Forever Loved

Chapter 2 Arrival

By Violet Karuto



~*~

Azure eyes roamed the surrounding hills and grasslands. Trees and flowers swayed with the rhythm of the wind as the royal carriage passed by. The arid breeze of daylight marked the prelude of fall. Prince Eriol from the Hiirigizawa kingdom sighed as the carriage bounced along the dirt road. 'Well, another day, another kingdom, another princess to court. Mother and Father just don't understand, I want to marry of love, not of duty or responsibility.' The king and queen of the Hiirigizawa kingdom had searched high and low for the perfect future queen to match their beloved son and, to benefit their welfare. So far, all Eriol met were the money greed, snotty no-good princesses that falls to his feet by his charms and fortune.

'Let's get this over with so I could spare my own humiliation.' Eriol looked across from his seat, which sat one of his personal servants, and creation. Nakuru has her (I decided to make her a girl) head, and most of her body, out of the window by her side and has been in that position for quite some time now. To her, this is not out of the ordinary, for she had been to dozens or more kingdoms before this. Every time when her master travels to other kingdoms for the 'hand in marriage', she would always come along. And every time when she meets one of the princesses, she would bounce, literally, on them and started to squeal how 'Kawaii' they are. In the end, Eriol would have to apologize to the king and queen on her behalf.

"Sit down," said Eriol annoyed, "before you fall out of the carriage. The last thing I wanted to do is hear you whine about your gown being soiled."

"But master," Nakuru poked her head back, "don't you want to enjoy the fresh air of summer day? It has been so long since we've been on a trip."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The air back home is no different than here, and, if I recalled right, we've just came back from the Misakito Kingdom no longer than 5 days ago." Eriol crossed his arms in front of his chest and raised an eyebrow.

"Goodness gracious! Loosen up! Aren't you happy you're going to meet another princess? I'm so excited! I'm going to braid her hair and put pretty dresses on her and then we're going to be bestest friends!" at that, Nakuru squealed at her 'so-call' fantasy while her eyes were full of stars. Remembering something, she looked back at Eriol, "And if *I* recalled right, I remember that you enjoy, hm what was the word you use? PLAYING with the princesses?" Nakuru sat down and copied her master's posture, crossing her arms and staring evenly back at him. The one thing different about her is that her hair now looked like it's been in a hurricane. Pieces of leaves entwined within her chocolate red bundle as strands of hair falling in front of her face every now and then, the structure of her hair makes it look like she was wearing a wig sideways. All in all, it was quite a site to see, for Nakuru has a very high fashion sense.

"I'm getting sick of it, Nakuru. It's meaningless in a relationship when one of them is only interested in you because of your money. When will I have a say in this? Every time I have to listen to them babble about their wonderful 'clothes' and 'accessories' and how marvelous would it be if she has her own kingdom to rule. And let me tell you this, even though I'm good, still I can barely manage to survive by the end of the day. And when I thought the nightmare's over, I go home to face Mother and Father who has YET another princess waiting for my arrival at their palace gates. I want to choose my own life and not have anyone to choose it for me." Eriol looked sternly at Nakuru before turning away to face the landscapes that were passing by his window.

" Don't worry, master, I'm sure this one would be different. They say that she's really pretty and that she's really nice too." Nakuru said hesitantly.

"Sure, that's what they ALL say." Eriol didn't avert his eyes as he stares into space outside the carriage.

Nakuru looked sadly at her young master, understanding what he is going through. Although she hasn't experienced it for herself, she's still her master's creation and she understands every emotion and thought he's feeling and thinking. Trying to think up way to lighten up the mood, she reached by her master's side and grabbed the slumbering cat that was resting peacefully upon a velvet cushion.

At the moment of the contact, the feline's eyes snapped open and started to struggle within Nakuru's grasp. Nakuru giggled and started to pinch his furry cheeks and started to reach to the sac that was beside her.

"Put me down this instant you imbecile!" yelled the black cat as he looked at Nakuru with glaring beady eyes, "What has gone wrong with that twisted brain of yours?"

Ignoring his comments, the guardian started to pull something out of the sac. Seeing this, the feline struggled harder afraid of what was about to take place.

"Aww.. don't be afraid Suppi-chan. Aren't you hungry? You should at least thank me for feeding you" Nakuru smiled evilly as she pulled out a cookie meant to be snack along the trip.

Spinel Sun watched in horror as the giant cookie covered with chocolate chips descends upon his tiny face. Looking around franticly, Spinel saw his only savior, Eriol, looking out the window ignoring all that is going on. Gathering his breath, Spinel breaths out a red fire beam straight at Nakuru's face disregarding the consequences afterwards. As the light dimmed down, it left a burnt Nakuru with frizzled hair, also a burnt hole at the ceiling of the carriage. She coughed out a puff of smoke as she's still registering what just happened. Spinel shrunk away as he saw the fire that was replaced in Nakuru's eyes.

A roar soon broke the calmness of the countryside as the carriage pass by with the driver showing no sign of bursting eardrums.

"SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIII- CHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Eriol sighed at his two guardians as he resumes his gazing at the passing farms. 'Typical' he though but stopped as he saw something rising from the horizon. Little by little, towers mount from the hills as the magnificent Daidouji palace came into view. Slowly but confidently, they rode towards their destination.

"WAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" Nakuru squealed as she poked through the window once again leaving the drunken unconscious Spinel on the pillow. "It's so kirei! (I think it means beautiful correct me if im wrong) We're finally here!!"

Eriol took off his glasses and rubbed his temples as his servant going nonstop babbling of all the things that she's going to do and see once she got there. Looking back toward the hiccuping Spinel, he faces back to the castle they are about to arrive. Eriol sighed once more as they enter the streets of the city.
