Chapter Eleven: Avoidance
Flame awoke the next day to the realization that she had cried during the night. Washing her face in the basin in the washroom, she remembered her dreams. She had dreamed of Sesshomaru and their current situation. She remembered his voice telling her how much he loved her and a needle of pain shot through her heart. Wiping away the fresh tears, the woman straightened and got dressed. Why did her subconscious torture her so?
As she got dressed, Flame decided it would be best to avoid Sesshomaru for today. She didn't want the attraction to grow. At least today was the last day of her period. If she could hold out, she would just have to travel with him to the witch youkai. Dressed in a red and white traveling kimono, Flame made her way down to the dining room.
To her relief, the room was empty except for a few servant youkai. Sitting at the end of the table, she waited to be served breakfast. A black haired, purple eyed female youkai gave her a baleful look before approaching. “What do you wish of me?” she hissed, anger dripping from her voice.
“Erm, just some breakfast please,” she requested, recoiling from the enraged demon.
“As you wish... mistress,” she snarled icily, before walking off.
Feeling a bit out of place as well as unwelcome, Flame considered just going back to her room. It seemed like the servants were steadily becoming even more hostile than before. Her suspicions became justified when her food was thrown down in front of her. The youkai female glared at her, as if daring her to say anything. Meekly, Flame ate her food, avoiding eye contact.
After she was finished, she looked at the youkai staring at her. “Why do you seem to hate me so much?” she asked quietly.
“Humans are mere filth to us youkai. Its bad enough that Lord Sesshomaru brought that loud brat here, now he has a human wanton,” she hissed, narrowing her eyes. Flame's eyes went wide. They thought that she was Sesshomaru's whore?! Face flaring in embarrassment and rage, Flame pushed away from the long table and ran out to the garden. Tears streaming down her cheeks, she ran to a cherry tree and placed her forehead against the cool bark. It hurt even worse to know they thought that she was a whore.
Punching the hard tree, the enraged female yelped in pain. Growling through clenched teeth, she held her now bleeding hand against her kimono top. That hadn't been very smart. Unwilling to go inside, Flame slid to the ground. Unfortunately she wasn't alone for long. To her dismay she saw Sesshomaru striding towards her. Holding her injured hand to her chest. Flame backed away from the approaching youkai and assessed her options. Finally she broke into a run in the opposite direction out of desperation. She knew he would catch her easily but all she wanted to do was run.
The smell of her blood had reached all the way into his study, making him drop what he had been doing. Concerned that one of the youkai in his castle had harmed her, he had hurried to where the scent led. To his relief she didn't look harmed other than her hand. Moving forward, he noticed her backing away from him. Frowning slightly, he noticed she smelled of fear. Wondering why she was suddenly afraid of him, he moved forward again. To his shock and irritation, she ran from him. In five seconds he had a hold of her.
Flame flailed uselessly, trying to get away from the western lord. It was like struggling against a steel beam. After a few moments, she gave up with a sigh. Her traitorous body had a sudden jolt of arousal from he breath on her neck as he held her tight. “Why did you run from this Sesshomaru?” he growled coldly.
“Please, I'm okay. I just need to go to my room and bandage it,” she whimpered, slightly intimidated by his hard, amber gaze. His eyes bored into her mercilessly as he gently took hold of her injured hand.
“Let me see,” he said, his voice hard.
Cautiously, Flame let Sesshomaru take her still bleeding hand. Her knuckles were badly scrapes and dribbling slowly. Slowly, Sesshomaru brought the hand up to his face. As she watched he gently began to lick her wounds. Wincing slightly, Flame tried to pull her hand away only have a soft growl reach her ears. His grip on her hand tightened as he slowly lathed his tongue over each small wound. Blushing, Flame realized that each lap of his tongue made a shock of arousal go through her. Soon she was panting a bit and blushing as his eyes rose to meet hers. The white was slightly tinged pink and his amber orbs were a molten honey color.
Growling so soft it could almost be a purr, Sesshomaru pulled her closer by the hand he was holding. Pressing his body flush against hers, Flame realized that she could feel his arousal against her. Blushing even more as her own arousal rose, she tried to pull away out of embarrassment. This only earned her a low growl as the taiyoukai pulled her closer. Slowly he released her hand and to her surprise she saw her wounds had healed.
A gentle rumble coming from his chest, Sesshomaru sniffed at her neck. Stiffening, Flame swallowed as she felt his tongue brush against her neck. “L-lord S-sesshomaru,” she whimpered, shaking slightly. As much as her body wanted this, she didn't. Though she craved to have him take her right now, she knew she would never forgive herself. She was a virgin, wanting her first time to be with the man she would be with for the rest of her life. As much as she may wish for it, the western lord would never be that man.
