Chapter 2 – Unexpected Encounter
Eyes still heavy, Yuya had awoken from her deep unconscious sleep. Eyes examining her surroundings, she sighed and thought out aloud, "Where am I?"
"You're at our campsite, girly."
Surprised, Yuya turned her head to where the voice came from. She saw a young man with blond hair. Around my age, I see. The young man advanced to where she sat and gave her a cup of water. Yuya looked at it indifferently. "What for?"
"He asked me to give you some, he said you might be thirsty." The young man sat near her and rummaged the backpack next to her.
Yuya looked at the liquid and slowly drank it. Very bitter. Yuya grimaced; she spat it out and looked at the man menacingly. "Is this really water!"
"Eh? Never had natural water before?" he seemed surprised while looking at her.
"N-Natural? You don't mean…" Yuya became pale. Seriously not that…
"You're not thinking about that are you? You're weird, never had natural water that came from rocks is way too low! Haven't you had some once?" the man laughed.
"Laughing is quite rude, sir. And may you address your name first before saying those despicable unmannered words?" Yuya said politely but very stern with every word pronunciation. The man looked quite surprised.
He cleared his throat and flashed a cocky grin. "Akira's my name, or should I say it like this, my name is Akira of the Shiseiten."
"My name is Yuya, if you'd want to know my family name, tell me yours," Yuya said sternly.
Akira sighed. "Got no family name, missy…"
"I told you my name, call me by it. And in addition, I'll tell you my family name then, Shiina."
"Miss Shiina Yuya then, I see?" Akira asked. Yuya nodded. Akira thought for a while…
"Are you, alone? But I think there's some other person with you, right?" Yuya broke the silence. Akira seemingly surprised turned to Yuya with a sharp glare. Yuya was shocked at the output.
"H-How'd you know?" he stuttered a bit. Yuya cocked a smile.
"Who is he? Your brother?"
"Again, how'd you know he's a guy!" Akira leapt to his feet.
"You said it, I'm just repeating it. And is that him?" Yuya pointed someone behind him.
Akira turned to see the one behind him. He sighed. "Hotaru."
Hotaru approached the campsite and glanced at Yuya. Eyes not leaving her, he asked, "Is that you, Akari?" Akira anime- collapsed.
"NO, SHE IS NOT THAT AKARI! NOT THAT SLY MANGIRLGUY AKARI!" Akira shouted and shook his head in disagreement.
"Who is Akari?" Yuya questioned again. Being a princess, she never really had the chance to meet up with people easily; it was like that she was locked in a cage…
Akira looked at her in disbelief, eyes widening as if she had not asked enough questions already. "Yuya-san, please stop asking questions, do you not know who the Shiseiten are!"
"No."
"Really?" Hotaru bumped into the conversation.
"No, I've been stuck at home for years, I don't know anything…" Yuya said with a hint of unhappiness. It was true; she's never really been out after her mom had died…
"Pity you, hee!" a girly voice came from behind Yuya. She turned to face the figure and fell.
"Yeowch… that hurt badly…" Yuya let out her moan of pain. She lifted her gaze to see a fancy woman with the most freakishly PINK hair! "Who are you?"
The woman offered her hand and Yuya took it cautiously. "Akari."
"Miss Akari, thank you for your help…" Yuya flashed a warm smile. Akari blushed.
"S'cuse me, but Akari is not a woma…" a punch flew to Hotaru's face. His body fluttering away to reach a tree 10 kilometers away from their campsite (just kidding! He just hit a tree not far from their campsite).
Akari happily whistled a tune and turned to Akira with a death glare, "Good riddance…" Akira went to chibi size and ran away and disappeared behind a bush.
"Wow, that must really hurt, why'd you punch him, Akari-san?" Yuya questioned again.
"I was just trying to kill the mosquito that was on his face, simply put, dear Yuya…" Akari laughed, 'was trying to kill him too…'
"Why didn't you just slap him?" again, irritating questioning…
Akari laid her index finger to Yuya's lips. "Hush my dear Yuya, questions just irritate me a little…"
"Okay… why?" Yuya innocently added the freaking 'WHY?'.
Akari's eyebrows twitched a bit and a smirk formed. "Yuya… please stop, I can't bear it. And allow me to call my companion, ask him questions, wait for a minute…" Akari left Yuya and disappeared behind the same freakin' bush. "BONTENMARU!" after that sudden shriek, it was quiet again…
Yuya was left alone and she was fidgeting around, very much wanting to talk and ask questions again. And who is Bontenmaru?
