WINTER OF MY BEING

CHAPTER I

NEVER FAR BEHIND

Fourteen Years Ago…..

In a beautiful city covered by a cold white mantle, the rays of dawn were visible in the sky. The people were about to get up to begins their routines task. Over time the streets were full of people, the shops open and the children playing in the snow. Not far from the city, in the castle, everyone was awake except for a small four year old boy, who squirmed from his futon. Tired of not being able to sleep again decide to get up.

The little boy stretched like a cat, his light brown hair reached his shoulders, fair skin and an angelic face with beautiful big grayish eyes. His face still half asleep was roused to listen sliding the shoji of his room, revealing a light-haired woman with hazel eyes.

``Rise and shine Yuki-kun´´ said the woman ``Oh Darling you're already awake´´ ``Ohayo mama´´ replied the child with a bright smile ``Come Yuki-kun, the breakfast is ready. It's rice with vegetables and miso soup´´ said the child's mom.

The little Yukimura winded his smile when he heard the mention of his favorite breakfast. He jumped out of the bed and left the room so fast that his mother had not time to catch the child. His father saw Yukimura come at full speed, so when the child passed by his side, he grabbed him. ``Yukimura what I told you about running in the halls? ´´ Father ask with a false angry face, causing Yukimura put an *angry baby face* ``Do not do it because I can get hurt or hurt someone else´´ replied the boy ``Oh come on Yuki changes that face; I'll buy you dumplings later ¿okay? ´´. The boy smiled again, his eyes bright happily and asks ``really are you serious? ´´ Dad nodded and said ``But is a secret, do not tell your mom´´ the child nodded and his dad kissed him in the forehead ``Now is breakfast tim,e so let's go to de dinning room´´ the boy nodded and sat in the arms of his father.

They enter in the dinning room where his other two children and his wife were waiting. The Breakfast was quite and full of happiness, like every day. Yukimura was definitely a lucky child with only 4 years old with parents who indulged his every whim. Even his elder bother and sister *Nobuyuki and Yukiko* always tried to be with Yukimura, although it was difficult because they were learning the use of weapons and martial arts.

Already past noon, Yukimura was walking when suddenly lost in his imagination; he reached the south side of the castle. His parents warned him, he's still to young to walk in that part of the castle. He walks a little further and saw huge doors with beautiful ornaments on it. Yukimura looked around, making sure nobody was there. Also the curiosity was killing him because of the stories that his father told him. He pushed with all his strength and strangely the door opened; revealing the most gorgeous room he'd ever seen in his short life. In the great hall was a beautiful golden chest. He slowly approached to the chest and opened. The sphere left in sight, they were really beautiful.

The sphere that calls Yukimura's attention was reddish that resembling colors alike sunset or fall. Took it in his arms and looked carefully ``absolutely gorgeous´´ he said and then the sphere began to shine and the whole place was illuminated by a blinding light, causing Yukimura drop the ball and cover his grey eyes.

In the North Side of the castle, Masayuki and Yamanote-dono saw the beam emerging from the Treasure Chamber. They took their weapons and ran fast to the Treasure Chamber. They believed some could slip through the servants and reach that cherish room. But when they arrived only found Yukimura without his kimono and behind him was a person. To be exact was a girl; with auburn hair, fair skin, cheerful face and reddish brown eyes. She was naked covered only with Yukimura's kimono. Yamanote-dono surprised to see the girl and asked the boy ``who is she, Yuki-kun? ´´ ``I don't know, mama. She just appeared after the blind light´´ answer the boy. Yamanote-dono looks at her husband and her eyes asked for an explanation.

Masayuki ignoring the gaze of his wife's eyes walk up to his son, crouched next to him to be at the same height ``Yukimura, what name would you like for her´´ Masayuki ask. The boy though fir a moment and the responds ``Aki, because her eyes and hair looks like the autumn; and Hime, because she looks like a princess. Akihime, the Autumn Princess´´. The girl smiled when she at the name ``Well, from now on your name will be Akihime, and you'll protect my boy´´ said Masayuki to the girl. She nodded and said ``I'll never far behind from you, Yukimura-sama´´ and both smiled to each other…
