They found their way out of the cave, and gave a moment of silence to honor
the two dead companions of the hunter. Then they silently made they're way
out of the forest, and towards the blacksmith Rini had been talking about.
Goten felt like he was the only one who really knew where he was going.
Trunks, bright young hunter, seemed to be wandering about, just like Rini.
Goten had to admit it to himself, he liked the girl. Sure, she might have
lied to him, but she was something special. Her rudeness at times was cute
in it's own way, her lack of knowledge about farms was humorous, and her
outward appearance was beautiful. It was something he couldn't quiet
understand.
When they got to the blacksmith, they met a man named Haruka, he had charming dirty blond hair, and bright dark blue eyes, he wore plain peasant clothes. His face, clothes, and body was covered in soot. Ut when he spotted the girl with the shocking pick hair, next to the boy with long lilac hair, and a boy with gravity-defying black hair, he stopped all he was doing, dropped down to one knee, grabbed the girls hand, and kissed it in respect.
"Fair maiden," he whispered. "What honor do I have to serve you once again."
She blushed, and pulled her hand back shyly, "Oh humble Haruka, always a friend of my mother, and the kingdom. We must talk in private, if you wish to understand all."
"For you, anything. I will see you in the shop, after I finish this man's last horseshoe."
"We have all afternoon, take as long as you will." She smiled and walked into the shop he was pointing too. "Trunks, Goten, come on."
They sat themselves in the small shop filled the metals of all kinds. "Rini," Goten asked. She looked up. "How do you know this guy?"
"Err, well, he's kind of related to me."
"Really," Trunks stated as he looked around, "How?"
"Well through my step mother of course."
Goten looked at her oddly, "You didn't tell me your father remarried."
She nodded slightly, "Well yeah."
That changed some of his perspective about her. She was no longer the girl who had lost her mother but possibly her father as well. Yes, he was alive still, but it seems her father believed her mother was gone, hhe had given up hope. Rini made it sound as if, she were a fairy or something. If you don't believe in her, she'd die. Goten shivered at the thought, and pulled the sleeves of his shirt a bit more, this can't go on much longer, my instincts tell me to let her know, but I can't. not with Trunks here.
Rini looked at him with her big blue eyes, which were rather amazing, one reason was, they held so much emotion, and the other, they changed colors, odd as it sounded they changed colors from red to blue. But as she looked at him, she gave him a nervous smile. He blushed and smiled back slightly, then quickly looked away. He had to tell her, but Trunks wouldn't understand.
Haruka walked in. "So Usa-" She shot him a quick glare. "So what do you need help with?"
"We need some horses. One will be fine if you can't get us two." Rini smiled.
"Well, do you want fast horses, or strong horse, or pack horses."
"fast, strong horses." She smiled. "If it isn't a problem."
"I think I can give you two, I would try to get three, but there isn't very many good horses at the moment."
"It's fine, we're very thankful."
