Anyway, thank you all who reviewed and read the last chapter. Thank you to all who have read the story period. As I said before in the first chapter there are NO LEMONS in this story. Nothing happens! Lol. So please enjoy this chapter and I apologize for any spelling mistakes. : ) : )
Captive on the Run
Night fell across everything and no one was walking through the halls. There was silence everywhere except the thoughts that kept coming to mind about all the things that could happen. 'Come on Rika, you can do it! Sure lots of things could happen, but there's no reason to be afraid now. I mean, everyone has to lose their first time at some point, right?' The thought had crossed my mind more than once over the hours that passed.
"Fine, there's no turning back. It's all or nothing and I guess I'm going for all," I whispered to myself for confidence.
My eyes wandered to the clothes Cankai had brought over earlier in the day and I had gotten an idea. 'If I wear the clothes that he demands for me to wear, then maybe it will be a little more convincing that I would like to be with him. I loath the thought but at least it would give me a chance to get my sunglasses back!' Getting to my feet, I ran to the clothes that were neatly folded on the floor and changed into them. They were almost exactly like Sesshoumaru's only the flowers were blue. 'He's a guy, so why are there flowers on his clothing?' I stood in front of the door that led to Sesshoumaru's room and took a deep breath for more confidence. 'Alright, here goes everything!' Slowly opening the door, I peered into the room to make sure that he was in there. Sesshoumaru was sitting against the wall near his bed with his eyes closed. 'I wonder if he's asleep…' Suddenly his golden eyes opened, directly set on my face in the doorway. His eyes stood out in the darkness of night as they gazed at me.
"I will not take you for food, if that's what you desire. If you did wish for food then you should have gotten it when it was called," Sesshoumaru explained coldly, not removing his eyes from me.
'There's no chickening out now. He's staring straight at you and he's waiting her you to answer him!'
"I didn't come to ask for food, Sesshoumaru," I said with a small smile on my face.
Taking a step into his room, I slid the door shut and looked towards Sesshoumaru thoughtfully. He watched with intent eyes, trying to figure out what I was planning. I slowly walked towards him, my hips swaying back and forth with each step. 'So far, so good. I didn't know that I could be this girly.'
"Then what is it you desire?" Sesshoumaru asked, watching as I walked to be in front of him.
"You do want me, don't you?" I asked as seductively as I could.
Coming forward, I sat on Sesshoumaru's lap and rested my hands on his shoulders. My legs were on the side of his hips and Sesshoumaru started to think of what I wanted. 'Man I feel dirty for this. Do all those girls at school do this?' I felt his hands touch against my sides and he slowly pulled me close to him.
"I do want you," Sesshoumaru whispered before slowly getting to his feet.
He walked to the middle of his bed before sitting back down again. 'Now I just feel retarded for even giving this a chance to happen.'
Sesshoumaru pulled me against him, before taking my lips into a deep kiss. His tongue went into my mouth and I didn't cry out against him, I kissed him back. 'I need to prove that what I'm trying to do is real to him. I really hate having to do this at all, especially when it's with some jerk that I hate!' Sesshoumaru's hands slowly moved up my body to where the hoari was around my neck. When he started to pull down on it. I undid the ties on the back of his armor. It fell to his lap and then my hands traveled to his sash, which was where I was sure my glasses were. Sesshoumaru broke the kiss and rested his forehead against mine.
"You shouldn't be in a hurry to rush this," he whispered, pulling the hoari down to my waist.
This had shown my bra to him and then he took hold of my hands to stop me from untying his sash. 'Damn. Those glasses have to be around here somewhere. I'm positive that they're in his sash but he won't let go of me!'
"Why? Am I supposed to let you choose when to start? Is it one of those manly things?" I laughed with a small smile.
"I do not plan on claiming you on this night. Though, if you are able to take me farther than I am able to control myself, we shall see what becomes of you."
'He says it like it's a good thing. I'll just have to make sure nothing happens beyond his control. I don't really know how long I'll be able to keep myself this close to him.' I thought with some disgust.
"Then release my hands. It's not like it will change the amount of time it takes for you to claim me, right?" I wondered with a seductive smile on my face.
"Do you wish for me to use you when your emotions are confusing you? You lost Naka To, and now you seek comfort from the only other make you know in this castle," Sesshoumaru whispered to me, releasing my wrists slightly.
