I walked down the halls slowly, prepared for the worst. Why do I have to skip lunch? I'll be so hungry! I sighed. Maybe I could sneak a snack..? I stopped at the kitchen and strolled on in. "Lady Sango, hi! Is there something I can help you with?"
"Huh? Oh! You're the head chef, umm..."
"Kazuo. My name is Kazuo." He smiled nicely. "Is there something I can get you?" He asked.
"Yes! Thank you! I was wondering if I could get a snack to pack while I was training."
He thought. "Oh...I'm sorry, Lord Sesshomaru ordered that I cannot give you anything. I'm terribly sorry!"
"No, it's okay! It's not your fault, I mean you do have to follow your boss's orders, right? Well, I was hoping that he didn't get to you yet, but I guess he did. Oh well. Thank you anyway!" He smiled. "You're very polite and considerate. I respect you for that." His smile was sweet and caring. I liked him. His hair was a light brown that went just passed his ears and was a tad bit wavy. And his beautiful green eyes...So deep and loving. I blushed.
"Thank you very much, Kazuo-sama." I said, bowing as respectfully as I could.
He nodded. "I hope I can see you again soon." I agreed and ran off, hoping not to be late for my training.
I got to the training grounds and saw Sesshomaru, sitting on a tree a branch, his back against the trunk, and his fingers laced over his stomach. His were eyes closed.
"Hey!" I called. One of his eyes slit open a little bit, the goldenness glimmering. "So, you're finally here." He said lazily. "How did you like Kazuo?"
I gasped. "How did you know?"
He smirked. "I have my ways." He jumped down gracefully and grabbed my arm. "Hey! What are you doing?" He didn't answer. He just stared into my eyes then pushed me away. "What was that for?" He shook his head. "Forget it. Now train." He ordered.
"What am I supposed to do?"
"Hit me."
"What?"
"You heard me." He said, sneering. "Hit me and your training will be over for the day." I beamed. "That's too easy!"
"Oh, yeah? Go ahead and give it a try then." I smiled, knowing- or thinking, more like, that this task would be the easiest of all...
"Ugh! How are you moving so damn fast!" I yelled up at Sesshomaru who was now standing on a tree branch way up high. He was almost grinning in pure amusement to see me in agony down below. "Damn you! I WILL get you!"
"Prove it." He said, just before he took off. "Damn it!" I muttered. "Where the hell did he go this time?" I ran off, looking around for him. No luck at all... "Where the hell would he have gone off to?" Suddenly, I felt arms wrap around me from behind. Gasping, I struggled to get free, failing miserably.
"Do you ever even consider looking behind you to see where your enemy has gone?" I heard Sesshomaru whisper into my ear. "Sesshomaru, you jerk! Let go of me!" My shout soon became a shudder as he nuzzled my neck.
"What the hell are you doing?" I screamed. No response came. I suddenly became infuriated. Steaming, I jerked out of his hold, quickly turned to him, and punched him square in the face. A genuine look of shock overtook his face as he wiped the blood from his mouth. "My training is over for the day." I snarled as I walked off.
Rin giggled as I told her the story of what happened. "That's so unlike him!" She said, smiling. "I think he's taken a LIKING to you!" She said, winking. "Rin!" I gasped, looking around to see if anyone heard. "I really doubt that! I think he is trying to tease me!" We were sitting under a wise old tree near a meadow where the flowers bowed down to the gentle breeze. "Aw, Sango, Sesshomaru-sama doesn't do that. I guess you already know that he's not the type for games and such." Rin was right... "Besides, he doesn't do that to every girl that comes to the palace. You guys look cute together!"
I closed my eyes and shook my head. "Rin, you know that's silly..." I leaned back against the tree trunk, missing the mischievous grin on Rin's face. "I think it makes perfect sense.." She sniggered. I couldn't help but chuckle at how childish Rin sounded. "To think he likes me...You must be mad, Rin.." Rin snickered. "Nope... I'm just not stupid enough not to know when Sesshomaru-sama has taken a fondness of someone" She muttered. I opened my eyes. "What was that!" "Um..N-nothing.." Rin stammered. "I thought so..." I said, closing my eyes again.
Dinner that night was silent. Sesshomaru sat at the head of the long table and Rin was near him. I sat away from both of them, eating silently. "So, how was your day, Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked. She was the first one who had spoken. "It was very interesting." He looked over at me and I immediately looked down at my food, just to avoid his glare. I heard Rin stifle a giggle.
"Well, I'm finished with my food. May I be excused?" Rin stood up, looking over at Sesshomaru for his approval. He nodded and she left. Almost right away, I started feeling awkward being alone with Sesshomaru.
"May I also be excused?" I said, trying to escape his gaze. "Very well." He muttered. I quickly stood up and rushed out, bumping into Rin the instant I ran out of the dining room. "Sango!"
"What?" I asked, looking at the disappointment on her face. "You were supposed to stay so you two could have have some alone time and maybe make out!" She gasped and covered her mouth. I gaped at her. "Rin! You... You devious girl! What a plan...! I don't believe what you were trying to do! You know I feel awkward around him because of what happened! I don't like him! Besides... Even if I did love him... I know he'd never love me back..." Rin sighed. "Aw, Sango, I'm sorry..." I shook my head. "Whatever, it doesn't matter. I know...or I'm pretty sure you had good intentions.." Rin smiled. "Sango, let's go outside. The sun is going to set soon. It's beautiful site with the sunset flowers in view." I nodded.
We went outside not knowing that Sesshomaru had heard the whole conversation.
Well...Chapter six is complete...Was it any good..? I hope so. Please review!
