Chapter One: Memories

"Fuu!" a beautiful blonde haired, middle aged woman yelled out. "Fuu! I know you're here, come on out!" the queen yelled out.
Fuu, the younger of the two princesses of the Houji Kingdom giggled as her mom went right past her. They were out of the palace and in the forest. They would always go into the forest to have a picnic, and Fuu would always play hide-n-seek with her mother. Fuu, a blonde like her mother was extremely intelligent, but too shy and quiet, she has beautiful green eyes that would outshine any emerald, although it is kept covered with her glasses. Fuu and her older sister, Kuu, who was two years older than Fuu, also had blonde hair, although it was long and curly, with eyes the color of teal green instead of emerald green. Although the two love each other very much, Kuu being the future queen has many tasks to tend to, and Fuu, who is only five, only learn embroidery and etiquette. Wanting to help her sister, she learned many other subjects, such as math and science, to aid her sister in whatever way she can.
Suddenly, Fuu couldn't hear her mom anymore, so she got out of her hiding place, and started to take in her surroundings, her mother was no where in sight, and there were only trees, grass, and bushes. "Mom!" Fuu yelled hopelessly. Fuu began running in the direction she remembered last hearing her mother's voice. She ran and ran, and suddenly found, her mother struggling with a man.
"Mother!" Fuu yelled, rushing over. The man seeing her, took a knife out of his belt, and stabbed her mother in her stomach, making her stop dead in her tracks.
"Listen carefully, princess," the man said, menacingly. "You will remember my face, and the name Gunner, for it is I who killed your mother, but heed my word, for you will soon find out, I am not the only one who have done the killing today. Oh, and by the way, I killed her because women like her doesn't deserve to live." And with that, he took his knife out, allowing the blood to gush out freely, and raced off into the woods.
"Mother!!" Fuu cried as she caught her mom before she hit the ground.
"Fuu. . ." her mother whispered.
"Mother. . . Y-you're going to be okay, you'll see, I-I'll just go get someone, you just hold on, k!" Fuu stuttered, beginning to put her mother down.
"No Fuu, that man . . . he was right. Fuu, you must not let your father control your life. . . Do not let him make you dependant like me. . . Tell him that I love him. . . and your sister too. . . Fuu, please, you must learn how to be independent, r. . .remember. . . be independent. . ." and with that she went limp in her hands..
"No, no!! MOTHER!!!"
Ever since that day, Fuu trained, and learned relentlessly. She would go out into the training grounds before the sunrise, and train till noon. When noon came, she would study until dinner, the only meal she would eat, and train some more. Ever since that day, the only person she would talk to was her two best friends, who trained with her, Hikaru, who had flaming red hair, and ruby eyes, who would always be cheery and energetic, and Umi, who had blue serene blue hair, and aquamarine eyes, who would always speak her mind, and has a temper that can kill, her grandfather, who trained her, and her sister, Kuu, who gave her full support. By the time Fuu, Hikaru, and Umi were nineteen, Fuu was made general, with Hikaru as her lieutenant, and along with Umi (who was also like the lieutenant, but didn't want the responsibility) excelled in all styles of fighting and sorcery. Each with their own element, Fuu, wind, Hikaru, fire, and Umi, water, they were unbeatable in the eyes of the Houji Kingdom.

FUU, LET US SEE WHETHER YOU ARE A WEAKLING LIKE YOUR MOTHER OR A TRUE FIGHTER LIKE ME. SO LET THE GAMES BEGIN. GWHAAAAAAAAA!
