Natsu pov:

I stood in front of the window in Sesshomaru’s room and gave a big stretch. I hadn’t left the room since he got injured and I treated him. Which mean, I hadn’t left the room even once since 9 days. I felt like I had imprisoned myself in his room, but no matter, I just couldn’t leave him alone. Besides, soon after he had momentarily become conscious, I had a doctor check up on him. The reason why he was unconscious was because he had been poisoned.

“Ne chan!” I turned to the door and smiled when Kaito and Rin entered. “We made this for you!” Rin held out a tiara made with flowers and I chuckled and sat on my knees in front of them. “That’s very pretty! Thank you.” I smiled and let them place it on my head. They blushed and giggled and then ran out of the room. I shook my head and chuckled again.

“Rin seems to have taken quite a liking to you.” I snapped my head around and saw Sesshomaru sitting up on the bed. I smiled wide. “You’re finally awake!” I got off the floor and made my way to him. I placed a hand on his forehead and another on mine. “Hmmm, your fever’s gone completely. That’s good.” I pulled away and saw him watching me curiously.

I sweatdropped and stepped away. I chuckled nervously. “Oops…sorry ‘bout that.” I looked to the side and scratched the back of my neck awkwardly. Well its not like I hadn’t checked his temperature before, but those times he was unconscious. Besides, I had kinda agreed upon my feelings of liking him more than normal when I watched over him….so yeah.

I heard shuffling and when I saw Sesshomaru’s feet right in front of me and tilted my head up and cringed back when he was too close to comfort. Too close to comfort in a sense that it made my heart go crazy and my body get tingly. I sighed and took a few steps back only to be grabbed by my arm by Sesshomaru. I flinched and looked at him with one eyes.

“Onna…..” “Uh, Sup’ your royalness?” I laughed like an idiot. Jeez I was so awkward now. “You didn’t leave.” I looked at him and for the first time, I saw him surprised. It was like he wasn’t expecting me to stay and take care of him. “Well, yeah….I couldn’t. I mean, I’m sure if anyone else took the responsibility to help you heal, they would have stayed too.” I shrugged but he didn’t seem to lose the look of surprise.

Sesshomaru pov:

I observed this strange human. She said that it was an obvious fact to watch over me when I was wounded and unconscious.

I knew that people were greedy and selfish. And seeing this Sesshomaru in such a pathetic state, anyone would have left me to die. I would be considered weak and not worthy to be a lord, and if they had a chance, they would find a lord to kill me and take my place as the lord of the now 2 lands. But this human had stayed and nursed me back to health instead of abandoning me. Especially after the way she had hated when I had kissed her and held her to me.

I even remember that when I had woken up partially when she was re wrapping my wounds….I had held her and she had held back. Any other person would have pushed me away. But she held me gently. Like a mother would hold her child. And surprisingly I, a strong demon lord, this Sesshomaru had felt safe when she held me. Knowing that no one would hurt me in my current state.

What was going on in this woman’s mind? She made me so curious, so restless, so distracted.

She tilted her head slightly and waved her hand in front of my face. “Earth to Sesshomaru? You in there?” I snapped out of my train of though and narrowed my eyes at her. She just watched me without a hint of fear. That was also something that surprised me. She never seemed scared of me at all.

I walked closer to her and she cringed back and watched me suspiciously. I felt a strange feeling and I pulled her by the arm to my chest. “Woah!” she collided with me and I wrapped my arm around her small frame. Her body was small, and yet she fought without fear or hesitance against enemies and even Naraku. And she had managed to win a fight against Naraku too.

I put my face in her hair and she squirmed in my hold. “Um….Sesshomaru? What are you doing?” I noticed that she had stopped addressing me as lord and surprisingly it didn’t anger me at all. It made me feel more important. The title of lord that everyone called me was somehow like out of fear and respect for the powers and status I possessed. But when this human called me by my name, I felt…..warm.

She sighed but then held me around my chest and I closed my eyes. I took in her scent deeply. It was a mix of something sweet and my scent. She had been staying with me the whole time and I could tell just by the concentration of my scent on her.

I snapped my eyes open, suddenly the situation coming to me. I was holding a human female to me as if she were someone I loved. I pushed her away roughly and clenched my fist. What was this Sesshomaru doing?! She looked surprised and slightly hurt but was pretty good at hiding it. She gave a smile. “I’ll go to the kitchen and ask someone to get you some food, ok?” She bowed and walked out of the room.

