"Oh noooo! This is NOT happening!" Ikuko wailed as the entire festival began
to worry over the queen. The guard and her father glanced over to where the
queen had been looking, hoping for some sign as to what had caused her to
faint, and saw the backside of Black Lady running from them.
The innocent villagers were all still and murmuring to themselves, wondering
what was going on. Tanya was afraid and was running through the crowd after
Ikuko.
"Ikuko! Come back! Where are you going?" The small girl cried but could not
be heard over the crowd.
Minako, Makoto, and Juno began to run after who they thought was Black Lady.
Ikuko ran blindly through the crowd who parted before her and ran directly
into someone wearing a wonderful scent of cologne. -Too bad I won't have time
to talk to him.- She thought and then immediately reprimanded herself. This
was no time to be thinking about flirting.
"Excuse me, I'm so sorry for running into.." Her words trailed off as she saw
who she had run into. Tall and fair frame, white hair that never behaved, and
deep amber eyes full of emotion.
"Maiden. You're all right!" He pulled her close in an embrace only to be
shoved to the ground by her.
"They sent you after me didn't they!? You're with them!" She ran off crying
in agony but didn't get but ten feet before she fell, screaming in pain. The
high pitched scream caused all to stare at her and a wide circle to form
around her.
Barton and Hilda ran up to her ready to comfort her but the young woman stood
and stared at them. "Stay away from me! Please!" She yelled at them as she
fell in pain again.
Elios stood and ran over to her. He kneeled and pulled her into his arms. He
kissed her on the forehead and stroked her hair as she shook with pain. "You
can't make me leave you. I will always be there for you. And now that I am
just a normal man I will always be here loving you. You can not stop that."
She stared up at him, her face pale and tears streaming down her face. "Why?"
She asked with a small voice.
"Because you will always be beautiful to me. In spirit, in body, and in mind.
You are my maiden. The woman I have loved from afar since the day I saw her."
The villagers around were touched by the scene and the guard who had just
arrived with their king and queen had no idea what was going on. Hilda was
explaining things to Minako when Ikuko stood.
She wobbled as she tried to gain her strength and she stared at the people
around her. Her body began to glow slightly and the moon crecent appeared on
her forehead.
It was upside down.
***
Pluto sighed and grumbled something about people trying to rush things and
messing everything up.
"I suppose it is time for me to go before they ruin this." She waved her time
key staff and dissappeared.
