*/*/*/*/*/*/ The Front Doors of the Kinmoku Palace
'Yaten' and Minako both nobly strolled up to the giant front doors and stopped a moment as the guards at the door opened it for them. They walked inside and were kindly greeted by Kakyuu-hime. Yaten knelt down respectfully in front of Kakyuu-hime, and Minako curtsied. Kakyuu smiled gently.
'Healer, there's no reason to kneel in front of me.you know. You are like family to me.' Yaten looked up, nodded, and stood up again. Minako folded her hands in front of herself. There was a sudden surprised expression on Kakyuu-hime's face as she realized who was standing before her. Kakyuu- hime bowed very deeply.
'The Princess of Venus has also graced my presence as well as yours so I see.' Kakyuu-hime said straightening up. Minako smiled,
'There's no need for bowing to me, I insist.' She said. Kakyuu-hime nodded and turned to Yaten.
'May I ask why I have the pleasure of you visiting is, and why is it that you have brought Venus' Princess with you?' Kakyuu inquired. Yaten took Minako's hand again and smiled,
'I have come to tell you of our being in love.' Yaten turned to Minako and she turned to him,
'I have finally found the love of my life.' he finished and turned to see Kakyuu-hime's surprised face.
'Oh my!' She brought a hand to her mouth, 'that's wonderful news!!' She rushed forward and hugged Yaten, her head facing away from Minako. 'Yaten' twitched his eyes and slowly wrapped his arms around Kakyuu-hime. There was a sudden strange feeling that went through Kakyuu. She suddenly felt very uneasy hugging Yaten; there was something drastically different about him.
'What's this I feel.This.isn't Healer.who is this?' Kakyuu-hime started to tense up a bit. Yaten realizing this let go of her.
'Something wrong, Kakyuu-hime?' He asked with an almost evil glare at her. Kakyuu-hime smiled and shook her head, brushing the uneasy feeling off.
'No everything's fine. I haven't been feeling well for the past couple of days now.I was just having a little spell again' Minako cocked her head,
'That's too bad.what's wrong with you?' she asked. Kakyuu-hime waved her hand in front of her face 'It's nothing really I assure you.' She said. Minako and Kakyuu-hime held some light conversation for a while, not noticing the evil glare that was still on 'Yaten's' face.
'She knows something.I'll have to get right to work tomorrow.'
'Yaten-chan.Yaten-chan' Minako shook his shoulder and repeated his name. Yaten snapped out of his train of though and smiled.
'Yes love?' He asked.
'Kakyuu-hime is going to show us to the room we'll be staying in tonight.' Minako informed him.
'Weren't you paying attention?' She asked. Yaten put a hand on the side of her face and caressed it.
'Of course I was.' he gave her a small kiss and turned to Kakyuu-hime, keeping his happy smile.
'Lead the way Kakyuu-hime!' He said waving his hand in front of him. Kakyuu-hime bowed her head and turned,
'Of course, right this way Healer, Princess.' She turned around fully and started to lead the way down a long dimly lit hallway. The couple behind Kakyuu-hime chatted quietly behind her as she walked down the hallway.
'I'm worried now.if it were really Healer, he would have most definitely brought Fighter and Maker with him.Hmmm, but then if Minako were with him, he's have to be. I've heard of Healer talk about talk about a girl named Minako, the Princess of Venus, while he was on Earth he met her.' Kakyuu- hime's thought jumbled in her head; she brought a hand to it. Yaten reached out and placed a hand on Kakyuu-hime's shoulder. This startled her a bit.
'Oh yes!' she said. She had conveniently stopped in front of Healer's original room in the palace. Kakyuu-hime walked in front of it and opened the door. She motioned for them to go inside.
'This will do right, Healer? Your old room?' Kakyuu-hime asked.
'Oh course. This will be fine.Thank you.' Yaten gently pushed Minako ahead of him and through the doorway, purposely lingering behind. 'Yaten' gave and icy glare that sent shivers down Kakyuu-hime's spine.
'Good night, Kakyuu-hime.' he said sweetly and walked into the room ad firmly shut and locked the door behind him. Kakyuu-hime folded her hands in front of her and stood for a moment.
'Very odd indeed.' she turned from the door and walked back into the foyer room where she had first met the new couple. A guard rushing in from outside caught her attention. He ran up to her, trying to catch his breath and bowed deeply. Kakyuu-hime nodded as a motion to rise. He did so and said between pants,
'We have just received word of an unknown landing near the vicinity of the royal palace.' Kakyuu-hime raised a curious eyebrow at this information.
'Oh really? Did you confirm on how many or where they are now?' She asked. The guard shook his head.
'We have confirmed that there were two beings that landed. There are men currently combing the area around the palace and interrogating the people nearest it. That is all the information we have at the moment. As soon as we find more, I will let you know immediately Kakyuu-hime.' He said with another deep bow.
'Thank you very much.' Kakyuu-hime said with a stern look on her face. The guard turned to run back off to help continue with the search.
'Interesting.' Kakyuu-hime said slowly, 'I think we may have the two intruders right here inside the palace..' Kakyuu-hime took a deep breath and went to contact, Fighter, Maker, and hopefully Healer.
