Chapter 6: Heart Locket
"It's nice that you came to help me, lord Kururugi." Nunally smiled as she got another sheet of her lilac scented paper and folded it into half.
"It's my pleasure, princess. I didn't know that you believed in such an old Japanese practice." Suzaku replied Nunally. Awhile ago as he was stationed just outside of Nunally's door Sayako had abruptly opened the door and Arthur jumped from his arms and ran towards the room. Nunally was quickly delighted with the cat and asked Suzaku why he was outside her door. Lelouch had clearly instructed Suzaku to not get his sister worried and so Suzaku made an excuse that he was going to teach Nunally an old Japanese art called 'origami'.
Nunally was excited to learn the art since she loved doing handicrafts, such as painting, weaving, and the like. Suzaku had started his lessons by telling Nunally about the legend behind the paper crane. The girl was enthusiastic to get started at folding a thousand paper cranes in exchange for the one wish it could grant.
Suzaku told Nunally that it was an old Japanese practice and although he knew how to fold a paper crane he didn't know if a thousand of it could actually make wishes come true. The girl however was undeterred by this and asked Sayako; her personal valet for a second opinion. Sayako was of Japanese decent and kindly told her mistress that she had never tried the practice for herself, but it worked for some so she was sure that if the princess was sincere with her wish she would get it.
The three of them were sitting on the table folding paper cranes, just wasting their day away. Suzaku was sitting across the girl so she can mimic his actions just in case she has forgotten, and Sayako sat herself beside her mistress assisting the girl as she played with Arthur.
"Princess?" Suzaku asked Nunally who was cheerfully setting her tenth paper crane aside.
"What is it Lord Kururugi?"
"I'm pretty sure you don't need a thousand paper cranes to get what you wish. You are a princess after all." Suzaku stated as a matter-of-fact.
"Well, if you ask me, I have everything to live a happy life and I'd be selfish if I'd ask for more, but if I have a wish that wish wouldn't be for me."
"If so, why don't you tell that person to fold a thousand paper cranes instead of troubling yourself?" Suzaku suggested.
"It's because he doesn't know his own wish, always troubling himself with making sure everyone gets what they desire. You see he has completely overlooked himself."Nunally once again smiled at him before continuing on her folding. Suzaku could not help but smile back and he was reminded that this innocent young girl was his friend's treasure and strength, and even when they were so far apart from each other Lelouch had always been looking out for his sister. This young princess also saw the vulnerability of her hard-headed and strong-willed brother. For the sensitivity Lelouch lacked his sister had. Indeed, they shared such an unbreakable bond that one has to admire.
"Then, what do you wish for him?" Suzaku asked Nunally.
"It's a secret!" Nunally announced and Suzaku just left her be.
"Did you hear that?" Nunally suddenly asked as she stopped working on her fourteenth paper crane and went to look at her window. Sayako had followed suit and as she cradled Arthur in her arms proceeded to stand by her mistress' side.
"What is it princess?" Suzaku asked as he stood from his seat and prepared himself for someone might be lurking nearby.
"It's a carriage approaching and the family crest is quite familiar."
"Isn't that the Ashford's family crest?" Sayako had commented.
"Aye it is!" Nunally happily nodded in excitement and Suzaku left his place and went beside the two girls to gaze at the window.
The carriage had stopped in front the main door a girl with beautiful golden blonde hair and a deep set of ocean blue eyes stepped out. She was also wearing a turquoise blue day dress with yellow accents.
"It's Milly!" Nunally happily announced to the group.
"Someone's also coming out." Suzaku shared as they saw an orange haired girl with green eyes step out. A cool wind had swept by taking her pink scarf with it. The staff was clearly unloading the chests that the girls carried with them and so the lady was left alone to chase her own scarf.
"Who are they?" Suzaku found himself asking.
"Well, the blonde is Milly a kinswoman of ours, the auburn haired lady is Shirley a close family friend of ours." Nunally had told Suzaku and carried Arthur in her arms.
"Come Sayako, let us greet them." Nunally announced as she prepared to exit her room.
"Wait princess, there's another carriage approaching." Suzaku had told them and Nunally quickly gaze back upon her window.
"I have never seen that family crest drive in here before, but it seems familiar." Nunally had told them.
