*Disclaimer* Iurai and Elgoe belong to me no one else may have them.
A/N: Well I have seen the anime and loved it so I started reading the manga just recently. I would've started reading it after I saw the anime but I was so busy and distracted I never got to read it. Anyway I really wanted to right this as a samurai fan fiction kind of thing, but… I know next to nothing about them and their period so I'm making this about kings, and knights, and princess, and magic, and you get the idea. This has Mori X OC
Hunny and Mori were riding their horses back from a battle against their real names were Takashi (Mori) Morinozuka and Mitsukuni (Hunny) Haninozuka, but they were given these nicknames from the King Tamaki, who just loved to give out nicknames to all his closest subjects. Anyway back to our story; when they got back into the gates they were greeted with congratulations from all the commoners. They were thrown flowers and complements and when they got to the castle they got off their horses, gave them to the stable boys and then went in to give the good news to their king.
"Takashi, how do you think the king will react this time?" Hunny asked as they walked the stone corridors.
"Probably over the top again" Mori said as he looked around.
The castle was more elaborate than any other castle in the land, and that was only due to King Tamaki Suoh's tastes and wanting to make everything elegant. Tamaki's personal advisor, Kyoya Ohtori, didn't like it, due to the money it would cost, but no one could argue with the King's decisions once his mind was made up. Then they got to the doors that separated them from the throne room.
Hunny and Mori gulped but then went in to face the inevitable. The King was on his throne and he was talking to Kyoya but when they came in his face brightened and said, "Ah Mori, Hunny we were just talking about your great battle against the Zukas. I'm so happy you taught them a lesson! That'll teach them that they can't have my Haruhi!"
Haruhi Fujioka was a very fought after princess that many men and women wanted for their own, but Haruhi had preferred the company of Tamaki's court. Hunny and Mori bowed on one knee, bowed their head and put a fist to the ground while the other fisted had went across their heart and they both said, "You're welcome my liege."
Then the royal twins came out, Hikaru (older) Hitachin and Kaoru (younger) Hitachin, they were the King's younger brothers from Tamaki's step-mother, and they said, "We brought Haru Milord!"
"Ah good, come here Haruhi, Oh Mori, Hunny you are dismissed, do whatever you like my champions." Tamaki said and they decided to leave.
"Takashi let's go to the kitchen I need some cake." Hunny said as he got onto Mori's shoulders.
Mori nodded in agreement and they headed to the kitchen. When they walked into the kitchen the chef sad, "Oh Hunny, Mori I just finished with your order! I hope you like it." Then he brought out a big tray filled with trays and Mori took them from the chef with a nod of the head and Hunny said, "Thanks Chef! Your sweets are always the best!"
"Oh thank you Hunny, that's the best complement a chef can hear." The chef bowed and Hunny waved as Mori left.
When they got to their rooms Mori dropped off Hunny and his treats in his room and then went to his own room, right next door, to change out of his armor. After that was done he was going to go to Hunny's room but Hunny came to him and said, "How about we check up on the throne room?"
"Sure." Mori said and he and Hunny with a smile went to the throne room. When they got there Kyoya was writing down something on his parchment and the feather pen was moving about wildly. The twins were trying to help Haruhi pick out a dress for the upcoming ball and so was the King.
"Oh try this one Haru! This one looks nice," Kaoru said holding up a very feminine dress.
"Or this one Haru!" Hikaru picked up another dress of a completely different but elegant design.
"How about this on Haruhi; this one would look so cute on you." King Tamaki showed.
"Guys I already told you I have a dress my mother had made for me, and it's just as good as the rest of these." Haruhi looked aggravated like she's been telling them this the whole time they were gone.
Hunny then ran over to Haruhi and said, "Haru! Haru! Can we see your dress on you? I bet it's really pretty."
Mori walked over and stood by Hunny when Haruhi's reply came, "No you all have to wait to see it at the ball. Really if it wasn't for the King I wouldn't even be going to this."
A knock then came at the door and Tamaki said, "You are allowed to enter. But come on Haruhi! We want to see you in the dress!" He gave her puppy dog eyes and then a girl with shoulder length raven black hair and ice blue eyes came in a black cloak and said in a bell-like voice, "Pardon me King Tamaki but my master Umehito Nekozawa sent me to ask the king if he needed anything?"
Mori's eyes widened and his heart sped up; she looked beautiful. Tamaki's expression was frazzled and he said, "N-no I-I don't need anything. Anyone else?"
Hunny then said, "Well I do need a potion for sore muscles, and so does Takashi."
She smiled and said, "I'll tell him right away, oh and have you seen a griffon chick around here? I look away for one second and he's gone."
Tamaki looked scared to death and then a call that sounded like a mix of a baby eagle call and a lion cub growl came from behind Tamaki's throne. Tamaki jumped and a little griffon flew from behind the throne and landed on Mori's head. The girl then said, "Ah Elgoe there you are! I've been looking all over for you." She then walked over to Maori and he took Elgoe off his head. When he did Elgoe flew out of his arms and onto the girl's shoulder and she said, "You shouldn't run away Elgoe, sorry Sir Takashi. Elgoe's instincts tell him when he's scared to fly on top of the highest thing. Which I'm sorry happened to be your head."
