Chapter Three.
I don’t remember how I got into a bed, but I didn’t want to move but my need to use the bathroom was just too great. I made a move to get out of the bed when the sharp pain in my thigh ripped a cry out of my lips.
“Easy, don’t move. You are injured, my lady.” Spoke a soft female voice.
I looked over to see who had spoken to see a white haired woman sitting on the bed next to me. I could see that she wore a very simple blue kimono – a servant perhaps. “I need to relieve myself or I’ll be like a pup wetting its sleep area.”
She smiled, as she removed the covers from my body to assist me in getting up. With her help, I was able to hobble my way to the bathroom where the stool was for me to empty my bladder in. I felt still very dizzy as I wiped myself dry. I looked over at her. “I don’t think I’ll be able to make it back to the bed before I pass out again.”
She nodded and hurried out of the room. It was not long before I stood up leaning against the wall closing my Kosode tight across my chest when I heard a voice speaking to me.
“So you have awakened.” Spoke the male voice.
I looked up to see eyes that shone with a goldish yellow color, it was the most beautiful set of eyes that I had ever seen in anyone and then I saw him lunge forth as darkness showed itself to me once again, pulling me into its dark embrace.

Lady Kannon looked at her husband as he went through many scrolls searching for a scroll to write on. “Do you know who she may be?”
“No, I do not know who she may be, beyond that she is one of our people and injured by angry villagers.” Inu no Taisho said, as he glanced at his wife.
She was just about to say something when the servant girl who was tending to his guest came running into the great hall stating that she was awake and she needed help assisting her to return to her bed as she is close to fainting again. Lord Inu no Taisho hurried to the bathroom to see her standing and then she started to fall as he rushed to her side and caught her before she struck the floor.
The servant girl watched as the Lord caught and lifted the girl up into his arms and carried her back to the bed.
He turned to the girl. “Alert the kitchen to make soup for this Inu-yokai and me. She will be hungry when she wakes.”
“Yes, my lord.” The girl bowed and ran from the room to the kitchen, knowing not to make the young lord angry.
~~~~~~~~~
By the time, Lady Kannon reached the room he had the female back in bed. She leaned against the doorframe knowing that her husband knew she was there by scent alone. “How is she?”
Inu no Taisho turned to look at her. “She is sleeping for now. I believe she was traveling alone and made the mistake of entering that village and got attacked for just being an Inu-yokai.”
Lady Kannon shook her head sadly. She walked into the room and stood next to the bed as she reached out and uncovered her ears before covering them up again. “She hides her ears, so why did they think she was unless they were attacked by a female Inu-yokai and thought she was that attacker come to attack again?”
“It is possible that may be the reason, but they will not be attacking anyone else.” He stated.
“And why’s that?” She turned to look at her husband.
“I slew them all for attacking her without cause.”
“I will send some guards out to investigate why they attacked her, there may be survivors who may know.” Lady Kannon stated.
“I doubt there are.” he replied, before turning to look at the servant girl who brought in two steaming bowls of soup and rice on a tray.
The girl approached them very slowly since any rushing would send them both for their swords that they carry. “My Lord, My lady, the soup, you asked for.”
“Thank you. Please leave the tray on the table.” Lady Kannon said, as she did what she asked and quickly left the room.
After the door was closed, Inu no Taisho sat down on the bed as did his mate and watched the young Inu-yokai slept peacefully under the covers. Inu no Taisho started to think as he examined her face and markings. ‘She has to be quite early into her adult stage, the facial markings are not darkened like my mate’s are. I would love to know where your escorts were when you were being attacked.’
“Taisho, let us go. The servants will tell us when she wakes again.” She whispered as she started to head for the door.
“You head on, I’ll stay a bit longer.” Inu no Taisho was just about to stand up when he heard a moan coming from the bed. He smiled as he turned to look at her as her eyelids started to flicker open.
~~~~~~~~~
I could feel someone sitting on the bed as I opened my eyes to see the male who had spoken when I was in the bathroom, now sitting on the bed with a slight smile on his face. I knew he was someone of importance by how he was dressed. “Where . . . am I?”
“You are in my castle. I found you being attacked by villagers.” Lord Inu no Taisho said, as he looked at her.
“Which castle?” I whispered.
“Lord Inu no Taisho, Lord of the Western Lands’ castle.” Taisho stated.
