Making Plans and Something Unexpected
It was bright and early in the morning. No one was awake by this time and the halls and corridors of the palace was currently empty. Jou, on the other hand, was wide awake. He had stayed over at the palace for the night and was now making his way to the dungeons secretly so no one would suspect anything. He was aiming to talk to Tai and the others and get some things cleared out with them, an so he quietly and quickly made his way to the palace dungeons which were found in a secured part of the palace.
When Jou got to the dungeon's entrance, he saw, as expected, a guard. The guard was wide awake and was looking over for possible trespassers and such. Jou made his was and came ace to face with the palace guard.
"Ah sir Jou, pleasure to see you here on this fine morning." Greeted the guard with a bow. Jou, being a well known doctor was also well treated and respected by everyone.
"Hello, it's ice to see you here as well." Said Jou with a smile
"May I ask sir, what brings you here to the palace dungeons?" asked the guard curiously
"Well, based on my information some suspects have just been arrested for the wreckage of the village." Said Jou
"Yes that's quite true sir." Replied the guard with a nod
"Will it be alright if I went inside? I would like to see who these suspects are exactly." Asked Jou, he was hoping that he'll be allowed to go in, for he needed to get to the others quickly.
"I'm terribly sorry sir, for I have been given orders not to let anyone inside." Said the guard apologetically
"Oh I see…" said Jou sadly and then he thought "This is bad, if I can't get inside then how am I supposed to talk with Tai and the others? I have to find a way in somehow…but sneaking in wouldn't do me any good either, this place is to secured I'd be sure to get caught."
There was an awkward silence between them and no one spoke at first…but then a voice had soon interrupted their current silence…
"Jou? Is that you?" asked the voice which belonged to no other than queen Natsuko
Jou turned around and saw the queen look at him with a mix of confusion and slight tone of worry. He bowed and spoke "Good morning your majesty, I didn't expect to see you here today."
"I didn't quite expect to see you either. It's good to see you here Jou…if I may ask…what brings you here to the gates of the dungeon? I saw someone approach this place and got curious so I followed, but I never thought that I'd be you that I would find." Said queen Natsuko
"Um…you see…" Jou and the queen took a few steps away from the guard and spoke "Your majesty I didn't mean to trouble you, but I'm sure you've heard of what has happened to the village."
"Yes I have, it's been big news all around the palace." Said queen Natsuko
"Well…I'm sure that you're also aware that the suspects that have been arrested are…" as Jou was about to continue he was cut off
"Your friends? Yes I'm knowledgeable about that already…it gave me quite a shock when I saw them getting dragged inside the palace." Queen Natsuko now had a sad look in her eyes that Jou could very well see…
"Yes…I came here today to see if…by any chance…may I talk to them? When they got arrested I was never able to speak with them and I was hoping to have a word with them now…that is if it's alright…" explained Jou hoping that somehow someone would help him out
"I see…well…I don't quite approve of them being locked up there as well. Maybe I can be of some assistance to you Jou…" suggested queen Natsuko
Jou had a shocked look on his face. He thought "Asking for Her highnesses help may result to being an advantage or a downfall. I wouldn't want to get her involved in anything that might get her hurt or something like that."
Queen Natsuko saw through this look and spoke with a warm tone on her voice "Jou, they're your friends aren't they? They're Takeru and Yamato's friends as well. I want to help, for I believe in their innocence, although I cannot take any sides until the truth is revealed I don't think that letting you talk to them and hear them out is a bad thing. It's only fair that way…so please Jou, let me aid you in this problem."
Jou remained silent for a while and soon he looked at the queen and spoke "Thank you. They are my friends indeed, and I know they didn't do this. I know none of this might sound believable coming from me…but I grew up with all of them and I don't think that they'd do such a horrible deed…"
"I believe in you as well. If you're willing to tell me what you may figure out through this then I can assure you that I will surely help you uncover the entire truth of all this. If they are truly innocent then…things will find it's way that will eventually lead to the truth of it all." Said queen Natsuko with a smile
Jou returned the smile and said thank you once more. The two of them made their way back where the guard was. Queen Natsuko soon looked at the guard and spoke "Sir I would like you to please let sir Jou here enter. It is under my permission that he be allowed to enter and speak with the suspects."
The guard bowed and nodded "Yes your majesty of course, as you wish."