"I thought I told you, I didn't want Naka To. He was like a boy from home, the boy I wanted was Kai, but now I don't want him as much as I want you," I replied, leaning in slightly to touch his lips.
Sesshoumaru release my hands and placed his on my sides. Instead of him kissing my mouth, he slowly moved down my chin to my neck and started to suck on my flesh. 'Alright, now he's distracted and I can' search for my sunglasses and go home. Then I can see Kai again!' I slid my hand to the sash and then went around his waist in search of what I wanted. I felt Sesshoumaru nip my neck gently with his fang, as if warning me about something. Suddenly something hard touched between my legs and my immediate reaction was to jump off him. 'Ew, this is so wrong! I feel so sick right now!' Sesshoumaru pulled me down slightly onto him to calm himself down. 'Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, EW!' My right eye twitched with annoyance.
"I thought you didn't want to do that?" I asked with a small smile.
'This is so gross! I can't believe that I'm actually doing this!'
"I won't if you stop touching me back," Sesshoumaru whispered to me before moving lower to my collar bone.
'How does tat work? Wouldn't it be his touching me that makes him do that?' At that moment, I found my sunglasses in the front of his sash. Sesshoumaru pulled back when his bottom lips touched against my bra.
"What is this?" hi whispered, looking at it with his golden eyes.
"That would be my bra, but you don't need to do anything with it," I whispered, leaning my head forward.
'He wants to touch my… Oh god, he wants to see them. I have to find a way out of here before he decides he wants to do it.' I moved my hands to the floor beside me with my glasses in my hand.
"I'm tired now Sesshoumaru, would you let me go to bed?" I wondered innocently.
"Beg me."
"What?"
I was surprised to hear him say that. It was sort of expected but I didn't really see him wanting me to beg him. 'I hate this guy he's such a jerk! Hear that Sesshoumaru? I hate you!'
Looking at Sesshoumaru with soft eyes, I bent down to his face.
"Please Sesshoumaru, can I go to bed?"
"You can sleep here, with me next to you," he replied before pushing me off his lap.
Without protest, I was pushed onto my back and then was pinned underneath Sesshoumaru. His hands took hold of my wrist and then he realized that I was holding something. 'Shit! I'm so screwed now!'
"Sata gave you this idea, didn't she?" Sesshoumaru asked coldly, still looking at the sunglasses in my hand.
"What are you talking about?" I asked with a nervous voice.
Sesshoumaru's gaze fell onto my face. He could smell the emotions in my scent clearly now and he knew that I was covering it up.
"You came here to get those back. Only Sata could have given an idea such as seduction to you. She would be the only one foolish enough to try and hurt you," he said to me rather coldly.
'What? Hurt me?' I was slightly surprised that she would do that.
"What do you mean hurt me?"
"By giving you that idea, it was a hope that I would claim you, hurt you. It would be doing something you did not wish to do, so it would hurt you both mentally and physically," he explained, reaching up my arm to take the sunglasses back.
'That bitch! I should have known that she would have wanted this to happen to me. That's the last time I ever take any advice from anyone around here!' Before Sesshoumaru could grab the sunglasses from me, I pushed him off me and then rolled backwards to my feet.
"Thanks for the hospitality, but I'm going home!" I laughed as I ran into the room beside his.
Pulling up the hoari I was wearing, I grabbed my own clothes and ran out the door to the hallway. I didn't have my shoes to wear because I had taken them off before going into Sesshoumaru's room. 'I can't believe I did that! I'm such an idiot! Sata pretty much led me into that too!' With my sunglasses held tight in my hand, I ran as fast as I could towards the castle doors. 'Why isn't he running after me? Sesshoumaru isn't following me!' Bursting through the castle doors, stopped, seeing Cankai standing there staring towards the moon.
"Cankai," I whispered solemnly.
She turned around towards me and then smiled slightly.
"I see you've finally decided to wear the clothes that lord Sesshoumaru wished for you to wear," she laughed.
'How can she smile like that? If Haku ever died I'd probably cry for hours on end.'
"I didn't choose to. I'm going home. You could come too if you want, well if you can anyway…"
"No, it's alright. I've lived here since I was younger with Kai and he said that the greatest honor was to die where he lived. In your home, all the people are humans and I wouldn't belong there. Even now that you are half demon, you don't really belong there, but it was where you were born so you deserve to die there," Cankai explained, turning her attention back to the moon.