I mentally freaked out when I heard the name come from his lips. I couldn’t have been transported back in time and to a land that I had never visited before and an Anime of all things. I knew I had to keep a calm exterior as they probably could pick up on my fear. I had to let them believe that I am one of their kind and plus try to find a way home again, if I could ever find the Master Raven again. “They didn’t take too well of me entering their village.”
Lord Inu no Taisho nodded without comment. He looked over at her looking at her long white hair, yellow gold eyes shadowed by her purple streaks under her eyes and on her cheeks. “I would like to know . . . where are your escorts, were they slain by them before I found you?”
“I didn’t have any.” I replied.
They both kept their faces cold - this was never heard of for a female to wander without escorts. “Your companions, where are they?”
“Never accompanied me, I wandered alone.” I replied. How could I explain to him that I came from another time and place, where he and his family are supposed to be fictional characters in an Anime.
This time, it was Lady Kannon, who was shocked. “Why did you wander alone?”
“I do not wish to speak of it, my lady,” I said, as I looked away from her.
“Very well, maybe one day we can talk about it.” She stated, politely.
“What is your name?” I heard the male ask.
“Natsuko, my Lord.” I replied. I could hear him whispering the name. I felt the weight on the bed shift to become lighter. I knew he was walking out of the room, just like every man in my life did, they never seem to stay with me for long but the door didn’t open or close, I quickly glanced up to see him walking to the table and picking up a bowl.
“I sent for soup while you were asleep. Are you hungry?” he asked as he approached the bed with the bowl of soup in hand.
My stomach had been rumbling for a while as I nodded. He smiled as he sat down on the corner of the bed. He placed the bowl on the stand next to the bed and assisted me to sit up straighter in bed.
As I tried to move, I felt sharp pain coming from my right thigh. Out of reaction to the pain, I growled as my right hand reached down and felt the bandage on my thigh. “If I ever find those men, I’m going to slaughter them.”
“You will not be able to find them for I slaughtered them already for attacking you.” I heard him say.
I nodded as I tried to sit against the bed board with his aide, so I wouldn’t spill any of the soup on me, before he handed me the bowl of soup. I tenderly placed the bowl to my lips and started to sip the warm liquid. It was delicious as I finished it. “Your cook must really know how to make good soup. That was really good.”
“He is known in the castle to make the best soups around.” He stated.
“He did a very good job with this.” I said, as I looked around the room. It was definitely not the feudal era by how the room was designed, it was older way older. I handed the bowl back to him just as we both heard a female voice speak out.
“So how is your guest faring, Taisho?” spoke the female.
We turned to see another white haired Inu-yokai standing at the door dressed in a lovely white with cherry blossoms all over the kimono.
“She is doing well beyond her injury.” Inu no Taisho said, as he looked at her before placing his eyes onto his guest. “Her name is Natsuko and she was wandering alone when she encountered those villagers.”
“You poor child,” She stated as she walked into the room. “Where is your family so we may send word to them that you are safe with the Lords of the Western Lands?”
“They would not care where I am, my Lady.” I replied, bowing my head to her.
“And why would they not care?” She asked.
“I left my home on the east over a week ago, they didn’t send anyone out to find me and yes, they would have found me if they did.” I said.
“Why didn’t they send someone after you?” asked the woman.
“My parents . . . they just do not care for me. They care more about their eldest then their sole daughter.” I said as I looked at her and the male that stood by her side. “He could have anything but when I wanted something from them . . . I would be ignored but when they needed something from me, I was expected to give it to them regardless of what their eldest could do for them.”
The woman looked sad at her as she placed her hand on her arm. “Well, then, you can stay here as long as you like.”
I bowed my head to her. “Thank you, but as soon as my leg heals, I will be out of your home and on my way.”
“But why?” Inu no Taisho asked.
“I do not wish to be a burden to you by staying any longer than I need to.” I replied, hoping that they would accept it and let me head off. I was also growing sleepy and hoped that they would leave soon. “I will make sure that I am the polite guest as is warranted of staying within a Noble’s home.”
Inu no Taisho looked at his mother with a look of try to keep her here, her family may want to see her. She took the hint from her son and spoke, “We will make sure that you have the proper weapons to defend yourself when you leave here, Natsuko.”
I looked at them both, as my hand covered my tired yawn. “Unfortunately, my Lady, that is one thing that my family never permitted me to do,”
The next one will come soon.
