I still only own my characters, so please ont hurt me
Chapter 8
Lady Penelope??
Laurel slowly stopped crying. 'That bastard, he promised he would free me. Wait why am I being a wimp about this, I can just escape before he realizes I am gone. That's it, thats how I will get back to my cousin!' She thought and when someone came up behind her she screamed.
"Ohmigosh, I am so sorry I scared you. I am Penelope, do you know Where Lord Sesshomaru is??" The ash blonde woman asked
"Wait, your Hitachi's mate??" Laurel asked as her heart started beating again
"Yes, I am Penelope and he hasn't made it back yet so I came to find him"
"Ohh well he left with Lord Koga a short while ago. But his fuzzy assholeness is in his study" Laurel replied in a biting tone
"He went with Koga?? Ohh god that pervert went to go spy on Ayame what am I going to do??"
"Hey I am just a servant girl here so don't ask me" Laurel replied when suddenly out of no where a certain demon arrived
"Lady Penelope how nice to see you again. Might I inquire as to why you are here?? Hitachi is in my study right now if you are currently looking for him" Sesshomaru stated while shooting an evil look at Laurel.
She hurried off with her blue kimono billowing behind her as Sesshomaru came up in front of Laurel and grabbed her shoulders
"You have some explaining to do like about your thoughts of excaping. I order you to not even try to escape the palace walls. I order you to stay here until the war is over and I dont have to worry about you getting hurt in it." he said as some screaming and bashing is heard coming from the study
"shouldn't you be checkin up on that?" Laurel asked as he kissed her forehead and picked her up
"no its just Penelope giving Hitachi what he deserves. I better have Jaken give them a room or else my study will need deep cleaned again" He replied back. His arm held her bottom firm as she looped her arms around his neck. She was beaten and he knew it.Softly he carried her up the stairs inside the castle, down the long hall to his bedchambers. The fireplace was lit giving off a warm glow, and the chairs in the small sitting area of black leather showed the wealth this lord had. Softly he set her on the couch and left for his wardrobe.
"lets see do you have a preference to pajama's besides the ones you wore earlier? lets see what about this then" He said while holding out a dark blue kimono that would go down mid thigh and was long sleeved
Laurel walked up beside him and took the kimono out of his hands and placed it back in the wardrobe. "my lord where did you learn your clothing at, that is a day kimono, this " she said while pulling out a small white night gown "is a nightgown"
He stared at the silk dress that would also land midthigh. Without a doubt would there be cleavage showing but then again why wouldnt he want her to show hers off.
"you can change behind that screen while I change in here" He told her and she went and quickly threw on the gown.
It flowed over her curves and the silk felt like water on her skin. She waited for the all clear sign from him and slowly came out from behind the screen. He just stared at her, his mouth gaping at her. Laurel's hair was down and the auburn strands strayed past her face, some down her back in lucious waves. The white dress accentated the light tan that she had, and he softly picked her up in his arm and set her on the bed. He stood over her in a proactive stance. He wore only a pair of dark blue hakama's and his pale skin in the firelight gave an eerie glow. An ethereal glow as he got into the bed beside her and pulled her into him. Her backside to his genital area. She molded her body even more against his as he softly nipped her ear.
"Not tonight pet, just sleep" He whispered as he took in one last breath of her aura which changed abruptly, from more of a nervous aura to a relaxed one. SHe relaxed more in his arms and drifted off to sleep.
"I can't let her go, I need her here' he thought to himself as he slowly got up and walked onto the balcony. "Maybe I should try and convince her to stay instead of ordering her around so, but she's an elemental she wouldn't listen to me at all. Exspecially with as much as she likes to be in control, I can smell that coming off of her, and also the fact that her 'dominating' wouldn't be so bad. Not after I claim her that is' he thought and naughty images plagued his mind. Sesshomaru heard the screaming in the other bed chambers down the hall adjacent to his and set up a sound barrier to block it out. All he wanted tonight was for him to get a good nights rest and maybe his inner beast wouldn't do anything stupid tonight.
SOftly he slipped under the sheets beside her and pressed his nose to the junction of her shoulders and collar bone, nuzzling her, his one arm draped around her waist, gently grasping the thin white silk, slowly uncovering her tanned skin. With one last deep breath of her scent he too fell asleep.
That Next Morning
Laurel screamed, and screamed, and screamed. On her hip was a crescent moon tatooed onto it. ANd there was a pair of fang marks on her neck. Sesshomaru came behind the screen from where she was changing, looking half asleep, wondering what was making her scream so.
"Woman I order you to stop screaming" he said as she came out, still halfway in the night gown and pointed to her neck
"What the hell did you do to me?? YOU SAID I WAS JUST A SLAVE" she yelled pointing at the bite marks
His face went paler(if thats even possible) and he came up and softly smelled the bite. They were deffinatly his fangs that made the marks but hopefully...
