Chapter 1: Meet the Boys and Girls
I breathed in the fresh morning air as the sun shined in my face. I stare out the window not looking in any particular direction. I hear a knock on my door and murmur a 'come in'. It was one of my mother's maids.
"Master Takeo your Mother and Father have summoned you to the throne room. Your brothers have been informed as well. Please arrive in a few minutes." She states. She waits for my nod before she bows and closes the door.
I walk back to my bed and sit for a few seconds contemplating what my parents would want. I sigh and get up to do my morning routine. I grab a towel and walk into my navy colored bathroom. I put the towel down and I reach to turn the water faucet on.
I know you may be thinking that the maids can do this for me, but I do a lot of things on my own. I am a boy. I'm not some sissy girl that needs to have things done for them.
I step into the bathtub and start to wash my body. After my bath, I walk back into my room and dress in my navy colored robes. I check to make sure everything is situated correctly and walk out the door to meet my Mother and Father. I walk down the hall to see my brothers Takeshi and Kenta leaning against the banister of the staircase, waiting for me. I smile in greeting and we make our way down the grand staircase.
We walked in silence for a few seconds before someone spoke. I smirked already knowing who would speak first.
"Argh! What do they want now!" said a pissed of Kenta. I looked at him. he wore his forest colored robes. Of course this was a normal occurrence, but he didn't even bother to fix his robes properly. My older brother was quite feisty and constantly used his strength to make people fear him. I frowned and glanced at my oldest brother who donned dark red robes..
"Shut up, Kenta." Takeshi said simply. My oldest brother was the epitome of perfection. He never had one hair out of place. Although he was quite mischievous, he always made sure his image was perfect at all times.
"The sooner we get this over with the better." Takeshi added a few seconds later.
We continued our walk silently and quickly walked through the doors of the throne room. My Mother and Father are sitting in front of us. All three of us walk up to them and kneel in front of them on a cushion of our assigned color. We situated ourselves silently and looked up listening to what they wanted to say. My father stared at us for a minute and then started.
"Boys, as you know, you are at the age in which you have to start looking for wives." We looked around confused, but continued to listen anyway.
"We have found a few candidates for you three. We have chosen as best as we can. They are going to arrive tomorrow." He said.
We sat there shocked for a few seconds before hurrying to object.
"Now, boys, your Father is right." Our Mother cut in. "If you three are going to rule this land one day, you have to find suitable wives."
"But Mother, all those princesses from other kingdoms are sissies." Takeshi started.
"Yeah." Kenta cut in. "All they do is whine, take money, and spend it on crap." he finished.
"They are not even strong either they are all weak" I added.
Our mother laughed. "Boys, I think you're too old for calling girls sissies."
"But Mother." We chorused.
"Now Boys, you know that most girls are fragile and they need your protection they can't fend for chances are you won't find any girls that can fight like you can."she continued.
"When the other princesses come tomorrow I want you to act like gentlemen. I don't want you to try and fight them they aren't men so be nice." My Father finished.
We sat there in a circle and thought it over. We had no choice, so we agreed to meet them. We did come to a compromise. We would meet them, but if we disliked them we were given permission to turn them down.
My father sighed and accepted the deal. he knew us well enough to know that it wasn't going to get any better than that. "It's about time for breakfast. Let's go and eat." He said.
My mother and Father walked out of the room to the dining area. We followed behind whispering to each other about what we were going to do about finding wives.
"Brick. What are we going to do?" I asked Takeshi, calling him by his middle name. We don't normally speak with each other using first names. It's too royal like and are great code names for when we start our snooping and such. Not many people either knew or paid attention to what we called ourselves, so it was much easier for us.
"I don't know Boomer" he replied. "What do you think Butch?" he asked also calling my brother Kenta by his middle name.
"I think we should just act bad and disobey Father because I am not marrying any stinking wussy princess that only wants money and to be higher up in the food chain." He said.
Brick and I both gave him a look and smirked. Butch would never change.
"It's about time you three joined us" said the queen of the Land of Wind.
"We are sorry, Mother" we said simultaneously. "We were having a small discussion about tomorrow's meeting."
She looked at us suspiciously and then went back to eating. We sighed in relief and sat in our respectful seats around the table. Soon after the maid brought us our food and we started eating.
