Chapter 2
When Setsuna and Kira finally got to town, they ended up parting ways due to the fact that Kira was already in one of the local taverns wooing all the ladies.
Setsuna made his way around town, looking at all the new wares since his last visit. On his way to one of his favorites weapons shop, he heard some muffled noises down one of the alleys.
"If you weren't being so tough, we could play alittle nicer!", yelled a scruffy looking man with two other guys who were pinning down what looked to be a young woman.
"Please leave me alone! What did I ever do to you!"
"This is nothing personal little lady! You're just too pretty to let go."
The other guys were clearly enjoying doing what their ringleader told them to do.
Setsuna had seen enough, he ran down the alley and jumped on the guy closest to him.
"Get your filthy hands off her before I decide to really hurt your buddy here!"
"Trying to play hero boy!" yelled the leader obviously very angry for the interruption.
The other man who was previously helping in trying to get the women's clothes off, was currently trying to sneak up behind Setsuna, but Setsuna was smarter then that, he didn't go through all that training throughout his life only to be fooled by a common criminal. As the man jumped up in the air ready to attack, Setsuna kicked him in the groin, only for his own hood to fall off in the process. The young lady watched all of this happen while having butterflies in her stomach for the mysterious man who had come to save her. Something about him seemed so familiar and comfortable.
"Hey! this boy here looks almost identical to the Prince!"
"Nice observation", mumbled Setsuna, as he still had his knife against the first bandits throat.
"Uhhhhhhh...ohhhhh...", said the bandit lying on the ground still clutching his groin in severe pain.
"What's wrong?", asked the leader.
"He has the crest of the palace on his cloak!"
"Oh crap! He really is the prince! We have to get out of here before we get caught, the King would have our heads for this!" yelled their leader as he ran down the alley out of sight, closely followed by the injured bandit.
"Hey boss! Aren't you going to save me?" cried out the one under the mercy of Setsuna's knife.
"Get out of here you filth, before I report this to my father!" cried out Setsuna as he released the man and watched him run out of the alley.
When the danger was finally gone, Setsuna kneeled down to make sure the young lady wasn't hurt at all. At closer inspection, Setsuna thought he had saved an angel. This young lady was indeed the most beautiful lady he had ever seen in his whole life. Setsuna felt his heart leap up into his throat.
"Are you all right milady?"
"Yes, thank you so much your Highness!" cried out the girl who was proceeding to stand up to kneel in respect.
"Oh, please you don't have to bow to me, I'm just relieved you are unhurt."
Setsuna and the lady just stared at eachother for what seemed like an eternity, neither of them wanting to leave eachothers gaze. All of sudden the lady looked around in a panic.
"Oh! I am sorry my highness but I have to leave to deliver something before I get in trouble for being late!" cried out the young lady.
"May I escort you milady?" Setsuna was silently begging for her to say yes, he had only just met her, but he felt like she was meant for him and that he could never leave her side.
"No thank you your highness, but once again I can never thank you enough for saving me from those men.", as she said this, she gave Setsuna the hairpin she was wearing, and ran off.
What Setsuna didn't know was that this young lady longed to stay by his side also. She had never met someone like him before. She hoped she would see him again, but with her status as a maid at the castle, it surely wouldn't work out.
Setsuna started walking around town to find Kira. For all he tried though, he couldn't get that angelic face out of his mind. The longing to see her again was so deep and he felt like he couldn't breathe.
"Hey Setsuna!" yelled a familiar voice.
It was Kira looking a little untidy and smelling like a ladies cologne store.
"Oh, hey Kira." answered Setsuna in a world of his own.
"Hey whats up with you? You look like you're in a different world or something, did something happen when I was gone?" Kira asked suspiciously.
"Yes, something indeed happened to me, I met an angel."
