Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Sir Yuki's Story ❯ Finally... something adveturous and romance... ( Chapter 3 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Sir Yuki was relieved he was able to get out of the room in one piece. As he walked down the hall, he came to a door that led to the garden. He opened it to see a wondrous sight. He saw green trees that stood tall, and colorful flowers that filled the bushes. Sir Yuki walked on the path that makes a circle around the garden. Then from a nearby fountain, he heard singing. Yes, it was indeed Lady Tohru. Sir Yuki just stood there and listened to it for some time, but then all of a sudden, a terrible thing happened.
"My stomach hurts. I think I need to go to the bathroom," Sir Yuki's stomach seemed as it didn't like the berries he ate awhile ago and so, Sir Yuki had diarrhea. But another horrible thing happened. While Sir Yuki was in the bathroom, a dragon has came and captured some ladies from the palace. When Sir Yuki got out of the bathroom, he saw a whole new place.
The palace was burnt and broken in parts. Some of the paintings on the walls were torn and crashed. The vases were broken on the floor, the flowers scattered all over the place, and Sir Kyo was on the floor.
"Oh my god," said Sir Yuki and he ran towards the king's room, stepping and not noticing Sir Kyo. Sir Yuki slammed the door open to the king's room, and gave a sigh of relief. The king and princess were safe, and sleeping. It seems that they have not noticed the racket outside. After he shut the door, Sir Yuki ran to the knights that were talking.
"What happened?" Sir Yuki asked the knights.
"What? You mean you don't know? Well just awhile ago, a dragon came and started attacking the palace," said one knight.
"Did anyone get hurt?"
"Well some of the ladies have been captured and Sir Kyo is missing."
"The ladies? Who would of done such a thing," said Sir Yuki and thought for awhile.
"I think the dragon came from Samalote," said a person.
"!!!" Everyone was surprised.
"How is everyone?" it was a knight from the Knights of the Round Table,.
"
Everything is okay Sir." Everyone kneeled in front of him.
"Good, not I will give one of you an important task. We decided to defeat the evil wicked witch, Hanajima, and bring the ladies back to the palace, and bring peace to the kingdom. Well all thought Sir Yuki woulf be appropriate for this task. You will tae it, won't you Sit Yuki?"
"Yes Sir," Sir Yuki replied. As soon as he was dismissed, he had packed his bags and got his horse ready so he could start the job.
"Good luck to you" King Shigure, who was now awake, said and everyone at the castle waved at him.
"Hey what ever happened to Sir Kyo?" asked a knight, but it seemed as if that question was not important. No one answered it.
It took only an hour or so to get to the withch's castle. The witch's castle had dead leaves and vines all over the place and the flowers were dried up as if they were never watered for years. Sir Yuki galloped into the castle's entrance as quietly as he could. There inside he saw something that appears to be scratch marks made by a huge creature. Sir Yuki thought that this might be the dragon's scratch marks of when he landed. Sir Yuki got off his horse and went into the castle by a door that had a sign saying, 'Welcome' on it. He went up stoned stairs until he reached an enormous door. He pushed the door open and inside the room, the witch was sitting on a chair looking out the window. All of a sudden she started to speak.
"Oh my, haven't a gentleman like you ever heard of knocking the door before you come in?" the witch said as she drank some tea from a little cup.
"Where did you take the ladies?" said Sir Yuki, as he got closer to the witch.
"Oh don't worry, they're not dead, yet" and the witch laughed.
"They will not die! I am here to save them!"
"Well then, here's the key to the dungeon," said the witch as she threw him the key. Sir Yuki went to the dungeon, which was quite easy to find since the ladies were screaming for help, and he opened the dungeon doors. He let the ladies out one by one. In the group of ladies, he saw Lady Tohru. Sir Yuki was going to say something, but he noticed it wasn't the time. He led the group to the outside of the castle.
"Come on, this way," he said and led each one of them.
Outside there was a wagon so Sir Yuki tied up the wagon on the horse and got all the ladies to sit in the wagon. Just when they were going to leave, Sir Yuki noticed the witch coming towards them. Sir Yuki got out his sword and threw it at the dragon. It seemed as a miracle, the sword stabbed right into the dragon's heart and made it fall straight down to the ground. Sir Yuki was about to kill the witch with his knife, but all of a sudden, Lady Tohru stood in front of the witch. Sir Yuki and the ladies were surprised.
"No, please don't kill her," begged Lady Tohru.
"What do you mean? She tried to kill you," replied Sir Yuki.
"I know, but don't you think she had enough punishment. Losing a friend is a hard thing; also she was kind to us. She gave up some things to drink and to eat while we were in the dungeons. Please. Sir Yuki, don't kill her!" Lady Tohru got on her knees and begged Sir Yuki. Tears fell from her eyes.
"…Lady Tohru, please look up. I promise I won't kill her if only you promise to stop crying." Sir Yuki wiped the tears off her face. No one in the background could stop these two.
"Really?" Lady Tohru made sure with him.
"Yes," he answered with a smile.
"I'm happy! Aren't you?" Lady Tohru hugged the witch.
"Why did you save me?" asked the witch.
"Because I knew you weren't a bad person."
"How do you know?"
"I don't know, but my heart was telling me. Come on, let's go to the palace together!" Lady Tohru said to the witch. It was for a second that Sir Yuki saw a smile on the witch's face.
All of them were able to return to the castle safely. The king allowed the witch to stay at the palace after she had told them about how she was lonely and wanting company. There was peace again to the kingdom, also a celebration was going on for Sir Yuki's success in bringing the ladies back, but this time, Sir Yuki joined the celebration with his new love, Lady Tohru.
"I am so happy you're okay Lady Tohru."
"And I'm happy you came to save me, Sir Yuki." They laughed, ate, drank, and danced.
"Oh brother! What a courageous thing you did! Oh and it seems you got something! Oh a beautiful lady to be yours! Oh that reminds me, I must give you something for your birthday since I wasn't here! What do you want my brother?" Sir Ayame came to Sir Yuki's and Lady Tohru's place.
"Let me kill you," said Sir Yuki as he chased his brother around the kingdom.
"Oh if you wanted to play tag, you should have said so. Some and catch me!!!" Sir Ayame ran.
"Come back here!" Sir Yuki shouted. All of the people laughed at the sight, except Sir Kyo.
"Ouch! Could you take it easier?" Dr. Hatori was treating Sir Kyo's wounds.
"Be quiet Kyo, If Momiji didn't find you, you would have been dead by now," said Hatori as he bandaged up Sir Kyo's wounds.
"Yup! If I didn't you, you would have been rabbit's meal," Momiji, who is a jester, said while playing with cotton balls.
"You mean rats" Dr. Hatori corrected.
"Oh get out of this place!" Sir Kyo shouted but no one except Dr. Hatori and Momiji could hear this. Everyone else was have fun ouside at the ceremony.
"Maybe I'll go too," said Momiji.
"I'll go too," said Dr. Hatori.
"Hey, what about me?" Sir Kyo was left behing. He watched the door close in front of him.
