Lilium: Purity and Darkness
Chapter 3 - Dark Miko
" What are you doing?! " Jade eyes filled with fear as the emotionless girl pulled the dagger out of the dead man's head.
She shuttered as the girl licked the blade clean before stashing it away in her pouch.
" I saw Him hurt you so I eliminated him. " The girl explained grabbing the younger girl's hand. " Now you can come with me and we can travel together. "
" No! " Azure eyes widened when the girl pulled away and slapped her.
" Hikari ... " Lilium whispered holding her cheek.
" I'm not going any where with you! You're a murderer and you killed my father! " The girl sobbed.
"But he hit you and you were crying-"
"He was only trying to punish me you idiot! " Hikari cried. " Just go away! I hate you and never want to see your stupid face again! "
" But Hikari I- "
" Leave! "
The elder girl was stunned when the she was pushed to the ground.
" You're not welcomed here any more! "
" I was only trying to help. " Lilium hissed as her body twitched with rage " Why can't you see I only wanted to help! I never wanted to hurt you! " As the girl's voice volume rose the ground began to shake beneath them. Her eyes turned silver and her hair flew wildly behind her as she suddenly hovered in the air as if she were being possessed. Hikari shook in fear, wetting her pants as objects inside the hut started flying around her crashing into the walls.
" If I punished you would you cry for me like you cried for him! " Lilium roared. When Hikari dashed toward the door instead of answering Lilium threw her dagger at her. It hit her heart directly with such force it knocked her into a wall pinning her small body to it.
A sick smirk formed on the Raven haired girl's lips as she listened to the girl's heart stop beating.
" I hope you're happy now. This way you can be with your Father and Will never have to see my face again. " Lilium mumbled as the silver hue leaked from her azure orbs.
Lilum immediately jerked from her dreams and threw up a barrier to defend her self from an attacker.
Her plump lips curved in to a grin when his sword crashed into her invisible shield a few inches away from her, he'd been aiming for her head.
"Attacking a lady in her sleep? What a gentlemen you are Sesshomaru-sama. " The girl mumbled sarcastically with a yawn.
The taiyoukai remained passive as he slipped his sword in its sheath, but you could see amusement dancing in his amber orbs.
" Not bad Girl, but this Sesshomaru would have killed the enemy before they'd even came within 15 feet of his person. " he spoke arrogantly.
Azure eyes rolled and the girl looked at the Western prince skeptically.
"Why are you here? "
The taiyoukai smirked at her question then threw a small square package into her lap.
" Whats this? " She asked curiously.
" Open it and you will see Demented one. " Sesshomaru teased earning a glare from the girl.
She unraveled the neatly sealed package to reveal a fancy sky blue kimono. The girl tipped her head to the side in confusion.
" What is this for? "
"Its a gift to show my appreciation for your ... kindness. " Sesshomaru answered. He lifted a well sculptured eye brow when she shook her head then stood to hand him the gift back.
"Its lovely but I can not take it. Besides its not really my style of clothing. " Lilium explained.
"This Sesshomaru does not care if ' its not your Style' as you say. You will wear it. " He confirmed.
" You will not be allowed to prance around the Western-lands looking like some temptress. "
The raven haired girl narrowed her eyes and dropped the gift at his feet since he would not take it.
" I will do no such thing. Thanks but No Thanks! " Lilium replied in a clipped tone.
" Dark Miko " The Taiyoukai warned when she crossed her arm defiantly then turned to walk away ignoring the threatening rumbles that could be heard in his throat.
" You are not the head taiyoukai of the west therefore I will not- "
Before the woman could finish her sentence the Taiyoukai had pounced on her out of rage and shredded her clothing.
" You will do as I say, it does not matter whether I'm the head Inu or not I'm still far more superior than you." He spat to the naked girl beneath him. She whimpered as his claws graze her side causing his beast to stir at the melodious sound. Sensing and smelling the change in the taiyoukai's scent Lilium called for her dagger and as it slid over to her she took hold of it and stabbed him in the gut.
Sesshomaru's red orbs widened and gold slowly leaked back into them.
