I'll continue on with this story whether people want me to or not: ) : ) I am Canadian and proud to be an author of some sort! So yeah, please enjoy this chapter because it kind of has some Sesshoumaru Fox moments in it!
Something She Didn't Know
When morning came I woke up with a sore shoulder even though it had healed mostly over night. 'I can't believe I can't go outside today! It's not fair, even though I deserve it!' I thought with a sigh.
"I should get up. It's either that or Sesshoumaru comes up and drags me out of here," I groaned at the thought.
Sitting up I yawned and heard the rain pouring to the ground. 'I don't want to get up! I'm too tired for this!' Getting to my feet I looked around the room, seeing how bright it was outside through the clouds.
"Fox get out of bed! Lord Sesshoumaru demands your presence!" the servant who had taken me to the lord the previous night said opening my door.
"Just drag me down stairs! I don't want to get up!" I said with a tired yawn, sitting back down.
"Do not fool around at this time Fox! The lord is not pleased!"
"Yeah well I didn't do anything to make him upset, so just drag me downstairs and let me sleep the day away!" I said throwing my hands in the air and falling onto my back.
'I'm coming. No need to freak out!' I jumped from my back to my feet and walked to the door.
"What did you pull this time Fox?" one of the women maids asked with a mocking tone.
"Yeah, we heard you pulled another prank!" said another.
'What? The only thing I did last night was the bucket and Jaken falling down the stairs in the afternoon!'
"I even heard that it was meant for lady Reiku. True shame that master Jaken was to get it instead!"
Hearing everyone's gossip I ran down the stairs to the lord's chamber. 'I don't understand! I don't remember doing anything other than the bucket of water!' I opened the door and ran inside. There stood Sesshoumaru with Reiku at the other side of the chamber.
"Fox, do you not think that I will kill you for your troublemaking?" Sesshoumaru growled with anger that could only be imagined by one who's never seen it.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, honestly, I know this is hard to believe but I swear I didn't do it!" I replied trying to think of what could have happened.
At that moment there was a blur of white and I dodged out of the way without thinking. 'That was weird.' I thought a little more than surprised. There was a shock as the lord pushed me to the ground with his claw on my throat.
"I guess this would be the wrong time to ask what happened to Jaken right," I whispered with a small laugh.
"What?" Sesshoumaru whispered to me.
'Someone set me up! One of those other wretches did it to get me in trouble!'
"Don't be too hard on her lord Sesshoumaru! I'm sure she doesn't mean to upset you like so!" Reiku said with a gentle smile.
'Why is she sticking up for me?'
Sesshoumaru growled at me, hearing the lady's words.
"Be grateful towards her. If it was not for her, I would have to of punished you!"
"At least I didn't do anything to make you angry. As if I would do anything with her around, because then you'd kill me," I whispered with another chuckle.
My words had slightly surprised the lord, as if hearing something he had longed to hear. He got off me and turned away. 'I wonder what surprised him so much. Nothing surprises Sesshoumaru.' I shook my head and got to my feet.
"Thank you, lady Reiku for your gratitude. Though, one such as me does not deserve it!" I said with sarcasm in the second sentence.
I went to the corner of the chamber and sat down, crossing my arms. 'Stupid punishment. Those jerks are gunna pay for setting me up like that. Who would hate me enough to pull something on Reiku? Jaken would, but why would he walk into something he set up?' Again I shook my head. I knew Jaken was stupid but not so stupid to walk into his own prank.
"Damn it! It makes no sense to me!" I cried knocking my back against the wall.
The lady looked at me as if I was crazy for talking to myself.
"Is she going to be alright? I mean, does she always do that?" she whispered to Sesshoumaru.
"She'll be fine."
"It just doesn't make any sense! How could he be so stupid to fall into his own trap!" I cried again, only this time banging my fists on the floor.
The lord sighed, "Now I'm not so sure!"
