Chapter 4: Karin's Rage

After the ball Toshiro and Momo we're inseperable, always seen kissing in the gardens, walking in the moon light (heheheh... Pun), and gazing at eachother across the dinner table. Though there was a person who didn't think it was cute, Momo's father didn't like it one bit. He went out of there way to stop them from being so close. Telling Momo to get her school work done, Sending Toshiro on errands, going into a mad coughing fit, absoltly ANYTHING to stop them. Though He did one thing that ended badly.

"Toshiro, my boy, how have you been?" David asked happily in the morning at breakfest.

"Fine your highness and You?" he replied raising an eye brow in suspicion.

"Splendid! It seems to me you never mentioned any friends since we brought you in, so... I took the initiative and invited a few of them over!" He announced.

"And who might that be?" Toshiro inquired.

"Ichigo Kurosaki." he replied with a smile.

"And... Karin." He said.

Toshiro gagged on his own food and looked towards the old king. KARIN!!!!! I hope she still doesn't have a crush on me. Toshiro thought. Just then the butler arrived.

"sir,Master Ichigo and madame Karin are here." the butler said.

"Toshiro, Momo would you show them in please?" David asked.

Toshiro and Momo walked to the door and opened it. There they we're, Ichigo and Karin standing with a grin.

"Hey man, How've ya been?" Ichigo asked holding his hand out.

"Fine and you?" He asked in return with a smirk taking the offered hand, putting his arm around Momos waist.

"Great." he said with a even wider smile when he noticed this.

"Hey Karin," Toshiro said turning to her.

"Who's SHE?" she asked never taking her eyes of Momo.

"This is Momo Hinamori, Princess of Tobuime." he said.

"Toshiro can I talk to you?" they said to him at the same time.

"Uhhh Ok, Momo go back to the table and wait for me."

"Ok" She said kissing him on the cheek before walking away.

"Ok really, A PRINCESS?!" Ichigo said surprised.

"Yeah so?" he replied cooly.

"I new you would get a girl but didn't think it would be the one your supposed to guard!" He shouted.

"That GIRL was supposed to be ME." Karin said angrily.

"Why didn't you tell her you we're mine?" she asked.

"Because I'm not yours and never was so get over it." he replied.

"But I claimed you! I was going to be your wife!" she shouted.

"Is everything all right?" Momo asked rushing to see what the shouting was about.

"No, its not 'All Right', Listen to me Toshiro is mine so back off you slut!" she yelled at Momo.

"What did youn call me?" Momo asked.

"A s-l-u-t SLUT. what are you going to do about it." Karin said laughing at her.

Momo looked up at Karin and the nxt thing she knew Karin was on the floor with a bloodied nose and she was walking back to the table.

"Keep this in mind man, NEVER piss her off." Ichigo said to Momo's suprised boy friend.

"Yeah..." he said walking back to the table. Ichigo put Karin on a carrige back to their castle and went to the table.

"Ichigo, is Karin not coming." David asked.

"Uhhh... no she fainted because of her sickness and I sent her home." he replied glancing to Momo.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The-Night---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A palace guard came rushing into the throne room.

"Sire, A army of 450 men has been sighted on the south bank headed strait for us!" he said in a rush.

"Rouse the soldiers and prepair for defence" The King said quickly.

Masenko and Toshiro we're the first to the throne room and awaited orders.

"Good you two are here I want you to stay with my daughter and protect her." He said as he got ready for battle.

The Brothers rushed to the princesses room where they found her looking outside her window towards the army.

"Momo we have to go they could be here soon." She nodded and as they started to leave they heard.

"Enemies In the Castle!!" from a guard. Soon they heared fighting through out the halls, Toshiro and Masenko quickly drew their blades.

They walked down the corridor with Masenko in the lead and Toshiro next to Momo. They stopped at the corner when they saw shadows, Masenko lept pushed of the wall and flew into battle. Momo peaked around the corner and was captivated as Masenko seemed to dance with his blades in perfect harmony, she was interupted by the shout.

"Lets go!" and with that they rushed down the halls to where the throne was, they soon saw it flaming and ran harder.

When they reached it, they could no longer see the buetifal tapestries and wonderful trophies, all the could see was art destroyed and and a lone man with a long katana standing in the midal. Masenko stepped forward.

"Go down your left corridor." he said as mor enemies rushed up the stairs in front of them.

"What about you?! You can't take every one of these guys." Toshiro said stepping forward as well.

"Step down and leave this to me." he replied.

"But... your the only family I have left!"

"Toshiro, there is a saying that I told you when you we're little. You protect the ones you love first, then you protect your self." he said grabbing his brother by the cloak.

"NOW GO!" he shouted and he threw his brother back, he turned to Momo.

"I love you as I would a sister Momo so welcome to the family, Now I want you to take care of Toshiro." He said with a smile.

"Good-bye..." he said as he hit a support beam and debrie came crashing down blocking they're way.

"BROTHER!!!" Toshiro shouted reaching out as if to grab him and pull him free.

"Please Toshiro... Don't let his sacrifice be in vien." she said as she grabbed him and pulled him down the corridor.

They continued to run but looked back at the burning castle a mile away.

----Masenko's-POV----

Masenko twisted his swords around his opponents and scored a hit taking out his throat. He then jumped of the wall doing a varial flip landing behind his enemies stabing to in the lung. he walked into the center of the chambered and stared at his final opponent.

"It's been so long Masenko, to long." The man said.

"Yes it has Haido Takahashi." Masenko replied.

"It wasa noble but foolish thing you did, giving up your own life so they could live, You know you won't make it out of this." He said laughing.

"Atleast I get to take you down with me" He said as his eyes turned black and his fangs grew.

Haido smiled, it was true but seeing his determination. They charged and it looks like Masenko's blades are doing ther FINAL dance.
