Bunny and the Beast

Kenji looked up startled as his only daughter bolted angrily through their cottage's wooden door, a book and some medicine in hand. "Honey, is everything all right? Your face seems rather red."

His daughter looked up at him with flaming eyes and breathed in slowly to regain her composure. "I'm fine father, simply aggravated. You know how I hate rainstorms."

Her father, being as old and senile as he was believed her excuse and turned to his invention that he had previously been working on before his daughter rushed in. "That's good, Usagi. For moment I thought you were angry at some one."

Usagi shook her head at how naïve her father was and moved to seat her self on the chair in front of the kitchen table. She decided to change the subject. "Father, are you still working on that wood chopper? I thought you had given up on that weeks ago."

"Oh, I did but I decided to work on it again. Quitters never prosper as they always say." A muffled voice called back from with in a large sized metal object.

"Father not to discourage you from your work, but I think that it's unhealthy for you to spend all day and night working on these different inventions. I seriously think that you should start getting out of the house, maybe find someone…"

"Don't you start with me about that. I'm an old man, I don't need a new wife. But you, you're young. You're the one who should start looking for a person to love. You need a husband."

"Father, I may be young but I'm too young to marry. I'm not ready for such a commitment."

"Oh, picosh! You're just the right age to marry. You're seventeen! Why don't you marry that young man, Mamoru? He adores you,"

"Uncle Kenji, don't try to talk to Usagi about marriage. *cough* You know that once her mind is made up, there's no way to change it." A raspy female voice said from the far side of the room. Usagi gasped and ran to the woman, a strict expression on her face.

"Minako! What on earth are you doing out of bed? I thought I told you to get some rest and not leave that room until you're all better!"

"I'm fine, Usagi. I appreciate your concern, but you need to learn to lighten up more! Besides, you're the one who's holding back on the medicine I need."

Remembrance spread across her features as Usagi's cousin said this. Sheepishly she searched through her apron/pocket and muttered a low 'ah ha' when she found it. "Here we go, take one spoon full of this and then it's off to bed with you, do you understand?"

Minako snickered and stuck her tongue out, "Yes, mother."

"Shoo!" Minako ran up the stairs, her nightgown swaying as she did so.

"That girl…" Usagi shook her head.

"Minako's right Usagi, you must lighten up. I tell you what, I'll take care of the housely duties while you take a ride on Ayu. You could get some fresh air and finally stop acting like a mother and start acting like a seventeen year old girl."

Usagi had a look of horror and began to stutter. "B-but Father, th-the rain!"

"Oh stop being such a baby, musume. It's just water, it won't hurt you!"

"I could careless about the rain! The thunder is what scares me…"

"If you're so scared, then take Luna with you, okay? Now enough excuses, go now!"

She pouted but did as her father told her and called her faithful black cat Luna. To most, a black cat would mean terrible luck, to her a black cat meant great luck. Luna bounded into the dimly lit room and hopped up on her master's shoulder, purring the whole time. Then Usagi left the house and headed towards the stable. "Ayu! Come to me, Ayu!" She called when she reached her destination.

A midnight black horse with small patches of white trotted towards her and nuzzled her neck when she reached her. "Are you ready for a muddy ride, Ayu? Don't worry, we won't be gone for long." Usagi grabbed her saddle and all needed essentials, including her hooded cloak and set herself upon the back of her dearly loved horse. Luna was hesitant but jumped on as well. Ayu trotted down the marked path into the woods with a particularly drenched cat and frightened young blonde on her back.

Unbeknownst to them all that their short little trip wouldn't be all that short. In fact, they wouldn't be coming home any time soon if they the Fates had anything to say about it.