Then the guard opened the doors to the dungeon and gestured Jou to enter. Jou turned to face the queen once more and smiled and he spoke "Thank you so much your majesty." And with that said, he went inside the dungeons hoping to find and talk to Tai and the others as soon as possible. As he went inside he thought to himself "Tai…you guys…just hang in there…"
Jou walked inside the dungeons and found it rather silent. Of course, he didn't expect any more prisoners here aside from Tai and the others so he wasn't that shocked to find the cells completely empty. He kept walking until he came closer to a cell with Two people in it. He continued and as he arrived, he found Tai right there, sleeping. He also saw Sora who seemed to be wide awake.
Sora turned to face Jou as she heard the sound of footsteps getting closer to their cellar. She was wide-eyed when she saw her friend there but soon tears started to al down from her eyes as she saw Jou… "Wh-what are…how…how'd you get in here?"
"Hey Sor….are you guys alright?" asked Jou as he looked at Sora worriedly and spoke silently "Hey…you don't have to cry you know…Sor everything's going to be just fine. We'll get you guys out of here soon…I promise alright?"
Sora tried to stop her tears and spoke "Jou I'm glad that it was you…"
Jou looked at her with a confused expression "Huh? Did you expect anyone else to come and see you?" he asked
"I…I thought that it was Van. I just don't want to see him right now…" said Sora in a soft tone
Jou stayed silent for a moment then spoke "Van…who is he? His name doesn't seem to ring a bell…"
"He's the soldier in charge of the investigations with the whole issue in the village…he hurt Tai and well…he's not really a person you want to meet. He works under princess Cassandra and has been working for her for a long time now." Explained Sora
This had Jou thinking "A soldier working for Cassandra was the one in charge of the investigations? Now…isn't that kind of suspicious to say the least…"
Sora remained quiet for a second, then he heard Tai's voice as he was finally waking up along with the voices of Mimi and Koushiro. Tai rubbed his eyes and he looked around him. As he saw Jou he exclaimed out of shock. "J-JOU?!? What the..??? What are you doing here?"
"Shhh….Tai not too loud. Someone might here you…." Said Jou
"Well…he's already managed to fully wake me. It's not a surprise for him to yell like that. You already know how loud Tai can get at times like this." The voice of Mimi soon joined their little conversation.
Jou tuned around and saw Mimi and Koushiro looking at him as well. Koushiro was now wide awake too, especially after hearing Tai's loud eruption. "Jou…Tai has a good point though…what brings you here?" asked Koushiro
"Well…I needed to talk to you guys about some stuff. Mainly, it's about the whole being a suspect to something you guys didn't do thing…Ken sent me here and thought of using me as some kind of pass between you guys and them."
"Hmm….just as I thought. Ken's already thought of something hasn't he? He really is smart." Said Mimi with a smile then she looked at Koushiro "He's just like you."
"Well…I can't really argue with that can I? Anyway, Jou what's Ken got in mind?" asked Koushiro
"It's actually kind of complicated, but I'll try to explain the best way that I can." Said Jou
"Alright, so hit us, we're all ears Jou." Said Tai
"Well…for starters, there was a witness to the whole incident the other night. She told us what really happened and it seems like we've been scammed." Said Jou looking at Tai and the others
"Scammed? You mean like…this entire thing was planned from the beginning right?" asked Tai
"Yeah, that's how it looks like right now, Jamie was the witness. She woke up from all the noise and sneaked behind the door to take a look at what was going on." Continued Jou
"Did she see the real culprit?" asked Sora hoping that there was going to be a clear answer
"Unfortunately she didn't. She did say that they looked a lot like soldiers." Replied Jou
"Soldiers? What would they be possibly doing in the village in the middle of the night? Are you saying they were the one's who trashed the place while we were gone?" asked Mimi
"That's what it looks like, you see what was even stranger was the fact that Jamie saw them skip your houses on purpose." Said Jou
Koushiro's eyes widened and he exclaimed "That would explain why our hoes were perfectly clean. It wasn't just a coincidence, it was plot!"
