~ Can you handle the Truth? ~
It has been many days since the incident happened. Kaede had been musing around the castle in deep thoughts. By day, he saw no sign of the young redheaded man; by night, he was dragged away by the occupants before he could get to see the man return to the castle.
"Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel such longing for him? He hates me; I know he does. Yet there seems to be a magnet pulling me towards him. Oh, Kami-sama, WHY?" he said, as the chilling winter wind whispered in his ears, brushing his skin, making it paler than usual.
Little did he know that somewhere in the forest, a golden lion was also sulking around the forest depth, not bothering to even frighten away the little pesky fur-balls scampering around it. It was to engross in it's thoughts that it couldn't pay attention to it's own grumbling stomach. It would have died of starvation if it weren't for it's loyal comrades, the crows.
"Yo, snap out of your day-dreaming and get something to eat. We are not going to be your servants and BEAK-feed you all day long!" cried the first crow.
"I AM NOT HUNGRY, NOW SHUT UP, Takamiya!" roared the disturbed lion.
"But you've got to. Don't you want to try to find a way to regain your true form and rule your kingdom once more?" asked two of the crows, simultaneously.
" ". Thinking.
"What's bothering your Royal Majesty's mind, if I may ask," asked the last crow, politely.
"Nothing of your concern, Youhei. But thanks for asking; you are the only one that understands me. You are a true, loyal friend any king would want."
The crows could not stand the poor lion's agony, and flew off to find a place where they may discuss the matter properly without arousing the lion anger.
"What do you make of this, Noma? The king seems very distracted ever since he came back from the castle the other night," asked Youhei in a worried tone.
"There are some possibility of events that may have happened in the castle on that night."
"Give me some suggestions that you think may have happened there."
"Number 1: He has checked the cherry blossom tree and found out that he is running out of time. Number 2: He cannot seem to get anyone's attraction or anyone to love him. Number 3: There are no candidates. Number 4: There is someone who loves him but she is not his type. Number 5: He loves someone but that someone doesn't love him. OR."
"Someone loves him and he loves that someone, BUT he does not know how to tell that someone that he loves her, right!"
"Right!"
"I suggest that we help him out a little bit to get the party started."
"That's the best idea I've ever heard in ages. Let's go!"
Off they flew to the castle with only one goal in their minds, which is, to find the girl and ask her whether she loves the king or not. Upon reaching the castle, they asked the castle's occupants where they kept the girl.
"GIRL, what girl? There is no girl in this castle. Only a young man." Answered Mitsui.
"No GIRL! Only a MAN! Take us to him!"
They found Kaede sulking gloomily in his room. According to the Mitsui, he has been like that since he first met the king. The crows wondered at this, for they smell something fishy going on. They flew up to Kaede and nearly scared the daylights out of him. He was about to slap them away when Youhei began,
"Do you still recognize us, young man? We were the very same crows which saved your life, remember?"
"Oh!"
"We just want to ask you something very important. You will not object?"
"No. I won't"
"Will you answer truthfully?"
"Yes."
"What have you done with our KING!?"
"Nothing."
"Are you sure?"
" "
"We are waiting."
"I.I just kissed him, that's all."
"WHAT?!" They fell to the floor, feathers fluttering about.
"Why did you do THAT?"
"Because I like him. Is that a problem?"
"So that is the reason," they cried in unison. They began to understand the situation. Somehow they know the solution to the lion's problem.
"I think he likes him too," they whispered.
"But that's impossible. They are both MEN!"
"Love is blind. That minor characteristic does not matter to them."
"OK, Kaede. Now that we know what is going on, it is time for us to tell you something that you must know about our king. Are you ready?" they announced grandly.
"Yes."
"Are you sure you can you handle the truth?" they smirked evilly.
He panicked.
