Chapter 5- His Decision
"Wow!...that was great!" said a very full Lana as she stretched like all people do when their full. She turned to Rin and smiled. "So Rin, why don't you show me around the place. It's so big I think I'll get lost." she laughed.
"I'd love to Miss Lana!" Rin said cheerfully.
Sesshomaru sipped some of his whine. He then looked at the two females as they laughed. Lana had a most enchanting smile. Her face had a look of innocence yet you could tell that wasn't her true self. No not at all. She was like a fox. Sly and cunning yet beautiful and rare.
"Well Sesshomaru..."Lana started.
"Ahem!" interrupted that toad demon Jaken. "You will address my lord of who's home you are in by his title." he instructed. Her response to him was...quite painful...as she took his staff and hit him upside his head.
"Shut the hell up you little shit! I know his title but no one tells me what to do and I won't be staying here for very long so you need to back off!" she yelled. "Come Rin. I must distance myself from these people!" "Okay," Rin said hesitantly as she took Lana's Hand and lead her out of the dining room.
Jaken stopped rubbing his throbbing head and turned to his lord. "My lord, surely you aren't going to tolerate such language and disrespect towards yourself and in your own home no less."
Sesshomaru stared at the door which the two females had exited. "Worry not Jaken. This Sesshomaru will allow this woman to do as she pleases for now. She will soon treat me with the proper respect deserving of a lord. Or I will make her learn." he smirked. "Oh and Jaken..."
"Yes my lord?"
"Don't ever question my reaction to anything. You should know me by now to know if I did not have something in store for that wench she would have already been dead. The next time you do it, you yourself will be." warned the demon lord as he left the room.
Rin had took the rest of the day to show Lana around the castle. she showed her the Guests rooms, the library, the bath house, the kitchen, and the training room. She didn't show her the wing where only the royal family resided. It was closed off by a huge set of doors that were golden with carvings of a huge dog demon. Lana marveled at the doors. She was quite curious as to what was behind those doors. Rin knew that her lord would be angry with her if she let Lana go into his chambers so she tried to advert Lana's attention to the garden.
"Hey Miss Lana, lets go to the garden now. I want to show you all of the pretty flowers there!" Rin exclaimed.
"Rin, you can just call me Lana, and I get the feeling that you don't want to get in trouble with Sesshomaru if you show me that wing, am I right?" Lana asked.
Rin nodded to her question. "Yes Mi... I mean Lana. I do fear Lord Sesshomaru's temper."
Lana placed her hand on Rin's head and bent down to her eye level. "Well, then I won't force you to show me the room. So show me that wonderful garden!" she said. Rin cheered and told Lana to follow her as she ran in the direction of the garden. Lana smiled to herself. She turned to look back at the doors. As she stood up to follow Rin, she had a thought. 'I'll just show myself what's behind those doors. Those carvings must have been Inuyasha's father that Kagome told me about, so maybe I can find out some info on his all so secret past. I think I'll wait until later.'
Lana was now in her human form carrying a sleeping Rin in her arms. She had to transform because of her demon nose's reaction to all the flowers and their pollen. She almost sneezed her brains out.
She remembered where Rin had showed her room to her and was now heading there. When she came to the room, she opened the door and walked over to the little bed which she then laid Rin down in. Lana pulled back the covers and tucked Rin in. She smiled at the exhausted little girl. They had been playing all sorts of games in the garden. Lana had taught her how to play hide and seek, red-light green-light, and tag. During a game of hide and seek when Lana was it, she had found Rin sound asleep behind a rose bush.
She kissed the top of Rin's head. "Sleep well Rin." she whispered. 'Well, I haven't seen Sesshomaru all day.' she smirked inwardly, 'I think I should go check out that secret area of the castle now.' she thought as she exited the room onto her new destination. On her way there, she ran into one the servants she had talked to earlier when she had gotten dressed.
"Oh hi again. Do you know by when any chance the clothes that I had asked for will be ready?" she asked.
The servant nodded. "Yes Miss, they are nearly done just the way you asked for. And your shoes were saved by milord's strange fascination with them." she replied.
"Thanks a bunch. I might be leaving soon and I don't want to travel in this thing." Lana laughed.
"Very well, I will notify you when they are ready.” The servant left and Lana continued to the 'forbidden wing' of the castle.
When Lana came face to face with the golden set of doors, she began to have second thoughts. 'Should I really be nosey and check this place out?' she thought. She looked at the doors again. "Yes I think I should." she said out loud as she placed her hands on the doors and slowly pushed them open and entered the dimly lit hall.
As she walked down the hall she noticed that there were about four rooms. One of these rooms in particular had the biggest set of doors and the most beautiful. She decided to check that one out first.
Lana pushed open the door and looked around the room. It wasn't brightly lit, however it was better than the hallway. "Hello is any one in here?" she spoke quietly. When there was no answer she proceeded all the way into the room and closed the door behind her. 'Wow. This room isn't half bad.' she thought as she turned around to get a 360 view of the room. 'I wonder whose it is.'
