I showed the arrow to Zen. We had gone into a room to speak. "Someone shot at you inside the castle! Imbeciles!" He shook his head. "Why didn't you tell anyone!? And why are you treating this like it's no big deal?!" "Zen please don't be mad-" cherry started, "How can i not be mad!" He interrupted, "This is a big deal, and im mad too!" She reached out to hold the arrow, "Im not leaving without a fight and if someone wants me to. Ill make them tell me why to my face." Cherry finished "You can't!" "Zen!" I started to scold him. "At least that's what I should say, but I won't. If they go to far use my authority to make them stop." He sighed. "You see I make enemies quite easily here." He looked sad.

"How will we figure out who it is?" I asked her, she shrugged "Im not sure." We leaned up against a piller and stood thinking. A man walked up to us. "Who are you? You don't look to be from the royal court!" "We aren't." I replied calmly, this is the guy we need. I nodded to cherry. "How did you get in?" "Through the poet gate." Cherry answered, "Did you have permission?" "Yes, and if you follow us we can show you to him." We stepped forward. "Preposterous if you had permission to be here I would know. Therefore once I find an intruder in the castle I am forced to remove them." We stepped forward again. He drew his sword. "I will use this sword!" He said nervously. We stepped forward again. "Do it then!" We both challenged, we stepped forward again. He lifted his sword, but put it away instead of striking us down. We walked past him slightly and breathed a sigh of relief. "Do you know anything about an order supposably sent by Prince Zen?" I asked him, he fell silent. A man jumped onto the windowsill. "No that was me, as well as the arrow." He admitted, "No I would never seek the help of a commoner, I just wanted to protect the prince." Lord Haruka said solemnly. "Man you royal people have a weird sense of pride." The man on the sill shook his head. "Indeed they do, is it true Lord Haruka you did it for my safety?" Zen walked out from the shadows. "Yes sire." "Well you were very mis guided." Zen threw the arrow on the ground. "If your plan worked it would have made things miserable." He sighed and looked to the arrow then back to Haruka. "Do you value your position in my court?" The proud man nodded, "Then you should never abuse that right." He nodded again. "Yes sire." "How long were you there?" Cherry questioned the prince. "Long enough but I hope you'll forgive me for eavesdropping." Cherry laughed. "Of course, I forgive you ... Zen." The lord quickly looked up. "Peasant how dare you call his majesty by his given name!" I chuckled. "Down boy she has permission." With that the lord bowed and left. "Well I guess that just about raps things up." The man called from the window. "Not just yet scoundrel." "My name is Obi master." I burst out laughing, the prince looked annoyed. "Im no threat anymore im way to scared of those girls to do anything again." Obi stated with a smirk. "How can I trust you?" Zen scoweled, "Because i'm an honest guy? And I really like em. A redhead like that could be a lot of help to a prince!" He stated happily. For some reason it annoyed me he didnt mention me. "I don't like him." I spoke up. I moved towards him and he chuckled. "Sorry to hear that M'lady." He winked and I blushed. I was embarrassed, so I pushed him backwards. He landed on his feet, hmph guess he really is part cat. His eyes sure look the part and his reflexes match too. I turned to Zen and cherry. "Im going to follow them. Cherry, im changing the nickname to Shira. Also stay with Zen while im away okay?" She nodded and I jumped down to the tree and then next to the cat. "Kiki, Mitsuhide, Mira! Keep an eye on this guy okay!" We nodded, Kiki and I walked in front of the assassin. "Follow us please." Kiki asked politely. Obi chuckled and bowed. "I'd follow you ladies anywhere." Mitsuhide must have not liked Obi's flirting attempts because he scoffed at him. "Pathetic!" Obi turned to him and bowed again. "I perfer you call me Obi good sir." Mitsuhide sighed and waved him ahead to continue following us.
