"Holy-I'm late again!"

The red haired boy yelled as he rushed to the school building. He was tall with long arms and legs, and had a nice figure for a young man his age. His eyes were the exact color of his spiked up hair and both shimmered and glowed as the boy ran across the empty campus.

"If only mom hadn't kept me up all night with those stories of hers."

He recalled last night in his head, "Daisuke, come here darling!"

The boy sighed and entered the living room where his mother was enjoying a cup of tea, "Yes mom?"

"Oh don't just stand there Dai-Chan, come sit here next to me." She patted the seat with her free palm.

"Is it important? Because I should really be going to sleep; I have to get to school early tomorrow."

His mother gave him the puppy eyed pount, which really made her look immature. Daisuke's mother was a young mom and didn't look her age at all, once while she was out shopping with Daisuke the shopkeepers thought they were brother and sister or sometimes worse: girlfriend and boyfriend.

She had short hair to her bony shoulders the color of light brown, and wore pink lipstick upon her thin lips. Emiko was a simple woman, she never wore too much make-up or in some cases none at all. She had this natural beauty that always brought out the pureness of her eyes. They always sparkled, whether it was night or day, like lit fireflies as they danced in the summer breeze.

"Please, let's spend a little quality time together. Your always at school or out with some friends or in your room, I feel like theres a gap forming in between us."

Daisuke chuckled, "Mom, you always say the weirdest things." He took a seat next to his mother and grabbed a cookie from the table, "So, what's up?"

"I've been reading these-"

The boy in the light blue shirt stood up and began walking away from his mother, "Again with the love books? You know those things infest your brain mom."

Emiko grabbed his arm and yanked him back down, "But this one might come as an interest to you hun!"

Daisuke placed his elbow on his knee and his hand under his chin, "I'm listening."

She smiled and began, "It's about a daring knight who one day while riding upon his horse through an enchanted forest came upon a faerie as she was bathing. They instantly fell in love and proclaimed it to one another the following night, and they promised to be married right away. The fairy was extremly happy and rushed back to Roselve; the world she came from, to announce her engagement, but her parents the king and queen did not allow such felony to bestow on their daughter who was already betrothed to a high priest in their country. Devastated the princess flew back to the human world and explained everything to her beloved knight, they cried in one eachother's arms until messangers from Roselve tore them apart and forced the princess back to her wedding with the priest, a man she has never met before. The princess had no choice but to marry the priest, but the love she had for her one true lover never died. After the wedding ceremony she snuck out and returned to the human realm where her lover waited, that night she committed the worst sin there could ever be done to her people, she made love with a mere human."

Daisuke looked at his mother wide-eyed, "Uh huh, what happens next?"

Emiko giggled, "Do you really want to know? I thought this stuff kills your brain."

Her son blushed and smirked, "It's not all that bad once you get past the 'once upon a time' part. Oh, and please tell me they didn't describe them making lo-lo-lov-"

His mother laughed, "Now that's a secret." She winked making Daisuke blush even harder, "Anyways, back to the story! Well, as the lovers held eachother tightly in bed her husband in Roselve could see everything and the feelings of jealouy, hatred, and anger influenced him. He called forth a spell and immediatly went to the human world where his wife was being caressed by a human, the couple was shocked as he appeared before them. The princess began to cry and beg her husband to understand, but words could not reach him now. Without any regard to his wife the priest took out his sword and challenged the knight to a duel, they fought bitterly and would not stop until one of them was dead. In the end the human lost as he took a direct hit from the front of his chest to the other side which was his back, the knight laid on the floor gasping for breathe. The princess ran toward him and grabbed his hand sobbing, she felt his cold fleash upon her cheek and cried tears of bitter sorrow. The priest grinned and laughed as he dissappeared to Roselve, leaving the couple behind. As the knight took his last few breathes he apologized to his lover and told her he loved her and closed his eyes for the very last time. The princess shook her head in disbelief, she couldn't accept the fact that her lover had died. So, with only one thing on her mind to do she grabbed the knight's bloody sword and pierced it through her chest. And do you know what was the last thing she did before she died?"

Daisuke shook his head which made his mother laugh, "She smiled."

"Smiled? Shouldn't she be crying some more and looking sad?" Daisuke asked with confusion on his face.

"She smiled, because now they can forever live together in peace." Emiko sighed and smiled, "Wasn't that sweet Daisuke?"

He shook his head, "It was really nice mom, but why did you tell me it?"

Knowing his mother she always had a reason for every little thing she did for him, "Oh, nothing sweetie."

"Hey Daisuke! Shouldn't you be in bed by now? It's past midnight already." His father asked as he headed toward the living room.

"Ah! I forgot all about the time! And I have to get to school early tomorrow too! Night mom," He pecked his mother on the cheek, "Night dad." And rushed upstairs.

Daisuke's dad chuckled, "That Daisuke, always so forgetful and ditzy." He took the seat next to his wife.

"Hmm, and I wonder where he got it from." Emiko teased as she hugged her husband.

"Gosh, that mom." Daisuke said as he continued rushing through the hallways, "But I have to admit it was a pretty nice stor-"

"Ouch!" The voice of a girl is heard.

Daisuke rubbed the back of his throbbing head, "I'm sorry I wasn't looking-" He opened his eyes, "Har-Harada-San?"
