-Chapter 3: Escapeing the dance-
-At the ball-
Hiei had been dancing for what seemed like hours and hadn't managed to find a single woman he could tolerate. Too many poofy dresses and disgustingly cheerful smiles. He could barely even look any of them in the eye.
Across the ball room once again Yusuke was dancing with Keiko. Both smiled happily.
"Wow Keiko, your a great dancer."
"You think so? Thanks, i've been practicing."
"Yeah but im no good. Im just following you."
"Oh come on Yus-AUGH!" Yusuke accidentally stepped on her foot, causing her to yelp and pull away. Somehow as she jumped away she tripped him, leading him to fall right into her chest. Her cheeks flared.
"PERVERT!"
SMACK!
And she stomped away fuming. Yusuke Stared after her, then noticed Hiei laughing at him from the other side of the room. He then in one swift movement stood up, prominently flipped Hiei off, and ran after Keiko.
Hiei snickered and wathced as he left.
"Well that didnt last long." He was about to continue with the dancing when the room became silent, and everyones attention had focused on the ball rooms main entrance. A girl with dark brown eyes and a red dress stood at the top of the stairs. She was absolutly beautiful. A few moments passed and she frowned akwardly.
"Whys everone staring...is there something on my face?"
The people realised thier rudeness and went back to dancing and chattering, but somehow Hiei couldnt take his eyes off the girls who had just entered. There was something about her. His thoughts were interrupted by his freind Shippou taking his arm and pulling him from the ball room, carefully avoiding King Koenma and his wives sight. Hiei, shocked, turned to him after they entered that hall.
"Shippou, what the hell are you doing?" He growled.
"You weren't enjoying yourself so I thought i would get you out, Ill just tell the King and Queen that it was my fault and I pulled you away from the ball."
Hiei was shocked at his freinds selflessness, he could be in serious trouble for what he did, but he did it anyways.He wanted to thank him, but his cold personality would not allow it. His face remained emotionless.
"Hn."
Shippou smiled. "So how about we go to the weaponry room and spar for a while?" Hiei nodded and tehy were off. On their way they passed by Yusuke and Keiko, who were engaged in a passionate kiss at the moment. Hiei decided not to bother him now and kept walking.
-In the ball room-
Sango was still practicly the center of attention. She barely ever had a moment to catch her breath as every five seconds someone would sweep her off to the dance floor. A sigh escaped her lips and she looked around the room. She gasped and noticed the young boy she had seen the other day. The boy who had given her the letter to go to the ball. She curtseyed to her current partner and ran off before he could protest.
Sango slowly approached the young boy."Hello" she said with a kind smile, "may I have this dance?"
He looked up at her, confused, and nodded. She led him to the dance floor and the two danced, a bit clumsily though, most of the night sango had only been following her partners because she wasnt a very good dancer. In fact, she was horrible, and the boy didnt seem to be very good eather, not to mention he was about a head shorter than her. They bumped into countless people.
"Hey!"
"Oof!"
"Watch it!"
The two laughed.
"So whats your name?" Sango said. The boy smiled, now seemingly getting used to her.
"I'm Kohaku, and im a servent here." He said with a bright smile.
"Im Sango." She said and he nodded. Suddenly he shifted uncomfortably.
"Hey, have we..I dont know, met somewhere before? I feel like I know you from somewhere.."
"I dont know." She said said uncertainly. She did, before her real parents died, have a little brother who would be about kohaku's age, but he died with her parents in a freak wagon accident, right?
Kohaku's eyes suddenly widened.
"Oh no!I forgot i have to go help in the kitchen tonight! I have to go!" He yelled and started running away. Sango stared after him wistfully. She turned around and with a small gasp realized someone was behind her.
"N-Narrak-ku!"
"And what do you think your doing here!"
-Weaponry room-
Slash! Klink! Swoosh! Klank!
BAM! BOOM!THUNK!
Hiei unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Shippou in a fighting stance. Shippou did the same and soon teh fight began. SHippou dodged left and right from Hiei's deadly blows and swiftly swung his sword at him. Hiei blocked it and with much more strength than needed, threw shippou into the nearest wall.
