincible as people seem to think." Aki squeezed and Death gasped in pain. Then she squeezed hard enough so that Death died, she threw the heart down and Death looked up at her.
"Have fun getting back to Sesshoumaru with out me." Death said. Aki looked down.
"It's not going to take much, I've studied all of what you've done…I'm confident that I can do it." Aki kicked him out of the way. Then she grabbed a piece of chalk and drew symbols on the ground. Then she muttered something and in a puff of smoke she was gone.
"She hasn't learned everything I taught her." Death said. "She doesn't finish the job." Aki appeared in the real world and looked around.
"It's great to be back." Aki muttered as she smiled for the first time in two years. "Now…how do I get back to Sesshoumaru?" Aki asked as she looked around. It was different but familiar at the same time, it was like a dream.
"You should really learn to finish your job." Death said, Aki growled and turned around it face him.
"And you should really learn to give up when I've already almost killed you!" Aki growled as her eyes turned black, she learn that to summon black fire you had to use it to save yourself, if you didn't then it's kill you in the most painful way possible. Slowly roasting you to death.
"Remember that I will come back for you, until then you're free to find and stay with Sesshoumaru, maybe even hone the skills I've taught you." Death said, then he disappeared. Aki growled and let the fire disappear.
"Damn Death." Aki muttered, she turned west and started running, she wanted to find Sesshoumaru BADLY. Soon she saw the new castle coming into view, it was bigger than the old one. "Wowie…" Aki said as she looked at the castle, she walked up to the doors.
"Who's there?" A guard asked, Aki looked over.
"Uh…Aki." She answered. The guards' eyes widened.
"Milady!" Aki raised an eyebrow in confusion. Then she remembered that Sesshoumaru had marked her and that they had been mates for two years. The doors opened and Aki walked in, her features were back to normal since she only looked more like a demon in the demon plane.
"He really did an awesome job on this place…I like it better than the old one." Aki said as she looked around. Then she saw Jaken walk by. "Jaken, where's Sesshoumaru?" Aki asked. Jaken looked over and bowed.
"He's in his chamber, Milady." Jaken answered. Aki looked around.
"Like I know where that is? Take me there idiot!" Aki growled. Jaken jumped and turned around so that he was going down an east hall.
"Here it is." Jaken said. Aki knocked uncertainly, it had been two years before she was back and she didn't know how much Sesshoumaru had changed.
"Who is it?" he asked.
"Uh…me!" Aki said, the door opened and Aki was face to face with Sesshoumaru.
"Aki!" Sesshoumaru hugged Aki and gave her a passionate kiss that she gladly returned. "I didn't think you were ever coming back!" Sesshoumaru said.
"I just couldn't stay away." Aki said with a dramatic flourish that made Sesshoumaru smile. He hugged her close and Aki hugged him back.
"I'm not gonna let you get away from me again." Sesshoumaru muttered.
"You don't have to worry about that, I'm not going anywhere with out you." Aki said happily.
"So, what do you think of the new castle?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"It's huge! I'm gonna get lost in here! I snapped at Jaken for thinking I knew my way around here when I don't." Aki admitted.
"I'm surprised he's lived this long, he also gets on my nerves." Sesshoumaru added. Aki looked at Sesshoumaru.
"Name one person that Jaken can't get annoyed." Aki said.
"Rin."
"Oh! How is Rin anyways?" Aki asked, it had been so long since she had talked to any of then that she had forgotten about Rin.
"See for yourself, I'll take you to her room." Sesshoumaru and Aki walked down numerous halls. Soon they were in front of a door that was painted PASTEL PINK.
"Pink?" Aki asked.
"Her favorite color." Sesshoumaru explained. "Rin?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Lord Sesshoumaru!" Aki heard Rin yell and charge to the door to open it. "Eep! Aki!" Rin yelled, she tackled Aki how had long since prepared for the tackle, so she didn't fall down or anything. "Where have you been? I haven't seen you since that scary man in a hood came to the castle."
"I was…out doing something that needed to be done, but now I'm back and I'm here to stay." Aki added.
"Lord Sesshoumaru's been sad without you here." Rin said with a smile.
"I've missed you guys as well. It's only normal." Aki said, Sesshoumaru looked down the hall.
"I've got to go take care of something. I'll be back later, until then, Rin I entrust you to show Aki around." Sesshoumaru walked off down the hall.
"Hmm. Something's going on here that I don't know about." Aki muttered so only she could hear.
"C'mon Aki! I wanna show you some thing that Lord Sesshoumaru made for you!" Rin grabbed Aki's hand and Aki noticed how much bigger she had gotten, she was now above Aki's waist and she had started to 'blossom' if you know what I mean. Rin dragged Aki down so many halls that she was dizzy, once Rin stopped Aki straightened herself out and gasped. "Lord Sesshoumaru had this made for you, the castle was build around it." Rin explained.
"Wowie…" Aki muttered. There was a Dragon intertwined with a rose. It was carved from pure white marble and then she looked down at the base and there was herself and Sesshoumaru looking at each other with loving expressions. "Did he carve this himself?" Aki asked.
"No, but he had someone famous do it." Rin answered. Aki walked over to herself in the stone. It was an exact likeness of her.
"Wowie…I never thought a statue this big was possible in just two years." Aki muttered as she ran her fingers of the smooth surface, then she realized that it was living stone. "Living stone!" Aki asked out in surprise.
"Yes. It only took 6 months to make." Sesshoumaru said from behind.
"I've never seen such find craftsmen ship." Aki said.
"Made by the best."
"I can't believe that they did this in just 6 months!" Aki looked around the stone, there wasn't a single flaw in it. "Where'd such a pure stone come from?"
"That I promised my father I wouldn't tell."
"Ooh, I'm guessing that your father was saving it in a safe place for later use."
"Yes."
