Chapter 6 : Started with Love
"My.. my father was killed?" Mikan whispered so soft that Ioran nearly can't hear it.
Ioran smiled sadly. "Yes child. He is indeed being killed. But your father died as a hero. He protect his family."
Mikan bit her lower lip and clench her fist. "They dare to do that." She said, her hazel eyes burning with rage. "I will kill them for sure. Please tell me uncle, who dared to do such a cruel thing like that?"
Ioran put a calming hand on Mikan's shoulder. "Patience, child. You can do the revenge later."
Mikan sigh slowly, trying to calm down her emotion turbulence. "How about my mother? She vanished right? So she must be alive somewhere uncle." She change the topic, trying to distract her own mind.
Ioran shook his head. "I don't know. I have said that I don't want to give you false hope regarding the other's live. You should find out by yourself about that."
Mikan look dissapointed, and Ioran feel guilty seeing her down like that, so he tried to cheer her up. "Don't worry, child. Everything will be revealed to you in time. Now why don't you hear the story from the other side?"
Mikan let out another sigh and look up at her newfound uncle who has a gentle expression on his face. "The other side?" She echoed in the same soft voice.
Ioran nodded, another sad smile grace his lips. "Yes, from my side."
"Hello there, nice to meet you." A young Ioran bowed deeply in front of a beautiful woman who stood in a perfect posture as a smile flitted on her full lips.
In return, the woman gracefully give a swift bow, resulting clear amazement on both of Ioran's dark green eyes.
Seeing Ioran's expression, the woman chuckled happily, her crimson eyes look bright and twinkling with happiness. "It's nice to meet you too, Hyuuga-san. It's a rare thing to see such a noble man from Black Tribe to come to our house."
Ioran shook his head. "It's because of your beauty has spread around the village. Everybody want to court you." He said with a charming smile.
Kaoru let out another chuckle. "Without trying, I think you have peak my interest."
Ioran laughed. "Really?"
Kaoru slowly nodded. "Do you want to go inside?"
"With pleasure," replied Ioran, giving out another deep bow.
"Ioran, please meet my bestfriend, Yuka Azumi." Kaoru gestured to a beautiful woman who is standing right beside her with a calm smile.
Ioran's eyes widen. "Yuka Azumi? Your highness?"
Yuka laughed. "Yes, and please just call me Yuka. I would be really appreciate it if you call me that."
"B-but are you sure?" Ioran stammered, confuse as to why his 1 year girlfriend could be friend with one of the royals.
"Of course. Why not?" Yuka smiled at him kindly. "Why don't we go inside now to have some tea, Kaoru?" Yuka said again, turning away from the shocked looking Ioran.
"Come on dear, don't make such a stupid face." Kaoru gently said, hitting Ioran on the head, while opening the door and letting Yuka go inside the house.
"Ouch. That hurt, Kaoru!" Ioran winced, rubbing his sore head.
Kaoru casted a scary glance to his way, which make Ioran shut his mouth quickly and choose to follow Kaoru without making any sound.
"She is beautiful, isn't she?" Kaoru whispered to her husband who sat right beside her wearing a black tuxedo with a white flower on his breast pocket.
Ioran cast a look at the groom and bride who smiled happily to each other, one has a bright hazel eyes while the other has a calm looking cobalt eyes. Both of them stared into each other eyes with love, no doubt about it.
"She is. No one can deny the stunning appereance of the Alice Land's Princess." Ioran replied with a gentle voice. "But you are still more beautiful than her." He added in a softer voice, giving his wife a sweet peck on the cheek.
Kaoru blushed. Automatically, she hit her husband's shoulder none too gently. But since this is a holy matrimony, Ioran didn't dare to make any sound, instead, he just gave an annoyed look towards his grinning wife.
Ioran sigh and smiled at her. "It's true you know. I don't lie."
"Stupid Ioran." Kaoru mumbled, not looking at Ioran anymore.
Ioran just chuckled lightly and cast his eyes back to the altar.
"Kaoru, can you promise me that you will take care of my child if anything happen to me or Izumi?" Yuka softly ask, her arms cradling a little baby with love.
Kaoru frowned, as she too, cradling a baby girl in her arms. "You aren't going anywhere soon, Yuka. Mikan still needs you."
Yuka smiled, poking the chubby cheek of her baby. "I know, but the castle has been in chaos since I left them. I know something bound to happen someday. I just have this gut feeling, and my gut feeling never wrong."
Kaoru stay silent, didn't try to say anything since she know that Yuka's feeling always spot on. She has experience it many times, and first hand.
