Black Ninja Star: I'm sure.
Eudial: Okay, onward!
Chapter 5
Charles reached the castle and pounded on the door. "Please, someone answer!!" He shouted. He put down Nathan near the door and started to pound it. After a few minutes of pounding, the door was answered by the butler.
The bulter opened the door saying "Why can't you be on time--" but was cut short by seeing someone else standing in front of the door instead of Nathan. "Where is Nathan?" He inquired.
Charles pointed to the side of the door. "He's over there. He has been stabbed and is bleeding really badly. I was wondering if you could help him."
The bulter wasted no time. "Okay, he could come in. How did you bring him so far?"
Charles answered "My shoulders. He's not light though. I'll grab his arms, you get the legs."
The butler nodded. He went for the legs, while Charles went for the arms. They lifted him up and carried him through the door and into the castle. Nathan was still unconscious. Charles asked the bulter "Do you know a place where we could put him?"
The butler thought for a moment. "The Princess' bedroom. It's not too far away from here. Just up these stairs" He motioned with his head.
Charles nodded "Right." They walked over to the stairs and started to climb it. While they were halfway up the stairs, Nathan was starting to wake up. "What's going on, where am I?"
The butler answered "Castle."
He screamed "My shoulder! It hurts! Stop!"
Charles was frightened. "Calm down Nate-san. We're almost there"
They came up to the top of the stairs. The butler pointed to the door near the mouth of the stairs. "That's the princess' room. You'll have to put Nathan-san on my shoulders. Someone has to open the door, you know."
Charles nodded. He let go of his part and helped Nathan on his feet. He then lifted up Nathan on the back of the butler and they continued to the bedroom. Charles opened the door and there was no one inside. He waved in the butler and they gently put Nathan on the bed.
Nathan opened his eyes. His vision was blurry. "Am I going to be okay?"
Charles' voice sounded so distant. "Yeah. Hang on, buddy."
Everything went black.

*Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to climb but I'm waiting in line*
"Wake up, sleepy" A voice said.
Nathan woke up and saw the princess hovering over her. Her face had a look of concern. He tried to ease himself up on the bed, but the pain came back and he winced in pain.
"Do you need to get up?"
Nathan nodded.
"Let me help you." Setsuna came over to the bed and helped him sit up.
"Thanks. What happened to Charles?"
"He went home."
"Oh."
"My shoulder doesn't hurt anymore."
"The doctor said that it would be better in a few days. He stitched it up while you were out."
There was silence. Nathan was looking around her bedroom and saw a pile of clothes on a chair. "Whose clothes are those?"
"Those are yours, Nathan." Setsuna answered.
Nathan strained closer to see. There was his shirt and pants and his jacket. 'That must mean...' He started to blush deeply. "How come my clothes are over there?" He was surprised that his voice went up a octave.
"We had to clean you up, you looked pretty dirty."
The only thought that was going through Nathan's head was 'I'm in the princess' presence, in my underwear'. He looked down underneath the covers to make sure he was wearing underwear. He hung his head in embarrasment. One of his hands clung onto the cover so he didn't show anymore of his body.
Setsuna put one of her hands on his and smiled. She whispered in his ear "Don't worry. I only saw the upper half of your body--"
'That supposed to make me feel better?' His thoughts interrupted what she was saying so he didn't hear the second half.
"besides, you have a good one." She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
Nathan was dazed by the kiss. He smiled goofily "Thank you." He cleared his throat to make his voice go down "I mean, thank you."
There was a knock at the door. Setsuna went over to the door and opened it. The butler was at the door and spoke briefly "Princess, the King and Queen request your presence downstairs. We have visitors."
"Sorry, I have to go." Setsuna waved to Nathan and closed the door.
Nathan sat up and touched the place where Setsuna kissed him "She kissed me."
***
Setsuna followed the butler downstairs and into the throne room. The King and Queen of Pluto were sitting in their thrones talking to two people. As she walked closer to the throne, she recognized who they were and smiled. 'The two people I really need to talk to.'
The queen introduced them to her "Setsuna, you know the Princess of Neptune and the princess of Uranus. They are here for a visit."
Michiru smiled "We have heard about the wonderful artwork that your painter is doing. We came to take a look didn't we, Haruka?"
Haruka nodded. She leaned in toward Setsuna and whispered "She wanted to see the paintings. I just came along to see how you were doing."
The king clapped his hands twice "James!"
The butler came to the front of the room.
The king spoke to him "Please show the princesses to their rooms"
James picked up their luggage and motioned to Michiru and Haruka to follow him.
After they left, Setsuna went up to her father. "I want to make a request."
The king nodded "You have my attention."
Setsuna took a deep breath "Will you let Nathan-san live in the castle? He was beaten up badly and I'm afraid that the next time he meets the people who did this he would be killed."
The king thought for a while. He scratched his chin and looked at his nails. "You are really concerned about him, aren't you dear?"
Setsuna nodded.
"He could stay. We have lots of room in the castle and I really like him. Just make sure that he stays out of trouble."
Setsuna hugged her father "You won't regret this." She ran out of the room to tell Nathan.
***
Nathan was out of the bed and looked around the bedroom. His shoulder didn't hurt as much and he wanted to put on some clothes. He went over to the chair that had his clothes and picked them up. He brushed off the pants and put them on. He was about to put on his shirt when Setsuna burst in the door. He held up the shirt over his body 'Note to self: charge money for the peep shows' He thought.
Setsuna was smiling "You're going to be safe from those people who beat you up."
Nathan was confused "What do you mean? You're going to stop bursting in on me?"
Setsuna shook her head "No. You're going to live here. I asked the king if you could live here and said yes."
Nathan was surprised "Why did you do that?"
Setsuna looked down at the ground "I was scared that those guys would kill you the next time they see you, Nathan-san. My parents like you, I like you. You don't want to be the 41st painter fired do you?"
Nathan nodded "I guess. Thank you."
*You came to me, on a summer day
Are you just a dream, to fade away?*
Setsuna waved her hand "No problem." She walked out the door. As she walked down the stairs, the only thought she had was 'I hope you like me the way I like you.'
