A Conflict
It had been nearly a week since she had abandon the poor man in the garden. But she was just so frustrated there was nothing else she could do. First to have him be so cruel and judgmental to the queen after all the queen had done for him. But then to not even recognize the gift which had been given to him? He was truly an infuriating man. How he could ever be considered the ruler of the humans she would never know for she would never look up to such a man.
Her darkening thoughts were soon interrupted by a pair of arms slowly encircling her waist, “my darling you are letting your thoughts get the better of you,” a male voice whispered into her ear as she felt lips gently caress her neck.
She forced her way out of his arms and then turned to face him a look of indignation on her face. “He has no right to hate the queen!” she hurriedly whispered, “she has done so much for him and yet he still has the nerve to think the queen is an evil beast!”
A finger was gently placed over her lips to prevent her forth furry and then was quickly replaced with a pair of lips. She quickly calmed and gave into the kiss only to have him pull away when he noticed her relaxing.
“My dear I know this is hard for you to accept but not all were as lucky as us to know the queen so intimately. Not even her advisors know her as we do. We should consider ourselves blessed that we do not have to fear her as others do,” the man gently spoke as he brought her into his arms once more.
“But it is understandable for those of her own kind to fear her! She holds all of their hopes and dreams in her hand which she could easily crush! But the humans outside theses walls have nothing to fear just as the humans inside these walls have nothing to fear!” she mumbled angrily.
“I know my love I know. But those outside these walls were raised to hate vampires. After all few remembered how they even came to be and see them as nothing more then beasts that devoured hundreds and soon took control of the world and forced the humans into hiding,” the man quickly stated, running his hands along her waist.
“They should remember that the vampires are not beasts though! They should have at least remembered that part of history! Even if only to remember how your enemy came to be! That is essential for any war to occur!” she stated stiffing with every word as if preparing herself for battle.
“My dear you forget that you were once a vampire hunter yourself and wanted them all dead just as the humans out side these walls desire now. It was not until the queen saved you and brought you here that your ideals changed. So do not be so harsh. You are letting your training get the better of you,” the man whispered allowing a fang to peek out in his smirk, “Nor judge them on not knowing the history of vampires for your clan was rare even by human standards to keep such information for so long.”
She calmed at hearing his words knowing they were true and soon relaxed and rested her head against his chest. But that peace did not last for long for soon a hand was placed on her rump which caused her to lash out and hit the poor man firmly causing him to fall. During his time on the floor she turned and stomped away purely showing her anger towards his actions.
He quickly stood up and raced after her, “My dear you knew I could not resist! Even more so now that we are married!” He turned the corner quickly following the woman's path only to stop abruptly so as to not trample his wife who stood stock still before him. He looked about trying to discover what had caused her to stop and spotted some one standing before them. He quickly moved to stand in front of his wife to block her from view.
“To what do we owe the pleasure of your presence?” the man mock bowed to the figure, only but a moment later to be back handed across the face.
“You lowly scum, Do not speak to me with such disrespect! I am a general and far above your status. You should feel lucky that I am not in a bad mood for soon you will be forced to give me the respect I deserve. You and that human wife of yours, even if the queen keeps you as her little pets it will not be so for long Miroku,” the general sneered as he turned to face the woman that had to rudely stopped in his way.
“And why would that be, Kouga?” Miroku angrily said as he once again blocked his wife from view.
A scowl marred General Kouga's face, “Because you horrid wretch soon the queen will have to find a suitor and who better then I? And then no one will be able to protect you worthless mixes and humans. Now if you excuse me I must be on my way to find the lovely queen and woo her,” stiffly he tilted his head, “Good day Sango, for soon it will always be night.”
The general then walked passed them both and down the hall way the last glimpse of his fur cloak about the corner allowed them both to relax, only for Sango to frown, “Would the queen really allow such a thing?” But even as she looked at her beloved husband she knew that even he did not hold such an answer.
*Note: all full blooded vampires wear masks, these include: Kouga, the advisors, and the queen. The queen is the only one that wears a full mask all others wear partial masks. Also note that the queen did not actually send the world into eternal night but more into a state of constant twilight during the normal day time hours. Thank you and please review*
