CHAP 3: FATED MEETING
. ~. ~. ~. 10 years later. ~ .~ .~.
Place: Yatoclan's palace
Time: Present (when the main story started)
Characters:
Kagura Yato: the Princess of Yatoclan.
Umibouzu Yato: the King of Yatoclan.
From afar, people could see the Yatoclan's palace standing imposingly among a huge valley, its super high red roof stood out from the blue sky, and from it, a girl's ear-splitting shriek could be heard:
WHAT? MARRY?
The King of Yatoclan attempted saving his face in front of his inflamed-with-murderous-anger red-haired daughter after telling her about her arranged marriage. "Well, like mother, like daughter, even that violent manner"-He thought.
Look, Kagura, now you get it. Both I and their queen_Mitsuba came to an agreement that you and their prince would get married and nothing will change no matter what.
But Papi, how can I marry a man without even being acquainted with him? At least, just let me meet him.
Sorry, Kagura. But this is…the final decision, and no, you can't meet him, it's their tradition not to let the bride and groom meet before wedding.
TRADITION MY ASS. AS IF I WOULD GIVE A SHIT. NEVER IN MY LIFE WILL I ACCEPT THIS FUCKING MARRIAGE.
Poor floor_ had to put up with the slaps of the princess' legs, it shook like crazy.
After saying that line, she angrily left, kept slapping her legs and grumbled at the marriage while cracking her knuckles. Seeing that sight, all corridor passers-by immediately sneaked away in order not to become the little but insanely strong princess' punching bag, they didn't want to be like that poor floor.
Sat still in his room, Umibouzu calmly sipped his tea, the maids standing outside door worriedly asked their abnormally-calm being king:
Your…Highness, please excuse this humble servant but, won't you do anything with Kagura-hime?
Oh~! Don't mind her, she won't be angry for long-Sipped a little tea, he turned his gaze out the window, contemplated his daughter angrily throwing stones at the lake in the imperial garden. Then he continued- Just like her mother.
All the maids immediately took their leave in silence. They knew that they weren't supposed to bother their king that time_when he was recalling all the memories he had been through with his beloved wife Kaoru.
…
_Sou-chan, come here, I have something need to tell you.
The beautiful brown-haired lady wearing a luxurious funihitoe gently looked at the boy standing in front of her_a handsome boy with the same brown hair and reddish brown eyes as hers, but his eyes reflected a little violence and craftiness, the eyes of a sadist.
_Hum? What you want to tell me?-He asked reservedly.
_Sou-chan, you know that we have always been in deep contradistinction to the Yatoclan, right?
_So what? Ah, you mean we're going to beat the crap out of that fucking clan, don't you? It's way too good!
Mitsuba responded with a sweet smile, as if she had been too familiar with those things, then she continued:
_No, we won't start a fight with them, and neither do they. We both decided that there should be a marriage between 2 countries to promote friendship and avoid an unexpected war.
_A marriage? So, why you told me this? It makes nonsense if…..-His face got pale.
With the sweet smile still curved in her lips, Mitsuba gave her brother a line that would make the Okita family's palace shaken violently right then.
_Look like you got it, Sou-chan. You and their princess will get married and according to our tradition, in arranged marriage the bride groom aren't allowed to meet each other before their wedding . You already know it.
The boy's face got paler, we could even feel some angry dark clouds were coming in great quantity ( troll a bit =w=)
_B…but sis! You know that I can't accept this, what if that girl is a gorilla?
_No, she is very beautiful. Don't worry, Sou-chan, I'm sure you and her will be happy to be together.
_Excuse me, I need to take my leave now – He bowed respectfully then swiftly left.
Till there's only Mitsuba in that room, Hijjikata – the young general entered and asked:
_Hey will that brat be okay?
Mitsuba kept smiling: _ He will. Why not?
*BANG*
*BOING*
The sound of breaking and servants' scream resounded from downstairs:
Okita-sama, please calm down!
But that begging line failed to ease the wrath of Okita Sougo – a hard-core sadist.
Though I didn't think he would be that angry.
Tch! That brat…- Hijikata puffed deeply on his cigarette, then let out a smoke, contemplated the mess downstairs.
Evening fell down; crescent moon poured its pure beam down every branches and corner. Families lit up their houses, prepared their dinner…but there were two didn't want to get their asses sit still liked that.
Tradition? Screw it! Why the hell I have to obey that dumb-ass tradition? Just come to his country, meet him and tell right to his face that even if war break out, Yatoclan become extinct or whatever, I will never marry a retard bastard like him. And then, everything's done.
Beautiful? As if I care. No matter how clever, beautiful and intelligent that girl is or if this family collapsed, I'll come to her country and beat the crap out of her.
At night, when everybody got together with their kin or wandered around some snacks, except those two – they all disguised themselves so as not to be recognized by others. Then set off.
(Please allow me to pass the part describing their journeys).
Okita called a halt in a small village's snack sighed tiredly cuz he knew there's still a long road to reach the Yatoclan's capital. Suddenly, in the snack's noisiness itself, an even noisier voice came above:
_ WHAT? THERE'S STILL MORE 3 VILLAGES AND 7 MOUTAINS TO GET THERE?
An orange-haired girl yelled loudly in a corner while grabbing a drunkard's collar. Her face was getting crimson due to anger. She glared at that bum and gave and gave a threateningly muffed growl: " Don't you dare to fool me around?"
The drunkard begged profusely: - No, it's true, I'm not kidding. I swear. Over 3 villages, ah no, 5 villages and 7 mountains to get there…
He shouldn't have added " ah no" in that line.
Cuz right after saying it, he found himself thrown out of the snack roughly enclosed with a yell: _ STAY THERE FOREVER, USELESS!
Okita witnessed whole that violent scene, and even being sadistic to the core or how much it amused him, he didn't think that girl should do that. Drunk one more glass of wine, he went to the corner and grabbed her shoulder:
Hey, no matter how useless he is, it's wrong for you to do that.
Right that moment
When the reddish brown eyes of a sadist met the cerulean-as-sky eyes of… another sadist
They both knew
They should have never met each other
Pried Okita's hand off her shoulder – Kagura pettishly yelled:
It's none of your business!
If it hadn't been for your unseemly act disturbing me, I wouldn't have moved my ass, midget! - He said with his monotone voice.
It's his fault to mess with me first.
Don't pretext for your crudity. – He deadpanned.
Shut the fuck up!
You're the one to shut up!
Excuse me; you two will get your meals free of charge provided you GET OUT OF HERE!
…..
Their plan to secretly come to meet and curse his/her fiancée/fiancé failed when people of the two families discovered their abnormal absent and sent troops to nab them. No one knew where they had been, who they had met or what they had done but everybody could see that something wrong had happened:
How dare that insolent brat talk to me by that insolent voice? I swear I'll make her regret being born in this life.
That fucking, rotten, retard bastard! Wait for it! Once I get home, I'll give you the worst nightmare in your life for insulting me.
Happiness?
I don't need that flighty thing…
All I truly want now…
Is being free from this pain in ass.
~That's all~
