Once we got through the doors, with four guards following Shun's every move, we met Dan with a very irritated look on his face. I tapped him on the shoulder.
"Something wrong?" I asked him. Dan nodded, obviously troubled.
"I just wish I knew who this thing is," Dan complained, guesturing to Shun standing in front of us. I smacked Dan hard on his back, making him flinch from the impact. He turned to face me with just in time to see me fold my arms firmly across my chest.
"Come on," I whispered harshly "He's trying to help us find Marucho! You're acting like he's Marucho's next science expierement"
"Because he will be if he does find Marucho!" Dan snapped. I then realized how real that situation would become. Shun stepped out onto the tils walkway throughout the courtyard.
"Just, give him a chance" I pleaded, turning back around to face Dan "Please?"
"Well, I guess," Dan agreed, as we both glanced over at Shun. He took his steps ever so carefully, and as silent as a mouse. He had his bow drawn, with the tip of the arrow pointing toward the ground in a secure position. He looked up suddenly.
A beautiful robin, (which is a bird for those of you who don't know what a robin is), flew right above Shun's head, landing peacfully on his shoulder. Dan clung to me as if I were his life force.
"Did you see that?" he shouted, while Shun was carefully brushing the birds wings.
"Yeah," I whispered bewildered. Not a minute later from when the robin landed on Shun's shoulder, a monarch butterfly, flew through the sky, landing on the brim of Shun's hood. Shun slung his bow over his shoulder, letting the monarch crawl onto the tips of his fingers.
"Oh, my gosh," Dan whispered "Nature is in love with him"
I smiled, watching the butterfly run across Shun's fingers. It looked as if it were dancing, graceful movements guiding it through the air. "You got that right," I commented softly "And you don't even know who he is" Dan turned to look at me.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"He's a Prince," I whispered softly into Dan's ear, grining brightly "The Prince of Millennia"
His jaw seemed to fall to the floor.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Dan screamed, as softly as he could.
"But if he's royalty..." Dan trailed off. We all looked up to see Shun pointing to a nearby facility looking thing.
"The lab?" A guard asked confused.
Shun nodded, sprinting for the door, as the butterfly and robin flew upward, but not leaving. Shun drew his bow. We all followed him, coming up closer to the door of the lab. Of course Marucho would be here! It's a lab for goodness sakes!
Shun startled Dan by letting his wings expand to their full extent. He then leaped up into the air, unfurling his wings swiftly, and then lifted upward and soared over the top of the building. He began to circle the building in full, graceful arcs.
"He has wings!," Dan weezed, placing his hand to his forehead. I felt a sickining feeling in my stomach, that Shun wasn't going to come out of this building unharmed. But I pushed the feeling away, not wanting to imagine him getting experimented on by one of his best friends.
I watched upward, as Shun hovered in mid air, aiming his bow for the top of the alarm system. He seemed as if he were about to release the arrow, when he stopped, letting the arrow fall back into place. He held up a finger.
"Better idea," I heard him mutter as he stared down onto the ground.
Shun flew downward, landing on two feet perfectly onto the ground. He then aimed his bow, at the keyhole to the building. When Shun released the arrow, it went flying toward the keyhole, the door opening suddenly.
Shun lowered his bow, guesturing for all of us to come inside.
We walked cautiously through the doors, finding a brightly lit, technicolor lab, full of all the equipment Marucho could find interesting. Shun paused, all of a sudden tense, aiming his bow for a spot of darkness in the lab. His eyes glowed a bright shade of gold, as he frowned thoughtfully.
With no warning, a net, shot out from the darkness, pinning Shun against one of the walls. Only his wings were free from the net. His bow vanished into the thin air, as he took quick breaths, glaring toward air in front of him.
We heard footsteps echoing from the darkness, coming toward us until we could finally see our short, blonde genius.
"I was hoping you would come, Shadow," Marucho crooned, clasping his hands together in one quick, flawless motion.
Dan: Okay... now what should happen next? (looks at notes)
Me: (pushes Dan out of chair) I'm back! And I am so sorry for having to make you guys wait for the next chapter! :(
Shun: I said that I didn't like this part!
Me: Exactly why I mentioned it in the chapter!
Dan: Uh, ow?
Me: Oh, sorry Dan. Okay I will see you guys in the next chapter! Bye! (R&R/ Read and Review) Bye the wya, I really hope you liked the new edited version of this chapter. It took a while to get back to it, but I'm finally able to start the process.
Shun: Great. Now I have to live through this all over again.
Me: (Grins evily and rolls eyes) Right... Just kidding, see ya'll later!
