PART VIII – A NEW WORLD

The men [ !!! ] went straight ahead at the special room by the tower. It was a long way at the stairways to walk on to. The room was full of exquisite accessories and mattresses.

The purple-haired guy laid gently the unconscious Melissa on the soft beautiful bed. As she was lying on the bed, she slowly opens her eyes. She saw the sight of the seven men surrounding the bed and awkwardly arose from the bed. The purple-haired guy blasted the other six men [ Gentle on the youngest and on his crush He! He! He! ] so that they would turn back. He handed her a beautiful robe facing back. "Here take it! Your dress is somewhat too bold to look at" The purple haired guy said as he gave the robe.

Melissa immediately took off her detoriated dress and suit on the robe facing back. After a while, "It's okay now. I'm well suited now. Thank you for the beautiful soft robe." She said as the men face her again. "Excuse me, but I would just like to ask where am I now?"

The handsome guy with a long black hair spoke, "You're in the middle of the woods inside our castle."

Melissa was so astonished to he sight. The whole place was much more beautiful than the rooms in the palace of Sairu. Finely decorated and filled with exquisite furnitures and everything.

"I'm sorry. I don't recall any. How did I get here? All I remember is that I was running so fast and then fell on a cliff. I don't recall any after that" Melissa said in a low tone of voice.

"Well, you are almost got the title of Lunch of the Day' of seven tigers roaming around but luckily we have saved you from them" The purple haired guy said with a wink on his face.

The guy with the flaming hair color bowed down in front of Melissa and said, "My name is Tasuki. If you need someone to brighten up your day, just seek out for me and we'll drink sake together." He paused for a while and whisper at Melissa's ear, "By the way, I also burn perverted dwarfs or guys with my tessen." Tasuki grinned as he looks teasingly on the guy with the blue green hair color.

The smallest and the youngest of them all approached Melissa with a tender smile and said, "I'm Chiriko, the youngest and the smartest of all. In case you need to know many things, just approach me and I'll be glad to help you out."

The guy with a shoulder-length dark brown hair approached Melissa and handed down double dozen of beautiful flowers and spoke, "My name is Tatara. I hope that my flowers brighten up your day."

The most handsome [ ??? ] of the guys approached Melissa and said, "My name is Tamahome. I can be your brother, your father or even your lover..." Tamahome paused for a while with a grin on his face rubbing his hand and continued to speak, "With just a good prize!"

The purple haired guy hit Tamahome's head making him cry in pain. "You really don't change, Tamahome!"

The purple haired guy fixed his clothing as he approaches Melissa but was then block off by the most beautiful of them all. "My name is Hotohori. As you can clearly see, the most beautiful of us all!" He paused for a while as he admires his self more on a mirror. "Not to say, the most skilled in sword fighting too."

The rest of the guys sweat drops upon hearing what they heard from Hotohori. Melissa just stares at him. The purple haired guy spoke, "Okay, he's becoming more narcissistic now."

Tasuki and Tamahome touched the purple haired guy's forehead. Tamahome said, "He's fine but I really don't get it!"

"Me? F^&%ing do I don't get it too" Tasuki said scratching his head.

The purple haired guy throws off the two on the wall nearby crashing off the whole place all together.

He then approached Melissa and said, "I'm Nuriko, the strongest of all! In case you wanted a help with boulders of rock or anything that is too heavy for you, just call out Nuriko, okay?" The purple haired guy said as he winks at Melissa. Melissa just smiled at him back.

The guy with the light green hair started to play happy melodies, which Melissa notices on the latter. She looked at him with curiosity on her eyes. Nuriko noticed this and said, "He's Amiboshi, the guy who likes music a lot. I think he's greeting you on his own kind of manner." Nuriko said with another wink.

Melissa spoke again, "But what are you all doing here in the middle of the forest? Don't you think it's dangerous around here being surrounded with different kinds of beasts?"

Chiriko smiled and said, "We're no normal human beings. We're the seven mythical human guardians." Chiriko paused for a while and present his self and his other companions formally. "Tasuki is the guardian of pleasures and mischief. Tatara is to nature, Tamahome is for human emotions and relationships. Hotohori is for beauty, fashion and swordsmanship. Nuriko is to strength and courage. Amiboshi is for music and arts. And I, myself" Chiriko pointed out his self and said, "is the guardian of knowledge and wisdom."

"Oh, I see" Melissa reacted.

Tamahome started asking Melissa's questions. "Okay, you have ask enough questions. Pardon my rudeness but who are you anyway? Why are you half-naked when we saw you unconscious in front of those tigers?"

Melissa breath deeply and said, "My name is Melissa, the princess of Sairu" [ Okay, I have to interrupt this fic but it's really a long narration so let me just point out the important things she said. Melissa told them that his father King Tokaki of Sairu, went on Makai to help out his friend Koenma in the war. Her beautiful stepmother, Soi, made her servant and lastly, use her only human best friend that is also like an older brother to her to rape and kill her. ]

The seven handsome men look at each other. Even though they do not speak the language of the mouth, they all agreed to let Melissa stay.

Tasuki approach Melissa and said, "Well, if that's the case, you can stay here with us for as long as you want. You can be safe here from any harm!" Tasuki went much more nearer to Melissa and whispered, "Just don't get any closer with that money-craver and perverted Tamahome. He's deadly!"

Tamahome approached Tasuki with a mad face and hit him on the head while saying, "I heard that well and clear."

Tasuki face Tamahome with an irritated face and said, "Why did you hit meh?!"

"Well you deserve it!" Tamahome answered teasingly.

Tasuki change reaction and answered him with a teasing statement. "Then you must be guilty of it!"

Tamahome look angrily at Tasuki. His hairs are going up and the symbol on his head brightens up. Tasuki gave him a teasing look in return.

Tamahome started hitting Tasuki, then he kick him punched him and slams him on the wall nearby

[ Just like in the TV series, wherein Tamahome was poisoned poor Tasuki-kun Hey, how bout your bets, guys on who's going to win with the two of them? 20 bucks??? ]

All the other five men, together with Melissa, watch them with huge sweat drops on their heads.

As Tasuki flipped over, he found a chance to defend his self, he immediately showed his tessen and "Lekka Shinnen" Tamahome was toast!

Amiboshi who stopped playing his flute, went in between the two saying, "Guys, please stop!"

Unluckily for him, because Tasuki has Lekka Shinen' again and Tamahome released a ball of chi, hits Amiboshi. Well, it's not that they're mad at him but it's just an accident! "Aaaaahhhh" [ I pity you, Amiboshi! I'm not mad at him he's also a fave of mine it's just that it gets in my monitor typing it down like that ]

Tatara pick a small seed on his pocket and then thick vines grew in it. The thick vines gripped around Tasuki and Tamahome trying to hold them down but the furious men got freed and continued fighting inside the room

Nuriko approached the confused pretty princess and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry princess. Don't worry your room won't be broken into pieces. Maybe it will, if this is an ordinary one. The cracks get easily healed off. So it will all be fine"

"Noit's them" Melissa slowly said pointing to the two men.

"Oh them?! Well, it just sothey're just so" Nuriko paused for a while trying to catch up the words to say. "they're just so energetic! Don't worry about them. They do that everyday"

Melissa nod with a big sweat drop and continued fightingwatching the fight .
