Chapter 9
Michiko's eyes slowly fluttered open. She glanced lazily around the room then realized she wasn't at home.
"Huh? Where am I? What's going on? Kya!" she cried out startled to see Nakaru sitting beside her.
"Good, you're awake. Sit up and have some soup. You were out cold!" he exclaimed. He tried to help her but she swatted him away like a fly.
"Don't touch me! What do you want?" she asked, narrowing her eyes. She looked him right on and realized he had amazing silver eyes, that seemed to look...hurt? She looked at him closely, from his shaggy brown hair, to his silvery eyes, to his crooked nose, to his hurt frown. 'He's kinda cute.' she heard herself think. 'No! He took you away from your friends and family! He kidnapped you!' She shook her head, trying to get all those thoughts away.
His lop-sided smile returned. "What are you shaking your head for? Thinking about something?"
She felt her cheeks blush, "No." she fibbed, turning away.
His smile widened. "Here. Have some soup. It's yummy."
"Who areyou? You kidnap me and then offer me soup?" she asked, glaring at him. She tried to avoid his eyes.
He put a finger to his chin, pretending to think. "Umm...yes?"
She let out a giggled then shook it away. She had to be emotionless like her father. "Hmf. I want to go home! NOW! Don't you think that my friends won't come for me. And don't you think my Daddy won't either!"
Nakaru laughed and she felt her heart jump and beat faster. "I'm not scared of your friends or family. They didn't try to help you yesterday, why now?"
"You're just saying that! You threatened to kill me! So that's why they couldn't do anything!" she fired back at him, trying to make sense of what happened. Tears came into her eyes. She was too young to die. She had another thousand years! She...she didn't want this. She wanted her mother!
Nakaru's smile faded and his eyes filled with concern. "I...I'm sorry. I really am. I didn't mean for it to be you. I just needed someone, anyone. You don't know why I'm doing this. But I have too. I really don't want to."
Once again she shook her head, trying to get the tears to disappear. "Why? Why do you have to?"
"Revenge. I have to do this for my incarnation, Naraku. He demands it. He wants them all dead. Dead because they killed him." he answered, bitterly. "I don't get it. What did your parents do anyway?"
Michiko cringed at the name, Naraku. Her father had told her that story long ago, over and over again. He had even said to stay away form strangers for that reason. And she didn't listen.
"Here." he said, pushing the bowl to her. "Eat."
"Hmf, you can say that nicer." She huffed, turning her head. She sneaked a peek at him once more.
He rolled his eyes. "Why don't you eat this?"
"Ok." She smiled and took the bowl from him, her gold eyes shining.
Nakaru's heart leaped inside him. It was beating at one hundred beats an hour and at this rate he was going to die before he had the jewel! What was it about this girl that made his feel this way? He felt...he felt different. He didn't feel that sadness or loneliness he had always felt for his whole life.
"Let's start over." he told her, putting out his hand. "I'm Nakaru."
She looked at him with a confused look then took his hand. Both of them felt the electricity shot through them. "I'm...Michiko."
He smiled and she nearly dropped the bowl.
"Ok, well. I have some things to do. If you need anything, call Mei ok? She's gonna be your personal servant for a while." he said with gentleness. With that, he walked out of the room.
Michiko's eyes followed his straight back and once he left she let out a shriek. How could someone so evil be so good-looking?
Then, a girl with short brown hair walked in. "Miss Michiko, it is time for you to dress."
Michiko looked down at the skort and t-shirt I had given her. Memories flooded into her head and tears came to her eyes. "Thanks. Bring it here."
Her servant looked sorry for her, and went to do as she was told. She came back a bit after and gave Michiko a light blue kimono that surprisingly looked cute on her.
Once Michiko was done changing, she hid my clothes under her pillow. "You can leave." she said, motioning to the door.
Mei bowed her head and left the room, glad to be gone. Her mistress seemed so sad it was hard to bare.
Michiko walked over to the nearby window and sat on on the cushioned windowpane. She stared out over the trees and wondered why she was so caught up in Nakaru's looks. But she had to admit, he was hot.
Back with the group
Masaru grumbled. It had been one full night without Michiko to bother him and already he missed her. I patted his shoulder. "We'll be going now. We'll find her."
