Sheena's Dreams ch.1
This will be a compilation of one-shot dreams that Sheena Fujibayashi has. Enjoy!
"So you want me to disguise as one of the six geishas being escorted out of Mizuho?" Sheena asked her advisor, Orochi.
"Yes Sheena-sama. We received word that a mysterious group has been targeting beautiful groups of women at brothels, and we want to make sure that our geishas are not targeted either as they travel to Meltokio for their special dance performance. So we want you to blend in with the 5 other geishas and protect them in case the group attacks."
"But our geishas aren't exactly considered…well…prostitutes," Sheena pointed out.
"That is true, but not many people outside of Mizuho know that. Thus, we are just being cautious," Orochi said. "We don't know what happens to the women once they've been captured. They might be killed, sold, or used by them however they please. However, we do know that the group is led by two siblings with sea-foam green hair."
Sheena nodded, taking this information in.
"So then Sheena-sama, will you accept your mission as a temporary geisha?" Orochi asked her.
"Umm….weeell…I'm not exactly the most graceful type to be a geisha…" Sheena admitted while rubbing the back of her neck.
"Not to worry, the workers at the geisha house have promised to teach you only the basics. You will not have to perform the dance in Meltokio," Orochi assured.
"Mmm…well, I guess I'll accept the mission then. Let the geisha house know," Sheena said.
"Understood, Sheena-sama." Orochi bowed to her and then left her house.
The next day Sheena received training from the workers at the geisha house. She had a hard time cramming in her brain as well as her muscles on how to sit, stand, walk, and converse properly as a geisha. A few days later, the time had come for the geishas to leave the village.
The group consisted of the six geishas, including Sheena, as well as 4 other ninjas dressed in their fighting attire. After having a light breakfast, they left at sunrise into the forest.
"I still cannot believe that this is happening. That we are being considered possible targets!" one geisha dressed in a blue kimono whispered.
"I cannot either! This situation is making me nervous!" another geisha whispered, wearing a green kimono and fanning herself excessively.
"Calm down ladies, I'm sure we'll be fine," another geisha dressed in a pink kimono whispered. "We are being protected by ninjas after all."
"Ladies, I suggest we keep talking to a minimum as we travel to Meltokio," Sheena whispered to the others geishas, wearing a lavender kimono herself.
As they saw the sun setting in the sky several hours later, the group stayed at an inn in Sybak. The ninjas then prepared some stew for the geishas with what ingredients they could gather in the town.
"I'm so used to Mizuhoan food, but I have to admit it is nice to eat something new for a change," a geisha in red said.
"I agree, this stew is delicious!" a geisha in black said.
"We appreciate your thanks," one of the ninjas said while bowing.
Just then, one of the ninjas keeping watch outside the inn noticed dark shadows jumping across the roofs of the homes and shops nearby. They ran inside the inn and into the room they had rented for the night.
"Ladies, we must leave now! I am afraid we are being targeted!" one ninja whispered to everyone.
"Damn, Orochi's sources were correct," Sheena thought. She then led the geishas quickly out of the inn and into the night. They were almost out of the town when the dark shadows blocked their path. They wore dark black cloaks with hoods and a white mask covering their faces. They didn't say a word as they started throwing projectiles at Sheena's group. Sheena and the ninjas protected the geishas, deflecting the projectiles using their kunai. Sheena then summoned Shadow to appear and create a cloak of darkness to surround them, and they ran deeper towards the back of the town, planning on escaping through the second entrance.
However, as luck would have it, the mysterious group reached the second entrance before they did and was blocking their path. They then quickly threw a huge, heavy, metal net on top of Sheena's group, keeping them from standing up. They then proceeded to shoot them with sleeping darts, knocking them out.
Sheena awoke to find herself alone in a room lit up only by candlesticks. She then noticed that she was not bound or gagged, but she did feel drowsy. She saw a door on one of the walls in the room and proceeded to walk towards it, hoping it was a way to escape.
"You cannot leave unless you want to be killed, fufu," a high pitched voice behind her said.