-(*-*)-_Meanwhile_-(*-*)-
"Announcing, Lady Stadtfeld of France, arriving…"
The doors slowly opened and revealed a young beautiful maiden with fiery red hair that was tied in a neat bun and a pair of deep blue irises enclosed within her slightly almond shaped eyes. Her features were beautiful with a long button nose and full plump lips. She was petite young girl with a tan complexion which opposed the pale-skinned complexion that most nobles possessed.
Lelouch wondered who the girl was as she slowly approached them her lemon colored gown slightly brushing against the marble-tiled floors. Why would someone from France come to visit him or if she came as his mother's guest? If so, she seems quite young to be his mother's friend.
As the lady finally reached them she gave them a polite curtsey and Lelouch returned her curtsey with his bow. Lelouch was about to ask Lady Stadtfeld the questions that bothered him but the lady had beat him to it.
"Good noon, your highness. I am Lady Kallen Stadtfeld of France. I am niece and kinswoman to his royal majesty; the king of France. I came here as requested by his royal majesty queen Marianne of Britannia to meet my betrothed. It's nice to finally meet you, prince Lelouch." Kallen told him and Lelouch at once figured out what was going on.
"Well, uhm, will you excuse me for a moment Lady Stadtfeld." Lelouch excused himself and grabbed Milly's arm and dragged her far enough to be heard but still close enough to be seen.
"Is this why you came? Am I to be married?" Lelouch asked Milly.
"Unfortunately for you, aye, fortunately for me I was tasked by your mother to become your royal wedding planner. Now, isn't this exciting!" Milly exclaimed, and Lelouch knew quite well that exciting for Milly meant troublesome for him. Lelouch rubbed his temples; their stay would take its toll on him.
"This is not a good time." Lelouch breathed. He was already bothered with the prospect of having his own personal assassin, avoiding further development between Euphie and Suzaku, his precious little sister's last minute birthday preparations, overseas trouble and now he has to deal with his own wedding. How troublesome could it all get?
"Is there something wrong?"Milly asked Lelouch.
"Nothing, I can't handle."Lelouch assured her, he was sure he could get his way and fix these all.
"Brother!" Lelouch looked up on their grand staircase and found Nunally, Suzaku and Sayako descending from the stairs.
"Nunally!" Milly beamed and rushed towards the young girl and so did Shirley. The two girls enclosed the young girl I a warm hugged, but was shortly disturbed when a cat meowed at the middle of them.
"Oh my God! Is this your cat Nunally? He's cute." Shirley told Nunally as she scratched the cat's ear.
"Nope, 'Arthur' is owned Euphie, and Lord Kururugi is currently taking care of it." Nunally told them as she pointed at Suzaku.
"Lord Kururugi, huh?" Kallen whispered to herself, Lelouch however her comment and asked…
"Do you know Lord Kururugi, Lady Stadtfeld?"Lelouch asked Kallen.
"Kallen, please, I don't mind informality. No, I don't know who he is." Kallen told Lelouch and Lelouch just brushed her comments off.
"Pardon me brother, but would you care to introduce your guest to me?" Nunally politely asked as she gazed at the unfamiliar girl standing beside her brother.
"Of course Nunally, meet Lady Kallen Stadtfeld of France my betrothed." Lelouch told his sister calmly as Kallen curtsied.
"Oh no, what about C.C.!" Nunally gasped and the three ladies looked at her with quizzical eyes.
"What about C.C.?"Shirley and Milly asked in unison.
"Well, you see…"Nunally was about to explain to them the cause of her dilemma when there came a knocking at the door.
"Announcing, Duchess li Britannia and Lady Corabelle, arriving." The doors opened to reveal two girls, one of them was a pink haired girl wearing a white dress with pink rose patterns and wore ruby accents accompanied by a hazel-eyed lady with long emerald locks with black ribbons as accents; her familiar choker adorned her neck quite well.
"I guess my letter arrived on time." Milly smiled slyly, this was going to be a fun visit. Euphie quickly rushed towards them and hugged both Milly and Shirley; soon the four girls were engaged in a fast-paced conversation. C.C. on the other hand, quietly came forward and stood by Lelouch's side.
"Good noon, Lelouch, it looks like you're going to have a rough day ahead of you."C.C. greeted Lelouch and Lelouch half-heartedly smiled at her comment.
"You have no idea how rough it has been."
"Need help?"
"From you?"
"Sorry, not interested."
"Witch."
