Louise couldn't believe it. She, third daughter of the Valliére family...
Was locked in a dungeon cell in the castle. 'Haaah...what did I do to get inside a cell?' Louise thought as she sat on the wet cobblestone wall of her cell, laying her back on it as she sat on the rocky floor.
"Lets just say...you almost killed a man Kit." Kyuubi told her as he was grooming his fur. Louise widened her eyes when Kyuubi told her how she was here. She...almost killed a man?
"How..." Louise asked Kyuubi.
"With my Chakra Kit. I've cut my Chakra for now since it had burned some of your skin...but do not worry, all is well."
"Yes, its so fine that I'm waiting for my punishment..." Louise sarcastically said as she sighed. If she had tried to kill a man, perhaps Count Mott as he was the last male she met with, there was only two punishments.
Execution or stripped of nobility and sent to a prison for life.
Louise shivered at the thought.
"Kit?"
"Yes Kyuubi?"
"Do you want to escape? I may be able to help as I've looked through your memories of this place."
"Eh? But if I escape..." Louise trailed off as she knew the consequences. She would become a wanted noble, a disgrace to the Valliéres.
"You do realize that even if you stay here, you will either be executed or thrown in prison. Kit this is a better choice. Besides, even if you convince your 'Princess' that you are Louise. They will believe it is 'against the Church of Brimir'..." Kyuubi told her as he paced around his cage, waiting for Louise's answer.
"I...I guess you are right..." Louise thought as that plan was a Lose-Lose situation. "W-what did you have in mind...?"
"Hehe...well..."
The Princess of Tristain felt troubled as she sat in her throne. Having shoulder length purple hair, a peach colored dress that reached her feet, a purple cape that was tied on her collarbone, and a gold staff and silver tiara that signified her status as princess, Henrietta of Tristain looked at Kirche and Siesta, Count Mott next to them.
"Princess please, what I'm telling you is true." Count Mott said as he showed him a burned mark on his neck. "That prisoner that you have is a demon! You must execute it! It injured and wounded half my guards."
"After you ordered them to attack her and me." Siesta mumbled but was unheard by Count Mott.
"I'm sorry but those decisions are up to me." Henrietta said as she looked at all three of them. "By tomorrow her punishment will be decide-"
"PRINCESS!" Henrietta stared at the two castle guards that slammed open her door, both having a worried face.
"What is the problem?" Henrietta asked as everyone stared at the guards. The guards panted as they catched their breath.
"The prisoner...in cell three...has escaped!"
"What!?" Henrietta exclaimed. "How!?"
"Its unknown! Its like...she disappeared!" The first guard told her. "Please princess, you must accompany us to your bedroom. It may be an assassination attempt!" The guards walked towards Henrietta and walked her carefully to her bedroom, ignoring her complaints. Kirche and Siesta however, who were bowing, looked at each other as Tabitha was in the corner of the room. L-Louise escaped!?
'Kyuubi... YOU NEVER TOLD ME THERE WOULD BE THIS MANY GUARDS!' Louise angrily shouted in her mind as she was hiding in one of the bedrooms in the large castle, almost a hundred guards searching for her. Peeking through the door, seeing guards running by, Louise closed the fancy white door and sighed tiredly. She currently was on the wall, Chakra on her feet as to stick on the wall above the door.
"Calm down Kit. They'll run outside and believe you've gone and ran off. Just wait patiently and don't make yourself noticable." Kyuubi told her, much to her disappointment.
'Alright...but sometimes I wish you never existed...' Louise thought as she leaned her head on her hand. She looked around the room and felt a similar pull to it, like she knew this place. Where had she seen this place before...
"Alright princess, please stay in here while we search for that prisoner." Louise's eyes widened in shock as she paled and began to shiver.
"B-but-"
"Do not worry princess, we'll make sure your well being and our self's are fine. We depart." And the door that was open, was closed as Henrietta entered the room. Louise looked at Henrietta and paled even more. She tried to make herself as small as possible and hide herself but it was no use as she was tall and no longer short.
