Chapter 1

Imagine a world where everyone knows magic. A world where people are capable of flying and playing with magic. Castles. Green mountains and bluish-violet skies. From above, you can see the clear blue lakes and rivers. There, the mermaids are found. They will always be there waving and smiling at you. They are called the "Protectors of the Blue". At night, you can see the two beautiful moons. The one is yellow and the other orange. They are always crescent, as if smiling to everyone under them. They give beautiful light which makes everyone shimmer before you're your eyes. Imagine everything. This… This is my world.

Oh, I forgot. I'm Ayuzawa Misaki. Sorry for the late introduction. Well yeah. My world... I've been living here all my life but everyday I wake up, I still don't forget to cherish everything I see. It's so beautiful, mysterious. Curious.

The morning came and I have a daily routine of going to the forest to find my breakfast. I wore usual hunting clothes (the same with those in the medieval times). I feel very comfortable wearing these even though the color is untidy-looking. With these, I can move faster than anyone else.

The forest is all green and brown during daylight. But when the night comes, it turns shining blue and silver. Paradise, you might say. It's like soft crystals that lights the whole forest. Amazing.

Today's hunting was not any different from my other huntings. With my bow and arrows, I can catch two rabbits and a deer in no time. But for now, I'm satisfied with one rabbit. I'm not that hungry, though.

I placed my rabbit aside and lay myself down beside a three-hundred-year-old tree. The sky is also turning sky blue which signifies that one hour more, it would be lunchtime and I haven't eaten any. I closed my eyes with my hands at the back of my head. I was near to sleeping when…

"Ouch!" I yelled. I sat up fast and looked who did it. I saw a man and he was stepping on my left leg. "Hey! What's the matter with you?!" I shouted.

"Eh?" he looked at me as if he just noticed that I'm there.

"H-hey Mister! You're stepping on my leg!" I scowled.

He slowly looked down and stared at his feet then, he slowly removed his damn feet off me. Without any words, he just walked away. Seriously, he just walked away!

"Oi! Is that how your parents taught you? You didn't even apologize! Come back here, you!" I growled as I stood up. He looked back and turned his attention to me. He spoke.

"What is it, miss?" he asked.

Well, what is it? He's asking me what is it! Is he some kind of an idiot? What manners!

"You see, you just stepped on me for more than a minute there. I was hurt, mister. And you gave dirt to my pants! You owe me en apology!" I said calmly, trying to compose myself.

"Heh", he smirked and walked towards me with his hands in his pocket. "Isn't it your fault to be lying there when this is an area of the forest that should be for walking?" He smirked again.

"Well, you should've said 'excuse me' instead of stepping on me, sir."

"Well, you should've been aware of everything and not asleep because miss, this is a forest." He actually gave emphasis to the word forest.

"I'm sorry sir-"

"It's ok", he cut in. Ugh! I'm so mad now. I continued.

"I'm sorry, sir but that 'sorry' is not is not meant for apologizing to you and if you'll excuse me, I demand an apology for what you've done minutes ago because that wasn't very manly." I was looking at him with raging eyes and balled fists.

He stood there and stared at my raging face for a while then, he turned away from me walked. He just turned his back! So…. So… disrespectful! With my anger, I threw my bow at him. Luckily, I hit him on his head. Yes!

"Leaving, eh? Don't you want to play with me a little?" I said with sarcasm. I have the guts to say that. I can fight, you know.

Once more, he turned and walked towards me with his hands still in his pocket and his face looking down. I cannot see his eyes. The nervous feeling suddenly went through me. 'What's with him?' I suddenly asked myself. I felt my knees shaking. He placed his arms on the tree behind me. I was between him and the tree, cornered. He spoke:

"Do you really want to play, little girl?" he said as his face moves closer to mine. I gulped. "Why miss? What's the matter?" he moved closer and closer. "You want to play with me… right?" His lips are just centimeters from mine.

I just can't fight back. I can't move but I feel my own knees trembling. I have never been in these situations. I felt so helpless. I thought this couldn't get any worse but I was wrong. His lips almost touched my ears and he almost covered my face with his neck.

There, he whispered, "I won't hurt you" he smiled. I know he smiled. "I'm sorry awhile back. With those words, he left me and walked away. So frightened, I was still unable to move. It took few minutes to have all the courage run through me once again. When I have composed myself, I shouted with anger:

"BASTAAAAAAAAARD! YOU WON'T GET AWAYWITH THIS!"

The moment I finished shouting, I heard footsteps running to my direction. When I turned, I saw Yukimura gasping for air.

"M-miss Misaki… Why… are you… here again?" Yukimura said grasping for air.

"Rest awhile now before you say anything, okay." I told him, more of a command. After minutes, he stood up straight and continued what he was saying.

"Miss Misaki, why are you wearing those clothes again?!" his voice just got louder. "You're mom has been looking for you! And just so you'll know, I'm the one getting scolded! You shouldn't wake up sooo early and jump off the window just to avoid the guards!"

"I know, Yukimura", I said calming him.

"No, you don't understand Miss Misaki! You are forbidden to go here, right? She'll surely scold me if she knows you're here! Oh please… Why are you so hard-headed? You're gonna get us both killed!" He explained, almost crying.

This guy is Yukimura. He's my personal assistant… and he's such a crybaby. Actually, you can see him crying more often than kids. Isn't that weird? I can't tell if he's a man now or still a boy (or a gay). Maybe, he's still a boy even if we're almost the same age. Yukimura is the best assistant, I tell you. He's very loyal to me. Whenever I get problems with mom, he's there to cover me. He's such a good friend. And also, I'm not really a huntress or a princess or anything, okay? My mom has a position in the castle, a high one. That's why I'm still considered honorable and an expected candidate for ruling or castle. For me, that is way too incredible. I'm fine with hunting.

We started walking home when Yukimura spoke again:

"Oh, Miss Misaki… The son of the duke from the North Castle is coming. The duke and your mom are really good friends. That's why his son will be introduced to you."

"What for?" I asked.

"Well, what do you think is it for?" he just rolled his eyes. Seriously, he rolled his eyes in front of me!

"Don't tell me it's for future thingy?" My eyes widened.

"I guess", he answered. "Don't worry, he's gorgeous." Then he smiled.

Yeah. Yukimura smiled after saying 'he's gorgeous'. Hoho. Imagine that! XD Done with the first chap. I'll publish the next one soon. Thanks for reeaaading! :D Arigatou gozaimasu minna-san!