He looked at me. "Thank, Yumi."
"What are cousins for?" I answered, smiling. I knew how sad he was.
Then we setted off, heading down the path that I had suspected Nakaru had taken Michiko down.
"Maybe we should split up." Masaru suggested. "Yeah, me and Masaru will go ahead. I think that he might be hiding Michi in a castle somewhere." Tsuki said.
"Umm, ok. Be careful. Let's hope we find her." I said. After good-byes, Tsuki and Masaru headed off. "Somehow, I have a feeling they'll be doing more then just looking for his sister." Inuyoshi muttered.
"Let's go." I said, rolling my eyes.
This was going to take a while.
Michiko
She wandered through another room. It had been too boring to stay in her own room so she had decided to explore a bit. Already she had found a pool, a gym, and the kitchen. There were lots of servants around, but no one else.
She gasped as she saw what a magnificent room this was! It was huge. The bed was like double kind-sized, and was draped in black and red covers. There was a big oak-wood desk near the window. Two nightstands stood beside the bed. The closet was walk-in and was like it's own room. There were all sorts of things all over the place.
"Like my room?" a voice called out from behind her.
She yelped and jumped ten feet into the air. Once she landed she took deep breaths and turned around to come face to face with Nakaru. "You scared me!" she cried out.
He laughed and her anger melted away. "Sorry. It was so tempting."
she gave a small frown, and punched him gently on the arm. "That's not nice."
He looked at the white-tiled floor. "Sorry." he said sheepishly. He gave her his lop-sided grin.
She burst into giggles. "Don't do that!"
"Do what'? This?" he asked, giving her another funny face.
She held her stomach, feeling tears come from all her laughing. "Stop! Stop!"
Then, the door opened, and Mei walked in. "Oh!" she cried out in surprise. She wasn't expecting to see Michiko in the room, nor was she expecting Michiko to be laughing her butt off while Nakaru stood there making funny faces. Jealousy swept over her. Nakaru was hers! How dare the new Mistess come and take him? After all, Mei had known him all her life and he had helped her out so much times! She should've been Mistress!
"Is something wrong, Mei?" he asked, looking at her. She smiled weakly. "No sir. I was just um, about to tell you that the Mistress wasn't in her room. But that's 'cause she's here with you!" She gave a samll laugh and excused herself. Grr, she hated it when he looked at her with those eyes of his. He always made her so nervous.
Michiko smiled at her. "Mei, it's ok really. I can take care of myself. You can go about your duties without worrying about me."
'Self-centered brat.' Mei thought, enviously. "Anything for you, Mistress."
"And please, call me Michiko. None of that Mistress stuff." Michiko said. She straightened up, and fixed her kimono.
"I can't do that, Mistress." Mei answered. She rolled her eyes in her head.
"Ok, Mei. Thanks for the concern. You may leave now." Nakaru told her, waving her away. "Michiko, I wanna show you something."
Mei growled slightly. He was being rude to her? Probably showing that new girl that he was a 'master'. Which he wasn't. Everyone liked his because he wasn't like Naraku. And he was nice to them all. But then she came.
"Nakaru! That's rude." Michiko said, playfully teasing.
'Nakaru! That's rude.'Mei mocked in her head. Grr she was going to kill that new girl. But hey, maybe she can return her back to her original home. Then, Nakaru would be hers...
Mei bowed and left, wanting to get started right away. She had to research about Michiko.
"What was it you wanted to show me?" Michiko asked, sitting upon his bed. He smiled at her and her heart beated faster.
"This." he answered and leaned down to tickle her.
"Kya!" she cried out, bursting into fits of laughter. She tried to push him away but he pressed her against the bed. She tried to run, but then he pushed her down, leaning over her. His hands were on either side of her head and he was on top of her, staring into her gold eyes.
She stopped laughing. "Nakaru..." she murmured.
His heart was thumping so loudly in his chest he thought that she had heard. He...he wanted to tell her how he felt. That he didn't want to keep her like this. That he loved her. But was this really love? After all, they barely knew each other. But he felt please when she was laughing happily because of him. He felt good when she was smiling at him, teasing him, and just about whenever they were together he felt...different. He felt whole. This to him felt like love. And wasn't there a saying that went, "If you love someone, set them free. If they come back then they're yours."? He sighed. He guessed that he had to return her to her own home.
