When the Knight met his Squire
The door shut and Tohru freaked out. She ran over to Yuki to make sure that what Akito said was true, that he was still alive. 'He's just sleeping' she thought over and over again as she sat down and grabbed his wrist to check his pulse. She couldn't tell though.
She then placed her head against his chest, 'Thank Goodness.'She thought as she heard Yuki's heart beating. It was a slow pace, but at least there was some movement at all. Tohru looked the body up and down, it was a mess. Yuki was chained to a wall, black and blues covered his princely face, blood dripping down the corner of his mouth, and one of his legs was bleeding horribly. She started to tend to the wounds, or at least try to, but if anything it just made things worse.
Yuki was wincing in pain and suddenly opened his eyes (which were bugging out of his sockets basically) and in conclusion, Tohru jumped away from Yuki and now could not be seen for she was in the shadows. Yuki looked around for a minute then suddenly started to move his arms around as if trying to break away from the chains. It of course wasn't helping, it was only making Yuki's arms hurt more, and now his wrists were chaffing.
Tohru sat in the dark and watched as Yuki tried to break from the chains…it frightened her. She had never seen Yuki act like such a maniac before. Yuki kept wincing in pain and groaning as he tried to break free from the evil clutches of the chains on the wall. As he continued to try and break free Tohru was trying to think of something to say…to let him know she was here with him and also to try and stop him from his impossible attempt!
"…Sir Yuki…" Tohru said soft and unsurely, awaiting a reaction.
"…Who's here?" Yuki asked in a raspy voice, he had stopped moving around, waiting for Tohru's reply. She came over to Yuki and sat on her knees in front of him, her face shined in the light.
"…Miss…Honda? How?...What are you?" Yuki was surprised to see the girl here, he expected her and Kyo had fled by now or something, but here she was. Tohru looked down trying to think of how to explain the whole situation but she decided not to answer, and instead ask Yuki something.
" …Sir Yuki…don't worry about it but if you don't mind me asking, what happened to you?! "
Yuki looked himself up and down, "I guess I shouldn't have gone after Akito huh?" Yuki then chuckled but Tohru was just confused.
Kyo and Pip peeked behind a bush only a few ways away from the castle entrance, though they were also in the woods too. There was no creature insight…which was very odd. Everyone in the Defense Force was now spread apart around the castle perimeter except Stanley the Horse (Kyo didn't want his baby to get hurt, hehe). Kyo looked up in the sky, still nothing. And, it was definitely way to quiet, especially for a place like this.
"Sir…Where is all the dragons ye were talking about?" Pip said in a whisper, just to be sure.
"I don't know…but" Kyo answered back in a louder whisper.
The two sat there for a minute saying nothing. Pip finally spoke up again, "So then, are we still stickin to the plan Sir?" Kyo nodded,
"Yes. In fact, we should start now Pip, I'm sure everyone else has already."
With that said, the two stood up from there spot and started to walk along the border between the woods and the grassy field that led to the castle. Their eyes were everyone to make sure that nothing popped up and ate them or something stupid like that. As the two were walking to their destination Kyo spoke of what should be happening at the moment, "Now, Frodo and Charlie should be near the front of the castle…"
"The distraction right Sir?" Pip asked.
"Right, well, sorta. They're gonna cause an uproar if something else happens to one of us and we need to get away…"
"So it's basically a distraction…Sir…"
"…"
"…"
"…Shut up! Anyways, Manabe and Momiji should be on opposite sides of where we're supposed to be going. Legolas and Steve are in the back of the castle. Now, when we hear the signal, do you know what to do?"
Kyo looked down at Pip.
"Aye, I know what to do." He replied.
"Good." Kyo said as the two had finally reached their destination, "Now, we wait and hope everyone will be ready soon."
The two stood there, ready for any moment. Suddenly a neigh was heard, well…not a neigh, more of a "Hey! I'm freekin neighing ova here! NEEIGGHH!" It was Charlie the Unicorn's attempt at neighing I suppose…but it worked cause it was heard.
And so, the Defense Force began mission "Save the Babes and Stuff"
Note: The Mission was named by Manabe.
Save the Babes" is self explanatory and "stuff" includes everyone else but the "babes".
Kyo and Pip both ran over to the castle walls. Pip handed him a rope with a hook on it, and then Kyo through it up to the top of the castle and shook the rope making sure the hook was in place at the top of the castle.
Tohru didn't understand what Yuki had meant by his last comment…
"You shouldn't have…gone after Akito?" She asked. Yuki cleared his throat and sat up as well and as proper as he could and started to explain.
"I came here to help people but also…to kill Akito."
Tohru was shocked a little to hear this but didn't say anything and continued to listen to Yuki's Story.
"I came in the castle undiscovered, their dragons could care a less who sneaks in I suppose, they must figure they'll just catch whoever sneaks in later…Anyways, I snuck in. Everyone was in dungeon rooms that I could not get in which was a problem, and the dragons were lurking around every hallway which was another problem. I knew that currently I couldn't save anyone so…I went after Akito."
