Chapter 2
Clueless
It had been two days since I had brought Sherry back to her mansion. Her old slave tried to assist me when I carried her into the building, but as usual I snapped back saying that I could do it myself.
I had cleaned the blonde's wounds with a cloth that I had found. Hopefully the old man wouldn't mind all the blood stains on the rag… Oh well. I needed it. Besides, he could just go buy a new one, couldn't he?
Frowning, I looked down at my bookkeeper's face, which was blank due to her unconscious state. The flesh here hadn't been damaged too badly… except for one spot right on her forehead. There was a large bruise forming right there… I wonder what caused it.
Her breathing was slow… But at least she was still breathing and alive, thank Kami.
Sherry still hadn't woken up from her sleeping state. I wondered how long it would take her to awake from this coma. She needed to awake and heal because if she didn't, I wouldn't be able to win the crown!
Currently I was sitting on the edge of the human's bed, staring down at her face. How could she have been so hurt? It's preposterous! Sherry should have been able to defend herself quite easily or at least get back to me on time if there was a fight.
Taking my right hand, I brushed away a bit of hair from the blonde's face and then wrapped it around my legs like my left hand. I stayed like this for a little while before I decided it was time to go find some food… It was around twelve thirty in the afternoon and I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday morning…
-o-o-o-o-o-
I was walking back from the forest after eating some fish I found out near a river. So of course, I killed it, ate it, threw away the bones, and now I was heading back to check on Sherry. Damn, how often would I do this?
Now I was on the grounds again, walking up the pathway to the door. When I reached it I opened it up without knocking and walked right in. This place had become somewhat like my home now… So I could just barge on in whenever I wanted, right? Well it didn't matter whether I was granted permission to do it or not. I had the capability to do so, and no human could stop me, so why not?
The old man was off in the kitchen doing something, probably cleaning, again. I merely ignored this and waltzed on by. What was the big need of cleaning? It practically took forever to clean this entire mansion! What was the point? There were more important things to do than clean. Like taking care of Sherry…
After climbing the steps and heading to the blonde's room, I opened the door and stared at the bed, my eyes locked on it.
Sherry was gone.
What the hell? Now what? Her little slave couldn't possibly carry her off, so where was her current location?
My eyes suddenly averted over to the side, where I saw a shadow behind me. Quickly I spun around and grabbed the arm of the person, pulling them out to where I could see them.
I finally realized who it was when they looked up at me with sparkling sapphire eyes.
"Sherry?"
I was relieved. So she was alright… great, now all we needed to do is make sure that she is one hundred percent healed and ready for training as soon as—
"Who the hell are you?"
Eyes widening, I stared at the blonde with a blank look. "What?"
"I asked, 'who the hell are you?'" She jerked her hand from my grip which only made me stare even harder. "Next time you're gonna barge in and wake me up, why don't you—"
"Sherry, what are you talking about? Of course you know me!" This was irritating. Why was she suddenly playing mind games with me? Idiotic ningen…
But her eyes, however, had no recollection of me whatsoever when I stared into them. People say that looking into one's eyes is like looking into their soul; and I certainly didn't see any recognition of me at all.
So… this was for real?
"You really don't know me?"
"Of course not!" she snapped. Her eyes were lit up, full of anger and voice full of strength. "I remember every person that I've met! I don't need anybody to help me!"
Suddenly her eyes changed and she looked down at the ground. When she spoke, her voice became much softer – almost timid-like, which didn't suit her.
"But… the thing is I don't remember anybody. Not even myself."
I knew my mouth went agape as she said this. "Sherry," I spoke, "Stop playing mind games and get back to your senses, woman! We've known each other for months now!"
My sudden outburst made her wince and shrink onto the ground with… fear?
"Stop being so mean!" she said, tears beginning to roll down her eyes.
Oh please… where'd she learn to act so dramatic?
"I didn't do anything to you," she said, now getting more upset. "I was just here, asleep, and then I woke up only to find you here! Why are you here! You don't look human, get out!"