A few hours had passed and I had fallen asleep. Sesshoumaru and Reiku had done nothing but talk about the wars between the four lands; north, east, south, and west. The lord had called for Jaken and the imp entered the chamber with a large goose egg on his head.
"Yes my lord?"
I had heard his annoying voice in my sleep and opened my eyes slightly. Seeing the goose egg on his head I burst out laughing.
"What the heck happened to you? Did you fall down the stairs again and break another vase?" I laughed at the imp.
"How dare you! This was your fault you troublemaker!" Jaken cried, pointing the staff at me.
"Ha, as if! I gave that up last night! So stop pointing that stupid wooden thing at me!"
Sesshoumaru turned to Jaken, annoyed by our constant bickering.
"Jaken, take lady Reiku and show her around the castle. I have something I need to tend to!" he said to make us be silent.
"Uh, oh yes my lord. Come my lady, allow me to show you around lord Sesshoumaru's castle!" the imp replied almost immediately.
'What a suck up!' I thought rolling my eyes as the two left the chamber.
Sesshoumaru turned to me when the chamber door was closed. 'Great, now what's going on?' I asked myself, allowing my red eyed to wander to the lord.
"So, it wasn't really you who pulled that thing on Jaken. Interesting, since that spot seemed to be filled with your scent," he said in a low voice while walking towards me.
"The only thing I pulled last night was the bucket of water that landed on your head. No more, no less!" I replied as I got to my feet and yawned.
I stretched my arms up above my head for a few seconds. In those few moments, Sesshoumaru had run behind me and wrapped his arms around me. My hands had dropped as soon as I felt him pull me against him. 'Why does he keep doing these things? Is he gunna dig his claws into me like he did last night?' I was about to say something, but then his mouth came close to my ear, moving the hair out of the way with his cheek.
"Don't try to run from me. If you do, I'll have to find a new way to punish you," Sesshoumaru whispered getting his arms comfortable around me.
"A new way to punish me? As if taking away my time outside isn't bad enough for me."
"There's more than one way to give punishment. Harm them, take away something, or do something that they've never felt before!"
My heart began to beat faster as I could feel Sesshoumaru's warm breath down my scarf. 'Am I getting afraid or is this something else?' I asked myself, confused by the speed of my heart.
"Um, uh, why… What's going on?" I asked him, not sure on what he was talking about anymore.
The lord laughed slightly, causing my heart to beat even faster.
"You're still trying to run from me. The scent of your fear is interesting," Sesshoumaru whispered as he reached up to my scarf with his one hand.
"As if I'm afraid of you," I said with another laugh.
I could feel him slowly pull the scarf off my neck and then his breath became warmer as he came closer to me. The lord's actions caused something to stir within me. 'What's happening?' Warmth started to come from between my legs and I felt like I was losing myself.
"So you're not afraid, your heart beats because you want me," Sesshoumaru whispered, wrapping his hand back around me.
'I shouldn't feel this way!' I thought trying to ignore what I was feeling.
"Let me go!" I cried as I lunged myself forward.
The lord's arms had slipped from their hold and I stumbled forward. Once I wasn't in his arms anymore, everything faded. 'Thank you mobility!' I smiled with a small laugh. Sesshoumaru ran at me and I had somehow dodged him. His hand quickly took hold of my wrist and turned me towards him.
"Running was not an option," Sesshoumaru said with a small growl.
'This won't be good. I did exactly what would dig me a deeper hole!' The lord took hold of my other wrist, making it so I couldn't get away.
"You will learn to behave Fox. This will be a lesson I'm sure you'll learn from!"
'Yeah, this definitely won't be good!' My legs were swept from under me. Instead of falling right over, it was like being placed on my back. Sesshoumaru was over me with his hands still on both my wrists. The lord used his legs to spread mine from one another and then placed one knee between them.
"Learn what I can make you feel, how I can make you feel unwillingly if you run from me again," he said in a low taunting voice.
