Hi everyone! I've updated it. I hope you enjoy!
Sesshoumaru: And don't forget about me!
Toshikaloveg: Nobody cares about you!
Sesshoumaru: Hmph. We'll see about that. I have so many fans I can't count them on ten fingers.
Toshikaloveg: We'll see how high your rating is when I tell your secret. He--
(Sesshoumaru covers her mouth.)
Sesshoumaru: Ahaha. She's lying so don't pay attention to her. Just read the story.
Chapter 5: Fight for Life
Sesshoumaru leaped and went after the enemy demons while Toshika lay against a ruined wall. Sesshoumaru tore and slashed at the demons and soon blood tainted the once beautiful and peaceful sea. After only one was left, Toshika had regained her energy and stood up to purify the water.
"With the power of this talisman, I command thee to release thy power to heal this water!" As she chanted, the talisman grew bright and then a blinding light was released from it and when it was gone, the water was clear once again.
The last enemy demon was let go and it swam away. Sesshoumaru went over to where Toshika was putting the talisman back in her hair. "That," he said, "is something I will never get over." They both laughed, feeling relieved that the small battle was over.
They both headed back to the castle. As the reached the border, they could both see that the remaining people were trying to fix everything. Toshika sighed. How could I let this happen? I'm not worthy of being the princess… She felt arms around her and was surprised that Sesshoumaru was hugging her. She hugged him back. He knows how I feel…
As they entered the castle, servants were rushing about, trying to fix anything they were able to. The king and queen were sitting on the thrones. They gestured Toshika and Sesshoumaru forward. They approached cautiously. When the king saw this, he laughed. "No need to be afraid. We only want to congratulate and thank you. You have driven away those awful demons and we are forever grateful." Sesshoumaru bowed and said, "It is nothing. But I have a favor to ask." He took a quick glance at Toshika. "I wish to be Toshika's mate." They both had a startled look on their faces. So did Toshika. After a startled moment, she blushed. The king said, "I shall consider this." Sesshoumaru had a small disappointment in his face but said, "Yes, Your Majesty." And headed toward the room that he was staying in.
Toshika looked at his retreating back and when he turned the corner, she turned to her parents with a hopeful look. The king sighed and rubbed his temples. "Toshika…"
"I know what you're thinking father…" she said. "Darling, why not let her make her own choice? It is considering who her future husband will be and not to mention he is a powerful Taiyokai." The queen said. The king sighed again. "All…right. It is your right and choice to choose your mate. You may do whatever you want." Toshika's insides jumped with glee. She bowed, "Thank you! Thank you father!" and she ran to her adopted sister's room. The king said, "I hope you know what you're doing."
"Amaru! Amaru! Guess what?!" A girl with brown hair came out of the bathroom combing her long hair. "What is it that you're so excited about Toshika?" "Sesshoumaru…You remember him right?" "Yeeah…what about him?" "Wellll, he asked to be my mate!" "Mm hm… like that was really unexpected." "WHAAT? How did you know?" " I'm a miko, I can tell these things. You've known me long enough to know what I'm like." Toshika flopped onto Amaru's bed. "Humph. You could have told me sooner you know." "I didn't want to…um…ruin his moment." Amaru flopped onto the bed with Toshika. "Toshika, how long have we been sisters?" "Umm…I think it's been……14 years." "It's been awhile huh?" "Yeah." Toshika got up and headed toward the door. "I'm gonna go see Sesshoumaru okay?" "Okay, bye."
She left the room thinking, Sesshoumaru loves me…
There you go. It's kinda short but I need to leave things a mystery and make you desperate for more. (Whispers) oh, and Sesshoumaru's secret is he-
Sesshoumaru: What do you think you're doing?! There is no secret!
Toshikaloveg: Yes there is!
Sesshoumaru: No there isn't!
(The argument goes on and on and on...)
Mystery person: Bye.