"Oy." A hand was on Yuya's left shoulder and she was jerked back and onto the ground with force.
Very much surprised, Yuya let out a very loud scream, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
The unknown figure let go of Yuya and plugged his left ear with his finger, "Damn girl, you're so loud!"
"Yuya-san, are you alright?" Akira ran to Yuya's side and calmed her. He turned to the figure, "Kyo."
Kyo? Yuya looked back and saw a very gorgeous man standing before her. Voice stuck, Yuya can only stare at the annoyed offender or the offended…
"Kyo-san, you shouldn't have scared her, she's out of words now, you see?" Akira tsk'd and lifted Yuya back to her feet. "You should rest, Yuya-san, I'll get more water for you… oh, and Kyo-san, try to be gentler with words?" and with that last sentence, he left.
Silence broke out between them. None wants to speak, both feels offended. Yuya stared at her hands, which were folding her kimono and at the same time, unfolding it again. Kyo sat at the nearest tree trunk next to Yuya and kept unsheathing and sheathing his Muramasa. After a while…
Yuya leapt to her feet and pointed her index finger to Kyo. "You fiendish man! Please say sorry to what you have done before, or else!"
Kyo leapt to his feet and slapped away Yuya's hand. "Watch where you're pointing at, girl. I am not that gentle with my actions either…" he said with a menacing tone.
Yuya yelped and raised her hand again, only to be grabbed roughly at her wrist. "U-unhand me, you unmannered warrior. If these matter would reach my father's ears, you shall not see the next sunrise AGAIN!"
Kyo only smirked. "Who the hell cares? I can kill both you AND your father with ease. And I don't even have to raise my blade at all…" he laughed mockingly after that.
Yuya's eyes widened in terror and her eyes begin to well up. She bit her lip and sniffed. Kyo stopped laughing and was really surprised when he saw her tears streaming down her cheeks. He quickly released her wrist and looked around worriedly. 'Where is Akari when I need him?'
Yuya's sob became louder and all Kyo could do was watch in horror and she began to cry like a little girl. Her cries became louder and wetter as she was crying all her tears out. "I want my papa! I want my mama! I don't wanna be with you!"
"Oy, shut up little girl, stop bawling and calm yourself down! Are you still a baby!" his words just made her cry louder. He sighed and grasped her neck. The startled Yuya stopped crying during the swift moment only to continue with revenge. Her cry is now even more babyish and annoying than ever.
Kyo shook his head and grumbled. 'This is my last resort… here goes nothing…' he held Yuya's head with his hands and forced a kiss on her moist lips. The kiss lasted for a few moments before Yuya turned crimson and pushed him away.
"Perverted-unmannered-lowly-first kiss stealer-man!" Yuya wiped her mouth and spat out. "I'd rather be kissed by a pig than by you!"
"Hmph, who'd want to kiss a baby like you? Pu-lease…" Kyo smirked and left her.
"H-hey! Akira-san said…" Yuya stopped Kyo by grabbing a fist of his long blood crimson hair. He stopped dead in his tracks and glared at Yuya.
"Do you really want me to act harsher than I already am?" Kyo glared menacingly at her. His red ruby eyes flaring furiously…
Yuya stared at him and blinked. "Your eyes…" and she placed her index finger to his lips, "That mouth…" and she slowly closed her eyes and fell, but Kyo caught her on time.
"H-hey!" and Yuya was in his embrace for a few minutes before he called out for his comrades. "Shiseiten!"
Akari and Bon appeared from behind the bush and Hotaru came limping with Akira as his support. "What is it Kyo?" they all said together.
"Akari, check this woman, Akira, where's the water? Hotaru, dress your wound and Bontenmaru, what happened to you!" Kyo said all at once. Kyo handed Yuya to Akari and gave all the guys a good sounding.
Akari checked Yuya's body. 'no external injury, no internal bleeding, no mental problem…', "Kyo, she's suffering from a fainting disease I guess, she faints every time easily when her mind is experiencing a jolt of memory flashback, not dangerous but can be very annoying… let her rest and everything will be fine."
Kyo nodded and ordered Bon to carry Yuya's body. He did what he was ordered to do and glared at Akari who was giggling. Akira was crying while dressing Hotaru's wound, he was sad that Kyo was mad at him. Hotaru patted his companion's back and sang him a child's rhyme.
