13 How I Feel

She looked him in the eyes meeting nothing but a cold stare. He was calm and collected, serious. She knew she needed to be honest, but she had never really though about it so much. All she knew is she liked being around him, and he made her nervous, shy and made her heart beat uncontrollably. But was that cause she really liked him or cause of his status and power? "I- I don't know, I haven't really thought about it like that." For a second hurt registered in his eyes and he dropped his hand from her chest. He then turned around and faced the wall. "Do you want to know how you make me feel?" He asked her in a low voice. "Seth? I am sorry but where is all this coming from?.." He turned around once more to face her and this time he quickly walked towards her closing the distance. She instinctively stepped back as he stepped forward but was eventually met with the wall. Seth caged her in between his arms. She looked up at him unable to escape his face just inches away from hers, she could feel his breath on her lips, his eyes began to turn a shade of crimson. "Seth?" She had never seen him like that. "I can't control this. I wish I could, I honestly don't know if I want it.. But I see you and I just have to have you." He immediately took her lips with his very forcefully. He hadn't kissed her like this before. There was such a need and hunger behind this kiss. It sent her senses all over, it was almost intoxicating. She had never felt like this before, her body was reacting so much to his touch. She felt an unfamiliar heat and desire only confusing her more but she wasn't breaking the kiss. She was accepting it, she was allowing his tongue to invade her mouth in ways it had never been. Seth almost remembering something broke the kiss. He stepped away from her almost like he was hurting and in pain. "I am sorry I don't know what came over me." His eyes had returned to his original black orbs. He looked at her and her state only made him regret leaving her lips. She was breathing hard, her lips parted and eyes half closed. Her lips where slightly swollen from his forceful kiss and her chest kept rising up and down with each breath.

She simply shook her head slowly indicating it was okay. "I should go, also I am sorry about what I said earlier... When I think about the past it makes me mad and my anger gets the best of me." Yuki tried to gather herself as well as she could. "Its fine I shouldn't have pushed it.. But I did mean what I said." He looked down in thought for a few seconds and then looked up at her "Okay I'll think about it." He then left leaving a very hot and bothered Yuki. That night she couldn't sleep there was too much on her mind she seemed to forget how tired she was. Eventually her body protested and succumbed to sleep.

The next morning she woke up hungry, due to recent events she hadn't eaten in a while, she was starving. She got up and dressed herself. She had never had so much clothes to choose from before. and they where all so beautiful. She eventually picked something and got dressed. As she exited her bedroom she found herself with two guards posted outside her room. She sighed and wonder if Seth really had to do all this. "Umm excuse me, can you please direct me to the kitchen?" She asked the guards who happily helped her. They didn't seem so bad she though, maybe not all demons where evil like she thought. She entered the kitchen and found some servants bickering over what to make her for breakfast. They only realized she was there when she spoke. "I'm sorry, you don't have to cook for me, I can take care that myself. I really appreciate it though." She smiled at them kindly. "But my Lady! The Lord will be upset with us, please let us." She tried not to show how awkward she felt being called Lady. "Why would he be upset, you guys tried your best. I can take care of it from here." "But-" " You guys heard her, you are dismissed." Seth who was standing at the doorway with his arms crossed spoke up. The servants immediately bowed. "Yes your highness." Then they left the room.

"You didn't have to tell them to cook for me, at least let me do that much. No one else here has the need to eat but me." " Have it your way, make sure you eat plenty, we have a long day ahead." "Really what are we doing?" "Training." "Really!? Oh I can't wait!" Yuki was excited she prided herself in being smart in combat. "Meet me in the garden after you are done." "Seth!.. Thank you." "For what?" "Letting me stay here and the food oh and the training.. You see I haven't had a proper meal since I was a child." The Prince looked at her and glanced over at the table full of all sorts of ingredients. Fruits, Vegetables, Meats. Then it hit him, he was the reason she had suffered so much after her father's death. "Forgive me." He said quietly looking down. "Huh?" Yuki couldn't hear what he said and he left before she could find out.

