A/N...hello everyone, I'm so grateful for the reviews on the first chapter. It put me in such a happy mood that i decided to update. anyways, I also just watched Episode 44 of Gundamseed destiny and i was so happy afterwards that i finished this chapter sooner than expected. I know that anime has nothing to do with this fic, but i was just so happy to see that because it was so cool. Well, enjoy this everyone.

Light that shone on her face became an irritating thing. She scrunched her eyebrows attempting to get away from it. She turned on her side and her hands came in contact with a soft warm form. She cracked one eye opened and allowed it to adjust to the light. In an instant she screamed and took possession of the pillow under her head.

She began to swing the pillow down on the man "you sick pervert"

Richard arose from his slumber feeling something smacking into his face "what the hell?" he tried to cover his face with his hands "Woman what the fuck is wrong with you?"

"You fucking pervert, how dare you touch me?"

"Touch you? When did I touch you?"

Raven got up from the bed and walked over to the other side of the bed bringing down the pillow on him again "your perverted hands were on my breasts you sick bastard. We agreed that you would not touch me"

Raven yelped when her pillow was snatched from her hands and her body pulled down towards the bed. Robin grinned and climbed over her "first of all, we did not come to any agreement about the touching. As I recall I allowed your brother to live, but in no way did I say I would not touch you. You are mine woman remember that. Besides, I like touching you"

Raven closed her eyes "this is a night mare, this is not happening to me. What the hell did I do to deserve this treatment and with this ass..."

"This great king? You are right, what did you do?" he laughed.

"Your breath stinks" she said in a monotone voice

"So does yours my dear" he said in a mocking tone

"Good, get off me so I may freshen up" Richard stood up from raven's form and pulled her up as well.

She walked over to the bathroom door, but before she could do anything she felt herself being lifted and thrown over "what the hell are you doing?"

Richard had thrown her over his shoulder and with one hand on her ass and the other on the door he entered the bathroom "you are going to prepare my bath woman" she pounded on his back only to hear him cackle like an idiot.

She rolled her eyes while sighing in defeat. He sure was a stubborn mule. All she was looking forward to was seeing her brother and planning her escape without the king knowing. Richard placed her down "now, fill the tub"

"I'm not your fucking maid"

he tsked "what should we do about that mouth of yours? A young lady shouldn't use such language"

"Spare me the etiquette your highness" she hissed while filling the tub with warm water. Thank god that this really wasn't the dark ages. Richard proceeded to wash his teeth while his eyes looked at the woman that was bent down. She really had a nice piece of ass to her, he thought.

She smirked looking back at him. The morning was cold...you want a warm bath my king, lets see how much you are going to like me after you set foot in this cold bath instead. That I'll cool your ego off bastard. She chuckled and Richard turned to her.

The little minx was planning something "is it ready yet?"

She stood up and wiped her hands on her night gown. She looked down at the wet material and shrugged, not like she was going to be wearing for long anyways "yes my lord"

he took in a deep "aha, that's more like it my love" he proceeded to undress and Raven became alarmed.

"What do you think you are doing? Cover up" she turned around.

His laughter reached her ears "you don't expect me to get in the bath with my clothes on do you? Do not be shy my dear, besides you will see all of me soon enough"

"In your dreams" she muttered, but her cheeks were really red and she was tempted to peak.

Richard passed her and her eyes landed on his behind. She blushed even more. Thank god the front wasn't shown yet. She turned around and heard Richard curse "shit, this is cold" she suppressed her laugh "are you trying to give me a cold and then kill me?"

Raven's shoulder shook with laughter and Richard narrowed his blue eyes. Two can play that game. Before Raven knew what was going on Richard caught her hand in his and tugged her towards the bath. Both landed into the cold water "AAHHHH" screamed raven.

Although he was freezing it was amusing to watch the vixen trying to gain control of her body and lift herself up. So without a second though he brought her body atop his and wrapped his arms and legs around her.

Imagine the surprise she got when she felt something poking her stomach. She looked down but the water and their bodies being this close covered everything. She tried to pull away but that only increased his hold on her "now, since you obviously tried to get me sick, I think it's only fair that you join me in that same quest"

Raven growled and tried to pull away again "let me go"

He shook his head. How can he let her go? Her body so deliciously pressed to his was actually warming him up, not to mention his sword. Not the metal one he carried, oh no the other "but I rather like it like this"

"What the hell is poking me anyways?"

