Chapter 6








She wrapped her arms around herself while she waited in the cold cave for the runner to come. So far, they had succeeded in getting an equal amount of men in without anyone recognizing them or getting suspicious. It was nice to at least have a few more men just incase.


Some to open the doors while the others were fighting. She would have to take care of her husband, even if it meant giving herself up. She knew what she had to do but, what about Dimitri? What could she do to get rid of him? Hmm? She could get another girl in that didn't mind what a man wanted.


That's all she could as for. Have Dimitri go out and protrol the area, find a girl that wanted him, and then boom. He'd be out of the way for a long time. Then at night, have all the men in and set up around the walls. The other could come and go around, have everything set-up at a certain time where everyone was fighting.


Perfect but, how was it going to happen? What was she gong to exactly do to make it happen? Something. It'd have to be something smart. But, what? She stopped her mind from wondering as the footsteps come closer to her. She watched as the light came closer.


The light illuminated on his face, making him look more attractive. He was the same as usual. Tall. Green eyes peering down at her. The Gunblade by his side. She walked up to him as he placed the torch in a holder.


"Seifer. What are you doing here?" she asked in a hush-hush voice. He smiled.


"I wanted to make sure you were fine. I haven't heard any word from you since you left. I was beginning to get worried." She smiled gently and picked up the uniforms.


"I have been thinking about something. I was hoping that after these few men came in, we could get Dimitri distracted by a woman that he would chase while the rest of your men move in around the fort. I will already have Tanaka distracted while the fight breaks out. The gates will be open for you to come in freely. Does that sound alright?"


"Perfectly fine." She handed them to him only to have his hand touch hers which made her drop them. He pulled her into his arms, gazing into her eyes.


"I lied. I've been thinking about you too much. I just can't get you off my mind," he whispered. He took her lips passionately in his, feeling her responde back but pulling him closer to her.


"So have I," she whispered. She was pushed against the wall, feeling his lips moved down her neck slowly while her breathing quickened a little.


"I want you right now---"


"You cannot. He would know if we..." He went back to her lips.


"You haven't?"


"No. I was too young."


"I couldn't imagine that bastard touching you like that."


"Neither could I." She was wanting him too badly. She inched her way to the ground with him following. She grabbed the uniforms and shoved them into his hands. Separating them.


"Makoto---"


"This will all be over soon and I promise. I will be yours." He was about to kiss her, only to have her hand raise up.


"You are too close."


"Come back with me, just for tonight."


"He would know." His lips captured her again. Taking her to the breaking point she didn't want to go. Her hand hit the torch, causing it to fall into the water. Slowly, the articles of clothing started to fall...

Just before dawn was when they both awoke. They quickly dressed themselves and kissed each other good-bye. He left into the dark. She walked out for a ways, and then started climbing a tree. She sat on and branch and noticed the presence that was trying to stay hidden near her.


"Good-morning Dimitri." He emerged.


"A Princess shouldn't stay out all night. Tanaka is starting to suspect something about you."


"I want to let you know. I am not an ordinary Princess. For a fact, I am the heir to the throne that will rule this entire planet along with the moons around it. I also carry something that no one else has."


"Like what?"


"You will see in good time my man."


"You don't fool me with anything. I know your little secrets and lies. You are bringing in men from other places but, Tanaka is too stupid to notice. If something bad happens, I'm blaming you."


"Before you go pointing fingers, you should first point the finger at yourself." She turned to leave, only to have her wrist roughly grabbed. His eyes glared down at her.


"I know what you did and who you were with last night. You won't be able to fool Tanaka. That scent is known too well in these parts." She jerked her arm away and quickly left him, making her way back to the camp.


What if he is right? What would happen if he did know? I do not want to find this out myself...


The gates were opened for her where she walked in only to have Tanaka grab her by the shoulders and look down at her.


"Where were you and why didn't you come back?"


"I am sorry. I fell asleep while watching the stars. I will make sure that it will not happen again." He pulled her closely to him and started leading her.


"I think it would be best if you stayed inside the walls for now. I can feel a war coming very soon." She nodded.


"I will not leave then."

He winced in pain as another blow hit his skin. More followed until the person finally stopped, breathing hard from beating the man. He grabbed his face.


"Your daughter is smart King. I can tell she didn't get that from your side. Now tell me what you are going to do to stop her from making her plans go out, hmm?"


"I'll let her kill you all," he managed to rasp out.


"You fool! I could have given you freedom but, you decide for more pain! What type of person are you? Now tell me where the Thunder Crystal is! I need it and I need it now!"


"I don't know..." The man punched him again.


"Where is it! Damn it, tell me or else I'll be forced to put on better torture!"


"You want to know?"


"Don't play games with me old man."


"She has it."


"Who?"


"It's inside of her. She controls it and it's powers."


"Who's she? Who are you talking about?"


"It's her destiny and that will never be taken away from her. She is the Goddess of Jupiter, Senshi of Thunder, Keeper of the Thunder Crystal. Her powers are beyond your imagination. I warn you, do not piss her off---"


"Tell me who this woman is already!" Silence filled the room. Some tapping started against the cold stones. Suddenly, King Jupiter yelped in pain as he was thrown into the wall once more.


"Who is she?!" She swallowed long and hard.


"My daughter." He heard the footsteps leave as the door opened and quickly shut with a slam.


What have I done? I revealed who she is. Now, they are going to kill her. Most likely. Who knows. It's all my fault. Jupiter will surely fall since there is not King or Queen to rule along with no future heir...