"Ungh, tone it down a bit okay your ma-...Hiei."
Hiei snorted and helped him up. "Maybe your just weak."
Shippou sighed then heard something in the hall. Footsteps? Who would be down here at this time? Hiei seemed to have heard it too because his grip tightened on his sword and he stared at the door expectantly.
And the footsteps seemed to be comeing closer to the room they were in.
-The ball-
Narraku had a look of pure fury on his face.
"How DARE you disobay me, your going home, NOW!" he roughly grabbed her arm. SHe yelped, then jerked away.
"LIKE HELL I AM!" She yelled, startleing a few bystanders. Narraku made to grab her again but she punched him in the gut and ran like the devil was at her heels.He fell to his knees and passed out. She felt great after taking Narraku on like that, but horrible for the fact that she would probably never be able to go home after what she had done.Finally after a long time of running she stopped in an unfamiliar part of the castle 'Where the heck am I?' she thought desperately. She could hear noises. People fighting? 'They must be knights in the castle!Maybe one knows the way out and will help me!' she ran to the nearest door and opened it cautiously. Immediatly she found herself face to face with the tip of a sword.
"Who are you and what are you doing here!" came the chillingly cold voice of the swords weilder. She glared at him. "I dont really feel like telling that to someone who seems to be at the verge of killing me." She motioned to the sword. He glared harder, tehn reluctantly sheathed it once again.
"Hn, your probably no threat anyways."
She flinched but tried to remain calm. A red headed fellow behind the other looked at her curiously.
"Madam, shouldn't you be at the ball?" he stepped over to the door, looked both ways, then closed it with a sigh."Hiei I'm gonna go before your parents get suspisious, okay?"
"Hn" The red head nodded and left.
" So, uh,Hiei I'm trying to get out of here, do you know the way out?"
He almost paused to correct her upon the fact that no commoner should be allowed to call royalty by thier names but stopped. For some reason he like the way she said his name. He voice was soft and smooth, not high pitched and giddy like the girls he had danced with earlier. Besides she obviously didn't know who he was anyways.
"Keh, like im gonna risk getting caught just to help some woman to the exit." Hiei said, unsheathing his sword and walking over to the other side of the room to continue training. He looked over his shoulder at her, noticing her defeated look and sighed."Besides, the only way out is the way you got in." he paused and gave her a sceptical look. "unless you wanna jump out a window."
She shook her head then sat down on a wooden crate near the door. "How long until the ball ends?" she asked.
"Hours." He snarled and went back again to his sword. They sat in an akward silence for a bit until finally she stood up and walked over to him to observe his swordsmanship." Your holding your sword wrong." She said simply. He stared at her incrediously before glaring dangerously at her."I know that." She rolled her eyes. and picked up a simaler sword and swung it gracefully. She turned to him again.He was actually quite handsome, wearing some kind of royal garb. Could he be royalty!..Nah, no prince could be that good with weapons.She could tell he was an expert by his posture.Maybe she could spar with him? "By the looks of it your not planning on going to the ball, and im not leaving until its over, so do you wanna spar with me?" He continued to glare at her, then almost smirked.
"I dont know, can you spar wearing a dress? I dont have time for little girls like you." He ignored her shocked, and equally angry expression..
"I bet I could beat you easily!Unless your too afraid?" She yelled. It seemed she had finally struck a nerve because he suddenly spun around and attempted to slash her. She parried it and got in a ready possition.
"I'll make you wish you never said that woman!"
"My names not woman!"
"Hn."
-Back at the ball-
"Kanna! Kanna where are you!" Kagura yelled. She had just found her father passed out on the floor and her sister missing. She soon spotted her talking to a servent bot at the castle, the one who had delivered them their letter, and rolled her eyes.
The entire ball had been a big bore. NO one had asked her to dance, save a red headed irish fellow whom she had never seen in her life, but ignored anyways, and a scary looking old man whom she ran from. Apparently the prince was no longer present so there was no reason to stay.
"Father wake up!"
Botan looked around the room. Her eldest son was nowhere to be seen!
"Koenma! Hiei is gone!" She said urgently to her husband. He looked around then rolled his eyes.
