Sleeping Issei
In two kingdoms far away long ago there lived two princes. One lived in the Red Kingdom and the other lived in the White Kingdom. The Kings of the countries decided the two should meet one day so they could be friends and keep the peace between the two countries. Well after the boys met they were fast friends and soon inseparable. They were forever spending time in the others palace. It got to the point were if you talked about one the other was in the sentence. Time went on and they grew into teens, they were closer than most brothers.
They were the teen idols of both kingdoms. The girls had their pick there was shy, quiet, and mysterious Issei, or wild and rugged Jinpachi. The only trouble was Jinpachi was in love with Alice, from the Blue Kingdom, which Rin ruled. And Alice loved Rin and he her. No one knew whom Issei loved.
So it happened the two princes were in Jinpachi's room talking one day. Jinpachi was gazing out the window looking at nothing interesting, while Issei sat at the small table in the room watching his friend.
"She is nothing like all those others, my love for her comes from the heart!" Jinpachi proclaimed while pounding the windowpane.
"But isn't that what you said about all the other girls in the past?" Issei inquired with a voice that held a tint of despair.
Jinpachi as observant as every did not notice! "But each time it is true at the time. Each time the feeling is stronger than the last. Have you ever gazed upon anyone more fair or beautiful as Alice? Even her name is exquisite!!"
"She already loves Rin and he her." Issei said avoiding the question.
"What that runt I could pound him with one arm tied behind my back!!" he shouted while pounding on the wall beside the window in frustration. Issei just watched his best friend in silence.
"I don't think she would love you for that"
" What would you know, you have never even fallen in love. You have no idea what it is like to love, but know your love will never be returned. They're too caught up in someone else to even notice you!" Jinpachi shouted at his best friend.
"ENOUGH!" shouted Issei he pounded the table with his fist and stood in a rage. A rage Jinpachi had never seen before in his gentle friend. Issei had his face lowered so his bangs covered his eyes; Jinpachi had never even heard Issei yell before so he was shocked into silence. "I'm leaving before I say something I regret!!!" he stated emphasizing the I. He turned in a swirl of cloak. As he spun something shimmered in the air for a second, Jinpachi realized it was a tear. He had caused Issei to cry. Issei rushed out of the room. Jinpachi could hear his footsteps echoing in the stone hallway outside his room.
It took Jinpachi a few moments to recover from the shock of seeing Issei get upset. He sat down heavily on his bed to think. He was in utter shock his anger was forgotten and out of mind. He had never seen Issei get upset; he never let anything bother him. Jinpachi was the one who got mad or yelled. "Issei was the kind gentle one! What did I say to him? What got him so mad, and why?' Jinpachi thought to himself. Something was definitely bothering Issei and Jinpachi wanted to find out what and to apologize. By the time he started looking for his best bud 15 minuets had passed. Jinpachi started from his room and worked his way down the palace. But no one had seen our heard form Issei since before they went to Jinpachi's room. That was until he got to the kitchen were the youngest serving girl spoke up in a lisping voice, "I saw him head for the garden half an hour ago. It looked like someone had broken his heart."
It felt like someone had slugged him in the gut, He had caused that pain to his best friend in the world! He turned and raced to the garden. Getting there was not a problem, the problem was, were to look when he got there. The garden was huge and had a large maze in the middle.
As he approached the garden he saw no sign of Issei. He was heading to the maze when something caught his eye. There was something crumpled on the stone bench by the Sakura Tree. He picked it up and gentle began unfolding it. He gasped it was a picture of himself and a girl he had liked some time back. 'Why would Issei keep a picture like this then throw it away.' he wondered. All he had to do was find Issei and it would be explained. He put the crumpled picture in his pocket, and continued into the maze.
He was having no luck in the maze, he knew his way but he didn't know if Issei went to the center or someplace else. Jinpachi rounded a corner and there was Issei on a bench across from a rose bush. Jinpachi went quietly back around the corner. He didn't know what to say. Should he apologize right away or ask questions or comfort Issei. He decided to do the last one first and then wing it from there. But just as he worked up the courage to walk around the corner, he saw Issei get up. He moved like he was in a trance. He reached out to grab a rose, but on the way he pricked his finger. He drew his hand back hastily, but a single drop of blood fell on the rose he had been about to pick.
