A Simple Tale...
Part II- Court
Ami sighed, this was nice. Here she could forget the fact that in a few days, or sooner she would be presented to the royal court. Ami stopped reading for a moment to think, here she was in a large bathtub filled to the brim with hot water and sweetly smelling soap bubbles, and the only part of her seen was her head from the nose up, her glasses resting on her nose, and her arms which were holding a book slightly above the water.
She sighed again, maybe if she fell asleep, when she woke up this would all be a dream. But did she really want it to be a dream? Sure she loved her time at home alone, being able to read and write papers, but didn't she herself say only a few weeks ago that something different would be nice? She sighed, either way, she had no choice now.
Sighing once again she pulled herself from the warm water, she had a meeting with the Prince to go to.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
Quatre glanced down at the sleeping Minako, he was carrying her as they walked into the palace. "So we're all back?" he asked looking up and to Hiiro.
"Yes, they we are, you with the sleeping Lady Aino, Lady Hino there, and Lady Mizuno is in her room. And so far we only have one problem."
"What?" Trowa asked shifting a pack on his back.
"Serenity wants to come."
"What! Hiiro you're not thinking of letting her come with are you?" Quatre said shocked.
"I don't wish her to, but you know we can't stop her."
"True." Trowa muttered and as they walked towards the guest rooms.
"What's true?" Minako quiet voice asked sleepily.
Quatre gently helped Minako to her feet as The group turned to watch her, "Good Morning Lady Aino."
Minako blinked quickly almost as if she was unaware of the prince and the other men, "Lord Winner why didn't you wake me?" She asked her hands slipping out of her cloak, her rings glittering in the soft light as she cracked her knuckles.
"I thought you would like to sleep more, Lady Aino. This is Lord Barton and Lord Chang, and Lady Hino." Quatre said to her.
"Lady Hino?" Glancing for the first time away from Quatre she shook her head. "Nice to see you again Rei."
"You too." Rei muttered smirking.
"You to know each other?" Trowa asked quietly.
"Yes we do." The said at the same time, Rei smirking, and Minako sighing.
"Lady Aino, I am Prince Hiiro Yuy. We have many things to talk about before we can leave." Hiiro said coldly before the talk could be turned away from the subject once more.
Minako turned quickly to Hiiro, "We do not have time for talk your Highness. Dorothy must be stopped."
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
Venus sat staring at Fate, "This Dorothy that they speak of...the name is familiar...who does she serve?"
Fate muttered something and stood, "This Dorothy used to serve you, Venus. But she changed, she sold herself to Pluto for Power, the dark god took her in and trained her, in the dark magic, she must be stopped. She's after more then just the King, She's after Lady Aino."
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
Minako sat quietly in her chambers, so what if she didn't tell the Prince the whole truth, how she knew Dorothy was her business. It wasn't that important, at least not to them, but it sure as hell was to her.
Sighing Minako stood and paced the room, "Goddess, what is going on..." she muttered as there was a knock on the door.
"Good day, Lady Aino." There standing in front of her was a small blue haired woman. "I'm here to show you to Prince Hiiro's study. I'm on my way there myself." She was quiet and almost shy like.
"Oh! Yes, yes his Highness said he'd have Lady Mizuno show me." So this was the scholar, odd, she doesn't seem like the type to have her nose in a book.
"Yes." She said and was quiet the rest of the way there.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
Venus sat quietly by herself, staring into the ocean.
"Oh...someone's getting worried." A small fairy flew up, her brown hair in two buns.
"Go away Une." Venus said quietly not looking to her.
"Oh 'Go away Une!', 'Get!', 'You're not wanted here!' That's all I hear from you gods and goddesses! You'd think fairies would get a little more respect!"
"Not ones like you." Venus snapped at her.
"Oh And I'm sure My sister gets respect! That little brown noser!" Une snapped out. "But dear Venus! Why be worried! You should be happy! So your most faithful servant is about to become unfaithful! So what! We at the same time get to have fun the a group of mortals lives!"
"I'll kill you Une if you don't leave."
"Ha! You know very well Fate said I'm to 'Help' in this 'Tale'. You can't touch me."
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
A flash of silver and a clang of metal as Quatre and Trowa's swords connected in perfecting time to block the swings from both sides.
"So..." Trowa started swinging his sword again dressed in leather now instead of his heavy armor. "How do you Think Lady Aino and Lady Hino know each other?"
"Who knows!" Quatre exclaimed slashing at Trowa's arm. "Lady Aino herself confuses me!"
Wufei snorted from the side where he was cleaning his sword. "Who cares how they know each other! They're all weak Women!"
Trowa and Quatre both stopped moving at the same time and stared almost dumbfounded at Wufei.
"They are not weak! At least Lady Aino isn't!" Quatre said quickly. "She controls the wind at her will!"
"And Lady Hino is a better marksman then any of us." Trowa stated and swung at the oblivious Quatre, who still dodged and avoided the swing completely.
"So."