Yuki continued, "I knew he would most likely be in the nicest looking area of the castle…if there even was such an area in such a disgraceful place as this but anyways, I knew he would be there and I planned to kill him and Kureno if possible. The problem is, once I immediately snuck into the room where I thought Akito would be…I was ambushed, as if they knew I was there all along…"
"I was tackled by guards. The door opened, Akito was laughing like the crazy man he is…I'm guessing the leader of dragons was by his side since the dragon had orange hair and well you know…dragons don't have hair…"
Tohru still said nothing until Yuki asked, "How did you get here Miss Honda?"
She thought of what to say, "Well… I was kidnapped by a dragon…"
"Really?"
"…Yes…and then I was taken to a room and it was terrible! And then Akito brought me here and said he had plans for me but he couldn't do it right then so he brought me here and told me to tell you that you're not going to be the king and Kureno had the job…I'm sorry…" Tohru felt tears fall from her eyes as she finished telling Yuki what Akito had said. Again, Yuki only laughed a little.
"It's okay Miss Honda. I would never want to rule a kingdom as corrupt as Akito's."
Tohru wiped her face and asked, "So what are we going to do now Sir Yuki?"
Silence.
"Well, I would have to say that until I get out of these chains…we won't be able to do anything. But, if you can pull this knife that's sticking out of my back out…that would be lovely…" Yuki said, and then moved a little to try and get the knife out of his back.
"Oh I'm sorry! I didn't even know!"
After Tohru squeamishly pulled out the knife, Yuki said, "Miss Honda, now that you have that…maybe you could try and break these chains?" Tohru looked down at the bloody knife in her hand and then looked back up to Yuki.
"Break the chains? Sir Yuki…I don't think I can do that I mean I –"
"Just try Miss Honda. I believe you can."
Tohru gulped as she watched Yuki move his hands forward so Tohru could cut the chains. She slowly walked closer to the chains, 'I have to …t-t-try for Sir Y-Yuki…Kyo has been trying to teach me to fight for a while now…so…here's my chance!' Tohru thought. Yuki watched the girl fling toward the chains with her hands shaking like crazy and a determined look on her face.
Nothing happened…except for Tohru's hand hurting.
"I…I'll try again Sir Yuki! Like my motto says, NEVER GIVE UP!" And so, the girl started cutting at the chains…making no progress what-so-ever. Yuki sighed as he heard the knife hit against the chains. Yuki gave Tohru credit for trying so hard but ultimately, the girl didn't have the strength to break the chains.
"Miss Honda…it's okay…please don't hurt yourself…"
"No Sir Yuki! I will get it! Believe it! I will –"Tohru's rant was interrupted by the sound of a man saying "Hey! I'm freekin neighing ova here! NEEIGGHH!"
Both Tohru and Yuki looked at each other, both thinking, WTF?
After the weird nose that was heard, stomping from dragons was heard, shouting was also heard…
'What is going on?' Yuki thought as Tohru started "chopping" away at the chains again. 15 minutes later Tohru gave up, well…more of she almost passed out of exhaustion.
"I'm…so…rry….Si…rr….Yuki…" She said between breaths.
"It's okay Miss Honda, don't worry about it."
And that's when the door to their dungeon opened, and in walked…the one…the only… Manabe!!!
And Momiji too…but that's just anti-climatic…
"Hey Yun-Yun! Tohru! Miss me?" Manabe said while doing his infamous cheesy smile.
" HEYY YUKI! TOHRU! WHAT HAPPENED?! YOU TWO ARE HURT! LEMME HELP LEMME HELP!"
Yuki sighed as the ever-so-hyper Momiji ran up to him and immediately sliced the chains in half. Tohru just fell to the floor basically after witnessing it.
Manabe walked up to Tohru while Momiji was helping Yuki up.
"Hey."
"Hello Manabe! Thank goodness you came!" Manabe helped Tohru up and both her and Yuki were handed swords.
"Kyo says you're gonna need these." Manabe said mostly directed towards Yuki.
Tohru looked down at the sword and back up to Manabe, "Kyo?" Manabe smiled, he knew Tohru was worried about the guy, "He's alright…he's in the castle with others…we're taking back our people. Don't worry Tohru, nothings going to happen to him." Manabe finished and gave thumbs up to Tohru.
"Well excuse the interruption but, what does the idiot plan on having us do exactly?" Yuki asked, all little annoyed and in pain all at the same time.
Manabe and Momiji looked at each other and smiled, they then started to tell Tohru and Yuki the plan.
"Brilliant" Yuki said.
Oh dip.
Guess you'll have to find out what happened with Kyo and Pip next chapter!
YAY! MANABE AND MOMIJI SAVED THE DAY!
Don't they always?
Not really…
Well, I'm sorry that my writers block has been eating me away but after I got this out, I can start the major action and get everyone pumped!
R&R please…if everyone hasn't already gotten over this story since its been gone for so long!
And until chapter 24,
