Riku sat on the porch beside Daisuke two days later. The doctor had announced Risa was anorexic. She hadn't eaten for three weeks. The doctor said she was worried about something, or planning something that caused her to forget to eat. Daisuke saw a worried look on Riku's face and wrapped an arm around her. The moon shone brightly on them as they sat there. "It's my fault. I wasn't paying attention." She said. He tightened his grip. "No. She was the one who was supposed to keep watch of if she ate or not." He said. She looked up into his eyes as a wave of reassurance crossed over her. He leaned her head on his shoulder as the watched a falling star crossed the night sky.
Risa sat up in her bed at the doctors. Her plan was working. Now all she needed to day was let the next step take action.
The next couple of days were busy for both Riku and Daisuke. It only seemed to slow down on his visits every other night. Soon, her birthday was upon them. She looked out her window and saw the morning sun. A Knock came at her door and she rushed to open it. It was Daisuke. "As usual." He said walking off toward the porch. She closed the door and quickly changed into proper clothes. When she met him on the porch, he had something hid behind his back. She walked over to him with a smile on her face. "Good morning!" they said at the same time. They smiled at this before Daisuke held out a rose and told her happy birthday. She accepted it and hugged him gratefully. "You ready?" he asked as he lead her out of the cabin. She nodded and let him take her hand and lead her to the gates. "What are we doing?" she asked looking up at them. "I want to show the garden." He said. When it was someone's birthday, they were allowed to visit the gardens with an escort. He led her into the gardens, telling guards that it was her birthday and such. As soon as they entered she let out a gasp. It was beautiful.
Emiko smiled when she saw the young couple enter the garden from her window. The day was all set. Nothing could interrupt them today. Suddenly, she saw a blonde headed figure walking in as well with another person behind him. Something was going to happen and she didn't like the looks of it. She ran down the stairs hurriedly on her way to the garden.
"So that's the girl Prince Daisuke has taken such a liking to." Said Krad as he watched them tour. Mio looked at the ground before speaking. "So there is someone on the way." She said. Krad turned around and faced her. "We'll have to put a stop to it then. We'll also have to tell Koske about her. He could call in a special force to err…help us out." He said. She looked up at him. "Now go to your room. I have work to do." He said as he fixed his gaze on the pair walking around a corner. She walked out as her headed towards them. "Time to play." He said t himself as he got closer.
Riku turned around and saw a Blonde figure approach them. "My, what a cute girl. I see that Daisuke came lucky to have found one as you." He said taking her hand and kissing it in introduction. "I'm Krad." He said, completely ignoring Daisuke. She drew her hand back and wiped it on the back of her skirt. "Riku." She said looking at Daisuke. He gave her a worried look before Krad took her chin and swiveled her head to face him. "My, you do have a lovely face. No wonder he likes you." He said inching Daisuke away from her slowly. "Mind if I show her around the garden Daisuke? Thanks." He said not giving him any time to answer. He pulled her away and basically dragged her to the opposite end of the garden. Daisuke was left standing there. Something was up.
Emiko reached the garden and found Daisuke standing by himself. "Shit. He got to her before I did." She said, getting the attention of her son. He looked questioningly at her. "I think he's planning something." She said before walking off, leaving Daisuke by himself for the second time within five minutes.
Krad stopped at the railing of the garden overlooking the kingdom. He faced her. "Listen, I'm not one to beat around the bush. Keep away from Daisuke. These two kingdoms need to be brought together. Let's put it this way, if you don't end it soon, your existence will." He said before walking off. She stared after him in confusion. She decided it would be her life to end.
It's getting serious now! Just wait till the chapters to come!
