...Morning...
Yun's P. O. V:
Mon had us up in the morning. "Someone go look for Yuzuki, we need to get the horses ready." Mon said. Then we heard a knock on the door. Then it open to see Yuzuki standing there with leaves in her hair. 'Where have you been?' was written on our faces. She looked up and let out a yawn. "Yuzuki we are leaving soon." Mon said. She nodded. We left our head quarters to head to the royal family's stables. We began loading some of our suppliers on our horses. I looked over to see Yuzuki pat one of the horses, he was a dark brown fur and a dark mane like the earths soil. He looked at her with large brown eyes. Then the master star reader came over followed by four attendants. We bow. "Are you all ready to go?" The Master Star Reader said. We nodded our head and as Shuga appeared. He was grabbing a horse. Yuzuki return and began preparing her horse for the long journey ahead of us. The royal family was in their carriage, soldiers began opening the gates and soldiers surround the carriage as it began moving at a slow pace, and the steps of the soldiers footsteps could be heard along with bells... I got onto my horse, and everyone began slowly riding the horse. When we were a yard away the gate to the Yogo Palace began to close and all we could hear the hinges of the gate squeak and then a soft thud letting us know that the main gates to the palace closed... I look up to see a Naaji bird above us against the blue sky... 'This is going to be a long journey.' I thought to myself as stared before us.
... 3 Hours Later...
The sun was going down, changing the sky orange, gold, and pink. We were almost to the Royal Family's summer home. My eyes sharpen as a speeding object was heading straight to the Crown Prince carriage. The tip flashed. I realize it was an arrow. In a quick movement, I unsheathed my sword ready to defend the royal family.
Hyoko's P. O. V:
My ears pricked up, I stared straight in front of me to see an arrow coming towards the Crown Prince Chagum's carriage. I unsheathed my sword and leaped from my horse into the air and cut the arrow away from the carriage. Everybody stopped. the soldiers had there weapons ready. Then another arrow was release this time it wasn't aiming for the Crown Prince, but at Yuzuki. It was an inch away from her eye, she quickly caught it with her fingers. She looked around trying to calculate where the arrows were coming from. I listen with the others. Nothing of human could be heard except for our breathing. I could hear the sounds of animals. Yuzuki was examining the arrow. "Who ever attacked us is gone now." Mon said, as he watch the treeline. "Or the person is watching us from somewhere in the trees." Yuzuki said. I nodded in agreement. "We should probably get moving." Mon said. "Yes sir." I said in unison with the rest of the secret elite warriors. I walked over my horse. It's warm brown eyes were now calm. I patted it and then got onto my horse's back. The soldiers got back into formation and began slowly marching again. I continued to look around my surrounding, straining my hearing and keeping my eyes on the tree lines trying to figure out what direction did the arrow came from... But I could only hear the low mumbles of the soldiers, the horse footsteps, the soldiers marching, the bells jingling, and the night noises... The clouds moved out of the moons direction, causing the landscaper to brighten. But it looked brighter, I shift my gaze upwards, my grey hair moving in my eyes but enough to let me see, I place my hand and brush my hair to the side. There was a double moon in the sky...
Normal P. O. V:
In the shadow of a tree, hidden by vines and the purple fruit known as, akebia quinata fruit, the shadowy figure had a big grin plastered on his face... As he watch the royal family and soldiers, oh his back was a bow and arrows. His eyes widen as he notice a soldier on a horse with a scar across his nose looking towards the tree, but he wasn't fast enough the shadowy figure quickly hid. He stayed hidden as the soldiers and the royal family is now in the distance. "Fraze one done." The shadowy figure thought to himself as he leap from the tree and onto to the forest floor. He quietly began walking deeper and deeper into the woods, until all of the shadows swallowed him as he walked away and still had that big grin over his face. He only walked for a couple of minutes when he came to a clearing. A group of 20 figures wearing hooded cloaks around themselves. A man sitting on a high branch was their leader, the young man kneel down and bowed his head. "Ryuu did you do what I told you?" The mysterious leader said. His face hidden in the trees shadows. "Yes!" Ryuu said to the leader. The leader smiled, "Good job, now to continued. Now take the rest of the troops with you, we will attack the royal family at their summer home, now go." The shadowy figure commanded Ryuu. "Yes sir." Ryuu shouted. The hooded cloaked figures threw off their cloaks and began following Ryuu, who was silently walking in the forest towards the royal family's summer home. Their leader watch them until the shadows shallower them all... Their leader continued to smile, he was thinking about his soon to be victory...
Yuzuki's P. O. V:
As I rode my horse, I conginued to studied the arrow. It was long and thin, the it was light and easy to carry for long distances. 'It's probably handmade too.' I thought to myself. I could hear the mumbles of soldiers. "Where do you think that arrow came from?" A guard mumbled to his neighbors. I let out a sigh. "Yuzuki what's you're opinion?" Mon asked me. "Well the arrow is long and thin, it's also lighter than a the usual arrows, and it can go father distances. I also believe it is hand made too." I said. They stared at me. "You learned all that from studying the arrow just in three minutes." Jin asked me, his brown eyes staring at me. "Yes I am positive, also you can tell it is handmade, they messed up a little bit on attaching the arrow head to the arrow." I said as I pointed to the top of the arrow, there were scrap marks. Suddenly we heard screaming and shouting. I jumped off the horse and headed towards the direction of the scream along with the other secret elite warriors. We arrive to the summer home to see the Ox acting crazy... I saw something shiny glowing in the moons light. I ran over closer to see what it was. Guards were shouting ands trying to get the Ox under control... I could tell it was the Second Queens carriage. "If this continues the carriage will tip over and injure the Second Queen. We must cut the rope that the is attached to the Ox that makes the carriage move." I thought to myself. " MON! We need to cut the rope that is attached to the carriage, the carriage will tip over!" I shouted over to Mon. I ran towards the Ox and jumped onto it's back, the Ox began to act more crazy, it was lifting it's front feet into the air. I carefully unsheathed my sword, and began cutting the ropes off on by one. Jin and Mon was taking care of the ropes that were attached to the carriage...
Normal P. O. V:
Without even knowing it, the secret elite warriors were being watched from the trees, only a meter away. "How long do we have to wait. This is starting to get boring..." A young boy said, he had dark brown hair that was cut short and it was spiky. Ryuu let out a long sigh. "We cannot attack now, we are just playing with them by playing mind games with them. I find it really amusing that they cannot figure out where we are. Isn't that right Ryuu?" Another young boy said. His hair was black that was straight. "Akio we have to be patient then we strike and Eiji you're right but also we are following our orders from are great leader." Ryuu said as he stared straight ahead. He too really wanted to fight right there and then but he couldn't disobey their leader, or their leader would have his head or the enemy would have his head. He watch as the secret elite warriors just saved the Second Queen, he grid his teeth a little bit. He watch Yuzuki took something out of the Ox's rear. "Ohh she is really pretty like the moon." Akio said. Causing Ryuu to let out a long sigh. "Akio your job is not to flirt with the enemy, your job is to kick the royal family out of the way so our great leader can become the Emperor of New Yogo." Ryuu said in a harsh whisper. Causing Akio to pout. 'This is going to be a long night.' Ryuu thought to himself as he let out a long sigh.
