Sesshoumaru stopped walked and turned around, he didn't know how but he knew something wasn't right. He walked back in the direction of Aki's room.
"Where are you going Milord?" Jaken asked. Sesshoumaru looked down at the little green imp.
"To check on Aki." He answered, ever since the incident with Jaken before he had been wary to give him important jobs.
"I just came from there, Milord. She's fine." Jaken said, Sesshoumaru looked at him skeptically.
"If you, of all people, went to check on her, then something's DEFINATLY wrong." Sesshoumaru said. Jaken glared and Sesshoumaru found himself covered by flames.
"You will not go see her!" Jaken growled at him. Sesshoumaru grabbed Tokijin and Jaken was torn to shreds. After he put the flames on his clothes out he dashed for Aki's room. When he came in he saw her on the ground, unconscious.
"Dammit." Sesshoumaru growled, he lifted Aki off the ground and put her back on the bed, she didn't even move, he knew that she wasn't dead because she was breathing. "Aki. Aki wake up." Sesshoumaru said, Aki opened her eyes and she saw his worried one's looking down into hers. "Alright, first question, Aki or Nyx?"
"First answer, Aki."
"Second question, what happened?"
"Second answer, Death came while Nyx had control and my wound opened back up so I couldn't do anything, and then I passed out so I couldn't get back into bed." Aki explained.
"Ok, third question, why isn't Nyx in control?"
"Third answer, Death took her soul and now she's in hell again." Aki answered, before Sesshoumaru could ask another question Aki held up her hand. "Enough with the questions!"
"I'm done asking questions. Now let's see that wound." He added, Aki lifted her shirt up to reveal the wound, it was covered in blood, which was cold. "Don't go anything I'm going to get a rag and water so I can clean it."
"Yeah, I'm really gonna get up and start doing jumping jacks." Aki said sarcastically. Sesshoumaru smiled and Aki growled at him. He came out of the bathroom (I don't know what it's called so I'm calling it a bathroom) with a bowl of water and a rag. He wet the rag and clean Aki's stomach. By the time she was clean she was asleep.
"You sleep too much." Sesshoumaru muttered.
"Well, she does have a gaping hole through her stomach, she has to sleep to let it heal." Ceci said.
"I know, I was being sarcastic." Sesshoumaru said in a dull tone, Ceci's eyes went wide.
"When did you start using sarcasm?" Ceci asked.
"Never mind." He said as Aki opened her eyes and looked around. Then she looked at Sesshoumaru. Alertness was in her eyes. She sat up and looked out the window.
"Who is that?" Aki asked curiously. Sesshoumaru and Ceci looked to where she was pointing, it was Lord Tyr and Kouga. "That's not who I think it is, is it?" Aki asked with a slight groan.
"If you're thinking Lord Tyr and Kouga, then yes it is who you're thinking, though if you're not thinking of them, then no, it's not who you're thinking of." Ceci said. Aki and Sesshoumaru rolled their eyes and kept looking out the window, Aki noticed that each one looked like they had been through a lot.
"Hmm." Sesshoumaru said. Aki looked at them.
"It looks like they've just come from battle, but wouldn't a little of their troops be left?" Aki asked.
"I'm going to find out." Sesshoumaru said, Aki threw off the covers and started to get out of bed, Sesshoumaru put a hand to her chest to stop her from coming with him (NOT MEANT SICK MINDEDLY!). "No. You're going to stay here and stay in bed." He said. Aki rolled her eyes.
"Then go have someone lead them here, I want to know what's going on to! I have a right, after all, this has Death written all over it." Aki added, she heard Sesshoumaru sigh.
"Fine. Ceci, you know the way, show them to this room." Sesshoumaru said, Ceci started to protest but a growl from Aki got her to shut up. "Nice." Sesshoumaru said, Aki grinned and nodded her agreement. 5 minutes later Kouga and Tyr were shown into the room where Aki and Sesshoumaru were.
"Sesshoumaru, we need help." Tyr said, then he and Kouga noticed Aki, they drew their swords and took ready stances.
"Hey!" Aki growled. "I'm not here to do someone's work this time!" she added, Sesshoumaru growled a warning.