"That would mean that whoever did this wants us out of here, and to be able to do that this person had to scam and frame us for something that we didn't do." Said Tai seriously and now he spoke again "And I could think of only one person who would want to go this far…"
"Cassandra…." They all said in unison
"That's what Ken assumes as well. I mean, all she needed was some evidence that pointed to you guys and she could get you locked up here and all her plans would work out." Sid Jou
"Not exactly, all we have to do is stop her before she even gets close to her goal." Said Tai
"It's not that easy, we have a lot to worry about. She planned this completely Tai, which means that if we make one false move we're in for it." Said Koushiro
"True, Ken gave me a little background on what we have to accomplish within two weeks at least and it's not a piece of cake I can tell you that much." Said Jou
"Two weeks? Why the time limit?" asked Tai confused
"Have you guys forgotten? Yamato and Cassandra's wedding is in two weeks. If we don't get you guys out of here on time things could get a whole lot worse for all of us." Said Jou as he saw their faces come to some sort of realization
"Darn! The wedding, I almost forgot about that! Wait a sec…they're continuing with this? Even with something this big at hand?" asked Tai, he figured that they'd put the town issue before the wedding so it occurred to him that it should at least be put on hold because of what had happened
"Apparently not, it would seem that they're going on with the one month deadline thing. Ken said this makes the whole set-up a bigger advantage for Cassandra." Said Jou sadly
"That's true, without us no one would stop the whole wedding thing and we'll all be stuck here while Yamato will be miserably waiting on he altar for Cassandra…Ew…that is not what I want to happen!" said Mimi in disgust, she couldn't even imagine Cassandra being wed to Yamato "That is not a kind of scene that I ever want to end up seeing."
"I don't think that any of us would want to see something like that. By the way, do Yamato and Takeru know about us being here?" asked Tai
"Um…yeah I know that they do. I was able to talk to them, it looks like Cassandra didn't want them finding out for a reason." Said Jou
"That would be an explanatory act, the main fat that Yamato and Takeru would want to help get us out of here would be unavoidable for her if so they were given the details of the situation." Said Koushiro
"In simpler terms, we'll be getting a helping hand and she didn't want that right?" said Tai
"Yes, knowing something like that could happen she did all she could to hide it from them, but they found out eventually anyway." Said Jou "Now I think they could lend us a hand."
"That's good to hear. So what's the main plan? Has Ken thought of any?" asked Mimi
"Well first off I need to get some information from you guys." Said Jou hoping to gather more clues
"Well if that's the case then we could start off with Van." Said Tai a bit angered
"Van…right I've heard of him…is he, by any chance, involved in this?" asked Jou
"It would seem that way, he didn't like us when he led us here and even gave Tai a hard blow in the face." Said Sora who finally spoke after the long silence of thinking to herself
"He also said something about not telling us anything even if he did know something about the incident." Said Koushiro remembering what had happened
"Other than the fact that he was in charge of the investigations, which on my account counts suspicious in my book, we don't really have any solid proof that he's related to the whole thing." Said Tai "If we did have some sort of proof though, that could help us in exposing the whole truth, and it might lead us to some sort of clue to Cassandra's guilt as well."
"Problem is…where would we get that kind of proof? He isn't just going to give it to us that's for sure." Said Mimi
"Yes, but if he did have some link with Cassandra or if he knew this would happen then there has to be something that linked them together. Anything will do, the only thing to do for now is to find it." Said Koushiro then he looked at Jou "Jou I need you to do something for us."
"W-what is it?" asked Jou, he had a feeling that whatever it was, risky was the word to describe it.
"I need you to sneak into Van's room here in the palace." Said Koushiro
"What? How and why would I do something like that?" asked Jou
"If what we suspect is true then we might find some kind of link that Cassandra and Van worked together on this. If we can find some kind of…list, letter, or anything with proof then we could get out of here." Said Koushiro
"Yeah, but…" Jou was about to protest when Koushiro cut him off
"You have to trust me, I'm sure that you'll find something there. Forget about getting us out here for now. First, you have to find some kind of proof then bring it here to us. Inform Ken and the others about it as well. You said so yourself, we can't waste any more time." Said Koushiro in a serious tone
"Come on Jou you can do it." Said Mimi "Just get in there and look for something convincing enough to get them guilty. You're the only one who can…I doubt that Yama would be able to move out of the wedding thing right now so please Jou." Said Mimi
Jou was silent for a while and soon he spoke "Alright, I'll try to sneak inside his room and look for some clues. If I find anything I'll get it and bring it here. I can't make any promises though…"
"No need for promises, we just have to think of a fool proof plan. Now our second problem is stopping that wedding. It's in two weeks right?" asked Koushiro
"Yes, it is. And they're undergoing preparations right now." Said Jou with a nod
"Then it looks like we're on our own for now. After you get that evidence, if so you do find one, just give it to us and our problem of getting stuck here will be over." Said Koushiro
"No it won't, we still have to go to the king and explain don't we? And if ever they don't find it believable then we're done for." Said Tai then he spoke again "Speaking of which, I doubt they'd believe us with Cassandra there contradicting everything we say."