“Please, let me go,” she whispered, arousal still pulsing in her loins.
“Why, I can smell your arousal. You want this,” he purred lustily into her ear as he nipped her neck. Flame moaned softly at the light nip, leaning her head back submissively. 'I do want this. I really do,' she thought to herself as she bordered on giving in to her body.
“N-no! Please! I know this is just from your instincts. Lord Sesshomaru, I know you don't want to mate a human!” she yelled, trying to squirm away. Even as she struggled to get away, her body cried for him to never let her go.
Sesshomaru growled low in his throat as he tightened his one arm around her. He could clearly smell that she wanted him. That and her heat were fogging his mind. Slowly, though, he could smell fear starting to seep through the arousal. Loosening his hold on her, he stepped back.
Flame nearly collapsed in relief as the youkai backed away. Slowly, the white returned to his eyes and he was looking at her neutrally. “Forgive my behavior. Your scent is stronger on the last day of your heat. It might be best or us both if we avoided each other,” he stated before he stalked off. She stood there for a few minutes, shaking like a leaf. Then she slid to her knees on the plush grass as her eyes filled with tears. Why did her body keep betraying her like this? Why did she have to be attracted to him so much? Why did her heart ache for his acceptance? She didn't want any of these feelings!
With a quiet sob, she ran up to her room and shut her door. Collapsing on her silk covered bed, she sobbed in sorrow. She didn't care if the whole castle heard her cries, all she wanted was an outlet for her feelings. Memories of the show ran through her mind along with several fanfics she had read. All of them were about the amber eyed lord. None of this helped ease her pain. A quiet knock shocked her out of her sobbing and she sat up. “Come in.' she said as neutrally as possible, wiping her eyes.
The oak door slowly swung open to admit Rin. “Why are you crying Flame-chan?” the small child asked, concern all over her face.
“Don't worry about it Rin. I was just being silly I guess,” she replied somberly, sighing. The brown haired girl hopped up onto the bed and gave Flame a hug. Smiling, she gently returned the hug, her black hair falling in her face. Brushing her hair back, the older woman pulled back from Rin and smiled sadly.
“Lets go out and play some ball,” Rin suggested, smiling brightly. Flame couldn't help but return the smile and nod. Giggling musically, the young child led the older woman back out the garden.
Flame sat under a nearby cherry tree, watching as the child ran to a small shed beside the koi pond. Rin soon came back with a small, red ball. With a laugh, Rin tossed the ball at Flame. Flame caught the ball with ease. Smiling, she rolled the ball back and stood up. Running with her arms out to her sides, Rin circled behind the ball and kicked it. Soon the two of them were kicking the red ball all around the garden. They ran until they both collapsed into giggling piles on the grass.
Rin grasped Flame's hand in hers, giggling breathlessly. “Flame, will you stay here and be my Okasan?” the child asked innocently. That stopped Flame's laughter cold. Looking into the child's wide, brown eyes; she was finding it hard to say no.
“I'm sorry Rin. I just don't belong here,” she replied, as Rin's eyes filled with tears.
“But why?! Lord Sesshomaru brought you here so you must be here for a reason!” Rin yelled, tears starting to fill her eyes.
“Rin, sweetie, I don't think Lord Sesshomaru likes me in that way,” Flame replied as she sat up.
“No, I'm sure he likes you! I'll go ask him!” The upset child shouted as she ran inside.
Flame watched the child's retreating back with an expression of horror. When Sesshomaru heard of this she would be in a lot of trouble. With no further thought, she ran. She ran until she reached the back yards, where the stables stood. With no other thought than to escape was in her mind as she got on Ah-Un and rode him away. The placid beast obeyed her without question as he flew her far from the palace. Once the two headed dragon was out of sight of the castle, Flame instructed him to land.
She had to think. She had nowhere to go other than back to the palace or die out in the wilderness. Suddenly, Inuyasha's gang came to mind. She could travel with them and Kagome would probably be able to lend her more clothes. She was getting sick of wearing the kimonos. As she was thinking she saw a ball of light heading in her direction. As she watched it approach, she remembered that Sesshomaru could change into such a light ball in the show. Paling considerably, she got on Ah-Un and urged him to take off.
No matter how fast the mount went, the ball of light was catching up quickly. Realizing it would make it easier on her if she gave in, she landed Ah-Un again. As she got off the dragon, Sesshomaru landed and was glaring down at her. “Come,” he bit out, voice as hard as steel. The very air around him fairly crackled as his aura flared with anger. Reluctantly, Flame led Ah-Un towards the imposing youkai. Sesshomaru grabbed her hard, crushing her against his side.
