so off we are...

It's really intriguing how the torment of a life can change so bruskely from a second to another.So quick, so fast , yet it is almost painful. Somehow, naturally, the situation remains...what shall we say... ah yes, impish.Impish to a certain point,well ya ,it must be or the whole..."thing"sounds quite..Odd or deviant or if you want to ,"queer"where the concerned scratches his head from confusion or flushes from vex.Oh yes,believe me:when someone stays in ignorance after many tempting tries to understand , he loses control and becomes vexed.It's all a matter of time...oh, talking about time,I've been thinking about it and I concluded we should aknowledge that sometimes, time can really prove itself prodigiously full of inoccurable surprises. You never know...BUT, yes there MUST be a but, time can also turn the tables around and prodige becomes catastrophe where the concerned does not feel abashed or vexed but truly socked.Yes,socked.And not just simply socked; socked really,really far where you're unreachable. There are no other words for unreachable.
Yet, it was like that that Ichigo felt when she was sitting in a cage on a cart pulled by two chimera animals, her hands and her feet cuffed with heavy chains.She felt socked.Devastatingly socked. And the thing is , it did'nt go smooth and slow like she had imagined , but brusque and fast until her situation turned into an uncomparable fiasco. She grunted as the cart passed on a harsh surface. There are a few things no one could escape ,and those are:love, death, and time. NEVER underestimate time no matter what happens and I guess you all understood that the fact that Ichigo was sitting on the cart was due to a huge underestimation? And that was perhaps the biggest mistake she'd ever done.
It's useless to regret after something is done. What is done is done; although I know it always leaves behind it a bruise. A bruise to remember that time can't be controlled. Ichigo never actually BELIEVED she could control time, but hoped to. Hoped that time could turn the tables in her favor. But arrgh...she was greatly mistaken. And now there she was; sitting at the far corner of the cage, head lowered and chained.
A snapping sound, however made her flinch. She slowly looked up from her accused position and noticed that the cart had stopped . A man approched. He was tall and slightly plump, wearing a black cloak with a hood over his head, making only his gleaming yellow eyes visible. He pulled out a small silver whiste and blowed hard. Ichigo moved slowly , making the chains around her ankles rustle.
A few seconds passed and nothing happened. Ichigo returned to her previous position ,sighing secretly. Then she heard. The sound. It was loud and distant, becoming clear by the second. A few cyniclones were racing down a hill on horselike chimera animals ,heading their ways.
When they had finally arrived , a man got off his horse and looked from the soldiers to Ichigo to the man cloaked in black furiously.
"Is this it?" He hissed to the man infront of him , nodging his head towards Ichigo's cage.
"Yes, this is the leader." The man hissed back. The other one smirked triumphantly and gazed at Ichigo ,showing yellow dirty teeth.
Ichigo just responded with a look of disgust. The silver cloaked man looked back at his partner.
"Perfect, he said , wetting his lips, bring it to the castle. The kings orders." he said while climbing on his..horse.
The other one nodded and made sign for the others to move on. Ichigo sat back while the cart moved upwards. They kept moving through forests camouflaged in the darkness of the night.
Ichigo moved from the corner of the cage to the middle, aware that the vines might injure her back.
They past half an hour moving ,blinded with darkness. Ichigo hugged her knees as she pondered what was going to happen to her. God , she was so screwed up!!!! Nothing could be worse. Maybe half the earth must be destroyed by now and it was all her fault. If she had been more careful ,none of this would have happened. Yes she had been warned , Yes she had underestimated her opponents too much, Yes she could have been more serious. But was she? She always considered Kishu and his mates annoying pests but never had she thought that one they will succeed at the top of the ladder by becoming her most dangerous enemmies.
She let out a low sad whimper that came out in a purr, catching many's soldiers attention. Ichigo looked up desperately. Hell what was she going to do?
"Careful!!!" yelled a voice that made Ichigo jump. She tried to stand up. They were approching a huge metal bridge across a creek. Ichigo recoiled on the ground while the cart made it's way on bumpy surface.
When they finally crossed it , a huge door opened , revealing bunches of armed soldiers holding torches.
"SLOWLY EVERYONE!!!" barked the black cloaked man as some soldiers lifted Ichigo's cage to put it on the ground.
Ichigo looked vainly around her. All dressed in black and starring curiously at her.
"Get it out." The men opened the cage and dragged Ichigo and her chains out.
"Take her to the court." was the last order. Ichigo frowned at the men dragging her all the way to the castle.
When they had arrived at the entrance, two other cyniclones stopped them and ordered them to check if Ichigo wasn't carrying anything.
Ichigo debated herself as she felt all those hands over her. When they had finished, they seized her by the arms and dragged her all the way to the royal court...