" I refuse to submit and be a bitch to the likes of you. Sorry Love. " A malicious smirk appeared on her face as she twisted the dagger before jerking it out. The taiyoukai's hands found their way to her throat. He gave it a firm squeeze while his claws burned it with his poison.
" Woman When I'm finished with you ... you'll be more than my bitch. I'll break you in a way you've never been broken " He whispered dangerously. Seeing the girl was about to make another defiant comment he quickly bit into her neck.
Lilium screamed and her aura flared to battle his as he feasted on her blood. The taiyoukai had never been much of a blood thirsty beast, but her blood was like heaven on his tongue. It tasted strange but extremely pleasing.
After drinking enough to satisfy his cravings the Inu pulled away from the girl whose eyes were drooped. She was slightly overwhelmed from the sensation of having her blood sucked.
" You will either wear my gift or walk naked. Its your choice dark miko " Sesshomaru smirked. " but I must warn you My beast craves your body even more than he craves your blood. I will return soon "
Lilium slowly sat up with a frustrated huff after the daiyoukai prince disappeared.
" You damn dog " She growled " Never underestimate me. This is far from over "
The morning passed by quickly and it wasn't until late evening that Sesshomaru came limping into the clearing.
His face and hair were drentched in sweat and his eyes were hooded. Though his clothing remained stained in his own blood, she could tell his wound was healed.
" wench ... what .. have .. you done to this .. sess... ho.. maru. " His words were slurred forcing the girl into a fit of laughter.
" Whats .. so ... funny? " Sesshomaru tried to demand despite his lazy words. The world around him was spinning causing his head to pound wildly.
"Oh Sesshomaru-sama. You humor me. " Lilium spoke sarcastically. " Oh by the way do you like how your gift looks on me? "
Her question brought his attention to her clothing, and his mouth dropped briefly which happened only once in a life time for the great prideful Sesshomaru.
" You ... bitch .. " he growled even at his drunken state. The beautiful kimono he'd spent alot on to customly make for her was cut and shaped revealing her stomach, arms, the top of her breast, and even had a few slits at the bottom.
Lilium grinned, her azure eyes sparkling with mischief.
" Cool huh?Oh and don't worry about the whole headache thing. I released a poison when you drunk my blood without my permission. It won't kill you but it will last for a while. " She explained while walking away.
"Where .. are ... you ... going ? "
She tilted her head back and licked her lips seductively at the Taiyoukai who peered at her with interest. She could see the lust in his eyes.
" You know I thought alot about the whole being your bitch thing you were talking about earlier, and thought hey it probably wouldn't be as bad as long as it isn't you I submit too. "
Lust quickly turned to anger.
"Bitch ... " Sesshomaru threatened.
" Lalalala Got some sexual tension to release on a hot Inu youkai thats not you. See you later Dog boy. "
The taiyoukai bubbled with rage as she disappeared, leaving him alone in the forest. He would have tried to follow her had his power not been completely drained by her damn poison.
' I'll kill you for this Dark miko. ' He thought as disturbing images of her and another youkai flooded his mind.
A small yawn escaped the twisted vixen's lips as he ran his tongue down her neck, his hands roamed intimate places in hopes of giving pleasure but the girl found none.
' Damn you Sesshomaru ' She pouted.
It was Amazing how the Western Prince remained on her mind even as this strong masculine Inu youkai pressed against her. It was annoying really. The taiyoukai was like a bug she couldn't seem to squash.
All her life he'd haunted her dreams with his golden eyes that promised death. She traveled the world searching for him for years.
" You bore me " The girl grumbled stirring anger in the Inu above her.
" What did you say bitch? " The male growled.
" I said You bore me and for that I shall take your life" She hissed releasing a strong wave of power.
The inu was thrown back roughly into a tree then before he could even stand two long silver strings wrapped around his body and bounded him to the tree. The youkai struggled to escape but the strings would not loosen, he tried to slice them with his claws but they were repealed by some strange power. When the woman stood to her feet cackling evily he glanced at her to meet two malicious silver orbs.
