Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Shadows ❯ Chapter 21 ( Chapter 21 )

Chapter 21

 

After Cale had left her, Satsuki had decided to take a shower of her own. Entering the lush bathroom, Satsuki stood in wonder for a moment. How could a man with such darkness in his heart have such a beautiful bathroom?

 

White tiles with small black roses cover the floor of the bathroom. The walls seemed to glow white. In the center of the whole room was a large claw footed black tube. Amazed at the richness of the room, Satsuki could only feel a little out of place. Shrugging off the feeling, Satsuki slips out of the robe and begins to fill the tube with hot water.

 

*******

 

Outside of the bathroom, Sekhmet listens to Satsuki take her bath. Hearing her splash about, Sekhmet smiles in anticipation.

 

Cale might have stopped me before, but he won't this time.

 

Daydreaming about what he intends for Satsuki, Sekhmet is almost caught off guard when he notices that he could no longer hear the sound of her in the water. Moving away from the door, he barely missing being caught by the girl.

 

Stepping out of room, Satsuki doesn't even notice Sekhmet standing in the corner. Walking over to Cale's closet, she opens the door and enters the walk-in.

 

Finding a drawstring pair of pants and a loose black shirt, Satsuki slips the clothing on before leaving the closet. Staring at her bare feet, Satsuki doesn't look up until she is back in the bedroom.

 

“I think I prefer the towel.”

 

Shocked, Satsuki's mouth drops open when she sees Sekhmet leaning against the doorframe to the bathroom.

 

“Get out,” she says.

 

“I find the pants and shirt cover up too much of your skin,” continues Sekhmet. “But that doesn't matter. I mean, it will mean I will have to remove more, but it will also make the moment last.”

 

Sekhmet pushes himself away from the doorframe and begins to walk toward Satsuki.

 

“If you touch me, Cale will kill you,” says Satsuki.

 

Laughing humorlessly, Sekhmet continues to move toward Satsuki.

 

“I fear nothing of Cale,” says Sekhmet.

 

“Oh really?” asks Satsuki. “Is that why you ran like a scared dog when he showed up here last time?”

 

Clenching his fist, Sekhmet glares at Satsuki.

 

“Face it, Snake-man,” says Satsuki. “The thought of Cale scares you shitless.”

 

“I would worry more about yourself,” says Sekhmet, lunging toward Satsuki.

 

******

 

Teleporting in the main room of the lair, Sage glances around before turning his attention to Cale.

 

“Where is she?” demands Sage.

 

“In my chambers,” replies Cale. “I thought it would be best not to teleport directly into the room.”

 

“Why?” asks Sage, suspicious.

 

“Nothing like what you are thinking of, Halo,” replies Cale, smirking. “It's been your sister's room for the last few days. She could be in the middle of changing her clothes. I'm sure she would rather you not teleport in while she is naked.”

 

Flushing at his mistake, Sage glances away from Cale before looking back. Noticing that Cale is walking toward the door, Sage follows him. Stopping outside a door, Cale waits for Sage before knocking once.

 

“Satsuki, I'm here with your brother. We're coming in,” warns Cale, before he pushes open the door.

 

As the door opens, the sight he sees makes him wonder if he had stepped back in time. Finding Sekhmet in the room with Satsuki, Cale rushes in.

 

“YOU!” shouts Cale, going for his sword, but realizing that he is only in his subarmor.

 

“Greetings,” replies Sekhmet, smirking.

 

Quickly Cale's eyes run over Satsuki. Except for the fact that Sekhmet was in the room and had Satsuki's wrist in his hand, she seemed to be ok.

 

Stepping forward from behind Cale, Sage also notices that Sekhmet is touching his sister.

 

“Get your filthy hands off of her,” shouts Sage, making a move toward them.

 

“I would suggest your control the Ronin, Cale,” replies Sekhmet.

 

Lifting his hand, Sekhmet reveals that he holds a small blade in his other hand. Pressing the blade against Satsuki's throat, Sekhmet watches the helpless, would-be heroes.

 

“I would hate for my hand to slip because Halo rushes me,” says Sekhmet.

 

“If you harm her…” says Sage, clenching his fists.

 

“Harm her!?” asks Sekhmet, eyes widening. “Now why would I do that?”

 

“What do you want?” asks Cale, glancing once at Sage to make sure the Ronin wasn't going to do anything stupid.

 

“We have some business to finish and she's going to be my insurance,” replies Sekhmet, smirking. “And when you're ready, you'll know where to find me.”

 

With nothing else to say, Sekhmet teleports himself and Satsuki out of the room.

 

 

THE END?
