Chapter 1: The 1st Day Begins

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

A young man with dark tanned skin wearing only white pants paced through the marble halls which used to be host to his honorable father. The popei at his feet made a clacking noise as walked.

It was spring, the flowers in bloom, the trees full with glistening brightly green leaves, the village people out working in the market...the flowers in bloom. Flowers...

"P...P...POLLEN!!! sneezes dramtically" Raishinshi now had a string of snot hanging from his nostril. "I ha...HATE sneezes POLLEN", Raishinshi bellowed. His voice echoed through the hall. Kou Tenka, who was at the end of the hall sitting at a black table with a chess board, shouted, "Pollen comes from flowers Raishinshi!"

"I KNOW THAT" Raishinshi yelled. "Oh really?! Then why don't you put all those flowers you're walking next to outside" Tenka stated in a, man I'm good, kind of way. Raishinshi gave a 'duh' look, but it quickly turned into a menacing grin. In an instant he was speeding from vase to vase lining the long corridor.

Raishinshi, with a mound of various colored flowers, walked to where Kou Tenka was sitting, since he was right beside the balcony. Raishinshi quickly threw the flowers over the edge. "LIGHTENING", he shouted as they fell, suddenly a bright bolt of lightening shot from the sky sizzling every flower into none existence. With a sinister grin, Raishinshi crossed his arms behind his head, "ah...that's taken care of that, now I can finally relax".

"Don't be so sure of that," Tenka peered up at him, his toothpick hanging from the corner his mouth. With a look that said 'what the hell are you talking about' Raishinshi turned towards Tenka, "Why you say that?" Tenka looked back down at his white and black marble chess bored, "I should think you'd know why, dude. Flower boy...you know how emotional he gets". Raishinshi rolled his eyes, "I thought that was only Lotus flowers".

Tenka grinned, focusing on the placement of pawns on the board, "Man, over half those flowers you blasted to pieces were Lotus flowers". Raishinshi raised his eyebrow slightly, "oh". He leaned against a nearby post and sighed. The days grew longer and there appeared to be fewer and fewer things to do to entertain oneself. Taikoubou napped and lounged around everyday oblivious to everything, Youzen went on nature walks and fished, usually with Taikoubou, Kou Tenka usually just hung around the palace all day, Nataku, when not around his mother, was usually floating above some field with a vacant expression.

As Raishinshi glanced around absentmindedly his eyes caught site of a young woman at the other end of the hall. She wore heeled shoes with a pink lace wrapped around her legs till it reached the backs of her knees, where the lace tied. She had on a light pink mini skirt with a white spaghetti strap halter top on. The back of the shirt exposed her entire back, excluding the two sets of thin white strings crisscrossing one another. She had long dark brown hair up in a ponytail and bangs evenly covering most of her forehead with some hair falling to the sides of her face.

Immediately Raishinshi's pupils dilated. "Who is SHE," Raishinshi asked Tenka, without breaking his gaze. Tenka glanced up in the direction the female was standing holding a feather duster with a wooden handle. "She's the new maid your brothers hired. Apparently there weren't ENOUGH hot women pretending that they clean", Tenka looked back down.

Raishinshi got hazy eyed and his face softened, revealing a goofy yet cute smile. Hearing only the silent 'click clack' of heels on marble, Tenka looked up at Raishinshi, "Oh boy," Tenka quickly turned away, knowing that look all to well. "What's her name," Raishinshi questioned at a volume Tenka almost couldn't hear.

"Oh hell no. Sorry man, but I'm not getting in this. I can see it know, first you ask her name, then it's, can you talk to her for me. You wanna know her name, well she's right there points, go ask," Tenka stood up and began to walk off.

"Where are you going," Raishinshi broke his gaze and watched Kou Tenka walking away. "To the pub, been a while since I had a drink. Oh yeah, you still have snot hanging from your nose" Tenka said waving his hand in the air.

Raishinshi's eyes grew wide and he hurridly wiped his nose with his arm, "Ew...ew...ew bad idea". Raishinshi began jumping around while looking for a piece of clothe. "Tenka...WAIT FOR ME"! He shouted as he ran in Tenka's direction.
