Where the Sky Meets the Sea
Chapter Seven
By: MysticMoon
The sun was almost gone from view when the slayers started camp and Mariko was
cooking dinner (no biscuits this time ^_^;;!!) She needed some small twigs for the fire. She
could have gotten one of the slayers to get it for her but she didn't want to bother them
while they work. She walked through the cool forest and picked up twigs along the way. She
started to walk back when she heard a huge splash coming from the river which they were
camped by.
Mariko dropped her bundle of twigs as she ran towards the river. She feared one of the
slayers had fallen in and worse yet, if he couldn't swim. She herself was never given any
lessons in swimming either. She prayed to God that someone knows how to swim.
When she got to the banks of the river, her feared of a drowned slayer disappeared
but was quickly replaced by the fear of a drowned dog. Her puppy, Haru has fallen into the
fast, flowing river. She could see his head above the water and watched as he struggled
against the currents. She screamed out his name but all the pup could do was get swept
away.
The General and the Dragonslayers all heard her scream and runs toward the river.
They saw her ran along the side of the river and they saw a figure in the water. It took
them a moment to realized who has fallen in. A second later, another splash was heard as
everyone watched in horror as Dilandau jump in.
Dilandau was totally concentrated in getting the dog back on land. He gasped as a
wave of cold water washed over his head. He too struggled against the current to reach the
dog.
Everyone screamed out Dilandau's name, all concerned and worried. Dilandau reached
the dog just as another wave pushed him back. He let out a groan as he wrapped his arms
on the dog. He then began his long journey to shore.
When he got to the banks, the Dragonslayers dragged him in. Mariko held him while
he coughed up some water. Haru seemed to be okay as he flung the water out of his fur.
Haru then went up to Dilandau and licked him on the nose.
Several slayers carried Dilandau back to camp. All the way there, he wondered why he
did it. *Why did I save that dog?? Why did I risk my life for that mutt??* He already knew
the answers but refused to accepted it. When Dilandau's body hit the softness of his bed,
he felled asleep.
Some time later in the middle of the night, he woked up. He saw a figure next to him
and he prepared to grab his sword and slit their thorat. But the figure saw that he was
awake and gently pressed a hand on his chest. A moment later, a match flared up and the
lantern was lit. He saw that his "intruder" was Mariko. He began to open his mouth to say
something, "What are you....."but was cut short.
"Shhhh.......Everythings okay. I'm just checking up on you" Mariko saw that his blanket
was down so she drew it up to his neck and tucked it around him. She added another layer
to his heap of quilts.
He watched her in silence and didn't know what to do. He never had this sort of
kindness from anyone besides from his slayers but that was only just out of loyalty and
fear. "Why are you doing this??" he was very confused.
"Why wouldn't I?? You saved Haru today....thank you so much. You don't know how
much he means to me."
*Will I ever mean that much to you??* Dilandau then mentally slapped himself. *I did
not just think that*
"Hey...are you hungry?? I'll go get something," She moved swiftly and quietly out of
the tent. She returned moments later with a bowl of soup. She helped him sit upright on
the bed.
"I could do it myself," he said in his usual stubborn way.
He started to reach for the bowl when she said she would feed it to him.
"No, I can do it. You don't have to help me," he was still very stubborn. His emotions
was looking for cracks in the invisible force that the gods had put around Dilandau. When it
found one, it started to work to break it.
"No, I owe it to you. I don't want you to be sick because of me and Haru." her eyes
were filled with concerned.
Dilandau was about to protest when Kotaro's thought invaded his mind. *Why not let
the princess feed you. You know you want to. Theres no harm to it. Go on...let her*
Dilandau's own emotions and thoughts agreed with Kotaro's and he nod yes.
Mariko picked up the spoon and then dipped it into the soup. She gently blew on it
and brought it up to his lips. She fed it to him in silence and he, in turn, ate it in silence,
his eyes never leaving hers.
A/N Waaaahhhh.......Mariko and Dilandau....so sweet! KAWAII!! I bet the gods and stuff is
confusing because even I don't understand some of it. But I can assure you that Dilandau's
emotions are true, not the work of Kotaro. Kotaro merely encourages Dilly to go for it!! Please review!
