Nov. 20, 1748. Sun rise:

As Tk lay in bed asleep his dreams were of her, Kari's face flew through his mind almost constantly since ha had met her. Tk opened his eyes and yawned. "Man why did she have to be so beautiful?" He asked him self as he sat up. "Well that doesn't matter right now." He looked out the window. "I have to get to the musketeer headquarters."

~*~

Tk turned the corner of the wall that surrounded musketeer headquarters and walked along its side, as he came up to the gate he noticed it was already open, though he thought this weird he just walked in, he walked up the stairs and up to the door to the main hall, the door was like the gate, he knew this wasn't right. "Hello, is anyone here?" Tk said as he walked in. He thought he could here a faint moaning inside. "Hello, commander Kamiya, Sir, is that you?"

"Boy... over here." A voice came from a shadowed area near where Tk stood.

"Kamiya, sir what happened here?" Tk asked as he pulled Kamiya up and help him to a chair.

"They took Hikari." He said in pain.

"What? Who, who took Kari?" Tk asked as he noticed the state of the hall.

"They work for the duke of..." Kamiya's words trailed off as he seemed to pass out.

"Kamiya, don't you dare pass out or die on me, Kari would never forgive if I let you do the latter." Tk shook Kamiya slightly.

Kamiya lifted his hand and held out a piece of paper.

Tk took the paper and opened it. `Commander Kamiya, as leader of the musketeers I am sure you will understand what I say in this letter, I want you to give me your daughter so that she may marry my son, if you decline I will take her by force and your king will suffer instead of you.' "An odd letter to say the least but who is it from?" Tk asked looking it over.

Kamiya held up his hand, in it was the envelope the letter had come in.

"Wait this symbol belongs to a Duke." Tk exclaimed.

"Yes but not just any Duke, one of the most powerful Dukes around." Kamiya sat up a bit. "Buckingham has nothing on this guy, his name is Willis."

"Where are they taking Kari?" Tk asked in enraged.

"England." Was all that Kamiya said.

"Then that is where I'm going. Tell me, how long ago did they leave?"

"An hour tops." Kamiya looked at him. "Get my daughter back for me and I will give you anything you want."

"I will ask nothing of you bet to let me ask what I will of her." Tk said as he walked to the door of the hall.

"And what does that mean?" Kamiya asked.

"You will see old man, you will see." With that Tk ran out of the building as fast as he could. He ran down the steps and out the gate, he looked around and saw a near by stable. Running in to the stable he looked at its keep and signaled him over. "I need the fastest horse you got."

"Fat chance you could afford him." The stable keeper said looking the boy over.

"I said I need the fast horse you've got." Tk said putting a large bag on the table.

"Right this way, sir." The stable keeper said walking back into the stable. "I think I should warn you, this horse is our fastest, but he also has never let anyone ride him."

"Do you know why?"

"No, he will let us get him ready for a rider but he won't let anyone get on."

"Good his spirit hasn't been broken."

"Well no, but he has never been ridden."

"Is he ready to go?"

"No he has no saddle."

"Well then we will leave that off." Tk said smiling.

"But sir, I doubt if that will help."

"We will see."

"Ok here he is, now are you sure about this?"

"Yes, I am sure, now if you would be so kind as to open the gates." Tk said walking up to the horse. "Easy boy, I'm not going to hurt you, I just need your help, this is a matter of honor."

The horse reared up and backed away,

"Ok, I won't force you." Tk said turning his back.

The stable keep didn't know what was going on, he just knew it was something he had never seen.

The horse looked at Tk as it moved around him, no matter which way the horse went Tk kept his back to him, the horse finally walked up to Tk from behind, and placed its head against his shoulder.

"Good, now I'm not that bad a gut am I?" Tk asked moving to the side to the beast. "Now how about we go save someone?" Tk then got on the horse bareback.

The horse bucked a little, but didn't fight it for long, Tk then tapped the horse on its sides with his boots, and it went in to a gallop, Tk rode to the north-west, the horse kept a steady pace and it seemed to have little trouble doing so, as he left town Tk once more tapped the horses sides with the heels of his boots, this sent the horse into an all out run, as the flew past points it would take most horses a minute or two to reach Tk knew he would catch up to who ever it was that had taken Kari, as he rode as hard as he could Tk thought to him self. "I do this for my honor, because I gave my word I word save her, for my destiny because I am meant to be with her, and for her because she deserves to make her own choices." "Come on boy, let's get those fools." He yelled.

