Chapter 6. Mine and No One Else's
Sesshoumaru growled as he watched the wind sorceress take off with Korui. He wasn't done with her yet. He seethed his sward and walked back to the shrine just in time to watch the wolf run off in the same direction as Naraku's castle. He loathed the girl to the deepest pits of hell but couldn't help but be entranced by her. She was the first of the female gender to stand up to him besides Kagura and Kikyo.
The thing was, Kagura attacked him at order, afraid if she failed she would be killed. Kikyo didn't really bother with sanding up to him, she didn't really care for what he did. Korui defied him on her own free will and showed hardly no weakness when she did so. She had her own ambition and pride to defend as well as her life. She had the fiery spirit that melted his icy attitude. She brought out a side he never showed to anyone, breaking the wall he had built around her.
He had started to walk back to his castle to think things out. He was starting to fall for a girl he had hardly met. He never done that before, let alone a half demon. It made him want to spit just thinking about it. Hi hate for them was mainly because of his filthy half breed brother who he blamed for their fathers death as well as getting in his way of getting the tetsigia,
"Master Sesshoumaru, are you ok?" Rin asked running up to him. Her eyes held worry when she looked at him. She was clutching the staff of two heads to her chest with shaky hands.
"I'm fine Rin." He stated coolly before he started to walk off to his castle.
Rin followed after him. She looked back feeling like they had forgotten someone or something. She shrugged after a bit and realized she had fallen behind, she ran to catch up with Sesshoumaru.
A few minutes later Jaken stubbed out of the bushes, to see them in the distance and moving away from where he was. "Wait for me my lord. Don't leave me behind please!" He yelled and ran after them, tears running down his face.
-Naraku's Castle-
Korui had been placed on the floor of a small dark room. She was still unconscious from her ordeal with Sesshoumaru. Her arms had shackles around her wrists, the chains leading to the wall she was laying next to. Her cloths were in tatters and there was very little chance that they could be salvaged. Her hair had fallen out of their ties and locks of red and black hair lay askew around her.
Naraku was sitting in his chambers with Kanna's mirror. He had his hair held back a bit like he soimetimes did. He was in his blue and purple kimono with a simple pattern on it. He was observing Korui in Kanna's mirror. She had been brought there by Kagura and Kanna. She had been out cold for the past 24 hours. Kagura told him about the fight between Korui and Sesshoumaru.
He had met many half-demons but none like her. From what he heard from Kagura, the girl was able to change into her demon from at will. She also stood up the lord of the western lands, Sesshoumaru. He understood that it was rare for someone to do that and live.
He sat looking at the mirror deep in though stroking his lower lip lightly with his thumb. He smirked a bit as a plane sparked and burned greater in his mind. He had been watching Sesshoumaru as well and pieced together that he had taken interest in her. He knew that if Sesshoumaru did, then in a few days to a week he would want to court the girl and take her as his mate. He would test how much the dog demon had in her and then plan Sesshoumaru's undoing from there. He smirked and rose to his feet.
"Kagura." There was the sound of quick foot steps and Kagura rolled aside the door and knelt before him.
"Yes, my lord?"
"I want you to watch over our little guest. Make sure she is comfortable and doesn't cause too much trouble. I have some business to attend to."
Kagura nodded without looking at him. She stood up bowed slightly once more and left the room and slide the door shut behind her with a quiet click. Naraku picked up his Baboon pelt from next to his futon and put it on the hood hiding most of his face. He then headed off to pay Sesshoumaru a surprise visit.
Sesshoumaru was standing at a rivers edge looking to the sky. He was deep in though about the woman who had no fear in him. He never got her name and it was ebbing at the back of his mind driving him mad. He was never like this, having something bothering him so much. So why was a woman he hardly knew on his mind constantly? Had he gotten so hung up on getting his revenge on her or was it something else? Was he taking interest in her for other reasons? Even consider her as a mate?
He frowned a bit at the thought and looked to Rin who was splashing in the crystal blue water of the river. She was trying to catch fish while setting Jaken in a bad mood without meaning to. She had her Kimono rolled up to just above her knees. She giggled as she played. Sesshoumaru never really paid any attention to them while they were doing what they did.
He looked to the sky again. He could feel something approaching.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, look!" Rin said, smiling. She held up a few good sized river trout. "Me and master Jaken caught them!" Jaken grumbled as he rung out part of his robes. Sesshoumaru paid them no attention. His eyes were fixed on the Horizon.
"Rin, Jaken, stay here." He began to walk down the river. His Kimono rippled in the slight breeze that has started. A dark storm cloud, or what seemed like one, darkened a spot of the clear blue sky like a flaw in a precious gem, Sesshoumaru saw that it was moving faster then a normal cloud would. AS he watched it, the dark mass started to dissipate. Soon it was gone.
Naraku watched Sesshoumaru from across the river bank with a smile on his face. He stopped to the rivers bank.
"Why what a surprise running into you Sesshoumaru running into you, Sesshoumaru. I would have thought you would have thought you would be after your half brother."
Sesshoumaru turned to face him, his amber eyes flashing. He said nothing to reply to Naraku's comment.
Naraku smirked a bit. "Or looking for a certain other half demon..."
Sesshoumaru growled slightly, thinking that Naraku had been told about his run in with the woman. "I have no interest in half demons, especially not that pathetic woman!"
"Ah, I don't believe said a woman was involved..." He smiled a bit more. He drew out a mirror from under his pelt, and held it in front of him for Sesshoumaru to see. The sun bounced off its surface as it sank behind the mountains.
