"Dialogue"

"Thoughts"

My Lord (Chapter One)

"Lord Kashiwagi, a messenger is here to see you."

"Thank you Major Kasai, please send them in."

"Yes ma'am."

Lord Kashiwagi Yuki is the ruler of the Rakuen Kingdom. Usually, she is a rather energetic and happy ruler but today, things just weren't going right. She had received a message from Lord Akimoto about an invasion by a nomad army. Lord Akimoto had requested for help but another army of barbarians had attacked the Rakuen Kingdom thus disabling Lord Kashiwagi's ability to provide aid to them.

Lord Kashiwagi was jolted out of her thoughts by the appearance of a young girl. Lord Kashiwagi herself was a young ruler, only 19 years of age. This girl, however, appeared to be perhaps 16 or 17 years of age. Lord Kashiwagi was quite taken by this young girl. Her eyes were dark, completely void of emotion. At least to any other person who looked into them. Lord Kashiwagi, however, could see little snippets of emotion flit through those dark eyes. Her skin was pale and beautiful just like newly fallen snow. Her smile was mischievous yet adorable. Lord Kashiwagi was once again brought forth from her thoughts by the young messenger waiting expectantly.

"Uh… um… y-you may speak."

"Yes Lord Kashiwagi. Lord Takahashi has offered you and Lord Akimoto assistance with these invasions. She can have reinforcements here within a fortnight. Do you accept this offer?"

"Yes. Please give Lord Takahashi my thanks and give my regards to her wife, Queen Maeda."

"Yes, Lord Kashiwagi. If you'll excuse me, I shall be on my way."

Lord Kashiwagi looked out the window and saw it raining quite hard. Because of the clouds and the time of day, traveling didn't look like a good choice.

"Wait. Perhaps you can stay the night. It's is cold, raining, and getting dark. Set out tomorrow morning, when the weather is fair and maybe the sun is out."

"As you wish, Lord Kashiwagi."

"Hm… if you do not mind me asking, what is your name and how old are you?"

"Of course I do not mind. My name is Watanabe Mayu and I am 16 years of age. I am from the Kumo Kingdom. Ruled by my sister-in-law and her wife."

"Watanabe Mayu? The younger sister of Maeda Atsuko?"

"Indeed that is I, Lord Kashiwagi."

"Hm… interesting. Well then, I shall get a servant to show you to your room. Please do join me for dinner later. I will send up some new clothes for you and get those that you are wearing washed. If you have anything you need, please, do not hesitate to ask a servant or myself."

"Yes Lord Kashiwagi. Thank you for your hospitality."

When the young girl left, Lord Kashiwagi berated herself silently.

"Why didn't I just give her a horse? Perhaps even a carriage? What was I thinking? Acting without thinking. I am such an IDIOT!"

Lord Kashiwagi was still berating herself when Major Kasai walked back in. Thus failing to notice the smirking Major. Kasai Tomomi was a soft spoken girl who was cute beyond words and quite the looker too. She, Lord Kashiwagi, Lord Akimoto, Lord Takahashi, Queen Maeda, Major Itano, Lord Matsui, and Medic Kojima were all childhood friends who met at Tengoku Gakuen. They were all the same age except Lord Akimoto and Medic Kojima who was both 3 years older. Many would think being such a soft spoken girl, she could hardly strategize an attack plan let alone fight a battle. But how wrong they are. She is one of the best Majors in all 3 kingdoms. When on the battle field, she is as fierce as any man can ever be. Perhaps even more.

"You seem to have taken a liking to her Yukirin…"

"Leave me be Tomo~mi. I was only concerned about her well being."

"Sure, sure. I saw the way you look at her. It's just like the way you used to look at me when we were in the academy. It's the very same look."

"That was our school days Tomo~mi. How do you know I have not changed that look? People change don't they?"

"Yes, people change. But you haven't. Love never really changes. Trust me Yukirin, it's the same look. Now go prepare for dinner before you are late. Oh and one more thing, Commander Itano is coming. She is here to discuss the plans of collaborating with Lord Akimoto's army. It seems the Barbarians and nomads are joining forces."

"I see. I'm sure you're happy you're girlfriend is finally visiting again! You just won't stop rambling about her! Haha. When she arrives, please tell her to come join us for dinner. I do miss Tomochin."

"Oh shut it Yukirin. You'll be doing that soon with that cute messenger girl. If I wasn't taken, I might go after her myself!"

"Stick to your girl Tomo~mi! I swear you always act like you're in heat!"

"Psh! Whatevers! Haha. Now go get ready. I'm getting hungry."

"Ok… see you at dinner Tomo~mi."

As Lord Kashiwagi was getting ready for dinner, she couldn't help but let her thoughts wander to the young girl, Mayu. Each thought made her heart beat a little faster until the mere thought of the girl sent her heart racing uncontrollably. She was the first one at the table so she sat down and waited for the others. Major Kasai was next to arrive along with Commander Itano. Both of them were holding hands, as expected of the cute couple. Itano Tomomi was just like Kasai Tomomi… except scarier when provoked…

"Greetings Lord Kashiwagi."

"Come now Tomochin. No need to be so formal. How have you been?"

"The weather could be more forgiving for a traveler but other that, just seeing Tomo~mi's face makes everything better."

"Indeed she is a sight to behold."

"Oh come now guys! Look. Our guest is here!"

"Ah! Mayu. I hope the clothes I sent you is to your liking?"

"It is Lord Kashiwagi. Thank you for your generosity."

Mayu wore a deep pink simple yet elegant silk dress. It fitted and accentuated all her curves in all the right places.

"Well Let us eat! I am starving…"

"Ah yes, Mayu, this is Major Kasai Tomomi, my childhood friend and this is her wonderful girlfriend Commander Itano Tomomi. Also a childhood friend."

"It is a pleasure to meet you Major Kasai, Commander Itano."

"Please call me Tomo~mi. No need for formalities now."

"Agreed. Call me Tomochin. It is easier to decipher us that way."

"Haha. True. Please call me Yuki. I am a normal person just as you and everyone else is. Please, no formalities."

"Understood Tomo~mi, Tomochin, uh… Y-Yuki…-sama…"

"Alright well, let us eat! I'm sure our cooks have prepared something fabulous for us tonight!"
