Kindness And Violence
A/N: I feel real happy right now, and nothing can bring me down. Not even bad reviews. Anyway here's my fourth chapter of this story. Thanks for everyone who reviewed. Even Arauni. I read this about 5 times after I wrote it to make sure it was good. I changed the name of the kingdom too. It is now called the Kingdom Of Kami. I know what Kami means also. Anyway R&R Pwease.
I'd like to dedicate this to CheviraLowe. Thanks for sticking by me and liking my stuff. Love your stories too!
Go read her stuff, Goddess Verdict, Ruby-eyed Boy, For the heart of a princess, Untamable Destinies, Disposable Heroes, and It should have been me, along with all her other stories. All great!
Hiead watched his father pace. He decided that it was a rather boring thing to watch. So had Kizna. She kept glancing at the clock. It was almost time to meet the milkman.
"Father is there a reason you called me here? Or was it just to watch you walk back and forth?"
Ikhny tried to suppress a giggle that arose in her throat. She almost succeeded, only making a small squeaking sound. Still it was too much. Koru and Hiead shot her a glare. She shrank back, hiding behind Kizna.
"Hiead have you seen your sister at all, within the last three days?" Koru finally asked.
The boy shook his head. Koru sighed, "then I have come to the conclusion that she has gone missing," he gave his son a grave look, "And I believe kidnapped."
"Damn it! That stupid girl! How could she get kidnapped?!" Hiead ranted.
He stormed out of the throne room, his four servants trailing behind. No one noticed when the last in line, Kizna, had slipped off. She had slipped through the kitchen door as she passed it. The milkman was already there waiting impatiently.
"You're late," he informed her, pointlessly.
"Sorry. It is a little hard to get away from an abusive son of a..." she didn't finish her sentence.
"Got anything?" he asked her.
"Yes actually, it appears the Princess is missing, and they believed that we kidnapped her. I'd warn Zero to be careful. Gner's on a rampage." He thanked her, gave her a smile, and left. Kizna slipped back with the others.
Hiead threw open the door to Teela's room, frightening Leena. She got in a hasty bow before she was shoved back against the wall. (A/N: We all know that's Hiead's favorite pastime pushing people against the wall. **grin**)
"Where is my sister?!" he demanded.
"I... I don't know, sir."
He slapped her and asked again, "Where the hell is my sister?! If you lie to me I will have you killed."
"Really sir I have no clue."
Hiead considered this a moment then let her go.
"Sir, may I ask what you are planning, sir?" Wrecka asked
"Yes. I plan to pay Zero a little visit. Two of you girls are coming. Decide this amongst yourselves." He left the room.
Out of the corner of her eye, Saki saw Ikhny's eyes go wide and her flinch at the mentions of Zero's name. Ikhny then went over to Leena to see of she was okay.
"Do you need to go to the hospital wing?"
"No, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern though. It is not often that you find that around here." The blonde shot a glare to Saki.
"She's a new girl, Leena. I'm sure after awhile she'll look after her own well-being, instead of the well-being of others." The redhead retorted, leaving the room and signaling the others to follow.
Once outside with the door shut Saki took charge.
"Hiead needs two of us to go on this mission with him. He obviously thinks Kami took the princess."
"Do you think they did?" Kizna asked.
"It does not matter what I think. He will no listen to me therefore my opinion is Irrelevant."
"That's not true!" Ikhny exclaimed. All eyes turned to her.
"All people are entitled to their opinions. It's a natural human right. If people no longer had an opinion of their own we would not be free individuals. We would be mindless puppets doing whatever someone said."
Wrecka began to laugh, "Where have you been? You're a servant. You're not entitled to an opinion and you have to do what you are told to do. You are exactly everything you are against."
Ikhny's eyes watered. She blushed at being so forward and took a step back so she was behind Kizna.
"Is that truly what you believe? Everything you just said?" Saki asked.
Ikhny nodded shyly.
"Well then, you can tell the prince, your opinion since you and I are going with him."
Her eyes widened. She couldn't go. She wasn't good with confrontation. And what if someone gave her away? She didn't want to think of what Hiead would do to her if he knew.
"What?!" The other two girls exclaimed.
"Come on, Ikhny isn't cut out for this kind of stuff. Take me. I love a good adventure." Kizna argued.
"If she's not cut out for it, then she could get that way. And what a better way to practice." Kizna glared at her.
Saki led Ikhny to the stables. Hiead was already there on a horse with two soldiers with him.
"You know how to ride? Fast?"
Ikhny nodded and Saki led out two horses. A black mare and a chestnut stallion.
"This is Chloe. She's best with the new ones. Most cooperative. This guy her is Marlin. He's considered my horse." Saki explained.
She showed Ikhny the supply house and the two girls readied the horses. Ikhny liked Chloe. She was a good horse. Obeyed without hesitation. She felt like it was the only friend she had made since she arrived.
"You brought the crybaby?" Hiead raised an eyebrow.
"Yes sir. I believe it might help to toughen her up a bit."
Hiead nodded approvingly. Ikhny led her horse up to Saki.
"I believe that was an opinion you just used with your prince," she said with all the bravery she could muster.
They set out at a full gallop with a slightly aghast Saki. In no time they arrived at the Kingdom of Kami. Zero and a few of his soldiers were writing out there to greet them, with arms wide open. (A/N: Incase no one got that it was sarcasm.) Hiead swung off his horse.
"Enna what did you do with my sister?!!" he snarled.
"Sister? You have a sister?"
"Yes and your people took her!"
"No way! You're just using that as an excuse to attack us! I didn't even know you had a sister. So I couldn't have nabbed her."
"If it is your wish to die Enna so be it. I will not lay a finger on you though until I have Teela back. So you can hand her over now and I'll kill you later. Or I could kill off your people slowly but surely. Your choice."
Teela? Wasn't that the girl he had met a few days ago?
While the two royals had been arguing, two of Zero's warriors had snuck around and had the two servant girls hostage. Saki was calm, acting like it didn't phase her. Ikhny was terrified, trembling and crying. Her shaking didn't help the matter of the knife pressed to her throat.
One of the guys spoke, "Why don't you leave or we'll slit the girls throats."
Hiead's soldiers went to draw their swords but he stopped them.
"Go ahead. I care nothing for them. One I've become annoyed with over the years, and the other is a weakling."
Zero clenched his fists. How is it someone could be so damned cold.
"Let the girls go. They're just innocence caught up in all this."
He gave Ikhny an encouraging, apologetic look, which did not go unnoticed by Saki. Hiead on the other hand was glaring daggers at Zero.
"I'll be back Enna. Count on it. I'll fight to the death to get Teela back. Be prepared."
He got back on the horse and galloped off, Ikhny and Saki behind him, and the two soldiers behind them.
A/N: Did I say that Saki was a motherly figure? Well I lied. If you hadn't noticed she's pretty much a bitch. One reason for this chapter is to show that Hiead cares about people. In his own special way...
Now at the beginning I said I was really happy and nothing could spoil it. I lied again. I am in the bitchiest mood right now. I'm a Buffy fan and I just got finished watching it. My favorite character just got shot in the chest. I don't know if she's dead, but I think she is because her lover goes all evil on everybody in the next episode. So that ruined all my happiness. Spent an hour crying over it. Anyway you don't need to hear about my personal issues. R&R. **notes that I didn't put the pwease. Too upset** By the way Aruani I lied. I didn't even proof read it at all. And I don't give a damn.
