Mizuki stared blankly ahead. She had awoken not long ago, her whole body throbbing with pain. Someone had dressed and cleaned her while she slept, and laid her on the bed with a blanket. The actions were thoughtful she supposed, but she didn't care. All she wanted was to get away from this place. She knew if she stayed, the same horrible thing would happen.
However, when she had made her way painfully to the door and attempted to open it, a spark of energy had burned her arm.
Now she sat against the far wall, doing her best to block out everything. Her knees were pulled up tight to her chest with just enough room for her to cradle her injured arm against her breast. She hurt terribly sitting on the hard floor, but she just couldn't bring herself to go back to the bed. If she did, she was sure she would only become sick with the memories of what the demon had done to her next to it.
She was so focused on trying to blank everything out, that she didn't hear the door open.
"You shouldn't be on the floor."
Mizuki flinched violently at the sudden male voice next to her. Fearing what he might have come for, she cowered away from the direction of his voice without looking at him.
"Come now, little one. I haven't come to hurt you."
The voice was low and calming, but Mizuki had no trust in anyone anymore. When arms wrapped around her in a way suggesting he would pick her up, she turned quickly to slap his touch away.
At least, that was her intention. The quick movement, however, made her dizzy and lightheaded, and she was reminded that it had been too long since she had last eaten.
The man obviously knew what was afflicting her as she fell weakly against his hold. "Whoa there. Just be still and allow me to take you to the bed. Then I will send someone to fetch you something to eat."
At the mention of the bed, she flinched. She didn't want to be anywhere near that part of the room again. She mustered all her meager strength and weakly struggled against his hold. "No." she protested. Her voice caught on a sob. Crying only made her lightheadedness worse, but she couldn't help herself.
The man ignored her feeble struggles and pulled her face against his chest gently. "Shhh. It's alright. Calm down and listen to me." His voice took on a more gentle tone, soothing in its softness.
Why should she listen to him? It wasn't as if she would believe anything he told her. However, it wasn't long before the last of her strength dwindled and she could do no more than lean limply against him.
"There's a good girl." He softly stroked her hair as he continued in a low voice. "Now, tell me what you didn't like about what I said. Do you not want to eat?"
Mizuki shook her head once, denying that as what was wrong.
"Then you don't wish to be comfortable?" he asked, his voice seemingly genuinely confused.
Mizuki shook her head again and sniffled. "Not…there…" she pleaded softly. There was several moments of silence after her plea and she began to fear he would ignore her, and force the issue.
"Is it a bed in general you have an aversion to, or just this one?"
Why did he keep asking her questions? Why couldn't he just take a hint and leave her be? "…this one."
"Hn." There was another moment of silence before he moved, gathering her against his chest. She started to panic again, but his next words calmed her a bit. "Very well. I will take you to another."
Mizuki relaxed in surprise and finally looked up at the man carrying her, but quickly realized he was no man. His deep red hair and emerald eyes gave away his demon blood. She stiffened at this realization, but had no strength to fight him any longer.
"Don't start fighting me again. I don't want to risk injurying your arm further." He said, not looking down. When he said that she looked down at her arm which still throbbed with pain. He had picked her up so the side that was injured faced away from him, and the arm around her back was angled so his hand supported her side instead of wrapping around her arm. I seemed like he took care to make sure he wouldn't hurt her, but it couldn't have been intentional. Why should he care if she was hurt after what was already done to her?
Weary with pain, hunger, and fear she limply leaned against him again, allowing him to take her where he wanted without any further protest.
Moments later she jolted awake as he shifted her in his arms. She looked in front of them and saw him opening one of a set of double doors. He stepped inside, closing the doors behind them and moved to the giant bed off to the side.
Mizuki tensed at the sight of such a grand chamber. There were thick furs all around the room, covering the floor and several zaisu which were set around a chabudai on the opposite side of the room as the bed. Beautiful tapestries hung on the walls, depicting wonderful views of mountains and fields, and across the room from the door was an open balcony with thick billowing drapes that were pulled back. A chamber this fancy could only belong to one person in this castle.