Ichigo was thrown on the floor at the King's feet. As the room got quieter, she dared to look up. She was in a grand pale blue room , with portraits of elegant past queens and kings. Lords and ladies were looking at her, backing away. Urgent whispers were heard all around the court. Ichigo scrambled to her feet, supporting the heavy chains danggling. The king was standing too, arms folded arrogantly and a triumphant smirk spread on his face.
Ichigo bowed in respect , "YOur majesty!" she gasped, causing more surprised urgent whispers around her.
The king stood in astonishment. He gave a quick impressed look at his wife sitting next to him.She only responded with an expressionless face.
The king looked around him and spotted what he wanted to. He made a gesture with his finger to approch. Another cyniclone came out of the colorful crowds, holding a trumpet. The King sat down and whispered something urgent in the ear of the cyniclone who kept nodding and nodding.
While the private chatter continued, Ichigo looked around her more pricesely. Beautiful lady cyniclones and their husbands kept starring and pointing at Ichigo like a wild animal in a zoo.
Ichigo bowed respectfully at them but it only increased their curiousity.
When the king and his assistant had finally finished their chatter, the assistant stood up and blowed a tune in his trumpet, announcing a welcomed arrival.
Everybody's eyes darted towards the huge crystal doors as they burst open. Ichigo's eyes got huge. There was standing Kishu ,Pai and Taruto , all dressed perfectly. The crowd around them cheered and clapped.
Ichigo never saw Kishu so happy in all the months fighting with him. Not even the time he kissed her. As the three of them approched the king, the queen snapped her fingers at two maidens at her side. Both nodded and hurried through the crowd.
"Ha ha!!!! The king greeted, opening his arms in a welcome manner.
"Give a high applause for our three heroes!" The crowd roared again as kishu ,pai and Taruto beamed at each other.
"You have proven yourself able and full of courage and bravery. You have saved the world that belonged to us from scourn and infamous creatures that reffered to us as aliens. You have made the biggest change in all history."
"With all my respect , my Lord." said kishu, on his knees. "We've never been so much honored in all our life and I'm truly touched." Ichigo remained stunned. She never ever saw Kishu talk so gracefully. The king chuckled apolegitically. "You dignify your family, children. And you dignify yourselves more by bringing the leader of our opponents." Everybody's head snapped towards Ichigo who flushed.
"With all my respect your highness, I considered my duty to bring the leader of our adverssarys back to our place-" "And you were right!!!This journey must have been tiring enough. And ..- he said with a huge malicious smile spread on his face- I know the perfect way to cheer you up."
The two maidens that the queen had sent earlier came back with three gorgeous women. "They're yours." said the King. Pai and Taruto's jaws dropped but Kishu looked doubtfully at the black haired and gray eyed beauty infront of him.
"Well you see your majesty , since we are good individuals,would'nt be more cordial if we take our prisoner as ours and forgive her foolish mistakes? I want to take her as my wife." The crowd was stupefied. The king looked blank for a second. Then he spread a huge smile."This is an example of a true cyniclone!!long lives Kishu!"
"Long lives Kishu!" repeated joyfully the crowd. Kishu smiled in relief. The king nodded at his wife. The queen snapped her fingers again and whispered something at the two maidens who looked at Ichigo while nodding. "You will live in my palace under my protection and all your wishes will be granted." Said the king at the three facing him.
Kishu smiled evilly as the two maidens approched Ichigo. "Unleash the prisoner and take her to master Kishu's finest appartments." The queen ordered them. As her arms were released from the chains,Ichigo hoped with all her might that it was a nightmare and nothing else.
The two maidens made Ichigo stand up and forced her to walk along the corridor. She sneered in disgust as they passed Kishu.
The maids and Ichigo left the royal court and started off towards an illuminated alley where beautiful torches and tapestries gave off a sensual beauty.
The were crossing ,walking, climbing in what seemed hours. Ichigo was half sleeping when they had finally arrived. She looked around at the entrance and concluded that it was rather worth to live here. But when the maidens opened the door, Ichigo gasped of amazement.
The room was beautiful. Enormously , eccentricly, bumoxly beautiful. All decorated in gold and a seductive red with lion and cheetah skins for tapestries. There were bathrooms and halls all decorated in the same routine. As Ichigo dozed off, the maidens hurried her to a bathroom with a six meter diameter bathtub and began undressing her. Ichigo was confused but she did not stop them;she was actually DYING to get a bath.
She jumped in the relaxing water and smelled the rose fragrance escaping with vapor. The two maidens disapeared and reappeared with 10 other maidens. And they began scrubbing Ichigo...
She was never this pampered in all her life. She had taken a turkish bath ,massages with rare flowers that her skin pure and glowing,extra skin care, her hair was silky , ANd I MEAN SIlKy, her nails and her hands were just perfect and also were her feet. She was waxed from top to bottom , all with make up and beautiful jewelry, wearing a hot sexy nightdress that stopped at her extremities.
"Please wait here ,miss." said a maid.
"But why for-" the question was answered...
What Ichigo saw made her jaw drop...
