Chapter ten: Sango?
Inuyasha Knocked Once and Waited Outside in the Cool Corridors, Shivering Slightly with the Draft.
No One Answered So He Knocked Again, and When He Got No Answer He Opened the Door Quietly and Peered Inside." Yasha? " He Asked, Looking Around in the Dark He Couldn't See Anything.
Inuyasha Strode Forward and Joined Her on the Balcony, " Whadda Ya Doin'? "
Yasha Went on Watching the Guards Move Around Without Saying a Word.
Inuyasha Leant His Back over the Rail, "You Okay?"
Yasha Looked at Him Briefly, " Yes, Why Wouldn't I Be? " She Asked Quietly, as If in a Daze.
" Inuyasha " He Turned to Face Her, "Hmm?"
" I Was Wondering . . ." Yasha Began as She Fumbled with a Button on Her Shirt, "I Was Wondering I If I Could Speak with Your Mother or Father to Tell Them the Truth..."
Inuyasha Smirked, " You Did Tell Them the Truth. "
Yasha Frowned at Him, " Not Entirely. "
Inuyasha Shrugged, " it Will Do for Now, We'll Tell Them If the Need Arises. "
Yasha Nodded Slowly and Began to Pace the Balcony, " but What If They Think of Treason? Because I Didn't Tell Them about It? "
Inuyasha Thought for a Moment, " Then I'll Tell Them, They'll Believe Me."
Yasha Bit Her Lip, "What If Your Not Here?"
Inuyasha Stared at Her, " Where Else Would I Be? "
Yasha Shrugged and Picked a Flower of the Jasmine Vine Growing Around the Railing, " You Could Be of at a War, or Married, or Fighting with Me. "
Inuyasha Chuckled, " Stop Thinking about it and Don't Worry If the Situation Occurs, I Order You. "
Yasha Punched Him Playfully in the Chest, " Yes Master. "
Inuyasha Took the Flower from Her Hand and Tucked it Gently in Her Hair, "I'll See You in the Morning. "
Yasha Nodded, "Goodnight Then. "
Inuyasha Smirked and Strode out of the Room, and Opened the Large Door, " Night " He Said Quietly Before Closing the Door Behind Him. Yasha Stood Still for a Moment Watching the Door, Half Wishing That He Would Walk Right Back In, Half Wishing That She Had the Nerve to Follow Him.She Sighed as She Looked Around the Room, the Moonlight Shined on the Four Posted Mahogany Bed with the Beautiful White Brocade Curtains, the Grey Stone Walls Were Decorated with a Couple Tapestries and Candle Frames, and a Lovely Warm Embroidered Rug Decorated the Stone Floor, Providing Some Warmth into the Freezing Room.
Over in the Corner Was a Dressing Room, Made out of a Tapestry Screen and a Large Heavy Mahogany Cupboard, a Fireplace Was Between That and a Small Dressing Table with Little Ornaments Covering the Top of It.
She Walked over to One of the Candle Frames and Took out a Long Skinny Stick, Opening the Door to the Hallway She Looked Around and Saw a Couple of Guards down the End, She Scampered over to a Lit Candle and Held the Stick into it Before it Came Alight.
Walking Quickly Back into Her Room and Closing the Door Gently She Went Around Lighting the Small Candles Around the Walls. Feeling Calmer Already, She Walked over to the Fireplace and Laid out Some Logs and Torn Linen and Lit That Too, Watching as the Small Flame Engulfed the Linen and Started to Lick at the Wood.
Yasha Watched the Fire for Sometime Before Breaking out of Her Trance and Deciding to Go Get Changed into Her Nightgown. Going Through the Small Pack She Eventually Found It; She Smiled and Walked over to the Dressing Room to Get Undressed.
A Sharp Knock at the Door Made Her Jump and She Tripped over the Nightgown and Fall to the Floor. She Quickly Gathered up the Simple, Red, Silken Gown So That She Was Covered, but it Hung All over Her Awkwardly and She Looked a Mess. Then Walked Quickly over to the Door and Opened it Gracefully. She Looked on in Uncertainty at the Young Woman Standing There, Holding at Square Linen Cloth Bag, " Lady Yasha? " the Girl Questioned.