"It' alright." Mori said and there was an unnoticeable blush on his cheeks.
"Well that's good; well I'll have your bruise potions soon." She bowed and then left quickly.
Tamaki then said, "Why did I ever hire a sorcerer?"
Kyoya then said, "Well you said, 'Every king needs a Merlin' and so you got Umehito Nekozawa."
Tamaki let a shiver go and said, "I remember saying that," then he shook his head and his confidence came back, "and I'll stick to my decision no matter how bad Umehito creeps me out."
"Now it's time for dinner everybody!" Hunny said as he got on Mori's shoulders, "Onward Takashi to the dining hall." Everyone smiled and headed off to the dining hall for some dinner.
After dinner Hunny had a pile of cakes he ate and then fell asleep after words. Mori picked him up and carried him to his room. When he placed Hunny on his bed he walked out to his room and bumped the door into an oncoming person. He then looked around the door and the magic girl was on her butt, and he helped her up.
He said, "Sorry."
She smiled and said, "That's okay it's partially my fault. I brought your bruise potions."
Mori smiled and took it from her but blushed when their hands touched. She then said, "I'm sorry I never introduced myself, I'm Iurai."
She extended her hand and Mori took it and shook it and said, "Sir Takashi."
"I know, you're the well known knight under King Tamaki's rule. The commoners love you, oh speaking of which I have something to do. You're welcome for the potions but bye." Iurai smiled and then left.
Mori just stood there for a few minutes and looked at the potions then he shook his head and placed one on Hunny's desk and went inside his room and then applied some to his shoulders. And it worked on impact which shocked him, though it shouldn't have; Umehito was a very good sorcerer. Mori then slipped off all of his clothes except for his loincloth and fell asleep.
When he awoke it was still dark out but the sun was just getting ready to raise, the usual wake up time, but still too early for anyone else to be awake. A smell then came to his nose and when he realized it was himself he thought, "Guess I can take a bath down at the lake. I'm sure no one would be there."
He then put on some slacks and a shirt and headed out to the lake. It was deep in the woods so not many people knew about it, and it was secluded so it was hard to find; though Mori knew exactly where it was. When he got there he took all of his clothes off and jumped into the clear waters. They were surprisingly warm waters even in the winter months. He then swam over to the waterfall that supplied the lake with continual, clean, clear water.
He went right beneath it and let the water beat his head. The water went to his chest beneath it and, if one would've went further behind the waterfall there was a small cave that one could relax in after swimming. He thought it would be a good idea so he went behind the waterfall and sat in the little cavern. It was still pretty damp but it was a comfortable heat in the little cave and if you got too hot there was a constant mist from the waterfall except at the very back of the cave where it was dry and still warm.
When he heard voices he went back into the waters to change back into his clothes, but when he saw who it was he was in the deepest part of the lake, which was in the middle and only his head popped up when he stood at the bottom. It was Umehito and Iurai and when they saw him Iurai turned around blushing and Umehito said, "Oh we're terribly sorry for intruding on you Sir Takashi. We'll leave you so you can continue to your bath."
"No I was just leaving, just wait a minute until I can get my clothes back on." He then got out, put his clothes back on and said, "I'm done." And then he left but he looked back and saw Umehito turn away and Iurai start to take off her clothes saying, "Now Master don't look." Mori blushed and then rushed back to the castle.
When he got back to the castle he was relatively dry and went to the dining hall to get some food. He sat down next to Hunny who said, "I see you were off at the lake, how was the water?"
"It was good." Mori said with a smile then the image of Iurai popped into his head and with a blush he looked away from Hunny and asked, "So did you get the bruise cream?"
"Yeah it really worked quickly! Umehito really knows his stuff." Hunny replied and Mori regained his composure and continued to eat his breakfast.
Then Lady Renge Hoshakuji came in chatting with Haruhi and they were chatting. Lady Renge is a very close friend and a distant relative of Haruhi's and was arranged to be married to Kyoya, who was behind the tow chatting girls doing some work of his own while Tamaki was chatting to him. Everyone in the dining hall stood and bowed quickly but didn't sit down till the King did. He sat at the end of the table and the twins sat on his right. Next to Kaoru was Mori and Hunny, and next to the King's right sat Haruhi, then Renge, then Kyoya. Depending on the need Kyoya and Haruhi would switch spots. Then all the other ladies and gentlemen would sit everywhere else.
After those other ladies and gentlemen finished they would get up and leave after saying their goodbyes to the King and all of their closer friends, but Mori, Hunny, Haruhi, Renge, Kyoya, Kaoru, and Hikaru stayed even after they were done as was customary to wait for Tamaki to finish his meal.
After Tamaki was done everyone else had left and he then said, "Well you're all free to go. Sorry about taking so long I was distracted by… things."
They all nodded and went to their business. Mori and Hunny are the head of the guards so they had to check up on them and they also needed to do their daily training routine.
A/N: I just wanted to put something out there; Iurai is 5 feet 6 inches, so if you compare Hunny and Mori's height she would be right in the middle.
