Chapter 4: Ending the moment
Sango kept her eyes closed as they danced. She was so relaxed, so calm. It felt wonderful. She had no clue that in the next few minutes it would be midnight, and she would have to leave before the spell wore off because apparently she had been blessed with an unbelievably cheap fairy godfather.
Hiei suddenly stopped and looked into her eyes, comepletely caught up in the moment.
"Tell me, what is your name?" he whispered. Their eyes sparkled and she began to speak, still in his arms.
"My name is...OH CRAP ITS 11:59!" He winced in suprise and looked at the clock tower looming in the distance.
"So it is." He said wondering what she yelled for. She broke away from him hastily and began a fast pace through the garden twords the town. He quickly ran after her. How could he just let her get away? He was stubborn, he wanted to know her name.
Up ahead Sango was running as fast as she could. 'He could never catch me now! I have a really good chance of getting out of this without suddenly looking like a creepy peasant to him!' She almost slowed down when she looked behind her. He was chasing her! And at an alarming speed too!'How doese he run that fast? Oh God I'm in trouble!' He was close enough to reach her now. She, doing the first thing that came to her mind, suddenly reached down, took off her slipper, and promptly threw it at his face. She hit her target right on. He reeled back and fell. With a victorious smile she continued to run.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR WENCH?" He yelled as she dissapeared. He removed the slipper from his face and groaned. That hurt! Really freakin' bad too! He clutched the slipper in his hand. It was delicate and beautiful. It really didn't go with her red outfit though. Its a wonder how she pulled it off.
He continued to ponder the mysterious girl's horrid sense of shoe fashion as he began to stand up.
"I suppose she's long gone now." He said to himself dissapointedly."I wonder if I'll ever see her again. She was in such a hurry." He stopped and realization dawned on him."Did I scare her off? Could it be she was horrified by my disgustingly out of character fluffiness that she ran in horror?"He growled and shook his head.
"I can't believe I almost thought I loved her.I must be loosing it." He began to walk more swifly, until he, once again in his uncharactaristic way, tripped and fell. As he did so he smashed the slipper beneath him. He stood up amazed that it didn't cut him, then looked at the dissfigured shoe in a heap of pieces on the ground.
"Great, now she's gonna hate me even more because I killed her shoe." He picked up the pieces and walked off again.
-At the ball-
Kanna had just said goodbye to her new freind, Kohaku. He was nice and very smart for a servent. She'd never met anyone like him before. After a while he had to go back to the kitchen, and she was left alone again. Although she was pretty with her long white hair and dull, though mysteriously attractive eyes, she was still far too young to mingle with the older people. Actually, she wondered why she couldn't have stayed home. 'Oh yeah,' she thought'Then I'd have to hang around Sango.' It wasn't that she hated Sango, she just didn't prefer her company. Sango was expressive and outgoing. She liked to talk and "hang out" but Kanna did not. Kagura spoke but did so little around her. She was much closer to Kagura.
As she reminised she looked around slowly. Where was Kagura anyways? She noted her father, still speaking with the red haired lady, whom he had earlier introduced to be Ms. Mukuro, Dutchess of Somefancyfarawaycountry. She smiled as he seemed to be happy with her. Her father was a bit rough around the edges, but when you got to know him he could actually be the kind of father who tucked his children into bed and read them fairytales. He only acted that way with herself though. Around others he had to maintain a strong buissness like attitude, and Kagura had distanced herself from him thouroghly over the years.
Speaking of her sister, she was walking in right now, and on the arm of some unknown fellow with striking red hair. She looked so happy. They parted ways saying something softly to eachother and Kagura walked over smiling brightly.
"Oh Kanna, I just met the most stangely intruiging person and he even works in the castle!" She smiled.Kanna only nodded, expressionlesly, but Kagura knew she was happy for her.Suddenly Kagura took her hand and led her away.
"I think father won't mind if we leave a little bit early, don't you think?"
Kanna nodded then looked up at her sister curiously.
"Oh Kanna, its no big deal, I have to have a little talk with Sango. And you didn't seem to be enjoying yourself mucch anyways." Kanna wondered what Kagura could have been up to but shrugged it off and let herself be led away. Kagura smiled at Narraku as they left. He rolled his eyes and shook his head. Now there was no chance of her marrying the prince.
-Near the village-
Sango panted and fell to her knees. Her dress had effectivly turned back into rags but somehow she was still wearing one of the glass slippers and it was horribly painful. She tried to get it off but it wouldn't work.
"Oh heck I'll take care of it later!" She gave an exasperated sigh,then realized something. "The forest didn't look the way it did a second ago! Why am I standing on a yellow road?" as she pondered this a horrible noise entered her line of thought. It sounded remotly like singing, but something so horrible couldn't be. Beyond the noise now she heard footsteps.'Someones coming! It might be Hiei! I gotta get out of here!' She looked around desperatly and attempted to dive into the bushes as whoever was coming began to appear. Once again, her seemingly clever plan failed. She fell flat on her stomache in the middle of the road. She didn't dare look up.