Seth arrived at the garden where he would wait for her, Neil greeted him. "Hey there! You look happy what's up?" Neil said sarcastically, in reality Seth was really upset. "I don't know what to do." "What do you mean, regarding what?" "Yuki.. I realize what my actions have done to her, not just her but countless others." "Is this guilt you are feeling, are you regretting all you've done?" "I don't know, all I know is I've hurt her and.. I really want to be with her... forever." "Whoa there! You are talking bonding, mating and all that. If you do that you'd become a King but she would be Queen, a human queen! Do you really think demons would follow a kingdom under her rule?" "I would be their King so they'd have no say in the matter." "But Seth, you can start a war within the demons, are you sure you are willing to risk that? What does she think, how does she feel?" "I don't know.." "Huh! don't tell me you've decided all this on your own, without telling her!? Are you crazy, you can't force her!" "I will not force her. That's what I want, but if she doesn't feel the same I can't do anything about it." "..Until you know if she feels the same I think you should take back the elemental stone from her." "There's no need for that." They both turned around when they heard Yuki say that. They wondered if she had listened to everything but the way she was acting made it clear she only heard the stone part. "I am giving it back." "You don't-" Seth tried to interrupt. "I want to give it back. Look I really don't think that I should have it. It's too important and if it falls on the wrong hands it could be a big deal." "I agree." said Neil, Yuki continued. "You can take care of it, I can't, you are the Prince it belongs to you." She handed him the necklace with the stone in it. Seth accepted it. "If that's what you want, fine. Are you ready for training?" "Yes!" "Oh that's happening right now!? Now this I have to watch." Neil followed them to the center of the garden where there was plenty of room to spar.

"Okay, show me what they've taught you at this school of yours. Come at me with everything you've got." "Everything?" "If you don't come at me like you are trying to kill me you'll never have a chance at getting close to me, much less land a hit." "Okay, I'll try." Yuki raised her fist up and assumed her fighting position. Seth just stood there with his arms crossed looking at her. "You shouldn't take me so lightly." "Well if that Shiro guy was supposed to be the best and he couldn't land a hit, I don't expect you to either." He smirked and that got under Yuki's skin. "I'll show you." She launched herself at him punching and kicking. She was definitely agile but she was a human so everything from Seth's perspective looked to be in extreme slow motion. That is why he was able to dodge everything, he was just too fast. "Not bad, you have nice movements, If I were a human you'd probably have a chance, maybe even win." He jumped up and landed on a tree. "Hey! that's not fair I can't do that." Neil was being very amused by her. "Hahaha, there is no such things as a fair fight. When you are truly up against someone they'll use everything against you." He told her. "Yea but when will I ever be fighting a demon? Never.. I'd have no chance." "You never know." She looked up at Seth who made his way down to her. "What is that supposed to mean?" "I mean the fact that you won't fight a demon because you know better, doesn't mean a demon won't try to fight you." "That's right, now that you two lovebirds are together there might be a demon or two in disagreement to that." Seth and Yuki both blushed and looked down embarrassed at Neil's sudden words. "Haha you should see your faces!" Seth quickly got over it. "Shut up Neil you are interrupting her training, don't you have to go check on her grandma?" "Grandma? Can I come? I'd like to bring her some food, if possible." Seth looked at her and nodded then looked at Neil. "You better protect her with your life." "Yes sir!" "Thank you Seth, I'll go pack some food and meet you at the entrance in 20 minutes, is that okay Neil?" "Sure, I'll be waiting." She happily left to get the food. "Let me know if you come across any trouble, I'll be close behind you guys. I have to go talk to a demon first." "Who do you have to go see?" Neil asked intrigued, Seth never visited demons. "One of the elders." "What for, is something happening?" "You ask to many questions, I'll see you later." He then disappeared and Neil made his way to the entrance, but first he had an idea.