"You miss him," I whispered quietly.
She nodded and then sat down, pulling her legs to her chest.
"How could I not? I was born with him. Kai was about the only family I ever had. Both of my parents died when we were little and then when we were on our own, I used to blame him for it. If anyone else would say anything about us or him, I'd freak out and attack them. One time I got so mad at him that I guess I tried to kill him. That's when lord Sesshoumaru found us and took us in," Cankai whispered before tears slowly started to fall down her cheeks.
'That's what she meant when she said he couldn't die. It kind of reminds me of when dad died. Mom used to blame herself for it happening, but I knew it wasn't true.' I walked up to Cankai and stood beside her. Gazing up at the stars, I let a small smile slip.
"You know what Cankai? I'll be your sister. I know we aren't related at all, but I cans till become your family. As long as both of us are alive, we can always be family, right?" I wondered, looking down at her.
"Yeah," Cankai replied with a smile.
Suddenly the wind picked up and Cankai looked back with worry. 'The wind is picking, but there isn't a cloud in the sky. I wonder what's going on.' Cankai jumped to her feet and moved away from me with a few steps. At that moment I felt something coming toward me. 'What the?' I jumped to the side as fast as I could before Sesshoumaru had appeared and punched the ground.
"What did you do!" Cankai yelled at me.
"What, did you think he was just gunna let me up and leave?" I shouted back, taking another jump backwards.
Sesshoumaru lunged at me once again and I jumped to the left. 'Wow, he's really mad at me. Then again, what do I care? I'm almost home and all I have to do is get out of here!'
"You want to kill me now Sesshoumaru?" I asked him with a small smirk.
"Rika run! He'll kill you if he has the chance!" Cankai shouted with worry.
"Silence Cankai! This has nothing to do with you!" Sesshoumaru growled warningly.
"Don't threaten her Sesshoumaru! Your fight is over here and with me!" I growled back.
Sesshoumaru took to the air, floating a little above the ground. 'That's not fair! He can fly! It looks like he's just standing on air, but how is that possible?'
"Yeah that's right, follow the idiot!" I cried as I started to run towards the trees.
I ran as fast as I could towards the forest at the end of the long plains. 'This has to be the dumbest thing I have ever done. Sure I'm fast in baseball but I can't outrun Sesshoumaru. I can barely outrun Kai, let alone some guy flying after me!' Sesshoumaru was getting even closer as the moments passed. Looking back to see if he was still there, I ran into something and fell backwards. The action caused me to drop my clothes and sunglasses.
"What the?" I whispered, looking upward.
Everything froze as I saw who it was. Before me was Sesshoumaru standing in a perfect posture.
"You're running," he whispered with a small growl.
"So? What's your point? You live in your castle and Cankai chooses to live there too. I, on the other hand, have no use to live there as well."
I rolled backwards to get to my feet and then bolted towards the right. 'I have to get away from him. I need to get home before I go crazy from living here.' Once again Sesshoumaru rose to the air and followed after me. When he was close enough once again, I had ran into the trees and dove behind some bushes.
"A half breed, how amusing. I could use a chew toy before continuing," a suave man's voice came from behind me.
'Someone else is here too!'
I dove back through the bushes and then ran towards the north to get away from both Sesshoumaru and the stranger.
"Oh no you don't, you're my prey now!"
Upon coming to a small opening in the trees, I stopped about halfway through it.
"I'm so dead," I whispered, seeing Sesshoumaru standing on the other side of it and hearing the stranger behind me.
Sesshoumaru took a step forward to look at me better.
"So we meet again so soon lord Sesshoumaru," the suave demon said as they came out of the trees.
"Koga," he replied, giving the demon a small glare.
Koga came forward and I took a step towards Sesshoumaru. 'I would rather be Sesshoumaru's toy than that guys chew toy!'
"What are you afraid of half breed? Don't worry. I won't kill you right away. I'll give you the chance of becoming my mate before," Koga said with a grin on his face.
For those words, Koga received a growl from Sesshoumaru. 'Alright, so either way I'm screwed here! It's either be screwed for life or be screwed and die. I can't believe that I'd have to go with Sesshoumaru for this.'
"This woman has already been claimed. Lay one hand on her and I will kill you Koga," Sesshoumaru warned.
