Authoress Notes: I am SO sorry, This chapter was suppose to be posted a while back but my stupid computer got a virus and we had to delete everything, including this finished chapter. So I had to re-type the chapter. I'm really sorry about this and I hope that it never happens again. Oh, for anyone that was wondering, Akai Misu means 'Red Water' and Kouryaku means 'Capture'

Chapter Two: Kouryaku Part One
-
-
-
The early morning rays seeped in through Zakuro's open window, allowing them to settle on her face. Moaning the lavender-haired beauty rolled over on her side in an effort to escape the light, but unfortunately didn't succeed. Letting out and aggravated growl Zakuro sat up in her bed, blinking a few times allowing herself to soak up her surroundings
"Mmm…" Zakuro mumbled as she rubbed her eyes and edged herself off the bed. Walking over to her window she leaned out it and watched the servants run about hurriedly, "Seems like father already hired some new help…" Zakuro mumbled to herself as she leaned farther out her window causing some of her loose lavender strands to fall off her shoulders and hang in the air.
'Life is so boring…' She thought boredly as she listened to the birds sing joyously while they bathed in the morning sunlight, "Good morning to you too." Zakuro muttered to the birds before straighten her back up and making her way to her closet.
Opening the closet doors Zakuro entered the enormous room (it could hardly be considered a closet for it's enormous size) and set out to find appropriate cloths for this day. Zakuro scrunched up her brows as she scanned through her cloths.
She hated this day.
Normally a person would be overjoyed on the day of their birthday. Zakuro, however, was not.
She hated her birthday.
And everything it stood for, her birth.
Her dark azure eyes landed on a amethyst colored dress. It gave off a sort of cold aura; it was as if it wanted to say 'Mess with me and you die'. Zakuro stared at the dress for a moment, it was hard for her to explain but she felt as though she was drawn to the dress.
She would wear it.
Pulling the purple dress off the hanger Zakuro shed her pajamas and pulled the purple dress over her head. Straightening the dress out Zakuro grabbed a pair of black shoes and slipped them onto her feet.
Zakuro made her way to the door, and exited the room. As she walked down the hallway Zakuro let out a heavy sigh, 'Today is suppose to be the day of my death.' Zakuro thought grimly as she stared blankly down the hallway.
"Princess Zakuro."
At the sound of her name Zakuro stopped abruptly and swiftly turned around coming face to face with the very priestess that had told her father of her horrible future, "What?" Zakuro snapped as she scanned the woman.
She really hated this lady.
"My, my aren't you a rude little girl." The priestess remarked as she scanned Zakuro head to toe, "That's an awful grim dress to be wearing on your birthday princess." The priestess chuckled, "It's almost as if your awaiting you death…"
Zakuro glared at the priestess, "You of all people should know, Kyande."
Kyande chuckled, "Maybe so, but you know I wasn't all that great when I told your future those eighteen years ago. After all I was only ten." Kyande tucked a strand of her blond hair behind her ear as she smirked, "I mean for all we know I could have been wrong…"
'I get the feeling she knows something I don't' Zakuro thought as she continued to glare at Kyande, "Well, let's hope you are." Zakuro said nonchalantly as she started to walk away form Kyande.
Kyande's gaze hardened, 'No matter what, he must kidnap her.' Kyande shifted her crimson eyes to Zakuro's back, 'I fear if he does not, the curse of Ookami Shugyoku will never be broken.' Kyande turned her heal and began to walk in the opposite direction of Zakuro, 'I can't break my promise to Zakuro's mother, the king will pay.'
Amethyst eyes scanned the courtyard from a distance through a golden telescope. A smirk graced the lips of a man as he set the telescope behind him, "This should be easy enough." The man mused, "For a castle, its defenses are quite poor." Wasting no time the man grabbed a rope from his belt and lowered it down from the great wall, 'Okay Pai all you have to do now is reach the castle and find the wretched girl and steal her stone.' Pai told himself as he began his decent.