"ANd WHAT ABOUT THIS" Laurel asked while lifting up the gown up by her hip where the indigo crescent moon was.
He looked at her increduously. 'There is no way, I know I didn't mate her but...' he thought as he looked into the deep recesses of his mind to find a tamer, happy inner beast which meant that it had taken a mate.
He came back into reality to see Laurel raving and ranting. Screaming and crying at the same time. "DO you know what this means. I can't be..." she yelled then he kissed her to silence her.
"I Know exactly what it means pet. And I don't now if I like it either, but then again you can't leave me now" he said and she backhanded him
He looked at her with fury in his eyes but that calmed when he saw the tears streaming down her face. Softly he wiped them away with his thumb, while his other hand. WAIT HIS OTHER HAND??? he stared at the limb wondering if this was all just a dream, but the pain he had just expierienced should have woken him up.
"Look what you did to me before you say anything else about what I did to you" he told her as he kissd her forehead. "Since when is healing an element??"
"ALways, what did you do to me after I fell asleep" She asked him wondering if something was still intact
"I mated you only partway" Sesshomaru stated as he took a sniff "But I didn't take your virginity. Meet me in the throne room later, that way I can introduce you to your people, my Lady of the West." He said as he threw on his armor and left the room. She grabbed the blue kimono from last night and put it on. Then she combed her hair out and put it up in a messy bun.
The blue kimono stopped midthigh and had long, billowing sleeves. White silk adorned the edges and it had a white silk belt that went with it. Overall on her it gave the impression that she had longer legs and curvier hips. Slowly Laurel walked to the throne room, waiting to seal her fate as the new Lady of the Western Lands.
THe doors opened and she slowly walked over to her mate. Why me, she thought why why why why why' In the room a few of the older advisors were gathered as she softly walked towards her lord. She came as quietly as she could and when she neared him he grabed her and pulled her in front of him. His hands clasping around her waist, his nose nuzzling his fang marks.
"act like you are deeply in love with me and then I wont have to show them that this was a mistake. If they think it was an accident then you are doomed to many dull, mundane tasks to prove that you can be my mate. Plus if you act it, it will give us time to figure out how to undo the damage." He whispered in her ear. To anyone who didn't hear what he said It looked like he was whispering sweet nothings.
" fine my love" she whispered back as she put on the act and softly clasped her hands around his and tilted her neck to the side, giving him access to kiss.
"kaname, Zerodyme, Shiomi, Kain, and Aido, I would like to formally introduce my mate. Lady Laurel" He announced, letting her go only for enough time for her to curtsy before sitting down and pulling her into his lap, her legs draped over the side of his chair, her hand on his chest.
"It's a pleasure to meet you milady. WHen we heard that our Lord had taken a life mate, we were taken off gaurd and just had to see this stunning woman ourselves." Aido said. He was tall with platinum blode hair in a shaggy cut. Fangs protruded from his mouth as he spoke.
Jaken entered and brought everyone a drink, Aido's was blood she could tell by the scent. Jaken came by her and whipered "My Lord whats with the bitch" in a snotty tone.
"May I my Lord??" She asked inquisitivly
"It's either you do it or I would" He replied and she shot Jaken an evil grin. Slowly she lifted up her hands
"Winds of Fury hear my pleas bring this idiot to his knees" she chanted as a burst of rain drenched wind soaked Jake thouroughly.
"Earth wind and air, get this toad out of our hair, send him far away, or just with Rin so she can play" she chanted again in a melodic voice. Jaken disapeered after the spell.
The advisors jst stared at her for a second. Sesshomaru kissed her forehead and they all heard Jakens screams of terror heard out in that garden and a huge bang as he was hit in the head.
"Well there goes asking how powerful you are milady" Shiomi stated, his purple hair was in a bob cut and the cape he wore covered the tail of a wolf demon.
"Darling I thought you didnt need chants to use your powers" Sesshomaru aked her as he brought her hand from his chest to his lips, kissing the palm.
"Well my lord, I don't need to use the chants but they install more terror into the subject if they have a foreshadowing of what is bound to happen" Laurel explained looking up into his eyes.
"My LOrd, you have caught quite a catch and so we will leave you and your mate alone for now. Just remember to finish the ceremony before tomorrow night. Nice act you two, it may have fooled us for a while but then again, mind reading does it all" Zerodyme replied to them and the other advisors nodded and left.
"YOU LEFT YOUR MIND OPEN?!?!" she asked, angerly. She got up off of him and lightning sparked from her fingers
"Looks like we hae less then a day to find our way out of this before you seriously become the Lady of The WEstern lands, before technically I have to impregnate you or at least do the acts to. And unless you want that to happen then you need to get to the library NOW and begin looking up any way or spell out of this." He said as he got up and left her in the dust.
'Lets see, I guess I will need to unseal myself now and ascend to Avalon but wait, the full moon is over SHIT' She thought to eerself as she rushed down the hallways and into the library