Sheena turned around to find a young girl sitting in a chair in the corner of the room, with sea-foam green hair and dark bags under her eyes. A man with the same colored hair and bags under his eyes stood next to her.
Sheena then reached under her kimono to grab her summoning cards, but found that they were missing! She then fumbled throughout her clothing to try to find her kunai or bombs as well, but found nothing! Panic started to consume Sheena as she realized that she was unarmed.
"She is right," the man said, burning some incense in the room. "Choose your home wisely."
Sheena then covered her hands over her mouth, holding back her tears of fear as she realized they had begun hypnotizing her. She started hallucinating, seeing 5 pictures on the wall across from her, one with a turtle, one with a hawk, one with a cat, one with a fox, and one with a tanuki. Sheena's eyes began to move on their own to look at the picture with the hawk on it, and it began to glow.
"So you have made your decision…good," she heard the man whisper. "Now, sleep my geisha…sleep…"
Sheen then began to feel herself losing consciousness as she laid down on the floor.
"SHEENA! Don't listen to him! Snap out of it, you're better than this!" she heard a voice she recognized yell.
"Who…is it?" Sheena whispered, still in a hypnotic state.
She then heard some clanging sounds in the distance, as if a fight was breaking out where she couldn't see. She then heard blood curdling screams and bodies drop down to the floor with a thud.
"Oi, Sheena! Wake up!" the voice called again. She then felt her body being shaken violently.
"Tch, it must be the stupid incense," the voice said. She then felt herself being picked up and carried off.
Minutes later she felt herself being placed down on something hard, what she assumed was the ground outside.
"Sheena. Open your eyes, you're safe now," the voice said, calling out to her.
Sheena then slowly opened her eyes only to see a blurry image of long red hair and a pink kimono.
"Why….do I feel like I've met you before?" Sheena asked the voice.
"Because we've known each other since we were teenagers, Sheena honey," the voice said.
Sheena then blinked several times and her vision finally cleared enough for her to see Zelos wearing a pink floral kimono and geisha make-up on his face.
"WHAT? You were disguised as the pink geisha?" Sheena yelled. She then immediately sat up, only to find herself getting dizzy again. Zelos steadied her.
"Yep! I heard about this black cloaked group as well, and I figured your Mizuhoan geisha beauties would probably be targeted next. So I informed Orochi and he agreed to disguise me as a geisha as well, even including the black wig!" Zelos said, smiling.
"Well that explains why you looked slightly odd out of the six of us. I thought you were abnormally tall to be a geisha, but what do I know about what people prefer these days," Sheena said, shaking her head.
"Anyways honey, what do you think of me? Do I look sexy? Perfect? Pretttty?" Zelos said in a high pitched voice while making dramatic poses.
"Hahaha, yes you do look pretty Zelos. Pretty ridiculous!" Sheena said laughing again.
"Ouch, that's hurts!" Zelos said, putting his hands over his heart like he was in pain. "But that's to be expected of the Violent Demonic Banshee!"
"Stop calling me a banshee!" Sheena yelled, gaining her full strength back from his words and punching him in the gut.
"Owwwwww! I keep telling you to warn me before you hit me!" Zelos complained.
Sheena then woke up to sunshine coming through the window of the inn the group of heroes was staying at. She then sat up on her bed and ran a hand across her face.
"What…the hell was that?" Sheena thought. "That has got to be the strangest dream I've ever had."
"What was the strangest dream you ever had?" Zelos asked, appearing in the doorway of the room Colette, Presea, Raine, and her shared.
"Ah! Zelos! Don't just open a door without knocking, you stupid Chosen!" Sheena yelled, throwing her pillow at Zelos. Zelos dodged it efficiently.
"But I want to know about your strange dream! Was I in it?" Zelos asked.
Sheena got off her bed and walked over to the doorway.
"No you weren't! Now get out!" she said as she pushed him out the door and then locked it shut.
"Aha, you're denying itttt," Zelos sang through the door. "I know you can't resist dreaming about meeee."
Sheena was thankful he couldn't see her face through the door due to it slowly turning red.
