XxxX
It has been a whole month sense Yuri and the others left to fight Duke and so far all I know they saved Terca Lumireis, distroying the Blastia's everywhere. Yes I'm happy they did it but...why hasn't Yuri come back? so here I was walking inside the castle to find Estelle that was in her room, she was hesitent to say anything but what she told me made me want to fall to the ground to my knees and cry my eyes out, Estelle told me he was with a girl named Annie, Estelle said sorry but I ignored her and ran out of her room and the castle straight out side of Zaphias and started to kill any monster that came my way even killed ones that didn't notice me yet, I screamed every swing I striked the monsters with my staff (Artimis is it's name) I couldn't take it after killing almost 100 but I must only killed 93 before I collapsed welcoming the blackness that I was hoping to come.
It felt hours sense I must of collapsed and I wasn't hoping to see me laying in a bed, I sat up making the covers fall down from my body. I jerked my head fast to the door to see none other then Duke himself, he walked over some close to the bed.
"I see you have awoken, that was very foolish to keep fighting intill you collapse...what will you comblish if you keep going...?"
"..." I look down at my lap that was covered by the blanket clinching my fists together "Why did you bother saving me..."
"...I see you complish to get yourself killed...I do not understand the reason you did what you did, but do not throw your life away."
I look at Duke surprised he was giving me advice on life? this is kinda shocking but I felt so stupid now infront of Duke
"I'm sorry...Your right Duke, thanks for telling me that advice on life." I smiled alittle at him "I should get back to Zaphias."
I push the blanket off my feet to put my feet on the floor puting my shoes on standing up, before I left I had to thank Duke some how...but what is the quistion so I turn around facing him.
"Duke...I'm trying to think on how to thank you but what is it you want in return...?"
"...I do not wany anything in return but seeing you smile is enough, now you must leave before it get's dark out."
" 'Kay take care Duke, if you ever need anything at all I live at Halure and I'll being going back in two days...ask the Mayor for me."
I walked out of his little cabin/house and walked back to Zaphias, I saw some kids playing asking them if I join them, they happily said yes. I was enjoying laughing and running away from one of the kids that was playing as the evil villian they made me wear a princess dress with a tiara, the crystal was blue saphire and I accedently triped over the feet into someone's arms with armer? I look up to see Yuri's best friend Flynn I snapped out of my thoughts going to say he was kinda cute but relizing I was in his arms making my face red standing up out of his arms. He chuckled at how shy I was being I guess.
"H-hi Flynn what brings you to Zaphias? do you stay over at Aurnion?"
"I was but I was going to see Princess Estellise."
I rasied a eyebrow at him making him nervous
"Is that all Flynn? I think thats not all you were going to do here."
Wait did Flynn blush? "No way! you like Estelle?" he quickly covered my mouth with his hand looking around making sure no one heard that, he uncovered my mouth rubbing behind his head nervously
"I was going to meet her to ask her to see if she'll go to Halure with me but I need help and Yuri told me you live there so I was wondering if you would join me and Estelle if she says yes..."
I couldn't help luagh softly "Of course Flynn! I think Estelle would love to come to Halure, she did say she wants to live at Halure once...so go ask her, I'll stay right here."
"Right...Princess Hanako." I blushed when he bowed down and said that
"S-stop that! the kids made me be the princess! don't make me kick your butt Flynn Scifo!" I watch him running to the duration of the castle leaving me glaring at his back
I huffed annoyed at being called a princess so I sat down looking at the fountin water flowing down I waited for 5 minutes and Estelle and Flynn walked over to me, I stood up smiling and winking at them both, both blushing looking away from me and each other.
"You two got everything? I know I have everything I need."
"Yes, I can't wait to see the Halure's Tree again! I'm so excided!" Flynn smiled at her enjoying her excitment, I smiled at Flynn knowing he likes her snickering at adorable they are
We set out to Halure, it tooked 2 days to get there. I stayed at the Inn in my room I rented out I also rented out another room for only Flynn and Estelle together, I let those two be alone enjoying the love in the air. I was even more annoyed I didn't get a chance to change my clouths sense Flynn ran into me so I guess changing clouths to make kids happy is okay I guess, I brought out the book about the spell that was put on me long ago to read more into it and about this "Love's first kiss" thing. I was reading a page of it when there was a knock on my door.
"Come in!" I see Estelle opening the door and closing it behind her "Is something the matter Estelle?" I sat the book down on the bed
"Um...about Yuri..."
I sighed "It's okay Estelle...it doesn't bother me anymore, if he wants to be with someone let him I can't force him not to..." frowns looking down "Even if I confessed my love for him it will not change..."
"Hana...I think you should go find Yuri and tell him anyways! he needs to know that he's making a mistake of being with Annie, she's not good for him but you are good for Yuri, Hana."
I stayed silent sighed "It's not that easy Estelle...I'm so sick of feeling love for Yuri Lowell...it's a waste of my time."
