You Call Me Enemy, I Call You Love
Rika was the kind and caring daughter of the lord and lady of the Northern, Southern, and Eastern lands. Sesshoumaru was the cold and stoic son of the lord of the Western lands. The two were complete opposites, so what happened when they fell in love?
Chapter 3: That's MY Bear!
Sesshoumaru looked over at Rika, "Are you awake?" He asked before realizing he might actually be waking her up.
Rika lifted her head, "Yeah…why?" She asked, yawning lightly.
"Can I sleep next to you?" He blurted out, "That is…it would…make me feel much safer knowing there is someone there." He blushed lightly again, but it was dark.
"Uh…sure…but if you better leave my bear alone…" She said, moving over a little to make room and curling into her big white teddy bear.
"I have no interest in your teddy bear…" He said, once again speaking in his aloof way. His beast snickered something about her being his teddy bear.
"Fine…get over here so I can get back to sleep…" Rika said, her face turning slightly pink.
He walked over and laid down, his arm starting to go around her waist, but he stopped it. "Talk to you in the morning…" He said, rolling so his back was to her.
"Yeah…" She blushed.
Around midnight, Rika woke up she found a set of arms around her and her bear, which was pinned between her and Sesshoumaru. Her face lit up cherry red as she realized that he had both arms around her and that she was not hugging her bear but Sesshoumaru instead. She looked up at his face to see that he was still sleeping and let out a sigh of relief.
Sesshoumaru eyes snapped open when she sighed and he found himself looking into those strange, yet beautiful, eyes he had so often dreamed of. His face turned a light shade of red as he too realized how they were laying.
The two sprung apart and he accidentally took her bear with him which, of course, made her glare at him and growl lightly, He got a little scare at this and scooted away, angering her more.
"What do you think your doing?!" She said with a slight sound of joking in her angered voice.
"I…uh…" He looked around, ""N-nothing…" He said, trying to sound calm while his heart race and thundered inside his chest.
"That's MY bear…" Rika added, smiling widely, "And I want him back…" She said, boldly hugging Sesshoumaru, "Give me back my nice warm bear and his big warm buddy…" She joked.
Sesshoumaru was amazed, not only wasn't she angry with him for holding her in sleep but she wanted him to hold her and keep her warm even now. He scooted back towards her and laid back down. Not long after that, the two were holding each other again, sound asleep.
As they slept, Sesshoumaru's beast tried to find a way to take over. He wanted this girl more than he had ever wanted anything but had to give up in the end. He would wait until he had his chance later on.
Unknown to Sesshoumaru, and his beast, Rika's own inner beast was making similar attempts with similar thoughts. She too had to give up, plotting ways to break free instead.
'Mark my words Rika…He Will be ours…I swear this.' The female beast whispered to the sleeping girl.