He slowly moved his knee to my entrance and pushed against it slightly. I winced, not liking the feeling of warmth coming from there. Trying to move my arms to push him away only to lead to Sesshoumaru moving his face closer to mine. Before I could turn my head away his lips were pressed to mine and his tongue made its way into my mouth. 'I don't like this! If I struggle I only seem to make it worse!' A soft growl could be heard from the lord as his kiss continued to capture my mouth. I closed my eyes, trying to make the warmth disappear. Sesshoumaru's tongue touched my own as he pulled back for only a moment. I closed my mouth so when he kissed me again he couldn't capture me like he had. 'I can only take so much. These feelings that burn within me, I don't know what they are.' I thought as the lord tried to continue his actions.
The lord pulled his face away from me, knowing that I wasn't enjoying the closeness of our bodies. I opened my eyes to see his reaction of his denial. Sesshoumaru smirked and pressed his knee more against me.
"Do not push me Fox. My intensions aren't as strong as my desire. It would not be proper for a lord to claim your virgin body so abruptly!" he whispered into my ear.
'Does Sesshoumaru want me? Is that why he's been doing these things to me? Wait, if he wanted me, why would he harm me like last night?'
"Please, just let me leave. I won't go outside I'll lock myself in my room or clean the bathing rooms twice a week for a month," I whispered with fear in my voice.
"Have you learned not to run?" Sesshoumaru whispered softly in my ear.
I nodded my head just wanting to get away from him, to get away from what I was feeling. 'Like hell I've learned not to run!'
"Remember this. The next time I see you run from me, I won't be as forgiving."
The lord released my arms and stood up beside me. Slowly the warmth from my body vanished and my heart slowed to its normal pace. I got to my feet and took a few steps towards the door. Sesshoumaru's hand gently took hold of mine to stop me.
"Spend the day in your chamber. Don't come out unless you're sent for, and tomorrow you'll do as your punishment is!" he said quietly before letting go.
"Yes lord Sesshoumaru," I replied as I continued towards the doors.
'Those feelings that pounded through me, were they lust or love? I've never felt that way before and it bothers me.' I thought with a small sigh as I went into the hallways. The two maids from earlier walked by and then stopped to look at me.
"So, what'd you do that was meant for the lady?" one asked with her annoying voice.
"Did the lord punish you well for it?" asked the other acting snooty.
'Can't a person be left alone in this place once in a while?'
"Listen and listen well! I didn't do anything so why don't the both of you shut up… and leave me alone!" I growled with anger.
Both of them laughed with amusement towards my words.
"Now why would we do that? Seeing the troublemaker get her due is our highlight of the day!" the annoying one laughed again.
"Yeah, that and being a whore," I whispered so they couldn't hear.
'All she does is hit on Sesshoumaru and pretty much any other guy that walks by!' I thought while rolling my eyes with annoyance.
"Whatever, if I distinctly remember the last time I got punished I didn't just get to throw crap at Jaken. I'm pretty sure the both of you got more than one shovelful too!" I said with a grin on my face.
I turned to leave as they had angered faces. 'Eat that you damn whore!' I chuckled while walking away from them and towards the stairs.
A bucket of water was chucked at me and landed on my head.
"Hey Fox! Where's your scarf? Did your kind come and take it back to their village and leave you here?" shouted the snooty maid.
Hearing their words I looked at the ground and covered my eyes with my bangs. The two of them laughed evilly with amusement and revenge while they continued down the hallway. When they were gone I took the bucket off my head and threw it on the ground, 'They don't know what it's like to not know anything about the past, about your family. But being as I am, being different only seems to bring trouble my way. I guess being different, I'm the first one to be blamed, no one dares to trust me, and everything is always my fault.' I continued onto the stairs and to my chamber,
"What do they know," I whispered with sad eyes.
Making it up the stairs I saw Jaken and Reiku walking down the hallway towards me.
"Whose chamber is this?" Reiku asked as she pointed to my chamber.
"That's just the troublemaker's chamber," Jaken replied with a touchy tone.
"It's so, empty and neat," she said gazing into it from the doorway.
