Chapter 6

'Sup everyone! Finals are officially OVER! Stressing month it has been! Now my mind is cleared of all obstacles which means better writing! Please enjoy chapter 6!

Rin woke up to the delicious smell of breakfast. She sat up and saw Yuki walking to her, carrying a tray filled with food. Rin rubbed her eyes trying to take away the sleepiness away. Yuki set down the tray of food and Rin proceeded to eat it. It was too good.

"Today is a big day Miss. Rin! The Emperor gave us special instructions on how to take care of you today!" Yuki said with excitement.

"Is that so? How come?" Rin asked. She took another big bite of her pancake forgetting her manners. But how could she have manner if she didn't get at least five hours of sleep last night. "I wish I could tell you, but he said it's a surprise!" Yuki replied.

"Oh," Rin said in disappointment. What could the Emperor be planning? "Am I supposed to meet him today?"

"Yep! Out in the garden! He said something about gaining trust? I don't know. But you better hurry! It's almost twelve o'clock!"

Did she really sleep that late? She looked over at the clock and figured that it was true. She was done eating and got up and on proceeded the dressing ceremony. Rin could get used to this! They dressed her up in a peculiar dress. It was black with different colored patches and had a hood on it. She looked like a peasant! But at the same time good looking. The dress was made of silk and was very soft. They gave her matching shoes to put on and opened the door for her.

Yuki lead Rin to the garden. It was a long walk and the silence didn't make it any better. Finally, Yuki broke it.

"Miss. Rin, did something happen between you and the Emperor?" Yuki stopped and looked up a Rin. Rin looked down at her, trying to come up with an answer that a little girl would understand.

"Well," Rin replied. "He did something that ended up hurting me. He felt bad and tried to apologize. I forgave him, but it seems that he really want to make up for it." Rin blushed. Thinking about that night made her feel the pain she didn't grow fond of. The kiss felt great in her opinion, but she knew it wasn't right. They way he kissed her made her felt hot and tingly around her navel. Almost made her leg give out.

"Can I say something Miss?" Yuki asked.

"Um... of course." Rin said nervously.

"Is it that you... well could it be that... you have feelings for Master Len? Like, strong feelings, like Love?"

Rin stood speechless. Her, in love with Len? But she was supposed to love Piko! No, she didn't love Piko. Not at all! But, she was supposed to. Plus she was suppose to marry him!

"I..." Rin choked. She just didn't know how to respond. " I... guess I do love him." Her eyes water up. She had disobeyed her parents. She had fallen in love with some she shouldn't have, and now it was too late! She loved Len...SHE LOVED LEN!

"Don't worry Miss. Rinny!" Yuki said hugging Rin at her small waist. "My mother always told me that when it comes to love, love will always find I way!"

Rin smiled and wiped away her tears. Yes, maybe the was a way. A way to fix this. "C'mon Miss. Rin! Master Len is waiting for us!" And they made their way to the garden.

…...

When they got there, Len was waiting for them. Yuki excused herself and exited. It was just Rin and Len.

"I'm glad you could make it." Len said. Rin noticed that he looked peculiar as well. He was wearing a tight shirt that had fiery designs on it, tight pants and brown boots. His hair was sort of curled and was paler. It had been years since Rin saw that type of style. But for some reason she found it alluring. Rin smiled and said, "Yes, me too."

Len outstretched his hand, inviting Rin to take it. Rin blushed and took it. Len lead her into the maze that lead to the garden. Rin gazed with awe as the maze got prettier and prettier that farther they went in. It was filled with flowers of many colors. She would have been terrified going into a maze because back home she never stood foot in the maze they had. But for some reason, she felt comfort knowing that Len was with her. They made it to the middle of the maze. Rin was mesmerized! Right before her was the most magnificent garden she had ever seen. It was filled with roses and it had a white stone path. In the middle of the garden was a white and pink table set for two.

"Do you like it?" Len asked.

"Oh, it's beautiful!" Rin exclaimed. "Is this an apology present?"

"It's part one of it. Sit, let's eat since it's lunch anyway. Don' t worry, I told them tho make a light lunch, since you woke up so late."

"Oh, yeah. Heh." Rin laughed nervously. They sat down and started to eat the fresh fruits and vegetables. Only Rin didn't really like vegetables and she accidentally made a face.

"You don't like vegetable either, huh?" Len said.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry. I'm a bit childish." Rin said.

"Nah, don't worry! I don't like them so I eat only bits of it."

"I love the fruits though! Mostly oranges!"

"Really? That's interesting!" Len responded with amusement.

After they ate, Len escorted Rin out of the garden. When they got to the entrance Len turned to Rin and said, "Feel free to come here and relax. You can even pick some flowers if you want." and she said, "Okay."

"Don't forget! At eight o'clock meet me at the entrance of the palace! I have another surprise for you!" Len exclaimed.

" Okay, will do!" Rin said, and skipped back to her room.

Welp, here was chapter 6! That means one more chapter until the Lemon/ Smut whatever you call it chapter! Yeah, I need to pick up the pace, because there is a reason why this is rated M. Ha, ha!
