Take what was his?<br/><br/>He liked the sound of that. Actually to be more accurate, he thoroughly liked the sound of that. She was absolutely correct. It was his, all of it. And he had just taken what was rightfully his away from some simpleton human and now was the time to show her how and remind her that she would be his and only his forever. His pace quickened with ease at her words, his lips captured her own. A very low groan escaped him before their lips parted. Chikage felt so full of energy. It was strange that just before he was a little wounded, but now that it was healed he felt as though his body knew no bounds.<br/><br/>His hands moved around her body, touching every curve and allowing his fingertips to caress her skin. It was finally that the Oniâ€™s hands rested at her hips, giving himself a good handle of her body so that he could keep up with his motions. It wasnâ€™t before long that he felt himself on the brink and eventually relinquished himself inside of her. At first he gritted his teeth at the impact that it had on his body, but then slowly he began to lean against her body, panting against her neck.<br/><br/>It had felt as though it had erupted from deep within him, causing his body to quiver just a bit. He waited a few moments until his breathing became even and then finally he removed himself from within her. The blond moved back away from her, his eyes still roaming her body until he met her eyes. Chikage looked into them for just a few moments before withdrawing himself from the water and heading towards his room. So many thoughts had been swimming in his head. It had been thoughts of right then and thoughts of earlier before theyâ€™d met up again.<br/><br/>The Oni couldnâ€™t stress enough how much he missed her. Being with her just now, was something that heâ€™d never dreamed of being able to do again. He thought sheâ€™d either been taken from this world or removed from the area by herâ€¦.brother. Chikage stopped right before he got to the door. For a second there, heâ€™d almost forgotten about that being. The individual that threatened to take her away from him. It had been a long time since they had last met. There was no way he was going to allow him to take her. He was more than prepared this time. Shaking all negativity from his mind, he moved on inside.<br/>There what was waiting for him was the maiden that had tended to them bother earlier. A slight blush crawled and settled onto her cheeks. He shouldnâ€™t be surprised, he was bare for everyone to see. He cleared his throat and thrust out his hand for her to place the cloth in. She handed it to him and he began to dry himself before giving his next order. â€œI need you to go out there and hand her something to dry off with as well. I also need my hakama that I handed off earlier to be cleaned.â€ He turned from the girl and her blush quickly disappeared.<br/><br/>â€œYes, mâ€™lord.â€ Quickly, she pivoted heel and headed outside to where Mishiko was. As he dried himself he checked his side where his wound had previously been. Tonightâ€™s events flickered through his mind as he touched the area where a scar should have been. It was amazing that she was able to do that. When had she learned such an ability? He sat down on his mat and heaved a sigh before another older lady entered the room. She lie his linen before him with a bow.<br/><br/>â€œAll cleaned, just as you had requested mâ€™lord.â€ He was pleased to say the least. Any signs of damage had been repaired and the blood that had stained it had been invisible. Great work. He wished that those back at home could take note of this. With a nod, he dismissed her and began to put on his clothes. It had been quite late, but he didnâ€™t feel the need to stay in the village any longer. He was ready to head back home now. This place was nice to run off to in case of emergency or even perhaps as a vacation. But he had wasted enough time on that peasant and he couldnâ€™t say he spent that last couple of hours after that too terribly, but it was enough to put him behind. He needed to head back to his home, gather his troops and hopefully recoup after the war with the Shinsengumi. Chikage had wondered how Mishiko would react or what she would say. He was curious to know how she would feel about going back there, because earlier it had seemed that she had been against it. Or maybe it wasnâ€™t that she was against it, but more or less she had felt trapped there with those women.<br/><br/>He had a clear mind now, so he hadnâ€™t expected her to stay there while he went away or to feel obligated to do anything. He wanted her to be happy. And what he truly wanted was for her to come back with him. He was almost certain that she had this attachment to the small child that had been following her around. Could she leave her behind? Or would she want her to come along. He hadnâ€™t prepared an answer for that yet, but he also didnâ€™t want to disappoint her. After he was fully dressed, he lie down with a sigh. He felt a little tired, probably because he did battle with a man and then his woman. He laughed a bit aloud. What a turn of events.<br/><br/>He wondered what everyone would say when he brought her back with him. And Natsu, he couldnâ€™t wait to get his hands around her neck. How could she chase off his woman? She would be severely punished thatâ€™s for sure. The blond sat up and ran his fingers through his tresses before standing to his feet and gathering his sword from within the corner of the room. They had sharpened It and cleaned this as well.<br/><br/>He really was impressed.
