Chapter Eight: Homecoming
Flame had slept alone that night, grateful that Sesshomaru had given her the distance she needed. She had spent a long time mulling over what happened as well as the apology. As far as she knew, Sesshomaru had never apologized to anyone. The fact that he had apologized weighed on her mind. As her eyes opened, she decided to forgive him. It had almost gone too far but it hadn't. It was fairly obvious the taiyoukai hadn't been in his right mind.
Sitting up, she was greeted with the sight of several fruits as well as cooked meat. It was almost as if he was trying to make up for what happened. Smiling she looked around, her eyes finally finding the tall youkai. He was even more handsome than she had remembered. She almost caught herself drooling despite last night.
He was dressed in his usual red and white kimono. His armor rested over his left shoulder while his long, fluffy tail curled around his right. His waist length silver hair gave him an air of regality. Magenta stripes adorned his cheeks, red eyeshadow marked his eyes and a blue crescent moon rested in the middle of his forehead. Altogether his six foot six frame was an impressive figure. Flame had to fight to keep her jaw from dropping. He was like an alabaster skinned god. It almost made her wonder why she didn't want him to fuck her last night.
A slight blush on her cheeks, Flame looked away from the handsome youkai. Where had THAT thought come from?! A little shocked at herself, the embarrassed woman avoided Sesshomaru's neutral gaze. He could feel his amber eyes boring into her. He was probably confused by her behavior. This thought in mind, Flame swallowed and straightened. “I'm ready to go when you are,” she stated, her hazel eyes meeting his amber gaze.
Clenching his only hand, Sesshomaru clenched his teeth and nodded. Her heat scent was getting stronger and stronger by the moment. It took every ounce of his control to keep his feral side in control. Closing his intense eyes, the stoic looking lord formed a demon cloud underneath his booted feet. He motioned to her with his right and only hand to his companion.
Flame felt a heat rush through her body as he gestured to her to get on the cloud. She would have to stand so close! The thought of it made a wave of arousal rush through her. Would Sesshomaru be able to maintain control with her in heat and so close? Shaking slightly, she stepped onto the cloud. Sesshomaru was stiff as a board beside her as he held her to his right side. His eyes were faintly tinged red and his jaw was clenched in concentration.
Sesshomaru could clearly smell her arousal and stiffened. The almost irresistible scent made his beast tear at its restraints. His vision slightly bled red as he put his right arm around the female. Gritting his teeth, Sesshomaru braced himself as the cloud rose and began to speed towards his castle. It would only be a few minutes until they reached the castle. Surely he could last that long.
Flame clung to the shirt of his kimono tightly as the cloud sped off. She couldn't help but look down as the ground got further and further away until they were above the trees. With a small eep of fear, the small female hid her face in the white, silky material. She had always hated heights! Riding on Sesshomaru's back had been bad enough but this was almost enough to make her faint. Suddenly she felt his clawed hand tighten on her arm. Looking up at him, she noticed he was looking at her as red slowly bled into his eyes.
Fear, arousal and estrus hit his sensitive nose at once, almost staggering him. His controls slipped just enough to let a shred of his beast through. Red bled into his vision again as he stared down at the frightened female. His clawed hand moved over her soft skin as he stared into her eyes. Fear was written all over her but underneath all of it was a hint of arousal. Closing his eyes, he breathed in her scent slowly.
Flame stiffened as she felt his hand rubbing her arm. He was starting to slip and it scared her. Some part of her wanted his touch on her body but another part only wanted to have sex with someone she shared feelings with. She snapped out of her thoughts when she noticed he was bending towards her. His nostrils were flared and his eyes were closed in pleasure as he seemed to take in her scent. Slowly his red eyelids opened to reveal molten amber irises surrounded by a sea of red.
Their noses were almost touching and their breath intermingled as he seemed to be assessing her. Slowly his hand left her arm, moving to her quivering chin and lifting it. Heart beating in her chest, the small female held her breath as Sesshomaru moved his face closer to hers. Their lips barely touched as the moment stretched on. An emotion that Flame was almost afraid to identify was in the taiyoukai's gold and crimson gaze. Suddenly they were jolted as the cloud abruptly landed. Sesshomaru's eyes went back to normal as he pulled back from her.
Flame blinked, realizing they had arrived. Almost disappointed, the pale human stepped off the cloud and looked up at the outer wall. The wall was smooth stone, towering at about ten feet tall. The gate were two huge, mahogany doors that opened inward. Sesshomaru was already walking through the opening doors, prompting the young female to follow.
As the female trotted to keep up with his long strides, Sesshomaru was trying to regain his control. “Please, keep a distance from my side,” he hissed, clenching his right fist. In the corner of his vision he saw her flinch back and felt a wave of regret. He hadn't meant it to sound so harsh but it was best she kept her distance until they got her some proper rags.