(A/N: A chabudai is a traditional Japanese short legged table. A zaisu is a legless chair used to sit at these tables usually covered with a zabutan, or a cushion for sitting. This information comes from google and wikipedia)
As she was laid on the bed, propped up against the pillows, she whimpered in fear and tried rolling away from the demon next to her, but a hand against her shoulder pushed her back down against the pillows.
"Don't move, little one. I've already been more than accommodating."
Mizuki twitched at his words. She complied, for now, not wanting to anger him. It wasn't as if she could get away from a demon anyway. She kept her face turned away, though, not wanting to look at him.
"Why did you bring her here?"
Mizuki jumped at the new voice, and her gaze jerked in his direction. Her whole body became rigid with fear at the sight of the silver haired demon. The warning to stay still was over shadowed by the overwhelming instinct to flee. Fear gave her exhausted, pained body new strength and with a small cry of terror she jerked away from the hand on her shoulder. Dizziness made her frantic flight blind as she scrambled away, but she didn't make it very far.
Two arms wrapped around her and pulled her back into a solid chest. One firmly held her around the waist, while the other gripped the elbow of her injured arm just high enough that he wouldn't touch the burn on her forearm. His grip was firm, even as she violently struggled to free herself, and his hand holding her arm kept it immobile in the air. Through her blind panic, she could faintly hear the red haired demon speak calmly above her.
"Sesshomaru, would you ask a servant to fetch the healer and a meal for our companion?"
His calm, low voice was almost more terrifying than if he had yelled at her for defying him. She felt him lean further into her and another sob worked its way up her throat.
"Calm down, little one. You're only going to make yourself sick." He whispered in her ear.
Mizuki turned her face away from him, straining to get as much distance between them as possible, but he simply moved closer, keeping his cool lips against her ear. "We're going to stay like this until you calm down." He said. "Though I don't think you have the strength to keep fighting much longer."
True to his words, he kept her held immobile until what little strength fear had fed into her body diminished. She was left crying weakly against him, her breaths panting and irregular with her sobs, and she closed her eyes to try shutting everything out once again.
"Good girl."
The demon relaxed his hold, but instead of releasing her, shifted their positions. He pulled her around and into his lap so she was sitting sideways with her injured arm opposite his body. One of his arms supported her back and wrapped around under her arm to rest on her side, holding her in place but being careful of her arm. His other hand stroked her hair as she lay against him crying. Despite his supposed gentleness, she kept waiting for them to simply push her down on the bed and force her like before.
"You called, Milords?"
"Once the healer has looked at your injury you may eat. Behave, little one." The demon whispered to her.
Mizuki nodded tiredly, her tears slowing. She wasn't sure she even had the strength to eat, much less fight them any longer.
"See to her arm." He said louder, presumably to the healer he'd spoken of.
Soft footsteps approached the bed, but instead of reaching for Mizuki's arm, the female spoke to the demon holding her.
"Is this not a slave, My Lord? Is it really necessary to treat it? I'm sure it is perfectly capable of performing its duties with such a small burn." The voice purred out, not even referring to Mizuki as a being.
Mizuki cowered slightly at her words, but when she heard a swift rustle of clothing and a pained feminine gasp, she turned her head slightly to see what happened. She jolted back in surprise at the sight of the silver haired demon again, but his attention was on the female demon standing before the bed. He stood next to her, his face blank, and though he looked completely relaxed, his clawed hand was in the females' hair in what looked like a painful grip.
"You forget your place, Aya. Do not think because you spread your legs for us once you have leave to question us." He said in a cold unhurried voice.
"Y-yes…My Lord." The female gasped out. When he released her, she slowly turned her attention to Mizuki. The angry look in her eyes scared her, as well as the silver demons continued presence. He watched the female closely as she examined Mizuki's burns.
Mizuki trembled at her touch, but a moment later she felt a cool, healing aura surround the injured skin. Slowly, the throbbing in her arm receded, and the redness faded. It was a slow process, but finally the female released her and stepped away. Mizuki stared at her arm, blinking in awe. The demon behind her reached for her hand, and gently pulled it up closer to him to inspect it himself. After a moment she felt him nod above her.
