RED ROSES

Today ... it must be the happiest day my life, nevertheless, the longing fills all my being. Today I will become engaged, I will marry with the man who most loves me, has loved and will love. In it, a sad sorrow gets hold of me, since I, simple mortal, I'm unable to correspond this love in everything what this one deserves. My heart belongs to someone else, to my other being, to my great love. Nonetheless today I will leave of side this feeling, and in it, I will make happy the man who really loves me, I will dedicate my life to him, trying to him, the happiness that it is denied to me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Akeryll woke up. It was a very special day for her, or it should be. She approached the balcony and she put it out. Red roses. Red roses throughout, in doors, balconies and roofs of the houses, in streets, lampposts, garlands adorning the trees. Apparently they found out about her preferences to that beautiful flower and wanted to give her a surprise. In deed they had obtained it. Her eyes were shining of happiness, she could not believe that the whole city was doing it for her, only for her. She would not disappoint them. How to do it to someone who deposits all his confidence in you? She noticed a detail, where they had extracted the flowers? They had travelled to the Earth? She did not know it, in fact either wanted to know it.

She returned to enter. It was a great room, was composed by an enormous double bed. She had it since she was of anxious dream, and like that, she was having very much space to give all the turns she wanted. To every side of this one, two bedside tables. On one of them a lamp that once lit it was emitting tenuous and hot light. In the opposite side a cupboard was covering the whole wall. An irony, because almost always she used some jeans and the first shirt that had to the scope. Only in her night exits she was putted the red garment that so much pleased her. In few occasions the target. Seen like that it was really strange, but also she was present at great quantity of dances where, though she was not pleasing her too much, she had to use her garments of "etiquette" that in the main were simple enough and waisted. A screen of, if it was not because there they did not have cherry-trees, I would say that of cherry-tree it was adorning another wall, some clothes were covering it. To its left side a secreter. Her look turned aside towards it. Above it, it was finding a letter without sealing. Her expression was darkened, the tremendous happiness that she was feeling vanished. That was the letter which addressee would never receive. The letter that was taking printed all her desires, even more, the end of these. She took it. She read it once most of many that had done it. And guarded it in a booth under key, any maiden might satisfy their curiosity. She sews in that she was not being interested. She sat down in the bed. Her eyes lost in the emptiness. Her mind remembering that one that might not have. Suddenly an image appeared before her. In a small armchair opposite to the renowned one secreter, in it a precious white garment was lying. Something crossed her body. She stretched and shook off stretching herself completely. The maidens would enter anytime to start brushing her and to arrange her. She had to be marvellous for Raiden. Raiden... so handsome, so tender, so cordial boy. When he looks her, she fells that he can read her interior. He was generous and he always respected her intimacy, he never forced her to tell him anything that she never wanted. In fact, he never forced her to do nothing that she did not want. He loved her too much to do it. And she, she also too... long time ago. She was shaken again. She was starting digressing again. So she said to herself that she had to expire with her duty, and to be left of bilges, beginning for be dressing.



The ladies came little while later, they were not stopping praising her beauty, and though she knew that they were doing it of heart, she could not avoid to feel restrained. They finished and they were out. They made her alone, opposite to the mirror: the garment that was wearing was carved, ended in a long tail. Her arms were remaining covered by a thin transparent fabric and her straight wrist was adorned with a bracelet composed by two red roses. She was not taking jewels; in fact, she did not like it. Only her half moon earrings that for anyone strange reason was never taking from itself. And the day of her wedding was not being going to be less. The black hair, in the light of the Sun with a slight blue tonality, gathered in a deshevelled bun stopping to fall down several locks on her face. It was observed fixedly himself, there was looking each of the details of her gown. She had become stunned, and while, the door of the room was opened entering a girl of violet eyes, she had long coffee hair and exaggerates height. She was taking put a feminine violet suit of jacket, with a white shirt of half a sleeve and steering wheels in the neckline and edge of the above mentioned sleeves.

