M A T E (Sesshomaru)

11.

It was the next day and Niko was back to her half demon self meaning her injuries were healed within her. She sat up on the bed as the door opened revealing Naraku again.

"I see your back to your half demon form, take this," Naraku said handing her a new kimono.

This kimono wasn't the one Sesshomaru gave her, no this one was dark with spider markings all over it. She frowned.

"If I refuse?" She said not wanting to take off the precious gift Sesshomaru gave her.

"I will have Kagura seek out your precious Rin and kill her," Naraku states as Niko closed her eyes.

"As you wish Naraku," she said expecting him to leave but he didn't causing her to raise an eyebrow.

"Since we are to be married I'm going to be seeing you undressing yourself alot so please by all means,"

"WHAT?!" She yells as he smiles.

"Go ahead and get dressed in front of me Niko, I want nothing of Sesshomaru on you. Your my territory now, besides I can always get Kagura to-"

"NO!" She shouted clenching on the kimono. "I'll do it," she said causing Naraku to grin evily.

Sesshomaru was on A-Un trying to trace any scent of Niko. Who knows what he's doing to her but the one thing Naraku better not do is put a single mark on her. Once he marks her Sesshomaru wouldn't be able to have Niko anymore.

He gripped the reigns tighter thinking of another man marking her. He knew from the start that Niko was his Mate, but kept trying to deny it for his pride.

Now that she's been taken a lot of emotions were coming through at once. Most of all he feels a pain in his heart, Kagura said the moment he left her she will grab her, and that's exactly what she did.

"Curse that Naraku," he said causing A-Un to fly faster.

Once she was done getting dressed she felt violated against Naraku stare like he was undressing her all over.

"That's what I like to see, I hope your not hoping for Sesshomaru to come and find you, because nobody will be coming to your aid I'm all that's left,” he said causing Niko's ears to drop.

"Yes..... Sesshomaru wouldn't come for me," she gives in tears pooling in her eyes. "He hates us half demons why would he come?"

"Precisely, since I'm your suitor now we have a lot to get to know each other, so come," he said holding out his hand.

Niko hesitantly took is as he began to pull her away from the room and down some corridors of stairs. They went inside a dining room table where she saw Kagura, Kohaku and another girl dressed in all white.

"So, she's back to her half demon self is she?" Kagura was the first to ask having a fan over her face.

"Introduce yourself Niko," he grins as Niko looked down.

"Umm.... Hi, I'm Niko my parents betrothed me to him I haven't known that since it's always been-"

"Sesshomaru?" Kagura laughed finding it funny. "He wouldn't dare marry a half demon like you," Kagura says causing her ears to drop again.

"I know," she whispered quietly as food was coming out.

She noticed it was a feast as plates were being served.

"Naraku," The girl in white said holding onto her mirror like her life depended on it.

"What is it Kanna?"

'So that's her name' Niko thought before digging into the delicious food as everyone else was eating too.

Naraku growled seeing whatever was on the mirror.

"Kagura, snuff out the problem," he says in the middle of her eating.

"Yes Naraku," she said finishing her meal quickly before taking her leave.

Sesshomaru was almost there to Naraku's hideout, he had followed the faint scent of Niko her scent is mixed with Naraku's and he wanted to kill anything and everything in sight. If he had dared put his hands on her he will kill him on the spot.

However Sesshomaru was cutt off by Kagura the wind sourceress.

"Yo," she said with a smile on her face.

"Out of my way," Sesshomaru says glaring at her.

"I'm surprised your here, for sure you can't be here for Niko can you?" She asked with a raised smile.

"Why else would I be charging at Naraku's headquarters?"

"I guess that means you don't know then,"

"Know what?"

"Her parents knew you'd deny the proposal on the arranged marriage so they sought a second suitor for her, and that suitor is Naraku," she reveals causing his eyes to grow wide. "if you had approved of the proposal she wouldn't be with him now, she thinks your not coming for her,"

"HEY SESSHOMARU!" Kagura yelled as he flew away fast with A-Un before she could do any damage.
