Chapter 3: Invitation to Dinner
Kagome picked up a knife that was neatly placed on the table by Lumiere himself. "I don't want to hurt you. I want to help you!" She argued, holding the knife by her side. Noticing the knife, Inu Yasha let out yet another growl. This time it was ear piercing. "Oh, you say you don't want to hurt me but you have a knife by your side!" He barked at the tiny but brave girl.
Looking down at the knife, she realized that wasn't going to help him believe her so she dropped it. The beast stared intently on her. "You do not fear me?" He questioned, cocking his head as he waited for her reply. "Why should I fear you, because of the way you look?" She asked, making his question into yet another question.
"Most people seem to..." The beast said, in a more depressing voice. She felt the sadness in his voice. "Well I'm not "most people", I'm Kagome, understand?" She asked, not meaning to make it sound so harsh. The beast walked up to her and grabbed her arm, not so tightly this time though.
"Have dinner with me tonight, girl. If all goes well you can do whatever you want, but make one bad move and you'll be in my gut pretty soon! Learn not to talk back to me in this time!" He shouted as he threw her into a large bedroom.
The young girl fell onto the bed and shouted into a pillow. "I thought I was getting through to him! Now I'm his prisoner and I may be his secondary dinner if I screw things up at dinner!" She cried. Maybe it was just her but the items in the room were moving closer to her.
"Dear child, don't cry now. I'll help you get ready for your big date. Okay Madame?" The dresser said. Kagome was frightened at first until she realized it was just another one of his servants. "We're not having a date tonight. This is just to see if I can be helpful to him. I may get eaten." She remarked, tears falling from her eyes. The dresser comforted Kagome and tried cheering her up but with no success.
The beast pounded on the door and rudely shouted the words "Dinner is ready; meet me downstairs in five minutes. Or else!" Kagome was worried about the or else part.
The dresser bounced and opened the top drawer up. "Pick your dress, Madame." She said. Kagome searched through the dresses and picked out a red dress with lace as the secondary layer. It was beautiful; maybe the beast would compliment her on her taste. 'Like that would ever happen!' She thought.
Once she slipped on her high heels she made her way downstairs. Walking gracefully down each step until she tripped on her dress and rolled down the stairs to hit her head on the hard wood floor. "That hurt..." She whined as she rubbed her throbbing head.
The beast truly admired her taste; his mother had worn that to a grand ball once. Guys from all different countries were hitting on her. "Nice dress." The beast stated, not trying to reveal her his emotions to her.
Kagome smiled, a glimmer of hope lit the room, but quickly went away when the beast yelled at her for being late to dinner. "Hurry over here girl, I don't have all day to wait for you. I'M HUNGRY!!" He shouted. Lumiere came rushing out of the kitchen to announce dinner is ready and about ten servants carried out all sorts of delicious meals.
"Here I thought you eat humans for dinner. Silly me!" Kagome remarked trying to help the sad social situation occurring between the two of them. The beast grumbled and mumbled "Deal with it, no stupid humans came to the mansion today. So no humans for dinner. Appreciate the fact I'm sharing food with you!"
She was thankful; this was the best meal she had seen in years. "I appreciate the meal. It looks great!" She boasted as she dug in. The beast smiled, someone really did appreciate him being nice. Maybe he would act like this more often. "Umm, a while ago you said you wanted to help us. Well, will you still help us even after how I acted?" He asked, pretending not to care how she answered. He joked.
"Sure, just ask and I'll do my best!" She said sweetly, which made the beast slightly blush. He finished up his meal and walked into the kitchen. As he passed her he examined her fragile human body. 'She's very cute and nice too.' He thought, realizing what he just said he couldn't help blushing. Lumiere hopped onto the kitchen cabinet and poked the beast. "My, my, aren't we getting a little far ahead of ourselves."
To his surprise, the beast laughed and nodded as he made his way back to his guest. 'This beast isn't so beastly anymore!' He told himself as he couldn't help but to smile at her. 'I appreciate your willingness to help us. But don't try to understand my emotions.'
Review and be off! Oh, and thanks soooo much for all the kind reviews! ^_^