As she lay, the sound became clearer. It was singing! But bad singing, very bad singing...
"We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of..Inuyasha your singing too loud! Its throwing us all off!"
"Well maybe if he didn't sound so much like a dying cat I would sing quieter!"
"Miroku, tell him to quit making fun of my voice!"
"Don't worry Kuwabara, you're voice is very special."
"Yeah special as in special e-"
"That is disrespectful!"
"Yeah just like when you touch girls-"
"Excuse me?" Sango said, and they finally noticed her. Someone suddenly gasped and rushed to her side and helped her to her feet. She wobbled a bit and looked at the newcomers. The one who had helped her up had dark hair in a small pony tail in the back and wore old farmer clothing. His face was practicly hidden by his straw hat. Of the two behind him one had long white hair and a metal suit. He looked angry to say the least.The last was an extreemly tall fellow wtih orange-red hair and a badly made lion suit.
"Ah!", said the first one,"how could I have not spotted such a lovely lady!" He took both her hands in his. "May I ask you a question fair maiden?" "uhm...sure.." "Will you bear my- KLONK! The white haired man hit him on the head.
"Ignore him. My names Inuyasha, the tin man, Thats Miroku, the scarecrow, and thats Kuwabara, the cowardly lion."
"IM NOT A COWARD!"
"Ahh, I'm Sango, nice to meet you all." Sango said smiling slightly. They were a bit strange but they seemed to be genuine guys. Miroku smiled a little too happily.
"No no my lady, it is my honer!" He attemted to kiss her hand but she jumped away. NO one had done that to her before and she hadn't a clue what in the world he was doing. He laughed at her suprise and she blushed.
"So,uh, what are you guys doing here?"
"Were off to see the wizard."
"The wonderful wizard of Oz!"
"No we're not Inuyasha!."
"Since when Miroku?"
"Well since Dorothy left. Now we're here for another reason."
"And that reason would be..?"
"Umm guys, was there a memo about this or somthing? I'm lost.."
"Kuwabara! We made this desicion weeks ago!"
"Hey, we've only been here a day!"
"Excuse me you three, I'm lost too, what are you talking about?"
Miroku jumped and remembered she was there. Inuyasha and Kuwabara looked too.
"Well lady Sango-"
"Just Sango."
"So your not a lady?"
"JUST continue your story!"...blush.."I am a lady!"
"Well, Sango we were on a quest to get a heart, a brain, some courage, and help a lovely lady named Dorothy back to Kansas, but she ran off one day saying we were all idiots and she wouldn't travel with us if we were the last guys on earth. It was rather embarrasing."
"I wonder what in the world could have made her say that." Sango said obliviously.
"Yes, so how did you get here fair lady? Its not every day someone like you gets caught up in the land of Shnoz."
"Shnoz!"
"Yes, its sort of a branch of the land of Oz but its far more insane than there."
"How did I get here?" She gasped, trying to recall anyway she could have mysteriously walked into a whole other land.
"So, is there any way back?"
"Errr, well.."
"We've been trying to get home for a while now."
Sango stared for a moment, realized they weren't lying, and then dropped to her knees in defeat.
"I think I'm getting a headache..."
-At the fancy shmancy castle-
Hiei had returned to his home silently. He had dropped the remains of the glass slipper somewhere in the castle, idly hoping that sooner or later Yusuke would step on it and bleed to death. He was certainly in a foul, foul mood. He'd had foul moods before, oh, so foul that if you looked him in the eye it meant almost certain death, but this! This was just worse. He was angry at Sango for running away, he was angry at himself for acting so strange, he was angry at his parents for just happening to be king and queen so he HAD to get married, and he was angry at the glass slipper for being broken, although that was his fault anyway.
As he walkied through the large royal hallway he heard his parents speaking quietly in a nearby room. Immediatly he found the door and pressed his ear to it as quickly and silently as he could. He could distinguish his parents voices perfectly although there was one other unrecognizable voice.
"Miss Shizuru, thankyou so much for coming! You really didn't have too!" Hiei could tell that was his mother, Botan.
"No problem, were freinds right? Oh do I have some news for you!" From what he could tell now that was Shizuru. He knew her! She was that witch girl who lived in that wierd Oz place! What could she be here for?
"Shizuru, please tell us,were getting anxious!" That had to be Koenma.
"Well, word is my cowardly little brother Kazuma and his freinds actually know where your long lost daughter is!"
"Yukina!" Botan shrieked happily.
"Well, why don't you go find that brother of yours!" Koenma said loudly.
"We don't know where the hell he is though. He dissapeared a little while ago."
Hiei didn't bother to listen to the rest of the conversation. Yukina! Shes alive! He decided not to wait until morning, he'd sneak out and find this Kazuma and then save Yukina! His little sister! And maybe on the way he could look for that girl! Too bad he crushed the slipper. They could have done that whole cinderella thing.
He ran to his room and began to pack his things.