I clenched my teeth together with annoyance. I couldn't help it when my arm snatched hers as I jerked her forward, my face close to hers as I began to speak sharply. "Reason being Sherry, is that I'm not human. You should know that! I'm a demon from the Mamodo World come here to fight in this world and you are to make me king!"
After this proclamation I slammed the human onto the ground. She immediately began bawling like I had never seen her do before. It was so… childish.
"You're such an ass hole!" she cried, pointing a finger at me. "I don't want to listen to you! GET OUT!"
"NO!" I roared. "You have no choice in the matter, get over it!"
"But I don't want to!" she said as she continued crying.
Instead of releasing more of my anger on her, I merely sighed. I didn't want to risk hurting her any further and losing my chance for king once and for all. Besides, I didn't really like seeing her crying into hysterics. It didn't suit her; this crying didn't suit her. This childlike attitude didn't suit her!
"Can't you just be nicer to me?" asked Sherry as she looked up at me with those deep blue eyes.
Again, I sighed, and placed my right hand over my eyes. "Alright… alright. Sherry, I'll be nicer to you—" I hated that word, "—as long as you don't go crying like you've been doing for the past minute."
If I were to ever anticipate her next action, I sure as hell wouldn't expect this. She jumped up, squealed, and gave me a hug. A HUG!
"Oh, thank you!" she said, now laughing. Laughing…? What was with this girl today? "I shall not cry nor shall I lie! I shall be happy and never sappy!"
My brow was twitching, that was evident. "Just… shut up!" I pushed her off of me. OK, new number one rule: NEVER hug me.
After I pushed her off of me tears began to collect at the bottom of Sherry's eyes. "Oh… I'm sorry; I didn't mean to do that…" Taking her hands, she buried her face in them. I merely rolled my eyes.
Great… now I have to deal with an overemotional human… one that was already overemotional but has now became even more so!
Sherry then turned around and began to walk towards the door. I watched her with a crimson glare as she then stopped, turned around, and looked at me innocently.
"Can you help me find my way around? I'm lost."
"Can this wait?"
"… No…"
I sighed again. I cared for Sherry, but this was insane. How the hell did she lose her memories like she just did? Did it have something to do with her being so maimed and that large bruise on her forehead?
After all we've been through already, she remembers nothing! How could she!
This was going to be a long day…
Yeah... lil' humor in this chapter if you even find this funny. Like i said before, this can/might be a mix of romance/angst/humor. Yep...
ANYWAY, onto what th HORRIBLE BAD NEWS IS! OK, for those who have read my other story 'A Gift from the Dark' know that i had a false update one day. Well, for those that read it, ever wonder what the false info was? Well, i had put up on there that Brago and Sherry wouldn't appear January 28, 2006 like i counted out they should, all because CN would be showing a batman movie last Saturday blocking out the new episode causing Brago and Sherry to be delayed even furhter.
So i wrote that in the chapter i updated and then posted it up, but THEN i went ahead to check something again and ended up thinking that that was wrong information, so i had to delete the updated chapter and re-update it again later. WELL, turns out that all that information WAS correct. BRAGO AND SHERRY WON'T APPEAR THE DAY I COUNTED OUT THEY SHOULD ALL BECAUSE OF THAT BATMAN MOVIE THAT AIRED LAST SATURDAY! IT BLOCKED THE NEW EPISODE, which you know has now delayed Brago and Sherry. :-(
Yeah... so i'm upset about that. And my information WAS correct! Grr... Now we'll probably have to wait til February 'til they reappear. (mentally crying)
Yep... that's what happened. (sigh) Well, anyway... I also found out (this is not bad news) that Furigaro (whom appears in the 3rd manga) also appears in the anime! For those who read my one-shot 'Just a Little Worry' will know who he is or if they've read the 3rd manga. I just went on a website and found out that he appears... AND it's the scene where he's fighting with Brago and Sherry! (grins) I wonder if Brago's arm gets cut off in that scene? Ah well. Guess we'll have to wait til episode 51, 'cause that's when he appears! NOW IF ONLY THEY'D HAVE THEM APPEAR AGAIN SOON SO WE CAN SEE IT!
OK, i'm done with my ranting about those two. XD Now on to my reviewers!