He blushed, but raven didn't notice. She was trying to pull away "well my dear if you want to know" he leaned forward his lips close to her ear making her shiver "that's my secret weapon, the one I've been meaning to use on you since yesterday"

This time she slapped him "you are one sick bastard"

he rubbed his throbbing cheek with one hand "I'll have you know that I was born out of marriage"

"What are you rambling about now?" she gave up on the struggle trying now to get warm. The water was cold, maybe she over did it a little...she shook her head ...nah he deserved it.

"You called me a bastard, and by definition that is a child born out of wedlock and who's father or sometimes mother will not recognize them as their child. I did have a father and I do have a mother"

Raven smirked "I pity the woman that is your mother. You must have been some kid growing up"

He seemed offended by that "leave my mother out this Raven" his voice held no humor, it was cold.

Raven sighed again metal note: do not talk about mother...topic is hands off. Got it. That damn poking again.

Richard let the comment about his mother and childhood slide the minute his eyes got a nice view of her plump breasts. The nightgown which had been white was now transparent and he was getting a free show. Her nipples were harden and he wanted so bad to wrap his tongue around them.

One of his hands traveled down the expanse of her back while Raven was lost in thought. Heck if she was going to space out on him, he might as well make it worth his time. The hand lifted the nightgown from her thighs and began to ride it up her form. He could feel her soft legs against his.

Raven shivered more. Was it her or did her skin become colder? She looked at Richard and noticed that his eyes were staring somewhere else. Rather, they were staring behind her. You see his face was looking over her shoulder while her hands were on his shoulders "what are you doing?"

Richard didn't drop his hand nor did he stop what he was doing "well, we do need a bath and you my lady can not take on with this on" he emphasized 'this' by tugging at the hem of it.

Raven pulled away from him with all her might and managed to land her back on the other side of the tub. She brought her knees up to her chest "well, you bathe and I'll take mine after you are done"

This was useless. She was going to be the death of him, but he really did enjoy their little banters. Sooner or later the woman would beg for him "woman take it off and bathe. You do want to see your brother right?"

She clenched her fists "my name is not woman, and yes I want to see my brother. Now turn around" he did as she asked and she lifted the nightgown over her head. She submerged into the tub "alright"

He turned around and also submerged "see, now that wasn't so hard was it?"

Raven glared his way and began to wash her face with her hands being careful not to let the idiot see her breasts, not knowing he already did "shut up"

A loud knock at the door caught the attention of the couple "What is it? I'm bathing" demanded the king.

The door opened and in stepped a young woman nervously "my lord, I'm sorry to intrude but you are needed in the science department. They believe that another space pod is going to land in a matter of days" Richard stood from the bath not caring about his state of dress..er...lack of it and the woman bowed her head in embarrassment.

Her king had one of the nicest bodies around, but he would never spare her a glance "Damn it all to hell. Get Logan and Stone to meet me there. And please escort my lady to see her brother. I'm sure they are keeping him in the servant's chambers. No more than an hour understood?"

She bowed again "yes sire" Richard left the bathroom and rushed to dress himself. Raven just sunk into the bath even more. The woman was still in the bath and Raven did not want to deal with anyone, but she had to see her brother. Scrubbing herself quickly she stood up and covered herself with her hands.

"My lady is there anything you need?" Raven looked at the woman...er...girl. She appeared young with her wild blonde hair and blue eyes large and shinny.

"Please, my name is Raven. Would you mind stepping out so that I may dry myself" the young woman smiled and walked out of the bathroom.

Minutes later Raven steppe into the room to find the young girl by the door and no sign of the king "I will wait outside for you my lady"

Raven looked at the girl "I told you to call me Raven"

"Can I please call you that when we are not around the king. I mean he might not care too much, but he was brought up differently"

"I know. It's alright" raven walked over to a dress that was already placed on the bed for her "great another flashy dress" the young girl laughed "what's your name?"

"I'm terra"

Raven looked at the disgusting red dress "you would think that people would have left this kind of style back in the 1800's. it's freaking 3029 and we know that there's life in other planets, know that the universe is infinite, yet we still wear clothes that can only cover 20 percent of your body"

Terra didn't know what came over her but she laughed. It has been a long time since she had nice talk with anyone and this woman was actually making her laugh "you know, I ask myself the same thing. But we should hurry, your brother might be getting breakfast with the rest of the help"

"Alright"

Richard was sitting in his chair as the top scientist spoke "we don't know if this ship is a friend or foe my lord, but they had requested to land. What should we do?"

