She opened her striking blue eyes, blinking rapidly as her surroundings came into focus. Fearful and grotesque demons loomed over her, their jagged teeth and glowing eyes casting an ominous shadow. Yet, a flicker of calm washed over her when she spotted the small human girl, Rin, standing bravely among the terrifying figures, her innocent face contrasting sharply with their monstrous forms. Oddly enough, an ugly toad demon also lingered nearby, its warty skin glistening in the dim light.
A deep ache coursed through her body, and she could feel her veins pulsing with an unfamiliar energy. Confusion swirled in her mind as she struggled to recall how she had arrived in this nightmarish realm. "Where am I? And why am I here?" she questioned, her voice a mix of fear and defiance.
The demons remained by her bedside, their eyes fixed on her with a combination of intrigue and anticipation. The atmosphere was thick with tension as one of the larger demons,his voice rumbling like thunder, finally spoke. "Human, you are carrying the heir of the Great Lord Demon." Each word reverberated in the air, leaving her stunned and grappling with the weight of this revelation.
Oh, so it's true.... Is it That easy to get pregnant just after one time. I feels so surreal.....
She lowered her gaze to her hands, a rush of disbelief coursing through her. Could it be true? She was carrying a child—the heir of The Lord Demon! A thrill of excitement mingled with fear coursed through her veins, awakening senses she never knew she had. The world around her sharpened, and she could hear the faintest whisper of life, a heartbeat that echoed in the silence.
Suddenly, her gaze flicked up, locking onto the imposing figure of the Great Demon Lord, Sesshomaru, framed in the doorway. The moment he entered, a palpable shift occurred; the other demons, sensing his presence, dropped to their knees in a mixture of reverence and trepidation. But she—a mere mortal—felt his aura long before he appeared. Her heart raced, a silent storm of thoughts swirling within her.
" You are awake."
His voice makes my heart flutter, yet loving him would be my demise....The chance of a human carrying a child of a demon is slim to none.... I have to admit I didn't think about none of these things in the heat of the moment thinking about my life.. I want to at least see my Mother and Father one more time.....I allowed myself to be sucked into the middle of the battle, and I never thought rationally about my choice or my own well-being.
She rose from the tangled sheets, casting them aside with a swift motion as they fluttered to the floor. Her eyes landed on her jacket, marred by dark crimson stains that stood in stark contrast to the fabric's faded blue. A wave of hesitation washed over her; she lingered for a moment, her breath catching in her throat as she gradually slid her arms into the sleeves, feeling the cold material against her skin.
"Where do you think you're going, human?" one of the demon minions sneered, his voice rough like gravel. His eyes glinted with a mixture of amusement and trepidation as he stepped forward, his clawed hands twitching at his sides. "You're carrying the offspring of the Great Lord Demon, you know." The weight of his words hung heavy in the air, underscoring the perilous situation she found herself in.
" Well, I certainly am not wasting my life away until I give birth to his parasite, suck the life out of my eyes in this hell hole of a castle... Honestly, it seems a little depressing." She spoke in a casual tone, her voice barely above a whisper, while carelessly shrugging her shoulders as if the weight of the world rested on them. Her nonchalant demeanor belied the tension in her eyes, hinting at the complexity beneath her easy facade.
"Did this wretched human dare to call the heir of The Great Lord Demon a parasite?" a multitude of demonic minions gasped in disbelief, their eyes blazing with indignation. The cavernous hall, dimly lit by flickering torches, pulsed with the energy of their outrage as they shifted uneasily, their sharp claws scraping against the stone floor. It was an unthinkable insult to their lord—a being steeped in power and majesty. The air thickened with tension, and an unsettling growl resonated among the ranks as the minions glared at the audacious human, their loyalty to the heir igniting a fierce sense of protectiveness.
The truth is as foolish and naive as I am.
Yuki could feel the piercing gaze of the Great Lord Demon, Sesshomaru, burning into her. She gripped the fabric of her jacket tightly, heart racing, as their eyes locked—an accidental yet electric moment that sent a jolt of longing through her. Her heart felt as if it were about to burst, overwhelming her with emotions that could only be described as love. Yet, nestled beneath that affection, there was a deep-seated fear and confusion.
Why is she like this?
She was carrying his child, a miracle intertwined with a whisper of tragedy. Instead of joy, an unsettling numbness enveloped her. It was surreal—everything felt out of reach, like a dream she couldn't wake up from. Even as Sesshomaru's expression turned cold, she sensed the warmth of his unspoken feelings, masking layers of affection beneath his stoic exterior.
But deep down, Yuki understood the profound impossibility of their love. A human and a demon? It was a fantasy destined to crumble under the weight of reality. The ache in her chest was unbearable as she grappled with the truth; their worlds were irreconcilable. In the grand tapestry of fate, she felt like a thread that could never weave into the fabric of his life. In that moment, she stood torn between two lives—one filled with longing and the other shrouded in the heart-wrenching certainty of what could never be.
" Please allow me to leave, Sessy."
