Chapter Two

(Chichiri POV)

*crash*

A girl runs right through me and we both fall to the ground with a mighty crash. She jumps up and I hear her mutter "Gomen nasai." and then she runs.

I get up, dusting myself off, when I'm cornered by the guard.

"Lord Chichiri! Has a girl passed by here, running pretty fast?"

"She literally killed me no da." I mutter to myself, but to them

I say, "Hai, why are you chasing her no da?"

The guard cleared his throat. "She escaped from the dungeon. We believe she might be suffering from insanity. She said she needed to see the emperor immediately; it was a matter of life and death." The other guards were cracking smiles and laughing.

"Did you consider believing her no da?"

At this, the head guard burst out laughing.

"Believing her?! Hahaha! If we did that to every prisoner who said they needed to see the emperor, Saihitei-sama would be dead."

"Well, ya better go find her then, no da." I say, and the guards go off.

For some reason, I think that girl was telling the truth. Just a hunch. Ya never know about this kind of stuff. Anyway, I decide to casually walk in the direction the guards went.

You never no what's going to happen no da.

(Ayako POV)

Crap. I'm lost. Palaces are extremely confusing. I walk up to a door and think is Saihitei in there?

Take a wild guess, Ayako.

I open the door and guess who's there? Saihitei-sama and advisors too. Great. Hope this works, 'cuz if it doesn't I'm in deep shit. I bow down low.

"Saihitei-sama, I am sorry to have come in on you like this, but I absolutely must talk to you."

The advisors start to laugh. "A simple peasant person wanting to talk to Saihitei-sama? Simply outrageous!" they laugh.

My temper boils inside me like a volcano.

"Saihitei-sama, as an emperor, you should treat all subjects equally, no matter how poor and no matter how forlorn."

One of the advisors jumps ups and gasps like I've just killed him.

"How dare you tell the emperor how to rule!" he yells.

I shrug. "Just giving him free advice." I say.

The guards have caught up with us. They grab me and try to drag me away. Oh, now I'm pissed.

I struggle and put up a fight like I haven't before.

"Goddamn you people! Let me go!! Just let me talk to Saihitei!!"

That's the last thing I say before something hits my head.

(Chichiri POV)

I see a group of guards outside the conference door. One man is sheathing a sword. My worst fears are confirmed as I run there.

"What the hell did you do to her no da?"

A guard chuckles. "Simply knocked her out. We wouldn't kill her if that's what your thinking. However, we will put her in a high security cell which means the lowest level of the dungeon." he says rather fast. Another man is carrying her and it looks like she will have a nasty bump on her head when she wakes up.

I duck my head into the conference room where only Saihitei/Hotohori is.

"Hey, Hotohori, why didn't you stop them," I ask casually, "Did you even try to listen to her

no da?"

He shrugs, "She just burst in here and a minute later the guards caught up with her. One of them banged them on the head with a sword hilt," I wince. "And it happened pretty fast so I couldn't stop them." he says almost apologetically.

I don't want to ask what else he's going to do with her, because I'm afraid I'll get an answer as bad as this. I'm thinking I will talk to this girl. I sense something special about her. Like an aura or something.
