Un and On lowered themselves to the grassy ground, and Rin hopped off. The dragonheads smiled at each her, and then looked uneasily at each other.
"Please, come in!" Un nudged her a little with his nose, which came about to her shoulder.
Rin walked cautiously up the steps of the gigantic castle. Un and On chattered about all the wonderful things in the castle, and were certain she would love it.
Huge brass doors blocked their entrance, and Rin pulled open the doors with many mighty tugs. Inside, a glass floor cascaded its way down the hall. The walls were silver, and every faint light bounced off it to show more brightly. Rin looked up, and could barely find the ceiling, as it was so far away. They walked down the corridor; Un bragging and flirting while On was teasing him about things he couldn't pronounce.
"How long have you been here?" Rin's melodic voice rang through the halls.
On smiled, "Oh, much longer than you!"
Un bumped him, and then said, "Many years. Many, many years. I suppose, about 400 years now. Right On?"
On shrugged the best he could, which mainly consisted of stretching out his neck, and then shrinking back.
Upon reaching the end of the hall, she saw it expand outwards, encasing an enormous staircase, and an enchanting ballroom. Glass chandeliers lighted up the entire castle; ones near the second floor were broken, so the next level was dark, and mysterious. The staircase was black, with silver banisters. Rin looked longingly at them, and wished she could slide down them, but then remember she was 16, and a grown woman.
"What's up there?" Rin asked aloud.
"Uh. You don't want to go up there! Didn't you come to rest? That's no place to rest, so, come along!" Un said nervously.
"Besides, that's where Lord Ses-" On started, but Un head-smashed him, and On bit his tongue.
"Who?" Rin asked.
"Um, no one. In fact, I think he's delirious, come on, lets go." Un pushed her away once more, as a large shadow swooshed past them behind the shadows.
Eventually, they came upon a large bedroom, painted silver and blue. A large bed was in the middle, blue with silver pillows, and silver drapes. A wooden dresser was hiding in a corner, and Rin's eyes immediately went to its crystal knobs. On the opposite corner, a closet was slightly ajar. Her source of light came from a glass chandelier, which held 5 candles, star form. In the middle of the back wall, Rin noticed that it held the absence of a painting.
Rin shivered once more, and then sat down on the bed.
On looked confused, "Are you hungry? Me too!"
"No you idiot! She's cold!" Un said annoyed.
"No, really. I'm fine. But I want to ask you about that dog. Where is he?" She asked.
"Down the hall, 2 doors left. 5 min-" On rambled, but Un cut in,
"Probably in his room somewhere."
"On the second floor!" On chipped in.
Un hit him as hard as he could, "Idiot!"
Rin smiled, "So that's what up there. But why can't I see him?"
Un shrugged, "He's… kind of temperamental."
"You'd be dead if he came down here!" On said loudly.
Rin shrunk back on the bed, fear deeply etching itself on her face.
"Kill you, that's an exaggeration. He's just… moody, that's all. He just takes time." Un said assuring.
"Time? But I'm only staying one night! Probably I won't return!" She protested.
"You're going away?" On said shocked, a deer-in-the-headlights look in his eyes.
"Yes, she's going away!" Un sighed.
Quietly, he murmured, "Why did I have to have you as my other head."
On frowned, "Hey, its not so great that you're my third head either, okay!"
Rin smiled, "On, there's only two heads."
On shook his head, "No you silly carrot! There's me, Un, and Fred!" He was pointing to their tail.
Rin started to laugh as Un yelled, "You named our butt?!"
Suddenly, the candles were blown out, and a cold burst of wind blew through the room. A large thump was heard, and Rin screamed. On screamed also, and the two headed dragon scampered into the closet. Rin could tell that a humongous something was blocking the doorway, and she scooted even farther back. The large red eyes flashed, and started to advance on her. Rin scampered backward, and fell off the bed with a squeak. The eyes didn't stop, and neither did she. She felt the cold wall on her back, and started panicking, looking for some way to escape.
But then it shifted its gaze, and turned to the closet, which dimly lit up the dragon.
A large, deep voice echoed in the room and into the hallway, "DO YOU MIND TELLING ME WHY THIS HUMAN IS HERE?"
Rin covered her ears to block out some of the noise, when the eyes diverted themselves back to her, and growled. Immediately, she dropped her hands.
"Well, um, my Lord, she was lost in the woods, and the tree demon found her, and called us, and, and we decided to bring her here-" Un's voice was silenced with a large growl.
"We hoped you wouldn't come down." On's voice said cheerily.
The eyes whipped across to Rin, and stood above her, its heat warming her against the cold wall, "TOO BAD."
"YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE! NO ONE KNOWS IF WE'RE STILL HERE, AND THEY SHALL NOT KNOW WE STILL EXIST. WOULD THEY STAY AWAY AFTER THEY HEAR THAT YOU SAW MY CASTLE, AND ME, AND THEN WAS SENT HOME ALIVE? AND YOU, A DIRTY HUMAN WOULD CERTAINLY LEAK THIS INFORMATION. AS SUCH, YOU CANNOT LEAVE." He addressed her, nipping at her legs.
Rin screamed at the bite, but then yelled, "What are you? Are you the dog, or another freaky thing living here?"
On gasped, and the eyes roared, daring to blow her eardrums.
"YOU ARE TO STAY HERE!!! YOU LEAVE; YOU DIE!! YOU GO UPSTAIRS, AND I'LL THROW YOU OUT THE WINDOW AND EAT YOU BEFORE YOU EVER REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED!!!" The red eyes glared menacingly, and then leapt away.
Rin looked around at the room that was to be her home, thought of her uncle, and started crying against the wall, hugging herself. Un and On walked slowly towards her, heads bent low, the candles relighting themselves with a cool glow.
"We're very sorry Rin. We wish it didn't have to be this way. But, as I said, he's not always like this, and-" Un started, but Rin interrupted him in a cloud of rage.
"YOU KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN! YOU KNEW, DIDN'T YOU?"
On smiled, "Of course we did silly carrot!"
Un tried to bite his brother, and then slowly backed out of the room, "If you need anything, just call for us… We truly are sorry it had to be this way."
Then, the door shut after them, and Rin fell to the right, sliding off the wall, crying too hard to hold herself any longer.
Aw.. she's a carrot! Un and On talk! Realize, I did take the BASIC theme of Beauty and the Beast. I find it funny that I'm writing about Sesshomaru, and Kayzu's writing about Inuyasha, yet Inuyasha's my favorite, and Fluffy's hers! (Go read fluffysmaiden44's stuff) (Review) ~Miaa
