Jokes aside-chapter 8

Akari didn't expect herself to be in such position and never thought she would be in a forest with a guy holding her down not to mention she doesn't know him personally. "H-haruko can you please let me up..." said akari who felt very uncomfortable in the Position she was in " h-h-haru.." Akari says still about ready to cry at this very moment she knew she couldn't trust him he seemed like all the men in the village who were trying to get their way with women. Akari starts to wiggle out of his grip with tears in her eyes soon letting out a cry for help until she looks at haru's eyes noticing a pain in his eyes and soon tears forming uncontrollably it seemed. However haru noticed how scared she was and let her up while getting up his self walking away without a word leaving a trail of his tears behind. "Haru..." says Akari getting up quickly running towards haru to give him a welcoming hug "let's talk,shall we let your pain out haru?" haru takes a deep breath and firstly apologizes for holding her down like he had and explains it all. "I'm the so called rumor king everyone has been talking about, I am the cold hearted king who kills the people, I am the monster that gives the village nightmares..." said haru with a pained expression. "I-Ahem, I'm sorry your the rumored king that had gone through out my village?!" "but how!?" "This can't be possible your supposed to be a rumor or a tale!!" said akari surprised "At this point I wish I was a silly rumored tale but I'm not and I'm really just a monster.." Akari stops and realizes that she is showing a distant body language and walks towards haru with her hands out to him "your no monster to me" she says with a warming smile while then kissing his cheek "Your not what the people say you are..you are warm hearted and most of all you are you, don't pay any attention to the rumors" Akari continues on and sure enough sees haru smirk "Thank you for cheering me up kid" Akari freezes and her smile soon turns into a frown "kid?" haru laughs "yeah aren't you 14 or something?" says haru confused "I'm literally 17.." says Akari speechless and a bit angry "you gotta be kidding me.." Akari buts in as soon as haru opens his mouth again "what about you old man!" says Akari with her hand over her mouth beginning to laugh "old man.., I'm only 18!" "pffffft 18 why is your hair the color of my dad's?"says Akari about ready to laugh again until.."huh,why is there mist?" Akari gets up and turns seeing haru gone"haru, this isn't funny!!" Akari then notices a shadow figure she's seen before a numerous of times "you, what do you want with me, why are you following me?" the shadow figure steps forward and speaks in a firm deep voice " you have something the boy likes about you and I have no idea what it is" he says while a hand reaches out of the shadow figure and soon a whole body of a beautiful young man comes out with short black hair and brown eyes with a armored outfit "w-w-what do y-you mean the boy has s-some likes for me and who are you?" the man stands tall over Akari and speaks sternly " I am the general of the Queen's palace the name is kai and I have orders to bring you to the palace because of the curse you have" Akari confused as ever questions him "palace,general,curse?!" he walks over to her still saying nothing with no emotion whatsoever "leave me be I can't leave now, not without haruko!" kai's eye squints in disgust but answers "I despise that man,he betrayed our people and you don't know the whole story if I'm correct" Akari looks at the kai tilting her head a bit "the whole story?" kai puts his hand out"You can get answers if you choose to come with me or if you don't I won't have any problem taking you by force" Akari flinches as she hears what he says and speaks without stutter " just answer this one question, is all those rumors true about the killings of my people in the village by haru?" kai's eyes Pierce at Akari and gives a simple answer "yes" Akari's eyes widen as she questions herself about why she trusted him but then right away grabs his hand as they disappear into darkness..."Are you sure I'm doing the right thing leaving him behind sir kai?" kai nods yes "I believe it's for the better you do what I say rather then to disobey, I will just say this once..that man is dead to this palace." "you always refer him to 'that man', why? kai doesn't answer instead he puts his hand on her waist and soon they are in front of the palace. And Akari see's that woman she saw before who was with the shadow figure also known as kai before she..."Hello, again peasent we have a bit to talk about" said the elderly woman "ahem, before we talk may I have you name Miss.." the elderly woman turns her back on Akari and so does general kai however a maid runs up to Akari "pssst, hello that women right there is queen ruesha but you can call her rue if you please she wouldn't mind...and that man is-" Akari cuts in "general kai.." the maid nods"so you met him, he is the trusted one of the queen and my name is maid yua!" Akari looks at the blossom trees in the gardens "...the meaning of binding love and affection..." yua nods while smiling still " exactly you seem to be smart!" Akari looks down still walking with the robe on her thinking about haru and what he was doing as of right now"your outfit looks a little dirty mind if I take that?" Akari's eyes widen and immediately she is overprotective"NO!" yua flinches but gives her a comforting smile and continues on ahead."yua I think she should be dressed properly and settled in a room before discussing with the queen"says general kai Akari continues to look at the blossems with tears down her face this time "agreed.." says yua looking at Akari so depressed after all she was homesick."miss Akari do you mind if you wear this silky dress instead of that robe.. I promise you can still keep it just change for now" Akari nods with a frown still and puffy eyes. "how does it look?" says Akari feeling the texture of the dress. Yua smiles and speaks"it suits you perfect!" Akari giggles and walks towards the mirror and then see's a glimpse of haru.. Akari turns quickly and runs to the balcony and eventually just blames what she saw because she was tired untill she turns to see yua tied up on the bed and haru next to the door "why in the world would you leave me I thought you trusted me.." says haru angry "how could you lie to me after I told you nothing but the truth!" Akari says walking towards haru "why are you here anyway!?" haru says grabbing Akari's shoulders tight" why did you have to leave me alone... I was finally not alone in the forest and had someone to trust me" Akari gives haru a sorry look and then suddenly the door opens and general kai is standing there "so we meet again after 3 years" says general kai with disgust on his face " So we do however, I'm not interested in this chat you started so I'll take my leave with this girl" continues haru while grabbing Akari's waist and backing up slowly" sorry to give you the news on short notice but she isn't leaving with you, unfortunately she has some business with your mother"Akari looks at haru and immediately backs up" queen ruesha is your mother!?" haru opens his mouth but Akari speaks again " what more are you hidding from me!?" haru stares at kai with hate "Akari I'll explain it all later but please come with me so I can gain your trust back, please!" Akari see's yua tied up on the bed still looking a bit worried "let me untie yua first and then we will leave!" says Akari running towards yua and unties her "please don't leave Akari you don't know what he is capable of!!" says yua worried for Akari "I need to go..he is my only way back home.."akari says while holding yua's hands tightly. All of a sudden there was a crash behind Akari, Akari turns and see's that both general kai and haruko are fighting!
