I am like on a role here regarding how many stories I may update before this night is over.
Oh yeah disclaimer thing -sobs- if I owned fruits basket I would so totally love it but I am not that damn artistic, in fact I can't draw to save my life –whimpers and cries in corner-
As they walked through the castle halls, Neko-san suddenly realized just how big the castle was, in fact in the entrance hall alone you could have fit four times the entire amount of members for S.P.U and still have room for another sixty people.
Nezumi-san on the other hand was thinking about the princess, what she would look like and all, seeing as only people in the castle ever got to see her, and trying to describe something to the full extent of their beauty can be pretty damn hard.
However his queries were about to be answered as they all reached a room with golden handles and silver trim.
The only thought in both of the S.P.U agents heads were 'the many rumors have just been broken. She is even more beautiful than mere words can describe.'
Seeing as it was still early autumn, princess Tohru was wearing a yukata with brown and red leaves embroidered into the gentle orange-brown fabric, setting of her amazing brown shoulder length hair, right before playing spectacular contrast to her brown eyes.
But it was her eyes that got to Neko-san. The princess had incredibly sad eyes, eyes that seemed to say 'I'm trapped. Please help me. Please set me free.'
While Neko-san was questioning the sadness within her eyes, Nezumi san was feeling incredibly stupid. He was wearing one of his older uniforms, one of the rattiest in fact, and he had a feeling that if it weren't for the fact that Neko-san were wearing a brand new uniform, he would have just made the S.P.U look very bad.
'Hello, my child. These two young men are your new body guards. And I have brought them here so you may learn every detail of their faces.'
Both of the S.P.U members were thinking at that point 'isn't learning every detail a bit much?'
The Queen caught the confused expressions on their faces and explained.
''Our daughter has become very nervous about meeting new people of late, mainly because; if you know how to use magic you can change your appearance. But not completely, and my daughter has photographic memory of every single person she properly meets.'
"Oh."
The princess stared at the two men for what seemed like hours … then she smiled, and their hearts were at ease, for it was another rumor that said that if the princess smiled at you it felt like you were forgiven for any sin you had ever committed.
This was mainly due to the fact that her highness very rarely smiled.
'I see she has taken to you quite nicely. After all if she smiles at you it means that she feels you are trustworthy. You should both feel honored.'
"Believe me sire, we do."
Your majesty! It is time for your sword practice and it is time for Milady's defense procedure… And who might you two be?
"Oh. We are both members of the S.P.U sir. And who might you be?"
Sire! They could be thieves, robbers, any one disguised as S.P.U agents who are actually working for Demetei! You doing this without informing me is totally irrational and could be putting her highness in a dangerous situation!
During the entire time the royal magistrate, which is who he is, was babbling Neko-san realized that for some reason as soon as the magistrate entered the room, Princess Tohru had lost her beautiful smile and if any thing looked even more frightened and scared.
And in the same moment that Neko-san noticed the princess' fear; Nezumi-san noticed something on the magistrate's neck … a tattoo that symbolizes magic heritage, but in more specific terms, a tattoo symbolizing faith to Demetei.
Within a swift movement the magistrate was dead and he had been killed in a position that showed the tattoo, which was of course known to the king.
At first the Queen did what was instinctive and went to her child's side to protect her if the two men came to her, but she was then told by her husband what was going on.
Apologies soon followed.
''Please forgive my sudden reaction, but it shows that I can have poor judgment to people. I thought that my child didn't smile at him because she was scared of how he always yelled things at us.''
"I was wondering why he thought that what his majesty did was irrational, but it turns out that he thought it irrational only because he didn't have time to inform Demetei."
"I noticed that as soon as he entered, her highness suddenly seemed very afraid. Not only did she stop smiling but she stated to lean closer towards his highness, as if preparing to run. Her highness immediately knew he was danger but as she could not tell you these feelings she did what she could by running."
'Now that I think about it, I didn't have any sword play scheduled for today. And we made sure that Lady Kyoko would not be doing defense procedures today either. He was trying to separate us! So as soon as we got to our training areas he would have been gone with Tohru!'
"it may not be in my position to give these sort of suggestions to his highness, but maybe it would be in your best interests to learn you weekly schedule by heart to avoid this sort of thing in the future.":
"Nezumi-san. He gas arrived. It appears he was expecting to collect a bounty. How close is he to her highness?"
"Not very close but he's moving fast we better go to her highness' aid."
'We'll come too. If that cad thinks he can try to steal my daughter I'll run him through!'
''I will make him endure a fate worse than hell if he puts a hand on her.''
Out of nowhere, the emperor suddenly has a neck cleaver and has another blade at his side, and Lady Kyoko has gotten her hands onto a pair of brass knuckles. Nezumi-san prepares a gun, and Neko-san reveals one of his Katana. Then they run to their fullest might to reach young Lady Tohru's room before it is too late.
