Disclaimer: I don't own rurouni kenshin! But I'm still one of his biggest fans!!!!!!
Author notes: hey all! Here is a new story that is way different than my other stories. I based in the medieval ere but it is a fantasy so there will be magic and stuff. I also love really strong girls who don't fall for all the guy so if you like a lot of mushy romance this isn't it. It will mostly be action and adventure with a little bit of romance between Kao & Ken. Here are the main characters of the story, I might add more people but this is the characters for right now;
Kaoru Sagara: age 19.Traveling master swordswomen who does stuff like bodyguarding or defending innocent people against other fighters. She is NOT an assassin, but if she has to kill to protect a person she will. She travels with her brother Sano. Was taught her swords skills by her father.
Sanosuke Sagara: age 20. Older brother of Kaoru. Doesn't fight with a sword, like Kao, he likes to use his fists. They have been traveling alone after their parents died from Tuberculosis.
King Shishio: age 40. Evil king of Than. His greediness for power causes him to conquer other Kingdoms to expand his own. The only Powerful kingdom besides his own is the Kingdom of Rona. Once he has control of that he will control all of Konane. (I thought of a different place so Konane is the whole country.)
Princess Misao: Age 18. Princess of Nairi. She was given to King Shishio as a token of peace between Than and Nairi.
King Kamiya: age 54. King of Rona. Lost his wife and daughter, the only heir to the throne. He is sick with Tuberculosis, and is trying to defend his Kingdom from the Evil King Shishio, but will die soon and lose the Kingdom, if he does not find his lost daughter.
Royal Secrets
Chapter 1: The Beginning…
Long ago King Kamiya was the strongest ruler in Konane. His Kingdom is Rona, and under his rule the city flourished, everyone was peaceful. The King, his Queen, and their daughter lived in happiness, but one day, just after the princess's fifth birthday, the peaceful King of Than died. The new ruler of Than was the old King's ruthless son. His greediness of power caused him to declare war against the other rulers of Konane to expand his own Kingdom.
Soon most of Konane was under the control of King Shishio. The only thing left in his way before total domination was the Kingdom of Rona. The good King knew that his wife and daughter were in danger so he sent them to hide far away from Rona. The Queen and her daughter left alone at night in the hopes of not being discovered by the enemy, however, the ruthless King found out and sent a pair of assassins to kill them. Knowing that death was coming, the Queen left her daughter with a family of farmers, and proceeded on alone.
The poor farmer, his wife and son took in the young girl and adopted her as their daughter knowing that the Queen was never to return.
(Fourteen years later)
"Kaoru!" a tall boy with brown rooster-like hair called as he searched through the dark forest. Reaching a clearing he found who he was looking for. A petite girl with sapphire eyes and raven locks was busy practicing her Kendo. Sensing her brother's ki behind her she turned and flashed him a bright smile. "Hey Sano!"
"Hey," he said before sitting himself down on the nearest rock.
Kaoru looked at him curiously, "So what is our next job?"
"Well…," he pulled a fish bone out of his pocket and placed it in his mouth before continuing. "Our next job is in Than. We have been asked to be the bodyguards for the princess of Nairi. Her name is Misao and she is betrothed to King Shishio."
Kaoru frowned, she hated going to large towns especially Than. "So when would we be leaving and how long would we stay?"
He shrugged his shoulders before taking the bone out of his mouth and placing it back into his pocket. "Lady Misao is waiting back at the inn for our reply. So are you up for it?"
Kaoru lightly sighed before answering, "I guess so, it's not like there are any other jobs for fighters right now."
Back at the inn a girl with a long braid of ebony hair and emerald eyes awaited their arrival. As the two fighters reached her table she smiled kindly to Kaoru. "So you are the famous Rose of Martial Arts. I can see why people call you that. You're so pretty!"
Sano rolled his eyes. I got to start hanging out with more guys.
Kaoru was please with the girl, "Thank you Lady Misao for your kindness, you area very pretty yourself. I see now that this job will be enjoyable."
Misao clapped her hands together in excitement. "So you have accepted my proposal, I thank you so much." She bowed her head slightly, before getting up form her chair. Lord Shishio has already summoned me to his castle so we must leave quickly, it will be a day and nights ride to Than."
Sano and Kaoru followed the princess outside. There the horses waited to be free from the stable. Misao jumped on to her beautiful white mare, as Sano saddled up on his chestnut brown mare named "Kato." Kaoru walked up to her horse, Kari, she had raven colored hair just like Koaru's except that Kari had chocolate eyes.
Kaoru hopped on to Kari's back and scratched behind her ears reassuring the horse that it was her master.
Riding over to where Misao and Sano were waiting. The three started their journey to Lord Shishio's Kingdom.
