Chapter Twenty-one


Thor woke up and stretched his tired muscles. On his dresser was his medicine. He groaned in annoyance. Now that he finally put his heat cycle to good use, he didn't like taking it anymore, but he no longer had Raine to keep him occupied all day so he had to. He climbed out of bed, completely naked, and walked over to his dress and took his medicine. It was the foulest tasting thing on earth; he really heated taking it.


He scratched his stomach as he walked over to his clothes wardrobe. He put in a deep green haori and hakama with a grey obi. On his outfit was various grey markings indicating his royal status. His hair was sticking up at odd angles when he saw his reflection. He reached for his brush and made his knee length hair look tidy. Maybe he should cut it again. He had no clue how his mother and father could manage hair so long.


As soon as his parents awaken, it would be time for breakfast, which wouldn't be long because it was almost dawn. His father always liked to get an early start on things, but his mother loved to sleep in. After being mated so long she got used to the early hours.


Thor closed his bedroom door. Three doors down were Shiaka and Malique's rooms, respectively, and right in front of his was his parents'. By the time he got to the dining hall Shiaka and Malique were already there and his parents were several steps behind him. When Mika and Sesshomaru entered the dining hall they all sat to eat.


“Your mother tells me you have a mate.” Sesshomaru said to Thor as the chef started serving breakfast.


“She's not my mate.” Thor answered, upset with his mother's loose tongue. She gave him an 'I couldn't help it I'm just so proud' look.


“Well she must be important if you decided to stay with her instead of going to war.” Sesshomaru said.


“I didn't tell him that part.” Mika said quickly.


Sesshomaru started eating and everyone followed suit.


“Well she is, I love her greatly.” Thor replied wanting the subject to be dropped.


“How much do you love her?” Sesshomaru asked.


Thor sighed. Since when was everyone so interested in his personal life? He did wish his father would drop it already, he really didn't want to talk about Raine, at least not yet. He didn't want to say something and get ahead of himself. There was no certainty that he and Raine would even stay together. Could that be what fluffyouiki was speaking of?


“Must I answer?” Thor asked.


“I'd appreciate it if you did.” Sesshomaru said.


Thor sighed again. He knew the answer to that question.


“I live for her and I'd die for her. Her scent reminds me of home after it rains. She has the most beautiful grey eyes I've ever seen, you can read her every emotion just by looking in them and when she cries it looks like a storm is raging in her eyes. She's a magnificent dancer and and excellent singer with a body to rival that of any goddess. She is my heart and soul. Words can not express how much I love her.” Thor answered.


“You speak of her so passionately and yet she is not your mate?” Sesshomaru asked.


Thor gave his mother one last glare and she shrugged with a smile on her face. “Like I told mother; our relationship is quite complicated right now so I am waiting to see where things got from here before I make anything official.” He said.


Shiaka could tell Thor wanted the focus of the conversation to be as far away from him as possible so she decided to turn all their attention on her.


“Someone's asked me to be his mate.” She announced.


Thor's jaw dropped. Shiaka, his little sister, was going to be mated.


“What? You've been dating?” He asked. Shiaka nodded proudly.


Mika on the other hand was trying hard not to cry. Her little baby girl was growing up. Shiaka was going to be mated to the man of her dreams and start her own family and she would finally get some grand children.


“Mokuba finally asked you?” Mika asked. Shiaka nodded, also trying hard not to cry.


Sesshomaru, who just recently found out about this whole courting business, was happy for Shiaka but still protective of her. Then he heard Mika's words.

“You knew all along?” He asked.


Mika nodded. “Shiaka's had a crush on him since she was one hundred and thirty years old, of course I knew.” She said.


“Why is it that I am always the last to know? Before I can bless this union I will have to inspect him.” Sesshomaru said.


Shiaka gasped. “So you approve?” She asked. Sesshomaru nodded. She jumped from the table and ran out of the room to tell Mokuba the good news.


Now everyone's attention turned to Malique. He seemed to be the only one without a potential mate.


“What?” He asked.


“So who's your special lady?” Thor asked.


“I'm not ready for that sort of commitment so for now I'm just a ladies' man.” * He said with pride.


Thor and Mika broke down in a fit of laughter.


*oOo*


Raine sat in front of her dresser. No brush in hand, or comb. No pins in her hair, no perfume sprayed on, no lipstick, no jewellery. Nothing. Her objective was not to beautify herself, she was staring at the half dead figure lying on her bed. Yosuke. It was almost mid-afternoon and he hadn't moved an inch all day. He wasn't asleep, he was just lying there, looking into space. For the entire day thus far.


