I'm Sorry

-x-x-x-

Kagome was running cold water over her right hand, blood and water intermingled. She held tears back; her frustration over what Wolfram had said confused her. She would normally have told him to stop talking and given him the speech she had ended with, only, she would have done that first. Blood never would have been spilt...well, not her's at least, but still, she never lost control over her emotions so easily before. "Stupid Bielefelt!" She cried out when the wound wouldn't stop bleeding despite the pressure she was applying.

"So now I'm stupid?" Kagome felt her eyes widen, she turned around with her hand grasped tightly in her other blood coated hand. His green eyes looked at the wound, a frown marred his face. "Quite the temper, so..." He paused, grabbing a clean cloth from the shelf next to him before walking up to her. "Not only have you proven yourself inadequate as a proper woman; you are easily enraged and have a habit of talking boorishly of others behind their back." He resisted a smirk, watching as her left hand turned white around the knuckles from her vice like death grip. He took her other hand and she tried to pull away. "Oh, you're stubborn too,"

"You done yet! Let go, I can do this my self!"

"No, I'm not done, your independent, intolerable...you'll need a miracle if you want to be Queen here."

"I never said that I wanted to be the Queen. I want to go home, and live the way I was. Beating up the punks that picked on my friends, skateboarding at the ramps and parks, swimming at the beach, Gymnastics, Track, Home Economics and Math...I want my family...I don't want to be here any more." Tears began falling against her will.

"...I'm sorry..."

Her eyes dilated, she looked at him in shock.

"I...hadn't meant for you to get so upset to the point that you hurt yourself. I am not proud of what I said, it was discourteous and uncouth. You were right, I have never met your mother and so I had no right to say those things."

"...Bielefelt..." He finished tying the cloth around her hand and stood up. Pulling her to her feet with him, he turned and walked towards the door.

"Follow me; I'll take you to your room." She blushed and nodded, following after the proud blonde.

'Ladies and gentleman, I give you, the first...and last...time, that he will ever be this kind to me. Oh god...I hope that I'm wrong...'

"This is your room; you are three doors down from me, if you need anything. The others are in different hallways."

"Why is that?"

"Mother's wish, how would I know?"

"Your mother...she scares me."

"She scares everyone, but they love her anyways. It's late, goodnight." He said, opening her door and letting her through.

"Uh, thank you and...Goodnight." She shut the door, sighing in relief.

'Please, let there be something simple in here for me to sleep in.'

Wolfram sighed when he got to his room. He kicked the nearest thing to him, which was sadly a side table with a flower vase on it.

~CRASH~

"Damn it, why did I apologize...I didn't need to, it wasn't my fault..." He glared at the glass and blood flashed in his head, his eyes filled with regret. "She's the one who took it out of proportion." He walked to his bed and fell face forward into his pillow, not caring that he still had his sword draped over his side, or that he was still in uniform. "That, is the last time, I'm going to apologize to her, without meaning it."

~Gasp~

Wolfram sat up in bed and turned to the door, he saw a shadow and stood up, the shadow took off and the sound of footsteps fading could be heard. He took off to the door and threw it open in time to see black hair vanish around the corner.

"Great..." Wolfram took off after her; he was surprised by her luck. She managed to pass with no trouble at all. The guards would either leave as she was passing or arrive as she passed, cutting him off in the process.

"Tell mother I'll be back with Kagome in the morning!" He yelled out to the guard; he watched him take off to his mothers' chambers and continued forward. By the time he got to the horses, she was already ridding off on Starlet; he took hold of his white horse and mounted, and then, he followed once more after her.

-x-x-x-

Kagome passed the guards and laughed when they stumbled to get on their horses, she watched as someone called out to them, pulling on her horses' reigns, she watched what was happening. Her eyes widened when blonde hair came into view. The guards returned to their post and Wolfram started towards her.

"Starlet, let's go!" She told the horse. She had learned its name from the carving over her stall.

The white horse took quickly to the command and took off down the mountain and towards the town. 'Just try and catch me!'

-x-x-x-

Conrad headed to his own horse.

"Conrad..."

He turned, "Mother..."

"Leave them. Wolfram is capable of protecting her, and besides. He made the mistake of insulting her mother; he needs to fix it himself. Also, this is the perfect opportunity for Wolfie to get close to her Majesty. She would make a lovely bride for Wolfie; don't you think, Conrad, darling?"

He sighed, "Yes mother, she would make a lovely bride. However, Wolfie...may think otherwise."

"Oh?"