"We should allow them to land and see what is it that they desire"

The scientist was shocked "but sire, what if they are hostile?"

Richard smirked "then we kill them all. Simple as that" many murmur and others looked on as their king pointed at a screen "if they are not friends get rid of them. Our kingdom is peaceful, but we will not allow anyone to take over it. When will they land?"

One scientist scurried about holding papers tightly against his chest "approximately a week from now"

"Good. That will give us time to gather all of our defenses around the world. Send word out to my commanders to warn their villages of a possible attack. Stone, Logan you are both in charge of our main defenses in the palace"

Stone stood up "alright Robin what ever you say"

Logan smirked "yeah, we will show them our best weapons if they mess with us"

Richard shook his head "no killing the aliens with your bad jokes Logan"

"Hey, I'm offended here Robin...oh fearless leader"

Richard sat back on his chair "alright. Now that we have everything set, I would like to return to my chambers if you don't mind" the others gave knowing looks to the king but he ignored them as he walked out.

Stone put a hand to Logan "he has it bad beastie"

"Yeah, but I wouldn't mind having it bad for that piece of ass in his chambers. You think he will give her to us after he is done?"

Stone laughed "even if he did-which I doubt may I add-that woman is one fiery spirit. She will sock you one before you even get to first base with her" Logan shrugged.

"Oh, well I could always get miss Terra..that's one sweet girl"

"Don't go breaking her heart man. She's very shy and very nice. If I get complaints from her or any other girl your are going to have a meeting with my fists"

Logan snickered "please. You're always the big brother"

"Yeah"

Raven and Terra made their way through the palace hallways. The building was beautiful and she was glad for wearing flats, not like she had shoes to pick from. She brushed her hand against the cold wall as they walked looking around, trying to memorize the place in case she escaped sooner than expected.

They came to a large door and Terra pushed it open "he should be there" she pointed inside and Raven nodded walking in.

Kyoshi had calmed down considerably since the night before, but the thought that his baby sister was in the arms on the king alarmed him greatly. She was pure and should be taken only when she was married. It was the law in his planet and perhaps it was the same here. He had studied some of earth's traditions and he was sure that somewhere it said that women usually were married before being taken by their husbands. Of course the book was from 1850 and he was living in the year of 3029. Oh well a minor time shift. Yet, the people of earth had in many ways returned to the times of kings and queens. It seemed fitting that the earth be united under one ruler instead of many leaders. That had only led to stupid senseless wars, until the great leader decided that enough was enough. The Americas, both North and South aligned and over threw the guerrilla and other political groups, thus a new power was born. But the question was, who would rule? A Wayne, a man from a prestigious family stepped up and put a quick end to the bickering over who should rule. Ever since that great war, earth was united under one king and one queen. And up to this date a Wayne still ruled. But earth had been destroyed considerably by all the nuclear weapons and live was slowly but surely returning to what it used to be before.

Technology was thriving and science was what every child wanted to study. Normal jobs were scarce and the only thing left was either to be a merchant in the street markets or be a guard in the national king's army. He is a decent fighter, but putting his life in danger while still looking out for his younger sister was not what he had in mind.

Kyoshi shook his head from remembering what he had read in all those old books and played with the food before him. Onaicul was about to start cleaning the hallways when he spotted the young man and his aging face lit up "Master Kyoshi?"

The young man looked up from his meal and then looked to his right. His eyes lit up the minute he recognized the old man "Luciano?" the old man bowed before Kyoshi. The younger man looked around nervously "please don't do that in here Luciano. Cut it out" the old man stood straight once more.

"It is great to see you again young master"

"Luciano remember I'm just Kyoshi"

"What are you doing here Kyoshi?"

"Raven"

The old man looked at him curiously coking his head to the side to show his confusion "Lady Raven? What is the matter with her?"

Kyoshi balled his hands in anger "that bastard of a king kidnaped her. She is here and he wants her as his whore" the old man gasped and his eyes widened just a fraction.

"But sire, she is a princess and not to mention she is untouched"

Kyoshi placed his face in his hand "I know. I tried to sneak in here last night but I was caught. I just want to find her and go home, I don't want anything to happen to her if we are to return to our planet soon to claim what is our then I..."

"Kyoshi!" both men turned to see Raven running towards them. He stood up and met her half way lifting her up as he did when she was a child "brother"

"My dear sister. How are you? Has that man done anything to you?" he placed her down and she hugged him.

