Warrior from the other world

Chapter 4

Now What?

Sandy hearing this turns to Chichiri who was still sitting beside her listening to everything. The only thing she could think of was that she would do anything to protect Miaka and … Chichiri. She did not know why but she felt close to Chichiri even though they had just met. Turning back to Taiitsukun Sandy said, "I will do the job."

Chichiri did not move at all even when Sandy looked at him. He knew she was looking at him but he was trying not to show her that he was blushing because of that. He was thinking that she looks so cute in his clothes. Then when he realizes what he was thinking he had blushed. He could not figure it out but she made him feel happy when she was near by. Taiitsukun and Sandy talked a little more. Chichiri deep in thought did not notice Sandy leave to go take a walk with one of the Nyan-Nyan. Taiitsukun looking at Chichiri was trying to figure out why he was still sitting there. She goes over to him and hits him on the head causing Chichiri to snap out of his thoughts to find Sandy gone and Taiitsukun waiting to talk to him. Taiitsukun and Chichiri began to talk while Sandy and the Nyan- Nyan walked around the lake by the bottom of the mountain.

After a while, Sandy decided that she was tired and so the Nyan-Nyan took her to a room. The Nyan-Nyan said goodnight and left. Sandy looked at the room and walked to the bed. The room smelled familiar but she could not remember where she had smelled it before. The smell started to make Sandy feel warm and very comfortable as she sat on the bed. Sandy's eyes started to get use to the dark so she could see that the room looked like it had been someone's before. It had a chair and a small cabinet for clothes with a mirror on the top. The room over all was very neat and clean. The bed was soft and warm as Sandy took off her shoes and crawled in it. It did not have a blanket but Sandy did not think she would need one, so she rolled over and fell asleep.

Taiitsukun and Chichiri were still talking while Sandy was going to sleep. Taiitsukun was asking about Chichiri's trip and how he was. She also asked him if he would help her teach Sandy magic. Chichiri said that he would be glad to help. Taiitsukun then asked him, "Why were you blushing so much in the earlier meeting?" Chichiri just froze. He had no idea that she saw him blushing. He was not really sure himself why he blushed, it was just something about her.

"I don't know," he replied.

She just looked at him with a smile and moved on to the next line of business. Chichiri was still thinking to himself when Taiitsukun smacked him on the head for not paying attention. She told him to make sure he was open and honest with himself and with Sandy or the training would not work. A little unsure what she exactly meant, he still said ok. Taiitsukun then said it was late and they should go to bed and get some rest because tomorrow will be a busy day. She went off to her room while Chichiri went to his room.

Chichiri walked slowly trying to figure out what Taiitsukun meant by her last statement. Chichiri still deep in thought reached his room and goes in. He puts his hat and staff by the chair and then turns around facing the bed. Chichiri didn't notice a pair of shoes sitting near the bed that were not his when he sat down on the bed.

He took off his shoes putting them by the bed and then took off his cloak so he could use it as a blanket. Chichiri laid down and put the cloak over him. He started to hear someone breathing and looked over to see…

…Sandy fast a sleep beside him.

"DA!" he said surprised.

'What is she doing in my bed,' he thought.

After the shock wore off he noticed that she looked cold and was crying in her sleep. He sighed and put his cloak over her, too. Chichiri gave Sandy a hug and wiped away her tears wanting to make her feel better.

Sandy's eyes opened slowly to find Chichiri holding her under his cloak. Trying to figure out where she was or what happened she looked at Chichiri's face who was smiling at her.

Chichiri asked, "Are you alright, no da?"

Sandy still unsure what was going on nodded her head and said, "I am fine. Thank you."

"Can I ask you why you are in my room?" Chichiri asked softly.

"I am sorry I didn't know it was your room. A Nyan-Nyan brought me here so I can go to sleep. If you would like me to leave, I will." replied Sandy with a little sadness in her voice.
