Second Update! Yay! Thank you for those who review my story! I'm glad that I still get reviews! Hahaha. Forgive for the late update. You see... I'm still studying. I am currently here at my OJT's office writing this instead of doing my work. O_O. Well, here is chapter two for everyone. Enjoy! :)
Chapter 2: The Emperor and the Queen
The sun was shining brightly and the bird's chirps were like the hum of a melody. It was a wonderful day. There was no sign that yesterday had rain because of the swaying dry leaves of the cherry blossoms that ride across the wind's force. The floor was very relaxing and the smooth surface of it was touching the barefooted lady. Kasuga woke up from her sleep. She stretched and yawned at this peaceful morning. A nice jogging into the peaceful road of the province will make this day. She glanced toward the bed and found someone on his bed. A man wearing white all around was peacefully snoozing in the soft and comfortable bed.
"AHHHH!" Kasuga screamed to the top of her lungs. She was surprised by the invader in her so-called own bed and began to hurl the pillows of the bed to the man's face.
"WH-what the..?" the man woke up from the bed surprised by the sudden pillow that bursts in his face.
"What are you doing in my room? And importantly, in my bed!"
"Who are you?" the man asked in a hoarsely voice. Then, all of a sudden, guards came down from the large door and inspect the room until their gaze met the lady who was still sitting on the bed. Their spears then began to move pointing at her.
"What is this all about!" the guards began to tie Kasuga's hand to her back.
"My lord, are you hurt?" The main guard kneel down to the white clothed man and continued "Did that woman harmed you?"
"No, not at all. I'm just surprised of a sudden visitor inside my room."
"Your room? This is my room! You are a Pervert!" the guards violently grip her hands when those words come out of her mouth.
"What do you think you are saying to the emperor, young lady?" the main guard glare at her. "What are you doing at the room of the emperor? Such acts will only lead you to your disgraceful death!"
Kasuga then noticed that her surroundings have changed. The bed, the lights and even the cabinets, they are new, not the antique –like state in her room. She also noticed the mirror inside the room. The colour, the design and even the shape of it is the same as what she had outside her room. The only difference is that her mirror was antique unlike what is in the room which is brand new.
"This... It's not my room! What am I doing here? Did you kidnap me?" she points her finger to the man who had loose from the grip and the tie from the other guards. The guards then tried to retie it but Kasuga wouldn't let them.
"How dare you accuse the emperor for such acts? Your allegation towards the emperor would not be forgiven!"
"Your head should be cut down!" the other guard said to her.
"Stop." the man said to the guards. "I'll take care of this young lady myself. You all better leave."
"But my lord, this lady had done some mischievous things. She will never be exonerated!"
"Are you questioning my orders?"
"I-I am sorry my lord! Forgive my rudeness!" the guards then start to move out of his room. They bow down and not even looked at him once. The man then focused his attention to the girl.
"Hey you mister. Where am I? What am I doing to this place?"
"That is something I would like to ask you my lady"
"My Lady? What the heck..?"
"My name is Kenshin Uesegi. I am the current emperor of the Echigo Province."
"Emperor?"
"Yes. Where did you come from?"
"What? What is this place anyway? Echigo? Haven't even heard that place before."
"Then I will lead you to where you lived. Where do you live?"
"I live by the province of Nagashino."
"Nagashino? Where is Nagashino?"
"What? You don't know where Nagashino is?"
"I'm sorry my lady but I haven't heard of such a place."
"What? Where am I really?"
"This is my palace. This is where I live."
"And those... Those who entered this room a while ago. They are...?"
"They are my guards."
"But they don't even look at your face."
"Ordinary persons in this palace have no right to look at the face of the Emperor." He then glances at Kasuga. "And you had just break that rule"
"What with this? Such stupidity! Not to look at someone's face? Totally absurd"
"Yes. There are such rules in here and every kingdom has the same rule. Where do you really come from?" that sentence was supposed to tell Kasuga that she was an alien of that world.
"I told you I'm from Nagashino! I live with my grandmother and Keiji! I am a student of Gakuen Basara High!"
"If I know what you are saying my lady, I would have lead you to that place you are talking about"
"I am not your lady. I had a name! My name is Kasuga! I am 17 years old, in a relationship with Sarutobi Sasuke and unemployed!" so much for the introduction Kasuga.
"Alright Ms. Kasuga, I do not want to have any conversation with you right now. If the people outside the castle founds out that a lousy woman like you had seen me..."
"I'm not a lousy woman"
"Guards." The guards then entered the room. Their head bow down. "Take this woman outside the castle and lead her to her home."
"Yes, your highness." The guards then lead Kasuga outside.
The guards are guarding Kasuga while she was walking outside the castle.
"Miss, where are you heading?"
"To where I want! Do not follow me!" Kasuga stomps her barefoot to the ground with each movement. "I wanted to go home! Grandma and Keiji must be worried about me."
She had left the castle and currently walking the road.
"It was like I am back to the former era. Where am I?" she headed towards a vendor.
"Mister, May I know where taxis are taking travel here?"
"Taxis? What are taxis?"
"Then, what is the form of transportation in this place?"
"Horses!"
"What?"
"Horses! Everyone here rides horses to go where they want!"
"Seriously?" she looked around again and asked. "What is the date today?"
"Today is February 12, 1558"
"WHAT? You're kidding right?"
She heard the passing man said "Tomorrow will be Fireworks Festival! Let's go see them."
"Fireworks Festival… Never heard of such festival before." She bow down her head. "I think I should return to the palace."
Kasuga run barefooted back to the palace's gate.
