Amigirl: Hey guys! I hope everyone is enjoying the fanfic. I am because I can go wild, just as long as I follow the guidelines for the fiction ratings.
Btw (by the way) () this means a little note from me or the translation of a word or phrase from Japanese to English.
What happened in the last Chapter:
"I must give you my mark," Sesshomaru said, "so that other demons will know that you belong to me."
"You may," Hiumi said.
Sesshomaru began to nip at her neck again. All of the sudden Hiumi felt Sesshomaru's teeth go into the sensitive part of her neck. She winced in pain as Sesshomaru took her hand. A tear came down her cheek as Sesshomaru let go of her neck and looked at her. He licked the tear off of her face and kissed her on the lips.
"Now would you like to mark me as your own," Sesshomaru asked.
Before Sesshomaru could finish his sentence Hiumi bit into his neck and licked the blood from where she bit him. They lay down on the bed and stared at each other, Sesshomaru still holding Hiumi's hand. He rubbed her cheek with his free hand and smiled.
"Now you are more than just a maid again," Sesshomaru said, "you are mine."
And now onto Chapter Three:
Warming the Heart of a Cold Hearted Dog Demon
Chapter Three-Got to get away:
Hiumi sat on the couch and stared at the door. Sesshomaru had gone to talk to his father about them being together, leaving her alone in his rooms.
"Why must he always leave me during the day," Hiumi asked herself as she laid down on the couch.
"I don't know," Inu Yasha's voice came from the doorway.
Hiumi sat up and stared at him angrily.
"I have permission from milord to kill you if you come near me again," Hiumi said angrily, "now leave me in peace."
"Here's the thing," Inu Yasha said, "everyday that my youkai (demon) of a brother is away I will come and visit you."
"Leave me," Hiumi said angrily as she stood up.
"And each day I will do more to you than the last," Inu Yasha said taking a step towards her, "until I get what I want."
"And what is that," Hiumi demanded angrily.
"You as mine," Inu Yasha said.
"Sorry," Hiumi said showing him Sesshomaru's mark on her neck, "I've already been marked."
"Do you think that I care," Inu Yasha asked as he continued to walk towards her, "I'm a hanyou (half demon), so I do not consider myself bound by the rule of youkais."
"Take another step towards me and I will kill you," Hiumi said angrily extending her claws.
Inu Yasha stopped walking towards her and laughed.
"Do you think that Sesshomaru truly cares for you because of that mark," Inu Yasha asked as he laughed, "He has branded tons of maids as his own before killing them."
"You are wrong," Hiumi said with sadness and anger, "He does care for me."
"Only as his current maid," Inu Yasha said, "I think I have told you enough. If you want to know more, than ask that youkai that you call your lord."
Inu Yasha turned and walked out of the room closing the door behind him. Hiumi fell to her knees and began to cry. She didn't care for the footsteps that came towards the door, nor about the youkai that entered into his rooms. All she cared about was that her world was crashing down around her again. She felt Sesshomaru's hands on her shoulders, trying to comfort her.
"Why did you lie to me," Hiumi said not looking at him, "Why did you lie about your other maids?"
"I have not lied to you," Sesshomaru said hurt at her comment, "you are the only one that I have marked."
Hiumi slapped him, tracing her claws across his face before running out of the room. Hiumi ran down the hall crying, desperate to get out of the palace, desperate to get away from a certain inu youkai (dog demon). She heard him running not far behind her and ran through the courtyard, trying to get away from him. Hiumi felt a hand grip her wrist. She reached around and clawed Sesshomaru, leaving shallow cuts on his arms.
"Hiumi stop this," Sesshomaru said wrapping his arms around her.
"I don't care I want to leave this place," Hiumi said struggling, causing more claw marks on Sesshomaru's arms and chest.
"Then come with me to my own personal home," Sesshomaru said holding her tightly, "Leave this place with me and you will never have to see him again."
Hiumi's legs failed underneath her, still being held up by Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru sat down with her in his arms and pulled her close to him, trying to comfort her. Hiumi clung to him as if he would leave and never come back.
"You have duties," Hiumi said, "We must stay here. Just do me a favor when you leave next time."
"And what is that my little neko youkai (cat demon)," Sesshomaru asked.
"Lock the door and have someone guard it," Hiumi said, "I do not want to see him again."
"I will have my most trusted guards guard it," Sesshomaru said, "and the treasure that I have locked within."
"I am a simple maid now," Hiumi said, "nothing more now."