I clenched my jaw and glared at the door through which she had just left. I stepped back slowly and sat down on the bed. I clenched my fist tighter and hissed slightly when I felt my claws cut through my flesh. How could I be letting this happen? I was becoming like my father! Because of a foolish human, he became weak! He mated with a human and fathered a half breed, and they were the reason such a great demon was pathetically killed.

I swore to never walk the path my father took! He was foolish, but I wasn’t like him. I would not let a female affect me….I shut my eyes and growled. That wench’s face kept flashing in front of me. And with that flower woven on her head, she looked beautiful than most females I had seen, even demon.

Dammit! Why was I thinking she was beautiful? Why was I even comparing her to any other females I had seen in my 100 years of life?

I took a breath. It must be the fever and the weakness from the wounds I had. I would never become weak to have any bonds with anyone besides if they were business. It was the effect of the wounds I had got from the recent battle.

Yes….this Sesshomaru couldn’t be wavered so easily. And I would forget about this.

Natsu pov:

I was so happy! Sesshomaru was finally awake! He had healed well over the last few days.

Now I was on my way to the kitchen to order some food for him. I walked into the kitchen only to be greeted by all the glares possible. I rolled my eyes and sighed. I shook my head and beamed. “Lord Sesshomaru is finally awake! I’ve come to take a meal for him.”

The minute I said that, the whole atmosphere changed. People broke out into smiles and some ran out to tell everyone else in the castle. “So is someone gonna give me his meal?” I asked and one of the demons working there glared at me. I raised and eyebrow and groaned when I heard Mina enter the kitchen.

“Mother! I heard Lord Sesshomaru is awake!” she came in squealing and ran to the lady who was glaring at me. My mouth went slightly open. “You’re her mom??” I asked surprised. She glared again and stomped to me. “Yes that’s right! And my Mina is going to become Lord Sesshomaru’s mate! It seems you are causing some problems but we will deal with you in time! But for now, Mina will take his meal to him.” She sneered and I rolled my eyes.

Although, I did feel a pang of hurt when she said Mina wanted to become Sesshomaru’s mate. I mentally chuckled at myself. I cant believe I was getting jealous just because she mentioned something like that. I mean, Sesshomaru had hugged me, kissed me and even confessed that he had never done anything close to what he had done to me. So it kinda meant he liked me right? Or atleast meant I was sorta special to him….right? He had even hugged me the minute he woke up! So there had to be some meaning to it….

But right now it looked like I wouldn’t be the one to take his meal so I just shrugged and walked out of the noisy kitchen. I had been neglecting Kaito and Rin for quite some time now, so it would be good to catch up with them. Besides, I’m sure they’d be really happy to know that Sesshomaru was awake and ok now.

I made my way to the garden where they usually played and bumped into Kazuki on the way. He raised an eyebrow and looked at me. “Seeing you out of the lord’s room and smiling like that, I’m guessing he’s finally awake.” I chuckled and shook my head. “Yeah, you guessed right. He’s healed well.”

Kazuki watched me for a minute and I tilted my head. “Hello? Kazuki, you’re spacing out.” He closed his eyes and chuckled. “I was just thinking of the reasons why Lord Sesshomaru likes you.” I furrowed by brows. “Likes me? I think its more like him being thankful for saving him.” I shrugged but Kazuki nodded no.

“It’s the first time in my 76 years of serving him that he has shown the slightest emotion to anyone besides Rin. He seems to not know himself and he’s probably denying it too, but he has come to have strong affection towards you.” I blinked, my mind blank, but confusion and surprise swirling inside me.

I always thought that I was misinterpreting his gestures but when Kazuki said this…..he had been with Sesshomaru for so long so it would be so easy for him to tell what Sesshomaru was probably thinking. But this….this was the last thing that I assumed Sesshomaru would be thinking. But his actions did seem to have some meaning…..

I smiled and let out a breath. “I don’t know whether he like me or not, and honestly it doesn’t matter. Because in the end, even if I like him back, we cant be together. But thanks for telling me this.” I smiled once more and bowed. I turned around and walked away to find Rin and Kaito before Kazuki could say anything else.

