-----------------------------
His hand was creeping its way downward and she can feel his lustful desire just by the look in his sparkling golden eyes.
Botan was so scared she nearly fainted on the spot. Her desires to escape were futile within his arms and legs. She wanted to scream so loud that all the people in the village will be able to hear her but she knew it was hopeless, knowing fully that the village was like 2 kilometers away from where she was at that moment.
His bright eyes pierced on hers and she can see his fang emerging from his smirking lips. She trembled and uncontrollably, tears started pouring out from her the lids of her eyes. Frantically, her hands moved restlessly on her side, searching for something...anything that will free her from his brutal embrace. Her heart was drumming too fast she can feel each beat coming out from her chest.
Suddenly, when his palm was traveling dangerously lower, her right hand touched something. It was hard, solid and round.
A rock? She thought and raised it without second thoughts or hesitation. She took a deep breath, dashed the stone violently on the youkai's head and waited 'til an ounce of blood rushed out from his head.
Fortunately, it was a success. The youkai fell lamely beside her and he shouted a curse. Botan was stunned for a moment at what she did, but immediately stood up and ran towards the left wing. She held her Kimono close and her eyes searched for somewhere to hide.
On the left wing, there was an open door. The hallway was benighted and only the midget amount of light from the opened room was visible. Without second thoughts, Botan hastened inside the room and instantly flung the door close, careful not to make startling sound. With trembling hands, she locked the door in a click. She turned around and gaped for a moment at what she saw.
It was a spacious room with the floor covered with think felt of red carpet from each corner of the room. On the right was a balcony that resembled those of the balconies owned by landlords during the Edwardian period, but of course, this one is a much older style. Every glassy window was adorned with forest green long curtains and anywhere you send your eyes at, you'll always see a couple of plants and flowers on vase or on pots. In the center of the room was a king-sized bed clothed with clean and unwrinkled pale green bedsheet. Beside it resided a bedside table where a peculiar rose celled in what seemed to be a transparent glass capsule. Botan stepped gingerly towards the table, wanting to see a nearer vision of that peculiar thing.
Five more steps and Botan will soon take a good look at the flower but something caught her sight. What was that? She thought as she glinted on her left, seeing the most adorable emerald eyes she ever saw. Her mouth fell open as she averted her gaze from the flower to the big portrait on the wall. She moved towards it and read the title below the painting.
"Old version Master Kurama..." she read softly. Her chin rose up and she stared awestruck at the person inside the frame. His eyes were the most expressive ones she saw, it was like one of the wonders of the world. She felt lucky getting the chance to see it. Framing his face were a million strands of flame hair that shone brightly on the portrait. Botan brought her eyes to his perfectly chiseled nose down to his strong jaw. His lips were curled up and she can feel herself melting with that peaceful smile on him, that mere smile gave someone a feeling that everything around her was wonderful. And his lips were...deliciously pink that Botan lingered a couple of minutes just gazing at it. Deliciously pink...it looked...kissable... she shook her head and was bewildered at her own thoughts. Did I just say that?!
She blushed in different shades of red and backed off. Who could this person be?
"Kurama, it says," she whispered. But, who is he? It sounds familiar though, like she heard that name a long time ago.
A beating sound of loud thumps of step awakened Botan from her contemplation. She frowned and gasped. Oh lord, it's him! She deliriously looked everywhere to hide and she found the space under the bed. In a swift second, she was on the floor and slowly crawled under the bed, both arms covering her exposed brassieres. She waited for a moment and all of a sudden, someone unlocked the door. Botan trembled and closed her eyes to pray deeply.
Youko closed the door behind him mutely. He took a paused, scanned his room and sighed. "What a waste! If only she just gave in with her lust then everything would have been fun," he spoke and blew the bangs on his forehead. He walked to his bed and opened the capsule that captured the rose on his bedside table. "Just a few petals remaining..." he whispered silently, his eyes of gold getting darker.
He shrugged and closed the capsule again. "What a shame for such a beauty to neglect me," he said while taking his shoes off. He collapsed his big form on the mattress and stared at his white ceiling, his palms both serving pillow on his head. "You are the first one to reject me do you know that? Who the hell is strong enough to do such thing?! What are you? A tomboy? With such captivating face, shame on you!" he yelled to no one in particular.
Oddly, his eyes gleamed in delight and he smirked from ear to ear. "But you know what?" he slowly glided out from his bed. He threw the end side of his bedsheet up to reveal the wide-eyed Botan and he whispered. "...that's what I like about you the most," he grin slyly and pulled her wrist harshly out from under the bed.
Botan yelped in surprise. She was dragged away from beneath his bed and she cried at her aching wrist held by him. In a split second, she was dumped on his soft cushion pad and he followed her immediately. "Aren't you the one being aggressive here to actually find my own room before me?" he chuckled and eyed her lustfully. "Let's resume, shall we?" he bolted both her wrist on the bed, determined not to let her strike something on his head again. That was one strong hit, even if he did survive he can still feel the stinging pain on his head.
"No! Let go, you monster!" Botan protested and wiggled underneath him. She tried raising her legs to kick but it was of no use. Both his legs were between her thighs and the more she tried waggling, the more he parted her thighs away, it's just beginning to get painful to her.