"What is it?" she asked, concerned. She wanted to see him happy, to see his smiling that silly smile. She wanted him to feel glad that she was there. She was glad she was there.
"N-nothing." he stammered. He really didn't want her to go. But if she wanted to...
She growled. "What is it?" she repeated.
He sighed. "Well, I was thinking. If...if you don't like it here...then you can...go back."
She looked at him, unable to answer. Sure, she wanted to go. Of course she missed her brother and friends...but...she also liked to stay. All those servants and only him. Wasn't he lonely? Of course he was...so...that was the answer.
"I'm going to stay." she said.
He looked at her. "What?"
"I'm going to stay." she repeated. She knew it was the right choice.
A smile burst onto his face. "Really?"
She smiled. "Yup."
Them, surprisingly, he leaned down and kissed her on the lips. She stared at him, bewildered but then relaxed and enjoyed it.
Finally, he broke free of her lips and stared into her eyes, their lips barely touching. "Sorry...that...that..."
"That was amazing..." she answered for him, and kissed him.
Mei was looking through a peep in the door. She had come back because she forgot to ask Nakaru something and witnessed the kiss. Her heart broke into two as tears fell down her face. She was going to get revenge. She was going to kill that girl.
With the group
After lunch, some of us napped while others practiced with our weapons. I was versing against Inuyoshi. Our swords clashed with the other. I took deep breaths, trying to catch my breath.
"Come on! Yumi, you must have more then that!" Inuyoshi cried, also catching his breath.
"You're more trained then me!" I shouted.
Then, Kohana snuck over and wiped some of his sweat off with a handkerchief.
I growled and the moment Kohana left I shouted. "Kasei no Kiba!"
He got thrown off his feet by my fire dragon and hit the ground. I sneered.
"Yumiko!" Kohana cried, rushing over to help him up.
"Pathetic! Come! Let's see what you can do!" I taunt. I was angry. She wasn't helping me with anything. And yet my brother? Grr...
He glared at me. "Mizu no Kiba!" His water dragon zoomed for me.
"STONE SHIELD!" Suddenly, a wall of stones piled up in front of me, and the dragon vanished. Ryuu stood beside me, his sword out.
"RYUU! We're just training!" I said, rolling my eyes.
He looked at me, with a hurt expression. The wall went away. "I want to train too."
"Oh, ok." I said, smiling. He smiled back.
"Not fair!" Inuyoshi shouted.
"Who cares?" I shouted back. "Nakaru might not be fair!"
"Kasei no Kiba!" I cried, my sword raised high above my head.
"IWA NO KEN!" Ryuu shouted.
"Mizu no Kiba!" Inuyoshi yelled, his dragon blocking all the attacks.
I was panting again.
"TRY HARDER!" Inuyoshi said, giving rather stupid advice.
"We are, dammit." I muttered. "Wish I had another attack."
"Yorokobi no kasei!" I suddenly shouted. A straight beam of fire shot from my sword at an amazing speed.
"ROSE PRICKS!" Ryuu shouted beside me.
Inuyoshi's dragon vanished. He jumped high into the sky but my fire bolt followed, striking him in his ass.
"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" he yelped. Finally, he landed on the ground.
I was about to run over to ask if he was alright but then Kohana took my place. "You ok, Inuyoshi?" she asked him.
I growled and stalked away Ryuu at my heels.
"What's wrong, Yumi?" he asked me. I looked away.
"It's nothing."
"It's something. You can tell me."
"Maybe some other time."
He grabbed hold of me, looking me in the eye. Purple to gold. Gold to purple. "Tell me."
I sighed. "Ok ok. It's just, Kohana's my best friend and yet she doesn't show a lot of concern for me...and yet she shows a major lot for Inuyoshi and they barely know each other."
He lead me back towards the group. "Don't worry. It's not like they're going out or anything."
I smiled. "Yeah, I guess."
Then, suddenly,we heard a loud BAM!
We ran towards the group and they were all staring at something.
And that something was actually two humans...
yay! another chapter done. LoL i wonder who those two humans are...:D Thank you xWeaselxWolfx for helping me with those attacks. I get it now. Thanks!
