Chapter 8: you're supposed to be DEAD!!!!!
Raine was in her room when there was a soft knock at her door. She opened it and it was lady meia.
"hey, meia what up?" Raine asked smiling meia was staying for a while cause Sesshomaru was holding a meeting of all four lords.
"well, I was wondering if you would like to go for a walk in the gardens, you know get to know each other. And take the little ones out to play" she said
Raine smiled at this "of course meia" the went and gathered the children and went out side
Sesshomaru was in his study with lord taisuka standing by the window. They had been talking about battle plans and such. Taisuka gazed out the window he spotted his mate, he was still breathless when he looked at her. He smiled.
"our, mates seem to be getting along well Sesshomaru" tai said looking at his long time friend
"yes, I am glad of that as you have noticed Raine is not very… mild tempered"
Tai laughed a deep beautiful sound.
"yes well, meia isn't mild tempered either" in fact his mate was one of the scariest demons when she was upset,
They both chuckled at this
"so meia tell me how was it that you and tai met?" rain asked out of curiosity, Rin and meia's three children her son the oldest who was ten and two daughters were playing tag.
Meia smiled at the memory of meeting her husband.
"well, believe it or not I was not born of royal blood" she started
Raine raised a eye brow "no?"
Meia shook her head "I used to be a servant, and tai's father was the lord. Tai was captain of the guard he was so handsome" she said dreamily Raine smiled she listened intently as the story began…
Meia's Flashback
A young meia and her sister were being led in a precession of new women servants. And to put it lightly she was pissed she had fought the guards sent by the king to retrieve maidens for his son, taisuka she was bruised and bloody and very angry which was a bad mix. She felt a hard jerk on her chains, she growled low in her throat, the had come to meet the tai the lord's son all bowed to him as he walked up, but meia did not.
"bow wench" a guard behind her yelled and pushed her closer to tai who watched her curiously and slightly amused
"I bow to no one, bastard" she spat receiving a rather rough jerk in her long hair she clenched her teeth refusing to cry out.
"you will bow" the guard said and slapped her across the face. Hard.
She'd had it she grabbed her chains and swung them connecting with the guard's face she kicked and punched till they restrained her one of them kneed her in the stomach and she was back handed again.
"release her" came a silky soft voice yet it was laced with power they stopped and stepped away she was on her hands and knees breathing hard. Her whole body ached
"leave us" was all he said and quickly the guards departed with the others
For a long time she didn't move still on her knees she kept her head down, she had no idea who saved her or what he looked like. When she felt his arms lifting her off the ground she struggled weakly he chuckled at her
"a fighter till the end are you" he said as he set her down by a small stream. She got her first look at him he was in one word beautiful. He was tall and elegant, and muscular, he wore no shirt just pants, he had long dark blackish purple hair than was loose and draped over his shoulders his skin was a creamy white pointed ears, hazel eyes and a dimpled smile. 'I think I am in love' she thought to herself she was sort of in a trance.
He returned her gaze, this was a woman that he wanted, she was small but built like a woman and a temper to match it, with her magenta eyes and long dark blue hair. He wondered if it was as soft as it looked. He reached out and slid his elegant fingers through it then pushed a piece gently behind her ear. He had brought her face closer. So close his nose brushed hers. 'I think I'm in love' he thought to himself. He smirked and leaned closer to her, relieved when she didn't push him away. His lips bumped against hers she immediately melted against him, he caught her and kissed her as he'd never kissed a woman before, the way she reacted was reluctant which told him she'd never been kissed before,
When he leaned back, her eyes were closed, she utterly adorable, "you can open your eyes now sweet" he said stroking her cheek.
"sorry" she said softly and her face became a flushed crimson she scooted back from him. he wet a rag in the water an cleaned her face off.
"thank you" she said looking into his eyes, once again she got lost in them.
She was cute when she blushed so he decided to make her blush more.
