Chapter 2: The New Threat
"Damn, that girl is always late!!" Umi complained as she partially blocked yet another blow from Fuu. "You know Hikaru, she's probably busy helping someone, and she'll be here in a sec, besides, she's got too much enough energy to run around this kingdom a million times," Fuu replied, switching her fighting stance, and attacked again. "Lay off will ya!" Umi yelled. "We're training!" Fuu complied, thrusting another attack that Umi couldn't block. "Man, you always win!" Umi complained. "Where's Hikaru when you need her!"
"Prince Ferio!" a royal messenger ran out to the forest grounds, as sweat threatened to drip into Ferio's eyes.
'What is it now?' Ferio thought utterly annoyed. "Your highness, I have urgent news from your sister, the princess, you must return to the castle immediately my prince," the royal messenger rushed, nervous.
"Tell her that I will be there shortly," the green haired, gold eyed prince said.
"But-"
"No buts! Now go!" although Prince Ferio is known for his cockiness and good sense of humor, but when it comes to royal "stuff," he's downright hateful. Knowing this, the messenger immediately left.
"You do realize that you have many responsibilities as a prince, right?" Lantis, the general of Cephiro, said as he lunged at Ferio with his sword.
"Yes, but I do have the right to avoid as many of those as possible you know," Ferio said grinning. "And I also know that as an only son, you do know that you have to marry soon, right?" Seeing Lantis wince, Ferio's grin grew wider as he rapidly made a sequence of attacks, breaking through his defenses, and placed his large sword on his best friend's neck. Everyone in Cephiro knew that the prince of Cephiro and the general are of age to marry. Since the two are just too damn hot and cute, or cool and smooth, with a fine body to boot (or so I'm told by my "lover of all anime" of a friend =P ), all the girls in the kingdom are chasing after the two, especially since one's a prince, and the other is his cousin.
"Are you two done sparring yet?!" Guru Clef demanded. Clef (same age as Lantis and Ferio, and tall!!) is the princess's most trusted trustee, and the best friend of the prince and the general since childhood. He is the most powerful mage of all in Cephiro, and had a high position in court. Guru Clef is known for his calmness and his far sight, and although he is young, he has the mind of a 745 year old man. Since his position and his reputation, he is also one of the top three bachelors in Cephiro (and if you haven't guessed yet, are Ferio, Lantis, and Clef).
"Hold on, we'll get change!" Ferio hollered, leaving to change, but before they got to their locker rooms, some maids walked by them, and burst into a fits of giggles, staring at Ferio.
"What?" Ferio asked.
"If you haven't notice, your shirt is totally soaked," Lantis dryly replied, causing Ferio to look down to his shirt and blush.
"So, who's our future princess, Your Highness?" Clef asked, smugly.
"Shaddup!" Ferio snapped.
"Fuu! Umi!" a certain little red head yelled. Fuu and Umi were still training, although they now switched to magic.
"Aqua Dragon!" Umi screamed. "Later Hikaru!"
"Guardian Wind!" Fuu screamed, shielding herself.
"Wow!" Umi stopped, amazed. "That spell of yours is getting stronger and stronger. Last time, I blasted that thing to shreds!"
"Thanks," Fuu replied, wiping a sweat off her forehead. "I trained, a lot."
"Sorry I'm late guys," Hikaru said, hyperly, giving the two, towels. "But we have to cancel today."
"Why!" Umi screamed, alarmed. "We need the training, and besides, I have nothing else to do!"
"Umi, first of all, you have all those suitors to meet," Fuu said, grinning, "Second, yes, we need the training, and whatever it is, I'm sure that it can wait till after we're done."
"But your dad wants us," Hikaru replied, "Now!"
"Let's just finish, he can wait," Fuu said rather unusually quickly.
"But, what's more important than finding Fuu a husband, we must go now!" Umi said, exaggeratingly, making poor Fuu blush. Her father has been obsessed with finding Fuu a husband, ever since he made Kuu queen. He vowed that he'd see his youngest daughter marry first than die, and he's been on a rampage ever since. In Houji, if you were ever to ask, "Who's the most wanted girl in the kingdom?" the answer, of course, is Fuu. Anyone who lived there has seen Fuu dressed up for some important day, and the blind can tell, that Fuu had the perfect body, although she is cold to all.
