Sure, I had ideas about
most of the authors who used our company to get their books on the market, but
this had to be the single most eccentric one. He looked like a freaky breed
between a man, a woman and a giraffe. He was around two metres tall, he dressed
very feminine in silk, flowy pants and a blouse with flowers on it. His eyes
were almost black and they announced something like ~ guess if I’m a good lover,
hnnnnn ~ His appearance did not match his voice. Because it was dark and manly
that even I shuddered a bit when I heard it.
-
Hello there my dear, so you are the one that will make sure
that my book gets out on the market ehh? said the man as his eyes sparkled. I
swore that I heard Sesshoumaru growl at the man and I hoped he wouldn’t do
anything.
-
Uhm, well, yes. I suppose. The name is Maria, I said and held
out my hand for him to shake.
But he didn’t take it,
instead he just grabbed my wrist and pulled me into a hug. Fuck, Sesshoumaru was
going to kill him for sure. My life flashed before my eyes, my life before going
to prison that is. But thank the Goddess, my puppy kept himself on a tight leash
and settled for a dark snarl. Now I just prayed for him not to change the colour
of his eyes, because if he did I would be in deep shit trying to explain it to
the others. When the man let me go I felt Sesshoumaru’s arm go around my waist
and he pulled me close to him.
-
The name is Ulf and I’m glad that I met you two. And your
boyfriend should not be so jealous, I’ve already found my life-mate. But he’s
home at the moment.
Was it just me or did
Sess stiffen up when he heard the word life-mate? I mentally shook my head and
let it go.
Once all the
introductions were made we continued on with a really flashy dinner. My boss
sure knew how to treat his guests to a royal good time. Three course meal with
the most exotic treats. And to drink we had wine. And as the time passed I could
feel my self relax a bit, the tension and fear for Sesshoumaru’s homicidal
behaviour dulled away, perhaps it was because of the wine, I’m not quite sure
about that. But as I studied the stoic demon, I could see that he was suited for
dinners like this. He could behave like a normal human being after all. I
snickered silently. I better not tell him that.
Later, the party of
fifteen people began to scatter and I found myself in the company of Sesshoumaru
and Ulf, the author. The man who was a mix of things was actually a very
pleasant person to be around. He was intelligent, funny, and nice and above all,
he was not on a high horse even if he had a few bestsellers and was a star in
the world of books. I could tell that Ulf was mighty impressed when they came
into the history of Japan; Sesshoumaru looked as if he was enjoying it too. They
talked and I listened while sipping on a glass of wine.
Yes, perhaps this was not
such a bad idea after all. Sesshoumaru behaved and acted normal, well as normal
as a fictional demon figure from a Japanese comic can act in the real world. But
not everything don’t go as you plan or expect. Although I had dreaded that he
would go into Kill-All-mode, he didn’t, but what happened was perhaps just as
bad.
One of the women in the
group of Asian people came up as we sat in the pub, sharing experiences and just
had a very nice time. She stood there, staring at Sesshoumaru. She looked as if
she wanted to say something but was afraid to do so. Ulf came to her rescue and
gently asked her what she wanted. Before any of us could say cheese, she began
to rant something it what I guess was Japanese. And in that rant I heard
Sesshoumaru’s name.
Sesshoumaru’s golden eyes
widened a bit and he looked at me as if he wanted me to do something. DO
WHAT??!! I had no idea what she had said or what he wanted me to do. I began
to feel a panic rose inside my chest.
-
She wants to know if I’m Sesshoumaru from the manga, he spoke
quietly into my ear. – What shall I tell her Maria-sama?
-
Ehhh??
Another rant in Japanese
and I knew that was going to have heart attack. I couldn’t deal with this. But
again, Ulf came to our rescue and told the woman that she had the wrong guy.
Goddess, he was one perceptive person. I exhaled when she disappeared but I
didn’t like the look in Ulf’s dark eyes. No, that looked like a real teasing
gleam.
~*~*~
Sesshoumaru had paled
when the female had began to ask him a lot of questions. She wanted to know if
he actually could be the role-model for Takahashi, Rumiko’s figure Sesshoumaru.
He looked a lot like him. And if he was could she get his autograph? Sesshoumaru
had no idea on how to react to that. He was painfully aware that he was a made
up character in a comic book, but did he had to be reminded of it? He looked at
his woman for answers on how to react to all this, but she looked just as
confused. The strange man, with the strange name Ulf, came to their rescue,
telling the woman that she had the wrong person. He was grateful for it, but at
the same time he began to suspect that the author had something else in mind and
it wouldn’t take long for the regal demon lord to hear the confirmation of it.
~*~*~
I had to fix me something
else to drink when I saw the mysterious grin on Ulf’s face. Ok, he was up to no
good, that I could tell. I asked Sesshoumaru if he wanted something and we all
asked for beer. Once we had been served Ulf began to speak.
-
So, tell me what this is all about… please?
I looked at Sesshoumaru
and he nodded. I wouldn’t have said mouse shit if he didn’t want me to, but now
I had his permission and I gave Ulf the whole story.
Twice during my story Ulf
ordered in something stronger to drink. I’m not sure if it was because he
actually believed me or if it was because my boss stood for the tab this night.
But once I was finished Ulf looked absolutely finished. I heard him curse low
and I smiled nervously. Ok, so I made a fool of my self and this guy was going
to put me out of work. He probably didn’t want a crazy maniac like me to handle
his precious books.
But I was wrong. Instead
he ended his rant with a –
-
Fucking WOW!! Man that is just incredible. So… you two are
not…. ? he asked and waved his hands towards both me and Sesshoumaru.
-
No, I answered.
-
So you are not his fiancée?
