Chapter 4
I stared down at the female in my arms, not willing to let her go just yet... My dark side, my inner demon, screamed at me to lay claim to her body, but she was fragile, like a human... She did not yet know her strength, if she even had any...
" What was it you said your name was?" I asked, but it came out as a growl...
" Uh... Sayuri..." Sayuri said worriedly.
Apparently she did not like the way I was staring at her...
" Sayuri!" A female voice suddenly called frantically, " Sayuri! Where are you!"
I began to growl possessively when I heard the other female call Sayuri's name, as if she owned her... It pissed him off and he had no idea why...
" I'll be there soon mama!" Sayuri yelled worriedly.
I growled at her again darkly...
" Please..." Sayuri said worriedly, " She's only my mama... I need to go home..."
" You'll never come back if I let you go..." I said growling, trying to hide my loneliness...
" I will... I swear I will.. just please!" Sayuri whispered fearfully, " I give you my word..."
" Alright..." I said, deciding to trust her, " But if your lying to me... You'll be sorry... My name is Ukaran, by the way..."
I released her then and she stood and offered a hand to me, which I quickly took and used to my advantage... For when she pulled me to my feet, I quickly pulled her to me and crushed my lips to hers... It was pure heaven... She tasted so sweet... I co barely breathe, my whole body sang with pleasure, just from that one simple kiss... After I broke the kiss, she blushed and stepped back, and for a moment, I thought that perhaps I'd gone too far... But Sayuri surprised me by giving me a sweet shy little smile before gently kissing my cheek in a quick kiss...
" Goodbye then... Ukaran..." Sayuri whispered blushing, " It was nice meeting you... I'll see you tomorrow, ok?!"
And then she was gone... The cold empty feeling I'd felt all these years, was slowly being replaced by her warm sweet presence in just a few short hours... Perhaps next time, our visit can be a bit longer... After Sayuri left, I hid my aura and quickly went to see my mother... Perhaps she could tell me what this strange I had was... It didn't take long, I reached my mother's cave, thanks to my demon speed by noon that day... She looked as lovely as ever in her deep bloodred silk kimono with a black obi and her long silky hair fanned out around her in silken waves... She'd been through so much... But she sacrificed even more for my sake... I remember when I had turned fifteen... That was the day she'd told me that my father had been murdered for no reason... It made my blood boil... How much my poor mother had cried that day because of having to relive through the heartache of losing her mate to that evil human priestess who hated her so... Since that day, I've trained under my mother's tutelage to be an assassin... A trained killer, all for the sake of getting revenge in honor of my father... And to ease my mother's pain...
" Ukaran!" Mother said happily, " My son... It's been so long since I've last seen you!"
I rolled my eyes, but hugged her non the less, I still loved her, even though she was a bit overbearing...
" Mother, I just visited you a mere two days ago, remember?" I said smirking.
Of course, my smirks never lasted very long, where my mother was concerned, for they always softened into a true smile... Only for her...
" Something troubles you?!" Mother said knowingly, " Tell me what it is, my son?"
" I... Met a female..." I sighed, " And she's... Very unique... She did not fear me like most others do... She offered to be my friend instead, when I threatened her..."
" Hmmm... That is very odd..." Mother sighed, a bit puzzled, " Perhaps you should think of a way to make her fear you... Then you can keep her if you so wish..."
" Thank you mother..." I said smiling darkly, " And I think I have just the perfect plan..."
I then left my mother's cave, thinking it over in my mind as to how to put my plan into action, so that I could threaten Sayuri so that she would be mine... Perhaps her family was the key...
