Hey my fellow beloved readers! I am deeply sorry to have made you wait for so long, it is simply that my stupid computer stubbornly refused to work for me. Enjoy the story! R&R!
Kagura heard a howl. She slowly opened her eyes; there she saw an amber-eyed youkai with silver locks and a strange roll of fur standing between her and the wolf demon- Sesshoumaru. The wolf demon was howling in pain.
"Are you alright?" A similar looking demon asked her, coming from behind her.
"Um…yeah," Kagura stuttered, having no idea who her rescuer is. Then another howl came from the wolf, he was getting ready to attack. He spat out a huge gang of wolves. Disgusting.
The wolves posed a leaping position and from a roar from their leader, the pounced on to Sesshoumaru. Without a slight of fear, Sesshoumaru formed light whip on his right hand. (He has both hands.) With a spin, not only did he defend himself but killed his enemies as well.
Kagura stood there with her mouth open, stunned. He didn't even use any effort! Behind her, the Lord chuckled at her expression. Kagura snapped out of her thoughts and looked embarrassed.
"That was hardly anything at all, he can do times better." He laughed. "Well, you are probably wondering who we are, are you not?"
STARE
"I'm Taisho, Lord of the West, that is my elder son Sesshoumaru."
Whoa… replay. That guy is her fiancé? Wait—Western Lord…. Her princess senses got back to her, and she bowed slightly and muttered 'my lord'. But the lord simply laughed and told her not to use formalities.
They turned their heads as a howl escaped the giant wolf. Boy, was he mad, no, more like on steam! He stood on all four and became twice as big as he was before.
"That is not good." Kagura found herself saying. But Sesshoumaru stood there with the same calm face like nothing has happened.
He doesn't stand a chance against any demon that big. Kagura thought.
To her amazement, Sesshoumaru sliced the enormous demon in half in a movement that Kagura didn't even see.
As Sesshoumaru turned around, Kagura greeted him, attempting to be nice. "Hello Sesshoumaru-kun and thank you for saving me." She muttered.
Much to her surprise, this was all he said:
"Can we leave now?" in his normal monotone. And he wasn't even talking to her!
"Nice to meet you too, ice-cube." Kagura glower under her breath as they started to leave, dignified.
The Lord hearing this chuckled. Kagura covered her mouth in embarrassment, he had heard. The Lord slowed his pace and whispered "He's like this, don't mind him. Perhaps you can change him somehow later on."
Change him? Somehow, no matter how much Kagura tries, she can't imagine herself succeed in doing that.
All the way back as they walked, neither three offered any word to each other.
Boy, was mother ever right! He is as cold as ice. Kagura though, remembering their encounter.
Even so, she couldn't keep her thoughts off him. He's handsome and strong, Kagura noted.
She shook her head. She tried to push away the tingling feeling that flushed over her since she saw him.
No, Kagura thought, there's no way on Earth am I falling in love with that good for nothing jerk. I don't even know him!
Apparently, as many of you could guess, she's having one of those love-at-first-sight kinds of thing. And also, apparently, she was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice that the castle was in sight
Nor did she see the tree in front of her.
"Ouch!" she fell on the ground. Her head was spinning like crazy. She groaned.
Not far from them, there was a green toad-like creature that no one noticed-Jaken. And he happens to see everything that just occurred.
This is so embarrassing. Kagura thought as she stood up.
Jaken slowly made his way to Sesshoumaru. And the comment didn't escape Kagura's ears. "Sesshoumaru-sama, I think that the woman is mentally challenged."
Oh boy, that was way over the line for Kagura.
Kagura walked over with clutched fists.
"Stupid toad!!" Kagura kicked Jaken sideways, causing him to keel over. But unfortunately for Jaken, she's not yet done. She then stomped Jaken as hard as she could possibly manage on the head. Jaken lay on the ground unconscious (face it, who would be conscious after that?), having a possible concussion.
Sesshoumaru smirked. "And I think she heard you."
"Oh, Kagura! I am so glad to see you!" Came her mother's voice as soon as they stepped inside the castle.
Great, Kagura thought grimly, I'll never hear the end of this one. "I am glad to see you too mother."
"Oh, I am just glad that you're okay!" Kagura's mother said, hugging her close. Then dropped her voice to talk to Kagura privately. "Don't do that again, okay? I know that you're upset, but give him a chance. Promise?"
"Yes, mother." Kagura said.
So much for my plans, Kagura thought. Oh, wait; let me rephrase that, plans.
Kagura stepped out of her warm bath and threw on a clean kimono, dropping on her bed, she thought about her little 'trip'.
Sesshoumaru and his father had left right after a short discussion about the war.
She lay on her bed, totally pooped. The stars and moon was blazing tonight, Kagura thought. She turned on her side and sighed. My life is going to be total chaos, oh, wait; it already is a total chaos. War, engagement to an ice cube, oh the joy. This cannot be any worse.
She drifted to sleep without any idea how mistaken she was.
