A/N: This is the
sequel to "The Outcasts" Though you can't tell until later! And since my 200th
reviewer out of all my stories wanted Kayura and Yuli in it, I'm bringing them
in! Enjoy!
"Sir, I
know that this may upset you, but the cards for see the impending doom of one
you love. It is a young one, a child perhaps, maybe even unborn. I do not wish
to be the one to tell you, but that is what the cards say." Cye Mouri felt an
arm clasp around his throat, as he gasped in surprise.
"You lie!
Boy, you feeble minded one! You speak of evil that would never befall my wife
and I!" Cye groaned as he waited calmly for the man to release him. Finally,
the pressure ceased, as he fell to the ground in a heap of gold bangles and
soft silk. Glancing up, he watched as the man stormed away.
"Well, it
seems that not everyone appreciates the truth." Cye stood up and brushed
himself off as he turned to the speaker. He nearly fell back to the ground as
he stared at the blonde god before him. Tall and slender, curved in all the
right places, golden haired and ivory skinned, pale orbs of violet for eyes,
nothing about this boy was beyond perfection. Cye gaped for a moment, until the
boy finally spoke.
"Umm,
excuse me, but is there a Lady Kayura working here? I think this is where I was
supposed to meet her." The boy glanced around aimlessly, obviously oblivious to
where he was.
"Excuse me,
but why are you trying to find my sister?" The boy's violet eyes widened as red
tinted his cheeks.
"Oh, I'm
sorry! I didn't realize that she's your sister. It's just that she has posted a
message in town about how she wishes for someone that is experienced with
animals to come help her. I know that it is a tiger, but I myself work with
animals. I was hoping that I could talk to the animal." Cye tried to stifle his
laughter.
"Excuse me
good boy, but the tiger is much too strong and aggressive for you to take on.
Why don't you leave it to the professionals and go home? Nobles like you
shouldn't mingle with we gypsies. You know that your daddy would disapprove."
The boy's eyes met Cye's, piercing into the auburn boy and causing him to wince
under the intense glare.
"For your
information, I am an animal trainer. I've dealt with worse then sick tigers."
Cye hung his head.
"I'm sorry.
She is over in that tent." The boy nodded.
"Thank
you." The blonde said, turning and walking away. Cye watched the boy move with
a smile, noting the curves of the other boy's ass.
"Would you
like me to accompany you?" Cye asked innocently as the boy shrugged.
"If you
wish. What is your name by the way, if you so not mind me asking?"
"Cye Mouri.
And you would be?" Cye waited patiently for the boy to respond.
"Sage
Date." Cye smiled.
"It is nice
to meet you." The boy nodded in agreement.
"Well, I'll
take you to her." Sage nodded once more as Cye led him to a bright azure tent
and carefully pulled aside the curtains, leading Sage into the room.
"Sister?"
Sage watched as a small girl turned to them, blue eyes flashing in confusion.
Sage smiled at her and bowed. She was pretty, thin and baby faced, makeup
covering her face and eyes, her hair and body covered in thin silk, beads
falling across her chest in a rainbow of colors.
"May I help
you?" Her Soprano voice questioned, as Sage nodded.
"I saw your
bulletin about the tiger, and I was hoping that maybe I could help. I have
helped other tigers, llamas, emus, apes, horses, etc.. I was hoping that maybe
I could help you." The woman looked him over in interest.
"How much
do you want for your services if the tiger does not kill you?" The blonde
laughed.
"Nothing of
course, milady. Why would I charge when I clearly do not need the money and it
is for the health of an innocent animal?" The woman smiled.
"I like you
boy. The tigers name is White Blaze." The boy nodded.
"May I see
him?" The plait haired woman turned towards the back of the tent.
"Go out
through there. He's out in the pen." Sage nodded as he headed to the backroom.
Cye began to follow him, but was stopped by his younger sister.
"He's cute
brother." Cye smiled faintly.
"Cute,
sister, you underestimate him. He is damned gorgeous!" His azure haired sister
giggled mercilessly at her brother's antics.
"Oh silly brother, can't you ever
retain your hormones and keep them in your pants where they belong?" Cye smiled
mischievously.
"But
sister, where is the fun in that? And I'm not hitting on him, yet. I am simply
staring at his amazingly fit body and fine young ass." Kayura said nothing and
simply smiled.
"Umm…
excuse me, but are any other animals hurt?" Cye glanced up and nearly burst out
in laughter at the crimson-faced boy. Obviously, he and his sister were not the
only ones in on the conversation.
"Well, have
you helped the tiger?" Kayura asked, hiding her smile at the previous events.
The boy tilted his head to the side.
"Of course.
He was just offended by the food you're giving him. He wasn't sick, just fed up
with the food. Just add a little rice with his meal, and he'll be fine." Kayura
smiled.
"Good job. I commend you, and
I think my brother does as well." Cye grinned and watched the pale cheeks flush
even more.
"Well,
Sage, since this is what you do for fun, and I know that you like doing this,
why don't you come here daily, and help take care of the animals?" Sage smiled
brightly.
"I'd love
that ma'am!" Kayura laughed.
"And I'm
sure that my brother would love that too." Cye smiled seductively, as Sage
yelped. Kayura smiled.
"Ma'am, I
am honored, but I wish that you not tell my parents, brother, or fiancé." Cye's
face fell at the mention of a fiancé.
"Well,
she's my betrothed. But, please do not tell Lady Mia." Kayura nodded.
"Don't
worry, I won't." Sage smiled.
"Well Lord
Date, you better get home. You've been here for awhile, and you do not want
your parents to find out where you are." Sage smiled.
"Good point
Lady Kayura. Well, I must bid you farewell, but I will be here tomorrow."
Kayura nodded as she watched Sage walk away.
"Now I see
your point. He does have a fine ass!" Cye laughed.
"Well
sister, I must be going. I have a dance to do!" Kayura nodded as her brother
ran off. She smiled.
Walking on
stage, Cye smiled as he began to dance. Looking out to the audience, he never
noticed the fey blonde watching in awe at the silken figure that danced across
the room in all grace.
