Chapter 5: Problems Yet to Come

Mokona bounced into Eagle's room. He saw Eagle brushing out his hair. Hikaru
was still asleep. Mokona jumped on the bed and shook Hikaru. Hikaru turned over and
saw Mokona. She smiled and picked him up. "Hey Mokona" said Hikaru yawning.
Mokona let out a "puu" and bounced away. Hikaru stretched and sat up in bed. "Hey
Eagle" said Hikaru. Eagle smiled and looked at Hikaru threw the reflection in the mirror.
"How you feeling?" asked Hikaru. Eagle smiled and stopped brushing his hair. "I feel
quite better know" he said. Hikaru had sort of a worried look on her face.
"Don't worry Hikaru I would never do anything to you" said Eagle. Hikaru let out
a sigh of relief. "You better go back to your room and clean up for breakfast" said Eagle
helping Hikaru out of his bed. "I shall see you then". Hikaru nodded and walked out of
the room to her own. Mokona who was playing in the covers wanted to go with Hikaru
but he fell down off the bed and the covers buried him. Eagle laughed as he shut the
door. He picked up the pile of covers and saw Mokona who landed on his head. "Puu"
said Mokona in pain. Eagle picked him up and laid him on a pillow. "Who should take it
easy" said Eagle patting the poor Mokona.

Hikaru walked to her room. She was yawning about half way there. As she
walked down the hallway to her room she noticed the place was quiet. I guess
everybody's at breakfast thought Hikaru. When she reached her room she opened the
door and walked in. She pulled out a black skirt, a white blouse, and a red vest to wear.
She walked into her bathroom and washed up. She dressed and then braided her hair. As
she as about to leave there was a knock on her door. Probably Umi and Fuu wondering
what's taking me so long thought Hikaru. Hikaru opened her door and there was Eagle.
"What are you doing here?" asked Hikaru. "I forgot I wanted to tell you
something" said Eagle walking in. Hikaru shut her door. "Yeah what is it?" asked Hikaru.
Eagle walked over to Hikaru's dresser and looked in the mirror. He looked sadly at
Hikaru and then he turned away. Hikaru walked up to Eagle. "What's wrong?" asked
Hikaru putting her hand on his shoulder. Eagle turned around and face Hikaru. "Hikaru I
have to call off the wedding" said Eagle sadly. "That's okay I understand just in case if
Kyu attacks" said Hikaru. "No!" said Eagle firmly. Hikaru looked confused. Eagle took a
step closer to Hikaru and then another. "I can't marry you" he said sadly. Hikaru let out a
gasp and said "Why?". Eagle backed Hikaru against the wall. He stroked her cheek and
hair.
"If I marry you it'll put you in danger" he whispered in her ear. Tears fell down
Hikaru's cheeks. Eagle wiped them away. "Please Eagle don't do this" begged Hikaru
clutching onto his robes. She pressed her head against his chest. "I love you and Lantis
and you said you loved me to" she said crying. Eagle braced Hikaru's shoulder and
pressed her against the wall. Tears filled her eyes. Eagle tilted her chin and kissed her on
the lips.
As they kissed Eagle pulled a gun from his pocket and sprayed a mystical blue
potion on Hikaru. Hikaru fell into Eagle's arms. "Oh Lord Kyu you are such a great" said
actor" Aoi. Kyu laughed and then turned to Aoi and Tara. "Take are little friend to the
laboratory and hook her up to my new invention" he said giving Hikaru to Tara. Tara
held Hikaru and nodded her head. "Yes, my lord" she said disappearing. Kyu then turned
to Aoi. "Aoi please invite the other two knights to tea" said Kyu with an evil grin on his
face. "Yes my lord but what about you?" asked Aoi bowing. Kyu pulled out Hikaru's
sword. "I'm going to see Eagle" he said evilly. Then both Aoi and Kyu disappeared.

In the dining room Fuu, Umi, Ascot, Clef, and Presea sat waiting for the others.
"What's taking them so long?" whined Umi. "Please be patient Miss Umi" said Fuu. Just
then a familiar laughter filled the room. "LOOK" said Ascot pointing up. Everyone
gasped as they saw Aoi. "You Knights thought you'd seen the last of me but Lord Kyu
has revived my sister and I" she laughed. Aoi laughed and flew down and kicked Fuu in
the face. Fuu flew back hitting the wall. Aoi laughed loudly. "SAPPHIRE
WHIRLWIND" shouted Umi hitting Aoi. Aoi clutched her side. "Get out of her" said
Clef holding out his staff. Aoi backed away.
"Well I'm not here really to fight but to tell you that we have the pyro knight"
said Aoi angrily. "Hikaru" said Presea. Clef held his staff out. "Bring her back or else" he
said angrily. Aoi held her hand out and said, "You can get her back but those two knights
must come to southern Cephiro alone to get her". Fuu and Umi got up ready to attack
with Clef's help. "Hurt me and Hikaru dies" said Aoi. Everyone glared at Aoi. Then Aoi
bowed and disappeared. "What are you going to do?" asked Ascot. "Miss Umi and I must
go to southern Cephiro alone" said Fuu. Fuu and Umi looked at each other and ran out of
the room.

Eagle walked toward the dining hall. Mokona bounced around as Eagle walked.
Eagle laughed as Mokona jumped and did tricks. Just then Mokona stopped and ran in
front of Eagle. "What is it?" asked Eagle. Mokona looked worried down the hall. Eagle
squinted his eyes. He saw a figure walking his way. As the figure came closer Eagle
gasped. "Hawk!" he said to himself. Kyu stopped several feet away from Eagle. He
laughed at his brother and held Hikaru's sword. "How did you get in the castle?" asked
Eagle. Kyu glared at Mokona. Mokona ran behind Eagle. "I got in easy" replied Kyu.
Eagle realized that he didn't have his light sword so he couldn't defend himself.
"I wont fight you brother" said Eagle. "Don't call me that and well that's to bad" said
Kyu attacking Eagle. Eagle dodged the attack. Kyu flew at him in rage. Eagle fell to the
ground in pain. "Time to die Eagle" said Kyu holding Hikaru's sword above his head. He
was about to stab Eagle when someone shouted, "LIGHTING BOLT COME FORTH".
The attack hit Kyu away from Eagle. Eagle saw Lantis standing with his sword. Both
Eagle and Mokona scrambled up behind Lantis.
"Damn it" said Kyu under his breath. "Well Eagle I guess your death will have to
wait, goodbye". With that Kyu disappeared. Lantis turned to Eagle to see how he was.
Eagle looked down sadly. "Please don't hurt my brother" pleaded Eagle. "I care for him
no matter how much he hates me". Lantis smiled and put his sword away. "You have a
good heart Eagle" said Lantis. Eagle smiled and looked up at his friend. Just then Ascot
came running up to them. "Eagle, Lantis" he shouted between breaths. "What is it?"
asked Lantis. "It's Hikaru Kyu kidnapped her and... and Aoi and Tara are back". Eagle
and Lantis's eyes widened. "Where are they headed?" asked Eagle. "Southern Cephiro
Umi and Fuu are going there to save Hikaru" said Ascot trying to catch his breath. Lantis
and Eagle looked quickly at each other and took off down the hall.
