Author's Note: Hi! Sorry everyone for the long wait Finally, a Tale 6which I see doesn't rezlly looks good at all is submitted! HAHAHA ahaha haha eh-em... let's...er...move ON!

First of all, I'd like to say something to Rosie. 1, I really appreciate those comments you gave me earlier. It helped me realize my errors that I really have many grammar mistakes. When I changed the settings of my spellchecker, it really shocked me that I had actually wrote soooo many mistakes! I really appreciate your help, REALLY! And I do wish in the future if you have time you would write a comment for my stories, just in case I have anymore grammar mistakes. And I'm not at all irritated at your comment, in fact, I'm very happy someone is willing to leave a comment! That means you're reading my story! Thank you!

And for those reading this now, thank you for your supportI think so...! Sorry for the plain name of the title of this chapter, can't think of anything else, hehe

I'd like to explain something in this chapter. Angy, you once told me not to make Leia so perfect right? But now is not the time for her to be, how do you put this, not perfect. But later on, later on I promise to make her, well, a bit, not perfect. I PROMISE! SWEAR TO GOD!

P.S: I will never, ever, go angry with someone who gave me a comment. In fact, I'm flying over the moon when I'm writing this! I can't stop smiling. Don't think I'm crazy though, but I'm really happy someone is willing to take notice of my stories, since this is the very first time I've decided to submit my 'work of art' to fan fiction. Hope those who like KamuixFuuma wouldn't get mad at me, because I'm a, what do you call it, straight. My friend once forced me to read and watch yaoi manga though, and I fainted at the sight of them. Can't help it, because I don't want to 'spoil' the good image of my favorite character in my heartanimated cry

Tale 6: The Room...

Leia followed Kamui quietly behind him. Her eyes seemed to stare ahead of Kamui, feeling nothing and wear no expression on her face.

Kamui kept his pace and thought about just now. When he announced that Freya is to share a room with Satsuki while Leia with him, she stayed calm and cool, sort of feeling nothing about sharing a room with him. She said nothing and kept her cool expression on without fail, making him think a lot about her, as he had never seen a woman like her. He had always thought that women is only a frail creature that is unable to protect themselves, always hoping for a prince riding in a white horse to save them from their misery. Women had always given him those glances to which he loathes greatly, and like always; he turned them down by ignoring them. However, this time, it was different.

He admitted to himself that Leia is the second person that had unconsciously captured his heart. The first is someone who looked exactly like her. Sadly, he never got the chance to tell her his feelings; on top of that, she is the Phoenix Princess whom is responsible for the safety of the world by producing a barrier extracted from her power and strengthened entirely out of her existence. If he takes her as his bride, the world will collapse and all the existence there will perish. In addition, she does not realize he likes her.

As for Leia, there is just something not right about her. There is an air of superior surrounding her, like an invisible wall, protecting the core from harm. Not just that, she was incredibly strong for a woman like her. He had never seen a woman so strong in his whole life. All those things about her just makes Kamui thought about one thing. Is she really a human?

Stopping in front of a magnificently crafted door, he slide open the door and went in first before allowing Leia to come in. What greets Leia behind the door is an amazingly beautiful room with two beds, each situated by the wall. The room was not big and yet not small. It was just nice for two people. There is a large window situated at the seemingly occupied bed adorned with white sheets and bedspread. The windowsill is wide, and it enables one to sit on it while looking out to the view outside the window. The view through the window was like usual, full of uneven earth and large boulders littering the once astonishingly beautiful land of Tokyo.

The other bed that situated directly in front of Kamui's bed was also white, judging from the neat cover; it seems that nobody has used that bed yet. Putting down her things by the bed, she walks over to the edge of the window and stares for a while at the view that greeted her. Turning around abruptly, she asks, "Can I open the window?"