Flame bit her lip as she complied with his orders. It only made sense after all. She was on her period, using only leaves to stem the blood flow; leaves that hadn't been changed since early that morning. Her scent was probably very strong for the youkai ahead of her. Once they were inside and the gates had shut behind them, Flame walked a few more paces behind Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru, sensing she was walking slower, looked behind himself in concern. He debated on waiting a bit for her when he heard a familiar cry of excitement. Turning to face his huge palace, the western lord was greeted with the sight of Rin and Jaken. The orange kimono wearing child ran to him, small arms outstretched and a smiled on her freckled face. With a barely visible smile of his own, Sesshomaru knelt to allow the brown haired child to wrap her arms around his neck.
Flame stopped to watch, a quiet smile on her face. Rin released her hold after a few moments while Sesshomaru's green skinned retainer approached. The toad youkai used a wooden staff twice his height as a walking stick. The stick was topped with two heads, one a young lady with long, black hair; the other was an old man. The small creature suddenly halted in its tracks in front of Flame
Jaken turned his head, fixing his large, beady eyes on the human in front of him. “What are you doing here?” he asked, contempt clear in his voice. Sesshomaru, turning to face his small servant, narrowed his eyes.
“Jaken, leave her be,” he stated coldly, his voice very firm. Jaken squawked loudly, bowing before Sesshomaru as the stoic lord turned and entered his palace. Flame, ignoring the prostrate retainer, followed the taiyoukai inside. Jaken was only a few seconds behind as the large doors were shut behind them. Suddenly several servants appeared in front of Sesshomaru, bowing.
“Show the human female to her room and tend to her requests. I will be in my study and am not to be disturbed,” Sesshomaru ordered coolly before walking up a large set of stairs and leaving Flame behind.
Rin was smiling up at the young woman, laughter in her brown eyes. “Lord Sesshomaru must like you a lot to bring you here,” Rin chirped, jumping in excitement. Jaken only snorted irritably before going up the same stairs his lord had used. The next thing Flame knew, she was gently being tugged in the direction of another stair case a few feet to the left. The female youkai leading her up the purple carpeted stairs was a few inches shorter than her as well as fairly thin. Her hair was red, shoulder length and tied into a pony tail. Her green, slitted eyes were full of worry as she led Flame down a long hall.
The hall had red walls dotted with some portraits of silver haired youkai. Suddenly, the small youkai stopped in front of a mahogany door and opened it. Inside was a huge room with several pieces of furniture. There was a huge canopy bed with blue, silk sheets, a large vanity mirror with an ivory hair brush on the desk, there was also a privacy screen folded up in a corner and a huge wardrobe. Flame went to the wardrobe, opening it to reveal a large selection of kimonos. Closing the doors, she moved to the vanity and opened several drawers. They were filled with undergarments as well as make-up.
All of this was great but she wished she had her old clothes here. There was also another small problem. Thankfully the girl who had led her here was still in the room. Her long, tabby cat tail was twitching as she wrung her hands nervously. “Is there anything else you needed Miss?” the neko asked. Flame went bright red, tightening her thighs.
“Erm, actually yes. You see I'm... erm... well... on my period,” Flame stammered, blushing hard.
“Period, Miss?” the cat youkai asked, tilting her head. Flame very nearly face palmed at the question, blushing even more. What else could she call it?
“Um... I'm kinda... bleeding... down.. there,” she barely managed to get out, face red as a brick.
“Does Miss mean she's in heat?” asked the astonished feline.
“I guess you could call it that and its just Flame. Not Miss,” Flame replied, wishing she could disappear.
“There are rags for such uses in your wash room,” replied the neko youkai, gesturing to a a door in the left wall. Flame nodded her gratitude before rushing into the room.
Inside was a huge hot spring with bottles of cleansing oils surrounding it. Against a wall to the right of the spring was a small, wooden cupboard. Flame knelt before the cupboard, opening it to reveal stacks of clean, white rags. After a long time in the bathroom, Flame came back out, a slight blush on her cheeks. She had to leave the leaves she had used in the bathroom on the floor. She hoped whoever cleaned understood.
To her surprise, the red-headed neko was still there. “Erm... What's your name?” Flame asked shyly.
“My name is Akane, Miss Flame,” she replied, with a small bow.
“Akane, I hate to tell you but I had to leave a mess in the bathroom,” Flame said sheepishly.
“I know, I can smell it. I assure you that it will be cleaned expediently. There will also be a waste receptacle put in your wash room,” Akane stated before going into the bathroom.