Sesshomaru lowered his eyes from Naraku's smug face to the mirror. Korui's dirt smudged face appeared in the mirror. "You mean her...the one who stood up a great lord like you."
Sesshoumaru placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. "What of her? I have no business with her besides killing her. She is no different then any other half breed who deserves to die."
"Oh come now Sesshoumaru, I know you have some sort of interest in her besides wanting to sharpen your claws on her back."
"None." Venom dripped from every letter. Naraku saw in Sesshoumaru's expression though it was covered quickly.
"You like her, don't you?"
Sesshoumaru didn't answer. Naraku smiled. "Well, it just so happens I have her at my castle and I am able to do as I please with her. Since you don't have any interest in her I'll just do what ever."
Sesshoumaru growled and drew his sword. He leapt at Naraku but he was gone before Sesshoumaru made it to him, his laughter echoing through the forest. "Damn you Naraku." He growled clinching his fist.
Korui stirred a bit slowly waking up. Every part of her body ached. She sat up her stomach muscles screaming her not to. Her head throbbed with pain and she clutched it slightly with her hand. The chains clinked as she moved. "What?" She pulled on them slightly. They had started to dig in her wrists earlier and started to bruise.
She looked around the room her eyes already adjusted to the darkness. Her senses started to sharpen and the strong smell of mildew entered her nose. She crinkled her nose in disgust. She slowly got to her feet dusting herself off. She couldn't figure out how she got there. The last thing she remembered was seeing the shrine from the air before the world went black. She started to tug on the chains again. She placed one foot on the wall and start to wiggle and tug with all her might. She soon had both her feet braced on the wall and she pulled hard on the chains.
Naraku opened the door to see her doing this and he chuckled. "Trying to escape now are we?" He entered the room and slid the door closed behind him. He had taken off his pelt as was now just wearing his kimono.
Korui looked over at him when he spoke losing her grip on the chains. Her feet slipped and she fell to the damp Tami mat floor. She let out a small groan of pain as dust rose up around her. Sweat beaded on her fore head from her efforts to break the links. "W-who are you? Why have you brought me here?"
Naraku walked next to her. "Because my dear, you are the key to my plans." he knelt down next to her. "You are going to help me bring down the lord of the westerns lands."
"What?"
"Yeah, that young demon lord you had a run in with a day or so ago. Quite a display you two put on."
"Why would you need me?" She started to get up but he pulled her down.
"Because he has taken a deal of interest in you. If I can get him to do what I want through you then I can start to destroy him first mentally then physically forever."
"Why would I help you? All you're going to do is use me and then toss me aside. Even though I do hate the guys guts I'm not about to let you use me. All the other guys did, use me then tossed me aside like yesterdays trash." She started to get up again but he pulled her back down. She frowned at him. "You are two full grown men deal with it on your own, don't drag me into it."
The corners of Naraku's mouth turned down slightly but soon he was smiling. His eyes looked her face over. She wasn't hard on the eyes but her face wasn't perfect. She had a little white scare on her light pink colored lips. It had faded over the years but was still slightly visible. Her lower lip had a pouty side to it. He eyes moved up to her nose. She had a metal object in her nose with a spherical object at the end of it. There where light freckles that ran across the bridge of her nose. His eye glanced up to hers, his soon caught by their color. They were miss matched, one a violate purple blue and the other an acid poison green. He pulled his eyes from hers back down to her lips. They were a pink of cherry blossoms in early spring. Her body was in peak condition. He could see why Sesshoumaru had taken a likening to her even though he wouldn't admit it.
Korui watched him. She saw that he was looking her over. "Well...? You still haven't answered me." She stated a bit loudly. Naraku looked up at her smiling, his eyes gleamed. Her heart started to beat faster unsure of what he was smiling about. His eyes fell down to her neck then her cellar bone which was exposed through the tatters of her cloths. A heavy silence fell in the room. She started to move back away from him adding a few more inches between them before her back hit the wall. He noticed her movement and grabbed her by the shoulders. She gasped in surprises he pulled her back towards him sinking his teeth into her collar bone.
Korui froze but she started to squirm as he sank his teeth in deeper causing pain to run through her upper body. She finally was able to push him away. He smirked, as the blood smudged on his lips. He licked it off and smiled. He had done his deed, making her his and no one else's.
"What the hell did you do that for!" She yelled holding her hand over the bite. He had bitten her and for no reason at all. She had no idea that he had marked her as his property and that no other male could touch her with out his consent. She stood up and looked his straight in the eyes.
Naraku stood as well. "I have my reasons." He started for the door.
"Let me go." She said pulling on the chains. He turned an looked at her.
"Very well..." He snapped his fingers and the chains fell to the ground with loud clanks. Korui rubbed her wrists where the shackles had dug in. He turned a left the room with out an other word leaving the door open. Korui looked out of the room up and down the hall way. She quietly walked down the hallway the wood cool under her bare feet. She didn't know where her shoes went but didn't really care, all she wanted to was to get out of this place. She walked through the door at the end of the hallway and found herself in the main room. She spotted the front door off the right.
"Bingo..." She walked to it quickly and slipped out of it. She ran through the yard quickly and leapt over the gate with out being seen. She touched the bite mark and growled. It had stopped bleeding but still hurt when she touched it. She swore she would get her revenge on him.
Kitsune: Well it shorter then I though it was...took forever to type up though...
Zero: Yeah, I know what you mean... R&R
