Golden Wings (Re-Written)
Sorry but I'm in COMPLETE WRITERS BLOCK with this story. I've decided to re-write it to something better. LOL. Please forgive me but knowing how I write, meaning the story not the grammar, it would be good. Give me time and I'm sure you'll like it. I'm going to change it a lot.
Escapes
It's been five years since Yuya Shiina have seen her friends and today is the day all of them made a promise to meet with each other at Lord Muramasa's house. One bounty hunter won't be able to make it because she's in a cage but tonight she is escaping.
She takes all her belongings she can carry into her small white bag, a brown cloak with a hood, then escapes from her home without anyone knowing.
The night is dark and cold and the ground is almost fully cover in snow. Yuya rides on a white horse through the dark night holding something precious in her arms. She rides hard and with plenty with speed so she won't get caught.
The faster she rides, the faster the prison view becomes out of sight. She is far away from the Edo and very far from Lord Muramasa's place. She has a four day journey to get where she needs to go, Muramasa Village.
The Next Day
She finally let her horse rest after a full night running. She's in familiar territory and she needs to find shelter so she can get out of cold. Snow is coming down from the sky hard and she needs to move because her horse will freeze and she will catch a cold. They are no where new Edo and have no idea where the road to Edo is.
She walks in the three inch snow while her horse tries to make it through the snow. She wraps her treasure to her chest and keeps it warm. Her most important treasure is her baby, her only treasure in the world.
"I'm hungry and I know you are too," She whines while touching her baby who is underneath her cloak. "I know there has to be a tea house around her somewhere." She sighs then hold the horse leash close to her. "Just a few more, Ai, until you can rest."
The horse pushes her forward gently and playful to tell she's all right. Yuya smiles then pet her on the forehead. "It's worth the wait, trust me."
In a few hours, Yuya, her baby, and her horse finds the Road to Edo and a tea house which looks full and very busy. It's been a while since Yuya been in this kind of atmosphere but she can still handle it. She place Ai in the warm barn next door so she can be fed then enter the tea house. She wasn't sure if she should take off her cloak just yet so she keeps it on.
When she takes one step on the wooden floor, it seems all eyes were on her, and she ignores it by walking pass everyone until she finds a place in the corner. She opens her cloak and takes out her one year old baby which is wrap in cotton and silk. The baby has blond hair and green eyes and it's a boy. He's asleep but starts waking up with all the noise and the lightening.
"Good morning, you." she giggles and holds him in her arms. "You ok?"
"Haa." the baby giggles and reaches out to her. "Ohh."
"I'll take that as a yes." She smiles and touch him on the cheek with her white gloves. "Just three more days."
"Excuse me," a waitress comes over with a pad in her hand. "Can I get you something?"
"Oh," she holds her child to her chest and keeps her face hidden. "I'll take a milk, sushi, and green tea please."
"I take it the milk should be warm."
"If you can make it, that will be nice." she smiles then covers her child's head.
"No problem."
"Thank you."
"Akira, you useless man, get me something to drink!" screams a woman all the way across the room.
Yuya knows the voice very well and turns to see who she was expecting to find, Tokito and Akira . Tokito is pregnant and looks she can be carrying more then one in her stomach.
"Akira... Tokito." Yuya says lowly and surprisedly because they seem like ghost to her since it's been years since they've seen each other.
"Tokito, calm down." a woman comes over with pink hair and dress in a beautiful pink kimono. Yuya knew at that moment that wasn't a woman but a man, Akari. He was carrying a tray of food and four drinks.
'I wonder if Kyo's here.' she turns away and looks at her still sleepy baby. 'I feel like I should stay here and not go up to them. I have no reason to stay away, why am I'm hesitating? What's wrong with me?'
"Here you go." her order comes and is set on the table. "Enjoy."
"Thank you." She looks at the smoky tea, sushi, and warm milk. "Wake up, you." she looks at her child and finds him wide awake and looking at the milk.
"Ahh!" he reaches out for the milk.
"All right then." she picks up the milk then starts feeling the baby before herself. "It's not the normal breast milk but it will do"
She quickly feeds her baby and herself then relax for a moment while going through her money. She only has gold coins which is more then enough and can feed a town. It's for her to start a new life and get her old self back.