C.C. just smirked at Lelouch and then she noticed as certain red head that was not familiar to her.
"Who's the pretty young lady?" C.C. asked Lelouch.
"Lady Stadtfeld, my betrothed, and C.C. we're going to have a talk later." Lelouch told C.C. as he clapped his hands to get everyone's attention as Shirley, Milly, Nunally, Euphie, and Suzaku were already engaged in a conversation and Kallen was left to stare at the paintings on the walls.
"Ladies, if you excuse me Suzaku and I have matters to discuss. I give you liberty to dally at the gardens, explore the rooms or to either retire to your chambers. My staff would be at your disposal if you need them. I am truly sorry that I have not been a proper host but there are princely affairs that I have to look into with lord Kururugi."Lelouch told them as he signaled for Suzaku to leave the room with him and the two gentlemen left for Lelouch's study.
"Lady Stadtfeld would you like to join us for tea in the garden?" Nunally politely asked Kallen.
"Excuse me your highness, but I ask for your permission to allow me to retire to my room" Kallen answered Nunally.
"Well, if it is what you wish, then I hope you'll get a good rest." Nunally told her and the girls prepared to leave and chatted on their way. C.C. however, trailed behind quite uninterested with mindless chatter .C.C. curtsied at Kallen with a 'Mona Lisa' smile before going her way.
"Wait, Lady Corabelle!" Kallen called out.
"Aye, Lady Stadtfeld?" C.C. asked.
"Who are you to prince Lelouch?"
"We're accomplices."
"Nothing more?"
"No more, no less. Lady Stadtfeld, would that be all?"
"No, thank you for your time."Kallen answered C.C., and C.C. just nodded in reply then left.
-(*-*)-_Meanwhile in Lelouch's Study_-(*-*)-
"So, I thought we were going to talk after dinner."Suzaku told Lelouch as he took a seat opposite the prince.
"I thought that I would have to be a proper host for my guest, but it seems these ladies could entertain themselves."Lelouch plainly responded. There were two main reasons why he changed his mind; he wanted to avoid the ladies and two, he wanted Suzaku to avoid Euphie.
"So, where do we begin?" Suzaku asked.
"We begin with discussing my assassin's identity, after which we would proceed to discussing my marriage with Lady Kallen Stadtfeld and I would like to tell you in advance that you shall be my best man."Lelouch told Suzaku as he proceeded to clear his thoughts and prepared to lay out all his observations on the table.
"So wait, you're actually going to marry her?" Suzaku asked.
"If it isn't obvious enough, then aye."
"But-"
"Suzaku, that's enough. As I've said, we'll talk about my marriage after we discuss about my assassin. Okay, let's begin. His physical appearance..."
"He was masked Lelouch, we don't know what he looked like."
"He was, but his eyes were black and his attire could tell us more about himself."
"His attire, well it was a ninja's suit."
"Precisely."
"You're not suggesting-"
"No, I'm not suggesting anything; just pointing out observations and deriving possible conclusions from them. For one; he was wearing a ninja's suit; ninjas are private spies and assassins in Japan. There are three possible angles to this. Number one; he is a hired Japanese assassin. Now why would someone hire a Japanese assassin? His employer could either be a fellow noble of mine or a powerful Japanese. The advantage of hiring a foreign assassin is that communicating would be difficult. If we did apprehend this assassin he would not be able to relate his employer's identity to us."
"Why would a fellow noble man of yours want to kill you?"
"The throne; if I die then the next person in line is my sister princess Nunally. Noblemen could easily become king if they married my sister. Now, I wouldn't let that happen."
"How are you even sure that the assassin is Japanese?"
"I am not sure, but he had black eyes which is the common eye color of Japanese people. Which now leads us to conclusion number two; he is Japanese and he was hired by persons who would like us to think that Japanese people are after me. If I die they could easily blame your people."
"Why would someone like you to think that Japanese people are after you?"
"I have something to show you." Lelouch stood up from his seat and went towards his study table and Suzaku looked on with curious eyes. Lelouch pulled open his drawer and uncovered a leather case and carried it back to their seat and lain it on the coffee table in front of them and sat back on his seat.
"Is this it?" Suzaku asked Lelouch as his gaze fell upon the black leather case.
"Open it."Lelouch commanded Suzaku did as he was told. Suzaku opened it and he found tons of paper in it.