"It seems I'm alone again." Henrietta mumbled as she sat in her bed and set her staff on the corner of the bed. 'I wonder how Louise...is...' Henrietta was thinking until she trailed off and saw Louise...on the wall like a spider...looking at her.
"Ummm...hello..." Louise said weakly as that was the only thing on her mind. But as calm as she way, Henrietta reached inside her cabinet desk and took out a wand, pointing it at Louise.
"You are the prisoner that escaped." Henrietta stated as Louise jumped off the wall silently, her hands in the air as she was in no position to fight. Her wand had been taken by the guards.
"Y-yes..." Louise answered as she stood in place staring at Henrietta. 'Pleasedontkillme...KYUUBI HELP!'
"Kit I can tell you trust her." Kyuubi said. "I may be able to help...but there is only one way."
'And that is...' Louise asked, and listening closely to Kyuubi, Louise turned beet red. 'Whaaa!? You...You want me to do THAT!?'
"Its that or be killed by your friend."
'F-Fine...' Louise embarrassingly said as she lowered her hands, Henrietta looking strangely at Louise as Henrietta still had no idea that Louise was Louise.
"Excuse m-" Henrietta was asking when Louise ran full speed towards Henrietta, catching her by surprise. Louise, muttering a sorry to Henrietta, tackled the princess towards the ground, Henrietta falling in her back. "Ouch..." Henrietta mumbled as she opened her closed eyes and stared at blue and violet like eyes that stared into her blue eyes. "Wha-"
"Forgive me!" Louise muttered as she closed the distance between them. Meanwhile, a laughing Kyuubi was rolling in his cage.
'HAHAHAH! SHE AHAHAHA! SHE FELL FOR IT!' Kyuubi thought as he laughed in his mind, staring at the scene, reminding him of the time Naruto had accidentally kissed Sasuke Uchiha. Haaah...good times...
But this was no time to think of the past! Kyuubi, rolling back on his stomach, inserted his Chakra inside Henrietta, who was paralyzed in shock, and brought her inside Louise's mindscape.
"W-where am I..." Henrietta mumbled as she rubbed her head, staring around the cave she was in. Sitting in the water, Henrietta took a moment to find a way to leave this place when she saw light coming from an exit. "There." Henrietta said to herself as she walked towards the light, sneaking and being as quiet as possible for any danger that she may encounter. 'This is strange...I was in the bedroom with the prisoner and now I'm in a cave? Could this be magic or necromancy-' Henrietta stopped all thinking when she was met with a gigantic cage, seeing through it as she was met with red slitted eyes.
"Hello there your majesty..." Kyuubi said as he showed himself in the light, showing his great powerful nine tails, as well as his height. Henrietta, who was shaking in fear, continued to stare at the Kyuubi with a serious look. "You are not scared? Hehe...this is not the first time that a mere mortal has done this. Now then...shall I call your friend?"
"Friend...?" Henrietta questioned as she still held her wand, clutching it tightly. What was this giant fox talking abou-
"Kyuubi!" Henrietta stared at Louise, still not knowing her yet, as she got out of the cave. "Why couldn't you have brought me here when I was sent to some unknown part of my mind!?"
"I wanted to have a private talk with the Princess, Louise." Kyuubi said to Louise as he sat on the floor.
"Eh? Louise?" Henrietta curiously said as she stared at the blonde.
"Hmm...I forget you still haven't told her. Give me a minute..."
"Huh? What do you mea-" Louise was asking when a puff of smoke surrounded her. "Cough...W-what in the name of Brimir do you think your doing, you oversized fleabag!?"
"L-Louise!? What are you doing here!?" Henrietta gasped out as she saw the old Louise stabding where the blonde prisoner was.
"Eh?" Louise looked at herself and widened her eyes. "Eh!? I'm back to normal!?" Louise shouted confusingly as she saw she was small again, her pink hair back.
"Not exactly as I only changed you in your mind. Now princess...shall we explain?"
"Ah...now I understand..." Henrietta said as she got the concept of Louise's change.