-
No, I answered again and sipped some of my beer that I
ordered in earlier.
-
Yes!
Ok, I almost choked on
the beer before turning my eyes to Sesshoumaru. What the hell was that? Ulf
began to laugh loud and I looked at the author as if he was crazy. I didn’t
understand shit!
-
Don’t worry Sesshoumaru-sama, you’ll get her in time,
smiled Ulf once he had stopped laughing. – But still, I’m looking at a person
that should not exist in this world at all? He’s all made up? Is that what you
are telling me Maria?
-
Ehh, yeah, something like that. We have no idea on how it
came to be, but since his memories are what they are and I can assure you that
he has better hearing than a human and his nose… well, just as good as any dog
you can find, I mumbled and felt my cheeks heat up. I remembered the episode
when he had ripped my bathroom door off its hinges and shouted that he could
smell blood.
-
This is just amazing. Truly amazing. I could never have
dreamt about such a thing when I came here tonight. But this is… fabulous. This
will be material for my next book about existentialism, on how things came to
be. Please, let me use you two for material?
-
No, came Sesshoumaru’s firm reply.
-
Why not?
-
This Sesshoumaru will not allow any human to exploit Maria-sama,
he said as his eyes turned into hardened amber.
-
Too bad, but I will ask the question if such a
thing can happen and I will give this some serious thoughts. This is something
that should be investigated.
But Ulf was silenced when
he saw the glass in Sesshoumaru’s hand turn into a small puddle of transparent
goo. I paled, my demon had used his strange power to melt glass. Although I was
happy it was just the glass, it could have been the author. Now that would have
been a hoot don’t you think?
Even though Ulf later on
promised he wouldn’t mention Sesshoumaru’s strange existent in this world, he
still looked as if he was contemplating the whole thing. And as the whole thing
neared its end, Ulf told us that he would help us out in trying to fix
Sesshoumaru some ID-papers. Now that was a surprise. I looked at the author with
a curious look in my eyes.
-
How? I asked him.
-
Well, let’s say that I have my ways, said Ulf and snickered a
bit. I didn’t doubt him, not after what happened tonight.
-
Thank you very much, said Sesshoumaru and bowed to Ulf. Ulf
smiled and bowed too.
-
Here, take my card. If there is anything you want help with,
don’t hesitate to call me. You have given me so much and… no, there are no words
on what you have given me tonight, said Ulf.
I just nodded, I had no
words for him, I just hugged him. Perhaps he could help us. If he could, that
would be worth all the gold in the world.
Twenty minutes later we
sat in a cab on our way home. I could feel Sesshoumaru look at me, but I didn’t
dare to look back at him. I was still confused about his answer earlier that
evening. He didn’t pretend to be my fiancée? His hand grabbed mine and I could
feel the warmth seep into my skin. Dangerous games this was. Very dangerous.
~*~*~
Once we came home I
walked into my living room and to my small bar. I wasn’t drunk enough. The
evening had been just crazy and I could feel myself getting nervous again. The
demon had a strange effect on me and I didn’t know how to handle it. Actually,
all I wanted to do was to giggle madly. I poured me a glass of peach liquor and
added some 7up, I gave the drink to Sesshoumaru first, but he didn’t want it.
‘Never mind.’ I thought and gulped it down. Yeah… it warmed all the way down
to my stomach. Perhaps it could cancel out that other feeling that was moving
around down there. You know those herds of mutated butterflies.
-
Maria-sama?
-
W-what? I stuttered when his dark voice throbbed through my
every nerve ending.
-
You are nervous about something.
-
No, shit Sherlock, I muttered as I began to mix me another
drink. But this time he stopped me and I could feel the anger boil inside me.
Anger and something else that I had no desire to explore at the moment. And do
be quiet you treacherous heart, I don’t listen to you… !!!!
But I couldn’t stop my
heart from beating. And now it was racing inside my chest. Curses, how could he
do this to me by just looking like that?
-
Maria-sama, why are you upset? He asked me and I just shook
my head.
-
I’m not upset; w-why do you think I’m upset?
-
This Sesshoumaru can smell your nervousness. Please tell me
what’s wrong, he asked me gently and I could feel my knees go weak. This was
just wrong.
I tried to get loose from
his hold, but he just held me tighter as he pulled me closer and soon I was
looking right into his broad black-clothed chest. Fuck, there was that
pine-smell that got to me every time it hit my nose. Why did my life have to
turn out so complicated in such a short time? Wasn’t this something that should
happen during a whole lifetime? Before I knew it I was moved to the sofa and I
was cradled like a baby against a warm wall of comfort. The soft vibrating sound
coming from Sesshoumaru was soothing and I was soon relaxing. Some trait he got
going there.
-
Maria-sama, this Sesshoumaru does not pretend. I never have.
-
B-but…
-
This Sesshoumaru will not force you into anything. But know
that I do not pretend. I’ll be here for you when you have settled with the
thought Maria-sama.
-
You are scary.
-
This Sesshoumaru are sorry if he brings you discomfort.
-
No, it’s not that… I…
-
Sleep now and then perhaps we can talk a bit more with
Ulf-san about those papers?
I nodded drowsily, but in
my mind I also made up a plan on going on another crystal-hunting. I needed the
peace it gave me. And I just had to find a way of making that trip alone,
without any disturbing dog demons.
~*~*~
Ok, short, but I
hope you'll like it..
Any Nordic readers will recognize the name Ulf - but for those who find it
utterly strange - it means Wolf.
Wolf - Varg (swedish) - Ulv - Ulf
Well, I'm not that
good with names... but that's roughly what it means.
Anyways... A word
or two about this freaky chapter will do me some good.