" Who are you? "
Never in his life had he met a creature like her. Now that her scent and aura was unmasked he felt it, this was no normal woman.
" I go by the name of Lilium " She spoke proudly; her head held high.
" Lilium! " His eyes grew wide at the name. " So you are the creature My father once warned me about. "
The girl's eyes narrowed as she patiently waited on him to elaborate.
" The Daughter of a Purity goddess and evil youkai. The being of destruction and chaos." Though the woman's face remained passive he could tell she was listening.
" I always thought it to be a myth he told to keep me away from beautiful women until the day he - My father - He..."
" Mother why are You crying? " A young inu questioned innocently.
Seeing the curious look on the Inu's face the demoness burst into tears and held him close as if to shelter him from the pain she knew would come.
" Your father and his compnaions were killed " Her breathless whisper shocked the boy. She held him tighter as his body shook violently.
" My mother killed herself afterward. All because of you. "
Even as the Inu's voice cracked with emotion her silver eyes did not soften a bit.
" You destroyed my family "
The forest seemed to go silent as Lilium stepped forward. The Inu tensed as a cold hand caressed his cheek and even colder eyes locked onto his sending chills down his spine.
"Your eyes show such pain " Lilium spoke indifferently. " Would you like me to relieve you of that pain."
The inu found himself unable to speak as a clawed finger traveled down the length of his throat.
" You're eyes remind me of the very eyes that haunt me every night, reminding me of the pain I must relive everyday. "
Said eyes widened at her words.
" Your father deserved what he got just as I deserve whats coming to me. Karma never was choosey" Though her tone remained the same her silvery orbs seemed to sparkle maliciously.
The Inu was suprised to see her walk away.
" You're sparing my life? " He questioned with hope.
Lilium halted at his words then tilted her head back with a grin.
" I am a being of destruction and Chaos remember? To spare your life would not fit my description."
Silver eyes gleamed with satisfaction as the strings on the youkai's body tightened until they sliced him to pieces.
" Flawless Victory. " She mused feeling a strong aura rushing toward her.
Lilium quickly threw up a shield to propel the sword that once again aimed at her head.
" We need to stop meeting like this Taiyoukai prince. " Lilium chuckled when the white blur stopped in front of her revealing an angry daiyoukai with a sword raised to fight.
" What you did to this Sesshomaru was disgraceful bitch " Sesshomaru growled. " Why do you reek of My general's scent? "
A small smirk formed on Lilium lips as she glanced behind him.
" Ask him your self "
The taiyoukai turned and golden eyes once again widened once they landed on the horrific sight. Sure he'd seen many dead bodies throughout the years, but Sesshomaru wasn't even sure if he could even call it a body any more.
' How could I have missed such a scent? Was this Sesshomaru really that distracted by this wench'
A small movement out the corner of his eyes caught the Taiyoukai's attention. Sesshomaru surprised Lilium by appearing in front of her. Her breath hitched when the cold metal of his sword pressed against the smooth flesh of her neck.
" I should kill you "
Silver eyes remained emotionless and unwavering as they stared at him blankly.
" Then do it "
Her careless tone was enough to make the Western Prince grit his teeth.
He'd noticed earlier her change in personality when ever her eyes were silver. When they were Azure she was mischievious and playful but also very emotional. When they were silver she was violent, brash, uncaring and malicious. It was almost as if she had a good side and evil side.
" Do not tempt me Dark miko you have killed one of my head generals-"
" Yet I still stand" Lilium finished off with a smile. " Face it Pretty Boy you can not Kill me. " She taunted haughtily.
Her smile broke out into a full blown grin when the vein on his forehead twitched with irritation.
" Don't be foolish " Sesshomaru spat.
Before she knew it her vision went blank and she slipped away into the deep depths of darkness.
Thanks for the reviews everyone and I'm glad you like the story so far!
jaimed1968-
Sesshomaru isn't in love With Lilium Yet he just feels a strong connection to her and she holds his interest unlike any other woman he'd met so his beast is really possessive over her. I guess you can say Sesshy has a small crush on her, but he doesn't know how to deal with it properly because the feelings are sort of new to him. :-)