"No Kyoshi. He has not harmed me or touched me in any demeaning way. I want to go home though" she pulled away to look into the lavender eyes of her old brother.

He stroke her hair "We will get out of this place Raven I promise. Look Luciano is here" she gasped and looked around her brother. Sure enough he was there. She ran to the old man and hugged him tightly.

"My lady I can not breath" Raven blushed and pulled away "I have not seen you in two years my lady, you have grown much since then" she kept blushing.

"Luciano you old bastard, why have you not come to see us?" both men shook their heads. One thing she learned quickly from earth's language was their awful curses and mean names.

"I'm sorry my lady, but the king had me telling stories and cleaning that I did not have time for anything else"

Raven crossed her arms over her chest "you should not be cleaning or telling jokes for that mule. Look why don't you leave with us, let us go back home" Luciano placed a hand on her cheek.

"My child, you and I both know that we must survive that is why I took this job. Now come on lets get you and your brother out of here before the king finds out" The trio walked out of the kitchen and headed towards the direction of the stables. One way or another Kyoshi and his sister would leave that palace.

Inside the Harem it was another story. Kori was cornered by the other women all eager to hear what had happened the night before "come on Kori, who is she? What's she like?"

Kori crossed her legs indian style "she's someone I knew from a long time ago. She's very beautiful and despite the fact that she is only seventeen, she looks more like a woman than most of us. Her name is equally as beautiful"

One girl sat next to kori "so, does this mean that you will not fight for the king. You were his favorite after all"

Kori shook her head "knowing that she is with the king I'm fine with it, besides her brother is one handsome man" the girls ooh and squealed "he is an adonis. Last time I saw him he had long lavender tresses that were kept neatly in a long braid. His eyes were of lavender color as well and his skin was tanned. In the middle of his neck rests a red gem. He is from another planet you know"

The women all sighed in a dream like form "tell us more"

"He is tall perhaps taller now that he is older. His body is nothing but muscle yet not too bulky. He has a deep enthralling voice and lips that beg to be kissed one, two, three times and more. I used to drool looking at him working at the meat stand. What a man" the other girls were hot and their cheeks blushed with lust " I wish to see Kyoshi"

Kyoshi sneezed as he ran. That was strange, Azaraians (hey made that up) rarely sneezed "Someone is talking about you brother" he glared at his laughing sister as they avoided being caught by a passing guard.

"Yeah, I guess you find it amusing?"

She put her hand to her chest in mock hurt "me brother? Of course not. I think I know who might be talking about you though"

"Oh?"

"Kori Anders"

He looked at his sister with confusion "how so? I haven't seen the pretty Kori in what three years"

Raven looked left and right as Luciano ran ahead "she is here in the palace"

"WHAT?" Raven turned around and glared at her brother.

"Great going, now I'm sure someone heard us" he took her hand and they began to run again.

Luciano stopped running to catch his breath "just keep heading north. You'll reach a large door that leads to the garden then to the stables. You can't miss it"

"Luciano you must come with us"

he bowed "I'm sorry my lady I'm too old to be running any more and I can always keep anyone back" she ran up to the old man and hugged him.

"Thank you"

Richard (robin is so much better...I'll call him that from now on) entered his chamber after having a talk with his mother and became enraged. Where the hell was his woman? He walked towards the bathroom then came back out. How long would it take for her to talk with her brother? He allowed her to speak with him, but she was to be back to his chamber as soon as that was done. He looked at the clock in the room "an hour has passed. Raven you better pray I don't lose my patience with you" he walked out and stopped a guard that was walking by "Find the woman and bring her to my chambers"

"Yes sir"

"I will be searching for her as well. I have a feeling she's up to something" with nothing more left to say Robin walked in an opposite direction from the guard.

As he walked down the halls of the palace he came across Terra "Terra where is Raven?" the young woman who was startled looked up at her king.

"Sir, she is in the kitchen with her brother" He didn't bother to ask anything more and continued towards the kitchen. For the first time he hated the palace for being so enormous. Terra curious to know what was going on followed her king. Big mistake.

Raven and Kyoshi found the doors and pushed them opened. They did lead to the garden a massive garden. Raven wanted to admired the flowers and animals that roamed about, but she was in a hurry. Such a shame, she could have loved it there. The stables would be near the gardens.

