However…its ok…cause most of the main characters did appear in chapter 1, both good and bad people (Houjun, Ayruu, Kishuku, Kaen, the wolfish boy, the young boy that appeared at the end of the last chapter) characters would be introduced slowly, and the Senshi name may not be used until later on…so hopefully you guys know who those characters I mentioned above were, if not tell me and I'll tell you

Chapter 2

Food, in uncountable varieties lay before them. Drinks ranging from sake to plan water were filled in the goblets.

"Thanking for attending this feast…" Hiroshi said before taking his seat at the end of the table. The kids each took their seats, following the emperor's gesture.

The group of eight began to eat. Some of them stared at the magnificent food before them, not believing that this was actually happening. Hiroshi took a sip of sake out of his goblet. Smiling, he looked from one member to the next. The person directly next to him, was a women with mahogany hair. Her braid grew past her shoulders. Her bangs were tucked behind her ears. Sitting at the rectangular table to his left was Houjun. Sitting next to his right was the young boy who had greeted them at the door. Next to Houjun, going down the row was Ayruu, and Kaem. Next to the young boy opposite Ayruu, was Kishuku, followed by the wolfish boy.

"Well, I think its time that we introduced ourselves to each other." Hiroshi began, trying to began a friendly conversation between the kids. They all looked up at him. "I'll begin…" Hiroshi took another sip of sake. "My name is Hiroshi Seishuku. I am 23. I am currently the second emperor of Konan. My father Tai-tso, (correct me, if I'm wrong. In the very beginning, Hotohori had mentioned that Taiitsukun handed the Suzaku scroll down to the founder of his country, and I think that was his name…but oh well…this is fanfiction, so its ok to be wrong right?) was the founder of the Konan empire." There was a moment's pause, when there were some nods. "Excuses me, Hiroshi-sama, but is it true that you are heirless?" Aryuu asked. The women sitting next to the emperor's face dimmed. Hiroshi too looked a bit uncomfortable. "Yes…." He murdered softly, before taking a hold of the women's hand, underneath the table.

"My name is Mari Seishuku. I'm Hiroshi-sama's wife." There was a pause. "I'm also his cousin, four or five times removed" (Yeah, I know that people usually had more then one wife. Note, I also know it sounds weird for inner family marriage, but it does exist somewhere….I'll try to make it simple) The kids took a look at her. Almost all had been wondering who she was. The distinctive looks between the two caused them to look more like siblings. "I'm 18." "Really? You look older then you are…" Kishuku commented.

"My name is Houjun Ri." Houjun picked up, shortening the silence. "I'm 12 no da…" he said smiling. "I'm also a monk no da…When I was young my family died no da…." There was a moments of silence. "Before I've met Hiroshi-sama, I've wandered from empire to empire. Even after I met him, I continue to do so no da….even though I'll always have a home here no da…" Ayruu looked at the blue haired monk, noting that he had kept his wound bandaged tightly. "Would you say Houjun-kun that Hiroshi-sama favors you…that he'll treat you like his own son…the son that he doesn't yet have….?" Houjun frowned at that, taking a glance at Hiroshi, who took had a pair of squinted eyes. "I don't know no da….yes…I guess its possible no da, but I wouldn't say that….why do you ask?" "Just curious"

"My name is Doukun Ou…" Doukun began. "I'm 5, and a boy genius…" he continued. "not much to say, but that I'm the emperor's unofficial advisor." Everyone looked at the youngest with skeptical eyes. "I even took place as emperor during Hiroshi-sama's absence from his palace, that is when he went to negotiate with Kuto's emperor…" "NANI???!!!!" The people at the table yelled. "A 5 year old ruling and entire empire?!!" Kishuku exclaimed. Ayruu didn't say anything, but did took the time to look closely at the young boy.

"Name's Ayruu Gi. I'm also 12…The last 'free' member of the Hin tribe. Probably the remaining member of its tribe…." Ayruu said curtly. "Kishuku Sou, currently 9. Konan citizen, family currently held prisoners in Konan." Kishuku finished. "Just curious no da…that head band you wear…." "Oh…that? It's nothing…just part of the outfit." Houjun didn't take think it was the truth, but he didn't say anything more.

After a while Kaem continued "Kaem…." She said simply. "age 7." Now the group turned to the last member, who hadn't spoken a word. The wolfish boy tried to speak, but none coherent words were formed. "Ashitari…" Hiroshi spoke, "how about Ashitari for a name….?" The wolfish boy only nodded, saying that he understood. "Then Ashitari it is…." Ashitari nodded. "How old are you….?" Ashitari tried to speak, but no words were formed. "I'll say, he looks quite young…." Ayruu spoke up. "Around 7….7 human years….." Hiroshi nodded. "Yes, I'll agree with that."

