Chapter two : Vague

"What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?"

~W.H Davies

~Tsarde~

Uesugi Eiri was bored. Really, he was getting irritated with all of this. He just wanted to go home, read some books or do whatever it is but not spending time with people that called themselves 'deer hunters'. On their horses, spread their bows with their pride and smiled dumbly if there were some deer they have been hurt.

He sighed. Only because he was the prince in Tsarde didn't mean he could do what he wanted. It was the opposite of it. He, at that time, was tired because the day before he had such, crazy sex with another women that had been there to serve him. He was tired but his father forced him to go hunter Yeah, it was all torture to them. Also, in fact that his little brother, Uesugi Tatsuha, came to this event made his headache bigger. He grunted.

"What's happening, aniki*? You seem have no interaction at all. You haven't caught any of those deer. " His little brother, Tatsuha, on his brown horse, approached him with his dumb smile.

"Nothing." He said plainly.

"Wow, just 'nothing'? It's weird, because as a prince from this country, from what I've heard, His royal highness would really enjoy this event and get home with the most of those 'objects'."

He chose not to respond. His blonde hair waved softly because of the wind.  Yeah right, actually he got the most deer, but now he was not in the mood because his little brother came to see how best he was in the field to catch deer! (Also because of his tiredness)  For the sake of Hell, why don't his stupid little brother do it himself? He didn't really care, anyway.

"Which way should we take, your majesty? Right or left?" asked one of the deer hunters.

"Right." "Left", Eiri and Tatsuha said all in once. Tatsuha said right and Eiri said left.

The deer hunter has a sweat drop in his head. "Err….anou….Prince Eiri-sama?"

"Left" Eiri said. Right was the way to go back to the castle. Eiri didn't want to go home. Not like Tatsuha. All of them turned left.

"Aniki*, How if some weird people suddenly appeared inside this way?"

"It won't happen, stupid." Eiri jerked Tatsuha.

He didn't know his words would betray him after that

Far away inside, Shuuichi and Hiro were running. All their surroundings were snow, snow, and snow everywhere! All seemed to be made by a pure white color. Unfortunately, they have no time to praise the snow. The two of them must run as fast as they could, ignoring the cold sense they felt. Or they'll be cold and freeze.

"Ouch!!" Hiro fell down. And the cloak that he wore opened a little, revealed a light brown skin and the brown eyes that showed pain. "Ouch!!"

"Oh my God! Hiro! Carefull...." Said Shuuichi. He examined Hiro and noticed that his friend's ankle was hurt. He helped his friend shifted quickly, and began to walk together, let Hiro leaned to him.

"You can bare to walk a little more, can't you Hiro?"

"Of course Shu, just easy, don't get too rushed"

"Hiro, we're in the middle of the snow! If we aren't hurry, we will freezing!!" Shuuichi shouted back from inside the cloak he wore.

"Oh, okay…" mumbled Hiro.

They walked through the snow quietly.

Until they realized that they weren't surrounded by snow only but also trees.

"I'm so tired, Hiro." Mumbled Shuuichi.

"Yeah, me too. By the way, where are we?"

"I think we are in Tsarde, Hiro. But I have no idea where are the capital city of Tsarde. Mustn't it too far from the bay?"

Hiro smiled. "It is because we don't ride horse like others. Others ride horses to reach the capital city."

Shuuichi nodded. "Yeah." He knew well what was Hiro mean. They had escaped from that castle, went to the bay and got into the ship. In the ship, they tried to not attract many people's attention. It was hard because he was a famous prince. At the end they have to exit from the back exit because some people had spotted he. They end up ran here.

Suddenly he saw something sparkle. He blinked, didn't want to believe it. But it sparkled again, and became lighter.  He tried to focus his eyes; 'Do I really see something? Or am I just day dreaming?' 

"Hey, Hiro. Do you see something sparkle at there? I think I saw it before."

Hiro shook his head. "Nah. I don't' see anyth—" At that time, the light became closer and sparkled again.

"See, I told you!" Shuuichi smiled at him with amusement in his face, "Hey, would you mind to stand here alone while I would try to get help from whoever has that light? Maybe they could help us."

"Okay, at your service, prince. I'll do what you want. Sorry, if it isn't because my ankle, then I'll run with you to approach them."

"Nah. Don't get them into a big deal." Shuuichi smiled."One more thing, don't call me prince anymore, Hiro." He added seriously.

Shuuichi turned around and ran to the source of the light. And all Hiro could do just watch.

####++++++#####

Eiri and others kept walked. Eiri looked up to the sky, the sun began to loose his brightness. It was beginning to get dark. And in the darkness it wasn't good to hunter.

But, his pride couldn't let him get home. Others have already had many dead deer even Tatsuha has two. He still has none. That pissed him off. He wouldn't go home until he got at least one deer. He hissed, "Keep going!"

"But your majesty, it almost dark. In the darkness we couldn't see our objects." one of the hunter complained.

He raised one of his eyebrows. "Who are you to complain the Prince's wiling? I warn you to keep your mouth shut if you want to safe your life."

"Go…gomenasai, your majesty…Of course, we'll do what you want." He trembled.

Eiri smirked inside. No one would against his desire.

Tatsuha rode his brown horse, approached him. "Pissed off, eh, Aniki?"

"Shut up" He commanded.

They walked quietly in almost dark atmosphere. Eiri saw one of the hunters lighted his light. 'Good' he thought, 'that will help me to see the objects'.

Suddenly, something caught his attention. Far away, there was a deer, a little bigger then the other, ran approached them. He saw it because of its shadow. He didn't waste this chance. He moved his white horse a little bit to get near of his object and quickly he spread his bow, focused the arrow in his object and let it go strongly. He smirked.

####++++++######

Shuuichi was running fast. He wondered, why hasn't he get in the source of that light? Why it felt so far?

But he ignored it. He ran faster, faster, and faster until he realized something was moving to him fast.

He blinked.

Far away, Hiro shouted, "Shuuichi! MOVE!!!!!"

"AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!" It was too late. A sharp, long metal has embedded in his right chest.

Shuuichi fell down, slowly. As he fell down, he has a chance to see what has stabbed him. It was an arrow. An arrow, which has been pointed to him, to catch and kill him. His cloak spread widely, revealing a red liquid that spread from his right chest.

He was trembling badly, blood was scattered all over his body

Hiro approached him not so long after and examined him. "Shuuichi! You must get help! You've stabbed by an arrow! The one who has done to you must pay deeply!"

Shuuichi was losing his consciousness. Before he got fainted, he saw men around them, shouted and questioned something he didn't care, Hiro shouted angrily to them, and finally, one of those men, the one that was riding a white horse, got off from his horse, approached him gently and lifted him. That man was like an angel; his eyes were emerald-golden, his hair was blonde and the man said something…..like… "Kuso…gaki…*?" .

Suddenly all went black.