"you've never been kissed before have you?" he asked as he picked her up and started to walk back to the castle
She blushed again much to his delight "no, I didn't know how"
"well, I shall be honored to teach you…" he broke off not knowing her name
"meia" she said
"ah, meia" he said her name as if he was testing it "I like that"
"and you?"
"taisuka, but please call me tai" he said gently
"ah, tai I like that"…
End of meia's Flashback
"and from there I fell head over heels in love" meia said she laughed at the look Raine was giving her,
"that was the best love story ever!" rain sighed dreamily
"indeed it was" tai's deep voice said from behind them, he hugged each of his kids as they came up to him. he picked up his youngest daughter and walked over to meia and Raine. He leaned down and kissed her softly.
"you did forget to tell her that when I offered to help you, you slapped me" he growled playfully. This made Raine laugh, then she silently slipped away to leave them alone. She went to Sesshomaru's study to find him starring off into space he seemed to be in intense thought.
"sessh?" she asked softly
"yes," he replied not looking at her
"well, you seem out of sorts, are you alright" she was worried about him
There was a knock at the door interrupting them.
"enter" he barked a servant came in and informed them that the lords were arriving Sesshomaru rose with out a word and left she sighed and got ready
She wore
A floor length silver kimono with blood red roses on them it had a split up her leg to her mid thigh on both sides, her hair was in a half up half down style with ringlets around her face she looked dazzling. She went to Rin's room she was wearing a cute pale pink kimono with yellow daisies.
"my, my don't you look adorable" Raine gushed
"you look pretty to mommy!" Rin yelled excitedly Raine smiled she was a very beautiful child
"thank you Rin, now let's go find meia and go to dinner okay"
Rin nodded
At dinner
It was a very nice dinner they talked and laughed what was so strange to Raine was that all the lords were so young looking, it wasn't because they were demons but seriously
There was Sesshomaru of the west who didn't look a day over 20 in human years
Taisuka looked about nineteen he was the eastern lord
There was lord toya of the north he was about 22 looking
And the lord of the south looked the oldest at 23 but still very handsome there was something vaguely familiar about him like she seen him before, but she couldn't place it then some how they got started about how Raine and Sesshomaru met and such, then family.
"so milady where are you from" lord toya asked Raine tried her best to remain impassive and relatively happy but this subject was very difficult it made her think about how lonely it was growing up alone, how her father died trying to protect the people who scorned her, why her mother didn't want her.
"well, I was originally from the south" she caught the eye of the lord of the south he never said his name but he smile at her and she suddenly remembered that smile…
"but I left a long time ago, my last remaining family died so I left" she couldn't look at him,
"I'm sorry milady my daughter died sometime ago, she would have been about you're age I think and probably as beautiful as you as well" he sighed softly and a forlorn look entered his black and grey glittering eyes Raine in hailed sharply making sessh look at her this man was…
Sesshomaru, I need to talk to you right now" she hissed
He looked at her strangely " is there something-" she cut him off by bolting to her feet
"NOW" she said urgently she grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the great hall and into the corridor hallway.
He looked down at her there were tears glistening in her eyes. He framed her face gently in his big hands
"what is the matter what happened" he'd never seen her like this before.
"I know who the lord of the south is" she sobbed out and cried against his chest he let her cry for a minute and gently pushed her away so she could look at him.
"who?"
"my… my… my" she was breathing erratically and she couldn't draw a breath and began to hiccup hard/
He grabbed her shoulders and leaned down
"Raine, calm down and breath okay just breath" he said softly
She started to calm down and draw deep breath with him nodding in approval "now what were you saying mate"
"he's my father" she finally said and for once in his life he was momentarily speechless then regained his posture.
"how do you know that" he demanded
"well, at first he looked familiar, but I just thought I had seen him on my travels some where. But then he smiled at me and I knew this was him" she said dumbfounded
"he's supposed to be dead" she whispered to herself.
