Chapter 4: The lord of western lands

 

She heard voices. It was strange. Everything was buried in the darkness, but still she could hear some voices. The darkness. So calm, quiet, comforting and oddly warm. She wanted to stay in this dark place and never see any-one anymore. She frowned. These voices were bothering. She wanted them stop. She slowly opened her eyes just for….

 

“Yukata. You are awake! Pretty lady sleep for whole six days. Sesshomaru-sama was worried too, but he allow to Rin to watch pretty lady until she wakes up.”

 

Sakura stared at the girl who sat next to her bed.

 

~Where the hell am I? What is this place? It's like in Kira's shrine in Kyoto. It's felt so familiar. So strangely familiar.~

 

“Who are you?”

 

“I'm Rin. And what name is pretty lady?”

 

“I'm Sakura. Can you tell me where I am and what is this place?”

 

“I don't know. Sesshomaru-sama found you and brought you here. He told me not to wake you up. Will you play with Rin, when you get up?”

 

Sakura was desperately trying to find some sense in the child's talking. She was still confused and wasn't sure if she could take something more. Then her memories hit her. She remembered what happened in the cave. What happened to her. What Kurama did to her. Sakura wrapped her arm around her shoulders and shivered.

 

“Rin, is here someone who can tell me what happed?”

 

The little girl nodded her head and ran from the door. After a few moments she returned back.

 

“I will tell Sesshomaru-sama, so please don't fall asleep, before I bring him here.” With this she was gone. Sakura looked after her in disbelief.

 

~What the hell is going on?~

-------------------------------------------------

 

“So you can take care of her? Just for a while?”

 

Sesshomaru closed his eyes and nodded. When he looked at Kurama his features was emotional as usual. The thief before him was calmly waiting. He just needed to know if Sakura would be alright.

 

“You don't look too excited from this idea. Is it because she is a human?” Kurama asked him. The Lord of the Western lands shook his head and answered coldly.

 

“I don't care about her. But she will be ready to kill you, after what did you do to her. I still don't understand why you did it, anyway. It was stupid and childish. But you were always like that! You must always have what you want, don't care about anything else and in the end you are in real mess. This yours stubborn attitude of yours killed Kuronue, you know?”

 

Kurama clenched his fist but didn't say anything.

 

“Well, I will take care of her. It will be easy, she is just ill.”

 

“Why don't you heal her with your sword?”

 

“Tenseiga can't heal illness.”

 

“That sword can revive dead.”

 

“Death isn't illness, you idiot!” Sesshomaru started loosing his patience. He didn't show it before Kurama, but it was true. Something was bothering him, but he didn't know what exactly it was. First he wanted to know more about it. In the moment Rin came into the room where he and Kurama were.

 

“Sesshomaru-sama! Sesshomaru-sama! The pretty lady woke up. She has such beautiful eyes, Sesshomaru-sama. Can I be with her a little longer, Sesshomaru-sama?” she asked him. Sesshomaru shook his head. While he was standing up he told her.

 

“She will need rest and before it I must talk with her.” He passed Kurama and came out from the room. Rin looked at Kurama. She wasn't sure if she can ask him on something.

 

“Kurama-sama?”

 

“Hmm?”

 

“What happened to her?” she asked him innocently. Kurama was sure that he couldn't tell her the truth or Sesshomaru would kill him. On his face appeared a half smile when he answered her.

 

“She just stayed a long time in the rain. She will be fine after she gets some rest.” He was watching how Rin took that information and with a huge smile ran from the room. Kurama didn't doubt about Rin was going to her precious Sesshomaru-sama. He looked through the open door at one of many gardens, which were in the palace.

 

~Sesshomaru is right.~ He thought bitterly. ~I'm stubborn, but I just can't give her up. That night when I was with her, it was like bliss form heaven. I want everything from her not only her body, but her soul as well. I must try to seduce her again, but this time without herbs.~ Kurama distractedly touched his now healed chest. He was amazed by the amount of power she could summon when she was under pressure. Once again Kurama heavily sighed.

 

~I'm just wonder what I really want!~

---------------------------------------------------------

 

Sesshomaru silent footsteps resonated in halls, when he was heading into Sakura's room. His face was emotionless and cold like usual, but under this mask his anger was slowly raising up. When he opened the door The Lord of Western lands was overwhelming by the view in front of him.

 

The girl, who Kurama called Sakura, was lying on the bed, her hair on the pillow like the blackest velvet. In a contrast to hair, her face was pale but this only brought up her unbelievable beauty. Sesshomaru looked at curves of her body hidden under thin blanket.

 

He had to close his eyes for a moment to get his mind under control again. He tried to find something ordinary on her, but there was nothing. He took a deep breath and went in. When she heard sound of his presence she open her eyes but didn't look at him. Sesshomaru's anger rose up immediately.

 

~How dare she?!~

 

Before he could do something she spoke.

 

“Rin speaks about you really nicely. I guess that she consider you as a father. You must be a wonderful person, when an innocent child like her loves you so much, Sesshomaru-sama.” Finally she looked at him. Sesshomaru must admit that Sakura had really beautiful eyes. In the same moment he realized that her gaze is also full of sadness. But still, the light in her room was nothing in comparison to her eyes. He has never seen such eyes before. So deep and wonderful. Without sound he sat down next to her bed.

