Princess Knight
Chapter Five: Kitty Mix Treasure
A/N: I'm soooo glad people like!! ^_^ I decided to add a little team mascot so you'll see him this chapter ^^ Thanks for the nice reviews and who do you think will enter the group next? Dun! Dun! Dun! It's a secret ^_-
*****
So here they were, a knight, a princess in disguise, a future countess and a dragon. How did they end up as such a colorful bunch?
"The Devil is out to get us," Mimi mumbled, slumping her shoulders.
On their way out of the Ringo Forest and on to knew pasteurs, the quartet traveled to the city of Akuto, where it is rumored that an holy item is located.
"Ne Yamato?"
"What Miki?"
"Is Akuto as big as I've heard?"
"Probably bigger, it is a prosperous city and home to the famous Nishinku Ninja clan."
"I've heard of them," Sora tried to think of more, "My mother used to tell me that the Nishinku Ninjas were famous for their strong sense of honor and no other fighter could surpass their special martial arts attacks."
"It's true," Taichi agreed, "They're a stubborn bunch. Honor this and honor that, they'd disown their own family if they dishonored anything! Or something stupid like that..."
"Every tribe their own custom," Yamato mused, "Plus honor is something to place in high regard in any society."
"I suppose," Mimi frowned in thought, as they continued on their way, "but family and love should be more important."
***
"So cute!" Sora gushed, fawning over all the small shops and stands in the city.
Coming to her side, Mimi sighed looking at all the beautiful jewelery and cloths, "Yea...they're so beautiful!"
"Aren't they!" Sora agreed and the two girls started to discuss which ones were prettier and looked the most expensive.
Behind them with massive sweatdrops, Yamato and Taichi watched with their mouths open and discussed...
"They really are meant for eachother."
"Or maybe they both just like shiny things?"
"Or maybe Miki is just a pansy."
"I think he's one of 'those' cases. You know, his parents dressed him up like a girl or something."
Yamato sweatdropped, "I think he just has expensive tastes."
Fifteen minutes later, the they were finally able to drag the girls away and made their way to the heart of the city. Ignoring the shy glances and leering eyes, they discussed what their next plan of action should be.
"Okay Taichi, this was your bright idea to some here, so tell us why exactly we listened," Yamato sighed, leaning against a house.
"Yea," Mimi chorused, slumping to the ground, "I'm hungry."
"Sheesh! Don't any of you have confidence in me?"
"Not really," Sora answered, recieving a glare from the dargon boy, "Oh, don't look at me like that! Or I'll sock you one right in the--"
"I dare you!! Stupid girl!!"
"Hey--"
"Shut up!" Yamato yelled, causing the two to stop bickering, "Now get to the point before we sell you to a local pet shop!"
A small flame coming out of his mouth in annoyance, Taichi licked one of his fangs before beginning, "Fine! Jeeze, you're so mean to me!"
"Shut up."
"Meanies."
"I hope you like dry foods."
"I'm starting!" leaning against a wall, with a big huff, Taichi finally began, "Well I heard from a friend of mine that there is some ancient relic here that was supposed to have belonged to the Maiden long ago. It's called the Hoshi Musumane and have magical powers."
Twitching, Yamato raised and eyebrow, "What's it do? And why didn't you tell us this before?!"
"I didn't remember~! Dragons have fragile memories you know! You seen one ancient item, you've seen them all!"
"Argh! I can't believe you!"
Yamato was about to clobber him, when Sora called him back, "Wait! We need him alive to tell us what is does."
Grumbling he nodded, sitting down next to Mimi with a pout, "Stupid reptile..."
"As I was saying! Before I was RUDELY interupted!"
"Grumble, grumble....make him...into shoes...like that..."
"The Hoshi Musumane is supposed to be some sort of amulet or whatever and it makes you super fast!"
"So it enables you to move quickly," Mimi mused, getting off from the ground, "Where would we find it? Even if it isn't a Maiden artifact, we could still use it to our advantage."
"I don't know, my friend sorta passed out drunk after---"
"MEROW!!!!!!"
Hearing a loud screech come from one of the houses nearby, the group jumped, Yamato bringing out his sword, "What the hell was that?!"
"I don't know," scanning around, Mimi wondered what could've made such a horrible sound when...
*ZOOM!!*
A black wad of fur suddenly flew right into her face. Knocking her down with a
::Fwump::
she grabbed at it and screamed, "Ahh!! Get it off! Get it off! Someone's trying to kill me!! A furry death creature from the depths of hell!! Ahh!!!"
"Miki! Miki!" Sora tried to calm the frantic girl, "Calm down! It's not trying to kill you!"
Pulling the warm blob off her head, Mimi looked down at it flushed and shrieked, "A cat?! Someone was trying to kill me with a flying cat!?"
Staring up at her with huge violet eyes, the feline tried innocently, "Meow?"
Mimi melted, as did Sora and they both exclaimed, "Aww!! How adorable!"
Taichi and Yamato face-faulted, "We can't believe you two!!"
Running towards them, a women in an arpon waved a pan, shouting, "Mangy furball!! Come back here so I can skin ya alive!!"
