" How could you let her do this all on her own?" Akuhei crossed her arms in rage. She eyes Kitana from the side with disgust.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mitsukai wrapped her green cloak over her head and swept through the empty hallway. It was quiet and it seemed like all the nobles had finally gone to bed. The hallways were lit with small candles that were placed in lanterns high above Mitsukai's height. Takikng a deep breath, she pressed her body weight against the wall and began making her way down to the master corridor where the king slept.
Akuhei had been a secondary leader alongside Kitana for quite some time, and had greatly opposed the thought of Mitsukai doing this tas all on her own.
" She insisted she go alone." Kitana pulled her ponytail down and her long red hair cascaded down her back.
" She is merely a studnet in training, she doesn't even know how to use her gem!"
Kitana ran her fingertips on her blue gem that was buried in the flesh of her forehead. The gem every human was presented with at the age of twelve. Each individual gem had a calling of power. And Mitsukai, the youngest of the Tuomoque. Her power allowed her pyschic abilities. With a single touch of any object or person, she could see every memory and thought that had ever laid upon it or within it. A very rare gem indeed. But Kitana was concentrated more on her own, the one that allowed her to talk through minds... she was worried about Mitsukai.
She hadn't been able to contact Mitsukai, and it had been far passed midnight.
" Twenty more minutes, then i'm going after her!" Akuhei's long violet hair was pulled up into a bun, her long legs folded into a comfortable sitting position. She wore a long red silk gown that revealed her tanned arms and shoulders. Her marroon eyes searched the ground, it had been too long, something had to have gone wrong.
Mitsukai drew her knife and gently opened the door.
She could see the king's silhouette beneath the covers. She let her breath go and raised the knife as she neared.
She was now standing above her, she could feel his warm breath against her legs and it nearly made her shudder.
She brought the knife down when she could feel the king's hands wrap around her wrist. He pulled her down near his chest, he only wore silk pants. He held her near his well built chest and tightened his grip on her wrists, prying the knife from her hands.
As soon as the knife was free, he ripped her hood off and took a long look at his assasin. She had soft pale skin, with auburn blonde hair framing her green eyes. Her forehead held that of a green gem, mocking the king's black stone.
" You fool!" The King shook her.
Mitsukai shut her eyes tight and felt the emotions swarming within him... all the anger and hate.
She finally mustered out a, " Toumoque will over throw you." Her bravery was all she had left.
" I'm going to take care of you once in..."
Suddenly the earth shook from beneath the two, sending them both flying off the bed and hitting the carpeted ground.
" WHat the??!!"
Mitsukai looked outside the king's bench window and could see lights throbing within the sky, " Oh...no...The Sorceress..."
Taru grabbed Mitsukai's arm," That's every 2000 years! A legend! "
Mitsukai shook her head," evidently 2000 years was too far away... toumoque has a far greater problem now than it's exelency."
Taru pulled her forward, " The light is coming this way, we have to get out of here!"
" Your such a coward!" Mitsukai's 5'4 frame hardly measured to the king's but her persistence pushed at him.
" That's it!" Taru threw Mitsukai over his shoulder and headed down the backway of the palace...
