Kaye - *sighs* I hope you like it... I know that there must be a lot of fics like this, but well... I can't help it if there's some cliché... This story was written so long time ago...
LiL-AnImE-LuVeR - lol, you're right!! It was a backwards sentence ^_^
Savoan Locc - You know, if you hate Mimato (and us Mimato writers/fans for that matter), why do you read Mimato fics? (I know you read, you know I'm Brazilian, and I said that in the fic) SO WHY THE HECK DO YOU COME JUST TO FLAME ME?! I do not go around criticizing Koumi FOR NO FREAKING REASON!! And you know, I didn't understand 1/3 of your review... So, if you can't even write a flame properly, so I can totally accept your flame... Please, stay away from my fics. I respect Koumi fans, so I was waiting that you would respect me as well. And flames are supposed to help the writer... Not just freaking bash a couple you don't like. Fuck off, and stay from me, I know this is not the 1st time you've flamed me like this, but I hope it's the last. I like Mimato, and there's nothing you can do to change that.
joy - Your wish was granted!!

A Knight's tale
Chapter 3: Meeting
By: Lily Maxwell
~*~ :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ~*~ :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ~*~
In the last chapter, Mimi and Matt got out of their kingdoms to try and stop the way between the two kingdoms, Hire and Kazind. But... would it be easy to do so?
*At Kazind*
Ken walked through the palace, Miya flying just beside him, both looking for Mimi. However, they just met Sora getting out of the castle.
"Sora, where's Princess Mimi?" Ken asked suspicious.
"She got out of the castle. I'm going after her." Sora said simply.
"Got out? What do you mean?" Ken asked, fearing the worse.
"She went towards Hire, to try making King Isadore forget about the war." Sora answered.
"She went to Hire?!" Ken exclaimed, blinking. "But to get there..."
"I know, that's why I'm going after her." Sora said.
"We're going with you!" Miya said, and Ken nodded. Sora smiled.
"Okay, let's go then." Sora said, nodding.
"What's going on?" someone asked, as they were about to leave. "What is this about war? Where are you going?"
A girl with light-brown and short hair, plus brown eyes stood behind them, looking rather confused.
"K-Kari?!" Sora asked. "W-what are you doing here?"
"I want to know what's going on." Kari said simply, looking at each one of them.
"It's a long story..." Sora said, sighing.
Ken and Sora told Kari everything that was happening, and the girl looked determined.
"I'm going with you!" she said.
"Kari, it's too dangerous!" Sora began, concerned. "We can't let you go along!"
"Sora, my brother is in that Kingdom! If this war begins, I may never see him again!" Kari complained.
"Brother? You've got a brother?" Miya asked.
"Yes. His name's Taichi. Taichi Kamiya." Kari said, smiling.
Taichi?.... Tai... Kamiya... Sora thought, then shook her head. It must be a coincidence... (A/N: Doesn't she know that there are no coincidences, just the inevitable? *sweatdrop* Sorry, keep reading ^^U)
"And besides, I didn't stay here studying magic for nothing!" Kari said, placing her hands on her hips. Both teens sighed.
"Okay, Kari, you can go along... Right Sora?" Ken asked the elder one, and she nodded,
"Right, Kari, you'll come along. Now let's go." Sora said, and they all parted. When they were about to get out of the gates, Jyou stopped them.
"Joe, let us pass!" Sora pleaded, but the knight shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Sora, but there are the king's orders. No one leaves the palace." He said.
"I'm sorry, Joe..." Kari said, taking a small rod out of her robes. Joe blinked.
"Why?" he asked, confused.
"Sleep!" Kari said, agitating her rod, and a small mist covered Joe's body. Soon, he was asleep. Passing him, they headed towards Hire.
Meanwhile, in Hire...
Tai and TK walked towards the castle's main gate.
"TK..." Tai whispered. "... are you sure you want to do this? It's very dangerous, you know..."
"Tai..." TK began, and said through gritted teeth. "shut your big mouth and keep going!" he half-whispered-half-yelled.
"Okay, ok, geez..." Tai complained under his breath. "Impatient teens these days..."
Both got to the gate, but the young guard Iori didn't let them pass.
