**************************

Hidden in a rather convenient large pile of hay, blue eyes watched in delight as the small fleet of guards darted by. She had no idea where the road was leading them, but it left her free to room the streets of Eiyo. The fair haired princess wished them well on their little trip. "Hope they enjoy the rabbit chase!" she giggled, crawling out of the hay.

"Well well," A voice behind her drawled, "What do we have here boys..." Usagi whirled around to come face to face with a band of at least five young men. Usagi wrinkled her nose at them. From the looks of it, they lack good hygiene that was common within the royal court. Deciding they weren't worth her time Usagi moved to leave, when the leader took ahold of her arm. "Where do you think you're going?"
"Release me." She ordered. Eyes flashing, Usagi jerked her arm out of his grasp when her order wasn't obey. Immediately arms wrapped around her from behind. A hand roughly lifted her chin up.

"The old man will pay us well for this fine piece of meat."

"I order you to release me at once!!!" Usagi exclaimed angrily, giving them one last chance before she fought back. The idiots laughed.

"The girl is probably a vir-" A swift hard kick in the groin, stopped the idiot's babbling, and lowered him to his knees. Usagi jabbed her elbow into the ribs of the goon holding her, as she stomped her foot as hard as she could onto his foot. The second the hold around her loosen, Usagi darted off in the opposite direction. The poor man on his knees roared at his gang who were just staring after the girl. "AFTER HER!!!"

Usagi all but dived into the crowded streets. For once, she was thankful that she was shorter then most people. As politely as she could, Usagi pushed her way through the crowd. Glancing behind her, Usagi spotted the thugs bulldozing their way through the crowd. Speeding up, the blonde princess immediately slammed into someone. "Gomen! Go-"
"Usagi-hime!!!" When did they return?!

Usagi quickly reeled back from the guard reaching out to grab her, and ducked into a alley. Behind her, both the thugs and guards followed her, neither of the group noticing the other, until one of the thugs acted.

"By orders of Imperial guard-"

Usagi looked back to see who, obvious leader of the guards was yelling at. Immediately a quick searing pain entered her system. Her hand instinctively went to her shoulder, as she stumbled out of the alley. She was shocked to see the red substance on her fingers, when she pulled her hand away. She was used to bruises and small scratches, she got them all the time...

"Miss? Miss? Are y-"

But blood was another matter.

*************************

No jobs, no luck.

Tamahome sighed as he made his way through the crowd. Although that wasn't what was bothering him, he still had to time to make money. All afternoon that girl from earlier plagued his mind with her jewel-like eyes and melodic voice. He wonder what she looked like?
"Baka." He muttered to himself, as he shake his head to clear his thoughts. He sounded like the rest of the idiots back in his village. When the local boys got tired of teasing him about his ogre character on his forehead, they went to staring like sick cows at the local beauty. Looking up ahead, Tamahome almost missed the small figure appearing from an alley. The hood of her cloak had fallen off, revealing golden hair, pulled up into twin buns and an angel's face. Instantly, without seeing her eyes, he knew who she was.

The blue eyed girl from this morning.

For a mere moment, the blue haired martial artist thought he was seeing things. Surely this fair haired creature was some kind of woodland spirit. He watched her lower her hand, it was cover in a red substance. From the sudden pale pallor of her face, it wasn't paint of any sort. Concerned, he hurriedly jogged towards her. "Miss? Miss? Are y-"

Suddenly she slumped forward, out cold. Tamahome, caught her easily, before she hit the ground. Moving off to the side, out of harm's way. Eyeing the dagger embedded into her shoulder, he knew what to do. Gently as he could, he pulled the dagger out, watching as her face silently contort in pain, the gash was long and deep. Quickly as he could, Tamahome fumbled to remove his sash from around his waist, to bandage her bleeding wound.

"How much for the girl?" A sudden voice pulled Tamahome from his ministrations. He stared at the short portly man before him, for a second before his words registered in his head.

"Excuse me?! This girl isn't for sell," Tamahome practically growled, as he gathered the unconscious blonde in his arms.

"She's a foreigner. Everyone saw how she was running from the Imperial guard, earlier." The man pestered. "The girl would be grateful of food and shelter. I will pay you a handsome finder's fee."

While he would do almost anything for money, Tamahome refused to stoop so low. Trafficking helpless girls. Not in this lifetime. With his bangs shielding his disgust, Tamahome faced the man. "If I ever see you again near her, I'll make sure you regret it."