-Looking at you in the mirror? I never believed you so conceited.

The girl turned round and settled her eyes in those of the speaker. -It surprises you? It's not for less, ¿ you have seen me so arranged at some time?

She arched an eyebrow. -Mmm ... not, it seems to me that not.

-Though Hava... you... don't be less. - She winked an eye involved in a great smile, and because of that Hava get blushed.

-I couldn't be dressed in any form to your wedding, though... when you see Himmel... luck that I stopped her, either the fiancée would look like she and not you.

-Who would look like the fiancée?

Another girl of silver hair, green eyes and dressed impressive, though elegant, in the different tones of her look.

-Himmel! Hava was reporting me that you wanted to take the place from me. - She laughed.

-Hava is an exaggerate. Finally I only have put these poor dressers.

The girls remained face of poker and when they reacted.

-Only a few poor dressers!

Now she was who was laughing. -Well, I see that you are very pretty, Raiden's slobber will fall down when he sees you.

A wicked smile appeared in the face of the alluded one. -Yes ... it waits me a tremendous night of weddings. Ji Ji Ji

They become reddened, even she itself.

-I believe that you should calm down a bit. If not, it gives me the sensation this night will never come.

-I believe that is better you don't speak so much, ¿ or you believe that we don't know what you do in the marsh? Truth, Akeryll?

-Truth, truth.

They exploded in guffaws and the offended became totally red. How they could have spied on her? Surely the noises that heard another night...

Furious. -¿ Did you prosecute me?

Trying to speak between laugh and laugh. -Not, the truth...

Rapidly Akeryll became serious and continued Hava's phrase. - We were only guarding over your safety, it wasn't that you became eating by the wolf. - She continued laughing.

She had said it in a completely ironic tone something that was extracting her of her cabins. Especially because this type of commentaries were corresponding herself. Though... she could not support the laugh of her two morbid companions and Himmel joined. Besides, she was feeling happy. She was not expecting to find happy Akeryll, her maturity had surprised her.

-I believe that we should go away already.

-Not.

This No resounded in their minds as a blow. They had been afraid that it could pass in any moment. (Logically Himmel's thoughts vanished).

-But... Akeryll...

When she was going to open the mouth Hava went forward and interrupted her. - How? For a silly girl you think to leave everything? I was thinking that you had matured but...

-Not! - They had remembered her pain, but she did not though of this one, and did of guts heart. -I only. If I learned something in the Earth is that to makes expect a man and... -she was saying this with hussy's face. In fact only it was her mask, her shield.

They did not leave her to finish, two beasts cured from the mental shock that had suffered, had thrown her to them above how beasts, dragging her up to the car while she, poor person was shouting - Girls! What do you do? You haven't heard me? Give up me!

They put her in a species of floating vehicle and led her to palace.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Someone of doubtful aspect went out of a swan, (a swan? Yes, I mind that it was a swan, though I am not very sure):

-You see? I don't marry like that, I'm horrible, what you have done me...

Hava seized she again while Himmel in a moment arranged her again. Maybe even more beautiful than she was, (one was noticing that she had practical).

-Now, you cannot complain.

-We will wait for you inside. - And she together with her companion Himmel went towards the interior of the "enclosure".

Akeryll started taking full conscience where she was. Before her a great red intense palace was raising investor, defying her, and rather. In a few instants she was going to challenge herself preferring her duty to her heart, and that fantastic construction not towards more that to remember her. She continued looking around it and surprised she realized that a multitude was looking at her with questioning face. Apparently even they had not recovered of the scene that they were ending of attending. She blushed, what they would be thinking... Suddenly she felt someone putting his arms around her. She knew who was...

- Sam! Not in the day of my wedding you can behave?

The high and thin young man, holder of dun eyes and long silver hair, gave up her becoming just in front of her and winking an eye, - Only I wanted to give you the congratulations-. He laughs heartily. (The people remained tried to be recovered of the previous thing, but in view of what was happening it could be impossible). Finally he stretched his arm to her. -Miss, you're very beautiful, ¿ would you wish that I was accompanying to your dear? Or... on the contrary, would you prefer that I was kidnapping you?