Sesshomaru entered his castle. He had been out on business all day since lunch with Jaken and was now returning to his castle. He was greeted in by one of his servants.
"Welcome home my lord, was your journey today pleasant." spoke the servant.
"Yes. Tell me, how are the woman and Rin? Have they been together all afternoon since lunch?" asked the demon lord.
"Yes indeed milord. They have been enjoying themselves quite well in the garden. Rin is quite fond of Miss Lana. In fact, Miss Lana just placed young Rin in her bed chambers a few moments ago. I saw her headed out, but strangely, not in the direction of her own room." replied the servant.
"Hmm, I wonder what that wench is up to now." wondered Sesshomaru. He nodded to the servant and went into his castle towards his own personal chambers.
Lana walked towards something that appeared to be a painting of the same dog demon on the golden doors outside the hall. "So, this must be their father." she said as she marveled the giant beast's size compared to the houses beneath it. She read an inscription down below the painting. It required her learning of the Japanese language to read. "Lord Inutaisho, The Great Dog Demon"
"Wow, he's remarkable alright." she said as she walked over to a collection of swords on the wall. One of the swords instantly caught her eye. "It's beautiful." Lana picked up the sword and unsheathed it. She looked the sword up and down. Then she began to swing it back and forth. "Now I know why guys love swords so much, it makes you feel unstoppable."
"That worthless sword would fail in killing a fly no matter how many times it was struck so why would it be so powerful to anyone." said a familiar voice behind her.
The hairs on the back of Lana's neck stood up as she slowly turned around only to stare into golden eyes. She saw him standing next to the door with, what appeared to be smile on his face. "Sess...Sesshomaru?" she stuttered. "Wh...what are you doing here?" In her mind, she was cursing herself for not being in her demon form, again. At least then she would have sensed him approaching the room.
He raised an eyebrow at her. "What an absurd question. It is my castle; I may go where I wish." He closed the door and walked a few steps towards her. "Now the more logical question is, what are you doing here, in my chambers that were closed off before I left?"
"Your chambers? This is your room?" she asked surprised.
"Why wouldn't it be? Do you not see all of the exquisite furniture or the great portrait of my late father wench?"
Lana rolled her eyes at him. "Well there's no need to call names. I just figured that you being a lord and all would have a bigger room than...well than this."
"Why, it isn't good enough for you?" he said with anger and frustration in his tone. Her continued disregard for showing him the proper respect was trying his patience.
Lana noticed his tone of voice and decided to ignore him. She placed her attention back on the sword in her hands. "So, does this thing have a name like Inuyasha's?" she asked. “I heard that you both were given swords by your father.”
Sesshomaru was completely taken back by her actions. She did it again. She just changes topics when she doesn't feel like talking about it. He closed his eyes and sighed. "Yes, it was given a name. Its name is Tenseiga." he replied.
"So what does it do? Do you just let it sit here to collect dust? I'm sure it must have some power if it was made from you and Inuyasha's father." Lana said as she began to put the sword back in its spot.
"If I tell you will you stop speaking the name of my weak half-breed brother." he said sternly.
"Why do you hate him so much? It can't possibly be because you hate humans. If that were the case then you wouldn't allow Rin to stay here." She stopped when she noticed his eyes still closed and his eyebrows furrowing together in annoyance. "Okay, I won't talk about him anymore. So, are you going to tell me what this thing can do or what?"
Sesshomaru opened his eyes and walked over to where the sword was, directly infront of where Lana was standing. He looked into her eyes and slowly picked up the Tenseiga. "This sword has the power to revive the dead. Therefore, it cannot kill." he said as he placed it back in its place.
Lana looked at him puzzled. "That's so cool! That could come in handy someday in a world where demons are everywhere. What's so crappy about a sword like that?"
"Your strange terms are amusing." he said with a slight smirk. "As much as you find this sword to be- `cool', for a demon lord such as myself it is utterly useless to me. As you know, I am a killer." Sesshomaru continued to stare into her eyes. This woman would ask questions and expect answers yet she wouldn't answer any herself. He would change that right now. "Since you are here, I need to discuss a few things with you for a moment."
Lana was a bit nervous as to what exactly he needed to discuss with her but she would never let him know of her nervousness. "Sure, there are a few things I need to talk to you about as well."
"Very well then, you may proceed." Sesshomaru insisted as he made a gesture for her to sit on his huge bed. He noticed that she was a bit reluctant at first, but she sat down anyway.
'This bed is kind of comfy' she thought to her herself before she began to say what she had to. "Well, you know that since I was in my demon form while I was recovering from my wound I healed quicker than a human would have." she stopped to look at him for a moment. She began to fumble with her hands as she tried to say the right words, so that she would start another arguement. "And although you and I didn't meet under pleasant circumstances, you still took me in and cared for me and well...I want to say thank you, for your hospitality...but..."
“Your powers are impressive for a hanyou.” He cut her off. “But if you were a full demon you would have healed even sooner.”
"I need to go back to the village. My friends will be looking for me anyway and I don't want them to worry too much about me." Lana finished. “And what was that suppose to mean.”
