Chapter 13: Renkotsu's Dream
Renkotsu had a dream of when he first fell in love with Sango that night.
It all started with Jakotsu and his foolish childlike acts. During the night, Jakotsu had secretly replaced Renkotsu's fire breath stuff with sake. Little did he know, Renkotsu had a mission the next day?
Renkotsu had taken off early to destroy a village, so Jakotsu didn't get a chance to tell him about the sake.
Warriors surrounded Renkotsu. He smirked; knowing that he could finish them off with is fire breath.
He took a huge sip, and made a face at the bitter taste. But he didn't have time to think about that. He spat the fire breath, but gasped when he realized that instead of spitting fire, he spat sake all over the warriors!
They were not to impressed about that. Spears and arrows were fired at him. He was able to dodge most of them, but he was struck by a few in the shoulder.
Renkotsu fell to the ground in pain. He knew he was done for. He closed his eyes and waited, but his death did not come.
His eyes shot open when he heard cries of pain from the warriors. Something was spinning in the air, slashing all of the warriors. It took him a moment to realize it was the Hiraikotsu.
After all of the men had been killed, Renkotsu saw some feet step in front of him. He looked down to see Sango staring down at him.
She giggled when she saw the bottle with sake spilling out of it. "Just look what you've gotten yourself into!" she said as she helped him to his feet.
Renkotsu just stared there. He didn't know what to say. There was a really strange feeling inside of him, a feeling he didn't like.
'I-I'm fine!" he snapped at her. "I don't need your help!" But when he tried to take a step, he stumbled to the ground.
"Oh, really?" she asked him. She roughly grabbed his arm and yanked him to his feet. "Quit being so stubborn!" she snapped.
"Ow!" he cried clutching his shoulder. "Watch it will ya?" he grunted. Truthfully, he needed all the help he could get, but he dared not say so.
After a while, Sango's tight grip loosened on his arm, but she still held it firmly to keep him on his feet. "Are you doing OK?" she asked.
"I told you, I'm fine!" Renkotsu mumbled. But deep down he was grateful. If Sango hadn't shown up when she did, he would be dead.
Renkotsu suddenly felt uncomfortable with her holding his arm like that. He knew she was just doing it to hold him up, but it still felt weird. He caught her eye for a moment and quickly looked away. Never before had he noticed how pretty she was.
He suddenly realized it, his feeling for her. He became angry with himself, falling in love with a woman like that. He knew it happened to everyone, but why her of all people?
Then he noticed that Sango seemed a little different. She was getting dimmer, like her color was fading. No, she was fading! Renkotsu reached his hand out, but it went right through her! Before he could do anything else, she completely disappeared, along with everything else around him.
He was surrounded by darkness. There were faint voices and cries of pain all around him. His heart stopped when he heard Sango shriek, and it echoed in his head a few times.
Suddenly, his eyes shot open. The scream wasn't just in his dream, it was real!
Renkotsu dove out of bed and ran down the hall to Sango's room. He opened the door, but Sango was gone. Everything and shattered all over. He could tell there had been a struggle in here. There was blood in her bed and on the floor.
He checked everyone else's room, but it was the same thing in each room.
He started to go outside, but was stopped in his tracks by many sharp pains in his back. He turned around to see some warriors walking towards him. They dragged him outside and threw him out in the snow. Renkotsu caught one last glimpse of the others, laying on the ground unconscious before he himself was knocked out.
HAHA! RENKOTSU IS SUCH A LOSER! I feel bad for Sango to be in that situation! I mean really, WHO WOULD FALL IN LOVE WITH BALD MAN- i mean Renkotsu? LOL R&R PLEASE!
