Onigumo was stunned were had things gone wrong? Why hadn't she fallen for him, he had been sweet, kind, caring and romantic? He had even tried a love potion or two, but the only result he got was making her sick. He decided to reply, "For me, there will only ever be you I will love no one else. You know once there were arranged marriages and love came with intimate activities and caring for each other over the years."
He sighed when she looked at him oddly Naomi replied, "I am sorry Onigumo I know you said we had been intimate before the accident, but I can't do such a thing without feelings for you. This is hard for me I do care for you but in a family way as if you were my brother or very dear friend."
Onigumo decided to plan B it he sat down saying, "Alright" he put a folder containing her medical bills before adding, "How about you take Sango's job and instead of being paid we put the salary towards your medical bills. Once paid off you will be free to leave which will take about three years provided you don't continue to get sick."
Naomi replied, "I hadn't meant for Sango to lose her job because of me."
Onigumo replied, "Don't worry about Sango I will make sure she has a place to go and a recommendation for employment from me."
Naomi nodded as Onigumo called Sango in over the intercom. Once she was in the office, he said, "Sango I regret to inform you that it's not going to work out between Naomi and I. She wishes to work off her debt to me, but I have no need for two housekeepers. So I will have to let you go." He gave her several papers adding, "I have included a recommendation, a map that has the apartment I set up for you and several friends that would gladly give you a position. Also in the envelope is your severance pay so that you will live in comfort until your first paycheck."
Sango nodded her head in understanding before saying, "I can be out by tonight sir. It won't take long if you would be so kind as to drive me to the apartment. I would be very grateful."
Onigumo nodded and once Sango was ready he took her to the apartment he had arranged. He had plans to lock down the house and put a barrier over the yard. Naomi was never going to leave him and the soon she accepted it the sooner she'd try to love him. Once Sango was at her new apartment that came furnished she unpacked saying, "Tell Naomi I will miss her and that she's welcome to stay with me once she has paid her debt to you."
Onigumo smiled at the human saying, "Don't worry Sango I will let her know." He turned and left returning to home his law practice was successful enough that he didn't need to work except for special cases. As he went into the house, he pushed a button that put a barrier up that would only prevent Naomi from leaving the property. He smiled at her in a way that sent chills down his spine before he said to her "There we go now you are my prisoner with no hope of escape. The sooner you accept that we are to be married the sooner you will get your freedom."
Naomi stood there shocked before attempting to leave only to find that she could go no further than the property line. It didn't matter what door she went out of she was trapped with him. Onigumo grinned as the realization hit her he softly said, "You are due to go into heat soon my dear, and this time there will be no medicines to aid you. Your only hope for relief will be to mate with me. So that you know I will pup you if you come to me and then we will be bound to each other forever."
Naomi was both stunned, and shocked tears were streaming down her cheeks she managed to get out, "But why?"
Onigumo smiled saying, "I want you Naomi and I always get what I want one way or another. You will be mine that is what I paid for, and that is what I will get. Just so that you know, no one outside the property line can see or hear you. The phones will not work, and anytime I sense that you are in heat I will be here naked as the day I was born waiting for you to beg me to help you."
Naomi then realized that this wasn't a good man the past five years had been an act trying to woo her. He had just admitted to paying to get her. He had bought her but who had sold her? It wasn't likely her family would have sold her to this man anyone who cared for her would have seen through his act. Perhaps her family was poor and couldn't afford a dowry and when this man offered to pay to take her the offer was too good to pass up. She had to figure a way out of this mess. The only thing she could think of was staying in the backyard as much as she could. The barrier prevented her from using the front yard. She spent that night in her room thinking if he went to work she could write notes asking for help.
Ten years passed and not once did he leave he did all his work from home and anytime she was in heat he'd walk around naked. It certainly was tempting he was quite handsome, but she kept having migraines with flashes of silver that would help her through the heat cycle. The pain from an intense headache always seemed to override her need of a male to help her through her heat.