"I see you took it easily...but it seems our time is cut short." Kyuubi said as he felt a sudden shift of Louise's mindscape. "Louise will explain more. Now, get out."
"W-wait! KYUUBI!" Louise shouted as she and Henrietta were forcefully pulled out of Louise's mind, going back to reality. Opening her eyes, Louise looked around and saw she was back in Henrietta's room, being pulled back by some guards roughly. She noticed that they had muskets pointed at her side.
"Princess are you alright?" One of the guards asked as they tightened their grip on Louise, making her wince in pain.
"I-I'm fine." Henrietta answered weakly as she rubbed her head. "Guards, release the prisoner."
"Princess we cannot! She had just committed an act of-"
"I said release her. She will be dealt with me." Henrietta said with more authority. The guards who held Louise, looked at each other for a second, and released her. "And please leave, I'd like some privacy with her."
"Yes...your majesty." The guards said as they bowed and left, leaving Louise and Henrietta alone in the room.
"Thank you, Princess." Louise thanked Henrietta as she rubbed her shoulder. "It seems you've saved me...again..."
"No need to thank me Louise, we are friends after all." Henrietta joyfully said as she thought of something. "Louise I hate for asking, but how did you escape? I could have ssworn that you were placed on one of the most secured cells we have."
"Umm...Kyuubi if you remembered, showed me a...Jutsu he calls it. I used the Henge to escape."
"Henge?"
"If I may, I could show you."
"Please do."
"OK." Louise took a deep breath and put her hands together. 'Dog, Boar, Ram!' Louise quickly made the three required hand signs for the Jutsu, and shouted, "Henge no Jutsu!" And smoke covered her body, Henrietta not able to see her for a second. The smoke clearing up, Henrietta gasped seeing who was in Louise's space.
It was her, making seem as their were two Henrietta's in the room.
"Why hello there." 'Henrietta' said as she smiled.
"Hello, Henrietta." Henrietta playfully said as she found this quite amusing.
"How do you do, Henrietta?"
"Good, what about you Henrietta?" Both girls, looking at each other for a moment laughed as it was both funny and confusing seeing as both were Henrietta.
"Haha...I'm sorry...Haha..." Louise laughed as she dispelled the Jutsu and continued laughing.
"N-No need to apologize," Henrietta quickly said as she coughed in her laugh, holding her giggles, "I guess I did need a bit of enthusiasm in me. But...how did you do that?"
"I really don't know either...Kyuubi says something like a genuine copy of someone, like a clone...or something..."
"So that's how you escaped..." Henrietta muttered as she sat back in her head. "But you do know Louise that you had just did a break out...the punishment being life in prison."
"I...did know your highness..."
"You would receive the punishment immediately but! I shall put down any charges on one condition." Henrietta proposed as she looked at Louise, who smiled brightly seeing as she wasn't going to be sent to prison. Bowing, Louise looked at Henrietta with determination.
"I shall accept it your highness! Even if the condition was to jump off a cliff!" Louise exclaimed. Henrietta laughed as she saw Louise's enthusiasm.
"Louise...how are you in guard duty?"
"Your highness as much as I wish I could do this...I have no skill of protecting you." Louise said as she was inside a carriage sitting on the seat that was inside. In the opposite side of the seat she sat on was Henrietta, holding her staff as her other guard Agnes stared suspiciously at Louise.
"Do not worry Louise. All you have to do is just stay by my side. Nothing more." Henrietta said as she moved her staff onto her lap. "Besides I have Agnes. A member of the Musketeers."
"That is true but...why are there so many guards? Are we going to be attacked?" Louise asked as she looked out the window of the carriage, staring at the castle guards on their horses, the sunlight reflecting off of their armor chest plate.
"Its just a precaution. Do not worry at all. What is the worst that can happen?"
"Your highness please, this is not something to joke about." Agnes said as she had a stern face on her tomboyish face, her light brown hair swaying a bit as she made herself comfortable. "Anything is possible with the threat of the war in Albion..."
"True...but let us enjoy this day as we'll be able to see some wonderful familiars. Speaking of familiars...Louise were you able to summon one?"
