Beauty Meets Beast

Sugar0o: Yeah, I'm pretty much making this up as I go. And I thought it would be a nice touch to insert the original movie in the story.

Chapter 8: Misjudge of a Character

Sango groaned as she returned to the world of the living. “Wha…where am I?” She looked around, trying to discern where she was, growing frantic when she couldn't find anything to help her.

“Good, you're awake,” came a deep voice from the corner of the room.

“Who are you,” she shouted, struggling against the chains binding her to the bed. “What do you want from me?”

“Silence, wench!”

Sango turned in the direction of the second voice, trying to locate something, anything that would help her. “What do you wan*SMACK!*”

“I said shut your face whore! Bad enough we have to smell you, we don't need the headaches your screeching voice cause!” Sango squinted in the darkness, her eyes starting to adjust to the dim light that was coming in through the cracks in the door. She could faintly see the outline of her two captors. The one who hit her reared his hand back again and she cowered away from him, attempting to move further towards the wall to lessen the blow she knew was coming. When it didn't, she looked up to see the other man had gotten up from his seat next to the wall and grasped the other's arm.

“Now now Dorei, that's no way to speak to our guest.”

“Of course sir,”

“Now Kagome,” said the first voice, that Sango realized must be the leader. He kneeled in front of her and she could have sworn she heard the other chuckle. “Why don't you tell us where your darling boyfriend is?”

“You have got to be kidding me.”

“Come on, it's not that bad.”

“No, not going to happen.”

“Oh come on, it's just a little roller coaster!”

“This is a little rollowhatever?”

Kagome laughed at his obvious confusion. They'd been at the fair for a little under an hour and so far…they had done absolutely nothing. He refused to do anything she suggested. She was determined though, even if they had to stay here all night, she was going to get him to do something, anything! “Come on, it'll be fun.”

“No,”

“Look, you have to get on.”

“And why is that?”

“That.” Kagome pointed to the sky, where the sun was almost at the horizon. “Do you really want to transform out where everyone can see you?”

“No,”

“Ok then, this is the best solution.” He looked skeptical and she sighed. “Look, everyone is going to be too busy enjoying the ride to notice you. So really, it is the best option.”

“Oh very well,”

Kagome smiled, inwardly laughing with glee at her victory, and led him over to the semi-short line for the coaster. When they reached the front, Kagome quickly slid into the last compartment so that there would be no chance of someone seeing Sesshoumaru. She motioned for him to follow her, waiting till he was seated next to her before pulling the bar tight.

“Oh, I meant to warn you,” Kagome said as the coaster began its slow climb up the first hill, “it can be a little bumpy at times, but it shouldn't get too bad.” She watched his face as they began to descend, laughing at his expression. He looked shocked and he didn't seem to be able to cover his shock behind his classic mask. She watched him a moment longer until the thrill of the ride caught her and made her forget about the world around her.

Sesshoumaru was beyond shocked. This was unlike anything he'd experienced in his entire life. It was like flying without leaving your seat. About halfway through the ride he felt the unmistakable changes take place as he shifted. He sighed as his senses dulled, thinking his fun was over. When the change seemed to intensify it instead, he didn't know what to think. He could no longer sense what the track ahead of him looked like and it thrilled him. Now he truly felt like he was flying without having any control. He closed his eyes and discovered that it produced an equally trilling feeling. He could hear Kagome's shouts of joy as the coaster screamed over the tracks. And then it was over, and Kagome was telling him to get up.

“So,” she said as the climbed down the stairs of the station to the sea of people below, “what did you think?”

“This Sesshoumaru thinks it was an acceptable distraction for the change.”

“Oh, you're no fun! Come on! Let's go on another ride!” She giggled and dragged him off towards the ferris wheel, completely oblivious to her observers.

“Was that Kagome?” Eri said, pointing off in the direction the young time traveling miko had gone. “She looked so different.”

Ayumi turned to look at where Eri was pointing, and squinted so she could see Kagome clearer. “I think it is. Who is that with her?”

“I don't know, but he was HOT!”

“Come on,” Yuka said, eager to see what, or more specifically who, they were talking about. “Let's follow her!”

A.N. Alrighty, here is the next chapter. Actually it was a lot longer, but I decided to cut it in half because I don't have time to type it all right now. The other half should be up within the week.