"You've had your mate already," Koga snapped back.
'What? I never knew anything about this. If he already has a female partner then why is he coming after me!'
My heart was pounding with panic as the voices of the two kept talking.
"Leave Haven out of this," Sesshoumaru growled, eyes becoming red.
Koga laughed slightly, shaking his head as he had done so.
"Your woman and cub are dead. You've had your chance to mate but it didn't work for you," the wolf mocked.
'They died?'
"Silence! Haven and our child may have died, but that woman was a whore."
Those words had shocked me. Sesshoumaru had called his old wife a whore without any remorse in his voice. 'How can he just say that about someone without a care?'
"Well then, it seems you have a trait for falling for whores. Once I'm done with this half breed, she will be a whore," Koga laughed.
"Both of you are bastards! You talk about women as if they can be owned by someone, as if they're property! Sesshoumaru… how can you call the person you fell in love with a whore for no reason? And you, you damn piece of wolf shit! You think you can just run around killing people after screwing them? You're both pieces of shit!" I burst out with anger, turning to them when I called them.
Koga could only stare with some disbelief before turning to walk away like a coward would.
"Whatever, I'm not gunna touch a woman who would try to rip me to pieces. By that aura, who would want to?"
With that, Koga was gone. Closing my eyes for a second, I could feel tears wanting to fall and then they did. I clenched my fists as I heard Sesshoumaru start taking steps towards me.
"Go away," I whispered before running to the left.
'I hate this place, I hate Sesshoumaru, and I hate that stupid wolf! I hate it all!'
"Why do you keep running?" his voice said from beside me.
I didn't answer, and then I was wrapped up by something fluffy and apparently strong. Everything stopped moving and all was silent besides the sound of crickets chirping.
Sesshoumaru landed on the ground and looked at me as I tried to get out of his fluffy thing. Tears continued to flow down my cheeks, but not from being afraid. The tears were from my pure hate towards Sesshoumaru and the damned wolf.
"Still you cry, why?" Sesshoumaru asked rather curiously.
"Get the hell away from me! Let me go!" I cried, trying to kick my feet only to fail horribly.
"Why do you cry?" he asked again.
"Because you hated her, just like you hate me! I don't want to be with you, but I bet that other woman did! All you could call her after she died was a whore!"
Sesshoumaru didn't answer for a minute and then the fluffy thing tightened around me.
"Haven had belonged to a male before me. When she was to carry my pup, she killed herself," he explained solemnly.
"She killed herself?" I whispered, stopping my struggles for a moment.
"Clouse had reminded me of her and then she also wished to die. They were both another demon's whore."
'Is that why he became so cold hearted? Is that why he was doing all those things to me?'
"If you wish to run, then run. Know that I shall be hunting you with every step," Sesshoumaru growled slightly, releasing me from his fluffy thing.
'I wouldn't really expect him to do this any other way.' Taking a small step backwards, I dared to test his words on letting me run away. Nothing happened until I actually turned to run. Sesshoumaru's footsteps were fast behind me, following my own.
'He's not trying to actually catch me right now. Otherwise I'd be pinned against a tree or something.' Sesshoumaru's footsteps stopped for a moment and my eyes glanced back to see if he was still there. 'He's gone…' Quickly gaining my focus, I saw Sesshoumaru standing ahead of me, facing my way. I jumped onto a tree branch about halfway up and then jumped forward high above the tree line.
"Wow, I didn't know I could jump this high!" I laughed slightly.
The fun had ended when I saw Sesshoumaru suddenly appear in front of me. This time he didn't just stand there, he came forward before I could blink and took hold of both my wrists. I could smell the scent I had earlier in the day and then the pain was seeping through my hands and lower arms. 'He's melting my skin with poison!' I thought with a wince to the pain. Everything started to become blurry and my stomach started turning. I jerked my hands out of his hold and jumped backwards be placing my feet on his chest. There was a village below and I was falling steadily towards the muddy rice fields. Sesshoumaru was coming towards me and I didn't know because I was half asleep from the poison.
"It's another demon!" a man's voice came from the village.
A dragon had appeared by destroying a hut from the inside and bursting out of the roof.
"Lord Sesshoumaru. I wouldn't have expected you to come so soon!" the dragon laughed.
