"Your job is to watch over Her Majesty during her stay," Izana told Kana after Zen left.
"Eh? But Her Majesty already has body guards," said confused Kana.
"But I need a look out. Just to make sure nothing happens. Will you do that for me, Kana?" Izana asked.
"Y-Yes, your highness," she replied,, bowing her head.
"Good. Get yourself ready. She'll be here soon."
Zen returned alone, causing Obi to wonder where Kana was. He then remembered that she was given a task so they might not see herfor awhile. He wondered himself why he couldn't bring himself to talk to her the past couple weeks. It was unbearable silence between the two of them.
"Obi!"
"Yes Master?"
"I'd like you to escort Shirayuki while she shows Prince Raji around during the coronation ceremony," ordered Zen.
"As you wish, Master."
Coronation Day...
"Mistress!"
"Ah! Obi! You look nice today," complimented Shirayuki.
Obi grinned.
"Thanks. I was forced to wear it. You look beautiful in that dress, Mistress."
"Th-Thank you!"
The two of them headed to the entrance of the castle to greet Prince Raji and his advisor, Sakaki. The young prince stared at them in surprise.
"Sh-Shirayuki?!"
"Hello Prince Raji!" Shirayuki greeted. "We came to show you around!"
"Y-You?"
"Is that a problem?"
"Well I was told that there would be someone to show me around, but I didn't think it would be you..."
"You are happy," mumbled Sakaki.
"Sh-Shut up!" Raji exclaimed.
"This is gonna be long..." Obi sighed.
"Ah! It's Her Majesty!" someone yelled, catching Obi's attention.
His eyes widened when he noticed Kana standing by Her Majesty's side. He was even more surprised to see Shuuto behind her.
"Ah! It's Kana-san!" Shirayuki exclaimed.
Kana heard her calling out her name and turned towards them. Shirayuki and Obi waved, but as Kana was on duty, she merely nodded her head.
"Looks like she's busy," smiled Shirayuki.
"Working for the Queen..." gaped Raji.
"Shall we head to the Coronation Hall, Prince Raji?" asked the red head.
"Yes of course."
Obi led the way to the hall. He escorted Shirayuki inside with Prince Raji and then left to join the rest of the aides. He stood beside Mitsuhide, his eyes wandering, hoping he could spot Kana. In the corner of his eye, he noticed jet black hair pass by him.
Obi quickly turned his head to find her in a stunning maroon colored dress and her hair curled loosely, flowing down her back. He gaped at Kana. The young woman looked so beautiful. To his dismay, Shuuto was by her side, the two of them quietly conversing while she was waiting for the ceremony.
"How come Kana's all dressed up?" Obi whispered to Mitsuhide.
"Hm? Not sure," the older man replied, glancing at Kana. "Her Majesty may have wanted her to dress up since she's of nobility."
"Huh."
Guards made their announcements and Zen appeared in royal clothing. He waited for Izana to appear and the ceremony began as words were said and then Zen placed the crown upon his brother's head.
After the ceremony, Obi escorted Shirayuki out of the hall and to a balcony as they waited for Zen and the others. Shirayuki perked up when she thought she heard a noise and picked up a piece of jewelry that had fallen to the ground.
"Ah," pointed out Obi.
The two of them looked up to find Zen and his aides staring down at them. The group met up with each other, Zen and Shirayuki gazing at each other with loving eyes.
"The dress looks beautiful on you Shirayuki," smiled Kiki.
The red head blushed.
"You look beautiful too, Kiki-san!"
Obi sweatdropped.
"But she's wearing the same outfit as Mister Mitsuhide and I..."
"Ah! Kana-san looks beautiful too!" Shirayuki exclaimed as she saw her approaching them.
"Hm? Oh hello," Kana greeted as she got closer.
"Good work," grinned Zen.
"I didn't do anything..." Kana mumbled. "All she wanted me to do was dress up."
Zen laughed.
"That's my mother for you!"
Kana smiled slightly and then met gazed with Obi. He was sincerely smiling at her, his eyes looking quite happy. Kana felt herself blushing under his stare.
"You look stunning, Kana," Obi piped up.
Mitsuhide and Zen looked at him in astonishment. Where does this guy get the guts to compliment girls?!
"Th-Thanks..." Kana replied, avoiding his eyes. "I'm sorry I can't stay, Shuu and I have things to do-"
"Ah Kana wait!" Zen called out before she could leave.
"Hm?"
"Are you busy tonight?"
"No I don't think so?"
"We're having a small little party. Will you join us?"
Kana smiled.
"Of course! I'll see you all then!"
Kana and Shuuto disappeared down the hall, Obi's eyes following her until she turned a corner. He let out a sigh. Why couldn't he escort her as a Lady once in awhile?
That night...
"Excuse me?" Kana asked as she opened the door.
The group was gathered on the floor, talking, eating, and drinking.
"Yo! Kana!" Zen greeted. "Come join us!"
The girl sat beside Mitsuhide and joined in the festivities.
"Drink some more, Mistress!" Obi offered, pouring more wine into Shirayuki's cup.
"O-Oy! Are you trying to get her drunk?" Zen growled.
Next thing Kana knew, Shirayuki had fallen asleep.
"I guess Mistress still can't handle her alcohol," laughed Obi.
Zen suddenly stood up and sat on the other side of Shirayuki.
"What's up, Zen?" Kana wondered.
"I'm protecting her," he muttered.
"Are you drunk, Master?" Obi chuckled.
A couple hours passed and Obi, Zen, and Shirayuki were all asleep. Obi had fallen asleep next to the red head and Zen freaked out and decided to sleep on top of Obi's leg.
"They are such a strange trio," mumbled Kiki.
"Well, it's normal for them now," Mitsuhide chuckled.
"It's a love triangle," Kana added, staring at Obi. "Though Obi got the short end of the straw."
"Eh?" Mitsuhide wondered, confused.
"He doesn't seem to mind much," replied Kiki.
Kana yawned.
"I guess not..."
An hour more passed when Obi slowly opened his eyes. He glanced around and felt a heavy weight on his leg.
"Master... You're heavy..." he mumbled.
He then looked down to find Shirayuki laying next to him, her hand extended towards his. Not wanting to move his hand, he smiled and turned his head. Obi noticed Mitsuhide reading a book as he leaned against the wall. Next to the older man was Kana's sleeping figure, her head resting peacefully on his shoulder.
"Mister, you're not going to bed yet?" Obi asked, staring at Kana's figure.
"Hm? No not yet," Mitsuhide replied.
"Oh, I've never seen Miss Kiki asleep before," pointed out Obi.
"She won't even try to lay down," sighed Mitsuhide.
"I'm awake," muttered Kiki, catching the two men by surprise.
"Master sure is heavy..."
"Zen freaked out when you fell asleep next to Shirayuki," explained Kiki.
"Oh my," chuckled Obi.
He stared at his Master and Mistress and then at Kana. Carefully, he placed Zen next to Shirayuki and then crouched down next to the raven-haired woman.
"May I?" Obi asked Mitsuhide, pointing at Kana.
"Go ahead," Mitsuhide smiled.
Obi carefully picked her up and laid her down a few feet away from Shirayuki. He then laid down beside her , wrapping his arm around Kana's waist. Mitsuhide and Kiki exchanged looks and then smiled. Obi cared more about Kana than he really showed.
And cute!
