*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yumia and Youko slept peacefully in each other's embraces and Rimu slept in a tree a little way from them. The sun rose up over the horizon and the three started to stir when the rays of sun hit there faces.
Youko opened his eyes and looked around and then down at Yumia who was cuddled up to him as close as she could get. He smiled and lightly laid her down no the ground as he got up and walked toward the tree Rimu was sleeping in. He looked up it and saw Rimu asleep with his tails swishing lightly in the morning breeze. I can't wait to get this over with so I can be with Yumia and start a real life.
Youko thought and glanced back at Yumia and then he turned back to Rimu. "Hey get up let's go to the castle and get this mission over with!" Youko yelled and Rimu was so startled by his voice he almost fell out of the tree.
"Damn you," Rimu said as he regained his balance on the tree limb he was sitting on. "Don't do that again." Rimu said in an angry tone as he slowly turned and looked at the rising sun. "Well it's time to go get that sword, come on." Rimu said and jumped down from the tree and started walking toward the castle.
Youko just looked at Rimu with disgust and then he walked over to Yumia and shook her lightly to wake her up. "Wake up my love." Youko said in a caring voice.
"Huh?" Yumia asked as she slowly opened her eyes and looked up at Youko with a smile. "Oh good morning my love." Yumia said and sat up and lightly kissed him on the lips.
"Come on we need to catch up to Rimu, remember we are going to steal the sword today." Youko said and helped Yumia up off the ground.
"Youko why do we have to go and do this?" Yumia asked and looked at Youko a little worried.
"Don't worry as soon as he has that damn sword he wants so bad he won't care if we break our partnership or not, and that's when we'll leave." Youko said and they both started off toward where Rimu had went toward the castle.
~*~In The Castle~*~
"Lord Kuro Youko, Rimu, and Yumia are heading for the castle, three guards on the outsides of the forest said they saw them coming. What should we do my Lord?" A guard asked as he looked at a young man with long red hair that was put up in a high ponytail and dark purple eyes.
"Put all guards on alert and make sure he doesn't get through the wall. My daughter was just born a few hours ago, make sure no one gets near my mate and child while I go out on the front lines." Lord Kuro said as he left out the front door and the guard ran back to another door that lead up to the Lord's mates room.
"Ah so they're putting more guards around the walls, well that won't help them." Rimu said as he got in sight of the stone wall that surrounded Lord Kuro's castle. "Youko do you smell that?" Rimu asked and looked over his shoulder at Youko with a smirk no his face.
"Yea the Lord's daughter must have been born today." Youko said as he lightly sniffed the air.
"Well why don't we take the child along with the sword and train her to fight for us?" Rimu said and smirked at the looks on Yumia and Youko's faces. "Well she could come in handy when she got older." Rimu said and laughed a little and then sped up scaling the wall.
Youko looked back at Yumia who had a worried look on her face as they to scaled the huge stone wall and landed softly on the ground inside the wall.
"I'll go look for the chamber that holds the sword you go and help Rimu, Youko." Yumia said and started off in the direction she thought the sword might be hidden in the castle.
"Okay," Youko said and looked around for Rimu and saw him killing a bunch of guards while he came out of the castle. "Rimu what are you doing?" Youko asked confused and then he saw that Rimu had something in his arms and it was wrapped up in blankets.
"The child's mother wouldn't give her to me so I killed her." Rimu said and smirked when Youko looked at him like he was nothing but a piece of dirt. "Here take her and get over the wall, Yumia will bring the sword."
Rimu said and handed the baby girl to Youko.
Youko looked down at the child and looked into her beautiful violet eyes for a minute and then he slightly smiled when she smiled at him. An arrow whipped past Youko's head and he ducked and then he jumped over the huge wall that surrounded the castle and then when he was far enough away he stopped and looked back at the castle waiting for Rimu and Yumia to come over the wall as well.
~*~Back Inside The Castle~*~
"Rimu I have it! I have the swo..." Yumia started to say as she ran into the main yard but was stopped in the middle of her sentence when someone's sword was jabbed through her stomach. She screamed in pain when the person ripped the sword out her side. She fell to her knees as she held her stomach and side in unbearable pain. Her vision was blurry but she could make out a figure standing in front of her with a bloody sword and the figure was RIMU! "Why...why did you stab me?" Yumia asked as she clenched her side in pain every time she spoke a word.
"Because I got paid to. You see Lord Kuro didn't want his mate he just wanted his daughter so he hired me to come and act like I was trying to steal the sword and then try and take his daughter from his mate and when she wouldn't let me have her kill the bitch." Rimu said and smirked when he noticed blood starting to come from Yumia's mouth. "And my other mission was to kill you and Youko but I really didn't want Youko to die because he is useful unlike you." Rimu said and glared down at Yumia who was in a pool of blood now.
"But I..I hel..ped you." Yumia said and then she clenched her side again in pain and then she fell to the
ground lifeless.
"Well that takes care of that." Rimu said as he pulled his sword up to his shirt and wiped the blood off of it
and then he looked over to the wall to see Youko standing they're looking at him with complete shock. "Oh
hi Youko." Rimu said and smirked.
"You...you bastard!" Youko yelled and glared at Rimu with blood red eyes.
"Oh so you really did love her huh? Oh well." Rimu said and looked over at Lord Kuro walking over to him.
"Ah good I see you got rid of Yumia, but what about...Youko!" Kuro asked and then he saw Youko standing
near the wall holding his daughter. "What is he doing with my daughter?" Kuro asked with a little bit of anger
in his voice.
"I gave her to him so she wouldn't get hurt during all the fighting my Lord." Rimu said and bowed a little to
Lord Kuro. "Youko give Princess Karana to Lord Kuro." Rimu said and looked over Youko and then he
looked down at the bundle of blankets in his arms.
Youko looked down at the baby in his arms and smiled. "So your names Karana huh? Well it suits you." Youko
said and leaned down and kissed her on the cheek and made her giggle a little. He walked over to Kuro and
looked down at him and then he handed him Karana and then turned and looked down at Yumia's lifeless
body laying on the ground. "I will kill you for this Rimu I just want you to know that one-day I will take revenge
for Yumia's death." Youko said and walked over to Yumia's body and picked her up bridle stile and then he
turned and jumped the wall and left with out another word.
"Do you think he will come back here and try and harm my daughter?" Kuro asked in a worried tone as he
watched Youko scale the wall.
"I don't know, Youko is hard to predict." Rimu said and looked over at the small child in Lord Kuro's arms.
She had sparkling pink hair and bright violet eyes. "She is beautiful Lord Kuro you will have no problem
finding her a suitable mate and I can assure you that." Rimu said and smiled down at Karana.
Karana looked up at him and squinted her eyes and then she stuck her tongue out at him.
"I don't think my daughter likes what you're talking about Rimu." Kuro said and laughed a little as everyone
walked back into the castle.