Kamui gave her a nod as his answer. In fact, he was quite surprised that she chooses the window as the first thing she touches in this room. Usually for a girl at her age, they will check for the bed whether it was comfortable or not, if they are not, they will request for a change of mattress. If they are unable to change a mattress, they will then try to act as if they do not mind at all, but later on, they will throw their tantrum in their room, messing up and throwing everything available, cursing loudly. Because earlier he had told them that the room was not like ordinary room, even if you make a very loud noise nobody would hear you. That was a bluff.

A sudden gust of wind and a fragrant smell alerted him. He looks up only to find Leia had already opened the window wide, with her long jet-black hair flying elegantly in every direction. Both of her hand perched softly on the windowsill, enjoying the breeze with her eyes closed. Then it occurred to him that there was this unique smell coming from her. It was not perfume for sure, thought Kamui, breathing in deeply the unknown fragrant smell, and furrows his eyebrows, trying to think about what fragrance it is.

"Orchid." Leia said suddenly. Startled, he opened his eyes only to see her still in her previous position, both hands on the windowsill.

"It was the smell of Orchid, a kind of flower grown only in tropical weather once. I can't seem to wash the fragrance away though...," explained Leia.

Kamui was starting to suspect she had a mind reading power, which enables the possessor to read or hack into other people's mind whenever they want. Determined to test her, he set up a little trick for her.

"How do you know I was going to ask?" said Kamui, eyes narrowing over her, as she gradually turning around to face him with one of her hand resting on the windowsill.

"That expression of yours explains all." Leia answered. Continuing, she spoke in a softer tone, "Everyone asked the same question whenever I was around. I'm just used to it, that's all..."

She is not a mind reader, thought Kamui. A mind reader is usually a very proud person. They take pride in knowing everything around them, and always work as a blackmailer, blackmailing everyone that has something they want. However, Leia only shows her solemn face and cold eyes, quite the opposite of a cheerful and gentle person. However, there is something that is bothering Kamui.

There was never a breeze this gentle and cooling around Tokyo. It was always associated with dusts and rotting smell from the corpses around Tokyo. Even so, it was always a rough and strong one. It had swallowed the gentle and cooling breeze that everyone remembered and become the well-known acid rain that corrodes everything it touches. Not to mention about those mutated creatures the acid rain created. Those vicious creatures are famous for hunting in groups. There was usually a nest somewhere in Tokyo, where the land lay barren with no large boulders. They take the shape of a large mutated earthworm with rows razor sharp teeth. It is easy to kill and slaughter, as it had no defense armor or claws like the other more dangerous creatures. This was one of the food sources in Tokyo, which one had to neutralize the poison contained in its body.

There was another door in the room. Knowing what is that room, Leia ignored it.

The room was obviously a bathroom, or toilet, or possibly both. In such room there is one bathroom, so that means every Knights have their own room and bathroom, of course a more special room is reserved for the Prince. The room was larger, more comfortable and a window with a wide windowsill that has the view of the whole Tokyo. The bathroom is also more spacious. The Prince and the Knights have their control over this floor of the building and the marked this floor as a private floor, which only the Prince and the Knights resides. On this floor, they can have a view over Tokyo, thus guarding any intruders that might possibly try to sneak into the Tokyo Government Building at the brink of dawn. Those intruders might think that everyone in the Tokyo Government Building might still be asleep and they might get a chance to steal the water. From the second they step into the building, they never get the chance to get out of the building.

The sound of several footsteps walking on the tatami alerted both Kamui and Leia. Both turned around to find a Satsuki and Freya, Leia's sister standing beside the door of Kamui's room. Freya was flashing her most brilliant smile and, running to her sister with her hands spread wide, she cried loudly, "ONEE-SAMA!" and fall into her sister's open arms, once again surprising everyone in the room with her high pitch voice. Smiling faintly, Leia said, "Having fun?"

"Yes! Thanks for asking, Onee-sama! Satsuki-san was very nice to me! I like her!" answered Freya to her sister, who had to crouch down so that Freya can speak to her without the need of craning her neck, while Satsuki flinched when Freya said she likes her. That makes her thought of the events just now...