I don't think I can go back in there" she said
He smiled "oh yes you can" the look he gave her told her it was useless to argue with so she cleaned her face and plastered on a smile when she walked back in
When she sat down meia leaned over to whisper,
"are you alright?" Raine nodded
"are you alright Raine" tai asked raising an eyebrow
"I'm fine tai why do you ask"
"well, for one thing you flew out of here like a bat out of hell" he winced dramatically when meia pinched his arm.
"did I say something to upset you my lady?" asked lord Kenji, Raine couldn't help but stare he was just as he remembered he was tall with waist length shiny wavy hair and his eyes were that dual black and grey eyes the held both power and gentleness she also remembered his deep raspy voice,
She didn't realize that she was starring until Sesshomaru nudged her gently she snapped out of it.
"oh! No, no I just remembered something really important" she smiled softly to reassure he did nothing wrong but he continued to peer at her as if he was trying to remember her he cocked his head to the side "I apologize for starring my lady but you seem so familiar to me" Raine's heart rate sped up considerably
"I know why I seem familiar to you" she said "father" there were many surprised gasps at the table lord Kenji's went wide with surprise she let her hair down and let it frame her face. Then she slipped her kimono off her shoulder. And showed the paw shaped birth mark there, his had flew to his own shoulder where the identical birthmark resided.
"it cant be," he said "chibi Chan" he said it meant little one he was the only one who could call her that
a/n: I think?
Raine smiled through the tears that streamed like Twin Rivers down her cheeks. She jumped over the table and into his arms he caught her and hugged her tightly he was over come with emotion. He kissed all over her face. She buried her fingers in his hair and her face in his chest. And she bawled she hadn't cried this hard since she was a little pup. Now Raine was tall but being held buy her father whom was atleast a foot taller made her feel like a little girl again. His strong arms tightened as if she were going to disappear in thin air.
"you're suppose to be dead" she whispered against his chest
"you're as beautiful as I remember chibi Chan" he said framing her cheeks with his hands
"thank daddy" he smiled there was clapping and cheers and it was a happy beginning to a story
Later still at dinner
Rin and the other little ones were tucked into bed and it was just the adults now they talked about everything
Meia told Kenji about the incident with Duri it made him laugh
"well, she certainly has her mother's temper" he said ruefully
"that ungrateful bitch" Raine growled
"I agree" muttered lord Kenji
"so lord Sesshomaru you've marked my daughter how did you do it" at that moment Raine and Sesshomaru blushed madly and both laughed nervously.
"that bad huh" lord toya's wife jillian remarked
"well. It was unexpected" sessh said
"how so?" toya said it must be very funny cause he'd never seen sessh blush before.
"well. Sesshomaru when in to heat and kind of went on a rampage, I stopped him and he just marked me"
"don't you dare try to blame it all on me, you didn't even know I marked you, nor did you know what it was you're still so naïve" he smirked when she growled
"I'm not blaming you, you old dog" she snapped
"yes you are you insolent wench"
"Sesshomaru you're getting on my nerves" she sighed rubbing her temples
"hn, I know it so entertaining" he said
"okay every one it late lets all go to sleep" meia suggested they all parted to their rooms.
Sesshomaru was about to lay down when there was a knock at the door.
"enter" he said coldly
Raine shyly poked her head in "sorry, I just wanted to know if…" she stopped
"know what?"
"can I sleep with you, I gave tai and meia my room its closer to their kids" she said he nodded she slipped in beside him spooned his from to her backside, she wiggled around to get a better position and he was getting harder by the minute.
"Raine stop moving you're killing me" he groaned out he didn't see her evil smile as she continued to wriggle. Finally he turned and pined her to the bed and tickled her she giggled and tried to move from his grasp.
"okay, I surrender" her voice still filled with laughter.
"a wise choice" he said he rolled so she was on top of him and he stroked her hair and purred to her she started to fade off to sleep she kissed him sleepily
"night sessh"
He kissed her back a sweet slow kiss
"goodnight my mate"
They both drifted to a peaceful dream land…
