A/n: OH MY GOD GUUYYYSSSS, OVER 50 REVIEWS, I'm so happy, and it's all because of you guys! Thanks and enjoy~
Road skipped down the hall a price of candy clenched in her teeth. "A baby girl, yay!" Road pulled the sweet candy from her mouth and grinned widely.
Turning down another corridor, a large bird flew in from one of the open windows. "Hello," She chimed as it landed on the floor next to her. A parchment was tied securely to its leg. "Come here, is this for me?" Road reached down an untied the letter from the birds leg, and when it was untied, the bird nipped at her finger drawing blood. "Stupid bird!" She growled, the shadows around her growing and outstretching towards the bird. When the bird felt the danger, it flew out the window as quick as it could. Growling she opened the letter and turned heel towards her room.
"Hello young Princess,
I have a serious question to ask you. Do you value your friend, the Prince of the Fire Kingdom? If you care about him as much as you claim to, you will come to me. You have one month to leave the castle, and vow to not return! And if you tell anyone, I swear to you, that dear child in our precious Allen's belly, won't live a day outside it's mothers belly!" The whole walk back to her room Road became more and more furious. Someone had the audacity to try and threaten her and Allen. But he hadn't just threatened them, he had threatened Kanda and Allen's child. Looking down at the bottom of the letter, she wasn't surprised at the family seal placed neatly at the bottom.
"This has to stop!" The small girl growled lowly. "I'll take care of him, no matter what!"
"Tomorrow..." Road sighed sitting up against the top of the gate over looking the city within the fire kingdom. The sun was slowly setting, allowing Road to outstretch her shadows over the fire kingdom. She wasn't looking for anything specific, but just decided to over look the beautiful city bathed in the red after glow the sun left behind.
Yesterday, she had gotten another letter telling her where to go, and when to go. Again telling her if she told anyone, the baby's life would be in danger. But on this letter she had learned that the Sakanari heir was after her because she was so close to Allen. She also learned the Sakanari heir: Yuichi Sakanari was deliberately targeting her. But in her own opinion she knew that she would be gone a long time. And she knew she would hurt everyone by leaving on her own free will, but it was for the best and she would take care of the problem her own way.
Jumping down from the gate, she turned to her room. Once there, she grabbed a piece of parchment, and set to work; writing a letter to her Knight, and Allen. Telling them:
"As you may know, I've left the fire kingdom. No, this isn't like one of my little self adventures I would disappear on for a few days, this time I won't be back. I was told not to say, but Yuichi Sakanari has threatened everything we have ever cared about. I am not going to sit by and allow him to destroy everything! I am leaving the Kingdoms, and I am abandoning my position as Princess of the Shadow Kingdom, to keep my kingdom out of this quarrel. To Allen: I'm sorry... But I'm doing this to protect you, Kanda and the baby. Please understand, I know I do love you and I want you to take care of yourselves while I'm gone! To you, Tyki, I want you not to tell the Earl about any of this, till after Yuichi Sakanari is dead! I will kill him but in the process, I might not return... and for that I'm sorry, I love you all!" Road wiped the tears from her eyes as she wrote her letter.
"Road? Are you in here?" Allen's voice came from outside her door. Grabbing the letter, she quickly hid in the shadows of her room; using her element to even hide from her wind using best friend.
Allen opened the door, and looked around. With a hand on his belly, he walked in to take a better look. His face dropped as he noticed she wasn't there. Leaving the room, Road stepped out of the shadows. "I'm sorry, Allen..." She sighed when she knew he was out of ear shot even for his winds. Grabbing her small bag, she set the note down on the bed, and used the shadows of the night to meet Yuichi.
"I'm here," Road growled opening the door cautiously. Immediately a strong scent hit her nose, causing her to drop down to her knees. She covered her nose quickly.
"Is it unbearable?" Yuichi stepped in to her now slightly blurred line of sight and kneeled down in front of her. He grabbed her chin and made her look him in the eyes. She tried her hardest to look in to his mind, but for some reason it wasn't working.
"What did you do to me?" She growled weakly.
"Lights maiden, a potion I made in to a candle. It's used against shadow elementals!" Road growled and Yuichi simply smirked. "I'm gonna use you, child within eternal dreams... Allen will be mine!"
Road couldn't help but whimper slightly at the dominant aura coming off of Yuichi, it made her submissive side want to kneel. It was only the beginning of a very long bad dream.
A/n: Okkaaayyyy, So I hope this summed up everyones confusion... Road has done exactly as Yuichi asked, and went to him... But things aren't going to go the way she wanted them to... Lights maiden, is as I described, it is not a real potion nor is it a plant... atlweast not that I know of xD Oh and all of this took place in the last chapter just to clear things up for you guys! But there you have it, 9.5! Look forward to chapter 10: The baby's coming!
