As soon as they were far enough away from the end of the forest, Waki sighed. She was going to suffer most likely for claiming that Seshomaru was to be her husband, but she didn't care. She just couldn't get away from there fast enough. Seshomaru looked at her. She appears to be lost in very deep thought. I wonder what shes thinking. Jaken stood behind them and just gaped. They are still holding hands, and neither one of them is trying to stop it. Seshomaru, what is the matter with you. Rin started to hum a tune. She liked watching them hold hands. And even if they weren't getting married, they liked each other. She could tell. Rin started to dream about having Seshomaru and Waki as parents.
That night Waki grabbed her bag and started to go through it. She nearly screamed when she saw the clean outfit for her. She stood up and started to pull her clothes off of her. Jaken yelled and Waki turned to look at him. She was confused. "What is wrong Jaken?" He looked at Seshomaru who almost seemed to be amused. "Stupid wench, why are you changing right here where everyone can see you?" Waki looked suprised then blushed. "I guess I'm used to changing in front of men that it didn't even phase me. I'm sorry Jaken." Waki ran behind a tree and started to change clothes. When she stepped out, Seshoumaru wasn't exactly sure he could speak anymore.
She stood in a light blue dress that seemed to fit her curves excellently. The bottom of the dress was very short in the front and got longer as it went to the back. Her soft purplish hair was down and the fire seemed to shine off it making the dress match her hair color perfectly. Her golden eyes were shining brightly. Rin was staring at her ears. They were long and pointy at the end. Waki giggled and twirled then walked over and began going through the bag once more. "Oh wow..father packed me my flute." Her eyes were brimmed with tears as she lifted it up to her lips and blew softly on it. A gently flowing note seemed to come out of nowhere.
Waki looked at Rin and smiled. She began playing a lively tune and started to dance around the fire. Rin jumped up laughing and joined her. Seshomaru turned his head away but watched from the corner of his eye. Jaken just stared some more. Eventually Rin and Waki ploped on the ground exhausted. Rin curled up into a ball and was asleep in minutes with a smile on her face.
Waki watched Jaken fall asleep and Seshomaru close his eyes. She wasen't sure if he was asleep but she didn't care. She stood up and began climbing up a cliff of rocks far enough away that Rin or Jaken couldn't be wakened. Seshomaru opened one eye and watched her disappear over the top of the cliff. Soon followed another one of Waki's songs. Unlike the first one, this one was slow and sad. It was soothing to the senses and gave his heart a little twist of sadness. Seshomaru stood up quietly and jumped up onto the cliff.
"Why do you play this sad tune Waki?" Seshomaru asked quietly. Waki looked at him suprised he had come after her. She knew he would be able to hear her song but she didn't think he would come with her. Waki sighed. "Listen well Seshomaru. This song has no name and can't be taught. It is something that one learns. As I'm sure you've figured out by now, this flute is no ordinary flute. This flute holds most of my powers." She turned and faced forward again and was quiet until she heard Seshomaru sit down behind her.
"It is true that I am Princess of Wakuja, the Fortress of the Strange demons. We are not a kind that you have heard of and thats the way it should be." She paused. "How did Tajeku come to have you and why is your kind so hidden and secret?" These were the things Seshomaru wanted to know. He felt something deep inside him crave for information about her. For some reason he wanted to know everything. She looked over her shoulder and gave him a smile. His insides twisted up. Seshomaru couldn't explain what was happening to him but he understood one thing very clearly. Now that he had met Waki, he was offically fucked.
Waki stretched and looked up at the moon. It's full tonight. "The only reason that idiot Tajeku got me was because I wasn't paying attention to him at the moment. I was to busy trying to run away."
FLASHBACK
I have to get away from this place. Theres no way I will stay here and be forced to marry that man. Waki ran through the forest not really paying attention to her surroundings. She just wanted to get away. Looking over her shoulder, she slowed down. Guess they won't be following me yet. Maybe they don't even know I'm gone yet. Sigh I doubt it, father is always having someone check on me every god damn five minutes. Well, they won't catch me this time. Her ear twitched the smallest bit and she twirled around coming face to face with five men. She screamed as one grabbed her around the mouth and the others grabbed her arms and legs.
Waki struggled, trying to get loose of the men. Finally, after the men had been walking a few minutes, she was dropped on the ground. She looked up into the ugliest eyes she had ever seen. Guess the eyes match the face. His face was scratched up badly like it had seen a few cats around. "Well well well. Look what I caught. A new slave for me. Tell me wench, what were you in such a rush for, hmm?" She winced as he let out a booming laugh. "What I was doing is none of you..." She flew backwards as he punched her in the face. "You will never speak. You will obey every order I give you. If you do that, I'll find a way to make your stay more pleasant." He ran a finger down her face then laughed again. "Lock her up in the carrage. No food or water for a few days. Get her nice and weak, then start to train her to obey me. If she disobeys, hit her with the whip." He did a hand motion and the men once again grabbed her and lifted her up. She was thrown into the carrage roughly. The last thing she heard was the mans laugh as she hit her head against the other side of the carrage and passed out.
END OF FLASHBACK
Seshomaru couldn't explain why he suddenly wished he was the one to have killed Tajeku. Waki stood up. "Seshomaru, you should get some sleep." Waki jumped off the cliff with Seshomaru in tow. Yawning, Waki watched Seshomaru go and sit beside Jaken again and close his eyes. She jolted as she realized that she almost wished she could sleep cuddled up to him. What the hell...Get ahold of yourself. Seshomaru has more important things to do then think of me like that. She sat down quickly next to Rin just to make sure her body didn't betray her and sit next to Seshomaru. Better get some sleep. She layed down and fell asleep instantly.
