Chapter 7 ~ Dinner
Kabuto´s P.O.V
"Kabuto…?"
I felt how somebody was shaking me and opened then lightly my eyes, being surprised when I looked into ocean blue orbs.
"Hmm…?"
Still sleepy, I gave her a questioning gaze, but she giggled slightly and explained:
"You have to prepare yourself for dinner, did you forget that already?"
Just now I realized where exactly I was at and what had happened a few hours ago. In shock I jumped up from the bed, but Chiasa pressed me back down and smiled.
"Don´t worry, you still got plenty of time, but I just wanted to see if you´re fine…"
"Oh, I- uhm, thank you…"
Chiasa´s expression suddenly changed into something like worry, and she laid her hand on my forehead, making me blush a bit.
"Hmmm, oh alright I though you got fever, but seems like I was wrong…"
As she seemed to notice my shy expression, she giggled a bit and said:
"I´m sorry, I´m always so briskly…"
"This isn´t something bad…"
I mumbled more to myself, while she then asked:
"How about I prepare you a bath? You seem to be a bit stressed, so this could relax you a little bit…"
"Mhm, sounds nice, but you don´t have to do it, I believe I can prepare a bath myself…"
With a light smirk I winked at her, while she ruffled playfully through my hair and smirked as well.
"The first one who is a bit independently in here…"
After she had left again, I went into the bathroom and prepared the bath, took my clothes off and sat down into the large bathtub. Totally relaxed I closed my eyes and started thinking about tonight's dinner and the meeting with my fiancé. I wonder if she´s nice and really as beautiful as Orochimaru has told me…
An hour later, I went back outside and started to dress myself in the clothes Chiasa gave me. It didn´t look bad, not at all, but it felt a bit unfamiliar, since I most likely wore "normal" clothes. When I stood in front of the Mirror and examined my reflection, I thought if I should do something with my hair, since it some kind of appeared messy and brushed it then with a brush back, so that my bangs were out of my face.
"You know, I liked it better before…"
Terrified I turned to the door, where Chiasa stood on the door frame with a light smirk on her lips.
"Do you think so?"
Nodding she walked closer to me and ruffled again through my hair, but this time just to make it look like before.
"That´s better, I bet Lady Masami will like it as well…"
With a slight blush spread across my face, I asked:
"Say, is she a nice girl?"
"Hmm, yes she is and beautiful into the bargain…"
"I see…"
She suddenly looked at the clock which hung on the wall and said:
"It´s time for dinner, I´ll bring you to the dining hall…"
"Yes…"
Nervously I walked behind Chiasa through the hallway, down the stairs and further until we reached a huge room, in which a very large table stood in. At the table's end sat Orochimaru and beside him on the right sat obviously his daughter. When they saw me coming through the door, they stood both up, Orochimaru wearing again a smirk on his lips, while his daughter just smiled friendly at me. She really was beautiful, with her silky black hair which nearly reached the ground, her golden eyes and the violet dress she wore.
"Kabuto, may I introduce you now to my wonderful daughter Masami."
She held her hand out, while I grabbed it and shook it, what was probably wrong since they both seemed a bit confused about my gesture. Should I´ve kissed it?
Afterwards we sat at the table and ate, while I had to admit that the food they served there was very luxurious as well as everything else there. There were several kinds of meat which were served, a whole bunch of vegetables, rice, noodles and a delicious Chocolate Cake as dessert. I was after the dinner so full, that I feared I couldn´t eat anything else for the rest of the week.
Masami had then a lot of questions for me, most likely how my life was at the Village I lived and so on. I told her about it and in the end she gave me a pitiful glance while saying:
"You poor boy, you had to go through so much just because of such scum…"
It made me feel some kind of uneasy that she had so much compassion for me, not at least because I didn´t want to appear like a victim. Some time later, it had already become dark outside, we all went back to our rooms and as soon as I had reached mine, I sank down on my bed and massaged my temples. Masami really is a nice girl, without any doubts, but it is some kind of strange to think about her as my future wife…
Sighing I changed my clothes into something more comfortable and wanted to go to bed, as I suddenly heard somebody knocking on the door.
"Yes?"
The door opened and Chiasa stood then in my room, with a lightly nervous smile on her lips.
"I- I was just curious, how was the dinner? Do you like Lady Masami?"
A bit bewildered I replied:
"Uhm the dinner was nice and Masami is a nice girl as well…"
"I see, well I´m glad that you like her…"
She responded with a bright smile and turned then again to leave, while she said:
"Good night Kabuto…"
"Good night…"
I replied quietly and after she was gone, I scratched confused my head. What was that? Did she really care for it or did maybe Masami nor Orochimaru send her to ask this?
I decided to let it be for the moment and laid then down into my bed, while I thought about what would await me tomorrow. Well, hopefully I´ll somehow fall in love with Masami…
