Chapter Three: Accidents Happen
Dagger ran to a table and pulled out a chair. She turned and smiled prettily at Baku who was staring at Zidane with a certain interest. "Um, sir, a chair for you," she said politely as she bowed away from him as he sat down. He left out a mighty guffaw as he continued staring at Zidane, but finally turned away when Ruby asked him if he would like a drink.
"Sure, Ruby," Baku replied, giving her a brief smile. "Hey, do you remember all the lines for the princess?"
"Sure do, Boss," Ruby answered, walking behind the bar and fixing Baku a drink. When she was finished she walked around to the bar and to the table to hand Baku his drink. Baku took it gratefully and downed it in one sip. He set the small shot glass on the table with a sigh and let out another laugh while holding his stomach. He then turned to look at Dagger with laughter still lingering in his eyes.
"Well, Dagger here isn't ready to perform, so that leaves you to play the part," Baku responded. "Would you be interested in getting paid to help us out?"
"Of course, Boss! Anythin' for you," Ruby said, containing her excitement. She gave a mental squeal and that seemed enough to content her.
"Well, you might as well get ready," Baku muttered, standing up and walking toward the door. Dagger pushed in his chair for him. He turned back around to give Ruby a brief smile although he wasn't looking at Ruby he was looking at Zidane. "The play starts in a half hour. Be on the airship as soon as you are dressed and ready."
Baku turned and left, laughing all the way. Everyone followed him except for Dagger. She was still standing behind the chair she had just pushed in and Ruby was giving her a strange look. "Anythin' wrong darlin'?"
Dagger attention snapped up from the table. She glanced to her right then her left where Ruby was standing as though just realizing that she was there. "Oh...my, I apologize, ma'am," Dagger stuttered, shaking her head clear of what had just happened.
"Are you okay, darlin'? You look a little pale," Ruby asked, concerned for the girl she had just met.
"Y-yes.....I believe I am quite alright," Dagger said, forcing a small smile. That smile disappeared the second it appeared. Dagger grabbed her head with her gloved hands as a small sharp pain shot through it. She fell to her knees.
"Oh dear....," Ruby murmured, running to Dagger's side. She a hand on the girl's shoulder. "Zidane-baby, could you come here a minute?"
"Yeah, what's up?" Zidane asked, walking around to the other side of the table. He saw the beautiful girl he saw earlier clutching her head in pain and Ruby was kneeled down next to her with face upturned to look at Zidane in concern. "What happened?"
"I-I don't know....she was driftin' off in space free as a bird and when I called her back down....she went pale and fell holdin' her head like some bomb shower just went off," Ruby explained as Zidane kneeled down in front of Dagger. Her eyes were closed in pain and there were tears threatening to fall. But, suddenly, her face relaxed and she let out a sigh.
~*~Dagger's POV~*~
What was that I had just seen? A woman and a man? Blood? Whose blood? And from where? What is going on? Am I recalling what I have forgotten? No....couldn't be.....And that pain!
I sniffed and pushed my tears back from my eyes as the pain subsided. I then sighed of relief and schooled my face into calm lines. I blinked my eyes open only to discover a pair of sea colored blue eyes staring back at me. I could feel my mouth drop in surprise, but could do nothing to stop it. Those eyes were devouring me. All the feelings shown in them, unlike mine which were always shallow and devoid of much, were eating me alive. Concern was most evident.
As my bodily function returned to normal, I pulled my hands off my head and dropped them to my side. I also closed my gaping mouth and returned my eyes to their rightful place, in my head. I finally realized that those eyes belonged to a rather nice looking male. His feathery blonde hair was cascading over his thin face and his gloved hands were on my shoulders. I felt myself turn a shade of red and I slipped out of his grip before realizing how rude it would've been.
"Are you okay, lady?" I heard him ask. I looked at him and covered my blooming roses of cheeks with my gloved hands. I then looked at Ruby who was standing next to him and then the small boy standing behind the man before looking back at the blonde man. He was only a few inches taller than me and he was very toned. Not with bulging muscles, but with smaller more relaxed muscles and by the dagger at his side I had to guess that he must be a thief. His clothes fit him nicely and made him more attractive. Then I saw a golden blonde thin tail sway out from behind him. I gave a confused look.
"I-I think...s-so....,sir," I managed. Man, my vocal cords just weren't up to par and I was still blushing like a tomato. What was going on?!
"Do you need to lie down or something?" the man asked me, stepping toward me again in concern. I could feel myself blush again.
"N-no....I'll be a-alright, I think," I muttered, stepping back away from him again only to trip over a chair. I stumbled back and caught my balance just before I met my impending doom, the wooden floor. I placed a hand on my heart as I felt it flutter nervously. What was happening?
I decided it was time for me calm myself down. It was only a man after all. And for all I knew I could already be married, therefore I couldn't be fawning over another man just because I might've forgotten my husband. I shook my head. Fawning? Where did that come from? I don't even know his name.
I finally glanced up from the floor after shaking my head. All three of them-the man, Ruby, and the boy- were staring at me with concern. "I apologize for troubling you....I must be off," I heard myself mumbled. Then, my feet carried me to the door and I walked up the stairs into the alleyway. I sighed of relief before walking off down the alleyway. I had to find a good seat to watch the play!
It was the perfect spot. The seats down on the floor were far too close and didn't allow you to see everything that went on at once. I suppose it would've been just as fun to sit down there, but I liked it just fine up here on the roof of the Inn. It was going to be so interesting watching my first play! Wait a minute, was this my first play?
~....A flash of a small girl twirling about in a long flowing dress....~
It was my first play right? I grabbed my head with one of my hands as a small dagger of pain shot through my head. What was that glimpse?
~....Another flash of a man with a nicely trimmed beard picking the girl up and twirling her around. They were both laughing...~
Who is that man? He looks so familiar, but why? I closed my eyes as more pain shot through my head. I barely heard the trumpets sound, signaling the beginning of the play. Why did I have to have one of my moments now of all times?! I was going to miss the play!
~...Another flash of the bearded man twirling the girl around. Suddenly I became the girl as though I traveled into her body. The man set me down and I smiled up at him as he held his hand out to me. I took one of his fingers in my hand...~
More pain and in a much stronger wave. I gripped my head again in both hands this time. It was slowing down just like before. How am I going to stop it?
~...I was running....running after the bearded man except this time he was in different clothes. He had on a long scarlet cloak and he was walking away from me. The dress I was wearing was slowing me down because it was far too long. I felt my fall and hit the hard marble. It was a dark blue hue. I began to cry in pain as I pulled my dress up to examine the scrap on my knee and then I looked at my hands. The man turned around...~
The pain was getting weaker. I felt it leaving me, but it was too late. I could feel a breeze as I leaned back. I couldn't help it and I couldn't stop it. My lost memories were going to be the end of me. I felt myself rolling down the tiles on the roof. I covered my head with my hands as best as I could, but it was futile. My arms were getting scrapped up, but that didn't matter because in a few minutes I was going to be a carcass lying on the pavement. The thought of this was horrifying.
I felt the darkness envelop me and all my thoughts of horror ceased. Later on I would discover that I had fainted.

I won't beg and I won't force! Free will brother!
Stay Tuned for Chapter Four: A Flashback of Truth.......What will happen to Dagger who has just fallen off the roof and is ready to become a sidewalk pancake? What was with all the flashbacks? The play gets underway! Baku's grand scheme of his new treasure hunt may be revealed! And finally the princess shows her face! And so do two other favs of mine, Steiner and Beatrix! (By the way....that's the other pairing for anyone who cares...you know....S/B (Steiner/Beatrix!))