Mizuki looked up just in time to see the silver haired demon reach up and slap the demoness as she tried to pass him. Mizuki jumped, wide eyed with surprise as the female fell to the floor with a soft cry of pain.
"Do not show such disrespect again." He said shortly before turning to the chabudai to sit.
"Yes, My Lord. I'm sorry." The female said tearfully, rising to leave, but the red haired demons voice stopped her.
"Aya." Mizuki jerked in surprise at the cold note which entered his voice, and moved fearfully against him, but the arm around her back raised to stroke her hair lightly, keeping her against him. "It is usually customary to give your apology to those you offended." He reprimanded.
The demoness flinched and slowly turned back to the bed. "I'm sorry, My Lord."
"I don't believe I am the only other one whom your words insulted."
Mizuki was once again left in shock. Why…did he care if someone insulted her?
"I'm…sorry." The female said tightly after a moment of silence.
"Hn." The demon let her stand waiting a few moments before waving her away. Just as she reached the door, he spoke again. "Aya." When she turned to look at him again, he spoke in a soft dangerous voice. "Do not show yourself in our presence again unless we call for you."
Her eyes widened in fear, and she bowed deeply before rushing out of the room just as servants arrived with trays of food.
The whole exchange confused Mizuki greatly, but as the smell of cooked meat reached her all she could think of was finally being able to eat.
The servants silently set the three trays of food on the chabudai across the room, and finished by placing yet another tray with a steaming tea pot in the center.
"That woman is becoming increasingly annoying." The demon behind her said evenly, waiting until the servants had left. He lifted her into his arms again as he rose and walked towards the table. He set her down on one of the four sides next to the other demon, then moved to sit across from him so one of them was on either side of her. She braced herself unsteadily against the edge of the table to keep from falling over, and kept her eyes trained fearfully on the silver haired demon to the side.
"Hn." He grunted at the red haired demons words, and all but ignored her as he lifted a pair of chopsticks and began eating.
"Would you like help, little one?"
Mizuki's gaze jerked to the other side at his words and for the first time got a good look at him. His body was turned so he faced her with his side to the table, and he was leaning his head against the arm he had propped next to his tray. His kimono hung loosely to the sides exposing his chest. His hair was a beautiful deep red pulled over his shoulder in a loose ponytail, with his bangs hanging long on the opposite side of his face. There were two tear looking marks by the corners of his emerald green eyes. They were dark blue, one set lower than the other and the tips extending up to touch the corners of his eyes. In any other situation she would have thought him breathtaking.
"N-no…thank you…" she replied softly to his question, and looked down at the tray of food in front of her. There was a steaming bowl of rice, and next to it a bowl of what looked like beef stew. There was also a thick slice of bread and a cup for the tea which sat in the middle of the table. She reached for the chopsticks next to her rice, glancing nervously at the silver haired demon. She was still scared beyond belief, but hunger won out and made her attempt to appease it. As she tried lifting some rice to her mouth, however, her hand began to tremble uncontrollably, dropping the grains on the tray. Fresh tears sprang to her eyes as she tried again, but her hunger was so great that she couldn't stop her hands from trembling so she could feed herself.
"Mamoru."
Mizuki jumped and looked fearfully at the silver haired demon when he spoke, but he wasn't even looking at her. His gaze was kept on his own meal as he continued eating.
"Hmmm. Why don't you try helping her this time, Sesshomaru. Let her see your 'gentle' side."
"She would likely faint from fright."
"I suppose that's true."
Mizuki looked between the two demons with wide eyes. The silver haired demon continued to eat, seemingly uninterested in the conversation or the company as the other rose from his seat and moved to sit behind Mizuki. She cringed away as he sat behind her and wrapped an arm around her again. His other reached for the shaking chopsticks in her hand.
"Let me help you. You see too weak just yet to do so on your own." He said calmly, ignoring her reaction.
"Why?" she asked softly, unable to keep her confusion at bay any longer.
"Why what, little one?" he asked as he expertly used the chopsticks to bring rice to her mouth.
"Why are you doing so much for me?"
