"What do you want?" I said as I staggered a little. I had a gash on
my forehead, and side, I sprained my ankle and broke my wrist.
"You dead" he said and came at me again. I fought back, and ended up
knocking him unconscious. I looked around and realized Shori and
Sanog were still in the car. I rushed back to the drivers side of
the car, I checked Shori, she was still breathing. I pulled her from
the car ignoring my own injuries. I whispered to Sesshomaru "honey we were
in an accident, I need your help." I could not keep contact long, I
was losing strength. I bent back into the car to check Sango, she
was breathing and awake. I helped her out of the car. I moved my
friends a good distance away from the car in case it exploded. I
went back to get all of our clothes, when I grabbed the last bag,
someone grabbed my arm. I could see the refection in the trunks
paint job, and it was Onigumo. I kicked him in the gut, punched him hard
in the temple. Just then a truck screeched to a stop I looked up at
the driver. Sesshomaru rushed to my side, he wrapped his arms around me
and held on tight.
"Are you alright?" he asked as he looked me over.
"I saved the clothes" I said, I giggled a little then fainted. I
woke a few hours later, I looked around me and my family was
surrounding the bed.
"What happened?" I asked sitting up.
"You were in a car accident. Don't you remember?" Sesshomaru said as he
looked concerned.
"Yeah, what happened after that?" I asked staring at Shori then back
at Sesshomaru.
"Well honey, you saved Shori and Sango. You protected yourself and
your friends. After you fainted the car exploded, Onigumo was killed by
the blast. Don't worry your clothes are safe." Sesshomaru said smiling at
me.
"Yeah, they won't be safe from you, if I'm wearing them" I said
laughing, as the rest of my family joined in.
"You saved your friends before saving yourself I'm proud of you" dad
said
"Is everyone ok though?" I asked looking up at Shori, she nodded and
smiled.
"Sango is fine, Bankotsu healed you guys when we arrived. Everyone
will still be able to dance the night away tonight" Sesshomaru said, as I
remember my dress.
"Don't worry I hid your dresses, he has not seen them." Shori said
smiling. I sighed, but I could not sit still, I looked at the clock
and realized we had two hours left til the dance started.
"Shori" was all I said before she grabbed my hand and dragged me to
her room where we got ready. Shori brushed my hair, we had decided to
leave mine loose and free. I started to brush Shori's hair, I curled
her hair and put it up in a bun. Shori put a little bit of makeup on
me, then a little on herself. We both have natural beauty so we
didn't wear a lot of makeup if we wore any at all. We both slipped
our dresses on, and put our shoes on. Shori grabbed my arm as she
tried to walk in her new shoes.
"How do you walk in these stupid things?" she asked as I reached for
the door.
"Practice I guess, my mom use to make me walk around the house with
shoes like this and even bigger ones, just to get me ready for this
day." I said laughing at the memory. "Well its time to go" I said
looking at her. I shook my head and rushed to my room, and back to
Shori before Sesshomaru could see me. "Here, they look exactly like those
but these heels are shorter and easier to walk in." I said taking
off her shoes and replacing them with the ones I brought back from
my room. "Ok, let's go" I said smiling as Shori walked with grace down
the stairs.
"Wow, you look great" Sesshomaru said as I stepped off the last stair.
"Thank you so do you. You look great in a tux." I said as everyone
started laughing.
"What?" I said dad walked towards me and hugged me.
"You look like an angel, sweetheart. Where are you putting your
dagger/staff?" dad said as he looked at my dress closer.
"Sesshomaru was making a special thigh belt for it." I said as Sesshomaru moved
to the living room and back. My dress had two slits up the sides of
the dress to my thighs. Sesshomaru brushed part of my dress aside, so he
could strap the belt to my thigh, but I jumped when he touched the
inside of my thigh. Sesshomaru stood back up, we walked to the limo parked
outside as we piled in. Koga and Bankotsu had to pick up their own
dates, so it was just Shori, Shippo, Sesshomaru, and me in the limo.
"You are happy tonight" Sesshomaru said and I giggled.
"I'm excited this is the first dance I've been to" I said, I caught
a glance at Shori who was smiling with me.
"Shori I'm sorry about your car" I said, she just smiled at me.
"Don't worry about it Rylie, you protected us, and your safe. Plus I
have great insurance the new car will arrive in three days so don't
worry so much." She said smiling at me.
"Why does it feel like everyone is hiding something from me?" I
asked staring at Sesshomaru who was avoiding eye contact with me. "Sesshomaru" I
growled.
