Again, Iām not really a writer but here goes.
3 months. 3 MONTHS since I saw my older sister Mei. Idk exactly what she is doing, but all I know is she is now apart of the Blood Kingās army, and sheās been very distant.
Iām not worried for her because eww feelings and she can definitely take care of herself. She can make anything into a weapon. Iāve seen her use her purse to a kodachi to a god damn table.
But Iām also surprised she hasnāt been killed yet due to her loud mouth. Iām used to it after 13 years of living with her, but I just donāt know how King Asukai puts up with her.
Daichi, being caught up in his thoughts, runs into Prince Osamu. āShootā¦. ā Osamu said. Thatās when he noticed Osamu wearing peasant clothing. He seemed to be in a rush, so letās bug him! āHey Osamu, whereās the fire? ā
Osamu stuttered, āUmmm, I was just going umm to the ummm to the⦠the⦠the⦠ā And f'ing books it to the woods, dropping a bag containing two apples and a slice of bread. āGeez Osamu, who knew you had such a big appetiteā Daichi said sarcastically.
Itās very suspicious that he just ran away. Why? If he didnāt want to share his food he couldāve just said something. Well jokes on him, I now have all of it, taking a huge bite out of an apple.
But seriously though, isnāt he supposed to have guards with him, or is he just as strong as the Fearsome Blood King?
I should definitely go after him.
I roamed the woods for what seemed like hours. Iām too tired to walk back, so Iām just going to make myself comfortable. Iāve slept outside before with a few friends back home and it was no big deal so it shouldnāt be that bad.
While I was trying to fall asleep, I debated what story I will tell my mother. Was I kidnapped but somehow escaped, or do I tell her the truth that I was stalking the Prince because he is acting sketchy af. As if Iām not being sketchy, hunting down some rando I donāt know too much about. Iāve hung out with him before; we are the only teens in this whole castle, but it was only because he seemed like he needed friends. I was making him look cool, after all.
I finally fell asleep against a giant ass tree. That night, I had vivid dreams about some dude with red hair and snake tattoos. Iāve been having dreams⦠no nightmares of this man for months. Each time, itās him killing my older brother Daisuke but right before he dies he Daisuke turns into me. WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS MEAN!?!? I donāt bring it up to my parents of older sister because his death is a very touchy subject (need I say why?) but these dreams have been torturing me for a while.
I wake up in a cold sweat, then hearing somebody coming towards me. I scramble for anything, anything I could use as a weapon. I settle for a huge ass stick. I donāt want to hurt them, just scare em a little, but they donāt know that. The mysterious guy panics and picks up a stick of their own. Swinging blindly, I finally swing as something and immediately after hear a loud ow and grunting. āWhat the heck man?!? ā A familiar voice to Daichi. āThe hell are you doing creeping around in the woods??? ā Daichi yelled at him. āWhy are YOU sleeping in the woods??? Donāt you have a home??? ā Osamu said.
āTouche.ā He said. āArenāt you suppose to have some kind of body guard whenever your out?ā āI mean you are the Prince after all. Youād think that after almost being killed by assassins would teach you not to go out by yourself, especially with the Hebi gang running loose. ā Dead silence. āLetās just go back to the palace, alright? ā Osamu squeaked out.
The sun was up when we finally got back to the palace.
āWHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN KHIRAHARA DAICHI?!? ā āDO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS???? IāVE BEEN WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS JUST STAND THERE AND GIVE ME THAT STUPID LOOK ON YOUR FACE??? DONāT EVEN TRY APOLOGISING YOUNG MAN I DONāT WANT TO HEAR IT. I DONāT WANT TO SEE YOU FOR THE REST OF THE DAY⦠YOU ARE SO GROUNDED. JUST WAIT TILL YOUR FATHER HEARS ABOUT THIS!!
That went surprisingly better than what I expected. Usually she throws whatever is within sight. She storms out for fresh air, and I immediately crash on the floor, way too exhausted to go to bed.
I literally slept the day away, undisturbed until somebody loudly banged away on our door. "Uughhhhh⦠ā I responded. Even louder knocking. BAM BAM BAM. āFINE, Iām up. ā
I opened the door to see a messager with a note. āNote for Kiahara Diachi? ā āThatās meā I said giving him a glare. Usually Iām a pleasant person to be around, but dammit if you woke up after a long night of nightmares and fighting princes in the woods with sticks off the ground, and to time home and immediately get yelled at by your mother, you would be very irritated to deal with this nonsense.
Tearing open the letter is a note from Osamu. āMeet me at the old dojo in an hour. Also, bring over some snacks, Iām not allowed in the kitchen anymoreā~Osamu
Make sense since he was sneaking around yesterday with a bag of apples and bread. That guy is too weird, must be a Royal thing ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ.
Hey should I finish this or what? I donāt think itās that good but what do you guys think?
