Chapter 4: Capture and Release
Kyo trotted up to the cottage in hight spirits, he jumped off Haru and knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in…" An eerie voice called from inside. Kyo opened the door and was immediately attacked by Akito's servants, he tried to fight against them but there were too many. They tied him up and brought him to Akito who was watching on gleefully, Shigure next to her.
"Well this is a pleasant surprise" Akito said smugly shoving a candle in Kyo's face, lighting up the room. "I set my trap for a peasant, and look! I catch a monster!" Akito laughed in his face as Kyo struggled against the ropes yelled behind his gag. "Away with him. But gently, my pets, gently, I have plans for our pitiful guest." Akito said as she strolled out of the room, Shigure behind her. The servants dragged Kyo out of the room and followed Akito, but left his cape behind.
Uo and Hana reached the cottage to find it empty and dark with the door open, Kyo's cape was lying on the wooden floor.
"Akito! She has Prince Kyo!" Uo said grabbing the cape. Hana looked towards the mountains
"At the Forbidden mountain." Hana said
"We can't got there" Uo said desperately
"We can and we will" Hana said and started to fly in that direction, Uo hesitated knowing she would regret it and followed Hana.
Inside the twisted dark castle on the thundering mountain top, a party was in full swing, if you could call it a party. Akito's servants were dancing around a large bonfire in the middle of the throne room acting like the animals she'd turned them into. Akito looked thoroughly bored at all this and decided to pay the little monster a visit. She walked down dark hallways to the dungeon, with her 'pet' Shigure behind her, but unbeknownst to them, they were being followed by two very angry, and shrunken, fairies. Akito picked up a key from the chain on her wrist and turned the lock, opening the door to Kyo's cell. Kyo was chained to the brick wall of the cell, his head down and the life gone from his eyes.
"Oh come now, Prince Kyo, why so melancholy? A wondrous future lies before you." Akito said sarcasm dripping from her words. "You are the destined hero of a charming fairy tale come true." She said maliciously tapping her staff on the stone floor, the same sickly green ball of light illuminating at the top. It started to form images of the said fairytale, "Behold, King Katsuya's castle, and in yonder topmost tower, dreaming of her true love, the Princess Reimei. But see the gracious whim of fate, why, it is the same peasant maid, who won the heart of our noble Prince but yesterday." Akito looked to Kyo's shocked face continuing relentlessly. "She is indeed most wondrous fair. Chocolate brown locks for her hair, lips that shame the red, red rose. In ageless sleep she finds repose. The years roll by, but a hundred years to a steadfast heart are but one day. And now, the gates of the dungeon part and the Prince is free to go his way. Off he rides on his noble steed ..." The image of Kyo leaving is one of an old man on an old horse. "... A valiant figure, straight and tall, to wake his love with love's first kiss, and prove that true love conquers all." Akito started cackling, the sarcasm clear in her voice, Kyo struggled against his chains.
"You bitch!" was all he said before being slapped across the face by Akito.
"Silence!" She screamed, her mood changed, "Come, my pet. Let us leave our little monster with these happy thoughts." She said as she turned to Shigure, he nodded and they walked out. She leaned into him when they were outside the door.
"I think for the first time in sixteen years, I shall sleep well." He looked down to her and smiled; they left the dungeon and returned to her chamber.
Uo and Hana had watched the entire scene from their hideout on the high window sill. As soon as they heard Akito lock the door, they flew down to Kyo.
"What the…?" Kyo asked as two strange women suddenly appeared in front of him. Uo looked at him and shook her head.
"You gotta problem Orangey?" She asked in her threatening way, he was about to retaliate when Hana spoke up.
"There's no time to explain." She said simply and got to work on Kyo's shackles, Arisa got started on the door.
In a matter of seconds Kyo's hands and feet were free, Uo was having some trouble getting the door open.
"Could you hurry it up a bit?" Kyo said rather grouchy
"Would you like to try it then?" Uo retaliated, their bickering went on until Hana got impatient.
BANG
The door fell limply to the side, while smoke came from the hinges and lock.
"Someone might have heard that, let's go." Hana said walking out the door, or rather the hole, Uo followed her, Kyo just stood there shocked.
"Hurry up Orangey!" Uo called to him, he quickly caught up with them and they stopped to give him some supplies.
"Arm thyself with this enchanted shield of virtue and this mighty sword of truth. For these weapons of righteousness will triumph over evil." Hana and Uo said handing the newly made tools to him, he raised his eyebrow.
"Shield of virtue? Sword of truth?" Kyo asked cynically
"Hey, I don't make up the words I just say 'em, now get a move on already!" Uo said fed up with his bickering. They began their escape again, past Akito's tower, where Shigure was in the window, he saw them running and notified the guards, then he ran out to join the attack.
"Damn that Shigure!" Kyo yelled over the battle cries of the grotesque guards as they ran to the draw bridge. Just then the animal-like soldiers started to throw head-sized rocks at Kyo and the escaping fairies, Hana turned around and quickly turned them into bubbles. The attack continued when arrows were shot through the sky towards them, but Uo turned them into flowers with lightening speed.
"Dammit! Won't they ever give up?" Kyo cursed as he ducked an arrow-turned-flower.
"Uh, Orangey, I don't think you understand-they're trying to kill you!" Uo yelled at him as another wave of arrows flew towards them. Hana had reached the imprisoned Haru and was attacking his chains.
"Hurry, they're trying to kill me!" Kyo said a little frantic as Uo turned yet another wave of arrows into flowers.
"Yeah, now you get it!" Uo said puffing as she joined them. "They really don't get that arrows don't work, huh?" she said as the soldiers reloaded their bows. She turned the still stationary arrows into flowers and the bows into twigs. "That should do it" she said satisfied
"Woops" Hana said as she stood back from the now but-naked human Haru
"What?" Haru said vaguely as he stood up and stepped out of the chains, now loose around his ankles.
"Hana what did you do?" Uo said shocked covering her eyes
"I'm not quite sure…" Hana said as she conjured a cloak for Haru to cover his but-nakedness
"So that's why he always understood me…" Kyo wondered, off in his own little world, Uo rolled her eyes.
"Hana you're gonna have to turn him back" she said turning back to her
"I know, sorry Haru" She faced Haru again and turned him back into the handsome horse he was
"Brrr" Haru sigh-neighed, now a horse again
"You will change him back after won't you?" Kyo asked, hopeful for a friend
"If…you…want…?" Uo asked baffled by Kyo's current weirdness
"Great! Now! To rescue Tohru!" Kyo said jumping onto Haru's back and galloping back to King Katsuya's castle, Hana and Uo close behind.
