Rose of Love

Chapter Seven


Rose woke up and found herself in a room that had candles everywhere. She sat up and looked around the mysterious room. There were stone pillars which stood on each side of the room. Weird statues were in between the pillars and above them were red fabric cloths that had golden patterns on them. The room lite up even more just as she was about to stand up.

“Looks like the peasant is finally awake,” said a cold voice.

Rose looked toward her left and saw Fukai sitting in a golden throne, smirking at her. Rose got to her feet and turned toward her sister.

“Why did you bring me here?” Rose asked.

“Silence!” Fukai yelled as she whipped Rose to the ground. “You’re in my territory now. You do not speak unless I tell you to.” Rose glared at her sister as she sat up on the cold floor. “The fun will start soon.”

“What do you mean by that?” asked Rose.

“No talking!” Fukai swung her whip at Rose again, this time sending her flying into the wall. Rose sat there motionless, her body aching from the attack. “That’s better.” Fukai took out a silver collar and flung it at Rose. The collar clipped itself around Rose’s neck just as she started moving. Rose grabbed the collar and yanked at it, trying to get it off. Fukai sat there, laughing as she watched Rose struggle with the collar. “The collar won’t come off without the remote.”

“Why are you doing this?”

“It’s easy sister. You killed my father and now I’m here to avenge him. I’ll make sure you suffer before your death.”

“I had to kill him Fukai. He was evil and didn’t care about us or mom.”

“Shut up!” The whip slammed into Rose’s back once more, making her cough. “I’ve had enough of this half demon. Lock her away in one of the cells until I need her again.”

“Right away mistress,” said one of the servants. Rose was carried out of the room and into a dark hallway.


Kurama wondered the forest, searching for the mountain’s entrance. He told Yusuke that he was going to rescue Rose and for him and the others to stay here. Six hours had past since Rose’s abduction and Kurama was growing more worried and furious by the second. Kurama passed a huge tree and saw the mountain’s base. Kurama wasted no time and started climbing up the mountain.


Meanwhile, Rose was sitting in a dark, cold cell all alone. Her body was still aching from the whipping that she had got. But her mind was on Kurama and her hopes were not gone. She shifted her body a bit and winced at the pain that coursed through her body. “I will not give up,” she said to herself quietly. She closed her eyes for a brief moment when she heard the cell door open. She opened her eyes and saw one of the servants standing in the doorway.

“The mistress would like to see you know,” he said.

Rose got up slowly and walked out of the cell. The two of them walked down the same dark hallway and to a room that was well lite up. It was a different room that looked like a huge cellar. She turned her head to the left and saw Fukai sitting in the same chair, with the same smirk on her face. Just looking at that face made Rose’s blood boil.

“Welcome sister,” Fukai greeted. “Please come in.”

Rose walked further into the room.

“Your boy toy is heading up this mountain as we speak,” Fukai said.

Hearing her say those words made Rose’s heart skip a beat.

“Don’t get your hopes up just yet. This is where the fun starts and you are going to be a part of it.”

Rose glared at Fukai as her hands became fists.


Kurama finally reached the top of the mountain and saw the entrance to the castle right in front of him. He got to his feet and headed in. He traveled down the hallway until he saw a bright light in front of him. When he entered the room, he saw Rose standing by Fukai. His teeth clenched together as he walked into the room.

“Welcome stranger,” Fukai said.

Kurama didn’t say anything and starred at Rose. He saw that she was shaking a little and noticed red marks all over her body.

“How rude. You enter someone else’s house and you don’t say hello,” Fukai grinned.

“Shut up!” Kurama growled.

“Well, aren’t you a charmer.”

“Let Rose go, or else.”

“Now why would I do that?”

Hatred was building up inside Kurama, yet he remained calm.

“I know that you have been going through heat for sometime now. I also know that tonight’s the night where your heat gets worse.”

Kurama didn’t say anything and just stood there. Rose however, noticed that Kurama was starting to sweat. Rose knew what Fukai was going to do, and she was sure that Kurama knew too. But still, she didn’t like seeing Kurama suffer.

“What’s wrong? You seem occupied.”

“I’m here to get rid of you, save Rose and get out of here.”

Fukai smirked and sat back in her chair. “Let’s see you try, come and get me.”

Kurama didn’t hold back and attacked with full force. But as he got near Fukai, he was repelled back to the wall. Fukai laughed as she saw Kurama’s body hit the back wall.

“You can’t get to me because there is a barrier protecting me.” Fukai withdrew a collar that was similar to Rose’s. She threw the collar to Kurama where it clipped itself around his neck. Little blue rods came out and attached themselves to his flesh. Kurama stirred and opened his eyes. With one hand he felt around the collar and then tried to get it off. Rose stood there helpless as she watched Kurama struggle.

“Here’s how the game works,” Fukai said. “Each of you have collars around your neck. Each time Kurama feels pain, the rods in his collar will sense it, they will send a signal to Rose’s collar which will send bolts of electricity to her body. Kurama’s collar will come off once Rose is dead.”

Kurama clenched his teeth together and made his hands into fists.

“This should be interesting considering you are in heat, Kurama.”

“This isn’t fair!” Rose shouted with anger.

“Who said about being fair? You know as well as I do that being in heat is painful. You should prepare yourself sister.”

Rose glared at Fukai then looked at Kurama who was still against the wall. His breathing was picking up and his face was all sweaty.

“Rose, try to break the barrier!” Kurama shouted as he tried to get up.

“But I can’t,” Rose said.

“Your power is stronger then hers. Just let your demon side take over for once.”

Rose took Kurama’s advice and focused her demon energy to the surface. Her human body changed into her demon fox form. Rose looked up at her sister with her now golden eyes. She must get rid of Fukai before Kurama’s heat gets any worse.