Quickly shoving the animal into her shirt, Mimi tucked him away out of view, as the woman ran up and asked, "Have any of ye seen a stupid cat?!"
"A cat?" Mimi piped up, "Why ever are you looking for a cat?"
"This kitty has been terrorizing resturants around this area for weeks! It's black and has huge eyes like this!" she demontrated, pulling her eye lids back.
Turning away a bit disgusted, Taichi answered, "Well we did see--"
He didn't finish, as Mimi struck him in the stomach, "No! No, we haven't seen any cats around!"
Sweatdropping she ignored the glares from the men, as the women spied them uncertainly before moving on. Pouncing on Mimi right after she left, Taichi yelled, "What was that for?!? She's looking for that furball!"
Taking the cat from her shirt, Mimi protested, "You heard her! She wanted to kill him! We couldn't let that happen!"
"Miki's right!" Sora agreed, petting the kitty behind its ears, "He's so sensitive! Not like you lizard boy!"
"Grrrr!!!"
They were about to fight again, when Yamato coughed, "Okay! So what do you plan to do with the cat?"
"Keep him, that is until we can find a suitable home," she snuggled it against her cheek, as the guys groaned.
"Great! Another mouth to feed!"
Plopping the kitten on her head, Mimi and the others started back on the road but unknown to any of them, if you looked carefully you might've caught the deep blush on the feline's cheeks.
"Meow...?"
*****
"It's getting too dark!" sitting on her horse, Mimi looked up at the night sky with a worried expression, "Yamato maybe we should set up camp."
"No, the area where the Nishinku Ninjas' reside, is just up ahead, "Besides you aren't afriad of the dark are you?"
"N-No!" Mimi blushed, "Guys aren't afraid of the dark!"
"S-Speak for yourself!" Taichi chattered, looking over his shoulder nervously, "I've felt like someone's been watching us for hours! It's giving me the creeps!"
"But who would follow us?" Sora questioned but held on tighter to Mimi's back (They're sharing a horse) "I mean...unless they know what we're after."
Swatting at her bangs, the kitty meowed, causing Mimi to giggle, "Aw, are you bored? Don't worry we'll rest soon. Hopefully..."
"Say Miki," looking over to her with a bland expression, Taichi asked, "So what did you decide to name the furball?"
"Popi," Mimi smiled, "I used to have a fish named that!"
You could almost see the sweatdrop visibly form on the cat's head.
"Popi?" Yamato inquired, "Isn't that a bit weird for a cat? Let alone anything..."
"Well I think it's a kawaii name!" Sora exclaimed, "Fits him perfectly!"
"Thanks Sora," giving the cat to her, Mimi returned her attention back to Yamato in the lead, "So how much farther Yama?"
'Yama?' Yamato repeated, startled by the sudden nickname but dismissed it, "Should only be 30 more minutes."
"That's goo--"
*Shwoosh! Shwoosh!*
"What the!" Attacking them in the darkness, the quartet could feel strong gusts of wind swipe by them, as they tried to get away.
Only being able to see five feet in front of himself, Yamato jumped off Gabumon and brandished his sword shouting, "We come in peace! Who is it that attacks us?! Thou shalt not fight in the dark!"
"Trespassers!" they heard a shrill voice yell, "I will not let you invaders enter the villiage limits! It will be your downfall outsiders!"
Everyone off their horses, tried in vain to see through the darkness, trying to find the source of attack. Wandering away from the group, trying to find Palmon, Mimi stretched her arms ahead of her but instead of the nice furry mane she sought, she walked right into a course body, covered in some sort of armor.
Gasping, she was about to run away but a hand quickly grabbed her covering her mouth with a soaked rag. Struggling to get free, Mimi tried to claw at her kidnapper but slashed at thin air, as she felt her body go weak.
Falling in a heap, to the asslaints feet, Mimi dropped, the voices of her friends whirling inside her head as her mind became blissfully numb.
"Miki!! Miki!!!" Yamato called frantically, searching through the darkness for his friend. Sora and Taichi were back with their horses but Miki was nowhere to be found!
Shouting aimlessly, he was finally answered by, "Retreat! I have slain one of your party! If you do not go back, all of you will perish at the hands of the great Ninja Hawk!!"
"What?! Miki!!! What have you done to him?!" Yamato cried desperatly, trying to find the location of the voice, "Miki!!"
But as hard as he tried, Yamato could not find the attacker in the ocean of black and Miki was nowhere to be found...
-TBC...?
A/N: CLIFFY!! Hah Ha!! ^^
I know, you guys must all be dissapointed right? Besides Sora's crush there isn't much romance at all in the fic yet.
Well you know me, I like to gradually build up romance, aside from the small little crushes that develop but those don't even get serious till later in the series.
I hate when people rush with "true" love and I think it's an emotion that takes time to develop. So all you readers will have to be content with subtle hints for now ^^;;
Well hope you liked this chapter and are you wondering what's gonna happen to Mimi? Better REIVEW if you want to find out ^_- Atleast 10 Reviews or NO more!!