I sighed sadly. There was definitely no way this would last. I wasn’t from this world. Someday I would go home right? Besides I had to find Rei…..but….

I couldn’t deny it any more. I had fallen in love with Sesshomaru. I stopped walking and bit my lip. I should tell him right? If I don’t tell him….I know I will regret not telling him for the rest of my life.

Thinking so, I swiftly turned around and began to jog back to his room. I had to tell him! I just had to! When I made it to his room I was panting and I blinked when I saw Mina being thrown out of his room. She has scratches on her cheek and arms and was bleeding. She was crying as well and when she saw me she ran past me while covering her face.

I turned and watched until she disappeared wondering what had happened. But I shrugged and went to the door of Sesshomaru’s room. It was open and I peeked in. He had his fist clenched and I could see the blood dripping from his palm. I gasped and he turned around with a glare. But his eyes softened a little when he saw me and I ran to him and held his hand.

“Jeez! Why are you hurting yourself?!” I took the bandages that were lying on the table and gently wrapped them around his hand. When I looked up at him, I blushed slightly because he was watching me intently. I sweatdropped and took a step back. “Sorry, I did it again.” I mumbled.

“Why didn’t you get my meal?” I scratched my cheek. “Oh, Mina said she wanted to bring it to you….” We stood awkwardly in silence for a minute and then he spoke. “Why did you come back?” I looked up and felt butterflies. “Oh right….I…uh…I wanted to tell you something.” I cleared my throat in slight nervousness and looked at the ground while fiddling with my fingers.

“W-well, the thing is….Um….I…I l-love you, Sesshomaru. I know that its not right for me to love you or see you in any way besides a person who hired me, but I really do love you. But just because I told you this, you don’t have to be burdened or anything by me. You can fire me for all I care, but I just thought you should know….” I looked up but Sesshomaru looked surprised slightly.

I sweatdropped again and rubbed my neck. “Well…since I got that out….I’ll just be going now….yeah…bye.” I turned around, but I was pulled by a hand and pushed on my back onto Sesshomaru’s bed. I felt him lower himself on me and the next moment, his lips were on mine.

I felt my heart pound in my ribcage and my face was hot. His lips moved feverishly against line and I felt all logical thoughts fly out the window. I brought my hands up and wrapped them around his shoulders and I kissed back slowly. He growled and put his arm below me and lifted me off the bed slightly so I was flush against him and my face felt even hotter.

After a few minute he pulled away and I was panting. My chest felt tight and I hadn’t let go of his shoulders. I stared at his eyes. “Onna….you are not allowed to leave me for any other man. I wont let you go. You are mine.” I chuckled and leaned up to kiss him gently once.

“I don’t know whether what I’m doing is right…..but I will trust you. I will trust you that you wont push me away. I….care for you and I wont betray you. Because I know what its like to be betrayed by the one you love….and I love you Sesshomaru.”

He didn’t say anything but lowered down and put his face in my shoulder. I smiled and closed my eyes. I patted his head and he sighed. He returned my feelings. And something told me that I could trust him. I could trust him right? After all he is a very stubborn demon and for him to say that I belonged to him obviously meant something.

He pulled away and got off me and I blushed in embarrassment. I stood up too and cleared my throat. “I should probably check on the Rin and Kaito….” I walked past him slowly but he caught my wrist. I turned to look at him and he bent down and kissed me once more before letting go. I squeaked and my face turned scarlet.

I laughed awkwardly and sprinted out of the room before I could faint of embarrassment.

Sesshomaru pov:

I kissed her again not being able to let go of the feeling it brought me. Its like I couldn’t let go of her lips. She laughed and her face turned red and then she ran out of my room. I watched the door for a few seconds and ran my hand through my hair.

I had told myself that I wouldn’t become weak like my father and I wouldn’t let myself to get attracted to a human. But when she had said the words that foolish humans always say, the demon inside me had gone wild. I had pounced on her and kissed her.

But after she had left I had begun to think. The general of the eastern lord had mentioned something about a pond in their kingdom. It was an elixir that could turn a human into a demon. So planning to make her my mate wouldn’t be a problem. After she had confessed, it meant that she had become mine completely.

So if she were to ever touch another male or any man were to touch her…..both would die.