"Yeah, not to mention that Van would be there to side with Cassandra we'd have no chance." Said Mimi sadly
"Don't be so sure." Said Koushiro
"Do you have something in mind Koushiro?" asked Sora looking at her friend
"Sort of, but I'm still thinking about it. I think I know a way to get out of here without going to all that trouble. All we would need are some stuff and the evidence of course." Said Koushiro with a smile
"What are you talking about? What other way could you possibly think of?" asked Tai
"Don't worry I'll tell you guys when we get everything that we need. Now, Jou you just have to accomplish all this and don't worry about us. When you get back to the village tell Ken and the others to continue looking for clues and if possible, other witnesses aside from Jamie." Explained Koushiro
"Alright I'll see what I can do." Said Jou then he waited for a moment before speaking "Guys, I better get moving, It'll be too suspicious if I stay here much longer, I'll see you all again soon."
"Okay take care of yourself Jou, and send my regards to the others and to Kari as well….is she doing alright?" asked Tai with a worried voice hoping that Kari wasn't harmed in any way.
"Yes, she's holding up quite nicely…Oh before I forget…" Jou took out the letter that Kari had addressed for Tai and handed it to him in between the steel bars "Here, it's from Kari she wanted me to give it to you when I see you guys so here it is."
Tai took the letter from Jou's hand and smiled "Thanks Jou I appreciate it. You're a real good friend. Tell her to take care and stay happy cuz' I'll be back soon."
"Will do Tai, anyway see you guys soon." Said Jou as he waved and said his goodbye's for the day. As he went out of the dungeons, he thanked the guard for letting him in and soon left and made his way elsewhere….
Meanwhile, Yamato wasn't in a very good mood. One, he just found out that his friends were arrested. Two, he just got reminded that his wedding, and the most horrible event in his life is just around the corner. And three, he's here in the palace doing wedding preparations for a wedding he doesn't even want to happen and at an event and time when his friends need his help the most.
"It's official…my life is a total disaster!" thought Yamato with a sigh "What am I even doing here when Tai and the others are being blamed for something they didn't do? I should be helping them, but instead I'm stuck here and have no way to get out."
His thoughts were interrupted by his mothers voice "Yamato are you alright?" she asked in concern
"Hmm? Oh mother…well…no I'm not. This is just the most horrible day in my life and I can't stand it anymore." Said Yamato
"Oh Yamato please don't lose hope. It'll be fine in the end." Said queen Natsuko
"I do hope so, but right now the chances of that happening are too slim." Said Yamato and then he asked "Oh and mother, where's Takeru?"
"He's going back to the village with my permission. He said he wanted to take a look at what's happened. He seemed quite worried and told me that it was urgent so I allowed him to go." Explained queen Natsuko
"Lucky him…." Said Yamato he was once again filled with his own thoughts "Normally, a wedding is supposed to be one of the happiest days in a person's life…unfortunately for me it's quite the opposite. I am not looking forward to this and other than that I don't even like who I'm getting married to. It would be different if it was Sora though…."
As he thought this, his face started to turn red and he thought "What am I thinking? I should be thinking of ways to help them not this! But…I do hope that she's alright…" Yamato had to admit that he didn't deny his earlier thoughts. If it were Sora that he was getting married to, it truly would be different and he might be doing his best if it was her…this made him think again "Come on Yamato, face reality. It's never going to happen, you don't even know if she feels the same way. Not to mention that father wouldn't allow it and…*sigh* I just want them to be safe…I'd give anything to see her safe and happy…even if it costs my own happiness as the price…"
Queen Natsuko saw her son's expression and asked "Yamato is there anything that you want to talk about? You know that I'll be willing to listen and I'll be more than happy to help in any way I can."
