"Lady where are you going at this time of hour, is snowing outside if you don't cover yourself you'll catch a cold" she looked fatigue as if she had run all the way just to tell me those words. I can't blame her she has been my caretaker since I was a child.

"I am going to the temple, it would only take me awhile" I smiled at her warmly and ignored her warnings. I just needed sometime alone.

Is been so long since it last snowed here in Kyoto. It makes you realize how wonderful nature really is, the street were fully cover with the glitter white snow, is just so beautiful so pure until it hit's the ground but with so many layers is still pure. I walk slowly down the street taking in the fresh cold air in the morning, closing my eyes I imagined myself flooding on a cloud. Without warning I had bumped into a drunken man who apparently wasn't in a good mood. He yanked my arm hard I heard my bones crack for a moment. His face wasn't far from mine until he drop me forcefully to the ground.

" Lucky here if it isn't the Princess who's going to be wedded to the infamous Kyoshiro Mibu" he said stumbling over trying to maintain his balance. I stared at him harshly.

" You know I should make you pay for what Kyoshiro did to me, see this patch here he was the one who cut my left eyes giving me a hideous scar" he laughed amused thinking at the possibilities he would make his revenge through me.

" If he did such a thing to you he must have had his reasons" My responded seem to have angered him because he rose his hand up high and slap me across the face.

" Shut up, you are in no position to speak to me that way" I rubbed my check slowly, still steering at this awful man. He then grinned the same as the devil, it would seems he already knows what he'll do. I wanted to stand up but he put his weight on me. Even If I wanted to scream I couldn't he already put one of his hand over my mouth, I felt like crying but I won't let this men get the best of me. All I could do was to kick him as hard as I could. Then with his free hand he took a knife out of his pocket, gently he moved the knife through my throat pressing it hard. He laughed malevolently , he moved his face near my ear where he whispered.

" To bad you'll die before your wedding day, but let this be your wedding gift I would make it quick so you won't suffer much" his hand once again rose to the air, then it began to come down with speed but in my mind I saw it in slow motion. Laying down in the ground I close my eyes, thinking the worst but before it made contact with my flesh I felt some kind of liquid over me it must be my own blood. I opened my eyelids to find the drunken men laying dead against me. When the view became clear I saw another men with blue eyes, his hair which was black only reach above his shoulder. He stared at me and gave me a warm smile while offering his hand, in the sense of politeness I took it.

" You should know better than to go outside without protection" I knew better is true but for once, I wanted peace not to be fallowed because I am the princess or to be killed because of I am the fiancée of Kyoshiro Mibu. I guess that would never happen in my life.

" If you'll like I can accompany you to the temple" he ask with another smile he looks like a person who has no worries whatsoever yet his eyes look lonely.

" Why would I go to any place with a stranger such as yourself"

" Is simple really I just saved your life and besides I am your new bodyguard Sanada Yukimura at your service Lady Sakuya" I stared at him in disbelief this man standing right before me my bodyguard.
