Chapter thirteen: A Very Disturbed Dinner
Yasha and Inuyasha walked back in silence.
Both were deep in thought, I love them, but do they love me's were the only thought to cross their minds.
Dinner was quiet, because of the possible war threat food was beginning to be rationed, but that still didn't answer for the vast quantities of extraordinary food. There were fruits, vegetables, ale, roast meat, almonds, wine and bread. You really wouldn't think a war was threatening their entire lifestyle.
There was a faint clamber of a knife hitting one of the silver goblets and Yasha looked up to see Inuyasha's father, Lord Takeo stand up and smile at all the noblemen and women sitting around him.
"I am pleased to announce. . ." he began in his friendly, clear, booming voice, his cheeks slightly rosy at the liquor, "that in three days from now, our kingdom will be holding a ball"
Everyone clapped and whispered amongst each other, the women already planning on what to wear, some of the single men looking around at any woman that they had their hearts set on.
Out of the corner of her eye, Yasha saw Miroku whisper something to Sango who turned pink and sipped her wine, hiding her face behind the large goblet. The king pleased with the reaction continued, "This is a ball to celebrate the engagement between my oldest son, Sesshomaru and the lovely Kagura from the Kendo district"
Sesshomaru smiled faintly whilst Kagura fanned herself lightly all the while clasping each others hand, whilst everyone clapped and cheered, Yasha beamed and turned to her left, "That's fantastic news!" she whispered excitedly to Inuyasha who clapped politely, pursing his lips in annoyance."You won't be saying that after the next bit" he whispered back, sipping his ale, gripping the goblet tightly. Yasha raised an eyebrow in question but was answered soon enough. She was taking a drink of her water and almost sprayed it across the room when she heard this, "I'm also pleased to announce that my youngest son, Inuyasha, and the beautiful Yasha are looking for possible suitors, this ball will be the perfect place, and who knows maybe you could be the lucky one in who they choose" The Lord chuckled as he glanced over at Inuyasha who sat there looking like whoever spoke to him next wouldn't live another day, as Yasha did the same.Yasha pushed her chair out and Inuyasha's hand flew out and held her wrist, "Where are you going?" he growled.
Yasha snatched her hand away, "I don't feel to well, I'm going to my chamber" she hissed.
She smiled and bowed, politely saying goodbye to the people around her, she
stepped lightly out of her place and placed her hands on the large, heavy and beautifully carved oak door to push it open but found she fell forwards when the same door was opened on the other side.
Squeaking she fell forwards only to fall into the arms of someone strong. She glanced up, a blush staining her cheeks and large cerulean blue eyes staring in awe at her savior.
A pair of large strong arms had encircled around her waist holding her tightly, and the man's blue eyes stared into hers, his long black hair pulled away from his face.
"I. . .I'm sorry" Yasha began, apologizing for her clumsiness but before she could say another thing, Inuyasha had appeared behind her and grabbed her out of the intruders arms, pulling her tightly to his side."Who the hell are you?" he growled, holding Yasha tightly to his side, his sword at the man's throat who stared at him levelly.
Yasha stared intently at the man, Inuyasha's men had gathered around, pointing their spears at the intruder, and as she looked out of the corner of her eye she saw them threatening the strange man, who grinned at her and bowed slightly, showing his respect.
Yasha waved off the gaurds and easily broke free of Inuyasha. Yasha walked closer to the intruder and stared deep into his eyes, just as she had done to Inuyasha at the auction. Suddenly, Yasha, no longer entranced, smiled brightly and the man smiled the same way. She stepped forward into the man's arms and he eagerly accepted her. Inuyasha, however stood there with his mouth agape, looking like a real dummy.
"Inuyasha." she snapped, "It's not polite to stare." He felt like screaming.
"Where have you been all this time? I've been worried out of my mind." Koga whispered softly in her ear.
"I know, I'm sorry." Yasha whispered back.
"Do you mind telling me who this is!" Inuyasha snarled angrily at her.
"Inuyasha! Mind your manners you, you...jerk!" she snarled back at him. "I was hoping Koga would've had a more fitting introduction, but you've already ruined that!"
Koga smiled half-heartedly, "Nope, she hasn't changed a bit."
Inuyasha had finally done it, he had finally made her so angry at him, that she just snapped. She couldn't control her temper anymore. Not only that, but she had NEVER yelled at Inuyasha. Yasha was so upset, that a small tear trickled down her cheek. Luckily, only Koga and Inuyasha saw it, the only two people to have ever seen her cry.
Now Inuyasha felt horrible, he and Koga both knew it took a lot to make her cry.
sorry it's so short. Well, lemme know if you still think it's good.
