"Talking"
Thinking
'Singing' (since the other way I did it did not come out…)
Okay, next chapter up. Whee for inspiration. Heh. Still do not own characters apart from the main one. Also the songs are not mine; it's Disease by Matchbox Twenty and You Are My Joy by Reindeer Section. Last chapter was Lass from the low country by Nina Simone. Just to clarify.
Bursts into song
Two days passed by rather uneventful in contrast to the rough times prior to them. No more words were shared between the girl from the future and the Demon Lord of the past, though mainly to the fact that said girl was at a loss as to what to say. The swelling to her fair face has decreased notably, though the bruising has yet to fade.
Such an event would be sure to have a lasting effect to on such a frail girl, but to look at her current demeanor one would surely think otherwise. At the moment, Taki sporting a new, blue yukata is merrily strolling through the tall trees and along the meandering pathways that lie just a short distance away from a field of green wherein her company lies. Singing as she goes, she is a sight new to behold.
'Feels like you made a mistake,you made somebody's heart break.But now I have to let you go.I have to let you go.'
'You left a stain,on every one of my good days.But I am stronger than you know.I have to let you go.'
'No one's ever turned you over,No one's triedTo ever let you down,Beautiful girlBless your heart.'
'I got a diseaseDeep inside meMakes me feel uneasy baby.I can't live without you,Tell me what I am supposed to do about it?Keep your distance from me.Don't pay no attention to meI got a disease.'
She continues her tune, unbeknownst to the curious eyes watching her. Not one for dancing she stumbles along focused on the melody in her head.
'Every little thing you do is tragic.All my life, oh was magic.Beautiful girl,I can't breathe.'
'I got a diseaseDeep inside meMakes me feel uneasy baby.I can't live without you,tell me what am I supposed to do about it?Keep your distance from me.Don't pay no attention to me.I got a diseaseAnd well I think that I'm sick,But leave me be while my world is coming down on me.You taste like honey, honeyTell me can I be your honey?Be, be strongKeep telling myself it that won't take long tillI'm free of my disease.'
By this point all party's eyes are on her; unfortunately, hers remain closed. So it's no surprise when she bumbling crashes into a rather hard surface, the impact sprawling her onto the ground on her rear.
Mumbling an 'ow' she opens her eyes to see, low and behold, her savior in white staring oppressively down upon her small person.
Turning an unusual color she bravely meets his eyes, ever golden.
"Perhaps your words hold value and this Sesshoumaru should 'keep his distance.'" An elegant eyebrow quirks, as if in agreement to the query.
If possible, Taki's face becomes an even more brilliant shade than the last. Oh my God! Is he making fun of me?! I've never heard him crack a joke before.
"Umm", she starts, "I was just…and then…you…'sighs'. "I wasn't looking where I was going" she finishes weakly.
"Hm" he replies, "Be more observant In the future." She nods dumbly, embarrassment clear in her eyes.
Letting out a sigh she stands, staring after him.
"Taki, are you alright? You're face is a little red." Turning "Oh yah, I'm fine Rin. Couldn't be better." That's right, lie through your teeth, she thinks smiling cheerfully.
"Your voice sure is pretty. I like to sing too!" She beams. "Oh, yah? That's good to hear Rin, maybe we can sing together sometime, ne?"
"Really?!" she pipes, "Can you sing something for me?"
"Eh?" Taki's response says it all.
"Please?" Big brown eyes turn pleading. Oh no, the puppy dog look! Noo, I can't resist that!
"Umm, well" Taking this as submission Rin's joyful 'Hoorays' fill the void.
"OK. So what do you want me to sing?"
"Anything!" she cries happily. Obviously quite easy to please.
Hmm, now what good songs do I know that would be something she could understand?
Pondering for a while, she comes up with a solution.
'I won't leave you out of my will,
But I will leave you out of my mind, for now.'
'I won't be there to break your sweet heart,
But not being there might break your sweet heart.'
'You are my joy, you are my joy, you are my joy, you are my joy. You are my joy, you are my joy, you are my joy, you are my joy.'
'If I could cradle you into my arms, I would cradle you tight in my arms. Always.
So don't be scared of all the hurtful words, 'cause in the end they'll hurt themselves much more.'
'You are my joy, you are my joy, you are my joy, you are my joy. You are my joy, you are my joy, you are my joy, you are my joy.'
A small gap, a pause is quickly taken up by Rin's exclamatory "Wow! That was even better than the last one, you're really good, Taki!" Rin's eyes light with mirth and soon she is wrapped around Taki.
"Thanks" is the only reply. Scanning the area for signs that anyone other than Rin was present for her little 'display' she is relieved to find none; apart from Ah-Un anyway.
Silently a tall, handsome Lord of Dogs is wondering the extent of the girl's oddity. Aside from Rin's happy made-up ditties, he had never heard such strange lithely melodies.
She is peculiar, of that this Sesshoumaru has no doubt.
Growling agitatedly, it occurs to him that he is 'curious' of the girl; something the Lord of the West was not prepared for. Why then did he save the wretched girl in the first place? Was that not also out of curiosity to her person?
Growling again, he finds he is unable to come up with answers to the questions he himself is asking. Yet another thing that is unacceptable for one of the standing he holds. Glancing in her direction, a peaceful expression and slight flush still on her face, he is incapable of directing his frustration towards her. So instead his sits, and stares off into the ever darkening sky.
