Chapter 9
Sayuri's POV.
It felt so good to be with someone other then my family... Ukaran did something to me when I was with him... He brought something out in me that I never knew I had... He made me feel special... Alive.. Free... He made me feel like a woman... I sighed contentedly... I spent my first night away from home and didn't feel bad in the least... I loved the freedom and part of me didn't wish to ever go back... Daddy would be coming home in a few days, four to be exact... But once he got home, I wouldn't be able to see Ukaran for a while... That kind of scared me... I love being around him and I loved the way he made me feel... If only we could stay like this forever... I jumped as I suddenly felt hot tears streaming down my cheeks... Ukaran growled as he gently licked my tears away, causing my breath to catch in my throat and heat bloom all over my body...
" What is wrong, Sayuri?!" Ukaran growled worriedly.
" I just... My father is even more protective over me then the rest of my family is!" I cried agrivatedly, " If I go home now, we will not be able to see each other again until the ball!"
Ukaran growled low, the rumbling vibration meant to calm me down as he gently rubbed my back to ease the tension from my body...
" You can stay for a while if you wish... My cave is protected by an impenetrable barrier... No one will bother you here..." Ukaran whispered soothingly.
" Yes..." I sighed, tiredly, " I'd really like to stay here with you..."
Ukaran's POV.
I stared at Sayuri as she yawned and realizing that her eyelids were beginning to droop, tucked a silk sheet around her and closed my eyes as I laid down with her, happy and content... I never wanted her to leave... After she fell asleep, I took half of the blanket that she was laying on and tucked it around her so that she stayed warm... I was fine just laying beside her, so I just laid down the way I was and wrapped my arms around her... After the ball, I would make her mine, and keep her forever... No one would ever take her from me!
A few days later...
Kagome's POV...
The whole castle was in a state of panic when Jekotsu came back and told everyone that Sayuri was gone... I especially, was very upset and angry... I told her that she could go out by herself... Wasn't that enough?! Sesshomaru, Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, Kemae, Kagura and Rayuga would be back any day now! And she chooses to run off just before her sweet sixteen ball!
" She's been gone all night!" I yelled angrily, " We have to find her!"
" Find who?" A familiar voice said from behind me...
I turned around and boy did I wish I was somewhere else at that moment...
" Who are you looking for?" Sesshomaru asked.
" Oh boy... Uh... Well..." I said nervously...
I really didn't want to tell Sesshomaru right away because he can be very unreasonably when he gets angry...
" Uh... Well..." I began again and Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at me...
" Kagome... Where is Sayuri?" Sesshomaru growled worriedly.
I knew that he wasn't angry with me, but I still didn't like being growled at...
" She's... She's gone..." I said sadly...
