An Mismatch Adventure for a Mismatch Pair

[Naraku]

He lightly chuckles at her remarks though continues to walk. Being able to feel the warmth of her legs against his face. Placing his hands up and onto her thighs Mainly to hold her there and not fall backwards. "It is no trouble. Besides this way you do not have to waste so much energy in the walk." He continues to walk with her before softly smirking a bit gently adding to it. "Besides, from my understanding. Most royalties have their princesses carried so they do not have to walk such distances." He spokes and really not even knowing how they would be carried or anything but thought it sounded good.

With Ryuu walking his new pace since he was carrying her they reach the cavern much quicker. He peeks up towards her once they stood outside. “Well here we are. I hope this is not to much for a lady to handle.” He lightly smirks before looking straight. Leading his hands up from her thighs to her hips. To help lift her up over his head and down onto the ground before him.

He only smiles to her as he begins walking around and ahead of her down within the cave. There is many stories of this cave, but those are not the reason I chose this place.” He continues to look back to her but not really for what it may appear as he knew there was water within this cavern and was being sure to catch her if she slip. As he was making sure to be ready through their full walk.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

He was halfway right, but Fumiko knew it was not in this fashion. "Of course they are carried. But in their own carriage on soft pillows hidden behind a curtain!" How can a Lord be so naive? She huffed, fixing her kimono once set back on the ground and very anxious and hesitant to follow. She had a hard time walking on the uneven rock surface in her wooden sandals but she did her best.

[Naraku]

He pauses a moment and turns back to her and holding his hand out to her. "Maybe it is best if you remove your sandals through here. And do not worry it is not that bad here." He lightly smiles once more as he was offering to help support her on their walk. The sound over moving water could be heard further down, as there was the sound of water from the lake within. He smiles and continues to help her nonetheless if she took the offer or not.

They was soon right before the lake itself and there was already some bedding of pelts, looking quiet nice and soft. The sort most only the rich or a hunter who did such would have. Though most huntes would never keep such pelts. He releases her arm so she could go further to the campsite made. Though the only light was given from the light reflections brought in from the holes within the cavern and some reflecting off the water keeping it somewhat lit. “Well here we are.”

[Lord Sesshomaru]

It was a much better camping site than what she expected. At least she'd be able to be tolerably comfortable. Her sandals hung from her curled index finger and she chose one of the pelts and dropped them beside the large fur. The stone floor was slightly cold and damp, but it was oddly soothing.

Then, she turned towards him. Eyes calculating and seductive she took slow and deliberate steps closer. He had brought her hear as a bet. He had freely gifted what he had to her. And she was pretty sure she knew why. Stepping into his personal space, she pressed up against him, hands moving between layers of his kimono and sliding them a part. "Now that we're here, you can finally have what you want, right?" she smiled, tilting her head to the side as she moved up onto her toes, her lips grazing against his bared collar bone thanks to her hands tugging on his kimono. "This is why you brought me here, isn't it?" She asked, but it wasn't truly a question. She pushed for him to do as he pleased. Get it over with, so she could get what she wanted. It was all about give and take, after all.

[Naraku]

He softly smiles and steps towards her while thinking he may of got her happy here though his eyes only follow back at her own as she begins to slowly approach him. He could feel the sudden opening of his Kimono as his own cheeks seem to redden and her body brushing against his only made him stumble backwards.

He knew he was fully exposed before her now from her opening his garbs, though he closes his eyes and slowly fixes them before her. His cheeks was clearly stained with a blush though everything else seem non caring of it. “Now that I would love the company of a lovely lady as yourself, That was not my intent of bringing you here.”

[Lord Sesshomaru]

For once since Fumiko's career, she was unsure of herself. He had snuffed her so casually, that if she hadn't been so confused she would have been highly insulted. What man had ever turned her down or dismissed her advances? Frowning, her brows furrowed in thought as she lowered her head, taking a step back from him. Her hands were still raised, lingering on the fabric that he had taken the time to set right. She had played on his sympathy to get herself to this point, but from what she knew of men it wasn't just sympathy that got them to agree to what she wanted, because they always wanted something back in return.

"You expect me to believe it was only sympathy that made you do this?" She had played the damsel in distress, and although it fed their dominate side, they always expected a reward for their rescue. "That you want nothing from me at all?"