 

“Rin talks too much, sometimes. Do you feel better?”

 

“To be honest I'm not sure.” She told him slowly. “What was with me anyway? And how I got here?”

 

“I found you six days ago in the forest. You were unconscious and had fever. So I brought you here.”

 

Sakura was waiting if he tells something else but when he was silent she had to ask him.

 

“Somehow, I don't think this is all. May I know the rest, please?”

 

“When you were here for two days, someone appeared here. Actually, it was Kurama.”

 

“I see.” She said. Even Sesshomaru couldn't catch any emotions in her voice.

 

“I guess that he told you something.”

 

“He told me about you. What he did to you I already knew. I smelled it in your scent. It was easy to find out what happened.”

 

Sakura didn't say anything her face had the same calm expression as before. Silent started be uncomfortable between them. Sakura couldn't take it anymore, so she asked.

 

“What exactly this means for me?”

 

“Kurama asked me for help. Together we should be able to find your way back home. While me and Kurama will search in library you can rest. You need it, anyway!”

 

“May I help you somehow?”

 

“I doubt it. The most part of my library is in a demon language.”

 

“Hm, I can speak good German but that's all.” Sakura closed her eyes and Sesshomaru noticed that she was still very tired. He let her sleep and went out from her room. In front of the door stood Rin, her eyes wide. Before she could say something, Sesshomaru silent her by his hand on her mouth.

 

“She just felt asleep. Be quiet Rin and go play with Jaken.”

 

Rin nodded her head and ran to found Jaken. Not so far was standing Kurama unreadable expression on his face. When Sesshomaru passing him, Kurama silently joined him and both of them went to a library.

--------------------------------------------

 

Sakura had a nightmare. She was trying to run before something what she didn't see, but could feel. She screamed at her mind and tried to wake up. When she finally did it, her body was covered in sweat, her breath heavy. In the room was still heard of echo of her scream. She sat up on the bed.

 

Sakura put her hands on her face and silently sobbed. From nowhere appeared strong arms that hide her in embrace. First, she was shocked and stunned, but then her body started relaxing against another warm one. When the sobs stopped and her mind calmed down, Sakura looked up.

 

Next to her was Kurama, his face covered by shadow, so she couldn't tell what he was thinking about. She wanted pull back but his hands firmly hold her near to him.

 

“Did you have a bad dream?” his voice was smooth and low. Sakura shivered when she remembered her dream. She forgot what Kurama did to her and pressed her body tightly to his. Moonlight softly shone at two figures that sat without any words in healing embrace. When they separate from each other Sakura spoke.

 

“Thank you, Kurama. Sometimes, my dreams are more than I can stand on.”

 

“Everyone has a bad dream, sometimes.”

 

Sakura said nothing. The moonlight reflected on his fox ears when he moved.

 

“Why are you here, Kurama?” she asked him after a few moments. Kurama leant to her and rested his chin on top of her head.

 

“Actually, I wanted to apologize. I didn't do a right thing back in the cave. Can you forgive me?”

 

Sakura closed her eyes and a bitter smile touched her lips. A memory came to her mind. The feeling of dirty creep, when she woke up the next morning, was too fresh for her.

 

“No, Kurama, I can't forgive you.”

 

“Why not?” In his voice was heard surprise.

 

“First, you can't receive forgiveness just because you want it. Second, things like that simply can't be forgiven. Third, you are not honest. You just don't think you should apologize to me. You don't think that you did something wrong. Sorry, that I saying it so roughly, but you are absolutely convinced, that you can have everything what you want and desire, but for your information, I'm not a thing. Can you go out, please? I think I should go to sleep again.”

 

“You are pretty calm in my presence even when you hate me so much!” Kurama's voice was cold and angry when he lifted her chin, so Sakura was looking right into his eyes.

 

“I said; I can't forgive you! I've never said that I hate you. You are putting together two different things. Please go!”

 

Instead of this, Kurama kissed her. Roughly and hardly, with all passions which only demons could fell. His clawed fingers gripped in her hair. Her body was painfully pressed to his. Kurama could feel the tenderness of her skin hidden under the night kimono. One of his hands continued from her neck over her back to her waist, hungrily caressing thin fabric under his palm.

 

When he finally pulled away from her, he couldn't catch breath. Everything was blurred. Still, Sakura didn't look like as if she liked it.

 

“Fourth, and that is the main reason, you don't care if I forgive you or not. Get out, Kurama. Now!” her voice was soft, but her eyes were cold almost dead. Without any words he stood up and went out. On his tongue Kurama could still taste her. Out of her room he hit his clenched fist into a palm of his other hand.

 

~No matter what you think, Sakura, I will have you just for myself.~

----------------------------------------------------

 

In her dark and lonely room, Sakura bitterly laugh. From her beautiful eyes slipped down two crystal tears. She still felt his lips on hers. His tongue left wonderful sensation inside her mouth. Sakura lay down and buried her face in a soft pillow. Her body started shake. Deep in her soul were slowly growing feelings, which she has never expected to feel again.

 

Lust for his body and desire for his protective embrace. Trough sobs was hear of whisper.

 

“I hate you Yoko Kurama!”