"Hana please? if you do not tell him you will never get another chance! If you love Yuri as much as I think you do you will find Yuri and push that Annie girl over a cliff..." I blinked at Estelle for was serious at what she said
"Estelle...even if I want to I do not know where he's at in the first place."
"I believe I do Hanako..." I look behind Estelle to see Flynn was standing at the doorway smiling
"F-Flynn?" I was surprised Flynn heard everything I said?
"He's at 'Nordopolica' right now doing the Tournament."
"B-but I can't go! it's to far anyways." I sighed shacking my head sadly "Just give it up you two...Yuri Lowell will never love a girl like me."
I didn't relize what happened intill I felt the sting of Estelle's slap, boy does she slap hard it stings like hell! I put my hand covering my stinging cheek, staring at a angry Estelle even Flynn was wide eyed at her and is scared on the inside.
"Estelle...?"
"I well make sure I get you to Yuri! Flynn we are going to take Hana to Nordopolica!"
Flynn nodded to afraid if he said no he might get slapped by Estelle painful slap.
~At Nordopolica~
Estelle told me to stay at the Harbor while her and Flynn to find Yuri, I stood enjoying the wind blowing through my hair will now short hair, I cut it short 4 days ago I didn't want my hair in the way anymore. I was just enjoying the fresh air.
"Hana?"
I turn around to see Yuri thankfuly that girl Annie isn't around, I smiled waved.
"Hi Yuri!"
"What are you doing here?"
"I can be here if I want Yuri...actly I'm with Estelle and Flynn, they wanted to take me to Halure but Estelle draged both me and Flynn here." I shrugged turning back around facing away from him
"Oh..."
With out looking at him I clinch my fist tight so tight my nails cut through my palm "I waited for you to come back Yuri, I wanted to tell you something very specail and yet you never showed up...and Estelle told me you went off with some ladie named Annie...thats very devistating to hear."
"Really? sorry about that Hana, what were you going to tell me then?"
I clinch my teeth and unclinch them turning around glaring at him "It's to late to tell you Yuri! you should have came back huh? you stupid, jerk! I hate you!" I tooked off running out side of Nordopolica
I ran into a forest close by sat down with my knees agents my chest my face hiding then I started crying ignoreing the rain thats started to pour down. I didn't know how long I stayed like this crying my eyes out, I stoped crying just sitting there.
"It seems we meet in the same way but different this time..."
I look up through the rain to see Duke standing infront of me
"...Hi Duke, sorry. I guess I'm not that stronge enough."
I heard him sigh, It was silent for a while intill I was pulled up by Duke holding my elbow and started to drag me to I don't know but I found out when we got there and it was a city "Aurnion" it tooked three nights to get there, I was confused on why Duke wanted to take me here so I turned my head to my right side to look at Duke who was facing forward.
"Duke. Why did you take me to Aurnion of all places?"
"...I thought to help you with your issues by taking you somewhere to get your mind off of what is troubling you."
I stoped walking Duke kepted walking forward but stoping seeing I had stoped, I was surprised Duke was actly...trying to help me? I was so shocked I didn't hear Duke calling my name intill I felt a gentle jerk on my shoulders snapping me out of my thoughts to see orange eyes staring at my blue eyes I then relize he was almost close enough to kiss...Whoa! hold it! kiss him? why do I suddenly want to kiss a guy like Duke when I hardly know him? I steped back some blushing lightly.
"S-sorry Duke what did you say?"
"...I said if I said something wrong?"
"Oh. You didn't say anything wrong Duke, just cought me by surprised thats all."
I smiled but tilt my head when he looked at me confused with a small frown on his lips...okay I need to stop thinking of kissing the guy.
"Why were you surprised if I may ask..."
"...Will no one actly...does this for me, back at Halure the people there care for me but I try to help them more then myself."
"I see...then will you want to stay the night here...?"
I nodded smiling "Sure! I'll pay for my part." I was going to reach for my small hip bag but then I remembered I left all my stuff back in the Inn at Nordopolica and I was still wearing the princess outfit the kids made me wear "Aww man! I'm such an idiot! I left all my stuff behind at Nordopolica! and now I can't really change back into my normal outfit." I pouted frowning but blinked when I heard Duke chuckled softly smiling just a little
"Your a very amusing girl Hanako."
I turn red when he said that, geeze why does Duke make me blush like this?...men are confusing, anyways me and Duke walked to the Inn Duke handed the guy the Gald for two beds for the night, I picked the bed near the window to the left while Duke choosed the bed right across from mine but sense I can't sleep I guess I'll just stare at the ceiling or when Duke go's to sleep soon I can go outside and count the stars but this time I didn't feel like counting stars this time so I stayed inside staring at something anything even watched Duke sleeping...which I know is kinda creepy but I can't sleep so I just went back to staring the the ceiling intill the sunrises.