"I know Aoi would like to have another girl to play, and they are at the same age too." Yuka added, looking at the sleeping baby girl on her bestfriend's arms.
Kaoru chuckled softly. "Of course you would say something like that. Typical Yuka."
Yuka arched her eyebrow. "What?"
Kaoru shook her head. "No, nothing. I just don't like it when you say something like that. It feels like you are going really soon."
Yuka laughed. "No. I won't be going anywhere soon. Perhaps someday, but not now. My bestfriend still need me." She said teasingly, elbowing Kaoru's upper arm.
Kaoru rolled her eyes and cast a small smile to the princess. "Yeah, sure I do."
"Kaoru." Yuka's voice is shaking, and Kaoru knows that there are something really wrong.
"What is it, Yuka? Tell me, quick." Kaoru urged her bestfriend, feeling bad.
Yuka took a shaky breath. "Izumi was killed."
Kaoru's eyes widen as her hand covered her mouth. She was silent for a moment, before finally said in a shock voice. "W-what? Are you sure? What happened?"
Yuka sighed. She sounds like she is trying to control herself. "The guards attacked. They want Mikan. Izumi protect us, but he got killed instead."
"How about the guards?"
"They are all killed by me. Izumi doesn't want to hurt them, Kaoru!" Yuka half screamed now, she sounded hysterical and angry at the same time. "It's because of that he gets killed!"
"Shhh Yuka. Everything going to be fine. Please, calm yourself down. Where are you now? I will make sure that you will find a good hiding place."
Yuka took another shaky breath. "I'm still at home right now. I.. I don't know if the king would send another guards for me."
"Relax Yuka. I will come for you. Don't worry."
Mikan look at the sad expression Ioran has. His eyes showing so much pain that Mikan has to look away from him.
"She doesn't come back after that." Ioran whispered softly, his voice sounded far away.
Mikan bit her lower lip. "You don't come with your wife, uncle?"
Ioran shook his head. "She said that someone has to take care for both of our children, and she really want to see how's Yuka doing, so she choose to go instead of me, since its her bestfriend we are talking about."
"Do you know what happen?" Mikan carefully ask.
Ioran gave out a rueful smile. "If only I could. I really want to. The only thing I know is that Kaoru being killed when protecting Yuka from the guards."
Mikan stay silent for a moment, since she really doesn't know what to say.
"It's okay, child. Ask if you want to, I tell you this story for you." Ioran gently said.
Mikan fiddled with her fingers. "I.. I want to know, is that the reason why your son hate me so much?"
Ioran slowly nodded. "Yes. He blamed you fully on the death of his mother. To be exact blaming Yuka, but you are still her child. That's what his thought are." Ioran shook his head, looking disappointed. "He hates the White Tribe too, so much. Since its the guards from the kingdom who killed Kaoru. He has no respect for the king, I still remember that time when he said that the King is suppose to be the wisest one since he is the one who ruled Alice Land."
"Do you?"
"What do you mean child? Are you asking me about my feeling towards you?"
Mikan slowly nodded. "Towards me, mother, and the past king."
Ioran smiled. "I know my wife make a right choice, and I trust her fully without any doubt. I don't have any hard feelings towards all of you. Even the king isn't a perfect one, everybody know that."
A small smiled bloom slowly on Mikan's lips. "Thank you uncle. Thank you so much."
"Mikan, how are you? Did you have a good sleep last night?" Ioran ask with a fatherly tone while putting down a glass of hot tea in front of Mikan.
Mikan look up, giving out a thank you smile and quickly taking a sip of her tea.
Hmm. It felt good to her freezing body.
"Actually no." Mikan said sheepishly. "The weather is kind of cold, and my mind just couldn't stop thinking about all the things we have talked about yesterday."
Ioran chuckled. "Take it slowly, child. Stress would do you no good."
Mikan nodded, taking another sip on her hot tea. Hmm. It felt really good. "Yes, Uncle."
"Good." Ioran replied, smiling softly.
"Father? Who is this?" A bell-like voice is ringing through the air.
A girl with shoulder length raven hair which looks like a black waterfall look towards Mikan with curious crimson eyes which rimmed with thick and long eyelashes.
"Ah, come here dear. Let me introduce you to your mother's bestfriend's daughter." Ioran called while making some gesture.
The girl walk gracefully as her dress flowed lightly behind her.
"Is this your daughter?" Mikan softly ask, her eyes looking straight into the crimson orbs which looking at her intently.
"Yes, please introduce yourself dear." Ioran said, smiling.
A beautiful smile bloom on the girl's lips as she give a swift bow, just like her mother was. "Hello there, I am Aoi Hyuuga. It's really nice to meet you."
