They waited in the home of the black smith for some time before he came
him. It was dark out, and he apologized many times over and over again for
taking so long, but it ends up the man he was making horse shoes for had
four other horses who were on their way to the king with important news.
The black smith lived in a small cluttered home, that obviously lacked any woman's cleaning in a long year or so. Haruka's home smelt of old must, and dirty, and Haruka himself didn't look as if he had brushed his hair in months.
"I would wish to explain all to you now." Rini said quickly. "But I haven't the time, and this isn't the place." She looked over at the two boys. "I will speak to you later about a few more things. We need the horses to get home. We are going back to the castle, to speak with the king." Haruka nodded through all she said.
"And you are doing this because?" he asked, trailing off.
"Because I think I know what happened to the Queen."
Haruka's eyes widened. "The castle is far away from here if that is where you wish to go. I suggest the ball, it will happen within the next three day in Norto, a small town not too far down the road here. I'm sure you can get in if you give this all up."
Rini's eyes darkened slightly.
"Do you think the Queen is more important than this?" he asked, pointing to the two boys and a horse that Goten was brushing outside the doorway.
"I'm-I'm not sure yet." Rini said quietly. "This is what I've always wanted. and now, everything's so confusing!"
Trunks stood and walked outside with Goten, shutting the door behind him.
"I was kidnapped and taken out of the castle, he seemed too be looking for me to kill him. Then he through me outside the castle, where Trunks, the hunter found me. Then I met Goten, the farmer's boy, and he took me all over, leading me to here. And did you know fairies are real?"
There was a loud crash from outside. Rini quickly ran over to the window to see. Goten was on the ground, cheeks red, looking a bit more lively than before. "Are you alright?" he nodded and she went back with Haruka.
"Will you help me?"
"I can get you to the ball, the king will be here. And I should say, it would be best to go as yourself. The king is expected to present you to the King of some distant land. He'll be might embarrassed if you don't show."
"I can't go as myself." she started. "I don't like me, I'm stuck."
Goten poked his head into the room. "I'm sorry to bug, but a man's here saying he needs to know if you've lent out any horses to the princess as of the past month."
Haruka shot Rini a quick glance and ran outside.
Goten came inside and sat next to her. "Umm, Rini," he happy face turned a bright shade of pink. "I need to tell you something very important."
Haruka walked back in. "Yes, I can led you the horses, as long as you go to that ball. Alright?" Rini nodded.
"What were you saying Goten?"
"Oh, uh, it can wait. So are we going to leave now, or what?"
Haruka looked over at Rini. "It can't be safe for a lady to go out at night when the king's soldiers are about. Come, you can stay here the night, all of you. I've got plenty of room. And I could serve you some fabulous dinner, m'lady!"
Rini smiled and shook her head. "That would be wonderful! We haven't eaten in days!"
Haruka glared. "Now that's not the way a lovely maiden should be treated! Doesn't you're hunter know how to hunt?"
Trunks walked in. "Of course I can hunt, but I've been robbed of all my bows, and my quiver as well."
Haruka laughed and pulled Trunks out of the room with him. "Well we'll have to do something about that, won't we!" He laughed and shut the door behind them.
"What was it Goten?"
"Um, why don't we go outside for some air." He smiled slightly.
They walked outside and stood under the black sky quietly for some time.
"Rini, I'm not what I've told you I am." He started. She looked over at him curiously.
"I'm a fairy." He said. He lowered the back of his shirt, and showed his blue transparent wings off to her. "I just thought it was kinda important." he stated as he pulled his long wings out.
She stroked them with her index finger and smiled. "Wow."
He smiled, and began pulling them back.
"You have lovely wings." she said, smiling brightly. "Thank you for telling me." He nodded and smiled. "There are things I wish I could tell you now, but you might be able to guess now is not the time."
He nodded again. "It's alright, let's go back in shall we?"
She nodded and grabbed his arm, leaned against him and walked in with him.
