Game: Catch Me If You Can
Begin
Asakura Yoh could take it no longer.
The moon was half-full that the side of the face that faced his room was the dark one, providing shadows. He jumped out of his balcony window, his dark gray round earrings were cold and touching his flushed cheeks as he slid down. His small figure, for an eighteen year old, molded into the darkness as he hunched down and looked up, his coal onyx eyes sparkling with mirth "Hurry it up Admidamaru, we don't have much time" He half whispered yelled over to his pet who was hesitating over the balcony.
Admidamaru, Yoh's shape-shifting pet/friend looks down unsurely to him; he could take the appearance of a grown man with silver hair, the appearance of a younger version like right now of himself with the same silver hair, of a cat, his master, or as he desired. He was his Masters secret, and no one knew about him, that was what made Yoh get away with being at two places at once. Still, it was a rule that Yoh's education was something he was going to have to deal with himself. "Are you sure, Master Yoh, we shouldn't be sneaking out" Yoh pouted.
"I'm tired of playing by their rules, if I don't take my leave now for some break time, I am going to die" Yoh was desperate for some peace of mind and all that crazy labor, the stress of not having his brother around all the time, and besides that, it was going to be fun. He had never been out of Izumo; for the most part at least, he had gone to some places but not as much as his brother had. Therefore, this was surely going to be fun, before his father and mother decided to decree another rule between him and his brother, that is. After all, Anna herself had his eighteenth birthday was going to bring big changes.
Admidamaru, finally resigning to his master wishes, sighed and nodded his head. He knew his Master usually had a much more serene demeanor to him, and right now he looked as if he was about to snap. He closed his eyes and jumped down, landing well on his feet. If his master wanted to go out and have some fun, he was not going to step in his way and stop him from doing as he pleased. Yoh ever rarely chose what to do; he was not allowed many privileges for a prince, so this might be good for him. "Great" Yoh said a smile on his lips. "Now turn into me"
"But Master Yoh"
"Why are you complaining?" Yoh asked with a confused look on his face.
"We can't go out looking as if we are twins" Yoh shrugged.
"Is not like I don't have a twin brother already, though now that you mention it, me and him haven't hanged out in so long…I rarely even see him since he's the main heir" Yoh recalled, his eyes reflecting how much he missed his twin. Admidamaru had been there to witness how hard the separation had fallen on his Master, and to comfort him, he had shown his abilities, still he was amazed at how just a moment ago his master had spoken of his brother. Now he spoke of him as if he had not before. He guessed it had to do with him trying not to dwell on it for too long.
Therefore, he did not say anything, for he owed his Master for so much. He had been a kitten saved by Master Yoh, and the boy had only been five years old at that time. His dear twin brother, Master Hao had not been seen around much since then until he was no longer there.
Yoh had been forced into different training than his twin brother, and a different perspective as ruler from the throne, while his brother traveled around and represented that throne even more. Confusing many "Your eighteenth birthday has passed already though, won't you and your brother be joined again soon" Master Yoh shrugged.
"I'm not sure, nor am I sure how my dear brother has changed," Yoh smiled "I'm just glad you are by my side though, Anna has taken every other friend I had away from me" Yoh started to walk forward. Admidamaru quickly shifted into an identical, perfect, flawless copy of his master, same clothing, same everything, even the changed hair. Yoh had truly lost many close to him, and what hurt most it was as if they were trying to seclude him. The friends that Anna had taken from him where people around the palace that Master Yoh would talk to every now and then. It was all to get him to focus though, since Yoh was so friendly just about, anyone could talk with him.
He also got Admidamaru taken away from him, but now Admidamaru was able to hide, and come back to his Master, he vowed, the day he was taken, that then and there he would always stand at his Master's side, to be by his side, and serve him well. Yoh has, and still is lonely, and Admidamaru can only offer the last support for him not to go into a complete depression "Where are we going Master Yoh"
"Oh, the capital"
"Master Yoh, you are in your royal clothing, they will report you to the guards and send you back" Yoh looked down.
"True" He made a face "But I have nothing more to cover my identity" he shrugged again and got a smile on his face. Oh no, an idea had just crossed his Master. "Let's teleport to the Capital in patch Village, they don't know me there and we could easily find different kind of clothing than from Izumo"
"And how do you plan to travel there Master Yoh" Yoh snapped his fingers and before they knew it, they were being teleported via magic, to a new place. Far from where they were. Unknown to Admidamaru that his Master had planned this to be a three-month long trip, one that will test a promise his brother had made to him before they got separated that Yoh still clung onto.
"Wherever, whenever, I will surely seek you out and find you, Otouto, I love you. So I promise to find you"
Yoh was sure his brother had no recollection of this though, and that was what he feared. Therefore, for now he clung to his last hope and went on. He also did this the day before his name was to be announced to whoever his fiancé was going to be. To put it in a basic way, even if he believed that things would work out, he was scared, so he decided to run away.
He was not ready to give his freedom up.
Morning
The day had risen in nice warm weather and Kyoyama Anna had sent Tamamura Tamao to go wake up Prince Yoh. She had also asked her to tell him that his brother, Prince Hao, as well as his mother Queen Keiko, and father King Mikihisa, where finally returning today. She figured that would tell Yoh, that a new royal bodyguards, their age where coming to serve and protect both him and Hao, and it was all going to be an honoring ceremony.
Tamao just knew her prince would be happy, she walked towards the door and knocked. When there was no answer, she walked inside only to find that the room was empty. The bed was made, as if no one had slept on it the night before, nothing was out of the ordinary, could her Prince, the not so early morning person had gotten up already? She decided to look around before panicking.
