Medea and Jesse finally parted after the last few quavering notes were played on a violin like instrument. She curtied and smiled at Jesse, who slowly bowed and stepped back. Jesse backed into the crowd as Media got ready for the next dance, which was traditional of all the women present. They stoud in a cirle, their backs to each other, then the music started up. It was a medium paced song, with a slow and mournful sound to it. The vocalist began singing in a strange laguange.
Yo ne noyoko ana" she began and the dancers stoud on the balls of their feet and slowly walked in a circle, their arms streched over their heads, swaying gently to the beat. Jesse only now noticed that the dancers weren't wearing any shoes. They twirled quickly, their skirts billowing out, then crouched down to the floor. The instruments had a mesure or too by them selves then, when the vocalist started again, the women slowly made their way up.They were as graceful as horses, agile as serpents, They stoud in a circle once more and faced eachother. Clasping there hands criscrossed over, they spun apart and made their way to the crowds around. The singer continued and the elder ladies brought their husbands out into the floor, Media gently took Deren's hand and backed into the dance floor, tiny cymbals clicking from the ocatstra. Hitomi was soon standing next to Jesse, who, she noticed, was captivated by the dancers.
"enjoying the dancing" She wispered in his ear. He jumped startled from the voice
"Oh, Hitomi, yes I am,Iwas wondering what the music was saying" Hitomi smiled and began to translate the next stanza. The dancers were dancing their seperate dances as hitomi began to translate
"the dark night sky above
exsists to expose are hearts
as they cry out to each other
when the two of us are apart
throw off those usless trappings
some things can be only seen
when you have lost everything" Media walked to the middle of the dance floor, and the room quieted. SHe began in a pose, kneeling on the floor, her hands up to the heavens. Then the music started slow and seductive. She gracefully came up on her feet and Kicked up, sending her skirt in a swirl of spirals and colors. She spun on her feet, making the diamonds sown on her bodice and the ones in her tiara sparkle so beautifully, that even her father would stop and stare at the beauty of this girl (not like that, get ur head out of the gutter)
She kicked up and spun. Then she lept in the air, her legs straight in front or behind her, She landed and streched out into a split. Then she Spun once more and landed infront of Jesse. He stared at her as she took his shoulder and pulled him out in the dance floor, her steps slow and careful. She stopped in the middle, and suddenly, Jesse knew what to do. They began to dance, energetically, and dominally. Media kicked up on the second to last beat, Jesse caught her leg and picked her up, holding her under her leg and her waist. The music ended and Jesse backed away. The last stanza was starting
"that was great Jesse." hitomi congragulated him on his performance. He smiled and nodded then turned his attention back to the dancers. They were spinning again, faster and faster. The elder stopped at the second line
"will u translate Hitomi?' Jesse asked, captivated. She smiled and nodded
"oh, wind, i rise, turn and face you
now let us go to the sea of torment ahead
it is my joy. to be able to believe in you,
this storm blows.
to remind us both of the love
that wee share" The last note the women froze, each in a different position, Media was standing in the middle, her arms raised high to the stars. They were all breathin hard, their faces red with heat and exitment. Media looked at Jesse and smiled, he smiled back
~she is truely beautiful~ Media began to walk to him, but Deren intercepted and pulled her to the side. Jesse rolled his eyes, Deren was too dominant, you couldn't live with Media and be dominant. YOu just... what was he thinking? He didn't know! He had barely been here a day and already he was judging people? Jesse sighed as Hitomi went to find Van. He crossed his arms over his chest and just stoud there, looking totally out of place with his highlighted tips, and his small silver hoop through his left ear. Media pulled away from Deren, who had been munching on her neck like it was a candy bar. Her neck was sore and red. She pulled her hair down and placed it over her neck, so the redness didn't show. Then she pushed her way through the throng of people to where Jesse stoud.
"Hey" she said smiling, He looked over and his face lite up when he saw her
"hey, that dance, was.. was terrific! You were great" She smiled at him again and blushed slightly
"thanks, i just do it for fun," She was wringing her hands together, Jesse noticed this and pulled them apart. She began to say thank you, but was captivated by Jesse's eyes once more.Someone grabbed Media's arm, She spun quickly to see who it was,and reached for a small knife hidden in a pocket. The mans' hand quickly lay the knife back into her pocket.
"hello dear" Deren said. Media sighed and screamed inwardly ~why don't u leave me alon??????????~
She forced a smile "hello deren." He took her hand and lead her to the dance floor. They danced and Media quickly made her way back to Jesse as Deren went and flirted with the maidens.
"hey"
"hey" They talked for the remader of the ball. They relized that they had alot in common. Media was capitivated by how smart Jesse was and jesse how witty Media was.
"it's a gift" she joked and they laughed.Finally, the ball ended with one last dance and the guests were quickly ushered out. Media was thinking about what Jesse had said to her, about justice and freedom of speech. SHe wanted to learn alot more about this. It was really intresting. She went into her room and quickly changed into a pair of navy pants and a white t-shirt. She lay in her bed thinking how a world could be like that ,so free of hate. She had to know. She climbed out of bed and walked silently across the floor to Jesse's room. He wasn't there. she decided to wait for him and she sat in an armchair.
"I'll wait for u" she thought and fell deeply into sleep
well, what do you guys think??? Sucky I know but the next chappy will get a little more intresting. HOw? I don't know ,but.........
