As time went by Sakura took over more and more court sessions but now she always sat behind a screen or covered her face with a fan everyone knew that the longer you hide your face the more beautiful you are. Kokuya, Riluki, Kekijun, Koiuk, and Yunui continued their search for the origins of Akura their mysterious leader of the wolves of the wind. It was now 2 months later since they had decided to learn more about Akura.
"I have also found out that Akura was once the best friend of my lady the Respected Crown Princess Sakura." Kokuya told Riluki, Kekijun, Koiuk, and Yunui excitedly.
" That's great, Kokuya." Koiuk said happily as all of the others nodded cheerfully then they all noticed that Kekijun had a thoughtful expression on his face.
" What is it Kekijun? Why do you look troubled." Riluki asked smiling at him.
" I was just thinking how did you acquire all of that information Kokuyu?" Asked Kekijun frowning.
" Oh my lady told me everything she knew." Kokuya looked at him wondering why he asked.
" Well it seems rather suspicious that she knows so much about Akura." Kekijun said " I was wondering if maybe you could take us to her so we could ask her questions of our own?"
" I really like that idea." Riluki said smiling " So when do you think we can come?"
" I don't know. If you do come you would have to come at night so that know one would be suspicious." Kokuya said carefully. " I will also have to warn her ladyship of you visit."
" Then it's settled we will come three nights from now." Riluki said happily.

" My lady I…" Uh I just wanted to say……." Kokuya tried to say nervously
" What is it Kokuya?" asked Sakura looking up from her paperwork. They were in her office a gift from her father. Sakura as she always did these days she sat behind a screen.
" Uh you know how I told you about how me and a bunch of other wolves wanted to know more about Akura so they are going to come to your rooms tonight." She said looking at the screen like all of a sudden Sakura was going to jump up yelling how she didn't even ask her.
" Well then I would like you to show then to my rooms after I have settled by the window." The princess said calmly as she stood up to leave. Stepping from behind the screen wearing a veil. She walked to the door, which Kokuya opened and walked to the kitchen. The kitchen had been made by her father it was near the royal suite for her mother Shuurei the current empress. As she made some bean buns and some of her favorite tea Kokuya went out to meet the others by the palace gates. When they got to the room where the princess was she was sitting behind a screen by the window sipping some tea when she heard a knock on the door as Kokuya announced the name and titles of the men with her.
" Riluki Cho second in command to the White Wolf and Shogun in the right urign army. Kekijun Jae third in command to the White Wolf and Junior secretary of the department of Civil Rights. Koiuk Hou fourth in command to the White Wolf and top investigator in the investigation bureau (a/n I don't know what the place that Shuurei worked for in the last episodes of season 2 is called). Yunui Ke fifth in command to the White Wolf and the head of the Merchants Guild of this province." Kokuya said slightly out of breath. As they entered the princess shifted slightly and said " Please sit up and have some tea and bean buns. They are the favorite of my father the emperor." She said quietly from behind her screen as the five some bowed respectfully to the princess. " I hear that you would like to ask me questions about Akura." She said as she smiled slightly as they helped themselves to the refreshments.
" We are sorry to have intruded on you at such a time." Kekijun said as all the others nodded their heads in agreement.
" Don't worry about it!" she said giggling. At this all of the guys swooned a bit because her giggle sounded like a tiny bell.
" You guys do know that the only way to court her majesty is to win a tournament." Kokuya said from the side pouring more tea for the princess. When the princess took a sip all of the others assumed that the tea was not poisoned and drank some.
" Well I want to know one thing. What is Akura's real name, first and last?" said Riluki as all of the others looked at the screen expectantly.
" Akura's real name is Akura and if I told you his last name it would be too obvious." Said the princess. So it continued this way each of the wolves would ask a question and the princess would answer.
" Kekijun I just noticed that you have not asked me a question yet." The princess asked curiously. At this all of the wolves turned to Kekijun looking expectedly at him.
" Well what I want to know is how do you know so much about Akura?" Kekijun asked. But before the princess could answer everyone suddenly fell down to the ground asleep.
