Kai watched from the back of his huge, blood red stallion as the gates of his huge, imposing castle were opened, and he led his army back in. As a stable boy rushed to take his horse, and he dismounted, his eyes scanned the cheering crowd of servants for his bride. Normally, Rei was lingering at the top of the steps into the massive castle, or on the other side of the huge double doors. The servants parted, bowing reverently to their Shogun as he came into his demesne. More servants were there, bowing at his feet. But Rei wasn't.
Kai growled, somewhat unnerved by this. He wanted Rei, warm and waiting for him, with shinning golden eyes, a soft smile, and open arms. Catching one of Rei's handmaidens lurking in a corner, he barked out, "Where is he? Where is my bride?"
"I-in the g-garden, m-my lord." The hapless female stuttered as her master turned on his heal and marched through the corridors and out into the garden. Rei was curled up by the fish pond, face buried in his arms and slender shoulders shaking with his sobs.
Kai started towards him, and Rei's ears pricked at the sounds of rustling grass. His head shot up, and Kai's breath was stolen by the tragic beauty before his eyes. Rei was clad in a silken blue kimono with his ankle length, silken black hair wound in an elegant coil around his head and decorated with elegant, tasseled hair pins. His golden eyes were wide with surprise, and crystal tears clung to his long, dark lashes.
Kai drunk in the sight of him, a vision come true; he'd longed for Rei all those days spent on the war campaign, conquering neighboring villages and expanding his reach, as was customary for all shoguns and military leaders. These were tough, cruel times where only the strong survived. And Kai was one of the strongest, having slain hundreds upon thousands of men in and out of battle. It wasn't something he was necessarily proud of, but these were times of war and chaos. If you wanted to live, you had to be willing to kill.
But all of that vanished when he looked into Rei's heart broken amber eyes. Kai took a step forward, ready to find out what was wrong with his beautiful nekojin. "Rei-"
Rei's eyes went from wide to narrow slits in seconds, and the incredible sadness in them was replaced with a biting rage. Rage? His sweet kitten? In the month they'd been married, Rei had never displayed any tantrums or temper. Passion, yes, but Rei had been the docile, sweet, and playful creature his brother, Lee, had said he was. Had Lee lied to him?
"You!" Rei hissed, tears running down his face. He stood up, glaring for all he was worth, then lunged at his lord, attempting to scratch his eyes out. Kai, as battle hardened as he was, easily snatched both of Rei's slim wrists.
"Let me go!" Rei tugged against Kai, but the young shogun kept his hold firm; not hard enough to bruise, but just enough to make him feel a small amount of pain. Rei winced when Kai squeezed a bit, applying pressure and causing the bones in his wrist to grate, then whimpered as pain flared along them.
"Rei, what is wrong with you?" Kai's voice was hard, with and edge to it. He had just returned from battle, and was exhausted. He didn't have the patience to deal with a distraught bride right now. "For God's sake, quit acting like a termagant and tell me what the heck is wrong!" Kai shoved Rei backwards, and the smaller boy fell hard upon the grass.
"Wrong? You want to know what's wrong? I'll tell you, you *** of a *****!" Rei crawled, with difficulty due to the confining skirt of the kimono, to where he'd been laying earlier and snatched up a stack of letters then threw them at Kai's feet.
"Do you know what these are? They're letters exchanged between you and and my brother. How could you, Kai? I thought you loved me! You told me it was for love, that I was the only one for you! Then- then I find out that you and Lee had arranged the whole marriage! Lee sold me, and you bought me like I was just some common trade good! I am not a thing, nor a prize to be won! I'm not just a pretty little bauble!"
Kai's eyes widened. He certainly hadn't expected Rei to ever find out. "Rei, listen, it's not like that at all! At first, yes. I- I had merely wanted some one, a plain looking, docile, obedient bride who would bear my children and run the household in my absence. Lee approached me with a proposition of you. He wrote me a letter, and I met with him at your family's restaurant. He showed you to me. You were bent over a stack of dishes, with Lee's pink haired wife saying something to you. You looked up, your face shining with laughter. That's when I fell for you. You were so beautiful, so alluring, and I knew I had to have you. I had to make you mine."
Rei listened quietly, the anger and hurt in his heart untouched. "So you made arrangements with Lee, and bought me!"
Kai stepped over the letters and contracts to loom above Rei. "Arranged marriages are the norm. The marrying for love nonsense you prattle about exists only in fairy tales. At least, I thought it did. Until I met you." Kai's anger was growing, but he was too tired and exhausted to fight with Rei right now. He wanted nothing more than a hot bath, a warm meal, and bed. So, he was willing to try placating him.
Rei, however, would not be placated. "All my life, I fought against an arranged marriage. I fought father, mother, and Lee. I fought them all; I didn't want to be some possession. I wanted to be loved for me! Then you - you came along, talking to me, spending time with me. You told me you loved me! But it was all lies! I hate you!"
"Enough!" Kai bellowed, his patience snapping. Rei flinched from Kai's raised voice, which echoed around the garden. They heard several gasps; Rei's hand maidens had come and watched. Kai looked over his shoulder, glaring at the girls, who all backed away. "Begone with you!" He snarled, causing them to scatter.
"As for you, 'wife'-" Kai growled, then flung Rei over his shoulder. If Rei wouldn't be placated, then he'd just have to throw his fit in the bedroom while Kai went to sleep.
Rei immediately started screaming, pounding his fists on Kai's back and kicking at him with his wooden sandaled feet. One big toe hit home, catching Kai in the gut, and Rei smirked as he heard his husband's satisfying grunt. Unfortunately, however, Rei kicked too hard on the next swing, and his sandals flew off, leaving his feet only in the two toed tabi, the soft slippers that were worn with sandals.
"Stop it." Rei ignored Kai's command, then let out a loud yelp as his rear end was paddled by Kai's strong hand. Kai carried a still struggling Rei into their vast bed chamber, and threw him upon the huge, ornate bed. "Go throw your fit here, away from the servants' eyes." Kai turned to go. "Come talk to me when you're reasonable once again."
Rei screamed in rage, grabbing a plush pillow and chucking it at Kai, but the warlord had already shut the door and was gone. Rei turned so he was face down upon the bed, buried his face in a pillow, and sobbed his heart out. Those letters he'd found this morning in Kai's study broke his heart. He'd thought Kai truly loved him, when in reality, all Kai had wanted him for was breeding and housekeeping. "D*** him! D*** him to a thousand h***s!" Rei bawled.