Robin pushed open the door to the kitchen and looked around "where is she?" Terra peeked over his shoulder on her tip toes "I asked where is she?" the cooks that were getting breakfast ready stopped and bowed to their king "where is the young woman that was here meeting with her brother?"

The cooks looked at each other and one spoke "the kitchen was empty when we arrived here sire. I did not see anyone" the others nodded in confirmation. Robin turned to leave and bumped into Terra. She stepped back nervously.

"Where is she?"

"I left her here with her brother sire. I do not know where she went off to" he took her by the arms roughly.

"And why did you not stay with her?"

She bowed her head "my apologies sire"

"Don't apologize. Go and tell the guards to find the woman" she didn't understand why he was so attached or attracted to the woman. Yeah, she was nice and funny, but what was she offering him anyways?

"Yes sir" she ran as fast as she could towards the guards' station. Robin punched a wall.

"Why do I care so much about you Raven? You are nothing but troublesome and yet I have this need to have you near and protect you. But mark my words you will pay for defying my orders".

He sat in his bed when the doors where thrown open. Two guards and Stone walked into the room carrying Raven. Robin stood and she was set on her feet. She instantly crossed her arms over her chest "and where were you my dear?"

She huffed in annoyance as he walked up to her "you may leave" the guards grinned. This time the little lady was going to get it. He circled her seeing the mud on her dress "are you going to just stand there and not talk to me"

"that's the idea genius" he was itching to slap her or something, but women were not to be hit unless he was really provoked.

"Interesting. The more I try to limit your ways the more you defy me. I had a horse like you once, I must say in no time I broke him in" she snapped her head to the right where he was standing and he was rewarded with a cold murderous look. He was almost intimidated.

"Now you are comparing me to a horse? All I want is to be free. I want to return to my home with my brother and I want to be as far away from you as possible"

"Have I wrong you in any way that you hate me so? I mean, if I personally did something to you like kill your parents or something then tell me and I will understand your hatred towards me"

"Just like you don't want to talk about your mother I suggest you don't talk about my parents" she wiped a tear that ran down her cheek. Wether for remembering her parents or from anger she did not know, nor did he.

In one swift movement he had her in his arms and she tried to pull away "stay still woman. I merely want to make you feel better"

"You can start by keeping your distance. You know you sure like to cuddle too much"

Robin kissed her cheek "not really, but with you it's a different story"

"If I'm to stay here then I have a few request" he let her go and sat down on a chair.

"Oh, now you have requests?"

"Would you like me to try and escape. Maybe this time your guards wont find me" he patted his laps "what?"

"Sit here and I will consider your requests" she sat on the chair in front of him. Robin not liking her ignorance of his own request stood up and walked over to her pulling off the chair and sitting down bringing her to sit on his laps as it was intended from the beginning "now that this is settled" raven groaned but sat anyways "what is it that my dear lady requests?"

"Since I'm not leaving I would like for my brother to stay here. He can be of help to you and the palace"

"Okay consider it done"

she blinked "really?"

"Yes. I mean you are after all going to be here for a long time"

yeah keep thinking that your highness. I'm no body's whore not even yours. She brushed her hair away from her face "and I would like to be in my own spare room. I don't care if it's with the cooks or the maids" he maneuvered her so that she was straddling his legs.

"That my dear will be denied. You will not leave this room or my bed. Understood?"

Can't say that I didn't try. Now I have to come up with a way to keep him away at night. He surely will want to have sex with me. I will not allow that. "Alright fair enough" she lifted from him and walked over to the bed and laid down. She was not going to argue with him yet. She would have to talk to Luciano and get him to bring her something to put the king to sleep at night right away.

Robin walked over to the bed and sat down "I'm leaving for a few hours. Try not to escape this time"

Raven sat up "why are you telling me? It's not like I'm your wife. I didn't know kings held their whore in such high standards"

"You are really annoying me Raven. I don't understand why I even bother" with that he walked out of the room. Before closing the door he turned to her "oh, there are two guards right outside this door. There is no way for you to escape. I'll be back soon" he closed it.

Raven took the pillow and brought it to her face screaming into it very loudly. Outside in the hallway Robin laughed.

A/n..ooh a romance between Kori and kyoshi? well, well, well who would have guessed it. These two characters found themselves in my story. I was never planning on having Kori and Kyoshi have a sort of thing going on, but it just sort of wrote itself in there. What should be the next course of action? let me know if you like this chapter. As i always ask, if it sucks i can take it down and do something else, but then that would delay the updates. Just let me know. LAter