"You are my mate," Sesshomaru said, "not a mere maid."
"So what did Lord Inu Taisho say about us being together," Hiumi asked.
"He disapproved of it," Sesshomaru said, "something about I should take a Inu youkai (dog demon) for a mate, not a neko youkai (cat demon)."
"Does this mean that we cannot be together my lord," Hiumi asked.
"I told him that we would still be together no matter what he thinks," Sesshomaru said.
Hiumi turned and wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru's neck, hugging him.
"I don't want you to leave me again," Hiumi said, "I want to stay with you were ever you go."
"Well," Sesshomaru said, "some taiyoukai (I think it means high demon or something, its higher than a youkai) are allowed to bring a servant around with them wherever they go. I wonder if it's the same with maids."
"I feel safe when I'm around you," Hiumi said, "and when you're gone, it's like how it was when I was a noble, lonely."
"You are never alone," Sesshomaru said rubbing his mark that he had given her, "this mark is proof of that."
"It doesn't feel right when we are separated from each other," Hiumi said, "even for a short amount of time."
"I will try to not leave you alone for long," Sesshomaru said kissing her forehead, "If it is ever required for me to leave you alone for long. You will never be without a guard."
"When is that horrible hanyou going to leave," Hiumi asked bitterly.
"Not for a few days my little neko youkai," Inu Yasha said from in front of them, " I got father to let me stay for a few more days."
"You have some nerve coming near me brother," Sesshomaru said as he looked at Inu Yasha and his eyes slowly began to turn red.
"Calm yourself brother," Inu Yasha said, "I wouldn't try to take what is mine from you until I really want it."
Hiumi clung onto Sesshomaru, digging her claws into his arm to remind him that she was still with him.
"Be glad that my mate is here brother," Sesshomaru said "for if she wasn't here, than I would kill you where you stand."
"Let's go Sesshomaru," Hiumi said, "I grow weary of this hanyou's company."
Sesshomaru and Hiumi walked away from Inu Yasha and back towards the side of the palace that housed Sesshomaru's rooms.
"Thank you for reminding me that you were there," Sesshomaru said, "For I do not know what I would do if I were to lose control."
"I think I have a pretty good idea of how you would act in your rage," Hiumi said hanging onto Sesshomaru's arm, "and I bet you that I could bring you back from it."
"Do you now," Sesshomaru said, "and how would you know what I am like when I am in a rage?"
"I'm your mate," Hiumi said, "Remember?"
Sesshomaru gave Hiumi a smile and hugged her.
"You are still strong and defiant against me," Sesshomaru said.
"Someone has to be," Hiumi said digging her claws into his arm, "or else living in this palace wouldn't be fun."
"Release your grip upon my arm," Sesshomaru said, "or else."
"Or else what," Hiumi said not removing her claws from him.
"Or else you will have to be punished," Sesshomaru said.
"If you can catch me," Hiumi said digging her claws deeper into his arm and running away from him.
Hiumi ran through the palace as fast as she could with her demon speed and hid in an empty room. She looked at the door and then let out a deep breath. She backed up towards the wall until she hit something. She felt something touch her shoulder. She looked at her shoulder to see a hand on it. She turned and bowed to the owned of the hand.
"I am sorry Master Inu Taisho," Hiumi said bowing low, "I didn't know where I was going, pardon the intrusion. I did not know what study I was going into."
Sesshomaru came into the room and looked at his father.
"I am sorry," Sesshomaru said bowing with a smile, "Hiumi was running to get something for me and must have forgotten where she was going."
"It is okay my son," Inu Taisho said, "Just as long as I don't see you maid in here again. "
"Don't let Inu Yasha influence your decision father," Sesshomaru said, "he wants something that he cannot have, and it bugs the hell out of him."
"Maybe if you two were to switch maids," Inu Taisho said, "you would be nicer to each other."
"Hiumi leave the room," Sesshomaru said, "Go back to our rooms while I explain that you are no longer my maid, but my mate."
Hiumi got up and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind her. She stood outside of the room with her gaze on the ground. She slowly walked back to hers and Sesshomaru's rooms.
"Why does everything have to be about nobility around here," Hiumi asked herself, "Ironic, because I used to be a noble and thought just like them."
Hiumi opened the door to their shared rooms and closed it behind her. She went over to the balcony and looked out at the garden. Her neko youkai hearing could still pick up the faint sounds of yelling on the other side of the palace.
"I wonder if this will be going on for most of the day," Hiumi said, "because it is getting severely annoying listening to it. Don't you think so too hanyou?"