-Mmm... let me think... my darling and smart Raiden or one idiot... of so ridiculous name.

-Understood, understood, you haven't to continue. - Sam's complete name was Samum, and he hated it, for it from he was a child, he was not allowing that nobody should call him it this way, only her.

Akeryll took his arm and directed a beautiful smile for him. Sam was one of the men whom more she loved in her life. She knew him from child and among them an unbreakable link had been created. He leaned her always at all time since she was the rebellious girl who was denying to assume her princess duties. More of once she was escaping with him to train with the sword. Still being a girl her power was superior to those of other senshis. In certain way, because she was basing everything on the cultivation of these, forgetting the fact that, even being senshi also she was a princess, and as such, had to learn good manners and to behaving with diplomacy. It was bursting her. Even this way and opposite to any prediction she turned into a two faces pretty lady. Into the meetings or parties, into the diplomatic assemblies, into the advices... she was capable of acting with all propriety and demonstrating a sharp intelligence, but once out of these, she was returning to be the girl of her spoiled jeans that was radiating irresponsibility. It was like that she was.

On his part Sam was feeling full devotion for that person who was defying her duties and whose force was increasing day after day, managing to turn finally into the leader of the Kakyuu guardians. Akeryll was remembering also that he always had courted her, and that she always was evading his words with ironic commentaries. She knew that really he had felt something for her, but she was conscious that this feeling would leave him. So the courtship (passed to be a game between them, being made pass for dear and poor devil. Now he was taking her towards her destiny, it might not have been someone else, because he was her sustenance, her guide.

-My Lady (He was calling her this way to make her furious)- he looked at her, she had became stunned and had stopped walking.

-Ups, jejej- she put her hand in her head and laughed nervously -I was thinking that we are very good friends, at least you're my best friend. - Sam was surprised, though this affirmation was never reality had said it to him directly, was staying understanding. -Well, we enter. Raiden already has to be becoming nervous, is capable of thinking that I have escaped with you. - She winked her eye to him and they entered the palace.

There was foreseen that the ceremony would be celebrated in the interior gardens of the palace. So once penetrated the door they met a magnificent vegetable scene, and in it they had not forgotten to plant on several zones precious shrubs carrying multitude of red roses. Akeryll's eyes were shining before so many beauty. The wedding music started sounding to the pace of her steps. She was looking at side and side recognising the faces of all her dear beings. She was feeling the brilliancy of the village in her cheeks. The end was coming. Every time she was approaching more the altar, where Raiden was looking at her. He looked at her from the same instant that the music sounded announcing her presence. His eyes were denoting an extreme happiness, it was looking like that on his life he never had experimented this feeling with so many intensity. She was returning to him the look, its, on the contrary, endowed with an imperceptible dread, in fact, the happiness of this one oppressed her.

Without realising Sam had already taken her before Him. He gave up her arm, greeted Raiden, who so nervous was unable to declare some word, and put next to Hava. Apparently Hava and Himmel had begun to lucks who would do of godwedding since Akeryll was unable to decide, and well, it won the first doing her role with Sam. For it Himmel was Raiden's godwedding accompanying Faíl... About the bottom she was thinking that she had lost on purpose... She approached Raiden smiling him and taking his hand, she was noticing that to every moment his possession was increasing.

As the sovereign of Kinmokusei, Kakyuu started reciting the words that would join them eternally. None of the two had to give one yes, was not necessary, not in their ceremonies, their spirits were joining without words, only the melody of their hearts.

When Kakyuu finished, Raiden brought Akeryll's hand softly over him and slid among one of her fingers a platinum ring. Akeryll did the own thing and they joined in a passionate kiss as response the acclamations of their friends. Suddenly Akeryll's body started shining detaching a great and hot energy that filled to all transporting them to an unknown world...
