Where the Sky Meets the Sea
Chapter Nine
By: MysticMoon
Razan changed places with Gatty although Dilandau was unsure why he did it. Razan
didn't know why his place was changed but he was happy to accept his new position. Now
he and Mariko can have long conversations during the trip.
Dilandau watched as the Dragonslayer, Razan, and the princess held yet another
conversation. Every time Mariko talked to Razan, every time she looked at him, every time
she smiled at him, plunged another sword into his heart. He wanted to stop their chit-chat...
he started to open his mouth and yell at Razan, but no sounds came out. *What the %#&?
Why can't I talk? Why?* Since he couldn't break the two up, he had to bear yet another
plunge at his heart.
Mariko was also confused about the change but was glad to talk to Razan. For
unknown reasons, her eyes started to travel from Razan's moving mouth to the General.
She watched his still form as he sat on his horse. *He looks so peaceful and serene, not
like when he is in battle....not like when he is crazed......why can't I take my eyes off him?
That strong figure sitting upright, his silver hair fluttering in the breeze...the.....*
Her concentration on Dilandau was interrupted by Razan. "Princess?? Mariko??"
"O....sorry! Did you say something?" she asked, her attention still not entirely with
Razan.
"If you're tired, we could stop talking.....you should rest" Razan advised. He watched
the beauty next to him nod.
Mariko let out a deep sigh. *I know Razan likes me...but I can't feel the same way for
him. Something is in the way, but what? Razan is nice but he reminds me too much of my
brother........*
That night Mariko had a terrible vision and she started screaming for help. She popped
out of bed in a cold sweat. She started to take deep breaths and inhale and exhale slowly.
Dilandau woked up to Mariko screaming. He groaned and rolled out of bed. Kotaro was
working at night while the Gods slept. Kotaro slowly led Dilandau to Mariko's carriage. Once
the General was right next to her carriage, Kotaro stopped his control on Dilandau. *From
here, you're on your own...I'll make sure none of the slayers wake up.*
Dilandau blinked and did a double take. *What am I doing here?* He takes a step
further. *How did I get here? Why is my hand reaching for the door handle.....why am I
opening it?* Dilandau slowly and quietly climbed onto the carriage. He could see Mariko
shaking and breathing very heavily. He reached out and tapped her. Mariko screamed real
loud. Dilandau quickly used his hand to cover her mouth.
"Shhhh....It's only me" He slowly released his hand.
"What are you doing here?"
"I heard you scream and I was worried, so I came to check on you" Dilandau said.
*Wait, did I just say "I was worried about her"?* "Whats wrong?"
"I....I had a horrible vis....." Mariko stopped. *I can't tell him I'm a Draconian......but
how will he believe what I saw in the vision?* "I had a nightmare......it was the Chanyan...
Dragonslayers....ambush....then.....then....you....." Mariko trailed off from there.
"It was only a dream. Go back to bed" Dilandau started to leave.
Mariko grabbed onto his sleeve "But...but....you don't understand! Chanyan will attack
real soon......please believe me" her blue-green eyes glistened with tears.
"How would you know that will happen? Can you tell the future? Hmmm.... Just
because of some silly dream, you expect me to believe that kind of crap. Well, I don't
believe in foretelling of the future in dreams. Now...GO BACK TO BED!" the General said to
the now sobbing Mariko. Dilandau was tired and sleepy. Mariko sat in the corner and
continued to cry to herself.
*That baka....Chanyan will attack but he must not find out that I'm a Draconian. I
don't want to see anyone get killed by the ambush....I don't know what to do*
Dilandau continued watching her cry. *I....I didn't mean to get her upset. I just want
to go back to bed!* In efforts to stop her crying, he placed his hands around her shoulders.
"Crying won't help anything....you should get some rest, ok?" Dilandau said gently.
*Where did those words come from? O..yea...ME*
Mariko abruptly stopped her sobs when she felt two, warm and comforting hands on
her shoulders. *What the......?? Is that him??? Why is he being so nice?*
She slowly turned her head and found Dilandau inches away from her face. *Huh??
What the....?* they both thought. They quickly backed away from each other and Dilandau
withdrew his arms. They both look down and blushed a deep crimson.
"I better be going"
"Nooo....please stay? I'm scared..." Mariko said in a timid voice. She looked at him,
gaze meeting gaze. Without waiting for an answer, she then settled down and closed her
eyes.
Dilandau let out a grunt as he sat across from her. "Women" he whispered. *But how
could I say no?? She is like a sleeping angel. I remember everything about her....every lash,
the curve of her lips, every strand of her hair, those eyes. When I held her, she was so
warm......the heat from her body. Why can't I get her out of my mind? Why can't I?*
A/N- MysticMoon: Dilandau?? Hey Dilandau!! *starts waving her arms in front of his face*
Cute-ass Dilandau: Wah?? Huh? O....its you. *blinks, looks bored*
MysticMoon: Stop dreaming about Mariko!! Your suppose to be mine!! *slap slap*
Dilandau: GRRRRR....*takes out flamethrower and burns MysticMoon to a crisp* *grins*
MysticMoon: Ha!! Since this is only anime, I won't be burn to ashes and I'll be back with
Chapter Ten really soon!!
Dilandau: *has the famous insane look* Can't wait for what happens next!! HAHAHA.....