A door slammed open and in walked in a girl with short raven hair.
"Momoko, according to Princess we are going to arrive at Luna Island soon. We will be able to get supplies there."
"Alright, Kaoru." I replied."Tell Miyako to get everything ready. We're gonna go meet some old friends."
"Yeah well I'm not so thrilled to see my brothers. I'm guessing you want to see your sister?" Kaoru said.
"Sure why not. Whenever we visit, she always says she's lonely so we'll have to take our siblings with us. this time around. Besides, we need extra hands around the ship anyway and they could be a big help when we are in trouble."
"Whatever" Kaoru said and left the room to tell Miyako her given orders.
After Kaoru left the room, I smirked. I knew what I said pissed off Kaoru because of the look she gave me before she left. It's not unknown that she finds her brothers annoying as well. Let's hope everything turns out well.
Kaoru, Miyako, and I are all the captains of this ship. We share the job. Though they usually trust me to do this most of the time because it's been in my family for years. I've known Miyako and Kaoru almost all my life. We met when we were about 7. It's a pretty funny story because I met Kaoru when she was in a middle of having an argument with her two brothers.
I met Miyako on the shore of a was looking out into the ocean. I talked to her for a while during the day before my parents and their crew were going to get supplies from their village. I stayed on the boat waiting for them. I saw Miyako and another girl next to her a small distance away. I waved over to them,but they just stood there. Villgagers had started attacking the two. My parents intervened and took the two girls away. I asked if they could come along with us and they reluctantly agreed. We later found out were a good add to our team.
When we were 10, we found out we each had a power from an element including Kaoru's brothers and my sister. My power is fire, Miyako's water, and Kaoru's Earth. Kaoru's older brother obtained the power of healing as well as my younger sister. Kaoru's younger brother has the power of thunder.
We were all trained in the arts of our element since that day. According to Ken's father, Professor Utonium, it ran in our families for millennia. We learned all different types of fighting moves and different ways of wielding our powers.
"I better go and check out what's happening on deck" I said aloud. I stood up and walked out the door.
I walked up the stairs and met one of my crew members halfway up, a girl named Momo. I nodded at her and kept walking. When I'm alone with Kaoru and Miyako, I'm always so nice and carefree but when I am with my crew I almost never show any emotion. It was one of the things I learned while growing up on seeing as we assassins.
'I learned it the hard way and ended up losing so much.' I thought.
I came up to the deck and saw all of the crew hurrying to do their assigned jobs.
'Well I know where Kaoru's taking her anger out.' I chuckled.
I sighed and smiled a bit. Valese, the girl that I found with Miyako, was cleaning up around the ship. Miyako wasn't far behind organizing everything moved out of place. I walked over to them and asked how everything was going. Valese replied with an okay and a smile, while Miyako gave a nod in response.
Miyako, like me and Kaoru, never showed much emotion around people unless it was me or Kaoru. Miyako is a bit less harsh than Kaoru and I are though. She doesn't really talk much at all even to mean Kaoru, but we've grown to understand her. She was the softy in our group. She was the one ,along with Valese, who cooked and cleaned for the crew.
Kaoru is the tough, demanding one in our group. She's not as silent as Miyako, but you get on her bad side it'll be the end of you…literally. Kaoru is the person that makes sure everyone does their job and does it right. She doesn't take or make excuses.
My spot in this crew is the strategist. I'm the smartest and most trained in the crew. I'm usually dumped with all the strategic missions like disguises and plans. I also keep up with what supplies we have and what we don't have.
"We are going to start dinner in a little while" said Valese.
I looked back at her and nodded "That's fine." I replied and left to pester Kaoru about her brothers. It was fun to pester her, but I also had to make sure all the supplies we needed was written down.
"Kaoru!" I called.
She looked at me and scowled.
I smirked. "So… what are you going to do when you see you two brothers again?" I asked, curiously.
"Well," she started. "First I'm gonna beat the crap out of 'em and then I'm going to throw their unconscious bodies off a high cliff and then-" She stopped to think, but I cut her off.
"We should just keep it as that,yeah?." I suggested.
She shrugged me off and went back to her plans for her brothers.
'I feel sorry for her poor brothers, but then again they do sometimes deserve it. Oh Well.' I shrugged. 'It's better not to get on her nerves, since she already seems pissed off.'
