"Ami-chan!" a girl with red hair in a ponytail and bright green eyes called. Entering the library she yelled again.
"Sonoko!" Ami said in a hushed whisper appearing from an aisle, "This is the library!"
"Sorry!" the young girl said and the older girl smiled at her.
"Now, why were you looking for me?"
"I have a favor to ask," Sonoko said, "The new prisoner, he needs to be fed, and I don't want to go down there alone."
"I'll go with you," Ami said, "It that is what you want."
"Yeah, so since you are going to go with me, how bout you just go by yourself because I have some things to do." She said grinning broadly.
"Sonoko…I…" Ami started, but Sonoko cut her off.
"Please, Ami-chan, please, please, please!" Sonoko made puppy dog eyes.
"Ok, ok!" Ami laughed, "But just this once! I am Taiki's advisor, not prisoner feeder, it doesn't look good."
"Oh, thank you!" Sonoko said hugging Ami, "I heard he is a real hunk, you know, he is one of the generals of earth."
"Yeah, yeah," Ami said, "Now go along, I'll take care of it."
"Thanks Ami-chan!" Sonoko yelled as she left the library.
"You are not supposed to yell in a library," Ami muttered smiling as she watched Sonoko sprint away.
Rei wiped the man's forehead of the blood. She had bandaged his head up and was just wiping up the remaining blood. He had pretty handsome features and he looked pretty young. He was probably her age. She sighed. Somehow she knew this man but she couldn't recall where she had seen him before. What was more, she kept wondering why someone would hurt him. There was a knock on the door.
"Yes?" Rei said. A maid entered.
"The mistress has returned." The maid said. Rei nodded and got up to go and see her friend, Iris. She gave one last look to the man and then left the room. She then went up a flight of stairs and then knocked on a door.
"Come in!" a voice called. Rei walked in to see her friend Iris sitting on the bed. She had short honey blond straight hair up to her shoulders and emerald green eyes. Rei smiled at her.
"How was your journey?" Rei asked. Iris wrinkled her nose.
"It was absolutely impossible!" Iris said, "I just can't believe I made it!" Rei didn't answer so Iris stared at her.
"What's wrong, Rei?" Iris asked.
"Uh, well, a couple of hours ago we found an injured man," Rei said, "He's fine now, but I think you should go see him. I don't know why but he look so familiar. He is still unconscious but I thought you might know him too."
"Oh," Iris said, "Fine, I'll come right now then." They got up and Iris followed Rei. When they entered the chambers in which the man was, they saw that he was sitting up.
"Oh my god…" Iris whispered. The man stared at her, confused.
"What?" Rei asked.
"That's my cousin! Seiya!" Iris said.
"Seiya?" Seiya said slowly, "Is that my name?" Rei raised her eyebrows and Iris gasped at this.
Yumeko muttered curses under her breath as she tried to sneak out of Kunzite's ship. She had dressed herself in what was common in villages on earth. Trying to stay unnoticed, she ran away form the dock, pretending that she didn't notice the ship, which was impossible.
"Hey you!" came a voice, "You girl!" Yumeko cursed one last time and turned around, keeping her expression as innocent as possible.
"Um…m…me?" she said.
"Yeah, you." Kunzite said, "Come here." She walked closer to him.
"Yeah?" she asked.
"What are you doing here?"
"Um, my horse, I lost my horse," she said.
"What does your house look like?" he asked.
"Um, it's a bit black and a bit white."
"Not much of a description." Kunzite said raising an eyebrow.
"But that is how it is. A bit black and a bit white." She said, "White like your hair! Yeah! Your hair! And black like my…shoes! Yeah! That's it!"
"Not too bright, is she?" Jadeite suddenly came up behind her. She turned around and looked at him with wide yes.
"No, I am not bright. Not really my colours, you know? So I just stick to dark colors."
At this Kunzite burst out laughing. Jadeite shook his head taking her for some lost villager.
"Go away, girl!" he said. She nodded a little too enthusiastically and then turned around. As soon as she left the landing space, she smirked.
"Idiots," she muttered under her breath, "Now where can he be?" She walked around slowly, reaching into her pocket to get the map she stole on the ship. Looking at it, she realized she wasn't too far from Iris's place, Seiya cousin. She decided to go and give Iris a visit.
"That girl!" Mamoru muttered, "She is so different then all the rest that I have met. There is something about her that is so…sweet and pure…I couldn't even touch her last night…I think I am infatuated with her…" He smiled to himself. There came a knock on his chambers.
"Come in!" he called. Nephrite entered and bowed.