His hand paused in midair for a moment, and then pushed gently against her lips. She hesitantly opened her mouth to accept the rice, and closed her eyes blissfully at the first taste of food in so long.
"Hn." He seemed to be thinking of his answer as he continued to feed her slowly. Soon, she lost the strength to even sit up on her own, and was once again leaning back against his chest.
"What is your name?"
She flinched at the silver haired demons voice. This was the first time he spoke directly to her, but after watch him earlier and what he did to her before, she was too scared to just ignore it. "…Mizuki…" she said softly.
"Beautiful moon." The demon behind her said. "I like it. My name is Mamoru, and this is Sesshomaru."
Mizuki nodded, but stayed silent, unsure what response he wanted from the introduction.
"I'm sure you've already realized that we are the ones who purchased you?" As he spoke, he continued feeding her, now lifting bits of meat and potatoes from the stew to her lips. The hearty food was heavenly to her empty stomach, but she could barely remember the taste as she focused on his words. "Suffice it to say, that your...circumstance of being here has changed somewhat. Soon, we will know just how much, but we can discuss that when that time comes. You'll need your strength, for one, and also I prefer those in my company not hate me."
His answer did nothing but confuse her more. What did he mean her 'circumstance changed'?
"W-what-" she turned her head to question him further, but jerked back to the demon he called Sesshomaru as he spoke up.
"You should have died yesterday when I took you. Mamoru will use you when his heat comes in the next couple of days. Should you survive again, we will call for a blood demon to verify your bloodline." He words were unhurried, but she could hear a note of underlying impatience.
The blood drained from her face, making her lightheaded for a completely different reason from earlier. As she stiffened and froze against him, the one named Mamoru spoke up.
"You could have explained a bit more delicately, Sesshomaru. Now she'll only be frightened again."
"She can remain frightened, or she can accept the situation. Other slaves are hardly given such a chance."
His words sent a sudden spark of anger through her and she found herself speaking before she could stop herself. "Am I supposed to be grateful that you raped me and will continue to do so?"
Sesshomaru finally looked at her, his amber eyes clashing with her suddenly fierce dark ones. However, it was Mamoru who answered her angry question.
He set the chopsticks down and with a single clawed finger under her chin, made her turn to face him. She whimpered a bit at the anger in his eyes and tried to pull away, but he simply curled his finger more so his claw dug painfully into her skin.
"Any other slave would be happy to take your place, so, in a sense, yes, you should. Because of this, you will have the comfort and security of being under our personal protection the rest of your life. You'll never go hungry again, nor have to worry about money." His low tone softened a bit as he continued, shifting his hand to cup her cheek to use his thumb to wipe at the tear sliding down it. "As Sesshomaru said, you can accept it, or remain frightened. If you accept it, you will be all the more happier, and we can try to be gentle with you."
Mizuki closed her eyes, not answering. She didn't know what to think anymore. She admitted to herself that she did prefer him being gentle and kind as he had been, but fear was not so easily dispelled. After a moment of silence, he released her with a sigh.
"Come, you should eat a bit more. You're far too skinny to be healthy." He said, changing the subject.
Mizuki wrapped her arms tightly around herself, but opened her eyes to accept more food.
Sesshomaru watched them silently for a moment before standing.
"Sesshomaru?"
"I have work to do." He said shortly, and silently walked out.
"Hmm." Mamoru said nothing to this, just continued to feed her until she simply couldn't fit anymore inside her stomach. As he tried lifting another bite to her mouth, she turned her face away.
"Please…I'm…full." She said softly.
"Very well." He said. He set the chopsticks down and lifted her again as he stood.
As he walked to the door, she clenched her hands. "Where…" she started to ask.
"I also have other things to do. I'm taking you to another chamber to rest. You'll forgive me if I do not trust you to stay in our bedchamber alone." He explained.
Mizuki looked away. Now that her belly was full, fatigue overwhelmed her. As long as he didn't take her to that other chamber again, she didn't really care where he took her. He only walked a couple of feet down the hallway before opening a door. Mizuki relaxed, and as he lay her out on the bed and covered her with a blanket, she was already drifting to sleep.