Sesshomaru walked over to the bed and sat next to her. She backed away slightly and looked at him strangely. “I have finally figured out the behavior of your ability to alternate between your human and youkai blood. In which ever state you are in, the other is dormant and suppressed. However, your healing ability as a demon are limited to that of a hanyou.” Sesshomaru's gaze was intense as that familiar urge rushed to his groin as he made his decision. “If you were to be mated by a full demon, a powerful one, your offspring would have a high chance of being born as a full demon.”
Lana's jaw dropped and her face had a slight blush. She couldn't believe it. What exactly was he getting at? “Uh…maybe. Your theory could very well be correct but I hardly see the point of you suddenly saying all of this.” She and turned her face away from his stare. Feeling his clawed hand on her shoulder she jumped up from the bed. “Um…I…think I should be going now.” Her voice shaky as she hurried to the door.
Lana barely pulled it open when he pushed his hand to re-shut it. She turned and glared at him but froze when she noticed the look of lust in his eyes. “Sess-Sesshomaru…why? Why are you acting this way? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Moving closer to her so that he pinned her to the door, he lowered his mouth to her ear. “As I said before Lana, I desire you.” He was so close to her he could feel her large breasts pressed against him, fueling his want even more. "My body yearns for you, to feel you beneath me, and to be inside you." he began to grind himself on her, making her feel him.
She didn't know what to do. She was aroused by his touch and his hot breath on her neck. Her mind began to cloud as she fought for words to say. “I don't understand.”
“Our unexpected meeting of one another couldn't have happened at a more perfect time. I am in need of a mate to produce an heir. I've been quite interested in you. You are lovely, strong, willful and intriguing. I want that in a mate. I have made up my mind and decided that you will become my mate." he said as he looked into her eyes once more. He had come to the conclusion over the past few days she had been at his castle. He wanted her. He needed an heir. This would be killing two birds one stone as one would say.
He said that as if she had no choice in the matter. “But-
“Quiet.” He began licking the lobe of her ear.
Lana sucked in a breath. “I don't-
“Quiet.” He said more firmly, this time nipping her jaw line.
Lana moaned at the sensation. “Why you!”
“Be silent!”
“Now you look here you chauvinistic ass-
She was silenced by his lips descending onto hers. She resisted him at first. His kiss was so forceful and demanding. She felt his tongue lick her lips seeking entrance and she pressed her lips as tightly as she could. He smirked at her attempt to keep him from his goal. His clawed hand roamed her body until he found her round lush rear and he firmly squeezed it. She was startled into a gasp and he shoved his tongue into her mouth. Her moans were pleasant to his ears and he wanted more from her.
Lana suddenly pushed him back breaking the kiss. He looked at her perplexedly. “It is clear that your body wants the same thing as mine." he said.
"How dare you! Get off of me you bastard I'm leaving right now!" she screamed as she struggled to get free. She was silenced by another kiss just as demanding as the first.
Sesshomaru as he held her in place. "You forget, I did save your life you are indebted to me.” He glared down at her.
Lana stopped struggling. She took a deep breathe to calm herself down and placed her arms on his shoulders. "Sesshomaru..." she breathed. He began to become aroused almost instantly. She moved her hands up to his neck and grabbed him into the most passionately filled kiss. As the kiss went on, Lana slowly began to transform back into her demon form. She broke the kiss in need for air. When she looked at him he was almost totally out of it. "Sesshomaru..." she said in the same tone as before. He looked down into her now icy, grey demon eyes. His hard manhood was just aching for her warmth. When he let out a moan, he loosened his grip on her. “I understand that you saved me but I can't be your mate. If you say I am in your debt then take this, as my gift to you.” Her hands began to glow as this the shoulder of his missing arm.
Was she trying to purify him? “Stop what you are doing at once!”
Her eyes were closed in concentration. “Shh. Relax, I won't purify you.” When she was finished she was nearly out of breath. “Your arm…Sesshomaru.”
He looked at her as if she were mad. He was about to call her just that until he felt her hands, on both of his arms. “How is this possible?” Sesshomaru raised his newly regenerated arm and flexed his claws. It would have taken year for it to grow back on its own. He stared down at her. “You are…half miko.”
Lana was a bit weak still but she managed to answer him. “Yeah,” she smiled weakly at him. “I think that this should be proper payment.”
This woman, half-demon, half-miko. Never had there been such. Once again she managed to surprise him. And her power, he looked at his arm in awe, she was stronger than he thought. But she was right. He had his arm back. True he didn't really need it, but it was still his arm.
Sesshomaru sighed. The bitch would have her way. For now. “You may go.”
Lana left the room and found the servant waiting for her outside of the golden set of doors with the clothes in her hands. "Thank you." Lana said as she took the clothes and changed into them. It was a black shirt that wrapped around and some black shorts that Lana had explained to the servant how to make. When she was finished she asked the servant to give Rin a note to say good-bye. She said her thank you's to all of the servants and one of then escorted her to the castle gates and she ran off into the night.
