Chapter Five: Homesick
Flame's sleep was disturbed by horrifying nightmares about the ogre. Almost all of them ending with the rape being successful. Her whimpering and crying made Sesshomaru very concerned. He wrapped his tail around her and nudged her awake whenever she seemed to be having a particularly bad nightmare. Every time she awoke, she thanked him before passing back out. At this rate the small human wasn't going to have a very restful night.
The next morning, the huge dog youkai decided to let his charge sleep in. She was finally sleeping peacefully after a night of nightmares. Getting her home and safe was very important now. He would have to be more vigilant so she wouldn't have to go through this ever again. The protective lord watched the sleeping female as time passed slowly.
Around noon, Flame finally awoke and stretched. “Why did you let me sleep so late?” she asked rubbed her sleepy eyes. Sesshomaru merely gave her a glance. Flame rubbed her head almost sheepishly.
“I had a lot of nightmares, I know. I still want to get to your castle as soon as I can,” she replied. Grabbing her clothes out of his neck fur, she went into the woods to change. Sesshomaru Sat with his back turned, close to the spot she went into the woods. Flame finished changing quickly and came back out.
Sesshomaru glanced down at his ward, trying to apologize. He had to go hunt for food now but he would be sure to be close. He found himself wishing he could reassure her. Growling at himself, the irritated taiyoukai turned and went into the forest.
Flame watched, concerned, as the giant dog walked into the foliage. “Please don't be too long,” she whispered. While he was gone, Flame started a fire to cook whatever he caught. Thankfully it was only a few minutes until the giant white dog came back with a pile of butchered meat on a leaf. Flame skewered the meat, letting it cook.
After they ate, Sesshomaru laid on the ground so the human could climb onto his back. Flame gently climbed onto his neck ruff and settled in. Once she had a good grip, the giant canid ran off towards the west. Only a few more days and they would be at his home. He would be back to normal and he could ask his human all his questions.
Flame rode, looking at the blurred scenery as the ran past it. She found herself enjoying the clean air as well as the pure nature around her. Still she found herself homesick for her bed, her clothes, her friends, her family. She was probably never going to be able to go home ever again. The thought made her both sad and terrified. This world had proven to be quite dangerous. She certainly had no desire to repeat yesterday.
Flame found herself wondering if maybe the powerful demon she was riding on top of might know a way for her to get home. As far as she knew the well was out for her. There had to be another way for her to get home. “Lord Sesshomaru, do you think I will ever be able to go home again,” she asked shyly.
The question almost made him stop in his tracks. His human wanted to go back to the mysterious future she spoke of. He couldn't let her leave until he could ask her questions. No her going home wasn't an option. Besides, even if he wanted to help her, he didn't know how she could get back to her time. The giant white dog settled for shaking his head in reply.
When he shook his head, Flame felt her heart sink. She should have expected as much. Sesshomaru hadn't even thought of the future before she accidentally came here. She still didn't have a clue how she even ended up here. All she wanted right now was to go home. Home, where demons didn't try to rape her at random, where she could get clean clothes, where she could have a real bath. Her heart ached for her family as well. She missed her parents and her close friends. Suddenly it was all too much to bare. “Lord Sesshomaru stop!” she yelled.
Sesshomaru halted and laid down to let her off. He was astonished as well as confused as to why she wanted to stop. Maybe she had to go to the bathroom. Suddenly she ran off into the woods leaving him sitting there for a few minutes in total confusion. Then he was running after her. It didn't take him long to catch her. As he gently pinned her down, he saw her crying almost hysterically. Sesshomaru removed his paw, only looking down at the distraught female. Was this because she missed her home?
Flame sobbed uncontrollably for several minutes before her sobs slowly tapered off. Breathing in watery sighs, she wiped her wet eyes, trying to calm down. “I'm sorry Lord Sesshomaru. I don't know what I was thinking. It just hit me that I would never see my family, my friends ever again,” she whimpered between hitching breaths.
Sesshomaru felt an urge to nuzzle and comfort his human. He was disgusted at himself for wanting to comfort her. He couldn't lower himself so far as to actually act like the dog he looked like. Still, her tears had been ripping him apart inside. Every sob had almost made him lick her to comfort her. What was this human doing to him?
After she had composed herself, the dejected female stood up and began to walk back out to the path they had been following. Sesshomaru followed her closely, growling softly in concern. “I won't run off again,” she merely whispered, her head lowered in misery.
Sesshomaru laid down so the female could climb onto his back. He was still worried she was going to run off again but knew they had to move on. He waited until he knew she had a good grip and started running off toward the west.
Flame burrowed into the thick, white neck fur and thought about her life back home. Her family and friends had to be extremely worried by now. Were they searching for her? Did they think she was dead? Even if she could go home, would she cause them to think they had gone insane? These thoughts swarmed in her head along with memories of her life before now.
