Sorry about the late update. I've been very busy. Thanks for all reviews
Chapter 6
Expectedly, the 'Imperial Jasmine' Garden was filled with vines of white Jasmine flowers. The ground was filled with the deciduous, dark green leaves of the Jasmine whilst the evergreen petals of the flower were spreading the strong, sweet smelling scent around the garden. The garden, itself, was filled with the many different species of Jasmine including the Shining Jasmine, Star Jasmine, African Jasmine, Yellow Jasmine, Arabian Jasmine, Winter Jasmine, Common Jasmine, and Gold Coast Jasmine. Across the stream that ran through the garden, creating scenery of peace, nature and equality, in the next garden, appeared to grow a variety of 'Sakura', Japan's unofficial national flower. From a distance, Kaoru saw the colors of white, pink and pale yellow billowing through the air, the petals slowly falling to the ground.
She looked to the north side of the wall surrounding the garden. She had heard voices. Kaoru hurried to hide behind a thick bush of Jasmine; the vines hiding her figure. The voices were much clearer now; the people were slowly heading towards her direction.
"…She does not know!" whispered a eunuch, dressed in the white hakama which showed his position in the household. A eunuch, who wore a white hakama, demonstrated that he was among the 'elite' ranks of the eunuchs. The black hakama eunuchs were looked down upon, not only because they were the bottom of the triangle, but because they were new and less skilled. The red hakama eunuchs meant that you were low in the brains' department, but very skilled in the fighting arts. The grey hakama showed that the eunuch were scholars and very lowly skilled in fighting.
"Our lord Reivan, shall let her know soon! Don't meddle where you do not belong, San," warned the male dressed in a black hakama.
"Hmmm, she needs to know the truth. Not just about her friend," he paused there, "but about everything including us."
Her heart started beating; the voices sounded remarkably like Sanii's and Suno's voices.
"The time has not yet come. We've waited this long, we can wait longer, all right?" said the black hakama eunuch.
"Very well," said the other eunuch grudgingly. The eyes of the black hakama eunuch met hers and held the eye contact. His eyes sent shivers down her back.
"Let's go, shall we?" asked the eunuch. She heard them head towards the castle of Lord Reivan.