"It's alright mother, I do appreciate it, but I doubt anyone would be able to help me with this." Sad Yamato and he tried his best to smile "Don't worry, we'll see what comes out of this soon…excuse me I'd better take my leave. I'm sure that they're looking for me right now." And with that he left
Queen Natsuko's face saddened as she saw her son leave. He seemed to carry a heave problem and he didn't ask for anyone's assistance. She also saw through his smile, she knew that Yamato wasn't smiling for real. It was just some mask to cover up his true emotions… "Yamato I wish you'd open up more and tell me what's wrong…"
As Yamato walked away he spoke silently that only he could hear "I might as well go through with this, if she did all this just to get Tai and the others out of the way then maybe going on with the wedding could set them free and lessen their suffering. Besides I wouldn't want to be a son who disappoints…" he thought with a twinge of pain going through him…
Takeru hurriedly made his way to the village, when he got there it wasn't as lively as it used to be. Most of the shops were closed and the people were too busy fixing things and getting things together to even notice that he was there. Takeru's face saddened as he saw all of these people, some with lost homes and nowhere to go. He stopped by some of the houses that needed help and aided as many as he could. After he was done he went towards his main destination.
Ken was working at Tai's restaurant, dusting and cleaning and Davis and Cody were helping him out. Up until now they were waiting for Jou to come back from the palace and were hoping that the others have thought of something. As they were cleaning the doors went open and they turned to see Takeru standing by the door approaching them.
"Hey T.K what's up?" asked Davis plainly
"Hello, it's nice to get to see you guys again." Said Takeru, as he looked around he was shocked to see that the whole place was absolutely clean and not much dusting was needed to be done either
"Surprised? Don't be…it's been like this since we got back from our little vacation mayhem." Said Davis as he left for the kitchens leaving Takeru a bit confused by his actions. Davis wasn't acting like his normal self and Takeru could clearly see that.
"Forgive him. He's been like that since the arrest. He was alright last night, but I guess whenever he comes back here he can't help act that way every once in a while." Said Ken
"No, it's alright Ken. I should be the one apologizing. If I had known that this was to happen then…" Takeru was cut off by Ken on short notice
"What? Listen Takeru, no one blames you or Yamato for this. It's alright, most of us are just upset on what's happened. No need to pin all this on you alright. Don't mind our actions, we're fine really. We know they'll get out of there." Said Ken with a smile
"I know that but I can't help but feel responsible…" said Takeru sadly
"You shouldn't be. Anyway, what brings you here today? I thought that you weren't allowed to leave anymore based on Cassandra's orders." said Ken
"I asked permission from my mother without her knowledge. She's attending to wedding preparations right now so I shouldn't worry. I came to see how you guys were doing." Said Takeru "I'm not intruding am I?" he asked
"No of course not, you're always welcome here and you know it." Replied Cody with a smile
"Thank you…" said Takeru kindly
"I take it that you're looking for Kari?" asked Ken
"Yes, is she alright?" asked Takeru worriedly. He knew that since Tai was Kari's brother it must have been extremely hard for her
"She isn't here, she's in Sor's shop. She's tending to it right now. You can go ahead and see her if you'd like. I'm sure she's looking forward to seeing you as well. Don't worry about us here, we'll do fine. As you can see there isn't much to fix around here. Oh and about Davis, don't worry his attitude will die down eventually." Said Ken
"Alright thank you Ken." With that Takeru left the restaurant and headed for Sora's flower shop where he hoped to see Kari again
Kari was silently fixing and arranging the flowers in Sora's garden, since she was alone she was currently experiencing a too silent atmosphere. Kimlaska's people had not been that jolly ever since the incident and since Sora wasn't there she had no one left to talk to. She closed the shop, for she didn't expect any costumers for quite some time ever since what had happened so she tended to the garden instead.
After doing all that, she went back into the main shop and caught a glimpse of Sora's shelf. She went closer and a file of papers suddenly fell from the shelf. She picked them us and saw that they were Sora's sketches, sketches of them together, some when they were little and more as they were growing older. As Kari saw all these sketches she couldn't help tears forming in her eyes again. The silence in the room made it even harder for her to restrain them. A few seconds later the doors of the shop were opened and Kari saw Takeru going inside.