Making sure he had a firm grip, Pai began to push off the wall, loosing his grip on the rope each time he pushed off with his feet. Once Pai reached the bottom of the wall he left the rope for his escape and continued on with his plan.
"Tch." Pai muttered to himself as he walked past many of the maids with out any from of questioning from them, 'What is the king, dumb?' Pai asked himself as he made his way through the corridors.
"Now, who do we have here?"
Pai froze and turned around slowly to face the person he presumed was talking to him. His amethyst eyes locked with crimson orbs. Running her fingers through her golden locks Kyande stared at Pai with a mysterious smile upon her lips, "I don't remember the King hiring someone as handsome as yourself mister …?"
"Pai." Pai snapped quickly. He didn't trust this lady or anyone for the matter. He had come to get something and he intended to leave with it—no mater what the cost.
"Yes, yes Pai…" Kyande replied as a sly grin found its why to her thin lips, "I've been expecting you." Her last statement earned a confused glance from Pai that was quickly covered up with his icy glare.
"Oh?" Pai questioned, "Whatever for?"
Kyande's gaze hardened focusing in on Pai, "I know what you've come for, and I know that you won't rest until you've gotten your hands on it-," Kyande paused letting her words sink in for a moment, "-Pai Zuthano, heir to the Zuthanoian throne (1)."
Pai eyes widened for a moment before he eyed Kyande suspiciously with his emotionless amethyst orbs, "What did you say?"
Kyande smiled as she twisted a piece of her golden locks with her index finger, "No matter where you run Pai, your father will find you. Now, in the future you're going to have to make a choice that will affect your life greatly. I'm warning you now. Make the wrong one and you may regret it for the rest of you life."
Pai fixed his gaze on the woman in front of him, "If you know what I'm after why don't you stop me?"
Kyande smiled, "Now why would I do that? Besides, I think you may receive more than you intend to. It's not in my power to stop you as I already promised someone that. I'm not much of a rule follower anyways. Do as you please." With this said Kyande bowed the continued on her way.
Pai cursed himself. Who was that lady and how the hell did she know about his position as heir to the Zuthanoian throne? Besides that how did he know she wouldn't tell the Fujiwaraian King of his presence? Pai scowled, he didn't know so he would have to work extra fast if he wanted to avoid being caught by the King.
"Damnit." Pai growled as he started to run down the corridors, "Where the hell could that wretched girl be?"
Sprinting around a corner Pai slammed into another person causing himself and the persona he had run into to be thrown back onto the floor, "Shit." Pai cursed as he jumped to his feet but not before he glared down at the girl he had run into. The girl he'd run into blinked a couple of times before looking up with her emerald gaze,
"Excuse me sir…anou…you don't have to glare at me like that I mean…after all you did run into me." The girl squeaked out as she cowered under Pai's glare, "B-But I suppose…I do own you and apology…"
Pai smirked as an idea formed in his mind, "No need." He said simply as he extended his arm out and hoisted the girl off the ground. Then he bent down and kissed the girl on the hand, "Sorry for being so rude earlier… could you be a dear and tell me the name of such a beautiful girl such as your self?" (2)
The girls face turned a bright scarlet color as she answered, "R-Retasu."
"Well Then, Retasu. Could you be a dear and tell me where Princess Zakuro is?"
"I don't know…" The girl whispered, "But she's almost always in the garden at the time of day… the one by the front wall…"
Not uttering a word of thanks Pai took off in the direction he had originally come from leaving Retasu to ponder if he was ever in her presence it the first place, "He was a nice man though…"
To Be Continued…
Ending Authoress Notes: Yes I know, this chapter was very short. I found it very difficult to re-write something I've already written before so I split the original chapter into two parts. The next chapter will be uploaded shortly.
PLEASE READ!
(1) – This is not Pai's last name. In fact I don't believe he has one but for the sake of the plot I made it up. I repeat this is not his real last name, I made up.
(2) – I know, this seems very OOC of Pai, but believe me he's only doing the to deceive poor Retasu, Anywho it was all part of his plan to find out where Zakuro was, so please don't complain to me saying that I made his character all wrong.