She knew it seemed cold hearted to her, but she was in no way mourning Chimu's death. He was her father-in-law yes but she barely knew him. The only reason she was crying the day before was because seeing his dead body brought back memories of the night her mother had died. The mention or sight of death be it animal or human always did that to her.


Now to get Yosuke on the road to recovery.


“Are you going to lie there all day?” She asked.


“Hai.” Yosuke replied.


“Why?” She asked.


“I don't feel like moving.” He answered,


“Well if you lie there all the time you're going to get bedsores and don't say I didn't warn you when I refuse to nurse them,” Raine picked up her towel from her dresser. “I'm going to take a bath.”


“My father just died Raine. I miss him.” he said when she reached the door.


Raine turned around and walked over to him, kneeling by his side. “I know, but just because your father did doesn't mean your life has to end. I don't expect you to get over this in a day. I'm still not over my mother's death. Just remember that your life isn't over yet.” She said.


“But my father has always been there for me. When ever I needed advice I would go to him and now that I'm married I need his advice more than ever. I need him.” Yosuke said.


Raine couldn't believe she was going to say this but she had to. “Can't you ask your mother for advice?” She almost choked.


“She gives terrible advice, she thinks revenge solves everything.” Yosuke said.


“My mother once told me 'Education is what you get when you read the fine print experience is what you get when you don't'. Some things are taught and others you have to learn for yourself; you parents can't teach you everything nor can they protect you forever. You have to live your own life.” She said.


Yosuke nodded. She had a valid point.


Now that she'd cheered him up a bit, Raine left to take her bath.


*oOo*


Romy was in her bedroom holding Chimu's pillow to her chest, crying and rocking back and forth. She couldn't believe her Chimu was gone She couldn't function without him. He was her courage, her rock, he very life line. How could she continue to live? He was her everything and now she had nothing. The one person she loved more than her son was gone. Lost forever.


She couldn't bring herself to leave her bedroom, where everything in it reminded her of her beloved Chimu. As long as she had these he would always be with her. His sword, armour, clothes, everything that was his. Romy didn't care for food or anything else. All she needed was her Chimu memorabilia and her life was almost complete.


She coughed and sniffled. She laid on the bed and put Chimu's pillow over her face, inhaling his smell. Oh how she loved the way he used to smell. It was the best smell in the world to her. The smell of a real man. She breathed it in again. The heavenly smell of her beloved. Romy knew the longer she did this the less air would reach her lungs, but she didn't care; all that mattered was the smell of her dear departed husband.


“My Lady don't!” Ayumi snatched the pillow off of Romy's face. “Master Yosuke sent me to check on you.”


Romy said nothing. She was furious! She took Chimu's smell away from her. She 3asn't about to let that happen. Her husband was taken from her but his smell was not. It was the one thing that she had that came close to the actual man and she wasn't about to let some dumb servant girl take that away from her.


She stood when Ayumi reached the door. Ayumi turned around and asked Romy if she was going to be okay. In her hands were all the pillows in the room, she was going to make sure that Romy didn't kill herself. Later she would return for the sharp objects.


Romy ran at Ayumi and jumped on her, pushing her through the shoji door.


“Give me back Chimu!” She screamed.


She grabbed Ayumi's throat and squeezed her wind pipe while banging her head against the ground.


Raine had just finished her bath and was heading back to her room when Romy and Ayumi broke through he shoji door. She instinctively stepped back and stood there in shock. When she saw Romy start attacking the poor girl she stepped in to help Ayumi.


“Romy stop this.” She said pulling on the woman's arm to get her off Ayumi, but Romy was stronger than she looked. When Raine got Romy off Ayumi, the older woman turned around and punched her in her face, making Raine fall backwards with a bleeding nose.


Ayumi tried to crawl away and get Yosuke, but Romy jumped on her back and started pounding her face into the floor. She kept on yelling: “Give me back Chimu!”


Yosuke, having heard the news, left his room to find his mother. In the middle of the hallway he found her beating up a poor servant girl and Raine on the floor dripping wet in a loosely fitting towel and her hand to her nose. He went over to his mother and pulled her off of Ayumi, who forgot all about the pillows and ran away
.

“She took away Chimu!” She screamed, trying to get away from Yosuke who was on his knees with her facing him.


“Okaasan, she did not take away outousan.” Yosuke said it though it pained him to.