Yasha Nodded, " Yes, How May I Help You? "
The Woman Smiled, " I've Been Sent by Lady Takio with a Gift for You. "
Yasha Stared at the Bundle and Then to the Woman, " Come in Then. " She Half Said, Half Whispered, Feeling Quite Breathless.
The Woman Nodded and Stepped In, " Lord Inuyasha Came Forward with a Request to His Mother, These Are the Items You Required. "
Yasha Walked over to the Bundle and Gently Undid the Knot and Pulled the Material Away to Reveal a Stack of Clothes. Yasha Looked at the Woman, " What Do I Have to Do with These? "
The Woman Laughed, " Why, They're for You My Lady, Lord Inuyasha Came Forward Saying That You Had Lost Your Clothing When You Were Attacked. "
Yasha Formed an 'O' with Her Mouth, "Is That So?" She Said Warmly.The Woman Nodded, "There Are Five Day Dresses There, Three Nightgowns, Two Chamber Jackets, Five Pairs of Shoes, Eight Undergarments and Two Boned Corsets"
Yasha Nearly Fell Over, "Tell My Lady, Thank You Very Much"
the Woman Nodded, "Miss? Are You Alright?"
Yasha Nodded Quickly, "Yes, Why Wouldn't I Be?"
The Woman Smiled, "You Look a Little, out of Place."
Yasha Grinned, "Ah, Yes, That Would Be Because I Tripped and Tumbled While Putting this on in My Rush to Get to the Door Quickly." Yasha Smiled.
The Two Walked over to the Bed and Sat Down, " So, May I Ask Your Name? " Yasha Asked, Beginning to Tie the Small Ribbons up Her Back.
The Woman Answered, "Yes, My Name Is Sango"
"That's a Pretty Name," Yasha Whispered.
Sango Smiled, "Thank You Very Much"
There Was Silence for a Moment as Yasha Finished.
"wait, Sango...Hmmm, Ah! Sango! Whatever Did Happen to Miroku?" Yasha Asked Strangely.
"is it Really You? I Thought You'd Never Make it out of There Alive! " Sango Said All in One Breath, Sounding Quite Relieved. The Girls Hugged and a Tear or Two Fell.
" I Didn't Either ." Yasha Whispered.
The Two Pulled Back, " I Thought You Were the One with So Much Faith, That You Were Unbreakable? " Sango Smirked.
" I Was. "
" I Missed You So Much! I– Oh-no! I'm Sorry We'll Have to Talk Later, I Have an Urgent Matter to Attend To. " Sango Said Quickly.
" That's Alright, You Go Do That Thing You Have to Do. We Can Talk Tomorrow I Suppose. I Guess, Good Night Then Sango. " Yasha Smiled.
Sango Bowed Slightly, "I Will Notify Someone to Be Your Chamber Maid"yasha Blushed, "Thank You, I'm Not Really Used to the Heavy and Complicated Gowns"Sango Grinned, " Well, Nice to See You Again. Good Night Yasha. " and with That, Walked out of the Room.
Once Again Yasha Was by Herself, So She Walked out on to the Balcony and Looked up at the Jasmine Vine near Her Knee, She Smiled Slightly and Touched the Flower Gently That Was Still Resting in Her Hair.
Listening to the Nights Noises She Heard One That Was Not Natural She Looked down onto the Terrace Beneath Her and Saw a White Haired Man Talking to a Hardly Dressed Woman. Yasha Squinted in the Dark and Watched as the Two Embraced in a Romantic Hug and Kissed Each Other on the Lips.
Inuyasha?
She Looked Closer and Saw, No it Wasn't Inuyasha but His Older Brother Sesshomaru and His Courting Partner Kagura.
Yasha Stared down on Him Intently, Remembering the Fun That the Three of Them Had Shared When They Were Small. Then Sesshomaru Caught Her, Gazed up at Her on Her Balcony, Just Catching the Jasmine Resting in Her Hair and the Scent of Inuyasha. Interesting...
