Chapter 14

Baron Humbert von Gikkingen sat as his desk with his mind wandering into space as he let out, "I wonder if she is awake yet?"

Unfortunately for the cat figurine Toto had heard what he had let out as he replied, "I doubt it, Baron. She seemed pretty worn out to me."

The orange and cream furred half cat nodded in agreement as he got up out of his chair and made his way towards the front door. But before he opened it a light blue cat wearing glasses and a kimono could be seen walking around the Refuge outside through the same window that the cat figurine usually would look out of when he would be in his wooden state. Wondering what this visitor could want the greened eyed half cat opened one of the doors and walked outside as he greeted the visitor with, "Hello, is there something that I can help you with?"

Hearing caused the light blue cat to stop his walking as he turned and asked, "Are you the owner of the Cat Bureau?"

"Indeed I am." Baron replied, as he tipped his hat to the cat.

To his surprise though the kimono wearing cat run up to him and got onto his knees as he begged, "Thank goodness I found you. Please His Majesty requires your assistance in rescuing his wife."

The cat figurine did not reply at first as he looked to his right at a red house for a moment. He then nodded his head as he answered, "Please tell the king that I would be more then happy to help him."

"Well, I would but you see the king has already gone off to save his wife by himself." The cat stated, as he stood back up.

Baron was slightly taken aback by this information since he knew that Prince Lune had taken over for his father as King. (although the papers that he received from there did not give much detail as to how or why) But surely he would never rush into something like this without thinking things though. He quickly ran back inside and grabbed his quill as he started to write something down onto a piece a paper. The bird Creation became curious as he asked, "Baron, what are you doing?"

"I'm just leaving a note for our guest in case she wakes up and wonders where we are." Baron explained, as he folder the note slightly and placed it on top of his desk.

Natori quickly got inside and jumped onto Toto's back as he said, "I hope you don't mind this, but you'll have to come with us to save her Highness."

The bird statue just nodded as Baron joined the advisor on his back and as the black crow flow off into the air Baron slightly turned his head to the cat as he asked, "By the way I forgot to ask who are you?"

Natori just adjusted his glasses as he answered, "My name is Natori and I am His Majesty's head advisor."

Baron just nodded as a blue portal appeared up ahead which took the three to the Cat Kingdom. And while sitting behind the Cat Creation Natori thought, "Please be alright Your Highness, because if His Majesty were to lose you then I don't think he would want to continue to live without you."

ooooooo

Reginald continued to run down the dimly lit carven way with Haru still in his arms and when he saw some of his underlings he shouted, "Stop that spineless half cat so that he cannot follow me!"

Hearing this caused Haru to slap him for calling her husband such a thing as "spineless", but the red clad half cat just ignored it as he could see light up ahead which meant that he would be at the edge of the cliff. He then grinned with excitement in his eyes hoping that his plan could work to where the Cat King would fall to his death. Which in turn would make Haru his forever...after she kissed him of course.

ooooooo

Lune just lightly scoffed at seeing more henchmen heading his way. But when they would try to rush him he would either sidestep them or hit them with the hilt of a sword that he found. And once that was done he continued to run down the craven way as a light could be seen up ahead which meant that Reginald would be cornered and had no choice but to give Haru back to him. Once he made it outside he saw the red clad cat stand close to the edge of the cliff as he ordered, "Return my wife to me this instance you scoundrel!"

The brown half cat just slightly turned his head as he snapped back, "You'll have to kill me if you want Haru back!"

"So be it." Lune replied, as he raised his sword and then charged at the other half cat.

To his surprise though, Reginald jumped out of way of the attack making the blue and red eyed glare slightly. The death stare faded quickly when he saw that he was about to collide with Haru. But as much as he tried to stop himself he couldn't and once he bumped into the brunette she let out a loud gasp as she fell off the cliff.

"Haru!" The grayish purple half cat shouted, as he bent down over the edge in fear that perhaps his wife had not grabbed on to something.

He then sighed with relief when he saw that she had grabbed onto a tree branch and was carefully climbing her way back up the cliff. But as she was doing this she saw Reginald standing behind Lune as she shouted in warning, "Lune, behind you!"

The Cat King quickly blocked the brown furred half cat's attack as he coldly said, "How dare you try to trick me into killing my own wife."

The green eyed half cat just chuckled as he tried to charge at the half cat king. But to his surprise Lune just sidestepped him and hit him with one strike of his sword. And to Reginald's horror his monocle shattered into pieces as the blood started to pour out of his right shoulder. He held onto the injured part of his body and dropped his sword as he chuckled and said, "Well, it seems you really aren't as soft hearted as I thought you were. Well played Your Majesty."

He then fell onto his knees in pain, but when he saw that his dagger was not that far away from him he quietly grabbed it. He then watched as the half cat king bent down to try and reach for Haru's hand, but once he did this Reginald tried to make his move and cut Lune's throat. Sadly the blue and red eyed half cat knew what he was up to as he grabbed his right hand and let him dangle off of the edge as he sighed and said, "You know Reginald, I was hoping that I would not have to do something like this, but you have left me with no other option." He then slightly let go of his hand as he added, "Now if I help you back up here will you promise to stay away from my wife?"

The brown furred half cat just chuckled as he answered, "Alright Your Majesty, i will stay away from your wife. But let me give you this as a parting gift." He then stabbed the Cat King in his right hand causing him to yelp in pain as he let go of his hand and just grinned up at him as he continued to fall until you could no longer see if he had landed because of the fog.

Lune then tried to fight through the pain as he lowered his left hand to Haru and said, "Haru, please hurry."

The brunette felt a few tears fall down her face after seeing her beloved get hurt. But she nodded never the less and continued to climb upward. And when she thought that she was close enough to him she stretched out her hand to his as he stated, "I almost have you, Haru."

But unfortunately the side of the cliff that Haru was using for support gave way and crumbled causing the brunette to scream. And as she continued to fell Lune shouted at the top of his lungs, "HARU!"

ooooooo

Reginald looked at the blue sky as he slowly looked around and saw that whereever he was there certainly were quite a few houses as he thought, "I wonder where I am?" He then heard someone gasp and when he turned his head he saw a young woman about a year younger then Haru with long orange hair and purple eyes staring at him as he went on wiht, "This young lady is she perhaps an angel?" The last thing he saw before blacking out was that same young woman running towards him with a look of deep concern on her face.
