Troubles' for Rei

It's been a week since Rei became a servant at the castle, and he was not the most popular person, especially with the guys. Rei had just finished his chores and was now in the garden. He climbed up a tree and looked out to the horizon. His topaz eyes shined as the sun hit them. He smiled as he remembered something from his past…

~ A few years back ~

"Now Rei! What have told you about climbing trees?" A woman told her 10-year-old son. " It is very dangerous!"

" No it isn't. It is fun!" The boy giggled at his mothers' annoyed expression, then her expression relaxed into a more

" Okay son, have it your way." His mother agreed, and began to climb the tree. When she reached up where he was, and seated herself on a stable branch, she looped her arms around his waist and lifted him up onto her lap. She caressed his hair as they watched the sunset together.

"It's beautiful, isn't it mother?" his tiny voice observed.

"Yes, Rei it is beautiful." They watched the sunset until nightfall. The boy had rested his head on his mothers' chest. She continued to stroke his hair.

"Momma?"

"Yes?"

" Will I ever be able to catch a star?" He asked as he watched a falling star shoot across the sky.

" If you really want to, I suppose you could." His mother answered. He looked up at his mother and then asked,

"Do you ever think I'll be able to see…an angel?" she softly laughed and answered,

" Yes, my son you will." She smiled down at him and kissed his forehead. He giggled. They continued to watch the stars twinkle above.

~ Present Day ~

He let out a sigh as he looked at the now starlit sky. He leaned his head on the tree and closed his eyes. He was almost asleep when someone jumped on the branch nearly knocking him off.

" Hey! What the…!" he looked at the person responsible. He nearly fell out of the tree again when he saw who it was,

"Kevin! You nearly gave me a heart attack! What are you doing here any way?"

"When I found you were brought here to the castle I had to come see how you were doing."

" How did you get in? Guards are everywhere!"

" I snuck past them. How else?" Rei shook his head pitifully at his friend.

" You could get in big trouble if they find you here, Kevin."

" They won't find me. I'm to hard to find."

"Your not THAT hard to find, Kevin."

" I am so that hard to find! You couldn't find me." Rei rolled his eyes.

" Whatever you say Kevin, what ever you say."

The two boys continued talking into the night. They were so busy talking that they didn't take notice of a pair of eyes watching them. They continued to talk until daybreak.

" You'd better get going. Don't want to get caught do you?"

"Yeah I guess. Nice talking to ya Rei! I'll come back tomorrow."

" Okay. See ya!" Rei watched the small green haired boy until he was out of sight. He let out a sigh and jumped out of the tree. He stretched as he walked inside. He was then shoved out of the way by another servant.

"Hey!"

"Watch were you're going!"

" I was. It was you who shoved me!" Rei retorted, with narrowed eyes. The other servant turned to face him. He was taller than Rei and had his brown hair pulled onto a tail at his neck. He glared down at Rei.

" If I shove people it means that they are in my way. You were in my way so…" Rei interrupted him.

"That gives you no right to shove people!" He was then shoved into the wall by a very large hand.

" Hey ya big ox, put me down!" Rei shouted as he struggled to get free. The guy just smirked at him. He then leaned in close to Rei's face and said,

" No one interrupts me." The large servant glared up at Rei who glared back at him, obviously unafraid of him which enflamed the hotheaded servants temper even more. He growled at the littler servant.

" Hey put me down, NOW!" Rei demanded.

"No one orders me around! Especially shrimpy kittens like you."

" I would rather be a shrimpy kitten than a big pig, like you!" Rei shot back at him. He growled as his grip tightened on Rei's neck.

" No one insults me, and lives." Rei was jerking on the mans wrist to try to get to loosen his grip. Finding it useless he started kicking with all his might. The man chuckled as he tightened his grip on Reis neck. Rei gasped for air.

" Oushi! Put him down now!" a shrill voice came from behind him. The voice made him drop Rei who began coughing and holding his neck.

"Oushi! You should be ashamed of your self!"

" But Tannice! He bumped into me first. Th…"

"I do not want to hear it! You do not kill any servants."

" No…No excuses. Go and tend to your duties."

" But…" She glared at him, which made him, quit talking and leave, but not before he glared at Rei.

'This is not over.' He mouthed at him and left. She sighed and turned to Rei.

"I am so sorry about his behavior." She helped him up.

"Thanks." He looked at her. She had Reddish- brown hair that was pulled into a ponytail at the middle of her head, and her eyes were bright green. She had a light skin color, not at all tanned. She had a very shapely face with a narrow but small nose. She was a little shorter than him and had a very shapely figure. She wore a red dress, which was tied, at her waist with a white tie. She also wore black slip-on shoes. She smiled and asked,

" Are you going to be alright?"

"Yes, I'll be fine." He smiled at her, and began to walk away. She watched his retreating figure. He was wearing a white shirt, which was tucked in, at his waist. His belt was black and was on blue baggy pants that ended at his heel on his feet were black slip on shoes. She smiled as he disappeared around the hall. She turned and descended down the hall.

When he got to his room he flopped on his bed, he put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes. Again he was about to go to sleep when…

BRINGGGGGGGG! BRINGGGGGGGGGGG! It startled him and he fell out of bed with a thud.

"Ow…" he rubbed his head and stood up. He sighed as he made his way to the door. He got to the princess' door he was about to knock when a very angry looking princess opened the door.

" Just where have you been?!" She hissed her eyes narrowed.

"Well…I…uh…I…" Rei stammered. She narrowed eyes even more and growled.

" I have been calling for you for the past hour and a half!" She growled.

" I am sorry, I didn't mean to be late. It won't happen again, I promise." He said apologetically, and bowed. She tightened her lips as she watched him.

" That doesn't excuse the fact that it took you this long to get here!" He sighed as he stood up.

"What can I do to make it up Princess?" He asked. As he looked at her shoulder not being able to look her in the face. She was wearing a light blue blouse with a white sash around her waist, and had a slight darker blue skirt that ended at her ankles, and on her feet were white shoes. He took a chance and looked at he face, She had bright golden eyes and her hair was crimped into small curls that hung in front of her ears. The rest was pulled into a small ponytail at the top of her head. Her skin was slightly darker than the woman before. Her lips were a slight shade of pink.

"Hello! Did you hear me!" she asked as she snapped he fingers in front of his face. He shook his head and got a tinge of pink on his cheeks.

" Sorry Princess, What did you say?" he asked.

" I said for you to bring me my dinner along with some white wine if you don't mind." She said.

" Yes, your highness." He turned to walk away…

" Oh and Rei… I better not catch you looking at me like that again. Do I make myself clear?!" Rei's blush increased and said,

" Yes your highness." He bowed again and walked away. She smiled at his retreating figure. She waited until his figure was out of sight before she shut her door.
