Chapter 2
In the house of the Yuukis, they were getting ready for their annual party. Yuuki, a servant, and Mitsukake walked into an open room and Yuuki said to Mitsukake.
"I think that Kishuku is as just much to blame as I am for these civil brawls, we are old, wise men, I shouldn't think it should be too difficult to keep the peace here in Konan, what do you think, Mitsukake?" Yuuki looked at Mitsukake, waiting for his answer.
"I agree with you completely, and it's a shame that the two of your families have been fighting for so long. But, now, what do you say to the idea of me marrying your lovely daughter, Miaka." Mitsukake had his eyes on the lovely Yuuki daughter for as long as he could remember.
"I'll just say what I have said to you many times before, Miaka is still only fifteen, let another summer pass and then she shall be old enough to be a bride." Yuuki said.
"Oh, but even girls younger than her are getting married..." Mitsukake insisted.
"It isn't only my decision you know, Miaka must be willing to marry you, so get to know her first and win her affection. I'm having a party tonight, and you are most welcome to attend." Yuuki told Mitsukake. Yuuki motioned for his servant "Please find these people on this list and tell them to come to my house tonight, come, Mitsukake..." Yuuki and Mitsukake then left to make other preparations. The servant stared at the list that was given to him
"Great, I have to find the people on this list, but there is only one problem, I can't read it" the servant let out a deep sigh, and left to go find someone who would read the list to him.
Chiriko and Tamahome were walking through the streets of Konan when the servant from the Yuuki house apprehended them.
"Please, sir, do you think you could spare a moment of your time and read this list to me?" the servant looked imploringly at Tamahome.
"Sure…" Tamahome snatched the list from the servant's hands and read it out loud to him "Mr. Sato and his daughters, as well as his wife. Mr. Daishito and his sisters; the lady widow of Hitori, Mr. Hinomoto, my uncle Yuuki, his wife and daughters, and his lovely nieces. Tasuki and his brother Shimito. My nieces Akiko… Akari, and Akuri, and my lady's nephew, Nakago." Tamahome folded the paper back up and handed it to the servant.
"Thank you very much," said the servant.
"So…where is this party?" asked Tamahome
"At the house of my master, Yuuki. If you aren't a Kishuku, then please come and enjoy the party! Have a nice day!" The servant left to go inform the guests of the party.
"At the party tonight at the Yuuki's, Akiko, the girl you love so much will be there, I think we should go, and let you compare her face with the faces of the other girls there, and I promise you that you'll find someone who is far more beautiful than Akiko" Chiriko looked at Tamahome, who sighed deeply.
"Fine. I'll go to this party tonight, but I doubt I'll find someone as beautiful as Akiko.."
In the house of the Yuukis, they were getting ready for their annual party. Yuuki, a servant, and Mitsukake walked into an open room and Yuuki said to Mitsukake.