Flame sat on her bed while the neko youkai cleaned the bathroom. It wasn't too long until she came back out. Flame was confused by her empty hands but decided it would be better not to ask. “Will there be anything else Miss Flame?” Akane asked, fiddling with her maid's shirt.
“No, thank you Akane,” Flame replied, wondering why the feline was so nervous around her. Quickly, Akane bowed and left.
The small female had only a moment to herself before Rin came running in. The small child hopped onto the bed beside Flame, grinning up at her.
“Hello, what's your name?” she asked, despite knowing quite well who she was. The show had gotten her and Jaken right on the dot just like everything else so far. Still, she knew if she just used Rin's name that the girl would probably be confused and scared.
“My name is Rin! What's yours!” she exclaimed, full of energy.
“My name's Flame,” Flame replied, smiling slightly.
“Would you like to come pick flowers with me?” asked the bouncing child excitedly.
“Sure! Lead the way Rin,” responded the woman, getting to her feet.
Squealing happily, Rin ran out of the room with Flame walking behind her. Rin ran past on of the maids, earning a stern look. Quickly, Rin stopped running in favor of skipping. Smiling, Flame followed the small child down the stairs and out the back door. Outside was a huge garden filled with flowers and several flowering cherry trees. In the back left corner of the lush garden was a large koi pond that was full of the colorful fish. Rin ran out into the flowers while Flame picked her jaw off the ground. Sesshomaru certainly hadn't seemed the type to have a garden like this or a garden period.
Still shocked, the young woman followed Rin. The small, orange clad child was giggling with her arms already filled with colorful flowers. With a small laugh, Flame began to pick her own bouquet. Once they both had an armful of flowers, Rin skipped over to a large cherry tree and sat down. Flame followed, setting her flowers down as she sat by Rin. The small girl was soon making necklaces and crowns from the small buds.
Flame watched her technique for a bit before starting to make her own flower jewelry. Hers were rather lopsided and loose compared to Rin;s but the child seemed delighted by them. Soon they had a pile of flower necklaces and crowns. Giggling, Rin began to adorn Flame with several of the floral items. Smiling good naturedly, Flame sat still and let the child cover her with jewelry. Once Flame was wearing the whole pile, Rin stepped back to admire her work.
Then, giggling all the way, the small child ran towards the koi pond. Shaking her head, Flame removed all but one flower crown before following her. The two of them sat at the pond's side, staring at the fish as they swam by. Suddenly a loud throat clearing noise startled them, making them turn around. There stood Jaken who was looking mildly annoyed. “You there, woman, Lord Sesshomaru has asked for your presence,” the toad barked, pointing the staff at Flame.
“My name is Flame, toad,” she spat, before heading back inside.
As she entered the castle, it dawned on her that she didn't know where Sesshomaru was. Preferring to just ask one of the servant rather than Jaken, Flame approached one of the servants. The female servant turned toward her, her red eyes narrowing. “Lord Sesshomaru has requested my presence and I don't know where his study is,” Flame stated, hoping the youkai wasn't as angry as she looked.
“Follow me Miss,” the female hissed, her forked tongue flicking out briefly. Then she turned and led the way up the large set of stairs in the middle of the room.
Flame followed in silence. The lizard youkai's tail was twitching erratically which probably showed annoyance. Maybe the female youkai could smell her condition too. Or maybe the demons in the castle hated humans. It would make sense, knowing Sesshomaru's reputation. Suddenly they stopped in front of a huge, mahogany double door. The youkai that led her bowed, then left. Flame looked at the retreating demon and back to the huge door nervously, then she timidly knocked on the hard wood.
“Enter,” said a cold, male voice from the other side. Swallowing her fear, Flame turned the brass doorknob and opened the door. The room was big enough for a large crowd and had books covering all but two spots on the walls. One spot was a fireplace and the other was a window behind Sesshomaru's large desk. Sesshomaru sat behind the desk, staring placidly at her from between two stacks of paper. Flame entered the room, shutting the door behind her.
Sesshomaru eyed the female for a moment before motioning her to come forward. Her scent was much more subdued now, to his immense relief. “I wish for you to stay at my palace. I have many questions about the future that I want answers to,” he stated, looking her in the eyes.
“I don't know if answering those questions is such a good idea,” Flame murmured, remembering what happened last time she told him about the future.
“That is no concern to me. I will summon you whenever I have a question and you are to answer,” Sesshomaru ordered, a steel undertone to his voice. Flame could only nod in response. His tone had left no room for argument. The western lord nodded back, going back to the papers on his desk. Flame took it as her cue to get out. She left as quietly as she could, shutting the two large doors behind her. Sesshomaru wasn't going to make her stay easy on her. She could only hope that the rest of her tales of the future wouldn't set him off.