'My new life dream will come true if I can just pass Kyoto' she stands up and place the baby near her chest then call for the waiter so she can give the money.
The waiter holds out her hand and Yuya takes it and place a gold coin in it. "Here."
The waiter looks at the gold coin and fainted on the ground, making the whole tea house looks at them. The place is full of bandits and robbers and that's why Yuya gave it to the waitress secretly. She doesn't need no one taking her stuff. But, to make herself worse, the gold coin fell out of the waitress hand when she fainted.
"Great." she mumbles while stepping on the coin quickly but it was too late.
"Have enough to go around, stranger?" a tall man, a bandit, gets up with his group and takes out his pocket knife.
'Not good.' she steps back then do what she did last night, escape from the situation. "I have no time for this." She runs outside then whistles for Ai.
Ai bust out of the barn with someone lying on the back of her, Hotaru. She didn't care at the moment and jumps on while letting Ai run. Hotaru is fully awake and riding Ai without a settle.
"Yuya-San." he holds on to her while riding behind her.
She feels a cold breeze comes past her head and notice her hood is off. "Long time no see Hotaru."
He holds on to her and looks at her face with a strange look. "You look different."
"You've changed as well." she holds on to Ai's neck and rubs her. "I'm sorry we had to leave so quickly, Ai."
The horse nods her head up and down while running faster then before.
"Kyo and Bontenmaru are staying at an Inn in the next small village a few miles ahead."
"Why are you and the rest are up here then?"
"Akari and Tokito wanted to try the tea house herb tea." he replies while leaning on her back. "It's so damn cold out here."
In a small but lively village, in a small Brothel House, Bontenmaru, Demon Eyes Kyo, Migeira, Sasuke, and Yukimura enjoy themselves with sake and woman; well besides Sasuke because he's looking after Yukimura. The Brothel House is very small, the fire inside the room makes it very hot, so the door is open. Outside is where they will be staying and where the woman are, at the Inn. They met Yukimura and Sasuke and Migeira and Okuni to this place while Kyo and his hang was dragged her by Akari.
Both men has two large jaws of sake with four girls under each arm. All enjoying themselves because they had to deal with Okuni and a pregnant Tokito. Migeira is married to Okuni but he escaped because Okuni is also pregnant and needed rest.
"Migeira, I've never saw you as a rebellions type, you are going behind Okuni's back like this." Yukimura smiles at Migeira then laughs.
"That woman is a pain when she's pregnant like this. I don't get a good time with her since I found about the baby." he holds a girl closer to him then leans on her from his drunkenness.
"This moment will be complete if Yuya-San was here. Yelling at Kyo for spending her money." Yukimura sighs and lets go of his girls then looks at Kyo. "Come on, Kyo. I know you miss her."
"Fuck off, Yukimura." Kyo mumbles then looks out the doors. "I don't miss the dog-
"Hotaru is back, riding on a while horse with someone." Bontenmaru points out to in front of the Inn. "Wearing a hood over it's head."
"Why do we care?"
"Because he never rode with someone on the horse."
"True."
Yuya and Hotaru enters the village but she place her hood over her head before entering, just in case someone found her. Hotaru directs her to his Inn and she realize it was right across a Brothel House which doesn't surprise her. She parks Ai in front of the Inn's porch and wait for Hotaru to let go of her and get off.
"Hotaru?" She sits and wait.
"Yeah?"
"Get off."
"I was enjoying myself." he holds on to her waist and rubs his head on her back. "Ride more."
Yuya holds on to Ai then pats her neck five times so she can stand on her back legs and let Hotaru fall off. "Good girl." she slides off herself then let Ai run off. "I'll call you when I need you."
Hotaru gets up from the snow and looks at Yuya. "That was mean."
"You won't let go." she smiles then walks on the porch and looks down at him. "You've cut your hair, nice."
Hotaru feels his small pony tail. "I did?"
She laughs then walks in the Inn. "I'm happy to see you, Hotaru."
LadyDanielle: I'll stop from here.
