Okay! I know I have Moriranger to work on but all of the chapters will be done today! It was supposed to be for English class but she didn't allow it so it's now a fanfic! A decent love story with a surprise ending.
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing from Super Sentai!

Takeru paced his room in worry. After that final "date" he had with Kotoha a few weeks ago, he couldn't help but to chase after her for she can no longer see him. "I have to see her…" he thought as he paced. There was a knock at the door and Kaoru came in.
"Are you okay, Takeru?" she asked," You seemed to be worried since a month ago."
"I'm fine, Kaoru. Just thinking…"
"You're thinking about her, aren't you?"
"Kaoru, you don't understand. I have to go." Takeru went over to his desk and took out his katana which was hidden behind it and left, making his sister worry. "She can't know," he thought.
~~FS~~
Kotoha sat in her room, fingering the dagger Takeru gave her as she smiled at the memories she had with him. "Takeru-san… I hope we can see each other again…" she thought as she held it close. Her train of thought was interrupted when she heard clashing metal. She put the dagger to the side and looked out her open window. She gasped when she found Takeru fighting the guards. "Takeru-san!" she cried. He cut down one of the guards and looked up at her.
"Kotoha! If our countries can't accept terms, there's one thing I have left to say before I leave!" he called," Princess Kotoha of the Land of Yellow, will you marry me?" Kotoha felt tears stinging her eyes as she smiled.
"Takeru-san… Yes! I will marry you!" Takeru smiled but snapped back to reality and fought against the guards, making Kotoha worried. "Guards! Stop attacking! He's not evil!"
"Seize attack!" a voice shouted. Kotoha tensed when she found her father stepping out of the palace with an angered look on his face. He turned to Takeru. "Ruffian from the Land of Red! What brings you to our country?"
Takeru sheathed his katana. "King of Yellow, I have come in the name of my country to stop this war. However, since our countries can't agree with each other, I have no other choice. I've met your daughter and I want her to be my wife."
At this, the King laughed a hearty laugh. "You? Marry my daughter? No one is allowed to even speak with my daughter! Especially those of your country!" The King turned to Kotoha who coward in fear. "You, young lady, are to never marry such person from our enemy country! As punishment for seeing him, you are to witness his execution!"
"But Father!"
"Don't talk back at me, young lady!"
Kotoha immediately became silent but noticed a guard sneaking up behind Takeru. "Takeru-san! Behind you!" she cried. Takeru tried to react but the guard hit the back of his neck with the sheathe of his sword, knocking him unconscious. "Takeru-san!"
"Men! Bring him to the prison!"
"Yes, sir!" Two guards lifted Takeru by his arms and dragged him away.
Kotoha stumbled into her room as she burst into tears. The door slid open and her mother rushed in. "Kotoha!" the Queen comforted her daughter as she couldn't believe it. Sure she didn't have any idea about the two's relationship but it wasn't right for her husband to punish her daughter to watch her lover's execution.
"What's wrong with him?" she thought as she comforted the crying Princess.
~~FS~~
Takeru groaned as he woke up. He rubbed the back of his neck as he noticed a bruise forming. He sat up and looked around to find himself in a wooden prison cell. "Damn it…" He then heard a voice.
"Please! I have to see him!" a voice cried. He went closer to the wooden cell bars to find a figure at the entrance. He recognized the voice and yellow kimono. Seeing the guards let her through, the figure rushed over to him and went to her knees. "Takeru-san! I'm so sorry! I didn't want it to be this way!"
Takeru petted her head in comfort. "It's okay, Kotoha. It wasn't your fault. I just wanted to see you again."
"But… I won't see you again after tomorrow…" she said, her voice breaking.
"It's okay. It's not like I'll always be gone." He took off the necklace and put it around Kotoha's neck. "Keep this with you as well as the dagger. Something to help you keep our happy memories."
"Takeru-san…" He leaned closer and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips before pulling away and held her hand.
"I'll be fine. Trust me, okay?"
"Princess. It's time to go," a guard spoke, interrupting them. He took Kotoha by the arm and started leading her out.
"Takeru-san!" The two held each other's hand before being separated. "Takeru-san!"

The day of the execution arrived as the citizens of the capital surrounded the center of the city where most executions took place. There was a large stage where the King stood with a sword in his hand. Takeru knelt in front of him with his hands behind his back as he faced the Royal family who sat at the opposite end of the stage. Guards surrounded the stage as the town waited.
"Citizens of the Populace! Here in front of me is an intruder from enemy territory! The Prince of Red! Insolent ruffian, do you have any last words?" the King shouted as he looked down to the boy.
Takeru smirked and looked at Kotoha. "Kotoha. I love you," he said.
"Takeru-san!" Kotoha got out of her seat and rushed towards him, only to be stopped by nearby guards.
"Ruffian! Don't talk to my daughter like that! It's time for you to meet your end!" The king aimed and raised his sword. He swung down but the sound of the cut was silenced from gasps from the crowd and Kotoha's scream.
"Takeru-san!" she screamed as his headless body fell forward. Tears swelled up in her eyes and she made a dash to the forest. The Queen was about to chase her but Chiaki stopped her from going further.
Kotoha ran as fast as her feet could take her, the tears, slightly blurring her vision. She stumbled and fell to her knees as she cried against the sakura tree, her hand fingering the necklace.

Don't hurt me! I swear, I was really sick and tired about stories with happy endings! It was too much and I wanted to see if it was a sad one! Just don't kill me!
