War of Ages

Chapter 5

"Just wait until I tell your father of the little 'walk' you had! Honestly! No sword, no illusion, no anything! I thought we raised you to always be on your guard, Serena!" My mother yelled at me.

"I was fine, mother! You need to learn to trust me more! I mean, I'm 17! I should be allowed to do things on my own!" I protested.

"Not when you belong to the royal house of a land at war! You are not to leave this palace without a guard from now on! Do I make myself clear?" My mother told me.

"Yes, mother." I mumbled. I didn't want to argue with her; when she's made a decision, she won't change her mind.

"Now then, get some sleep; you have a long day ahead of you tomorrow." My mother said as she left.

Damnit. Now how am I going to get back to Sesshoumaru? Sometimes I wish I was never born! ERGH!

I started pacing my room, trying to figure out how I could go see Sesshoumaru without getting caught. As I turned around to start pacing the other way again, I came face to face with my younger sister, Amaya.

"Amaya! What are you doing in my room?" I asked her furiously, wondering how she got in with the doors locked.

"I just wanted to see what you were up to." She said uncharacteristically quiet. Something was wrong with her, I could tell by the redness of her eyes, she's been crying.

"Amaya, what's wrong?" I asked her as we sat down on my bed.

"He…left. He just got up and left." She said, still in somewhat of a daze.

"Who left?"

"Suoh did. He just flew off and…left. I don't think he's coming back." She said as tears started streaming down her cheeks.

"Oh, Amaya. I'm so sorry. Why did he leave? Did he say anything to you?" I asked as I put my arm around her in a hug.

"No. He told me to meet him in the field outside the palace and he told me goodbye and left. He didn't even say why. I'm worried for him! What if he's going to go try and kill himself like before? Serena, what should I do? I don't want him to get hurt!" She broke down and her silent tears turned into sobbing. The only thing I could now is comfort her and help her find him.

"Don't worry, Amaya. We're gonna go find him. He'll be alright, I promise. Now let's get going before he has time to go too far away." I said as I stood up, suddenly remembering that I wasn't supposed to leave with out a guard. Oh well, mother will understand, hopefully….

"Alright." She said as she wiped her tears away and gave a small smile, even though we both knew it was fake.

"C'mon, let's go." I said as I led her to the window and looked both ways to make sure we were clear from any guards before taking off. "We'll find him, I promise." I assured her as we took off from the balcony into the night air to find Suoh.

WOOHOO! I finally finished this chapter! It's been like, forever since I updated and I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry, I've been loaded with hw and I've had to deal with a buttload of crap, and let's not forget the damn writer's block, but I updated and that's what matters!
