Pairing: Elsa x Sesshomaru
Chapter 2: Potatoes
Elsa:
The last couple of days have been beyond hectic, no down right crazy. The day the Council of Advisers finally told me of my arrangement, Anna also got engaged. So now everyone is buzzing around cleaning the palace making everything literally sparkle. While Anna is planning her wedding like a maniac, in fact you would think she would be a commander of a battalion. On top of everything I have to meet…my...future...I was getting sick just thinking about it. There has to be a way out of this, a loophole that nobody saw.
Anna is blissfully unaware of my arranged marriage, too caught up in her wedding planner. All I told her is that a very important foreign Lord is coming to stay at the palace in a couple of days. I don't want her to know, especially since she's finally getting everything she's ever wanted. I wouldn't tarnish her fun with my problems. Besides I'm going to call off the engagement with him anyway, no use worrying my sister over nothing.
Yes. Absolutely nothing.
I smiled at my resolve, I was in one of the many hallways of the palace, the east wing where our guests will be staying. I don't know how long they'll be here, but I hope it's no more than a week at best.
I was arranging beautiful Christmas Roses in a vase, these were one of my favorite flowers.
My thoughts were wandering, I would get through this, I would be courteous to my guests but under no circumstances will I-
Ba-dump.
I gasped dropping some of the roses from my left hand. I clutched the spot over my heart.
That pulse, it felt odd.
Ba-dump.
I backed away from the vase, still clutching the handful of dress material. This feeling...it feels...like...my heart…
Like someone was holding it.
Looking around myself frantically like I'd find the answers to all of my questions, I backed against the nearest wall.
The lone Christmas Rose I held in my hands was starting to freeze over. Dropping it, I heard it thump on the ground.
I knew without looking in a mirror that my face had paled into shock. I was losing control of my powers?
Already the ice on the rose was beginning to melt off and seep into the expensive carpet. Trying to calm down my racing heart, I did some of the breathing techniques Papa had long ago taught me to do in these situations. Surprisingly the chilly wind that was starting to flow around me was slowing down. It stopped.
In…
Out…
I opened my closed eyes. It's okay, everything is fine.
Gathering my composure I went to the nearest hallway mirror, I started to give myself a pep talk while I rebraided my messed up hair.
As I calmed my panicked and frazzled self I couldn't help but feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up erect.
Wha-?!
My body stiffened.
Something was touching me.
I gazed up into the mirror slowly…
"HI ELSA!"
"AHH!" I shrieked, my right hand pressing over my heart, Olaf's stick hand holding my dress.
"AHHHHHH WHY ARE WE SCREAMING!?" Olaf shouted. The happy snowman looked around, his flurry turning into a blizzard for a brief second.
I breathed in and out heavily.
"Sorry...Olaf, you just scared me that's all…"
"Oh...Sorry!"
I was being silly again, who else would be here but the royal family?
Turning my attention back to Olaf, my curiosity took over.
"Did you need something Olaf?"
Olaf who was gazing at the half melted flower on the floor, he snapped his attention back up to me. He blinked owlishly, for a second it seemed like he forgot his purpose.
"Oh right! Commander Anna needs you...said something about…a potato."
"A potato?"
I was so confused, what did Anna need with a potato?
"Yup!" Still confused, I decided to go with it.
"Alright thank you Olaf." Olaf was about to happily waddle away before I stopped him.
"Oh and Olaf?"
"~Yeeeeeeees?~" He said in a sing song voice.
"Could you get someone to clean up this mess?"
"Sure thing!" He said with a salute. I saluted back, then laughed to myself. I loved Olaf, he brought a lot of joy to this household.
I knocked on Anna's door, "Hey...Anna? Did you need something?" I had this feeling that there weren't going to be any potatoes…
Next thing I knew Anna threw open the door, she had a frazzled look about her.
"Elsa! Thank GOODNESS!"
"Um...yes?"
"One of the Guards has spotted an odd ship! When did you say the Taisho's were coming?!"
Taisho's…Potatoes…
Oh Olaf, leave it to him to confuse foreign names with vegetables.
Then it struck me…
The mystery man was almost here, a cold sweat began to brim on my brow.
I followed Anna into her room towards her window. Anna's window has the perfect view of the docks.
In the distance I could definitely see a strange boat. I gulped.
After the council men had told me of my engagement, I had spent a number of days researching in the library. I had researched about Japan, but found that we didn't know much about their culture. Furthermore, they say that they keep to themselves and aren't very open with western culture.
To say the least, I was even more confused about this man, but also very curious. How did my parents even meet him? Is he going to be very old? Why didn't he come four months ago? These questions swirled around my brain every day. And now that I'm actually watching a strange eastern ship dock in my port, it brought a whole new sense of reality to this situation.
What kind of person am I going to be meeting?
I left Anna's side in a hurry, calling to attention my maids and guards.
I called out a flurry of orders, preparing to receive our guest with open arms. I hope this Taisho guy didn't bring his whole family. It would be horrible to call off the engagement if his mother or father was right there…
"Your Majesty, the ship has docked." A nearby guard announced. I took in a shaky breath, then squared my shoulders.
This is it.
Side Note: Okay to clear things up some, I looked up on Google to see what time period Frozen took place, (roughly, it is a fairytale…) and Historians believe it takes place between 1840s-1850s...So I'm just going to split that and make it 1845. As for Japan...it was still very seclusive and didn't accept western culture that much. (Don't quote me on that….) In fact as I was reading online about Japan in that time period I heard that people weren't even allowed to leave! (Once again don't quote me...I'm just an ignorant American :p)
SO since Sesshomaru is traveling very very far….It has to be for a good reason right? (Oh and not because he's a super powerful demon and does whatever the heck he wants...wait a minute, he does. Crap!) So if you get annoyed by those facts….it will be explained in due time...