Quatre and Trowa glanced at each other and grinned before diving together on Wufei swords drawled high above their heads, swinging this way and that at the knight who fumbled to fight back.
~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
"Now at first I plan to lead us through the Oakley forest, heading east. This will kept us on a safe path and on an easy road-" Hiiro was saying as Minako stood, and slammed a fist into the table that she had been seated at.
"No. That's just leading us away! You ARE looking for Dorothy correct?" Minako said cracking her knuckles and playing with a ring on her little finger.
"Yes we are Lady Aino...but why do you think we're going in the wrong direction?" Hiiro said trying to tolerance her outbreak.
"Because," Minako started as she slipped out from behind the table she was at, and walking forward to the map the prince was at. "I know for a fact Dorothy is here." She stiffly pointed to the map her rings and long fingernails flashing dangerously. Her finger was on the Melantha Mountains.
"WHAT!" Ami squeaked out standing also. "How can she be there! No one lives there! It's freezing, that's how far north it is! And it's not even this kingdom! It's in Endymion's land! He won't allow us to enter! And look at all the ways we have to travel, every turn something bad. First there's the Taman woods, known for having spirits and Fae in it! Then the Toru river, or should I say sea, that is one on the widest rivers, hard to cross! And then we'd have to enter Endymion's land and go through many small towns, hoping that we're not seen! And lastly...The Kin Forest. The forest of the gods and goddesses! You must be crazy Lady Aino to think she'd be there!"
"She's there." Was Minako's only reply.
"How sure are you Lady?" Hiiro asked as he glanced at Serenity who looked quite scared after Lady Mizuno's speech.
"I'd bet my life on it."
"Well then..." Hiiro started. It's not too good to argue with a Mage, they always seem to be right, and Lay Aino was the best. "That's where we'll go."
~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
Minako leaned against the wall in the back of the ballroom, This right now was the reason she moved back to the small house after Artemis died. He had told her, there's nothing there, only noise and things to distract you. And he was right, even now in his grave, but Artemis was always right. So after a month she went home. Closing her eyes she cracked her knuckles as the party went on around her.
~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
Rei sat at a table dress nicely for once in a new pair of leather pants and a cloth red dress shirt, and over that a short unbuttoned leather vest. Looking up from her glass of wine she saw the Prince and Princess dancing together. 'A good luck ball- huh. Who needs it.' Rei thought to herself as her eyes wandered the room, catching the whole party that was going, each almost seeming to be hiding in a corner or crowd. Only did the royals stay in the open.
~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
The music in the hall slowly rolled to a stop as Hiiro and Serenity stepped forward to the thrones, raising a hand, the Prince hushed the room.
"Lords and Ladies, Welcome! Do forgive me that we couldn't have called you here for something...more...festive. But as we all know, the great King of ours is dying. And not of normal causes, but from witchcraft. The witch, Dorothy Catalonia is murdering our beloved king!"
"And that is why I will lead a group of six to claim her death! I have called the best, the brightest, and fastest, the strongest, and wisest. They are here, the first three of the group are my own trusted knights: Sir Winner, Sir Barton and Sir Chang. Then we have three...Ladies who will be coming to fight with us..." Hiiro trailed off as most of the Lords in the crowd were screaming at him for choosing woman to bring.
"Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Calm! These Ladies will not fail!" Hiiro snapped cruelly hushing the crowd once again. "First I selected Lady Ami Mizuno, a Scholar, she knows maps and things about places some of us will ever know!" Hiiro said and waved his hand at Ami who curtsied in her blue gown from the back of the room.
"And Lady Rei Hino! Aye! I took the Wood Woman from her wood for this!" Hiiro pointed Rei out as she bowed flicking her ebony ponytail over her shoulder.
"And my last choice you will all see my reasoning for at once. The great lady mage, Lady Minako Aino..." Hiiro trailed off as his eyes searched for Minako, not finding her he said, "Lady Aino...Uh...Lady Aino?"
"I'm right here." Minako muttered as she pulled herself from the shadows and stepped forward her golden colored dress flashing like her rings.
"Ah, there you are. Now, Lords are my choices wise?"
"Aye!" Most of them called, seeming to be quite pleased at a chance to even see the Lady mage, even if she was only nineteen.
"Also our Fair Princess has chosen to come along, She will not be swayed to stay, as I have tried multiple times. So in our absents The Earl Of Jay, will watch over our people." Hiiro said motioning to the older, gray-haired man who was missing a hand. "We all know of his wisdom and that is why I chose him. Thank you for coming to wish us luck. We are leaving in the morning. We have a long journey. This will not be simple..."
~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
Ok ay...Sorry this took so long, but that what happens when your in school and doing VERY bad in math! Mina-chan had to bring her grade up! And had no time to sit and finish this chapter up! And I was planning on updating this now because next I'm outta town...and away from Ai-chan my computer! Poor Ai-chan will miss me!
Anyways I PROMISE the next chapter of this will be much more...fun. I swear!

Mina-chan: *sweatdrop *
