Chapter 2
As the three stallions came to a halt the sight of the king and his men
charging into the rebellions camp and commencing battle greeted them.
*A grand sight, king Seiryuu is at his most magnificent when in battle. * Stated the sandy haired boy in awe of his king actions.
'Indeed he is Suboshi.' Stated Nakago in an equally awed state.
"Hmpf, grand indeed is the needless slaughter of many for the pleasure and satisfaction of one man." Spoke Tasuki, entirely unimpressed and disgusted at the king's actions. The way in which he wielded his blade above his head only to bring it down again and again in order to strike down dreams, to slash away hope and splash the red tears of his subjects across the ground.
'Watch your tongue Tasuki, he is after all my father and your king.' Warned Nakago defending his father as and good son who is next in line for the throne should.
As Nakago and Tasuki stared at each other's eyes searching for answers to unvoiced questions their quests were interrupted by Suboshi,
*Shall we partake in the pleasantries sire? * What a drawling tone thought Tasuki.
'Yes, lets.' Came Nakago's reply, and with that the two sped off towards the half burning remnants of a village.
Tasuki knew it was pointless to voice his objections and hastily try to stop the prince; this had to be thought through. He knew what kind of act was being carried out before him, it held no trace of bravery in the eyes of ones enemies, as the peasants knew that they were to die if they fought back, but they still fought on for the good of the village, and so in the process being dishonourably destroyed by the kings cavalry: the rebellion was helpless against such force!
He would have none of it, he was going to stop the prince from joining in this insane journey of blood lust and by Suzaku he was going to do it now!
With that thought Tasuki galloped towards the prince on his majestic black stallion.
As he did so he became aware that the prince and that bloodthirsty boy had entered a largely unmanned area, oh no, an ambush! As he had thought out stormed a large number of the rebellion heading for Nakago weapons raised.
'Nakago!!' Screamed Tasuki; still ever forcing his beast to move with unimaginable speed.
The prince had noticed his predicament and was trying desperately to escape it as his father leaped over a nearby fence on his royal white stallion to come to his only sons aid, after all blood does run thicker than water.
/Die peasant scum!!! / Was king Seiryuu's battle cry as he indeed saved his son from an untimely death. As the rescue attempt by the king commenced all that could be heard was the clash of metal, tearing of flesh and the screams, the agonizingly painful screams.
Before Tasuki could reach the now three unlucky victims of the ambush the king was struck from his horse.
'Father!!!!' Was Nakago's distressed final call to his father as the rebels axes struck the kings fallen form. Tasuki dismounted as soon as he reached king Seiryuu and Nakago and quickly fended away those that had harmed his king without having to kill any of the rebels in the process.
"Flee now Nakago, take your father I will guard your back." Tasuki told Nakago, who complied knowing that the matter was not up for discussion.
'Be safe my friend. Were Nakago's last words to Tasuki as he picked up his father with Suboshi's aid.
"Nakago look out!!" Shouted Tasuki as a blade was aimed at Nakago's chest and advancing fast, as it was about to land his blow Tasuki pushed Nakago out of harms way and instead of striking Nakago the blade pierced Tasuki's chest and went straight through to come out of his back.
His pain was made audible in the hiss that left his lips. At the sight of the one that had captured his heart being run through at his expense Nakago seemed to lose that final straw of hesitation the he held and lashed out at everyone nearby on the opposing side or not.
The blade once removed from Tasuki's chest clattered to the ground as the body and blood of the one who had wielded fell also, so did Tasuki fall to his knees unceremoniously clutching the wound were the blade had pierced.
As the rebellion was defeated and those that had lived had fled or been captured it was safe to concentrate on the wounded once more. They were helped onto horses with the uninjured men and sent back to the castle for treatment.
"I need no aid boy, I can and will ride back alone. Stated Tasuki as Suboshi attempted to help him onto his horse.
*If you say so. * Suboshi commented off handily not really caring as to whether or not the prince's teacher died.
Tasuki managed to mount his stallion and rode back to the castle bleeding badly and slipping in and out of consciousness. He vaguely remembers Nakago's voice but nothing of what he said. No his most vivid memory was from the castle.
They arrived at the gates of the castle of the Kutou empire shortly after the battle, one sided as it may have been was still deemed a battle. Nakago and some of the castles staff took Tasuki to a room, which is where he lain till Nakago could find aid for him.
Somewhere else in the castle Nakago searched for someone to help Tasuki. It was then that he happened to come upon a strange traveller that he had heard of, a mage healer of sorts.
'You there, you are the mage I've heard of are you not?' He sounded callous but he cared not, he needed help for Tasuki and he needed it now!
^Hai, I am he no da. ^ The strange blue haired man with gravity defying bangs replied. He was dressed in a simple pastel green tunic with a white and blue sash of sorts. Obviously a foreigner thought Nakago.
'Good come with me I' am in need of your services. Nakago turned to walk away knowing that the man would follow or face his wrath and this man didn't appear to be as dim witted as most.
As Nakago had thought he had followed and they now stood at the door to the room in which Tasuki was being kept.
My comrade is injured, gravely so that I believe he needs your help mage. He is behind that door Nakago indicated to the large wooden door to his right with large iron bolts in.
^Hai, I'll help him na no da. ^ There's those words again thought Nakago, he then added to ensure his friends safety;
If you so much as harm one hair on his body I swear by Suzaku you will regret ever crossing my path. The mage just nodded and proceeded to open the door and enter the room in which Tasuki was.
The last thing that Tasuki remembered before he blacked out completely was laying on a soft something, it must have been a bed, but his brain seemed to be having trouble comprehending his thoughts at the moment. Then the door to his left opened and the dimly lit room was basked in a glow from the corridor and in the doorway stood the most beautiful sight that any man could ever behold.... A cerulean blue haired angel.
That thought for some reason stayed with him as the darkness reclaimed him once more.