Sesshoumaru froze in the air and he watched me fall into the water of the rice field.
"Well if it isn't the dragon, Nanashi," Sesshoumaru growled with annoyance.
"I plan to strip you of your power as a lord!" the dragon laughed again.
"I do not have time for an inferior demon."
'Why am I wet and on the ground? Wasn't I trying to get away from Sesshoumaru?' I wondered before sitting up out of the muddy water.
"Do not move demon!" a man shouted at me.
Opening my eyes slowly. I was a few torches at first and then the faces of a few men.
"What did I do? I'm not even a real demon!" I growled.
"Those markings under your garments prove otherwise," a younger woman said as she walked forward.
"I'm not here to hurt anyone! I'm trying to get away from him!" I cried, pointing towards Sesshoumaru.
"Lady Priestess, this wench fell from the sky after fighting with that other demon. She must be working for another demon to make her look so innocent," the same man accused.
'She's a priestess? Well that's a little obvious the was she dressed, since all the others are dressed differently…'
"Okay look, I don't change into anything else. I look like this alright? Now leave me alone!"
There was a loud growl from above and I looked up to see the dragon falling towards the ground. 'That can't be good.' Getting to my feet, I pushed all the men away and then grabbed the priestess before jumping out of the way.
"If you're smart, you'd run away. I wouldn't want to be blamed for that too," I growled quietly, letting her go before running toward the dragon.
Sesshoumaru had come down from his floating spot in the sky.
"You cannot defeat one at your current state," he said solemnly.
I wasn't sure if he was talking to me or if he was talking to the dragon.
Blood was coming from the dragon's chest and it didn't seem to be moving. 'Is it dead?' I asked myself with curiosity.
"Half breed, if you wish to flee, you better start running. As I said, I will continue hunting you," Sesshoumaru said as he lifted his left hand and pushed some hair behind his ear.
I looked at the dragon to see its features, since it was my first time ever seeing one. It was a dark red and had sharp claws that would rip anything apart. Even the back ones were sharp like the front. The dragon had a long tail that could knock anything away with it. It has spikes on its back and was huge compared to me. 'This thing is so cool!' Sesshoumaru turned towards me and in the background I saw the dragon's tail twitch slightly. 'That can't be good…' Before I could do anything, a green whip came from Sesshoumaru's hand and sliced the dragon in half.
"Damn you… Sesshoumaru!" the dragon cursed before fading like dust, leaving only its blood behind.
Taking that as a chance, I ran back into a forest that was on the other side of the rice fields. I had run for about half an hour before finally getting tired and wanting to sleep. 'I haven't seen or smelt him at all so far. Maybe if I'm lucky, he'll be too tired from fighting that dragon that he'll leave me alone.' Taking the hopeful thought literally, I closed my eyes and slowly started to drift off into sleep.
A few hours passed and it was still night out. It didn't take long for me to catch the familiar scent in the air to wake up. 'Is Sesshoumaru near by? Is that why I smell him?' Slowly, I opened my eyes to the darkness of night and the full moon hanging above the tree line. At first I couldn't see anything. That was until I could feel something touch against my collar bone. 'What the hell is that?' I looked down and saw silver hair on my chest.
"What the hell?" I cried with some surprise.
I picked up the silver haired thing by the head and saw that it was just a small bunny thing.
"Kyu!" it mewed happily.
"I hate you," I whispered with some annoyance.
'I can't believe that I thought it was Sesshoumaru. Aw man now I feel stupid!' I thought with a small smile.
"Kyu?" the small animal mewed again.
"Yeah, I don't hate you. No worries, little furry thing."
The trees started to move in the darkness and I let the small animal go. The rabbit thing wasn't very big. If I had been wearing my normal clothes, it could have fit in the large pocket halfway down my pant leg. 'I'm starting to like this little thing.' The small animal stared as someone walked forward out of the trees. 'Damn it, and here I thought I had run far enough.'
"You call that hunting? I'll take it more like sneaking around than hunting someone," I said quietly, turning my head towards the small animal.
"I'd say that I have done well hunting you. If only capturing you wasn't so easy," Sesshoumaru said with a small grin.
'He thinks I'm weak.' I got to my feet and the small rabbit thing growled at Sesshoumaru. 'I feel sorry for Sesshoumaru, for all that's happened to him. Too bad for him, I don't really like him.'
