~Kiri~
Hibiki and Hanatsuki looked between me and the man as we both took a fighting stance. I was about the make the first move, when I realised something. I shot up, and the man’s eyes widened a little in surprise. “That’s right! I haven’t asked you your name yet,” I smiled at the man. He seemed a little confused as to how I’d gone from totally serious, to best friend in a few seconds.
“Zane,” he told me.
I nodded, and gripped the hilt of my sword, “Nice to meet ya Zane.” I lifted my sword, getting ready to attack. When suddenly, my train of thought was interrupted.
“Lady Kiri!” I heard someone call out. I turned and saw one of my father’s soldiers running towards me, the short man from earlier doing his best to keep up. Damn, I knew I shouldn’t have trusted him. I groaned, and looked back and forth between the soldier and Zane. I wanted to continue our fight, but with the soldier there, I’d be dragged back to Kuiri in less than a heartbeat.
“Sorry,” I grinned at Zane. I ran towards the soldier, who slowed down and sighed with relief, thinking that I was going to go home without a fight. Heh, yeah right. Just as I reached him, instead of slowing down, I sped up, and jumped right over his head. I stuck my tongue out at him as I ran, “Haha, you’re never gonna be able to catch me.”
He started to chase me, and just so I could annoy him, I started running around in a big circle. After a few seconds, he was tired out, and breathing heavily. “I told you!” I taunted him. He growled, and attempted to try and catch me again. I just laughed at him. I looked behind me to see Zane, Hibiki and Hanatsuki staring after me.
I was so preoccupied with taunting the guard, and watching the others, that I didn’t see what was in front of me. I turned around just in time to see a large, grey brick wall, right before I ran into it. I fell on my butt, and rubbed my nose. “Damn! That hurt!” I complained.
“Lady Kiri! Are you alright?” I heard the soldier call out and I realised he was getting closer to be every second.
“Stay away from me! I’m never going to go home!” I yelled out.
