Juri led her horse to the castle stables. She leapt off of its high back, landing like an agile cat on her feet. She pulled the tall peach colored steed towards its stall, pulling off the saddle and hanging it on the metal hook on the wall.
The curly haired girl searched for the wire brush and started the tedious work of brushing out its snarly mane.
ÒItÕs late, Arisugawa. Where have you been all night?Ó A tall muscular man leaned against the door frame.
Ò I DONÕT have to answer to you, Kiryuu.Ó Juri said sarcastically. ÒI am the Head Knight. NOT you!Ó Her emerald green eyes blazed with fury.
ÒYouÕre only Head Knight because the queen is a feminist.Ó He sneered at her. ÒBut being Head Knight doesnÕt give you the right to do whatever you want.Ó
ÒUnlike you, Kiryuu. I have a mission to accomplish. Screwing women is not a mission!Ó
ÒJust because you get to do the endless search for ÔThe MoonÕs HopeÕ, doesnÕt mean you canÕt have a little roll around in bed.Ó
ÒYouÕre disgusting!Ó
ÒA good lay would probably calm you down. I am sure I can find you a hot hoochie momma that would be willing to screw a woman.Ó
ÒDrop dead you pervert!Ó Juri screeched, throwing the bristle wire brush at his head.
Touga ducked easily out of fire, laughing at her. ÒYouÕll probably need a week with a bush whacker to calm your nerves.Ó He bends down and picks up the brush, tossing it gently to her. He then strut off, his laughter the only thing that could be heard in the silent morning.
ÒSon of a bitch.Ó Juri grumbled under her breath, squeezing the brush tightly in her grasp until the bristles dug into her palm, causing small bloody scratches. The vermilion haired girl took a deep breath, counted to ten, then resumed brushing Julianna.
A Unicorn lay under a weeping willow tree, doing her best to avoid the middayÕs sun. With her fur she felt like she was being suffocated. Her violet eyes stared out at the cool welcoming lake, tempting her to jump in. But of course she knew that the cool water would only feel good for a moment. There was no use risking valuable energy to go out into the scalding sun.
~I wonder if that girl really meant what she said.~ The Unicorn thought to herself. She stared out from under the leafy curtains at a little newborn fawn trying to walk. The little ÔkidÕ was failing miserably at his task; stumbling over his four feet like a drunk. He fell to the ground with a Òthump.Ó
The unicorn neighed amused at the adorable sight.
The fawnÕs mother nudged him to his feet. The spotted babe blatted at her, but stood up and began walking again, a little more steadily this time.
The UnicornÕs ears perked up. ~Horses?!~ She neighed loudly to the fawn and itÕs mother. ~Leave!! Hunters!~
The doe tried to edge her child into the tall grass getting him to crouch down and stay quiet. The unicorn melted further into the shadows of the willow tree.
Ò...What was her excuse for being gone so long?Ó a gruff male voice spoke out to the rider ahead of him.
ÒShe told me that,Ó the man cleared his throat and spoke in a more feminine voice. ÒI am head knight, and I donÕt have to answer to you!Ó
All the men except one laughed at TougaÕs imitation. ÒThat sounded just like her.Ó A British man spoke. He tossed his long blue bang out of his face.
ÒI hate how she has power over us. ItÕs bad enough we have to listen to a Queen.Ó
ÒI donÕt think itÕs bad listening to a queen.Ó a small meek voice made itself known.
Touga whirled his horse around to face the young blue haired boy and shouted at him. ÒNo one asked you, Ôflower boy!Õ
The unicorn recognized most of the men. 10 years older, but it was still them. ~Knight Kiryuu, Knight Saionji, Knight Ruka... Still as arrogant as ever.~
ÒMiki. Why donÕt you go back? YouÕre just a kid. This is a manÕs job.Ó Ruka spoke to the thin boy.
ÒI was given this mission just like you. It would probably be better if we split up to search for ÔThe MoonÕs HopeÕ.Ó Miki suggested.
Touga laughed at such a suggestion. ÒHow about you search this area and weÕll look in the woods.Ó Touga demanded rather than suggested.
Miki went to open his mouth than closed it deciding it would probably be better if he stayed behind that go with them. ~TheyÕll probably have one of their male orgies again.~ ÒI like that plan.Ó
ÒWeÕll come back for you later, maybe.Ó Touga muttered, then motioned for the others to follow as he kicked his horse into a run.
ÒGood riddance.Ó Miki spoke to himself as he gazed across the landscape. ÒSuch goof-offs. We are supposed to be looking for the ÒMoonÕs hope,Õ and what do they do? Run off and have fun.Ó He sighed and slide off his horse to let it graze.
ÒI live to sing for my dearest love. I am here to listen to the waters play. But I cannot search for him because I am here on this rock for all eternity.Ó
MikiÕs eyed widened as he searched for the owner of such an angelic singing voice.
The Unicorn cursed inwardly. ~WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MERMAID THINK SHE IS DOING?! SheÕs going to get us all discovered! Damn her for coming out early without giving me the signal!~ She glared out from under the tree at the absentminded water creature. ~Stupid girl...~
The brown haired mermaid was perched on a rock, playing with her hair as she sang her love song; not knowing that her song was attracting someoneÕs attention. She started to sing random chords as her finger combed the snarls.
The blue haired boy stared at the mermaid, entranced by her song. He had never seen a mermaid before. His mother always told him that they only existed in myths. Boy his mother was wrong. ÒBeautiful...Ó
The Mermaid gasped and whirled around, sending her hair flying in every direction, exposing her full naked breasts. She stared at the blue haired boy wide eyed, not knowing what to do.
~Smooth move Mermaid..... NICE... now we are discovered...~ The Unicorn thought to herself but kept quiet, not wanting to draw attention to herself or the others.
The mermaid dove into the cool waters to escape the pair of eyes staring at her. ÒOh no... Please come back! I mean you no harm.Ó
The mermaid poked her head through the top of the water, her eyes staring at him. ÒWho are you?Ó She called out meekly to him.
Miki cleared his throat and spoke out to her. ÒMiki Kaoru. I am a Knight of a nearby Kingdom.Ó he bowed in respect to her. ÒPlease tell me your name... If you have one.Ó
ÒWakaba... I am called Wakaba.Ó She inched carefully to a rock closer to him.
~Well... he seems to have manners...~ The Unicorn thought to herself as she came out of hiding, letting the others know it was all right to come out. All the forest creatures came cautiously out of hiding. They inched very carefully to Miki.
ÒYou are lucky, Wakaba, that one of the other Knights didnÕt see you out on that rock. You could have been captured.Ó
ÒI am sorry. You know I canÕt hear you when I am singing.Ó
The unicorn sighed and nodded. ÒYes I do know. But you know that you should be more cautious during the daytime. I am going to lay down. You keep an eye out for the other Knights.Ó She spoke in a tone of authority, then disappeared into the woods to sleep the afternoon and her curse away.