"Kari, are you alright?" asked Takeru as he went near her and got worried when he saw the tears in her eyes. He soon saw the sketches that she was holding onto. "May I see them?" he asked
Kari slowly let go of the papers and handed them to Takeru. As he looked at the sketches he soon realized why Kari was crying. She was remembering the times that they were all here…complete…together….
He placed the sketches back in the shelf and pulled Kari into a hug "It's alright, everything will work out. You can cry if you want to, there isn't anything wrong with that. You miss them don't you?"
Kari was holding on to Takeru as she spoke "Yes, and I'm afraid of what might happen to them…I want them here…and I want to see Tai again…."
Takeru hugged her tighter and spoke "I'm sure Tai and the others are alright, and he wouldn't want it if you were weakening like this because of him. Crying isn't bad Kari, but you have to stay strong, you could pour all your sadness out…go ahead and I'll stay here until you're feeling better. How does that sound?"
Kari simply closed her eyes and continued to let the tears fall down her face. Takeru was holding onto her as she cried and he was comforting her all the same. Having Takeru there made Kari feel better faster than expected. Tears were still falling a little later but they weren't as bad as before.
"Thank you…for being here for me…I know I sounded quite childish just crying like that. I'm sorry for bothering you T.K." apologized Kari as she was still leaning on him
"It's not a problem, I'm glad that I was here for you. I got worried when I found out what had happened and I asked permission if I could leave." Explained Takeru "Are you feeling better now?" he asked
"Yes, thank you." Said Kari with a smile
"Your welcome. I'm happy that you're smiling again. I was quite surprised to find you crying here and alone at that. I got worried when I saw you that way, I'm happy you're alright." Said Takeru returning the smile
"How did you know I was here?" asked Kari looking at Takeru
"Ken told me you were here. I had stopped by at the restaurant and I didn't find you there so I came here." Said Takeru
Kari was silent again for a moment then she asked "Are Tai and the others really alright?"
"Well…I haven't heard much, but I don't think they were hurt. They are just suspects still, hurting them would be going over the top, at least not unless they're proven to be guilty." Said Takeru
"I see…I hope they're okay. I sent Tai a letter telling him that I missed him and I hope that he's alright." Said Kari "I sent you one too, did you get it?"
"Yes, Jou gave it to me yesterday. He's returning today isn't he? He said something about a plan to get the others out. He talked to us last night and told us some details on things that have happened." Said Takeru
"Oh I see…well…how long will you be here?" asked Kari. She hoped that he's stay for a little longer. She wanted the company and someone to be there with her.
"I have to leave soon. Since the wedding preparations again I can't leave long. I'm sorry." Apologized Takeru. He too wanted to stay longer but knew he couldn't for the time being.
"Okay….can you go with me back home, I'm sure Ken and the others are waiting for me. Is that alright?" asked Kari
"Yes of course. I'd be more than happy to do so." Said Takeru with a warm smile
Kari gave off another smile in return and they both got up. Kari arranged everything and as they went out the door, she took out the key to the shop and locked the door. She turned to Takeru and they both made their way back to the restaurant…
As they got back, Takeru stopped at the front door and spoke "You better go inside, they're waiting for you aren't they?"
"What about you?" asked Kari
"I have to go back as well. I'm sorry that I couldn't stay longer." Apologized Takeru
"No it's alright, I'm glad that you came. Will you be back soon?" asked Kari hoping that he'd say yes
"I'm not sure but I'll try my best to do so. It's getting late you better head inside now Kari." Said Takeru
"Alright, do take care. And I hope you come back." Said Kari
"Yes, and please you take care as well. They'll be alright." Said Takeru comfortingly
"I know….I just have to wait for them to return. Well then see you again soon T.K." said Kari
As she was about to go inside Takeru stopped her "Kari wait…"
Kari stopped and turned around "Yes?" as she asked Takeru closed the distance between them and kissed her. She wasn't able to move and her eyes widened. Kari closed her eyes and her face began to turn red. Soon they broke away, Takeru was blushing and so was she. "I-I better go…take care Kari…." As Takeru left Kari was frozen and shocked but at the same time quite happy. After all that has happened she never expected something like this...and she never expected to have a first kiss, especially not with Takeru Ishida.
Authors Note: Thanks to all of you. The next chapter would be something about Jou's act of sneaking in Van's room. I hope you liked this chapter please review.