"How did I know this would happen. Well, I suppose we'll have to send the guards out for him." He paused as he saw shippou running from the hall and motioned for him to come. Shippou approached suspisiously.
"Yes your Highness..."
"Have you seen the prince?" Hes missing, and if he doesnt find a bride soon-"
"He's with a girl right now!" Shippou bursted out hoping it was a good cover for Hiei's absence.
"OH!" Botan gasped,"was it that cute girl with the orange hat?"
"Er, no"
" Was it the brunette with the red dress?" Shippou nodded.
"Yeah they left the ball together and seemed to really be hitting it off." Shippou lied, feeling clever yet not knowing what he was getting himself into.
"Well then, I guess we should just let them be, huh?" Koenma grinned, and led his wiife to the dance floor again. Botan seemed unnaturally giddy.
"Oh darling can you imagine? We'll finally have grandchildren! I wonder if they'l call me baba? Baba Botan!" She giggled and ranted on.
Shippou sighed.
"For my sake I hope Hiei and that girl are getting along."
-The weaponry room-
"YOU JACKASS, THAT WAS A DIRTY TRICK!" Sango shouted getting up after he had tripped her. The two had been going at it for a long time. Hiei snorted and waited for her to get back up.'This girl is unbelievabe' He thought to himself.'She didnt look the type to be this good but I guess you cant judge a book by it's cover. And shes so fiery too, I could do this all day.'
"Hn, your better than I thought, woman." He said, for once he seemed to be grinning instead of evilly smirking.
"I'll show you 'Better than i thought'!"
The second she was standing Sango planned to thrust her sword at him. Of course she didn't have much time to get her bearings so she flung herself into Hiei's not so welcoming arms so she wouldnt fall, incidentally tossing her sword aside. He wasnt prepared, and fell back with her atop him.
"Ungh...damn glass slippers.."
Both sat up slightly to see eachothers flushed faces.She was right on top of him.Unconsiously, both of thier faces started moving closer to eachother until...
The door suddenly swung open to reveal Shippou.
"Im back!" he yelled happily. He then looked to see the two in a...comprimising situation, gasped, then quickly left shutting the door quickly and loudly. Some boxes to the side fell, reavealing a door. Sango, blushing, sat up and ran to the door and opened it.
"It leads outside!" She cried happily. Hiei nodded and they walked out into the cool night air with her. Apparently it led to a rose garden. The same rose garden a red headed freind of his had planted a while ago. He turned to the girl beside him, and for teh first time actually looked at her. "Sh..shes beautiful.." He whispered to himself.
"Huh?"
"Nothing." He said, quickly turning away.
"Shippou is never gonna let me live this down.'He thought.
-End chapter!-
SSS:I hope no one wants to kill me for ending there, but youll just have to review and wait for the next chapter.
Anyways I've been haveing some thoughts about some pairings. Doese anyone else think JinxKagura is good? I just like that idea because their both wind demons, and as they say, opposites attract! ahh tell me what you like better. KaguraxJin or KaguraxSeshomarou? Think about it first though! Seshoumarou can be with Shizuru and miroku can be with Juri!woo!(by the way, if you havent already noticed i switched botan and shizuru's pairings up a bit.)
Kagura: So thats who asked me to dance! A red headed Irish guy...
Jin: IdontknowifIwanttobepairedwithascaryladylikethatmaybenotbutIguessredeyesarecoolandsheISawinddemontooyaknow.
Kagura: whoah there, take a breath.
SSS:yeah I'm actually starting to like that couple.
Kurama: And a if you couldn't tell it was my rose garden that Hiei and Sango are in!
Sango: Thanks for helping to set the romantic mood Kurama!
Hiei: hn.
SSS: Yeah but what if it was a vegetable garden.
Kurama: Well, i use a rose whip, not a cucumber.
-SSS Sango Hiei Kurama Jin Kagura imagine-
Kurama is faced with a horrid demon foe. He skillfully removes a cucumber from his hair.
"Go cucomber..whip..nah...CUCUMBER BASHING STICK!"-Whacks the demon over the head with it-
"Victory is mine! And its healthy too! eat your vegetables kids!"
-End of weird thoughts-
Kurama: that would be weird.
