*~*~*Chapter 3*~*~*
Underground was were they were. Soldiers were chained together being brought threw the trails and finally to a dark castle that had screams coming and evil laughing. They were brought to a room with heavy guards. Here, they placed them into a machine. Once they came out, their eyes glowed red for a split second. A young man sneered with a grin.
"I see that my plan is working." he said. He ran his fingers threw his black hair that went rested at the middle of his ear. His red eyes wondered around.
"Finally, everything will come to be as it once was."
"Lord Damion, everything is set. A new group of soldiers will be taken and these replacing them." said a man.
"Alright. I'm glad everything is turning out greatly." he said with a grin of satisfaction.
.....before the cerimony and ball.....
She was playing the piano softly and then was taken away to where she had to get ready. Ken stayed in the music room. He was ready to go. He picked up a violen and started to play letting the soft music sweep threw the castle He kept playing for an hour. She smiled standing in the door way. He stopped and put it down back where it was. His eyes started from the floor and look up slowly. Her dress was a soft white with a hint of blue sparkles in the light, with no straps. She had a heart necklace, diamond bracelet, and her long hair was up in with something that sparkled when she moved her head up.
"I didn't know you were there." said Ken. He was in a knight suit that they have. The color of it was a dark green with gold on it. His sword hung by his side with the sign of Jupiter on it.
"It doesn't matter." said Makoto. She walked over stood in front of him. Her arms reached up around his neck.
'Oh my god. Is she going to kiss me?' he thought. That thought left his mind when he felt her fingers straightening his collar and suit.
"You're getting too tall. You've got to stop growning." said Makoto as he noticed that she was on her tip toes.
"It's not my fault." said Ken.
"You were always taller than me no matter what." said Makoto and then went back to her small size with her arms wrapped around her stomach.
"That's what always made it fun to pick on you." said Ken. She smiled a little one and then turned at the sound of Minako entering.
"Hi Makoto-chan!" said Minako holding onto Eric's arm.
"Hi Minako-chan." said Makoto with a slight smile.
"So, are you ready for the big night?" asked Minako.
"The ball, yes." said Makoto.
"I know. I'm looking forward to it too." said Minako with a smile.
"I see that you two have hit it off well." said Makoto.
"Sure did!" said Minako with a smile. A guard came in.
"The cerimony is about to begin." he said. They all walked to the room and got ready...
...outside of the castle...
All of the soldiers entered threw the gates and started to replace men. The other men were gaged and chained. They started loading men into a cart. That cart left. Then, slowly, the men went inside while the ball was going on inside.
...the ball...
Ken kept looking over at her off and on.
"Ken, I think you like her." said Eric with a nudge.
"Yeah, right." said Ken turning his eyes over to Eric.
"Why don't you ask her to dance?" asked Eric.
"Alright." said Ken. His eyes wandered around the room to see where she went...
She traveled threw a door and went down the steps slowly. There was some noise and so, she hid behind a bush. Quietly, she heard voices of men and the sound of people being dragged.
"Did you get all the men out the castle?"
"Yeah."
"The carts are loaded."
"Lets get out of here before we're caught. Nobody should find out."
"Alright." The sounds of footsteps trailed off as they walked away. She gasped and quickly got up. She started up the steps and ran into Ken. He caught her in his arms.
"What's wrong?" was his reaction to her look that he never saw. She hugged him with her head against his chest.
"Something is going to happen. I can feel it." she said gently.
"What? What is it?" asked Ken holding her gently.
"At night just keep your room locked up tight. I don't want to loose you as well." said Makoto holding on to him tightly.
"Makoto, what are you talking about?" asked Ken.
"I'll tell you later after I figure out what's going on. Just, don't let me go." said Makoto as close as she could be to him.
"What are you two doing out here?" asked a guard walking down.
"We're talking." said Ken.
"Alright." said the guard and then left.
"Ken, there is something wrong. Something is going on and I don't like the thought about it." she said.
"Makoto. Don't worry. Nothing is going to happen while I'm around. Now, lets go back to the ball with no worries. Okay?" asked Ken lifting up her to look at her with a smile. She smiled back.
"Alright." she said smiling back up at him. He looked at her smiled for a couple minutes and then they walked back.
'I love it when she smiles at me like that....whoa man. Don't start thinking about falling in love with her. You know that she's off limits. Don't even try it.' He was arguing with himself and then brushed off his feelings for her.