"What are these?" Suzaku asked him as he scanned through the papers.
"Those are status reports from different countries and states Britannia had formed trade alliances with. As of now Britannia is leading in trade expedition trading with almost four hundred states and countries with France as the second largest trader. It is also a report on new voyages and expeditions our sailors are taking. I have been governing these all, now Suzaku, I would tell you the main reason why I was sent to Japan seven years ago; I came as a settlement tool." Lelouch told Suzaku.
"A what?"
'You're father had been scared that many Britannians are moving in and out of your country, including those Britannian settlers. He had asked my father to stop the trading transactions and for Britannia to stop going in your country. The king however would have easily taken over your country, but he did not for it would be risky, even if your country was small. If we took a move to take over Japan other Asian countries that we were trading with would go afraid of foreign traders and that would result to a lot of chaos including for them to stop trading with Britannia. Since Britannia is the largest trader this would cause a lot of lost in our spice trading monopoly. However if we lost to Japan it would not only weaken our trade but would also subdue our empire's image. It's more on the 'Britannian pride' than anything. My father decided to send me to Japan as a political tool. He promised that he will not destroy nor make any move to take over Japan as long as I am there. Now that I am here there had been a few problems in Japan." Lelouch answered gravely.
"Why are you telling me these now?"
"At first I was afraid of what you'd think, but Suzaku you are my best friend." Lelouch answered truthfully.
"And you to me, rest assured I hold nothing against you. Now what's the third angle?"
"Someone might just want to kill me out of spite and used the Japanese concept as a diversion to mislead us."
"Is that all? Now let's move on, why are you going to agree to marry someone you don't even know?"
"She's the niece of the King France; her father is the younger brother of the king of France. France is a powerful country. The French king and queen have only one child, a son. As we heard the prince is sickly like most nobles are. If the crowned prince dies Britannia will have a chance in expanding its empire making it one with France. If however the prince survives we will find an ally with France, in this case both parties benefit."
"In other words a perfect political marriage. But I know you Lelouch, why would you easily agree to this?"
"If I don't, they're going to make Nunally marry the prince. I know my parents are intent in forming an alliance with France, if they're going to use Nunally I won't allow it."
"How about C.C., will she become your official mistress?"
"C.C. and I don't really have anything. We're accomplices, nothing more. I still have to talk with her though."
"I'm not even going to try and argue with you anymore, we all know how futile that would be. I'll be leaving now, if you need anything just scream for my help." Suzaku teased.
"Rubbing salt to my humiliation?"
"Naturally."
"If you must leave, leave now or I'll kick you out of here."
"As you wish your majesty." Suzaku replied with a coy smile and a bow before leaving the room.
Lelouch however stayed on his seat and continued to gaze at his window. As soon as Suzaku closed the door Lelouch stood up from his seat and breathed a whisper to the wind…
"There is however, a fourth angle."
-(*-*)-_Kallen's room _-(*-*)-
"Lady Stadtfeld, would I unload your things?"a blonde haired personal maid asked Kallen.
"Aye Clarice, but don't touch that red chest."
"Very well, Lady Stadtfeld."
"I'll be taking a tour around this castle."Kallen announced as she prepared to leave.
"Then lady Stadtfeld, I should come with you. The queen has entrusted me to-"
"I don't care, I can handle myself."Kallen said plainly and left the room.
As Kallen wondered around the hallways she chanced upon a servant dusting a statue.
"Excuse me, but by any chance does this castle have an arsenal?" Kallen asked the servant.
"Aye, there is lady Stadtfeld, it's at the next building's first floor for fast access. Why is there a problem my ladyship?"
"No, thank you."
-(*-*)-_Seath Castle Gardens _-(*-*)-
"It's so nice seeing you guys once again."Nunally told them gratefully as she took another sip of tea.
"I'm so envious of you Milly; you could travel around the world." Euphemia commented as she feed Arthur with a biscuit.
"But I'm guessing Lelouch's wedding would be far more interesting than all my adventures." Milly replied with a wink of mischief in her eyes.
"Milly, you're depressing me again." Shirley sulked as she let out a heavy sigh.
"Oh, poor Shirley, do your best, okay?"Milly patted Shirley's head.
"Of course, I won't definitely give up." Shirley happily declared.