As his cloud rose into the sky, he glared down at her. “Where were you going to go?” he asked icily.
“Er I uh... Maybe Inuyasha...,” she started until he squeezed her so hard it hurt.
“You will never talk of going to the hanyou again. You are mine,” he snarled, his sharp nails beginning to cut into her arm.
His? What did he mean by that? Her heart skipped a beat as his blazing, angry eyes bored into hers. “L-lord Sesshomaru,” she started haltingly.
“You are NEVER to leave the grounds again without me. I thought I had already made that quite clear. As for Rin, I will make sure she understands,” he growled.
They flew in silence until they reached his castle. As they landed, he led her into the castle and into her room. Once they were inside the room, the seething lord shut the door behind him. Slowly he walked towards her, anger all over his face. “You could have been killed and all over what a small child says,” he growled, backing her up until she fell onto her bed. His eyes searched hers for a moment until he backed away slightly.
“You will be watched at all times until you can prove you won't do this again,” he growled, grasping her arm in his one hand. His eyes held a deadly seriousness as he glared at her.
“You'll be staying within my sight at all times for the rest of the day. I only brought you here to get some things,” he growled, releasing her.
“Why am I getting stuff?” she asked rubbing her arm where he had grasped.
“You will be sleeping in my chambers tonight. I want be sure this 'running away' notion has left your head,” he bit out coldly, watching as she stared at him.
Seeing that his eyes were more demanding than asking, Flame gathered her pajamas and followed Sesshomaru back to his study. “Sit,” he demanded, pointing at the chair across from his desk. Flame sat, lowering her gaze to the carpet. This was even worse than the last time this happened. Now he never took his gaze off her.
“Why did what Rin asked upset you so much?” he asked, staring at her intently.
“W-well... er well... Its just... I know you don't feel that way about me,” she stammered, blushing deeply.
“And this upsets you enough to risk your life,” he questioned a little more gently.
“I... I don't know... I just... I didn't think,” she managed. He brought up a good point. No matter her reasons, what she did was dumb. She had done it not once but twice.
“Why does the thought of me not having... affection for you upset you?” he asked again, still staring at her.
“D-don't ask me that... please,” she pleaded, wishing she could just die right there. Why was he being so insistent? Why couldn't he stop staring at her?
Suddenly he got up and stood before her. “Tell me,” he said softly.
“I... I... developed feelings for you,” she whispered softly, feeling tears brim in her eyes. Her admission was only greeted with silence. Feeling hot tears in her eyes, she tried to swallow them down. What had she expected?
“Feelings,” he stated simply, his eyes flashing briefly. He came closer, looking into her eyes the entire time.
“I see,” he whispered softly, his eyes becoming warm briefly. Then, he pulled away, leaving her confused.
His voice had sound softer, almost happy. It had probably been her imagination. Starting to cry, she tried to swallow her sorrow. She hated herself for being so emotional. Suddenly her head was lifted gently and she was looking into his eyes. His amber eyes were warm and filled with an emotion that she didn't know. Slowly, he closed the distance between them until their lips were only inches apart. Then, with a sharp inhale, he pulled back. His eyes looked cold and hard again.
Flame felt her heart drop as he pulled back. Had that moment just been another instinct driven one? Had he only been feeling lust when he had looked at her so tenderly? Refusing to start crying again, she focused on the carpet. She could feel him staring at her, making her feel even more stupid. “Can we just forget this ever happened?” she asked quietly, feeling deeply ashamed.
“Yes,” he replied shortly before grabbing her arm and hauling her to her feet. She was caught off guard as she was dragged down halls and well past her room. She was lead to a huge set of double silver doors. Without so much as a look of strain, Sesshomaru pushed the doors open and led her inside.
In the room was a huge, silk covered bed as well as a large wardrobe. It looked like Sesshomaru even had his own hot spring like she did. She jumped when he closed the door, turning to look at the stoic lord. Sesshomaru looked at her placidly, before going behind his changing screen and undressing. Turning bright red and making an eeping noise, she turned her back as he changed into some nightclothes.
Hearing a throat clearing behind her, she turned to see the silk clad taiyoukai lounging on his bed. “Er, I don't think sharing a bed is a good idea,” she whispered, doubly hesitant because of her confused emotions. His eyes showed no room for argument, making her sigh in defeat as she crawled onto the bed. Scooting as far away from the western lord as possible, she laid on her side and tried to go to sleep. Sesshomaru settled in behind her, staying on his own side. After endless hours of laying next to the taiyoukai, she finally drifted off.
