In the world that she was supposedly born into, somehow she knew she was different. She could see the world change before her eyes, and it seemed no one else could actually see the changes. Colors were brighter to her, sometimes overwhelming in their brilliance. The colors could easily overwhelm all her senses. They often did. Her parents and doctors said she was different, but they had no idea why or how to fix her. Nothing about it bothered her personally except at sunset.
Sunset was different. She could be calm all day except when the colors started to change. She had one of two reactions. If the colors were light such as a vibrant pink or lavender, she would find a peaceful calm surrounding her. If the colors were red or orange very much the colors of a firestorm, she woul

The tiny girl went through her day at school with the idea of something bigger was happening. She went into the English class which was one of her favorites not for the content but that for the teacher. He seemed to be the most open-minded person she had ever met. She loved their conversations because he never talked down to her or said her ideas were dumb. He seemed to accept them for what they were as they appeared entirely normal for her to say. She waited after class to talk with him knowing he didn’t have a lesson in the next block and neither did she. If there was one person in her life, who would tell her the truth it was him.“Howie, I have a few questions.” she said as the other students filed out of the class and he raised his eyebrows at her still in her seat. “Do you have some time?”“Shoot Kid.” he responded e

The cave was cooler than the palin as the slight draft moved the air around them. It wasn’t like the ones she had seen the day before that they were sitting in discussing her. This was different and though it should have been dark around them there was a light source that she couldn’t see. She could see that the the man standing next to her had eased a bit. He seemed more relaxed and comfortable not where they had been. That made her feel the same. Though she still had no idea where they were.“What the hell?” she exclaimed.“Close but this isn’t exactly home.” he replied as he moved a step away from her.“Where are we?” she asked.“Your so-called mother only opened a gateway for the Angels to have access to you. I took you off that plane to another.” he said with a shrug.“Traveling between planes with a guy I don’t

Her nightmares were getting worse the longer she stayed away from the plane to which the angels had brought her too. She awoke in her room gasping for air as she struggled to remember all she had just seen. It was two days from her birthday, and it was getting harder for her to keep her mind straight and focused on anything. She was now living in fear not of the sunset but of her dreams. She wanted to see Mitsuhide but was afraid to go to that plane again because of everything she had seen in her dreams. She touched her necklace and looked to the sky as sleep took over again.Waiting for a sign that he knew. She needed him now. She needed something to keep her mind straight. Princess knew that was only something the only person who had not used her for something else could do. Mitsuhide was that person.

When she woke up the next morning, she was surprised to see that they were in a small shelter like a grassy hut of some sort. The fire she had woke up to was dying in the middle of the room, and the soft folds of a cushion were against her side. She wondered how he moved her without waking her. She was warm and comfortable just breathing for a moment to relax her senses. She focused on one thing and sent her extra emotions off. She felt a slight movement at the warm lump that was keeping her back warm. She then heard a slight muffled chuckle.“You are getting good at that.” A deeper voice that was husky with the sounds of sleep rolled over her. She could actually feel the tremors his voice caused throughout her body as he spoke being pressed up against her.“I have been practicing.” she murmured as she snuggled somewhat bac

They brought whatever they needed from their main site. It was a fun time as they raced up the stairs and threw their things in the main room on the ground floor only to run down and do the same as they repeated the process a few times. She made a net out of thin air and threw it into the ocean as she closed the net and was surprised that inside was a fish, or what she thought was a fish. He laughed as he watched from the dry sand of the beach as she jumped up and down with excitement.“You are not like your father.” He said. He looked at her and smiled as he thought that.“You know my father?” she asked.“I do Princess.” he stated.“What is he like?” she asked with a head tilt.“He is contrary, my dear.” he replied. “He doesn’t get happy or show any emotion really. He would say one thing and do the opposite. However,, he is decen

She looked at his hand in front of her. He was trembling. She saw that, and her mind was made up. For life meant forever. She looked into his golden eyes as she smiled at him. She couldn’t imagine what forever meant, but she was willing to see as long as forever was with him. She reached out and placed her small hand in his. He looked down at it almost slightly confused. When he looked into her face, it showed more. He was confused as to why she would choose him.The fact she could see that he thought he wasn’t good enough for her was the thing that drove the decision. She knew she felt differently about him. A schoolgirl crush in her mind and not one she could blink away. This was different. This was deeper. This was going to last forever.He was able to let out the breath he was holding. She chose him. His heart was leaping out of his chest. The wall the around everything he had built up came crashin

The tall pillar in the middle of both sides of the war caught the attention of every living creature there as it grew to heights almost unseen. They stood in awe of the pair that were standing on the pillar. They seemed to be talking among themselves as everyone stared at them. There was no question to who the female was, but the other figure on the pillar was unknown to many.“Is that?” a demon dressed in deep blue with one eye asked.“What is he doing up there?” another dressed in green asked.“How did he find her?” The one dressed in black asked.“Why did he find her?” the one in yellow asked as his eyes narrowed at the pair.The figures seemed to be talking between themselves. As they looked at the creatures before them on the ground. They were all dressed in am

The chamber that they had all been in went silent. The sounds of creatures breathing was the only sound as the stand off between the demon king and the princess of all realms was happening. Though all were ready to act if they were needed they all knew this had to play out if there was to be some sort of peace between her and them. The demon king looked at her with his blood red eyes and she could see the power in them. It was a good match for her own but she knew that wasn’t what he wanted in the end. It was her power that came within her that allowed her to understand that he had to provoke her.“I would say do you know I rule you?” she replied while still looking at the man as he tried to move. “You attacked my consort I would not be shocked if I tore up apart by accident.”Nobunaga looked at her and started laughing as only he cou