"Sheath your swords or else I will refuse to help you." Sesshoumaru growled, this had more effect than Aki's growl.
"What's she doing here?" Kouga asked, Aki rolled her eyes.
Not this again! She muttered to herself.
"Ok, first of all, I'm here because I want to be here. Second, I'm his mate so I kinda have to be here, and Thrid, I'm no longer controlled by Naraku since he's dead…though he's died…twice now." Aki explained in one breath. Kouga and Tyr blinked.
"Is that true?" Tyr asked. Sesshoumaru nodded. "Phew! I thought she was lying! Now since you mentioned someone by the name of Death what do you know?"
"Why?" Aki and Sesshoumaru asked in unison.
"That's who attacked us you idiots!" Kouga growled at them, both Aki and Sesshoumaru growled back at him. "Sorry." He muttered.
"Alright, it's Death, he supposedly immortal, but he's not. All you have to do is rip his heart out and kill the dragon, Rosaline, in Death's Mistress and she chooses who's next in line to become Death, well, at least to some extent." Aki explained, Kouga and Tyr soaked it up like sponges. Aki were swore that they had pours that were visible in their skin so that little fishes could swim through, oh wait, that wasn't her imagination, that was the fishes swimming in one ear, through their empty heads and out the other ear.
"Anything else?" Tyr asked expectantly, Aki and Sesshoumaru looked at each other, and then back at Kouga and Tyr.
"Nope!" they said in unison, Kouga and Tyr rolled their eyes and looked back at them, Kouga still had a grudge against Aki and it was starting to get on her nerves, every time she looked over to Kouga or in that direction in general Kouga would glare at her, finally she lost it.
"Will! You! Stop! Glaring! At! ME!" Aki growled, Kouga practically jumped out of his skin when she yelled. Kouga ignored her and looked away. "If you're not going to answer then get out before I MAKE you get out!" Aki growled at him, Kouga raised an eyebrow.
"Just how do you expect to do that when you're in bed, injured?" Kouga asked. Aki smiled.
"Like this!" throwing knives made of fire appeared in between her fingers, she threw them, Kouga JUST managed to avoid them, luckily they didn't burn the wall.
"HEY!" Kouga growled at her.
"Oh, here a question for you. Why are you in a woman's bedroom?" Kouga froze. "That got ya didn't it?" Aki asked.
"Unfortunately I've been outwitted, by a stupid demon." Kouga muttered.
"What was that?" she asked as more throwing knives appeared in her hands. Her eyebrow was twitching and suddenly Kouga felt stabbing heat in his arms and legs. "Bastard, get out of my room." Aki growled.
"Yes, you should get out of her room." Tyr agreed. Kouga rolled his eyes and left.
"Thank you, soon I was gonna kill him." Aki said. "Anyways why'd you finally say something after sitting there so quietly?"
"I don't want to see my son getting killed that's why. I also want to know how you know Death." Aki's face went grim.
"I'll keep that to myself thank you. I can tell you this though, this war started over 500 years ago." She said as she looked out the window, now wanting to meet his gaze.
"Aki, just tell him." Sesshoumaru said. Aki sighed. "Or would you rather have me explain it?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"That'd be better!" Aki said. He rolled his eyes.
"Apparently before Aki was created, her body already had a spirit, though the spirit didn't want to live again. Then Naraku came along and used Aki's body and created Aki. Before that though, Nyx, Death's lover was in her body." Sesshoumaru explained, the explanations went on for a about an hour before they heard Aki growl.
"Enough, if you're going to talk about it go some where else, just hearing it is making me mad." She growled at them.
"No, I think I got the idea." Tyr said. Aki ignored him and continued to look out the window. "Anyways I better turn in, it's getting late." He said as he left the room.
"You should get some rest as well."
"You're right, I should, but I'm not tired." She said. Sesshoumaru walked over and smacked her upside the head. "OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Aki growled as she rubbed the sore on her head.
"For being in a down mood that's what." Sesshoumaru answered, Aki glared at him. "Come with me." He said, as he held out his hand, Aki took it and he pulled her out of bed, then dragged her outside to some where she hadn't been before.
"Whoa…" she said as she looked around.
