Author's Notes: Hiya minna! It's been a few days since I got to post the next chapters. This is what I get for not having a stock of pre-paid internet cards ready. I lost my internet account and I'm waiting for a few weeks until I get it back. Anyway, for now, I'll have to be content with cards. MAKI!!!! KIYOTA!!!
Chapter 6: ??
Sendoh stopped by a river to have a drink. He was thirsty from walking all day. The sun wasn't being very helpful as its rays were enough to melt his spiky hair. He took a palm full of water and gulped it down. Then, he rested on the ground with his back against a tree. He wanted to be back in the village. He wanted to be back in Koshino's arms. Unfortunately, the young man had no feelings whatsoever for him. What they shared was not something romantic and it was out of desperation.
Meanwhile, in another part of the vast kingdom, a few soldiers were setting up camp. There were colorful tents being set up. In one of them was a young girl with curly hair. She was beautiful but her hands were tied behind her back. Outside was a man who seemed to be the leader of the men. He was tanned with a mole on his face that screamed babelicious. He was very handsome and was probably a knight of high ranking. His name was Maki Shinichi.
Ayako yawned. It has been a few hours since she stumbled upon the forest with the camping soldiers. They automatically took her prisoner. They thought that she was a spy or something for the frog king, Fukuda. They haven't been harsh on her and tied the knots a little bit too loosely. She didn't try to escape because she wanted to get help from them. Ayako knew that the soldiers were against Fukuda. She was about to drift off to sleep when the tent flap opened and the captain entered.
Maki knew that her hands were not tied very tightly. There was a mischievous twinkle in her eyes and she didn't appear to be someone who would work for Fukuda. Wondering why she didn't escape, he decided to ask her. Ayako simply answered that she didn't want to leave the camp, not when she needed their help.
"So you are on a quest to rescue the princess Haruko. Do you have any comrades?" Maki asked. Ayako nodded and then sighed, "They're not with me right now. We were a group before we fell down the raging river. After escaping from the waters, I didn't see any of them around. I could only hope that they are safe and sound." After explaining, another man entered the tent. He looked a bit younger than the captain and he was sort of cute. His black hair was tied in a loose pony tail.
"Kiyota, how did it go?" Maki asked, regarding the young man's scouting. He had sent him to look around for any enemies that may be lurking around the forest. "No enemies were spotted Maki. I don't think there are any at all. I guess they retreated after hearing that the great Kainan team is camping here! Hahaha!" Kiyota answered. Ayako thought that Kiyota reminded her or a certain village idiot. She eyed the two men with curiousity. She was definitely sensing that the younger lad held very high respect for the captain.
"Kiyota, this is Ayako. She is out to rescue a certain princess Haruko. She is an ally." Maki explained as he untied the knots on her hands. Ayako stood up and stretched. Her butt hurt of sitting down on a chair for so long. Arrangements were made and Maki asked Kiyota to escort Ayako to his tent.
Kiyota turned out to be a gentleman, despite his large ego. "I hope you don't mind staying at my tent. I'm not going to take advantage of you anyway." the lad said as they reached his tent. Ayako nodded. "I'm not worried at all. I think Maki has good taste." she remarked. A slight blush appeared on Kiyota's cheeks. "Wh-what?" Ayako noticed this and smirked. An idea was forming in her head. Kiyota opted to sleep on the floor and let Ayako use his bed.
"I didn't think that the Kainan team would help a girl like me." Ayako said as she ate her dinner. Kiyota had brought some fish and fruits in for them to eat. They were sitting on the floor, munching and chatting. "Kainan team didn't used to be this way. It used to be a really infamous troop, out to steal gold from the villages." he said. Ayako leaned forward with interest. "Really?" Kiyota shook his head. "No, not really. I just made that up. Haha! I'm such a great story-teller! I can't believe you actually believed what I said." Ayako raised her eyebrow and then smirked, "You know what, Kiyota? You have a really big ego. I have a friend who's like you too. Do you know what they say about egoistic men? They say that men like you have a big secret. A secret concerning their sexuality." At this, Kiyota shut up.
Ayako knew that she hit the jackpot. Kiyota was obviously interested in Maki. She needed to find a way to get them together. But before playing matchmaker, she needed to find out if Maki feels the same way. Her plan will never work if it was a one sided love. She was determined to find out tonight. Dinner was very satisfying and soon, they both felt sleepy.
When the moon came out of the clouds, Ayako woke up. She heard a sound of rustling fabric and the tent flap being opened. She lit up a candle and was not surprised to find herself alone in the tent. "I wonder where Kiyota went off to.." she mused as she hurried out of the tent. She saw a dark figure moving along head and decided to go after it.
Kiyota held his breath as he peeked through the small hole in Maki's tent. He could see his captain sleeping on his bed, peaceful. He looked so beautiful and he was so focused on his captain that he didn't ntoice someone behind him. Ayako tapped his shoulder and he gave out a loud scream. Kiyota turned around to see Ayako with a huge grin on her face. "Ayako! What was that for?" he asked. She was about to answer when a sound was heard from the tent. "Kuso! He's awake! Let's go!" he whispered and dragged her back to the tent.