"Don't remind me," Fuu muttered, sending Umi a death glare. Although Umi and Hikaru aren't as wanted as Fuu, Umi is wanted also for her form, but also because she is also an easier target. She can easily be wooed over a few compliments, but when her temper strikes out, you will be lucky if you survived. Hikaru is wanted for her title, for she is the only daughter of an old man, and therefore, is the heir to about a hundred estates.
"No, this time your grandfather is there," Hikaru said.
"My grandfather?"
"Yeah, so it's not marriage, and besides, why are you so scared of them?" Hikaru asked, innocently, causing Fuu and Umi to fall over, anime style.
"Let's just go," Umi said, rolling her eyes.
"I thought your sister sent the messenger long ago," Zagato, Emeraude's husband said, "What took you three so long?"
"Your Highness, please excuse our tardiness, we were busy at the moment, and when we heard, we came right away," Clef answered, formally.
"Zagato! Quit acting like it's an interrogation!" Emeraude said, playfully, and sitting next to Zagato. 'An angel sitting next to the grim reaper.' The three thought.
"As you all know, our kingdom is in peace with our neighboring kingdoms," Fuu's father informed them, now that everyone was seated.
"Although we are allies, we have been sending scouts out, like all others, incase things change," Fuu's grandfather added. "Like they often do."
"But somehow, some of our scouts are mysteriously dying in the area between our kingdom, and Cephiro," Kuu said, with a worried like on her face. "And although we aren't exactly close to them, Mother. . ." everyone then looked at Fuu, seeing her stricken face.
"What about Mother?" Fuu asked darkly.
"Mother is very close to the prince and princess there and I'd think that she wouldn't want anything to happen to them," Kuu said, turning away.
"I remember now, she would go there and take us to play with them, right?" Fuu said, forcing a smile.
"Yes," Kuu answered, relieved.
"So, let me get this straight," Umi said, "there is some unknown force that could be attacking Cephiro, and you want us to help protect them?"
"Yes," Zagato said. "Cephiro is possibly in danger because many are dying, though little in our area."
"So you want us to boost the guards, and learn as much as we can on this new threat?"
"Yes, "Emeraude confirmed them, "but also, because we want you three to be on your guard, for the target could be one of you three, and especially you Ferio."
"All right, so we'll just layoff on the outings, and train more guards, and tighten the castle's security," Ferio said, in a half serious tone.
"And I'll create a magical barrier, and find out just who or what this new threat is," Clef said thoughtfully.
"Thank you," Emeraude sighed. 'Please, don't let anything happen to this kingdom.' She silently prayed.
"Yes, you will be protecting them, but not as princesses, noble, lieutenant, or general, but as servants." Kuu informed.
"What I'd like to know is, why servents, what's the big secret?" Hikaru asked, curious.
"Well, we're not sure whether there are any real danger, and causing panic would only worsen our neutral relation with Cephiro."
"Does this mean that we get to go in unsupervised for as along as this mission will take?" an excited Hikaru asked.
"Yes, but we will be checking in and out to make sure whether there really are dangers are not, and as much as how your grandfather and I hate it, it is the best and only way that seems to come to my mind at the moment," Fuu's father replied, grumpily.
Just thinking of total and absolute freedom from suitors and their family's pestering of marriage brought Fuu and Umi smiles and laughter, and Hikaru, dancing and jumping up and down.
"You two will be leaving tomorrow morning, and girls. . . please be careful. . . And enjoy yourselves," Tomoyo's father said, begrudgingly, but unluckily for him, the three are too busy dreaming to hear him.
'Total. . .
'and absolute. . .'
'freedom!' the three thought.
So what do you think? Gettin' interestin or wat? REVIEW!! Please!
Forgot to tell you, but mainly Fuu and Ferio, and some of Umi and Clef, and Hikaru and Lantis.
I would like some reviews please! Oh, and this might be a lot longer than the first.