"Nothing mother, let's go back inside." He said, giving one final glance over his shoulders before walking inside with his mother leading the way.

-x-x-x-

"You can't out ride me Kagome!"

"Watch me Bielefelt!" Kagome was ahead of Wolfram by only a few inches, they had passed the village town a while ago and were heading to dangerous territory now.

"Kagome, pull the reigns, we aren't aloud any farther!"

"Don't tell me what to do Bielefelt!" She snapped the reigns and Starlet went faster.

Wolfram glared and called out, "STARLET, STOP!"

The horse slowed to a stop, just before a dark and unwelcoming forest. Kagome looked at it and shivered. "Traitor," The horse huffed and shook its head.

"She was raised by me, of course she would stop." Wolfram said indignantly, Kagome hopped off of her horse and moved towards the forest, leaving the horse and Wolfram behind. "Kagome!"

She stopped at the edge of the forest. A cold draft hit her hard and it felt almost as if it was pulling something from within her, out. She collapsed to her knees, her arms closed tightly around her body. She felt something fall onto her head and glanced up, Wolfram was no longer dressed in his blue uniform jacket, but the white top, blue pants and black boots with his sword at his side. His jacket resting over her head, she felt tears well-up in her eyes, her body shook harder and she turned away. Looking at the ground, the tears fell.

"You really are helpless."

"That's not true, this forest...get me away from this forest...I don't like it..."

He looked at the forest strangely. Sighing, he bent forward and picked up the troubled girl. Just then, he noticed her attire. A long black and blue gown, no...A seductive...Long black and blue gown in a Victorian style, it had a chiffon padded bust line, a lace insert and a sexy high slit in the front that came up to her belly button. He blushed at the visible black panties and leg garter that were clearly visible; the chiffon black robe had only hidden the fact that she was so scantily dressed.

"You...you took off, in the middle of the night...dressed like this!" She looked down and blushed, struggling to cover her self with the robe, Wolfram almost lost his grip on her. "Hey!"

"...Sorry..."

"What were you doing outside my door dressed like this to begin with...?"

"Oh, that. I was worried."

"What about?"

"I heard a loud crash and...I thought something had happened."

"Oh..."

"Wolfram...could you, take me..."

His eyes widened, "...what..."

"Could you, take me back...to the castle."

"Oh," He let out a breath of relief. "Yeah," He walked up to Starlet and placed her on the horse before climbing on behind her, whistling to his own horse, he took off in a trot, trying not to go to fast, his own horse followed behind them, keeping up with the smooth pace.

"Wolfram..."

He felt warmth swell up in his chest at his whispered name. He looked down at the soon to be queen who was draped in his jacket still, her head leaning against his chest.

"Hm,"

"Why did you apologize?" He watched her eyes close, she was forcing herself to stay awake now.

"Because, I...was mad."

She frowned, her eyes still closed. "At me?"

"No, myself, I was mad that what I said...made you hurt yourself. So I apologized, to make that anger and guilt go away. But..."

"It didn't go away...did it..." She was smiling now. "It wasn't your fault Wolfram, I hurt myself purposely. Throughout the dinner, everytime you said something hurtful to me, I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream, but mostly...I wanted to hurt you, and that scared me. I grabbed the nearest object to me, and that just happened to be the knife. Then I snapped, I slammed the knife into the table and was going to slap you, but that pain...it brought me back to my senses. I was about to hit someone...for speaking their thoughts. Yes, rude and uncalled for...but not worth hitting someone for. I had never felt so embarrassed or ashamed of how I was acting. But...I felt humiliated when I found out that you were just pretending to be nice to me. I think...that, that hurt more...than the knife." Her breathing started leveling out, "Wolfram...I'm sorry." Her words threw him off.

He clenched his eyes shut tightly, before he sighed. She had fallen asleep. "What a weird girl."

-x-x-x-

Lady Cecilie watched as one of the guards took the horses from her youngest, who carried their future queen back inside.

"Hm...Black hair...green eyes...little girl, what do you think Gwen, darling?" Gwendal looked at his mother, his brow twitching.

"I think two children is plenty for this castle."

"Your right, twins would be great!"

"I was referring to the two already here, particularly, Wolfram and Kagome."

"Oh...what about a little boy, blonde hair and green eyes."

He sighed, "The castles already got one of those."

"A little girl, blonde hair and green eyes."

He eyed his mother. "The castle has one of those too."

She glared at her oldest. "Fine...I'll talk to Anissina about it!" She stormed out of the room, her son staring speechless at the door as it slammed shut.

"Oh save me."