"They're the king's straight orders, Tai. No one enters, no one leaves." He said.
"Bye, Cody..." TK said, taking a staff out of... nowhere?
"What?" Cody asked.
"Illusion!" TK chanted, and Tai blinked. Cody blinked confusedly, looked around, then rubbed his head frowning, going back to his guard position.
"What the hell-" Tai began, but TK placed his hand on his mouth.
"Sush!!" he muttered, and indicated for them to keep going, walking away from Cody and the castle. Later he whispers to Tai. "I used a Illusion, you moron! He thought we weren't actually there, but he could hear us if you kept talking, and then he'd notice I used magic, dork!"
"Okay." Tai pouted and frowned. "Enough of babbling, let's move on."
And both walked away.
*Far away from Kazind's palace...*
Mimi had walked a lot, until she reached a place she wouldn't like to be...
"Uh oh..." she muttered. "I forgot about this place..."
Ahead of her, there was a big and dark forest. At the entrance, there was a sign, old and almost destroyed, with almost unreadable letters, saying "Fear Forest". (A/N: Okay, no flames... I wrote this a long time ago, and I'm using the original names of the things Sorry if it's lame...)
"I'll have to pass through this... and it's dangerous..." she took a deep breath. "But, let's go!"
Mimi entered the forest. Just as she did, strange sounds came from everywhere. She started to get scared, but kept going. She couldn't let her father create a war between her Kingdom and Hire. It was too wrong.
~ ~ ~
Matt finally got to the Forest's entrance, and shivered. Oh gods... he hadn't planned the way through such horrible place. Indeed, he had forgotten about that place...
"... I'll have to pass through this forest." He frowned. "Well, I have no time to waste."
He entered the forest quickly, and began to hear to strange animal sounds, and the sounds of the leaves moving along with the cold wind, that passed through his being, making him shiver slightly.
"Uuhh.... Freaky..." he muttered.
He started to walk, slowly and carefully, always with a bad feeling in the back of his head. After hours and hours walking (it seemed like it to him), Matt got to a way with two paths, one to the left and other to the right. Wishing luck was with him at that moment, he chose going to the left.
After a few more minutes walking, Matt heard something he wished he hadn't.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
A scream (A/N: Davis: No really? Lily: Shut up ¬¬).
~ ~ ~
Mimi walked for what seemed like hours, always having the feeling she was being watched. Sometimes, she would suddenly look back, suspicious. But nothing would be there.
She finally got to a place that looked like the forest's center. There were two paths, one to the left and other to the right (A/N: You already know this... -_-U), and thinking wisely, she chose the one to the right, and kept walking.
After a little while, she heard something... not really pleasant. When she turned around, slowly and carefully, she found herself face-to-face with a wild wolf. Unable to do anything, Mimi fell to the ground, and thought nothing more than to scream.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
~ ~ ~
Matt followed the scream, and soon he found a girl, sitting on the ground, totally terrified, while a wild wolf was slowly approaching towards her. Not a bit hesitant, he grabbed his sword on his waist, and ran to help her.
~ ~ ~
Totally terrified with the wolf, Mimi could barely move. But soon she saw something... really surprising. Someone with a sword tried to hit the wolf, but the animal realized the person's presence before and dodged, running away.
~ ~ ~
Matt tried to hit the wolf, but he realized he was there and dodged, fleeing after that.
The young prince walked towards the girl that used a cloak with a hood, and he was unable to see her face. But he saw, on her cloak, a crest... that he could swear he had seen before.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
~ ~ ~
"Are you okay?" the stranger asked.
Mimi was totally impressed.
He's so... handsome... she thought. After a few more seconds, she realized he had spoken to her, and hurriedly she stood up, answering him at least.
"I-I'm fine..." she replied, totally lost in his amazing blue eyes...
"You've got to be more careful." He began to say. "This forest is really dangerous, even though it's day." He raised an eyebrow. "Why are you here?"
"I'm going to Hire." She answered.
"Hire? I just came from there. You just have to go..." he looked back, but saw no other path.
"Go...?" she asked, wanting to know her way.
"Well, I huh..." he closed his eyes. "I guess I'm a little lost..."