"E-Eh?" Louise nervously said as she began to get anxious. "U-Um...I wouldn't say that... Its just that-" The carriage came to a sudden halt, signaling that they've arrived to the Academy gates.
"Welcoming, your princess Henrietta of Tristain!" An announcer outside shouted to the students who replied with a bow.
"Alright Princess...that's your cue." Agnes muttered as she opened the carriage door, allowing Henrietta to get out and show herself to everyone, who all awed at the beauty of their princess. "Come on Louise, as a guard you must follow the Princess to ensure her safety. Now get off the carriage." Agnes said as Louise quickly got off the carriage and followed Henrietta, who was talking to a bowed Osmond and Colbert. Osmond, who was bowed and looking at the ground, took a peek up as he stared at Henrietta and then Louise, who wore the castle guards chestplate.
"Louise may you escort me to the exhibition?" Henrietta asked a stiff Louise, who was next to her the whole time, standing straight up Louise looked at Henrietta and nodded.
"Your Highness...your enjoying this aren't you?" Louise asked as a few students gave her some confused looks.
"Yes I am Louise!" Henrietta giggled as she clapped her hands. Sighing tiredly but covering it up, Louise walked towards the exhibition stage, where many students already sat to see the show. A throne was already set for Henrietta, a few guards already standing by it. "Thank you Louise. You may go rest now." Henrietta said as she sat herself down on the throne to watch the familiars, Louise smiling as she got a break. Finding an empty seat in the crowd, Louise sat on one of the chairs that was as close to Henrietta as possible. Looking ahead as the sun hit all of them as they were in the courtyard area, Louise saw that Tabitha was coming up with her dragon, Sylphid if Louise remembered.
Watching the blue haired girl do trick in mid air with her dragon awed both Henrietta, students, as well as Louise as both master and familiar had that much trust for each other. But seeing all the familiars in the stage made Louise sadden a bit as she had no familiar to show off to Henrietta. Taking a deep breath, Louise removed herself from the seat she sat on and walked around the school to take her mind off of things.
"Are you alright Kit?" Kyuubi asked as he felt the emotions of Louise enter her mindscape.
'Not really...I had forgotten that I don't have a familiar.'
"So what? Its because you don't have a familiar that you met me! The mighty Kyuubi!"
'That's true...but I really wished I had a familiar-' Louise stopped all thinking when she felt a few crumbled pieces of rock hit her from above. Stopping what she was doing, Louise felt a gigantic shadow cover her as she found out what caused it. A enormous Earth Golem stood in front of her, a person covered with a cloak on its shoulder.
"Eh?" Louise said in shock as she stared at the enormous Golem. What was going on!?
"Oh. It seems that I've gotten the attention of a guard." The cloaked person said as they stared at Louise. "Golem, capture the guard." The cloaked person said as he pointed his finger at Louise. Obliging with its summoner's orders, the Golem opened its right hand to reach out to Louise, who in a panic ran towards the tower that the Golem was attacking and began to run on it.
'What!? She could climb walls!? What sort of magic is this?' The man thought as he looked at Louise, who was quickly running out of wall to run on.
'Kyuubi! What do I do!?' Louise exclaimed in her mind as she was near the top of the tower.
"Kit! Just keep it away from you, I'm going to send you an image of some hand signs! And may Kami have mercy on you if you mess up..." Kyuubi said as he sent pictured to Louise's mind of some hand signs. Louise, already at the top of the tower, paled as she stopped at the top and saw the exhibition, no one seeing the danger.
'Can you at least tell me what this...Ummm...hand sign is for-'
"Just do the handsigns you small bug!"
Getting scared at the Kyuubi's shout, Louise turned around and put her hands together. Making a cross with two fingers, Louise shouted out the Jutsu name without knowing.
"Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" And in a puff of multiple and probably a thousand puffs, about a thousand or more Louise's appeared. Some hanging on the towers, others crouching, and most of them on the walls with a determined look. Louise, looking around to see other hers gasped at how many there were. "What kind of...Jutsu is this Kyuubi?" Even the man was astonished.
