Chapter 12: Promise Me Twice
Okay, this is a writing style I'm just gonna try out. Enjoy!
Masatsumi is Kagome's friend/directress on the spring play. She looks a bit like Miaka except she has 2 strands of long hair loose that reaches to her knees. She has green eyes and is wearing their school uniform.
Masatsumi: "guys, guys!"
Guys:(busy talking and reading their scripts)
Masatsumi: "guys!"
Guys: (still talking and reading their scripts)
Masatsumi: "HELLOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!"
Guys: "hiii!!!!"
Masatsumi: "how many times do I have to tell you?! There ain't no auditions fro Christopher's role! We'll be hiring a professional actor! You know, like Brad Pitt, Leonardo, and other major hotties in the celebrity business. Not like wannabe's who just wanna get a kiss! Get it?"
Doors: (magically open) slam!
Masatsumi: "now wha---"
Sesshoumaru: (walks gracefully to Masatsumi with normal mask of indifference.)
Masatsumi: (0.0): eyes wide as saucers, mouth as big as a computer screen and just plain dufus lookin'.
Guys: sweat drops
Sesshoumaru: "I would like to be part of your cast as the character Christopher."
Masatsumi: "you got it." still looking like a dufus.
Guys: "hey! That isn't fair!"
Masatsumi: "shut up! You can have it all for you, Sesshoumaru-sama! You can even change the script if you like! You can even cast me as Medusa!"
Sesshoumaru: I do not favor working with a dud such as yourself. So do not even give it thought.
Masatsumi: okay.
Sesshoumaru: 'that was easier than I thought.' Walks away.
Masatsumi: "bye, Sesshoumaru-sama, I love you! Call me!!!!!"
Sesshoumaru: "no."
Masatsumi: "okay!"
Guys: glaring at her. "Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!"
Masatsumi: "what?! How can I turn him down?! I was looking for hotties!
Guys: "nnnnnnnnnnn!"
Okay, let's get back to the old types!
Meanwhile:
-Kag's pov-
Okay, so we're now here… inside the well house… in front of the well…
I'm scared! I mean what if Sesshoumaru tries to kill me after we got to our time?! What if Inu-yasha attacks him first and gets Kaede and the others involved?! What if-
"Wench." Huh? Oh, yeah.
"Oh, sorry I was just- hey, did you just call me wench?!" he's gonna get it now!
"Down!" 'Wham!'
"When will they learn?" I said to the imaginary person in the skies. I heard him growl at me again as he straightened up.
"You are getting spoiled, wench. You think that my half-brother will always be there to protect you. You think he will always be there to feed you and warm your nights-"
In that little sentence, I couldn't hide my anger. So I slapped him. Right across his pretty little face.
"Exactly how low do you think of me, Sesshoumaru? How long do you think I would put up with you bad mouthing either Inu-yasha or me? How many times do you think I'll let you insult me as a human being, or as a woman?! You know what? I don't care if you're the taiyoukai of the West! I don't even care who the heck you think you are! But this is MY world! And in my world, we don't do that! We don't let youkais, big or small, insult us like you do! I'm just being nice 'coz that's what I do. So why don't you just step off and stop trippin'! 'K?" wow… I never thought I'd ever say such a speech! Where'd I get that? Well, whatever! 'Coz now that I said it… he became silent… real silent.
Why is he looking at me like that? It's like his eyes are looking into my very soul! And I don't like it one bit!
Okay, getting mighty uncomfortable here! Must change the subject!
"Okay, so shall we?" I indicated the well.
"Hmph" he said as he showed me as small movement of the corner of his mouth. Oh, gosh he was… smiling!!!!
"You have enough courage to face I, Sesshoumaru, woman." What was he talking about? Suddenly, he grabbed me by the waist and jumped head first into the well! I was so shocked I couldn't even think straight! So I clutched onto his armored chest in fear of dying. Stupid!!!! I can't die falling in this kind of well!
But I noticed then that the more I held onto him… the more he held onto me…. and somehow… I felt so much…. Safer… it was like being held by an angel. But I knew better than to think Sesshoumaru as an angel… but as light engulfed us… I held onto his comfort closing my eyes in sudden, unknown peace. I couldn't push him away for it felt too real and yet it felt like a dream, all at the same time.
All I knew now was that, 'I don't want him to let go.'
-Sessho's pov-
I held onto the brave ningen in my arms. She earned my respect by standing up for her own respect. This was the kind of woman that I would favor Rin to become in the future… a woman of high standards and of pride. This woman in my arms, this…Kagome, was an exemplary for Rin.
As the lights disappeared, I could smell fresh waters and trees. Skies and land. Yes. This was Sengoku Jidai. This was where I knew everything and had fewer questions to bother myself with.
I jumped up and out of the well and saw what I expected: Trees and grass. This was where I belonged.
Suddenly, I sensed an aura. Of a youkai! It was approaching in great magnitude of speed.
"Kagome!!!!!!!!" a brown fur ball came hurdling towards the onna and instinctively, I stopped it with my hand.
As the wiggling ceased, I found it was a kit cub.
"Shippou!" the ningen seemed familiar with it so this Sesshoumaru let the kit cub go.
It fell with a loud thud and smoke came from the ground!
"Hey! That wasn't very nice In---- y-y-y-y-you're not Inu-yasha!" he said pointing at me.
"Indeed, cub. I am far from your description of the mutt." I said looking down at the frightened, pathetic creature. It scrambled onto its feet and ran to the onna by my side.
"Get away! Don't worry, Kagome, I'll protect you from him!" he said taking a defensive stance in front of this Sesshoumaru. This has turned out to be very amusing.
"Uh-Shippou, he's-"
"Don't panic, Kagome! I bet Inu-yasha'll come any minute now!"
"Shippou! Calm down!" although I respect her, she can still annoy me at times!
'WHAM!' this did not hurt much, but it damaged my pride immensely.
"Wench, stop your clumsy talking!" I said as I straightened my posture.
"Oops! Sorry, Sesshoumaru, didn't mean it!" she said smiling like an idiot.
"Whoa! Sesshoumaru has a subduing necklace?! And you're talking like he wasn't trying to kill you!" he said looking at both of us time by time.
"Of course not! He's now my friend!" what? I was now… her friend?
"KAGOME!!!!! GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!!" I heard my brother's voice and the rumbling of the ground! There was a strong aura of a youkai coming.
I looked back and saw that it was the hanyou being chased by a giant ogre. Inu-yasha looked tired and weak while the ogre looked strong because of the shards on his forehead.
Instinctively, I grabbed Kagome once again and took her far from the ogre… wait! Since when did I indicate her as Kagome?
I set her onto her feet and she looked at me with those beautiful eyes…
"Do not fear…" she couldn't understand my statement by the looks in her eyes. Neither could I. What did I mean? "I will protect you… I give you my word." Why did I…
-Kag's pov-
"I give you my word." Those words… I never knew that I could feel so… secure by only hearing those words! Why do those words seem familiar? 'Sesshoumaru…'
Sessh-kun… I remember, I was being bullied by this big fatso in school and then Sessh-kun came and fought him away. After I asked him why when we were such big rivals, he simply said… 'I will protect you… I give you my word' and he left.
Perhaps… Sesshoumaru means what he says. Perhaps even after being reincarnated… he'll still protect me… I smiled at the thought… I felt so reassured.
"Thank you…" I whispered… perhaps… I care for Sesshoumaru a whole lot more than I think. Maybe as much as I care for Sessh-kun…