Maki looked out and saw no one. He scratched his head. He was pretty sure that he had heard scream. Then again, it was probably one of his shoulders experiencing a wet dream. He knew from experience that it wasn't unusual for his men to have these kind of dreams, especially when they were so far away from their loved ones. Speaking of loved ones, he wondered how his favorite soldier was doing.
Ayako was out of breath by the time they reached their tent. But it was worth seeing Kiyota playing peeping tom on a sleeping Maki. "We almost got caught!" Kiyota exclaimed as he tried to stop himself from trembling. Ayako was just wearing a silly grin on her face.
The next morning, Kiyota was being pestered by an eager matchmaker. Ayako wanted to hear Kiyota say that he liked Maki more than an ordiniary soldier would. The young lad tried ignoring her and changing subjects but he couldn't help blushing from Ayako's remarks. "For all you know, he might feel the same!" Ayako said, before running off to see the captain.
Kiyota admired Maki so much. He would do anything for him. He would risk his life just to save his. Fukuda grinned evily. There was a crystal ball in front of him and it was showing him some things that would be very helpful to him. He knew that Kainan team was a strong and smart group. They would make good soldiers for him, especially their captain, Maki Shinichi. The only problem was that Fukuda needed them to be come to his castle. He prepared a spell for the soldiers that would place them under his control. Maki probably would figure his plan out so he needed to make sure that the captain would have no choice in the matter.
That was where Kiyota came in. Fukuda knew that Maki felt something for the young soldier. The ugly frog grinned evily and called for his troops.
Haruko saw the scenes flashing in the crystal ball. She knew exactly what the king was planning. As much as she wanted to help, there was no way to. She was trapped inside the castle with an ugly frog and thousands of men guarding the grounds. She sighed as she went back to her room. Fukuda had allowed her to walk around the castle freely and had even made sure that she was treaated well. Her room was huge and she closed the door behind her. Haruko sat on her bed and started to think of a way to warn the soldier called Kiyota.
Meanwhile, our favorite boys marched along another forest. The new trail had ended and they needed to find another way to get to the castle. There was supposed to be a village nearby but none of the boys have spotted it yet. Kogure stopped by a tree, out of breath. He wasn't used to roughing it and thought that maybe he was wrong to have decided to come along on the mission. Then again, he wouldn't have met the mysterious Mitsui from the raging river.
"Megane-kun, you're tired already? Oh well, not everyone has the tensai's stamina." Sakuragi remarked. Rukawa snorted and they argued again. Miyagi covered his ears. "Not again!" he groaned. After trading insults, they sat down on the ground.
"Why don't we stay here for a while? We've been travelling for a few days without resting. Our body needs rest." Kogure said. He looked at Rukawa who looked even paler than usual. He became worried. "Rukawa, are you alright?" he asked. Rukawa didn't answer. Kogure started to build a tent from his backpack, hoping that there won't be any wild animals lurking around.
Nighttime came by quickly. Kiyota prepared for another peeping session with Ayako. "Remember that we must be very quiet! I don't know what I would do if Maki caught us!" Ayako nodded and then giggled. This was so much fun. They crept around the dark with only the moon and the stars as their guiding light. They walked the familiar path to the captain's tent.
"Here we are." Kiyota whispered. He peeked through the hole and saw the slumbering Maki. Ayako was supposed to be on watch, just in case a soldier woke up and saw them. Ayako became bored after a few minutes. Not a soldier was in sight and she wondered if she should just get back to bed. Kiyota won't need her help. She was about to leave when she noticed something moving not far from where she stood. It was a hooded figure and she couldn't see very clearly. As the figure came closer, she gasped and tapped Kiyota's shoulders wildly.
Kiyota tried to ignore the tapping because he was too focused on Maki. When he did turn around, he was shocked. A monster was in front of him. Looking down, he saw that Ayako had fainted from fright. He drew out his sword and prepared to fight. Unfortunately, he didn't notice another monster behind him. It whacked his head with a large rock and he fainted as well.
A small fire was built for their camp. Miyagi was already snoring inside his tent. Kogure couldn't sleep a wink because he was still thinking of the stranger and Hanamichi was just staring into space. Actually, what he was really doing was waiting for a certain kitsune to arrive from his bath. Rukawa left camp earlier to take a bath in a nearby lake. It's been quite some time now and Rukawa should have been back already. The red head couldn't help but worry. What was happening to him? He was becoming a nervous wreck.
Kogure snapped out of his thoughts and noticed that Rukawa was not yet back. "Hanamichi, could you please go and check Rukawa? He should have been back hours ago." For some reason, Hanamichi didn't protest. He stood up from where he sat and hurried to find the lake. After a few minutes, he reached the glittering water. There was no Rukawa to be seen. He scratched his head and called out for the kitsune. He was about to give up when a hand grabbed his mouth and pulled him behind a large tree.
So, a few characters finally made an appearance. A lot more have yet to appear and Mitsui fans, do not be despaired. I will still include him in the story. I'm thinking of a Hikoichi and Miyagi pairing. Well, maybe something like a one sided love. I AM still thinking of it and there are not gurantees that I will actually do it. Yohei might come up in the next chapter and so might the Sakuragi gundan. SenKosh fans, attention in the next chapter as well. Tell me who you guys want to be appearing next. Review!!!