Satsuki brought Freya to her room, without even helping her to carry her things. Freya kept silent all the time and only displayed a smile on her face. This time Freya did not trot, but instead walk gracefully as if a girl should. Freya only behaves childlike in front of her sister, while in front of others she behaved well. Leia had taught and trained Freya how to behave, and Freya had learned everything her sister taught her obediently.

After the long silence, they arrived in front of a room with a wooden plat with a carved name beside it.

"Satsuki" read Freya.

"What?"

Looked up to see her face and pointing to the wooden plat that carved Satsuki's name, Freya answered, "It has your name on it..."

Looking at the wooden plat, she smirked and opened the door, allowing Freya to come inside the room. Goodness how this little girl can read words that difficult, thought Satsuki.

The room has no bed, but instead an almost empty room with a huge closet, a large window, and a door that obviously leads to the bathroom and a traditional Japanese light on the ceiling. She loves traditional Japan, and it seems like well be sleeping with the Futon a type of Japanese bed on then, thought Freya.

Once scanning around and memorizing everything in the room, she got in and put her things in a corner. Then she started to arrange her clothes in an empty drawer she found in the closet. Satsuki was quite surprised that a girl at her age could do all these things by herself. Maybe the situation forced her to be independent, thought Satsuki. When Freya had finished arranging her clothes neatly in the drawer, she stands up and walks towards Satsuki.

"Satsuki-san, I had finished arranging my clothes. Can we go see Onee-sama?"

This girl understands about good manners huh, thought Satsuki. Children her age these days are very lively and cannot seem to stay still for a minute. The lack of open space for them to play and run around had somehow made them a bit more aggressive than normal children do. They cannot leave the Tokyo Government Building alone without a guardian beside them. Children are very precious to the people as they are the future's hope.

Sighing, Satsuki walk towards the door and slide it close, leaving Freya behind her. Freya was unable to 'translate' her actions and stay where she was, all the time staring at Satsuki's back.

Feeling something amiss, Satsuki turned around and found that Freya still stands where she was a minute ago. Irritated, she exclaimed loudly, "Are you coming or not?"

Finally getting the hem of the situation, Freya smiled and trotted happily towards Satsuki. Together, they walk their way towards Kamui's room, and which from outside they heard the sound of windows sliding open...

Smiling to her warmly, Freya wrapped her arms around Leia. Closing her eyes and breathes in her sister's unique fragrance, she said to Leia, "But don't worry Onee-sama, no matter how much I like a person; I still like Onee-sama best..."

Moments later, Kusanagi, Yuuto, and Nataku showed up at Kamui's doorsteps. Nataku was wearing his usual stoic expression and paid no attention to both Leia and Freya, which the both of them had their hands over each other. Kusanagi and Yuuto both smiled towards Freya, who was looking at both of them with her adorable face. When she caught both of them smiling towards her, she smiled back as a sign of respect. She is very cute, thought the both of them unconsciously. Leia sure is lucky to have a sister like her, thought Kusanagi.

Once, Kusanagi had had a very young sister, whom barely looks older than Freya does. He had loved her dearly and cared for her after their parents died. His sister knows that Kusanagi loves konpeitou, a kind of sweets that uses a lot of sugar, which makes it very rare and expensive. The process of making one usually takes seven to 10 days, as they are handmade. She wants to buy it for him, and ended up been hit by an unknown car that took flight upon hitting her. Until today, Kusanagi still carried around a pendant that his sister loved very much. That is why he adored little children, because they remind him of his beloved sister.

"Tell me, why are all of you here?" said Kamui suddenly. All of them sort of received an electric shock and stopped everything they are doing at that moment. Yuuto cleared his throat before he starts speaking, apparently, he tried to make it sounds more informal, but the otherwise happened...

"Kamui, we should go now..."

"Yeah, our food supplies are running low...," continued Kusanagi.

Kamui did not give any response to them, instead, he merely nodded that signifies he is ready, and they were all scattered at once to prepare for the hunt. All but one-person remains standing where he was from before.

"Why are you still here," exclaimed Kamui, "Nataku?"
