**************************************************************************** ** Koutoku gripped the piece of cloth that was Shunkaku's headband through silent tears. At that moment Koutoku was surrounded by a bunch of men who were heavily armed. It seemed as if they were waiting for someone.
Through his tears, Koutoku heard the sound of horses getting louder. He looked up to see two white horses each carrying someone. On the first horse was a tall, well built man who looked like a body guard. On the other horse was a young man with long blonde hair. When Koutoku saw the blonde, he felt a strange connection to the much older boy.
When the men on horseback reached Koutoku's captors, all of the armed men fell to their knees. Koutoku stared at the blonde haired youth that seemed somehow familiar. When the the man caught him staring Koutoku saw that his eyes were a beautiful ice blue, but also seemed as cold and emotionless as ice. Koutoku quickly bowed his head from the fear of the icy gaze.
Although Koutoku dropped his eyes, the young man did not, he kept staring right at Koutoku. The man elegantly jumped off his horse and walked over to the leader of the men.
Koutoku heard the man speak in an emotionless voice, "You may take off the heavy guard you put on the boy. I shall take him now on orders from the emperor." The leader gave a curt nodd. As he signaled the men parted before the cold stranger.
Koutoku looked up to watch the man approach him. When the man reached him, he stood and looked Koutoku in the eye. *It feels as if he can look right through me and has seen all of my darkest secrets.* Koutoku shivered at the thought.
The man slowly spoke, "You are one of the Seiryu shichi seishi destined to protect the Seiryu no miko. You are the Seiryu seishi Amiboshi. From now on you will go only by this name and no others. You will come with me to the Kutou palace to wait for the gathering of the other Seiryu seishi and the coming of the Seiryu no miko." Koutoku could only nodd at this proposition, for he was very confused.
Out of the silence Koutoku, or rather Amiboshi, spoke, "Who are you and why should you care if I am a Seiryu seishi?"
The man smiled and said, "I am the Seiryu shichi seishi Nakago. I will be escorting you to the palace. Any other questions will be answered after we reach our destination." Koutoku nodded again, while the man named Nakago motioned for him to get on his horse.
In a very quiet voice Nakago said, "I hope you have ridden before," then lifted Koutoku onto his horse, which he shortly a climbed up after.
**************************************************************************** ** After the bad men had taken away Koutoku, Shunkaku was lifted and carried over a huge man's shoulder. Shunkaku was crying and trying to loosen the grip of the man who was carrying him. Until the man stopped.
Shunkaku was quickly dropped to the ground, but the same man who was carrying him quickly took hold of Shunkaku's arm in a strong grip. Shunkaku sobbed in dismay for losing chance to escape. The man simply laughed and pushed Shunkaku over to a group of ragged people.
As they got closer Shunkaku saw that within the group of people there were many that were chained and in shredded clothing. They looked like they were in terrible shape.
As Shunkaku was pushed closer and closer, until it dawned on Shunkaku that the men all around him must be slave traders and that the men were going to sell him and he would become a slave. Shunkaku started to scream and struggle to get out of the clutches of the evil men.
Unfortunately, the men had reached their destination and the man had already started to drag Shunkaku over to the group of chained strangers. The man stopped by a saddle bag and grabbed two items out. In curiosity and fear, Shunkaku tried to figure out what the man was holding and to his horror the man held a set of chains and a gag.
The man quickly chained Shunkaku to the end of the line of all the other prisoners. Then he held the gag in front of Shunkaku's face and said, "If you don't shut up and behave I'll be forced to use this and you don't want that now do you." Shunkaku quickly stopped flailing and fell to the ground and silently cried. "Now that's a whole lot better, although you'll have to get off your ass because we're leaving this burning wreck.
Shunkaku slowly, but obediently stood up. He lifted his head to look at the man with his sorrowful eyes, but he remained silent in fear of being gagged.
