Chapter 6:
I guess I haven't said this before but I work at martial arts dojo teaching the kids there the basics, advanced and weaponry. I am a teacher to those who have mastered the basics and can move onto the weapon handling part of martial arts; though this course is optional, so normally most just continue with the basic form: fighting with your body (ie. No weapons). Among the weapons that are taught are simple wooden/bamboo sticks, kendo sticks, beginners pair of num-chucks, and the more advanced types of those weapons as each student progresses to the next stage.
I teach mainly the weaponry department because that is what I favor since the other instructors have their own specialty not involving weapons; my specialty is the sword exercises. The beginners level are the bamboo kendo sticks, intermediate are something similar only heavier, and advanced are the dulled swords. It's rather invigorating. Anyway I practice in my spare time, and teach the rest of the time. Quite the life, wouldn't most agree?
And these are the activities I insist upon doing to keep myself busy until Saturday evening. It was now Friday night. So, just a few more hours after I sleep, it's time for my next date with Sesshy and the meeting with his adoptive daughter had my nerves on the fritz. I had no idea if she would like me, and I really, truly wanted her to, knowing from past experience that if the kids don't approve than it's a no-go.
Next day at 6:15 pm::::
"Do doot do dooo. Let's see… yep, this will do." And with that I pull on a pair of dark blue jeans and a black shirt which bore the "Bullet for My Valentine" insignia upon it. Yeah they're awesome. Especially their song "All these things I hate about you." After I'm finished with my makeup and such, it was almost 7 so I head downstairs to see Sessh standing beside a little girl in a light pink dress and white shoes. 'She's dressed like it's Easter.' I think sarcastically to myself, then say aloud, "So you must be Rin, are you not?" The little girl nods with a big goofy smile on her face.
"Well it's very nice to meet you" I reply with my own smile, then look to Sessh and he nods with a soft smile twitching at the corners of his mouth. "I'm Sango." I say holding out my hand for her to shake. Instead, her grin, as if it was even possible, grew bigger.
She squealed and jumped onto me for a hug. I laugh at her antics. Giving a questioning look to Sessh, he only shrugs, and mouthed ' I think she likes you', this causes me to roll my eyes at him as I hug her back. She soon lets go and I can breathe properly. For a little girl, she sure can knock the breath out of you.
Not missing a beat, she grabs my hand and says, "You're the nice lady daddy told me about." And she giggled and pulled me along with Sesshy out to his car. "Dinner's going to be a lot more funner with you there." She's still smiling in her own way as we get in, and Sessh starts the car and drives of to our next destination:
His house.