45 Minutes later:

Tk continued to ride as hard as he could, as he rounded a curve on a wooded path he saw a carriage ahead of him. "That's gotta be them." he thought to him self. He rode up along side the carriage and looked in to the window, he saw Kari laying there unconscious, this made him mad, but he rode by the carriage and past another bend in the road. He sent the horse ahead and stayed there, he hid as the carriage approached, as it went by he jumped on the back and climbed up on to the top of it, he quietly made his way forward and drew his blade, "Take the women I love will you?" Said quietly before stabbing his sword through him, the driver didn't make a sound as he slumped over, Tk hopped in to the seat pushed the driver's body off the carriage and drove the carriage a little way further.

The carriage came to a stop, the boy sitting in side staring at Kari and grinning soon began to frown. "Why have we stopped driver?" The boy asked getting out of the carriage. "And it better be a good reason, or I will have your head when we get back to the castle."

"Oh it is a good reason, but it won't be one you like." Tk said smiling.

"Who are you!?" The boy asked in shock.

"I am your worst nightmare, that's what."

"You are also about to die." The boy said as he drew hi sword. "My name is Willis Jr., I am son of Duke Willis, and I will not have anyone disrupt my trip."

"What is your hurry, stick around and have a little fun." Tk said stepping down and drawing his sword.

"Well I guess I could delay my wedding for a few minutes, which is all it should take to kill a thief like you."

Tk drew back his blade, as did Willis, Tk like before let his enemy make the first move, Willis rushed in and attacked slashing downward, Tk blocked this, Willis then slashed upward, Tk dodged this attack and shifted his sword slightly but not enough for Willis to notice, Tk landed and smiled, Willis looked at him and said. "What are you grinning about you did exactly what I wanted you to do." Willis's sword hit Tk's dead center and sent it off to the side, Willis then rushed in and tried to grab hold of Tk, but Tk had known what Willis was planning, Willis got behind Tk, and Tk turned fast pushing his blade in to Willis's gut. "Agh, how can this be? How could I be defeated by a thief?"

"You were defeated because you judged me on my appearance Willis." Tk said pulling his sword from the boys gut. "And because you messed with the wrong girl."

"You have no clue what you've just done, my father will get revenge for my death, I swear it." Willis fell to the ground and his eyes slowly closed, he was dead.

"Good bye Willis, old friend." Tk said as a tear fell from his eye. "I will see to it that you are given a proper grave." He then picked up Willis's body and walked in to the woods with it.

30 Minutes later:

Tk came back out of the woods and walked up to the carriage, he opened the door and looked inside, Kari was still there asleep, Tk got in the carriage. "Kari wake-up, come on Kari wake-up." He said shaking her slightly.

"My head what happened." Kari groaned as she sat up. "Huh, where am I?" She asked looking around.

"Some where between Paris, France and who knows where." Tk answered with a smile.

"Tk!" Kari said happily as she wrapped her arms around him. "Tk you have no idea how happy I am to see you." She said as she began to cry. "I-I thought that I was going to have to marry him, that jerk gave me no choice but to come with him, he said that he would kill my father if I didn't."

"It's ok Kari, I'm here now." Tk said rubbing the back of her head. "I won't let anything else happen to you, I promise."

"Oh Tk, you are so sweet, but what will happen now?" Kari asked drying her tears.

"I don't know Kari, but what ever it is, we will deal with it together."

"Tk, what happened to the guy that was in here?" Kari asked looking into Tk's eyes.

"He is..." Tk trailed.

"Good, I'm glad, he got what he disserved." Kari said crossing her arms.

"Ok Kari, if you say so, come on we need to get going." Tk said stepping out of the carriage, followed by Kari.

"How are we going to get back?" Kari asked looking around.

Tk put his fingers to his mouth and whistled, and the horse he had ridden up there on came running around the corner. "We ride back." Tk answered. He then walked over to the front of the carriage and unhooked the horse that had been pulling it, he walked up to Kari with one of the horses following, it had a saddle and was ready to go already.

"Well that's handy." Kari said as she looked at the horse.

"Ok let's get going." Tk said getting on the horse he had bought earlier that day.

"We're going home right?" Kari asked.

"Of course, but it is a good two hour ride at least." Tk said as he began to trot off.

"So we will have time to talk." Kari said staying beside him.