"You will not call me by that," Inu Yasha said, "When I am considered a noble in this house."
"Do you think I care," Hiumi said, "and I will call you a hanyou if I wish."
"So defiant," Inu Yasha said, "Is that how you got that idiot of a brother of mine to mate with you?"
"I will not discuss that with a half demon," Hiumi said looking out at the gardens below her.
Before she could react she felt someone's hand grasp her throat and pull her away from the balcony. Hiumi clawed at Inu Yasha's hand, trying to get him to release his grip upon her throat. He threw her towards the balcony. Hiumi looked over the edge of the balcony as she jumped onto the railing. She looked back at Inu Yasha without any emotion showing upon her face.
"Now maid," Inu Yasha said, "Don't do anything that you may regret."
Hiumi just smiled and jumped backwards, off of the balcony. Hiumi dug her claws into the vines hopping to grab hold of something to slow her descent. Hiumi grabbed onto a vine and hung from it. She looked up, not seeing Inu Yasha following her.
"Okay," Hiumi said, "I'll just stay here until Sesshomaru gets back."
Hyumi hung there. She heard the door shut, meaning that the Hanyou finally left. Hyumi tried to pull herself up and then look back at the balcony.
"No wonder no ones ever tried to escape by using the balcony," Hyumi said with a slight smile, "poisonous plants that paralyze the body part that is clinging to them, preventing most escapes. I just hope that Sesshomaru finds me before the Hanyou comes back."
A few hours later...
Sesshomaru came walking into the room and looked around it in slight confusion, expecting to see Hyumi lying asleep on the couch. He caught a wiff of his hanyou brother's stench (A/N: sorry to any in yasha fans I'm just writing this, so no flamming!) in the room and Hyumi's scent of Lilies coming from the balcony. A look of pure fear crept over Sesshomaru's face as he looked at the empty balcony, its white curtains moving in the breeze.
"Oh no," Sesshomaru said, "please don't tell me that she did it."
Sesshomaru walked speedily over to the balcony edge. He looked down to see Hyumi dangling from one of the poisonous vines.
"Hyumi," Sesshomaru sai trying to get her attention.
Hyumi began to stir from her sleep and looked up at Sessshomaru.
"About time you came back," Hyumi said, "I've been dangling from this vine for a few ours now. What took you so long?"
Sesshomaru just shook his head and looked at Hyumi.
"I'm going to try and pull you up," Sesshomaru said, "Can you still move your other arm."
Hyumi waved her arm up and down before looking at Sesshomaru again.
"Yeah," Hyumi said.
"When you get close enough to the balcony edge," Sesshomaru said, "I'm going to try and grab you free arm, ok?"
"Ok," Hyumi said.
Sesshomaru began to pull the vine holding Hyumi up. Hyumi looked down at the ground for a while as she got half way up the wall. A ripping sound broke her reverie, making her look for the cause of the sound. She stared at part of the vine not that far up from her, a small tear on the side of it.
"Um Lord Sesshomaru," Hyumi said, "You might want to hurry up and pull me up, the vine is beginning to tear."
Her ascent began to speed up slight just then. When she got about 3 feet from the balcony edge the tear was almost complete.
"Sesshomaru," Hyumi said desperately as she stared at the tear, "Its almost torn completely."
Sesshomaru just stared at her and gave the vine a swift jerk up as it tore. Hyumi came flying above the balcony railing and Sesshomaru raised his arms out to catch her. He almost lost his baalance as he caught her. Hyumi clung to his haori as Sesshomaru went back into the room with her in his arms. He sat down on the couch still holding her.
"So are you going to talk to me," Sesshomaru said as she continued to cling to his haori, afraid that he may leave her.
"Don't ever leave me again," Hyumi said, "please don't ever leave me again."
"I am a taiyoukai," Sesshomaru said, "and with that comes duties that I may not want to do right now."
"What about your duty to your mate," Hyumi asked, "What about your duty to me?"
"I will post guards at the doors," Sesshomaru said, "and I will post them out on the balcony. I would only have my most trusted men guard what I hold most precious."
"But what if he still comes back," Hyumi asked, "and takes me from you?"
"Then I will just have to go and rescue now," Sesshomaru said as he lifted her chin and lowered his lips right above her lips, "Won't I?"
Sesshomaru kissed Hyumi.

Amigirl: Hey guys sorry if the chapter was short or anything. BTW I was wondering who all would like Hyumi to get kidnapped or something?