"Well, now that we know a bit about each other, hopefully we'll be able to live under the same roof…." "Hai…." Came the reply. "After you guys are done, I'll have some servants take you to your rooms…" "Hai…"


That night

"Houjun….are you sure you're leaving tonight….so soon…?" Hiroshi asked. "Yes….I'm sure no da….There's not much time left no da….they only had a week no da…." "hmm…." "Don't worry no da….I'll take care of myself…" "It's not that Houjun…its just why do you have to leave so soon…..we could send some other people to go…can't you Hiroshi-sama…?" Mari asked.

The three of them had been within the emperor's chambers, discussing matters over. Hiroshi remained silent. "Yes, I could do that…but there's not much time left…I don't think even my fastest men, could make it there is less then two days…and the week would be up in three days…." "Hai….that is why I have to go there now….." Houjun continued. "otherwise it'll be too late…" "Houjun….think about it….you'll be out numbered….how many men are you going to rescue anyways…." "All of them no da…" "which is impossible…" Mari continued. "not only would you be outnumbered, but you have no advantage in fighting for them alone…." "Mari-sama…" "why do you even care Houjun….I oppose you going…"

"Mari-sama" Houjun softly repeated, walking up to her before taking her hands into his own. "I know very well how you see me….I know very well that in both your hearts, I'm like a son…." Mari nodded. "however…..this is what I do, this is what makes me happy…to help, and rescue people….no da….please understand that…." Houjun glanced at Hiroshi. "Please let me go….I promise I'll be back….I promise I'll be alright no da…." Hiroshi sighed. "Very well you can go….." "Thank you no da…" "Houjun…." Mari said, as she watched him take out his kesa. "Yes no da…." "Take care of yourself…." "Anno of course no da…. Don't worry…." He said, before disappearing.

"Mari…don't worry….he'll be alright…." Hiroshi said, pulling her close to him. "I know….its just that….ever since we've met him…I've been very fond of him…..He's grown to become that son that we need….why does he always have to leave….?" Hiroshi placed a hand over her lips. "Sh…hush…soon…soon, soon we will have our own son….." There was a pause, before he gently pushed her onto the bed. "When the times right…very soon…."


Four days later

"Man, where is he…." Kishuku asked. "Hiroshi-sama…said Houjun left, when the hell is he going to get back?" Aryuu, Kaem and Ashitari remained silent.

"Anno….which of you is Kishuku Sou?" A guard approached the group of children. "I am…" the teal haired boy said, a bit annoyed. "Heika-sama wishes your presence in his room…." "Hmm…why…." "I do not know…." He looked towards his friends, who shrugged. "Please…now…." The guard muttered. Kishuku nodded, before following the man away.

"You may leave…." Hiroshi said towards the accompany guard. "Hai…" Kishuku felt the tense atmosphere as he entered the room. Taking a look around the room, he noticed that Houjun was back, his eyes shut tightly.

"Kishuku…." Hiroshi said softly. "Yeah….?" He asked hesitantly. "I'm sorry….he muttered. "about your family….." Kishuku's eyes widened, before letting his eyes fall on the monk. Not knowing what to do, what to say, he strode over to the monk and picked him up by his collar. "You promised!! You promised!! Now their dead!! You let them die!!" "Kishuku!!" Hiroshi said sharply. "He tired, Houjun tried! Let him go!" "He shouldn't have come back! He let my family die!!"

"Oniisan…" Kishuku let go of the monk as he realized the voice. "Yuiren…" he mumbled. "Yuiren!" "Oniisan….let go of him please…he saved my life….please don't kill him….Houjun-kun….he saved me…please…." Kishuku looked to the monk's side, at where the voice was coming from. Sure enough, his 4-year-old sister was there.

"Yuiren…" he cried out, as he picked up his sister. "You're alive!! You're alive!!" he kept muttering, wondering why he hadn't noticed his sister earlier. "I'm sorry no da…" Houjun spoke for the first time. I rally am no da…but this is the best I could do…" Kishuku turned to Houjun. "Anno…its ok…thank you…thank you….." "No…you have the right to be angry…the right to be mad…."

"Houjun Ri!!" The four looked up as they saw Mari coming forth. In an instant, he was wrapped in her arms. "Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you're back!! Oh my God, are you save…are you hurt" she asked, much like a mother to her son. "Why didn't you tell me you returned…." "I just returned no da….I was going to tell you no da…..after I dealt with Kishuku and his sister…." Mari smiled. "So…you've become prince charming….eh…" Houjun only smiled.

Outside, at a fair distance away, a pair of cold blue eyes watched. Four days earlier, he had watched Houjun leave, and now he watched him return.

You Houjun Ri! I will not lose to you. You will not be the one who would become that little son that Hiroshi and Mari wanted. I will not permit it. I shall be the one…I shall be the one who shall become their son, and through that, future emperor…


Done!! Alright, a shorter chapter. Review!!!
