Chapter 5: Chit Chat
*Done in third person*
Within an hour and a half of leaving the palace the party reached the forest. As they rode deeper into the woods towards the mountains they were oblivious to the dark figure following them. Once she felt the heat on her back of someone staring at Mikun then stopped her horse and said, "Highness, wait a minute, I believe we are being followed." With that said she looked around to see who was there. For a split second she thought she saw someone in the trees, but whomever or whatever it was disappeared to quickly for her to be sure.
"Mikun-san, there is nothing there. Let's go," Boushine said. With that the group left. Mikun gave the tree one more glance before she left.
(Hours later)
In the sun's fading light the search group came to a lake. Boushine stopped his horse and then said, "This will be a nice place to spend the night, don't you agree?"
He looked to the girls who replied, "Sure." While Boushine was fine, aside from the light glow of sweat, the girls were a different story. Earlier they had been through hell. First after the whole staring incident their horse wouldn't move, then when they came to a stream their horse bucked and they both fell into the water, and the last thing that happened was the worst. Their horse started to gallop which caused them to fall off, hit a tree, which caused a bee hive to fall on them, miraculously no one got stung.
After tying the horses up Mikun turned to Roki and said, "Hey, let's go take a bath. Just because we're traveling doesn't mean we have to smell bad." Roki agreed and they went to find a place to bathe.
After about fifteen minutes of walking the two girls found a hot spring. After undressing and getting in the hot water it was uncomfortably quiet. When she couldn't take it anymore Mikun spoke. "So why did you decide to become the priestess? I mean it is quite dangerous. And you were yelling at Colin no baka so much that I didn't think you would want to be the priestess."
Roki giggled at the remark of Colin being an idiot. She then replied, "The reason I kept protesting was because I didn't even have a clue what the priestess of suzaku was. I decided to become the priestess because I really do want to help those people. I mean if I wasn't meant to do this I wouldn't have been brought here."
Mikun smiled and nodded, understanding fully how she felt. "Well I'm getting out; you can stay if you like." Mikun then got out of the hot spring and dried off. Once she got dressed she walked back to their camp.
Once she got to the campsite three sleeping bags were set out and a fire was burning which had three fish cooking over it. Mikun stared at the scean in shock until a voice penetrated through the blanket of silence. "Not to bad for an emperor, ne?" Mikun spun around, her eyes meeting Boushine's. Their faces were almost an inch apart, and upon realizing this both their faces were covered in a pink flush.
Mikun then inquired, "So how'd you learn to do this? I thought someone who was raised in the palace would die out here."
Boushine then leaned over and whispered in her ear, "That's my secret." Mikun blushed a scarlet red from the feel of his hot breath on her ear. She just couldn't explain it. Why was she acting so much like a girl now? And around the emperor of all people. She had never acted like this around…no, that won't be mentioned. She shook her head, angry at herself for losing her cool.
Mikun then turned to Boushine and said, "But really, how did you learn to do all this?"
Boushine sat down and turned the fish over the fire. Boushine kept his back turned to her and said "Come over here and I'll tell you." Mikun walked over and sat next to her emperor. Hotohori's son then explained, "When I was little I always dreamed of leaving the palace. Once I got older I started going into the woods and staying there, however I was always found the very next day. However, one day I left and just disappeared, no one could find me. My mother then fell ill thinking she had lost the only thing she had left. I was found a month later. Once she saw me my mother felt better, but she stayed extereamly ill for two years. I will live with that guilt for the rest of my life. However, it did give me good survival skills.
Mikun stared down at her hands and spoke quietly, not knowing what quite to say, "I'm so sorry, about your mother that is."
"It's alright, after all it's not your fault," and for the first time that night Boushine looked at Mikun. He knew it was the perfect time to tell Mikun how he felt, that he was falling in love with her. "Mikun-san, I…."
"Yes?" Mikun looked at the young man beside her.
"Well I…." Boushine started.
Just then Roki popped up, "HI!"
The little surprise caused Boushine to fall over, while Mikun just smiled at the priestess and said cheerfully, "Oh hi! So did you finish you bath?"
"Yep!" Just then an arrow flew by scratching Mikun's face. "Mikun, you're hurt!" Roki yelled hysterically.
"Be careful, it's the Mt. Leikaku bandits!" were Mikun's last words before passing out. You see, the arrow that hit held a special kind of poison. Then Roki and Boushine were both knocked out from behind. The group was then taken to the bandit's hideout.
I know that was a bad way to end it but I couldn't think of anything and I really did need to end this chapter. Good news, I'm almost done with chapter six so it should be up soon. Well I hope you enjoyed this, r&r.
