Life after Death.

Part two: Chapter one

As she hugged him the life drained away from her. The light in her eyes were fading. 'I can't see anymore…' She died in his arms……

……Ansonia woke up feeling a heavy weight on her chest. "I can't see anything." Looking around she realized that she was no longer at her apartment. She couldn't see anything around her, it was complete darkness. Slowly she tried to lift her self up, but the weight atop of her was too heavy. She reached to her chest to feel what the weight was. She felt the shape of a head, then the neck and then his broad shoulders. It moaned as her hands reached his back. 'There's someone on top of me!'

Startled she kicked him off, as he fell to the floor, she made a run for it. Even though it's dark and she can't see, she still runs. She hears a faint rugged breathing near her. Instantly two arms wrapped around her waist. "Don't scream." His voice was full of warning. He turned her to face him and all she saw of him were two dark purplish-brown eyes. They were looking intently at her and her body. "Perv." She whispered. At once she was pulled against him and she for the first time realized that he was naked!

"Perv? I can be one if you so desire it!" Her eyes flashed wide open as he ripped her clothes off. "No! Stop it! Stop…please!" He slowed his actions as he looked at her in the eye.

Why…stop?" She stared back at him and looked away.

"Because…because…I-" 'I don't know why.' Gently he picked her up and carried her back to what felt like a bed. Instinctively she panicked. 'He's going to rape me!' She started to pound her fists against his chest, but before she could cause any real harm, he grabbed her both of her wrists. "Don't even dare." Slowly he slid beside her and positioned himself comfortably right next to her. "Don't worry I won't hurt you. I don't bite…when I don't feel like it." With that said he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him. 'Yikes!' "Um…Who are you?"

She could now feel his breathing right at her ear. "I'm the demon Naraku, ruler of Hell." "Hell?!" "Yes." She quickly turned to face him. "Why am I here?" She could feel his manhood against her thigh, but she cared not. "Well…one: you're dead, naturally; and two: I want a young girl to be my bride. You are fortunate enough to have been chosen by me." "What's so special about me that you chose me?" He looked at her as if she was crazy. "What do you remember of your life?"

She looked at him and tried to recall her life. All she could remember was her name. "Only my name…why?" Naraku looked at her and spoke in a hushed voice. "You don't remember anything else?" "No. Only that my name was…Ansonia." "Ansonia." He silently whispered her name. "I was just wondering if the Passover took any affect on you and it has. It's only natural that you forget your past. Once it's forgotten you can be reborn once again, without any sufferance from the past life. That's all." From the look in his eyes she could tell that he was telling the truth. He leaned toward her and kissed her. It was short and sweet. "Now go to sleep. Tomorrow we can talk more if you want; after all we have all eternity to talk." Shortly there after he fell asleep and she snuggled closer to him. She felt that she could trust him, even though he was the ruler of Hell.

Ansonia woke up the next morning to the sound of birds chirping. She sat up expecting to see him beside her, but he was no where in sight to be found. Gradually she slipped out of the cover. On the opposite of her was a small clean cut chair and on it was a light purple kimono and on top of it was a note. She got up and went in the direction of it to read it. Written in an elegant penmanship, the note read:

Wear this kimono and come to me in the garden, where I'll be waiting.

-Naraku

Carefully she slipped the kimono on. It felt soft against her skin. It was just her size and it showed off her features quiet nicely. Once she had fixed her hair and washed her face she slipped past the bedroom door and headed for the garden. Even though she's never been here before she knew the way. Within a few minutes she was outside in the garden. The garden was lush and green. Every flower was in bloom and the scent of the air was sweet. She made her way to an opening in the middle. There Naraku sat in a chair and in front of him was a table and on the table were fruits with orange juice. "Morning, Ansonia. Come and have some breakfast." She gladly accepted the offer and sat down next to him.

They ate in silent till the food was gone. There was still a question in Ansonia's mind as she drank the last of her juice. "Last night you said that I'm your bride to be. Well how do you know that is true? I mean there could be others out there that you could fall in love with. What's so special about me? I'm only a dead mortal after all." Naraku had been anticipating this question even before she had asked it. What made her so special? He didn't know. He felt that she was the one to be with him for all of eternity. "I do not know what makes you so special. Yes, you're a dead mortal, but I feel a strong bond towards you, a bond that not even I can explain. There may be others out there as you've said, but only one has captured my attention and lust. That one is you, my dear Ansonia."

With that said he carefully leaned toward her and began caressing her cheek. He got closer and whispered in her ear. "As much as I want to take you here and now I'll wait till tomorrow after the ceremony. Then you'll be mine to take." She held her breathe as he very slowly caressed her ear with his tongue, making her heart skip several beats. He knew what he was doing to her yet he held back. If he took her now then what fun would there be left on the night of the ceremony? Rather reluctantly he withdrew from her now aroused body. "I have business to attend to for now, but feel free to explore if you wish. Till then I'll be off." Gently he lifted her face to his and kissed her on the lips leaving her panting for breath.

Once he had left she regained her normal state of thought. Yet she felt a sense of loss after he disappeared from her range of vision. What was this feeling that she now held for this man…no he was demon. What ever it was she liked the feeling and wanted to feel it once again, but she felt that it was not the appropriate time for it. In an attempt to clear her mind she decided to explore the place if it was to become her new home. Home…she still couldn't recall her past life to know what a home felt like. 'I'm sure I'll know soon.' She left the breakfast table and headed where the flowers were. As she got there se realized that the flowers were giving off a light. The lights were of several different colors, making the flowers look red, blue, yellow and every other color in the world.

The flowers felt soft as she touched it and its scent was the sweetest that she had spend. "If you wish you can pick them and take them back to your room, my lady." Ansonia turned in surprise as she saw who was behind her. It was a woman in her mid-twenties and she had a fan with her. "Forgive me if I have frightened you. It was not my intention." with graceful movements she bowed. "Oh! You don't have to bow to me. Please get up." "As you wish, my lady. I am your personal servant sent to you by Master Naraku. He has requested that I show you around the land if you wish it." "Yes, it would be greatly appreciated. What would your name be if I may inquire?" "Forgive me if I seem rude. My name is Kagura the Wind Sorceress."