"You'll find out soon! Now Kit...beat his ass or I'll beat yours!"
"Right!" Louise agreed as she readied herself, as did the rest of the clones. The only thing that messed up Louise's stance, was the one clone that shouted, "Charge!" Making all the clones jump off the huge tower and land on the Golem, only a few popping. Each and every clone began to climb the golem as all of them ran up the body. The Golem, who had his hand out, swatted some clones off its body, the clones being sent in the air and exploding in a puff of smoke. One clone however, was sent over the tower and thrown towards the sky above the familiar exhibition.
"Such amazing familiars." Henrietta mumbled as she clapped her hands together. "How that dragon and girl trust each other that much..."
"IN THE NAME OF BRIMIR WHAT IS HAPPENING!?" Someone in the crowd shouted as people and students pointed at something in the air. Looking in the air, Henrietta's eyes widened seeing a blonde girl flying in the air unconscious. And that blonde girl was Louise. Or it was supposed to as 'Louise' exploded in a puff of smoke. 'What's going on...?' Henrietta thought as she stood up and removed herself off the throne.
"Princess!" Agnes shouted as she jogged towards Henrietta. "Its an emergency! We must send you somewhere safe!"
"Yes I know, but what of Louise!?"
"The better word is, 'Louise's'."
"Eh? What do you mean-" Henrietta was asking when she felt the ground shake as the Golem walked towards where they were. Turning around, ignoring the fleeing and screaming students, Henrietta felt her mouth drop at the scene in front of her. The Golem was covered with many, MANY Louise's that were trying to drop the Golem on the ground. Most of the were on its leg as they were trying to tip it over. One however, out of every other Louise's, was one that was running towards the cloaked person. The man that Henrietta instantly knew as Fouquet.
'Brimir, this damn Golem won't fall!' Louise said as she ran towards Fouquet on the Golems arm.
"All you have to do is knock him out! This weak summon is connected to him, knocking him out will destroy this Golem." Kyuubi explained as he felt the Willpower from Fouquet.
"I wish I never met you..." Louise mumbled as the Kyuubi chuckled. Taking a deep breath, Louise was reaching the shoulder of the Golem, when suddenly a earth wall stood in front of her. Of course this wouldn't be a problem as she could have just climbed it, but when it suddenly encased you inside a globe, then things became more complicated. "Kyuubi..."
"Hmm...Kit this is a weak dome...try using the Jutsu again. It might break if you have many clones in here." Kyuubi said as he felt the Magic in the dome. Nodding, Louise put her hands in a cross and using the same Jutsu, about thirty Louise's poofed to existence, crowding the globe until it began to break down. It wasn't until a few punches, shoves, and more clones that the dome broke, freeing Louise as the clones that were with her exploded into smoke.
"Now...where's Fouquet?..." Louise said as she noticed something was missing... Something BIG was missing..."EH!? Where's the Golem!?" Louise shouted as she noticed that she was standing on the courtyard, Louise's eyes not seeing anything but clones proofing out of existence. "He escaped..."
(Somewhere At The Outskirts Of The Academy)
"That damn girl..." Fouquet said as he was walking towards the shack, in his hands he held an important artifact that appeared to be a cylinder case. Wiping his cloak from any dirt, Fouquet opened the wooden door of his shack and set the case inside a chest.
"Its about time you've returned..." A deep voice said in the shadows as it scared Fouquet. Looking at the shadows where the voice came from, Fouqet closed the chest and huffed.
"I had a delay with the girl you were looking for." Fouquet annoyingly said as he sat in a empty chair. "She's got the same description that you said. Whiskers, blonde hair...everything all the way."
"Good..." The deep voice said as he was pleased with what Fouquet said. Tossing a bag filled with gold to Fouquet, who caught it neatly, he watched as Fouquet counted the money.
'Soon...my plans will be complete...with the Kyuubi in my hands...' The man thought evilly as his eyes glowed red, three tomoes swirling around his iris.
