Brave Knight, Sir Momiji

The brave knight, Sir Momiji along with Haru the wise, Lord Yuki and a peasant by the name of Kyo embark on an epic quest to save the Princess from the clutches of Eval King Akito.

Hope you enjoy!

And please note that I spelt Eval that way on purpose, keheh, I just like that spelling better.

---------------------------

It was a fine, sunny day and all was peaceful throughout the land when…

'No way! Lady Tohru has been kidnapped?' Lord Yuki was startled at the news and immediately sat up. 'Where did you get this information from?'

'I am Haru the wise and I know all… that and the kidnapper kept boasting about it…'

'Who did it? Who committed this terrible crime?' Lord Yuki queried.

'It was none other than…dun dun duuuun! The Eval King Akito!'

Yuki gasped. 'He didn't!'

'He did,' Haru corrected.

'Well then,' Yuki said, getting up off his chair, 'We must go and find her!'

'All by ourselves Lord Yuki?'

'Of course not! We shall hire the greatest swordsman in the kingdom!' he exclaimed.

'Never fear, the brave Sir Momiji is here!'

Yuki and Haru both spun around to see the large silhouette framed by the door. Light emanated from behind him in a very clichéd kind of way. They both stood in stunned silence at the mystery figure until he walked up to them and realized…

'You're only a school kid,' Haru commented.

'I am Sir Momiji and when I heard of the terrible deed done by the Eval King Akito, I rushed here in search of your aid!'

'Well then,' said Yuki, heading towards the door, 'what are we waiting for?'

'Yeah!' shouted Momiji and ran off ahead.

Haru and Yuki exchanged glances. 'Well it's not like I could have stopped him,' he said.

On a quest for Lady Tohru, Sir Momiji embarked
The route to the castle not clearly marked
Yuki and Haru coming along
And that is how I shall begin this song

'Huh? Who's singing that?' Yuki asked, as they walked through the village.

The figure tagging along behind them gasped. 'Ah! Was that inappropriate? Did you not require traveling music for this journey? Ah, gomen! Gomen nasai! Please heavens, punish me for my wrong doing!'

And with that, Ritsu ran off with Haru shrugging his shoulders.

Momiji paused and put a finger to his lips… 'But he was right, we don't know the way to Eval King Akito's castle.'

'Point well taken,' said Yuki thoughtfully and, as immersed in thought as he was, he walked right into a ceramic pot of stew that was sitting outside a house. The pot smashed which left the contents strewn across the ground. A thumping could be heard from inside the house and a second later, the door burst open.

'Oi! Look what you did to my dinner, not to mention my ceramic pot!' The irritated, orange haired resident of the house yelled.

'Well why would you leave a ceramic pot out on the street? Are you some kind of idiot?' Yuki replied.

'Why you...! It was out to cool!' Kyo yelled back. 'It's boiling hot in here, and I'm no idiot!' he added.

'Doesn't seem that way to me.' Yuki stated.

Kyo's hair bristled. 'Damn you, you stupid rat! I'm going to make you pay for that!'

'What?' Yuki asked, 'it's not my fault you're stupid.'

Kyo ran at Yuki, ready to strike…

…And a second later he was on the ground with a nice bruise ready to form.

------------------------------

'Hmmm,' Haru began, 'the wise one says we should get a map.'

'Ooooooh! That's a great idea!' Sir Momiji squealed. 'Then we can find out where Eval King Akito's castle is and save Lady Tohru!'

Behind them Kyo was mumbling something incomprehensible, but Yuki was sure he had heard the word 'stupid' amongst it.

'No one told you to come along you idiotic cat,' he said clearly.

'Hey! You were the one who broke my pot! I'm not letting you off that easily; I want payback!' Kyo said, shuffling along behind the company.

'I know!' bounced Momiji, his mind still set on locating the castle. 'We can probably find a map at the scrollery!'

'Good idea, Momiji' Yuki said, taking his mind off their new companion. (I'm no companion! Kyo yells at the narrator) 'Does anyone know where the scrollery is?'

Haru walked around in a little circle and eventually pointed north. 'I think it's this way.'

'Great,' said Momiji, 'so that means the scrollery is south?' He was getting used to Haru's sense on direction. 'Let's go!'

And thus the peasant joined the group
To seek revenge for being duped
To the scrollery they headed
So they could find the king they dreaded

'HEY!' yelled Kyo, 'I was not duped! And what the hell is with that? Group and duped don't even rhyme!'

Yuki sighed. Momiji kept laughing at Ritsu who was now running in circles with his mandolin yelling 'Gomen nasai' to whoever would listen, and Haru was wondering why they were heading south as opposed to north.

And thus they headed for the scrollery…

PS: Ummm, reading back on it, Yuki does seem a bit out of character at the start, my apologies, I just had to get this story started. I won't do it again, I promise!