"Bad news, sire," Nephrite said, "Kunzite and Jadeite aren't able to contact Zoicite. We fear he was captured."
"Hmmmm," Mamoru said slowly, "We can only hope that he doesn't give out our secrets now." Nephrite nodded slowly, keeping his face carefully blank.
"Now that girl," Mamoru started, "How is she?"
"She is the same as ever." Nephrite said, "She refuses to eat or drink. She can die like this. Makoto had to force her to eat."
"She is strong willed," Mamoru whispered, "And I will break her will."
"Pardon, sire?" Nephrite asked.
"Nephrite, have you ever been infatuated with someone?" Mamoru asked.
"Yes, sire…not infatuated, but something like that." Mamoru could have bet he saw a faint smile on Nephrite's lips.
"I am infatuated with this girl," Mamoru said, "And I have decided something. I am going to marry her."
"But sire, she will be the Princess then…and she is only a commoner…"
"It's not like I would keep her for life," Mamoru smirked, "Just until I am bored with her. If she can provide me with an heir, then all the better. It'll finally be a way for me to become the king. Prepare her. I will propose her tomorrow evening. See what she says." Nephrite nodded and left.
"We'll see how strong your will is, then, little lady," Mamoru said, closing his eyes, "We'll see."
Outside the chamber Nephrite cursed Mamoru for his cruelty.
Ami slowly descended the stairs toward the "prison room" because usually prisoners were kept in the dungeon but this one was kept locked up in a room. The room had a metal door with metal bars and the only window had metal bars too. She peeked inside and looked at the prisoner. She didn't get a good view of him since he was pretty far away, chained to the wall.
She took out her ring of keys. She had keys to everything single room in the house, except for Taiki's room, of course. She opened the room door slowly and then picked up the tray, which she had placed on the ground. She walked in slowly then placed the tray on a table like box in one corner. She took a good look at him. Sonoko was right he was handsome all right, with curly long blond hair in a ponytail. His face was turned away.
"I will answer nothing." He said, his voice deep.
"I am not here to ask, just to feed you," Ami said slowly. He turned his green eyes upon her, his hair a bit on his face. Ami felt herself blush when suddenly his eyes traveled up and down her body. She picked the tray up and sat close to him, sitting on his side so he won't be able to kick her on anything. His hair came into his face and he moved his head to move it away without succeeding.
"Here, I'll help," she said and reached up to his face moving his hair away. She blushed again, because his green intense eyes were burning holes into her. At least that is what she felt. She looked away. He grinned.
"So how are you going to feed me?" he asked.
"Uh…well…" she reached down for the tray and picked up the soup she had brought. Taking the spoon, she raised it to his lips. He grinned again and drank it. She blushed yet again.
"This will become real hard for you if you blush so much," he said. This just made her blush further and he laughed. After feeding him, and blushing a lot, she went back up to her chambers. Standing there she placed her hands on her cheeks and wondered what was wrong with her. She, smart and bookish Ami, never acted like this. As soon as she entered her room, she realized that it was suddenly nice and warm, a contrast to the cold room downstairs. She took a blanket and then ran back down stairs. Reaching the prison room, she opened the door. He looked up and smiled when he saw it was her.
"I don't need another meal, you know." He told her.
"Uh…no…I just…" she showed him the blanket and then sat in front of him and wrapped the blanket around him gently. Then she moved his hair out of his face again. He was geniunely touched at her kindness.
"Thank you," he replied, "If I had known this was the kind of treatment Kinmoku offers their prisoners, I'd have let myself be caught sooner." He said teasing her.
"I…have to uh…go. Bye," she whispered, mortified.
"Good night!" he called. In her room, she realized that usually she would think this was some type of enemy trap, but she didn't think he was like that. She mustn't think like that, she told herself firmly, but his smile had been sweet. There was a knock on her door.
"Come in!" she called. A maid entered.
"Master Taiki wants to see you." She said. Ami nodded and got up. When she went up to his room, she knocked.
"Come in!" came Taiki's voice. She entered to see Taiki standing with his back to her.
"You wanted to see me?" she asked
"Yes," Taiki said turning around, "Rumor has it that you have taken a liking to our prisoner on his first day here. Is that true?" Ami heart thudded. Sometimes she wondered if Taiki had hidden cameras all over the fortress. She knew she wouldn't be surprised if she found out he did with the way he kept such a close watch on everyone. She racked her brain for an explanation to give the man.
Yumeko: Well, I finished with this chapter. Ok, now I am happy. This chapter took quite a lot of time. Anyway please R/R and tell me how it was………Thanks for all the reviews so far. Gotta run.