[Naraku]

He lightly chuckles a bit and shook his head. “No it was not all for sympathy, You are brought here due to I have found you quite entertaining. And no, I wish nothing in return for such. Besides this is a bet after all. You either hate your time her with me, and get whatever you wish, or I win and then I will take my prize. Which means if you enjoy traveling with me that you only continue to do so. So I think you have the better deal in the end. As I have only come for your company.”

He then looks down to her as she was still holding his clothing before quietly asking her. “Are you perhaps cold, I can make us a fire, or possibly let you cover up within the pelts.” He gives a soft gentle smile while his eyes meet her own.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

This only confused her more. At first his explanation was enough to accept...but he had come for her company. That only meant one thing, and yet he had resisted. Did he want her company, or not? Or did he truly mean for something so innocent as a traveling companion that didn't share his bed? It was hard for someone like her to comprehend, so she ignored his chivalrous offers and turned away from him. Bringing herself down onto the pelt she had chosen, she sat idly and still trying to think.

[Naraku]

He watches her move down and wanders exactly what he did. He though walks past her and thinking if she maybe hungry since she did not seem to eat much when with him during the meeting and unsure if she had time to even eat this day. He sighs a bit knowing this would be the hardest part to overcome.
Finding something she would eat even like. “So are you by chance hungry, I have a few things here, and I can get more based upon what you may like.” He glances back and tries to give a gentle smile to her.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

He was trying to hard. Fumiko realized it. But without the goal of him wanting to sleep with her she wasn't sure how to accept such offers. He acted like a newly appointed male that wasn't sure what it would take to get her affection. They had always started off so sweet and chivalrous. "Bamboo."

With all her thoughts, Fumiko had forgotten who she was dealing with. She was comparing him too much to the lesser men that tried to get her attention. He was no kitchen servant or castle guard, he was a Lord. A powerful one at that. Remembering herself, she bowed her head. "Please." she added quickly keeping her eyes downcast.

[Naraku]

Ryuukotsusei only pause with the food choice and ponders to himself. "I actually have plenty of bamboo, I do not eat it by I normally gather most good quality of bamboo when I do decide to make a shelter." He starts walking over to the bedding where he had place the bamboo shoots before glancing back towards her. "Do you like such raw or cooked. I will be honest I am unsure how one would eat anything that is not meat." He continues to pick up the pieces and starts walking over to the old fire pit that he clearly used once before.

As he was sitting them down next to it he moves down onto a pelt, thinking she would move over to join him since he had the bamboo. "There is actually a bamboo forest up North. Not many actually travels through it as it is so close to my home so the bamboo towers over."

[Lord Sesshomaru]

Fumiko hadn't noticed the bamboo already in the area. She was too busy being confused. Silently she moved over to sit beside him, taking the time to find the smaller and thinner rods of bamboo. "You are a Lord...why are you alone?" she asked suddenly, always confused on why he had brought no servants of his own, no generals and his odd desire to have simple and innocent company.

[Naraku]

He watches her for a moment go through it before his eyes move back before him. He seems not to even react to her question as his mouth opens, but instead of words a small sort of flicker came from his maw and down into the sticks before them, which quickly become aflame.

His eyes gaze down within the fire as he thought on how to answer her. “I take peace into solitude.” He glances over to her, yet without fully looking at her. “But I do have some who work for me. Or least they report to me. He then looks back into the fire "That or found anyone I wish to keep company of." He softly adds as if talking to himself and under his breath.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

"Hm." Was all her reply as the crunch of bamboo between strong teeth interrupted the silence. She had picked up the gesture from Sesshoumaru and for a moment wondered what her Lord was doing and how he took her sudden disappearance. "If I come with you, is this what awaits me? Caves and walks and just us two?"

[Naraku]

He could not help but chuckle at the thought of that. “Well I do love my cave dwelling, but I may have had ulterior motives in choosing this cave to bring you.” He then gives a slight shrug. “Now I can not always promise that being at my side is always glamorous as I seem to have a knack for trouble. But I do like to live it up at times. For example I have been doing my ruling from my own labyrinth sort of cavern but I have enlisted the creation of a sort of castle.”

He then peeks down at the bamboo shards she had and only back into the fire after the thought of what that had to taste of.