Back in her time she had been a free-lance artist. She hadn't had many friends but the ones she did have were very supportive and fun. Her family hadn't understood her job but had been supportive as well. Her life had been very simple but happy. Every Friday she and her friends would go to the mall just to walk around. Her parents and her went out to dinner all the time. It had been a happy life.
Now she was stuck in feudal era Japan with no idea of how to get home. The small female was gripped in heart-wrenching homesickness. With a sad sigh, she curled up in his neck fur and watched the forest blur by. The rest of the day went without incident until they stopped for the night. She slid off his back to start a fire while he went a little ways into the forest to hunt. While he was gone, Flame stared at the dancing flames. She found herself remembering a particular day with her friends.
It was a beautiful summer day. A warm breeze blew past her as she walked in downtown Tokyo with four of her best friends. The five females had decided that they wanted to go to the anime district to look around for anything they'd want. All of them shared a deep love of anime and manga. They often had sleep overs where they would stay up all night, just watching anime.
Yumi, a brown haired girl wearing a red t-shirt and jeans, pointed excitedly at a new store. The store had an odd kanji for the sign that only said 'Wishes.' The five friends decided they would go in and check it out. Inside the store had wall to wall anime merchandise. Some pieces the girls hadn't even heard of. They scattered all over the store, paying no mind to the ancient looking man behind the purchase counter.
Flame looked around at the various toys, figures, manga and anime. There was really nothing there that caught her interest until she saw a simple looking necklace with and odd looking fang dangling from a string. 'What's this doing here?' she found herself thinking as she picked it up. Something about the object called to her, practically begging her to buy the necklace. With a nod, she approached the counter, placing the necklace on the wooden surface.
The old man looked from the necklace to her, raised on eyebrow. “This is a fang from a real youkai. It is said to have magical properties,” the man stated. Flame looked at him incredulously, raising her own eyebrow. The man sounded so earnest but it was probably just a gimmick to sell stuff. He probably said something similar about everything in here.
“How much is it?” Flame asked, while her friends still browsed in the background. The old man seemed to look at her almost in an analyzing manner before he answered.
“$20,” he stated simply. Flame nodded, handing him exact change. The ancient man had accepted the cash without a word.
After her and her friends had finished, they left for their respective homes. Once Flame was in her room, she had placed the necklace on her night-stand so she could get read for bed. While her back was turned, the fang briefly gave off a faint blue glow.
Blinking she came back to herself. That had been the day before this all happened. That night she had awoken in the woods. Had the fang been the culprit or was it a coincidence? She supposed she would never find out. As she came out of her memory, she noticed the giant white canine staring down at her. There were hunks of meat on a leaf in front of her and it looked like he had been waiting for her to prepare him. A slight blush coloring her cheeks, Flame skewered the chunks on some sticks. How long had she been daydreaming?
Sesshomaru watched his human as she prepared their meal. She had been in a trance when he came back and she had stayed like that for five minutes. He wondered if she had been thinking and what she had been thinking about. Had she been thinking about running away again? The thought made his inner beast growl. She was his! She wouldn't leave until he wanted her to.
Flame noticed his intense, burning stare as she prepared the meat and tried to shrug it off. Once the stick had all been set up, she leaned back to wait for them to finish cooking. She was very aware of his eyes following her every move and it unnerved her. It was almost as if he was expecting her to make a break for it again. “Stop staring at me like that. I'm not going anywhere, I promise,” she groused, flinging a stick at him in irritation.
The stick landed well short of where he was sitting much to his amusement. Her words made him relax a bit but he still kept an eye on her. He couldn't let her run away again. Not only could he lose his prize from the future but she could also get hurt. Huffing slightly, he laid down to watch the meat steam and cook.
Once they had finished eating, Flame went into the woods to change into her pajamas. She came out of the woods and stored her clothes in his neck fur. As she was doing this, she felt an urge to pet the giant taiyoukai. She had to be insane! He would kill her if she treated him like a common dog. Still the urge was very strong and he had been so kind to her. Reaching forward with a shaky hand, she gingerly began to rub his side.
Sesshomaru was a bit confused when she didn't move away like usual once she had put her clothes in his fur. He watched her idly, wondering what she was doing. To his surprise he felt her begin to pet him gently. His molten eyes went wide then closed as he laid his head down. Despite the fact that he was angry she was treating him like a dog, it felt good. He rumbled in his chest to show his contentment as she continued to pet him.
Flame smiled as his rumbles vibrated her had. It seemed like the stoic youkai loved to be pet. She wondered if anyone had ever pet his dog form. She doubted it since he only seemed to turn into it when he was pissed off. His fur was remarkably soft and silky beneath her palm. It felt as if he took very good care of this form.
After a few minutes of rubbing him, she stopped and backed off. To her bemusement, the western lord turned his head to glare at her. The message in his eyes was a clear 'Never do that again.' She knew he was just trying to save face because it seemed like he had enjoyed the rubbing very much. Giving him a final pat, she curled up against his side and closed her eyes.