"Good, I can't wait for all these controversies to unfold. After all a royal marriage can cause a lot of havoc." Milly playfully remarked and the four girls laughed, while C.C. had been sitting quietly all along and did not join in any of their conversations.
"Will you excuse me, ladies?" C.C. asked the group as she stood from her seat.
"Are you alright lady C.C.?" Nunally asked C.C., quite worried.
"I'm alright princess; I just need some fresh air."
"She'll be alright Nunally, maybe she just needs some time alone."Euphie smiled at Nunally.
"I see, I understand, please take your time lady C.C.," Nunally told C.C. with a comforting smile and C.C. worried if they had misunderstood her. But she just wanted to be alone and so she left.
As soon as she left the conversations of the four girls had taken a new turn.
"She must be feeling down knowing that Lelouch will be married soon."Nunally told them.
"When C.C.'s down she never shows it. I know her too well; to know she'll never let me see her cry." Euphie added.
"God, I feel the same way, do I have two competitions for Lelouch's heart then?" Shirley once again sulked in her seat.
"Lelouch, Lelouch, only he can make this wedding more interesting."Milly smirked as she tried to imagine what Lelouch would do next.
"Milly!" The three girls reprimanded her in unison.
-(*-*)-_Seath Castle Meadows_-(*-*)-
C.C. let out a heavy sigh as she sat herself on the green grass overlooking the Seath Castle grounds. She didn't feel like going on a walk in the gardens it was too beautiful for her tastes. All she needed was to see the greens and the tall trees with the sun shining brightly down at her and the cool wind sweeping through her; cold lapsing with heat.
It felt nice and soothing just sitting there alone. She didn't like to linger with the four girls, it's not because she doesn't like them, no, that was not the case. They were so full of life, of hope, love and dreams and they shown with so much radiance of youthful happiness and she feared the shadow of her existence tainted them. No, she isn't like them, she didn't belong with them.
As C.C. contemplated on her reverie she didn't hear that someone had approached her.
"So you're here." The cool voice of the raven haired prince her. C.C. looked up and faced him.
"Miss me? I have to say Lelouch, I think you're growing quite attach to me."
Lelouch sat down beside her and looked her in the eyes with his violet piercing orbs staring into her golden ones.
"There are important matters we need to discuss about the two of us." Lelouch told C.C. seriously.
"You don't have to worry about me, I won't cause trouble between you and you're future bride." C.C. told him indifferently.
"Oh, so you're sure that I will marry her?" Lelouch asked her quite teasingly.
"Of course, I know you too well to know that you'd be an idiot if you won't, and we both know you aren't."
"I know that you wouldn't be a problem C.C., I know you that well, but I am worried what will become of you."
"What are you so worried about? Is it because I was pronounced as your mistress? Do you want to be a perfect example of fidelity? If you do, we can end this lie right now." C.C. suggested.
"I still need you, you're a valuable ally. I don't want to raise suspicion and having you as a mistress avoids questions."
"Do you want me to stay as you're mistress, but my real job will be some sort of comrade, or adviser?"
"Right."
"In other words, you don't want to let go of me."
"Yeah, I guess you're that valuable." Lelouch honestly told C.C.
For a moment the two of them were quiet until Lelouch broke the silence that enveloped them.
"You're still not wearing the choker I gave you." Lelouch remarked as his eyes fell upon the ruby gem of C.C.'s familiar choker.
"Disappointed?" C.C. asked him teasingly.
"Not really,"
"What a shame."
"Why is that?"
"It's my mission to constantly annoy you, seems like I failed."
"So, you aimed to disappoint me."
"I aim to disappoint you all the time, but I wouldn't trade this old thing for that choker of yours. This thing and I share a bond." C.C. told Lelouch as she brushed her fingers over the cold silver pendant.
"Well if one day I become as important as the person who gave you that choker, then by that time you will wear the choker I gave you."
"The question is will you become it?"
"I can become anything C.C.," Lelouch told C.C. confidently and C.C. plucked a few strands of green grass and tossed it at his face.
"You egocentric prince…" She told him quite amused and Lelouch just smiled back at her. Lelouch stood up and held out his hand towards her and C.C. took his hand gratefully and let him pull her off the ground.
"I'll be leaving now; I still need to buy Nunally a gift." Lelouch told C.C. as he prepared to leave.
"Wait, Lelouch."
"Yes?" Lelouch stopped and faced C.C. with quizzical eyes.
