Sorry, I had to be out to this for awhile, I'm going to post new chapters for everything running. I'm soooooooooo sorry for how long I have made you all who loved this wait, I've been a complete ass and I hope this makes up for it.

It was dark, dark, and cold. And he wasn't there.

The cold air was everywhere, omniscient, unmoving, unyielding. Never changing- just there.

Yae sat it the corner of her cell, darkness was in front of her, and behind her was a wall of stone. If there was but a flicker of light, you could see the tear trickle down her cheek and splash against the cold ground of her cell.

"Goemen." She silently whispered to the wind.

About a day or so ago……

She sighed heavily as she passed over the last grassy null and was welcomed by the sight of the small village owned by her master. She halted her horse for a minute pondering on the previous day's events.

"He's crazy, not to mention perverted!" came the haunting shouts of Gomen.


It was perfect, the sun was setting in the east and she was alone with him on a rooftop, and she was just about to tell him how she felt for him when…they got into a argument.

She had felt like a complete ass now, but now she was so close, she couldn't turn back. She knew that she would do whatever Lord Krudin wanted and find someway back to her blue haired ninja and apologize.

The grand hall was lined with banners baring the symbol of the Krudin Dynasty which had lingered through the filth for many generations. Yae took a deep breath. She had changed just before entering the city, wanting to look halfway decent before her return.

She wore a satin pink gi that stopped just above her knees and left her arms bare which she decorated with guards of shining steel. She tied her sword to her waits with a shimmering purple sash that shone splendidly in the light.

As she slowly walked down the long carpeted hall to meet her lord who was sitting at his thrown, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Toncho was eyeing her.

She actually had to admire Toncho now, for he had grown much taller and a lot more handsome, his hair shined as it flowed down to the small of his back. Also Lord Krudin had thinned out as well, now showing a white beard that gave off a look of knowledge and depth to his person.

"Dear heavens, how long was I gone?" She had thought to herself. The palace was also looking more splendid, the dust and grime cleared away from the corners and everything looked brand new. "Wow, I should leave more often, if this is what comes of it."

She approached the foot of the small staircase that lead to the throne and kneeled.

"My lord." She said simply.

Krudin slowly rubbed at his beard. "Oh, Yae. I see you received my notice."

"At the worst possible time." She muttered under her breath. "Yes, indeed I did."

"Good, very good." He said with a small chuckle as he rose. He wore a flowing gold robe and carried a large white fan which was painted with a inticate design. Most likely it was a special treasure of some kind.

"Now, how long did your leave of absence last?" he asked.

"Oh shit, am I going to have to pay for this." She muttered again. "For four seasons and a moon." (For those of you who are……stupid. I'm guessing that's a year and month.)

"Ah yes. " he exclaimed.

"And what exactly will you be paying me with Yae?"

"Paying you, my lord?" She asked, becoming slightly nervous.

"Yes, I only pardoned you for a two moons. Your drastic action in exceeding your agreement can only be payable by one course."

I do not like where this is going. She thought.

"You will be my bride." a sultriest voice from behind said.

"Bride?" she asked in shock as she rose from her kneeling.

"But my lord……" She began

Toncho cam from behind her and placed a hand upon her hip.

"Yae, your actions are inexcusable and are punishable by the new mandate by death, we are being very lenient with you." Toncho said as he hand traveled to her butt.

"Oh hell no you just do that." She thought as a look of disgust came over her.

"My son is right Yae, marriage to him is the only way." Krudin said almost triumphantly.

"Don't fret so much Yae, we'll have fun together." Toncho said seductively as he gave her butt a squeeze.

"THAT'S IT!" She shouted out loud as she turned around and slapped him square in the face and whipped out her sword and kept the tip pointed at his neck.

"To even think that I would ever consider the likes of you for a husband is a sin in itself. I may be a slave to you by ninja code but that doesn't mean I have lost my dignity you pig. You who only love for sex is strictly appalling. (even though, 15th century Japanese people regarded women for sex, sex, and oh yeah, sex) I have loved more deeply that you womanizing bastard would ever know!" She said, taking gasps of breath as she finished.

After being called multiple names and having a sword pointed at his throat, Toncho seemed unaffected.

"Oh, Yae has fallen in love has she?" Krudin said with sudden interest.

"Yes, his name is Goemen." She said as if it were a eternal statement.

So that was it. She thought. "I love Goemon." She stated.

The emperor smiled. " I know." Before she could react, strong arms grabbed her roughly and pulled her into the dark.

And hours later she had come to awaken in this prison. No weapons, trapped in a stone cube.

"So, awake are you?" a voice came from the dark. Her eyes opened, trying to find the source, who soon came to few as a small candle was lit and held up to reveal the face of Toncho.

"Toncho? What's going on?" She asked to his face, her body shivering from the cold.

"We knew of your small crush on Goemon ever since you left. We never imagined that you would come to love him but we found that quite interesting." He explained as he came closer to her. Yae then came up with a idea and scrunched down in the corner.

"You see, once we began to improve our shit hole of a empire, we decided that we possessed the right qualities to rule the very world. Only one problem, we needed something to tip the odds in our favor. We had constructed a omni robot. A six armed terror." He said as malice slowly crept into his voice as he slowly stepped closer.

"Yet we had heard about Goemon and his triumphs with his machine called Impact, we then decided if we could get Impact here and destroy it, we knew nothing would stop us."

"So you used me to get lure Goemon here with Impact." She said as she was picking the wind of this plot. "Well then your out of luck, he won't come for me." She stated.

"Oh, but he's already here, luckily you had your ninja bird waiting right outside and all we had to do was fit him with a message and send him off. Knowing the first ones he would find would be Goemon and friends."

She scrunched down tighter till her body was a small little ball. The prince, taking this act as a whim of terror, began to step even closer his feeling of domination over the woman who so longed eluded him was exhilarating.

Luckily, even if Goemon wins the battle with Impact, we can provide the right witnesses to convict Goemon and Impact of a act of terrorism and have every Empire wanting there destruction."

"Oh you're good." A calm serene voice said from the distance. Toncho's face then contorted from cocky, to absolute fear. "Who is that?"

"Can't you guess?" The voice came again but this time it sounded so close. "I'm a ninja, I live in the shadows, I breath in the darkness." The voice said almost too dramatically.

"Where are you? Show yourself!" Toncho shouted.

"You'll have to find me…..but am I here, or here, or there." The voice said, but this time the voice was coming from all directions, as if this man were the wind himself.

"Or, am I HERE!" Came a shout, there was a loud ping and Toncho imedeatley fell to the ground unconscious.

"I have way too much fun." The voice said as it came closer

The figure came closer to the fallen lantern, and his face became illuminated.

Yae took one look and practically burst into tears "Goemon." She stated.

IT took no time at all for the ninja to spring up and practically tackle the man to the floor. Goemon was surprised, mostly due to the fact he just got plowed over and he still couldn't see a thing.

"Yae, are you all-"before he could finish. Yae closed her lips over his in excitement.

Both of them became still, Yae realizing what she had just done was beginning to blush a deep hue of red but still didn't move

Goemon slowly closed his eyes. Her lips tasted like honey yet felt as soft as velvet.

TBC~ I am so evil
