Rini and Goten meet up with MORE people!
big thanks to everyone! hehe, Sorry Princess of the Monkeys, I know what I said might have been offending. You can unblock me from MSN Messenger now... I meant it in a good way, people like stories with no plots... they're easy to follow. hehe okay so maybe just a few people. But telling everyone the story sux isn't going to get anyone to read it. Okay?
On with the chapter!
---------------------------
The Real Me... Not What You Want Me To Be
Chapter 5: The Sprite of the Forest
Rini woke up early the next morning to find Goten stretched on the floor along side her, she blushed and sat up. 'Where am I going? I have no idea where my mom might be. But that was Trista, I'm sure it was the right one too. If Goten... what am I saying? I wouldn't have the guts to do it.' She sighed and sat down on a pew, her back ached all over and she dread the thought of having to walk more later that day.
18 carefully walked down the stairs smiling. "Good morning," she stepped back gasping. "Where's the... who are you?" She asked Rini, pulling her bread knife in front of her protectively.
"I'm Renald," Rini said. "It's a long story. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
18 put down the knife and began cutting a slice of bread for Goten and Rini. 18 handed them to Rini and walked backstairs.
Rini jabbed Goten in the gut with her barefoot. "Wake up."
Goten rolled over and opened his eyes. The church was brightly lit with torches and sunlight from one large window. "What's wrong?" he asked. After a moment of remembering where he was.
"Nothing, but we've got breakfast, I want to keep moving."
Goten sat up and moved next to her on the pew. "Where are you heading?"
"Next town." She said after a minute or two.
He bit into his bread. "Why?"
"I want to see an old friend. he's a blacksmith, I think he might lend us some horses. He does it all the time."
Goten nodded. Even as a girl she wasn't as talkative as he would have hoped for. She sat there silently, chewing her dry bread.
------------------
Trunks stopped on the path. "Shh... someone is following us..." Lita and Yamcha pulled their arrows out and strung them onto the bows.
A shadow jumped from one tree to the next.
"That's what I hate about these woods..." Yamcha muttered. "They're haunted by the witch."
"Don't be stupid." Lita and Trunks said together.
Yamacha sighed and let the arrow rest on his finger. "Trust me, stay on guard."
They moved on, seeing a shadow jump from tree to tree above them. A girl giggled. Yamcha shivered, He wasn't stupid, he listen to all the stories of this forest and it's witch when they stopped to eat at a tavern.
Suddenly they walked into a clearing, their arrows still strung. They gasped as small glowing spheres floated around, giving off a dull, yet bright light. Trunks moved his eyes over to a large mushroom, where beams of light that snuck pass the tall trees hit, there was a woman, a beautiful woman to be exact. She was wearing a small, short, tattered crimson dress with a large blue and gold embroider belt. She had long golden hair, pulled back by a red ribbon. Trunks smiled, and Lita pushed him. Yamcha could be noted off to the side, trying to see up her short skirt, never having seen a woman this naked before.
The woman turned her deep blue eyes to them, "Hello,"
---------------------
Later when Rini and Goten continued walking, Rini heard a slight noise. But, let it pass as nothing more then a bird whistling, for she was untrained in self-defense. Goten, who had grown up near the woods, knew right away it was trouble. He pulled out his sword and stopped. "Rini, hang tight a moment, I'm going to check it out..." and with that he stepped into the thick trees.
Rini stood there twiddling her fingers, she looked up as a large claw like hand came down on her face, knocking her to the ground. She heard murmured voices then what was left of her vision, faded. With darkness surrounding her, she slipped into the wonderful world of forgetfulness, and the unaware day dreamer's land.
---------------------
Trunks tightened his grip around his weapon. Lita stared at the woman a moment longer then fell to the ground as her eyes rolled back. She too, slipped into the painless world of the daydreamer's.
Yamcha and Trunks didn't even notice as their companion fell to the ground. Wings unfolded from behind the woman's back, flexing into long, beautiful red wings, that would seem to be only on a dying butterfly.
