Chapter 12: He is Shiro's mate.
Shiro stared at the huge dog demon, known as her mother.
Yuro was coming up behind her with an apologetic expression.
Soon, many more dog demons were coming.
" Shiro, move away from him." Rin said.
Shiro looked over at Naraku, who was staring at them, unsure of what to do.
" Shiro, now." Sesshomaru came beside Rin.
Shiro looked at her parents, then back at Naraku, and stood in front of him, " No."
" Shiro, you don't know who he is." Rin said.
" No, YOU don't know who he is, you've been living in the past so long, you don't know that he's changed, whatever he's done in the past, he hates himself for, and you're going to kill him to live with that regret?" Shiro said.
Rin was clearly shocked, but wouldn't let Naraku stay alive.
" Stand aside Shiro." Rin said again.
Shiro's eyes glew red, and she transformed, she wasn't as big as all the others, but she could look more fierce in her dog form. "No." She growled again.
" If you are going to kill him, then I am going to kill myself." Shiro said.
" Shiro, enough." Naraku said, walking in front of her.
" Naraku, what have you done to her?" Rin asked.
" I have not done anything, if you really insist on killing me, go ahead, have your revenge." Naraku said.
Rin was hesitant, she looked over at Shiro who was pleading in her eyes. She meant what she said, threatening to kill herself.
" Shiro, we need to talk." Rin said, and the clan walked off, Rin following them.
Shiro slowly followed them.
Rin and Sesshomaru stopped a few miles away, the clan returning home.
" Shiro, what are you thinking?" Rin asked.
" I love him, and I can't stop it." Shiro said.
Rin looked at Sesshomaru who looked at her.
She then sighed.
" I never thought that..."
" What?" Shiro asked.
" You have chosen your mate?" Rin asked.
Shiro looked down, a mate? Her parents had taught her about them, whoever the dog demon chooses as a mate, lives with them forever, you would protect them with your very lives. Naraku wasn't a dog demon like Rin and Sesshomaru, who had fallen in love.
She looked back up at her parents and nodded.
Rin sighed, " All these years, you managed to change him."
" He changed himself." Shiro said.
" Well, if he is your mate, then we can't do anything, I guess he is welcome to the pack, but! He must keep his distance." Sesshomaru said.
Shiro sighed, but nodded.
" Then, let's go home." Rin said.
" Ok, I'll be right behind you." Shiro said.
They nodded, and took off.
Shiro sighed again while making her human form.
She had chosen her mate, without even thinking about it.
She went back over to where Naraku was.
" They won't hurt you anymore." Shiro said.
Naraku nodded.
" I have something to tell you." Shiro said as she walked up to him.
" What?" He asked, when his arms wrapped around her.
" I have chosen you, as my mate." Shiro said.
Naraku thought about those words.
All his life, since Rin was born, he wanted her to be his.
He was selfish and cruel, thinking of all the things he wanted to do with that girl, and just to imagine what Shiro would feel...
Naraku let go of her backing away.
" What's wrong?" Shiro asked.
" You can't choose me, I'm not...Good." Naraku said.
Shiro smiled, " You're good to me, I have seen nothing but good in you."
" Shiro, please, I don't want to ruin your life. I don't want to hurt you." Naraku said.
Shiro walked up to him, hugging him tightly, she could tell he was in pain, of what he did in the past.
She knew that this was hurting him, but... He was just living in the past, he had to let go, and start a new life.
" Naraku, if you love me... You won't leave me." Shiro said, pulling back to look at him.
" Shiro." He whispered her name.
" Never?" Shiro asked.
" Never." Naraku replied, and he kissed her.
This was what love felt like, he enjoyed it, sweet, gentle.
" Wait." Shiro stopped him. " We'll finish this later, we have to head back." She said.
" Race you back." She said, turning into a dog and running off.
" Yeah, right." Naraku said, and he was off in a blur.
Shiro was running pretty fast, jumping over the bushes.
She looked behind her a couple times to see if Naraku was there, no.
She smiled.
When she was back at where they had first met, she stopped, turning again trying to spot him, or catch his scent.
" naraku?" She called out.
" It's about time you got here." Naraku's voice came behind her.
When she turned, Naraku was leaning against the tree he had been resting against when she first saw him.
She made her human form, and rolled her eyes.
" Yeah, how did you get here so fast?" Shiro asked.
" Super speed." He said.
" Yeah, I used that too. Now if you don't mind. I need to get back home." Shiro said.
She walked past him, about to leap over the bushes, when a blurry figure came in front of her, and soon, she was trapped to the tree with Naraku before her.
" You ready to leave me already?" He asked.
She gasped out a breath.
" No."
" Shiro." He whispered.
" Hmm?" She almost moaned out.
" I love you." He said.
" I kinda figured that." She whispered.
" You said you wanted to finish something?" Naraku asked.
Shiro smiled, " Finish what? I forgot."
Naraku smiled at her joke, " Let me refresh your memory."
Shiro smiled when she felt his hands on her bare shoulders as he slowly moved her sleeves down.
Her white Kimono fell freely to the ground.
As soon as her body was bare, he pressed her against the tree, his body covering hers.
" Are you ready, Shiro?" Naraku asked.
" Yes." She whispered.
He laid her down in the grass.
He removed his kimono.
When he kissed her, everything felt perfect, he felt like a new person. If only his red eyes could make him LOOK like a different person.
This was who he was meant to be with, and this time, instead of having the desire of ruling the dog demon clan, he only wanted the desire to be with her.
" Naraku." Shiro whispered, as she shuddered at his sensitive touches.
Throughout the night, they slept together, in peace, in hapiness, in love...
A/N: Well, this sucked didn't it?
These past four or five chapters obviously have nothing to do with the summary.
Oh well, writers do seem to take a different turn when they get deeper into the story.
Please tell me what you think.
Like it? I'll put an ending chapter.
Hate it? I'll end it right here and mark it as complete.
Leave some reviews.
Thanks.