"I know it's my fault why you're first gift broke, I think it's time for me to repay you."
"Finally! You're actually going to help me." Lelouch told C.C. almost disbelievingly but they both knew he was just feeling sarcastic. C.C. arched an eyebrow at him…
"I always help you boya, I am you're accomplice after all."
"Okay, how will you help me?"
"Nunally is a simple girl and she loves you very much, I'm sure that whatever you give her she'll be happy. She'll appreciate it more though, if you made it yourself. See this Lelouch…"C.C. pointed at her choker.
"I see that all the time."
"One thing that never gets old is jewelry, women simply treasure it, what more if they're given by someone they love."
"I can't make Nunally a necklace if that's what you're suggesting."
"I know you can't, that's why I'm here."
-(*-*)-_Seath Castle Gardens_-(*-*)-
"And there you have it!" Nunally beamed as she showed them her newly folded paper crane.
"Wow, it's so pretty!"Euphie smiled as she picked up the paper crane and caressed it in her hands.
"A thousand of this for one wish huh, Shirley you should start folding now."Milly teased her auburn-haired friend. Shirley's emerald eyes pouted at them.
"Indeed, I'll need all the help I can get. Princess, teach us how to fold it again." Shirley begged the little girl and Nunally started folding again. As the four girls were having fun doing their little activity, Euphie's eye was caught by a certain red head who was walking down the stone path walk towards the next building.
"I'll be back." Euphie told the girls as handed Arthur to Sayako and followed Lady Stadtfeld.
-(*-*)-_Seath Castle Arsenal _-(*-*)-
"I want to teach you how to melt metal." C.C. told Lelouch as she grabbed and unsheathed an old and slightly rusty dagger from a drawer.
"Oh, and how did you learn all this?"
"I thought you knew that I studied these things instead of just reading romance novels. I actually learned things I'll be needing, it looks like you did not do the same." C.C. told him as she removed the gold bracelet from her wrist.
"Unlike you, I look more into political matters than trying to be a Jack of trades." Lelouch answered as a matter of fact.
"Quite fortunate that I am." C.C. replied as she opened a wooden door that led deeper inside the arsenal.
"So this is the black smith's haven, this is where the blacksmith does his craft. He melts metal in here, creates the tips of the arrows, swords, dagger, and also does repairs. This is where we'll start…" C.C. told Lelouch as she introduced him to the different tools found in cupboards and shelves. When they were abou to begin their lesson Lelouch told C.C.,
"I'm glad I have someone like you, thank you, C.C."
"It's nice having a prince indebted with me."
"A simple 'you're welcome' could have been nice."
C.C. just smirked at Lelouch and they started their lessons. C.C. taught him how to melt metal and gold using her own bracelet as an example for gold and the dagger for metal. Yet she also told him that there were shops in town where he can already buy jewelry materials and he'll just have to learn how to link the chains.
"I'm glad you're catching up well." C.C. told Lelouch in the middle of their activity
"I have always been the best student." Lelouch told her with a grin.
"No boya, I'm just a good teacher."
And so their mindless bickering begins again. Unknown to the two, that all the while someone was watching them.
"Good afternoon, Lady Stadtfeld." Kallen heard someone greet her and so she turned to gaze at her back where a pink haired girl with big purple orbs standing behind her.
"Good afternoon Duchess li Britannia." Kallen greeted her back.
"May I inquire why you're here?"
"Acquainting myself with the palace grounds, I was." Kallen replied her as she averted Euphie's eyes and bit her lower lip.
"Please excuse me." Kallen told Euphie as she turned to leave.
"Wait! Lady Stadtfeld, there are matters that I would like to discuss with you, if you'll allow me." Euphie called out and faced Kallen with determined eyes.
"Of course, we will after all be kinswoman soon."
"You see I would like to talk about my friend Lady Cecaniah Corabelle…"

AN: Next chapter is Nunally's birthday and I would like to tell everyone that we've reached one third of this fifteen chaptered story… so thank you for inspiring me.
Not many people reviews anymore and I miss some of the friends that I made through this fic, I hope to hear from you all.
I'd like to think that it was because many reviewed on chapter 5 before and not because they don't like this fic anymore…
PS: someone requested for Kaguya to show up… who else wants her? (she's not part of the story frame but I guess I could add her)
Please review everyone!
