Chapter 3: A Trip to the East Part 2

"Mother what's going on I don't understand what you're saying?" Amir said. Mayu looks at him and touches his face.

"This man came from the land of my people I was speaking my native language," she said.

"Miss I would like to show you to my ship and show you my other merchandise that you might be interested in," he said. Mayu and Yuri faces glowed with excitement. "I also have some toys that the children might like"

"Oh, that's great well come," Mayu said. "Come on, were going to go with this man her has some stuff that you might be interested in," they all go on the boat and Mayu and Yuri was surprise to see that there was more Japanese people on the boat. The old man led them below deck then. A man said something to thing to the old man. The old man whisper in his ear, without knowing the boat started to move. When the boat was away from the shore did everything started to move to the other end of the boat. They all go outside and saw the land in the distance.

"Wait were moving," Deiru said. Mayu went to the old man.

"What's going on were moving?"

"I'm sorry but we had to go…." he said.

"What is it?"

"We're not allow to turn the ship"

"Our husbands live there what about them," Yuri said.

"I also lost my wife a long time ago, its best to forget them," he said as he walks away.

"Mom what's going on are we going turn around," Amir said.

"It looks like our trip is going to be longer than what we originally plan," Mayu said.

"I don't understand, why are we moving?"

"Don't worry we seem to go on the same time as their departure well get on the first boat back home once we stop. Now go back down with Yuri and I'll have a talk with the old man okay," Mayu said. The children started to go down then she see the old man talking to another member of the ship. She was just about to go and say something when she heard then talking.

"Are you sure that they will do for the kings?"

"They have to they both said that they wanted a bride that no one have else have had before beauty beyond compare, but still have the Japanese blood line these women I don't know how but they are both Japanese," the old man said.

"And what of their children," he asks.

"They can stay with their mother if that what the King wishes," the old man said.

Mayu could believe what she just heard she hid in the darkness until the two men when back into their rooms and ran all the way back down until she was with her family.

"We're leaving now," she said. Yuri look at her in confusion.

"Mayu but what about the…."

"Yuri trust me when I said this it's in our best interest if we leave now," they all follow her until she said a boat that could fit them all in.

"Deiru and Amir you two go in first you have your swords with you?" Mayu said

"Yes," they both said in unison.

"Then when I tell you to cut the rope you cut it in one swing," she said.

"Alright," they got in and started to help the other in when they last two children where in. Mayu heard a voice that yelled.

"Yuri, get in"

"You first"

"I have no time for this," she pushes Yuri inside the boat. "Cut it now!" Amir hesitated

"But…"

"Now," without thinking Maysa took his sword and swung it in the rope the same time Deiru did, and the boat fell into the water.

"Mom!" Mayu was about to jump into the water and swim after them but someone grab her just as she was about to jump.

"Mom!" she heard Amir voice in the distance.