“Yes she did!” Romy screamed still trying to get away.


“No she didn't.” Yosuke said.


“Yes she did!” Romy screamed.


Then all of a sudden, Yosuke slapped his mother in her face. “Get a hold of yourself! She didn't take outousan away. He's dead!” He shouted.


Romy stopped struggling and looked into Yosuke's eyes, tears forming in her own and shook her head.


“Accept it okaasan.” He said in a soft voice.


Tears started to flow down Romy's face as she continued to shake her head. She picked up the pillow she was smelling and retired to her room, locking the door.


Yosuke turned to Raine, who was by now, standing and watching. He took a deep breath and got up off the floor. He went over to Raine and looked at her nose.


“Let's get you to Myoko.” He said.



*oOo*


Raine was in the forest waiting for Thor. Her nose still hurt from the punch Romy gave her, which was surprisingly good. Ayumi also had a broken nose, a broken jaw, a burst lip and two missing teeth. The poor girl was now so afraid of Romy that she vowed never to set foot in that wing of the house again.


It was amazing the things people would hold onto when mourning the death of a loved one.


Thor jumped out of the trees and rushed towards Raine. “Are you okay? I smelled your blood.” He said.


“I'm fine. My mother-in-law punched me in my nose earlier.” She explained.


“She took out the man's death on you?” Thor asked as he inspected her nose. She hissed when he touched the bridge.

“No, she took it out on a servant girl. They got into a brawl and when I tried to break them up she punched me.” Raine explained further.


“I see,” Thor said after his inspection. “I have an elixir at home that can mend broken bones. My sister got it from my cousin during the war, but you won't need it. Hell, you can't even take it.”


“Yes I do. This thing will take so long to heal. And why can't I take it?” She asked.


Thor smirked. “My heat cycle ends today.” He said changing the subject.


Raine's lips curled upward. “I like where this is going.” She said.


Thor scooped up Raine and gently laid her on the ground. He leaned down and kissed her as he worked off his haori, obi and hakama as she took off her kimono. Once their clothes were off, he kissed her neck and kept travelling downward until he reached her belly. He kissed her stomach and gently rubbed it. Just beneath her skin was someone very special to him.


Raine noticed the special attention he was paying her stomach. She put two and two together and finally figured out why he was acting so strange.


Thor made his way up her belly and kissed her lips again with more love and passion. As he kissed her, he slowly turned around her body until their lips had to part. Now that she was on her stomach, he got on his knees and place his hands on her hips, raising her body off the ground a little. The burn on her back started to glow.


She clenched her teeth as Thor slowly and gently entered her. No matter how many times she slept with him it always hurt the same way. Soon her body was jerking back and forth in time with his thrusts and she found herself praising him with her moans. Each time they made love, it was better than the last.


Thor pulled her closer to his body. His wilder side had given him an idea; something that Thor was sure would drive her mad. But Thor wasn't so sure he should do it for fear of hurting her, but on the other hand it seemed fun so he decided to do it.


Still inside her, he turned her on her side and raised her left leg over his shoulder and placed her right leg between his thighs and slid his body even closer to his, sliding all of him inside her.


Raine was curious as to what Thor was doing. Then came the painful part. He put her legs on another awkward position and then slid even more of his length deeper inside of her; making the sex ten times better. He had no clue what he was doing to her. He body was on fire; she never felt so good in her life. She moaned louder and clawed at the ground.


Thor thanked his inner inu for the advice, this position really did drive her mad. She was practically singing. Next time he would not question his inner inu. Since this position presented a bit of a problem with hand placement, Thor put one hand on her left knee and the other pushing down on her right thigh.


He moaned and tilted his head back. Apparently this position was a positive for him too. He felt like was going to explode; a giant bomb of pure bliss. He put more pressure on Raine's thigh as he thrust faster. He felt like molten heat was coursing though his veins.


Raine was panting. She was getting tired fast and he burn was pulsing. She didn't think she would be able to even walk home. Unfortunately, her peak was near. Her toes curled and she moaned as she reached her peak.


Thor took Raine's leg off his shoulder and turned her over on his hands and knees. His inner inu was telling him to mark her but he knew he couldn't, at least not yet. The two sides of him fought and fought until Thor gave up and let his inner inu take over. His fangs elongated and he bit into Raine's shoulder as he released.


When Thor pulled out of her, she turned on her back and looked up at him panting.


“I'm...pregnant. Aren't I?” She asked.


Thor nodded. She smiled before passing out from exhaustion.