"That's because I don't have anything worth keeping. There'd be no point in keeping a shovel or a cloth in there!" I said coming towards them.
The lady looked at me with a small smile on her face.
"I see, so you don't take your work with you," she laughed.
"Sure," I said with a fake laugh, pretending to care.
"Dear child why are you soaking wet?" Reiku asked when she could see my wet clothing.
"Someone just chucked a bucket of water at me. No big deal."
Jaken stood where he was with crossed arms, upset by our talking.
"Lady Reiku, allow me to show you the rest of the castle! There's so much more to see!" he said as he shoved me out of the way a little with his staff.
"Oh yes, of course."
"How ride of me to delay you! My apologies," I said forcing a small smile.
I watched as the both of them walked down the hallway and turned the corner. 'For once Jaken I must thank you for getting rid of her!' I thought as I went into my chamber and closed the door. The rain could be heard as it pounded against the side of the castle. I flopped onto my bed, feeling even more tired than I had when I had woken up this morning. 'Those two know nothing of how it feels to not know anything about whom or what they are. I know I'm demon, but I don't know what kind I am or where I came from. All I can remember is walking in the rain and then seeing a silver figure through the trees.' I sighed and closed my eyes as my face was against my bed.
"If only they knew what it was like," I whispered as their words rang through my head.
"Did your kind come and take it back to their village and leave you here?" I slowly fell asleep to the peaceful sound of the rain falling outside.
When the sun had set, the darkness of night started to set in. The rain clouds had faded and the bright moon took its place in the midnight sky. Some light had found its way into my chamber and lay at the foot of my bed. Not a sound could be heard throughout the castle until my door was slowly opened and two feet landed on the ground. The person stood there for a few moments, watching my sleeping form with the light of the moon. Slowly their soft footsteps walked across the polished stone floor. They stopped when they were beside me and dropped something they were holding. My face was still buried in my bed as I slept on my stomach. The person sat onto their knees, as if waiting for something to happen. About an hour passed before I rolled onto my back in my sleep. This being the moment the person was waiting for; they placed a hand on the other side of me and one knee in between my legs as if not wanting to wake me up.
"These feelings I feel are only for you to take. I my heart desires you Fox, and no one will take you from me," they whispered to me, gently resting their body against mine.
Their breath was warm against my skin as their face was close to my neck. Slowly they came up to be face to face with me and slowly pressed our lips together.
In my sleep I could feel myself slightly aroused in my sleep. I could feel someone against me, holding me down with their weight. 'I'm asleep and I can still feel Sesshoumaru against me. Even his lips still feel like they're there!' I didn't move because I thought I was only imagining it. As if knowing I was slightly awake, the person broke the kiss and got off me. 'Now it's gone.' I opened my eyes with slight confusion and sat up. There was no one to be seen, not a thing in sight. Moving my left hand over slightly, I felt a soft fabric and took hold of it. 'My scarf, but I left it in Sesshoumaru's chamber. How'd it get here?' My red eyes had caught a small glimmer of slightly glowing silver. I looked at the blue moonlight and it turned my red eyes a slight purple. 'Maybe Sesshoumaru was here and just dropped it beside me then left. As if he would ever want me. He thinks of me like all the others. To him I'm just a troublemaker and that's all I'll ever be. Why he brought me here and didn't just kill me as that child I will never understand.' I sighed and fell back onto my bed, closing my eyes once again.
"Why doesn't he just kill me and get it over with instead of letting me act like a fool is beyond me. I should have been dead four years ago when I really pissed him off," I whispered with a yawn.
I soon fell back to sleep and then the silver could be seen again from my doorway. There stood Sesshoumaru who looked at the moonlight on my bed. It had been close for him. If he hadn't have smelt my awakening when he had then he would have been caught in my chamber. The lord smirked slightly at his own arousal. It had blocked his senses and almost caused him to do something he had wanted my say in.
"Next time when we come together like this, you will want me just as I want you," he whispered as he silently closed my door.