10When dinner was brought to the private rooms of the Master of the castle the three young women who did saw the couple on the back deck, they were wrapped up together deep in conversation to which none of them could hear. They glare at the woman who had just shown up with no warning, while their eyes rested on their lord the six of them softened.“I know what we have to do.“, one whispered.“What is that?“, the smallest of them asked.“A Yosei.“, the first young girl said.“That is a legend. She is just like you are me.“, the third girl spoke.“Look at her. She has the lord wrapped around her finger. She is Yosei. That is the only explanation.“, the first one hissed.“What do you plan on doing?“, the third asked.“We ha

9The announcement went as he expected. His people all loved her he could see that. That made him pleased as well. It was one thing he didn’t think he really cared about, but he did. She was now his intended bride. He did see the looks from some of the staff, the younger females, as he made the announcement within the castle’s walls. They were not happy with his choice. Though he meant to file that information away if any problems should arise he would know where to look, he was simply too happy to remember. He had done the unthinkable for himself, he had found a woman that wanted to stand next to him, not for the notoriety of it or the power of it, but one who wanted to be there.She had worn a traditional kimono for the announcement. Though it played with the

8It had been a quiet week for the two as he caught up with his own work as she had stepped in to help the staff with whatever needed to be done. Mitsuhide was watching her talk to the senior housekeeper on doing something a little different than they usually did it. As like every other time she had suggested something it went smoother and saved time. The head housekeeper was in awe of the tiny slip of a woman as were most. Except for a select few of the younger staff, everyone loved her, and they all had hoped an announcement would be made sooner rather than later.The longer he waited to make the announcement the closer it was that she would either leave or one of the other warlords would show up at the door and try to whisk her away. He was honestly surprised that it hadn’t happened yet. Hideyo

7“Do you see anything you wish to have?“, Mitsuhide asked as he followed her from stall to stall as she looked at everything.“Oh no, you have done too much already, Mitsuhide.“, she replied.“Have I?“, he asked. “I don’t see that I have. Do you like the colors in your room?”“The blue. Yes, it is my favorite.“, she replied.“You do not make it easy, Princess.“, he chuckled. “Let me get you something.”“Mitsuhide, I don’t need anything.’, she smiled.“Then I will have to guess, my dear.“, He said softly. The older man who was the stall keeper smiled knowingly at the exchange. He nodded to Mitsuhide and smiled softly toward the Princess.“Might I interest you in something My lord?&ldqu

6Usually an early riser Mitsuhide he often beat the others in the castle awake. After the night before he had allowed himself the comfort of sleeping until daybreak, but he was not the first awake. As he looked at the open door, he saw a shadow of the person who must be sitting out there. He at first wondered who it could be, it took only a few seconds for the realization to hit that it was her. When he rounded the corner, he saw her golden hair slightly wild, and her pale cheeks flushed from the slight wind. Her eyes widen and seemingly ready to learn. He could see the intelligence in them. She softly smiled. “The bed was much more comfortable than the ground.“, her voice soft.“Well, I should hope so.“, he replied. “What is that bag you hav

5“You know who I am?“, she asked as she looked at the man who was staring at her.“Should I?“, he asked.“You said you like you knew who I was.“, she said as she let her disappointment show.“You do not know who you are?“, he asked.“No, I do not. I hit my head last night. It must have been hard. I don’t know who I am or where I am.“, she stated. “The first thing I remember was looking at the lake in darkness. I can remember certain things but not others. I knew the sound of the horse, but not the name of it. I knew a sword and how to use it, but can’t remember how I know. The man who brought me here said it is uncommon for a woman to be able to do what I did.”“You killed three men?“, Mitsuhide asked.“Yes

4The morning light woke her from her slumber. She began to walk around a little further than she had the night before. She was still a little tired from whatever had brought her there to this place. She yet couldn’t name herself or where she was all she knew was she could get another fish when she was hungry. She looked at the lake again, sitting on a rock she watched over the water for what seemed a few minutes but when she looked up the sun was directly over. She worked the rest of the time to make a stronger shelter for the night.She was proud of the lean-to she had made. If she didn’t know where it was, she would have lost it. She lit another fire as she waded into the water and grabbed another fish. She repeated the process as the sun wa

3When she made it to her office an hour later as everyone had stopped her for the gruesome details of the night prior. She was disgusted with the behavior of the grown adults acting like school children waiting for the next piece of gossip. She forgot about the underside of how to be an adult. They were some unspoken accusations of maybe she didn’t do enough because she wanted the job that her boss had. This from a group of people who also could have jumped in and helped but did not.She hated them. Hated all of it. She went into the office and plugged in her drive. She uploaded the files and sat there looking as they were copied into the drive. She saved each one

2“What?“, he sister replied.“Come on I just had the day from hell just tell me what you need.“, the tiny woman replied.“Well, I kinda need to ask you for a favor.“, Susie started.“I figured as much.“, she replied.“Come on sis, you sound like dad when I ask him.“, Susie stated.“Suz, I just told you I had the day from hell. I really mean I had the day from hell. I’m tired, worn out, and well frankly I hurt like a mother-“, she started.“Come on now.“, her sisters normally calm voice went up an octave.“So what or how much do you need?“, she asked. Knowing this conversation was going to go around in circles for hours, and she wanted to sleep jus