The man, step back bewildered by the threatening promise. The man could have sworn that he saw a strange red glowing symbol on the younger man's forehead. With one last glare Tamahome walked away with the girl in his arms.

*************************

Tamahome didn't know where to go, with the girl. Had he been, by himself, Tamahome was sure that he would have found somewhere to sleep under the stars. With a handful of money, there weren't many choices, and the blinking stars often meant a peaceful sleep. It didn't help that the girl had the beginnings of a fever. He wasn't that surprised, she had become sick, that dagger had looked old and rusty. If she was lucky, her fever would only last a day or two. But for now, she needed a warm place and someone to tend to her...

"HELP!!!"

Up ahead a small caravan was being attack. Black robed bandits, brandished their weapons with little skill but with great strength. Tamahome wanted to help, but the girl...He didn't want to leave her alone, not in her state. A small child caught his eye, he was roughly the size of Yuiren, and judging from his screams greatly frighten. Gently, but quickly he laid the blonde against a tree, praying to the gods that she would be safe, and went to help.

One of bandits on a black horse, was ready to strike the little boy. Swiftly Tamahome leapt, up into the air, and knock off the bandit. Holding tightly on to the reigns, on the horse, balancing himself before reaching down to grab the boy.

The boy was a fighter. Swinging his little fists, he tried to protect himself, as he yelled. "I won't let you hurt my family!!! I'll hurt you!!!"
"Calm down," Tamahome replied, stopping the horse near the tree. "I'm the good guy. How many guys attacked you?"

"Four."

"Okay, stay here, with her." Tamahome ordered, quietly before going back into the fight.

*************************

Usagi awoke to the sounds of a fight. Groaning, she looked around at her surrounding vaguely noting that it was already dark. "What is going on?"

"Your husband is saving my family from the bandits."

"Nani?!" Usagi exclaimed, jerking herself to her feet. Suddenly she realized, that wasn't the smartest thing to do, as she found herself retching into the shrubbery. After emptying the contents of her stomach, Usagi slumped wearily to the ground. "Who are you, little boy?"

The boy pouted at the little boy comment. He was about to answer when two wails interrupted him.

"CHIKAI!!!"

"KAA-SAN, THE BANDITS GOT CHIKAI-CHAN!!!"

"POOR CHIKAI-CHANNN!!!"

Usagi blinked, as the little boy blushed. Were all commoners so loud? She thought that it was only Korin and herself, who reacted in such a manner. Well, that was according to her brother's council and Luna. How fascinating! Luna was wrong...

A male's voice spoke, calming Chikai's family down. All Usagi heard was, "...Your son is right here," when a blue haired young man, stepped out from the shadows. "I see you're awake. How do you feel?"

"You're not my husband." Usagi blurted out. She blushed when she realized what came out of her mouth. At his curious look, Usagi explained, "The little boy thought you were my husband." Though he was certainly handsome enough to be...a lot better then annoying son of the magistrate, who didn't know the purpose of a hairbrush and dared to try to court her.

"Oh." Tamahome replied, amused. "How's your shoulder?"

"Sore," Usagi mumbled as his hand checked her forehead. She didn't say anything, but his hand was cold to the touch. Quietly she pulled at the strings of her cloak, she was hot. What was wrong with her? She never felt like this before.

"Don't worry," Tamahome replied, catching the confused look on her flushed face, "I'll take care of you."

"Young man." Tamahome glanced back at the lady who had called out to him. She was smiling gratefully at him as she held her son with her daughters flanking her sides. "Please allow me to offer you lodging for the night for you and your wife. It is the least we can do for saving us."

"But I'm n-" Usagi began to protest, when Tamahome cover her mouth, with his hand.

"We'd be honored." Tamahome answered, ignoring her glare. The lady smiled, before leading her children back to their wagon. "You're ill. You need a warm place to stay. " he explained hurriedly.

"I am not! I won't stay with you! I don't even know your name!" Usagi snapped venomously, that lost any effect, when she yawned.

Tamahome smirked, thinking that she was cute, when she was riled up. "Sou Kishuku, but everyone calls me Tama-" A soft snore interrupted his sentence. She had fallen asleep before his very eyes, still standing up. "Well thats different," he chuckled, scooping her up into his arms. As he walked towards, the awaiting family, he realized something.

He stilled didn't know her name!