With Yoh and Admidamaru
"Where are we Master Yoh?"
It certainly looked nothing like Patch Village, and they had once gone there in an emergency of Yoh's grandmother and grandfather, the royal king and queen from here Yohmei and Kino. Yoh whistled as he looked around "Well, I have no idea; I mean I can teleport us, but it's hard to keep in mind where exactly I want us to land" Admidamaru sighed.
"Oh lighten up" Yoh looked around, his eyes scanning the area. He could be calculative whenever he felt like being, as he looked around, the pupil in his eye expanded and then narrowed considerably. He could see far now and smirked. "There is a small village just up ahead, not exactly Patch Village, but we can ask for directions there," Yoh rose his hand but Admidamaru grabbed his wrist.
"Please don't tell me you are planning to teleport over there!" Admidamaru shook his head.
"Fine, I won't" Yoh made a face, it was still a far distance, it would take them three hours to get there. "We should have brought some supplies."
"Fortunately for you, I packed a bag," Admidamaru said, as he threw back part of his fancy clothing and showed a small bag. Yoh blinked and grinned.
"Let's hope you brought oranges, let's go"
"I did, you are so optimistic Master, I fear it will get us killed one of these days" He looked up at the blazing sun, judging from wherever they were it was already the afternoon, and it could be anytime back home. Teleporting was not always quick, especially with Master Yoh who sometimes did not have a sense of direction. He just followed his Master from there, just knowing that somehow this was all going to work out.
Back With The Others
Tamao was panicking now.
She ran around the castle, her hair in a tangle and her clothing disheveled. She could just up to scream in fear and tear her hair out of the roots. Anna and everyone else was going to blame her, or worse, her prince could have been kidnapped.
Anna on the other hand was already dressed in her black short dress, a red scarf around her bared shoulders, and her blond hair in a messy bun. She was already greeting the royal family back home "Welcome back" she said.
The king and Queen smiled at her "Why hello there Anna, how have things been?" Anna was about to answer, but she was rudely interrupted.
"Where is my Yoh?" Hao demanded as he looked around and did not spot his dear twin brother.
"Dude, this place is awesome; Love the new changes, how long has it been since we've been here?" A light blue haired boy said, but all ignored his questions. A man with black hair, by the name of Ryu had to nod beside him.
"Shut up," The Chinese Tao boy hissed.
"Things have been fine, calm perhaps; nothing different in particular than the decorations changing," Anna said, "At least Yoh has not decided to act out, since he turned six…" She glanced over at Hao who was patiently still waiting for his answer "As for your question, Prince Yoh should be down soon, I just sent Tamao to get him" Hao nodded his head, everyone settling for light chatting around the room.
"Hey" Horohoro said as he turned to Hao, who he was now going to bodyguard as well as his brother "We all got separated from Yoh when he was five, what if he doesn't remember any of us? Even though you did see him a couple of times in between of every year, because you came on your own, but how long has it been since you last saw him?"
"Don't be ridiculous, well. Maybe he won't remember you, he has to remember me, I'm his twin brother" Hao smirked "and he loves only me"
"Aren't you a little to full of yourself?" Red remarked.
"No, I think Master Hao is correct, Master Yoh is extraordinary, he would never forget Master Hao." Ryu said after all he was the most loyal to the twins.
"Thank you for your belief Ryu" Hao said arrogantly.
"LADY ANNA!" Tamao ran in, with a teary and anxious expression shocking everyone.
"What a beauty" Ryu said.
"WE HAVE A PROBLEM, ITS PRINCE-AH" She cut herself off when she saw the entire royal family and guards. "Ah no" She said.
"What happened Tamao, what is Yoh up to? Is he being stubborn?" Anna asked a harsh remark to make the girl spill it. The girl shuffled under all of their stern gazes, there was no one here who was not protective of Yoh. The most over protective, one is Hao, his twin brother. Therefore, this was going to be scary and she knew it.
"Ah…ah" she said and then finally stopped her hesitating "I've looked all over the castle, I can't find the prince anywhere, he's gone!"
Everyone's eyes widened.
Yoh stretched out, a smile on his face and his arms behind the back of his head. "It's such a nice day," he said, a content sigh parting his lips. His Master, as well as he, Admidamaru, still had their round large silver earrings, where dressed in light white button up dress shirt and tight green pants, rolled at the top. They had put on socks as well as normal shoes, or what they considered normal there. Some air walk white ones. They had white fingerless gloves, but only his master Yoh had a bear claw necklace and newly bought orange earphones.
He was amazed that his Master was carrying such money to spend around, but he seemed to spend in moderation. Except for when he was introduced to some, music by someone named 'Bob' and thus, bought at least five different CDs and couldn't seem to stop listening to his music now, with that happy expression. "Mater Yoh, where are we going to be headed now?"
"Huh, oh" Yoh grinned "Let's go eat first, I saw a small burger shop." Admidamaru sighed and nodded, at least he could make the best out of whatever his master was planning.
"Okay, but please, you have to explain to me what you are up to. Right now we are in danger of getting killed by Anna"
"The more to prolong this trip" Yoh grinned and started to walk towards the restaurant "Also, sure I'll tell you my motives" Yoh looked around "Though one of my relatives probably lives around here, it seems familiar"
"A relative"
"Ah, I think his name is Silva or something like that" He had a bored expression on his face as he spoke "He's one of my cousins, we have to be careful he won't see us" As Admidamaru fallowed his Master around, he could only wonder where the laid-back prince was going to lead them to. All the while Yoh was thinking about all the possibilities and where they could lead them… Even though he still had no idea what this place was called.