She smiled at the men then flew over to them, her wings only patting the air every few seconds. She landed softly on the ground in front of them. She was just a bit taller then the both of them, she smiled and leaned down to them, "I'm Minako, who are you?"
Yamcha choked around a moment or two then managed to tell her, "I am Lord Yamcha, traveling with Prince Vegeta," he bowed.
Trunks only stared at the woman as her wings flapped again, sending air currents at him. "What, are you?" Trunks found the words slipping from his mouth.
"Me?" she asked. She looked behind her then looked back at them and smiled. "I'm a sprite, why are you so surprised?"
Yamcha would have laughed if he wasn't so amazed by her soft voice. "I've never seen a sprite before,"
She smiled and flew over to the sunlight splotched, overgrown mushroom. "I thought so, humans."
----------------
Goten came back, looking disappointed in finding nothing this entirely long, boring trip. "Rini? Rini?"
He searched frantically for her, she was no where to be found. He looked down on the floor and saw all her weapons were neatly thrown across the floor, facing various directions.
\/\/|= |-|/-\\/|= |-||=|,
'Huh?" He thought about it a moment longer, then came to deiced it said "We Have Her" 'Who?'
Sticks lay around also. He didn't realize how long he had been gone.
"Some one took Rini," he said aloud, "But who would want her? she's just a poor girl."
----------------
A man with spiky hair that somewhat resembled a traffic cone and a pine cone, stood on the balcony of the palace. He wore a long navy blue cloak.
A short, stubby man walked out of the fancy bedroom behind him. "Lord Vegeta, we have the report from Juunangou."
The man smiled and turned to face the short man, his features hidden by the rising sun behind him, forming a halo about his head like a saint, which he wasn't. "Bring it to me."
"Yessir," the stubby man hissed as he handed Lord Vegeta a scroll. "Here."
Vegeta sent the man off, 'hmm, the Lady of the Lake directed him to the Witch, Hotaru? hmm, Juunangou, you better not have given out your real name.'
"Doherty!" he yelled and a tall, lean man ran up to him.
"Hm?"
"Did Sir Juunangou return?"
"No sir,"
He frowned then quickly scribbled on the paper. "Send this to him."
The man ran off again.
"He'd better bring my son back, and find the dreaded princess, I can't take over this kingdom without them. If it doesn't work, the royal family is dead." He laughed then sipped some wine.
------------------
A slight giggle came from her left side, she tried to move her head, but it wouldn't move. She pushed her head as hard as she could, she winced as something digged into her cheek, blood began to pour out of her cheek. Another small giggle came from her other side, she tried to move her hand down to her boot, or even into her aromor to grab a knife, but her hands were firmly tied above her. She was angery, it took her so long to even notice she was tied up and beatenly bloody. Giggles carried out around her as she struggled.
"Is, our little human, coming to?" A sand paper like voice asked as a bony finger dragged along her cheek. She tried to pull away from it but found it painful, as a sharp object pierced her skull. She yelped.
The sand paper like voice and a few others began talking rapidly in another tongue. She felt something move near her bottom, but couldn't tell if it was one of the voice belongers or a rat, she silently prayed it was a rat, as much as she hated them.
It was dark, so dark she couldn't even see figures moving along side her. The creatures that had captured her, had tied her up with horse harnesses, chains, and thick rope.
She heard feminine voice yell something out, then all the other, laughing voices, screamed. She felt the air around her stir as she guessed they began to run. The soft pat of barefoot on the ground echoed throughout the halls.
"So what's your name little girl?" The woman asked, there was a slight scratchy noise and a torch was lit. The woman pushed her dark blue hair out of her eyes and moved it back behind her ribbon "You're a cross dresser?"
Rini felt her cheeks go red and blood gushing out of her bloody cheek faster. "I'm," her eyes became blurry and her vision blacken as she entered the thoughtful, yet thoughtless land of dreams and unawakeness.