"Don't ever do the same thing you did if you love your life so much! If you ever try resisting me, I'll rip your throat out in an instant!" he hissed, now completely annoyed at her force. And the fact that she didn't seem to like him a bit, it was an insult to his charm.
Botan fell silent and the tears that were threatening to pour earlier were now uncontrollably spilling to her cheeks. She didn't move and just panted, her chest involuntarily rising up and down very fast. She was stunned at the thought of him killing her. She bit her lip and she felt them trembled continuously.
"There, there, that's the good girl! You know, you look more beautiful when you're silent," he snarled and leaned on her neck, ready to cast his first lick when a knock on the door was heard.
His forehead creased. "Fuck!" he growled at her neck. He moved his head away from her to glare at the door. "Who is it!?" he demanded.
"Master Kurama, you have to go to the dungeon. The captives are trying to kill themselves inside the cell!" the knocker shouted behind the door.
"Kurama?" Botan thought to herself.
To hell with them! Kurama cursed on his head before staring at Botan. Then he gathered himself out from his bed and pulled Botan to him. "Come here," he simply commanded and dragged her along him carelessly.
-------------------------------
Botan was brought in a smelly dark room. The man who knocked on the door was what Kurama called Yusuke. Yusuke provided the light for them along the way. He was a dragon youkai, Botan knew that. The guy had a horn that resembled a unicorn but he also had the wings of the devil. His skin had bluish scales on them and his hair was a long wild length of black. Both his ears were long and he had black tattoos on his face. Yusuke was staring at her compassionately, as if he was almost sorry for her.
"Yusuke, where are the prisoners?" Kurama asked through the hallway, his deep voice echoed to every corner.
"At the sixth cell, they're being guarded by Koenma," Yusuke answered.
They moved forward and Yusuke flicked on his finger to produce more light. As the three of them got closer to the said vicinity, a couple of screams of women were heard.
Botan was aghast. She knew exactly who they were. With all the force left within her, she shoved her hand away from the demon's grip and ran towards the source of the voices.
"Obaasan! Shizuru!" she reached them and held on the chain of their cell.
"Botan!" her family exclaimed in unison. Shizuru had an expression on her face as though saying 'what the heck, you are not supposed to be here!'
"How are you? Are you hurt?" Botan asked worriedly.
Both of the women gasped at her. "What happened to you?!" Genkai asked, her eyes growing wider seeing her granddaughter's torn kimono. She looked humiliated. "Who did that to you!?" the old woman felt herself steaming up.
"I-I.." Botan was cut off.
"I did," the upcoming Kurama said coolly.
All eyes stared at him. Kurama continued talking. "I thought Koenma's here?" he asked Yusuke.
"He was here earlier," Yusuke answered.
"He went out to get rid of my gun," Shizuru told.
"I see. And I thought they want to kill themselves. You should have just let them," he glanced at Yusuke again.
The dragon sighed. "I thought you want them alive, Your Highness,"
"Please, sir, I beg you. Spare my family, they didn't do anything to you!" Botan interrupted, her eyes swollen with too much tears.
Youko looked at her with interest.
"No! Botan!" Shizuru protested. "You make yourself out of here! We can escape and we'll be back home, okay? Oh Botan please don't cry," she held her sister's hand and wiped a tear from her eyes.
"Shizuru-neechan..."
"Botan, I am old and I lived my life. You are young, you should be free. Just leave us here and save your life, Botan! We will be okay," Genkai extended her arms up to Botan's head to comfort her.
"Touchy," Youko said sarcastically. "Your dream of escaping is far from reality and I'm sure both of you are aware of that," he threw something towards the two older women and both caught it in a flash. They opened their palm but to their surprise, the thing thrown was gone.
"Master, did you just throw..." Yusuke's eyes widened momentarily.
Youko nodded. "It's the best way to keep their mouths shut,"
"But Master Kurama!" Yusuke drew one-step forward and halted.
Botan stared at her sister and grandma. Something was going on inside them; their body became stiff and trembling. She gaped. They're changing forms!
A bright light shone shortly and when darkness controlled over again, Botan almost fainted. Instead of seeing her beautiful family inside the cell, in front laid two huge fresh roses slightly bowing down at her. Her face paled in utter shock.
"What...did you do?" Botan whispered helplessly.
"Here's the deal, your family's not dead. I just turned them to a living plant and if you live here forever and promise to be my bride, then I'll spare them and bring them back to their old selves," Youko smirked automatically at Botan's submissive expression. She wasn't the hard-to-get no more and his desires for her were arousing back again. At this point, she'll probably do whatever he wanted her to do, even to the extent of stripping her clothes off at this very moment. Youko moaned at the vision inside his head and he smirked inwardly.
"I promise," without afterthought, Botan answered directly. Tears stung on her lids and she collapsed on the floor, crying her heart out.
"Good. But not quite enough, I still have to remain your family in that position until you willingly submit to everything I want you to do," his golden orbs danced happily with the light from Yusuke's finger.
Botan looked at him with obvious fierce feeling of mixed hatred and grief. "You monster!" she tipped to attack him but Yusuke hurriedly held her waist to restrain her.
"You see what I mean?" Youko cast her a bored look. "Yusuke, bring her to her chambers and make sure she wouldn't have a chance of escape," he ordered and left.
Yusuke bowed, his fist clenching in discreet anger. "Yes...You're Highness." He said through gritted teeth.
