The moment the princess walked into the room Kazuhito cursed his sisters in his head. They really had done it this time. What was he supposed to do? There were so many things he could do but each of them made her angry and if there is one thing heâ€™s learned over the years it is to never make a woman angry. Once they are on the warpath everything goes downhill. Straightening he took a seat at her request and smiled politely. â€œIndeed my lady, but how could I refuse a meeting with someone of your beauty.â€ The emotions relating to his previous thoughts were masked well. Another thing heâ€™s learned is how to put up a front without making it seem like there was one to give.  It is such a lovely evening my family and I could not help but take a longer ride to get here. This country is one of the loveliest weâ€™ve seen.â€ The look in his eyes showed how he admired the country and even how he made the connection to her beauty.<br/><br/>If he wasnâ€™t careful he would wind up digging himself into a hole so deep there would be no hope of escape. It was hard, she was a lovely woman but when he looked at her he saw his sisters which made things a little awkward but like before he didnâ€™t show it. The way he held himself and the way he spoke was all natural, he wasnâ€™t hiding anything, or so it seemed. How in the world had they set him up with this woman so quickly? This thought had popped into his head as well. It was almost as if theyâ€™d been planning this since they heard about going to the castle, the possibility that the princess had been in on it passed through as a possibility before being quickly shot down.<br/><br/>Out of the corner of his eye he saw the fire flicker and dance, he thought to stand and put more wood on it but dismissed this for the moment. It wasnâ€™t going to go out soon and if he did it might look like he were trying to escape the situation. Instead he crossed one leg over the other and leaned back comfortable, one hand resting on his lap the other on the arm of the couch. â€œI am curious as to this meeting. I must admit it is a bit of a surprise, how can you be sure it is safe to be with me?â€ a pause as he searched her face a moment, â€œthat is if I might be so bold as to ask.â€ The silence had been killing him and he was curious. In his brief talk with Jackson heâ€™d been told there was an attempt on the princessâ€™s life.<br/><br/>--------------------<br/><br/>Unable to take it anymore and completely bored Tsukiya got off his bed and walked out to the main meeting area in their quarters. The twins were busy doing their own thing and he was about to walk out the door when he heard a giggle from behind him. â€œLeaving without us.â€ The twins said in unison. Groaning Tsukiya turned to face them. They had put their books down and were looking at him expectantly. It was aggravating how they did that. One moment he could be doing something and he would see them doing something completely different when all of a sudden they were either at his side or staring at him. It always made him feel a bit guilty. Why, he had no idea, they were the older ones.<br/><br/>He had to admit they looked more like the girls here though with their western clothing. Theyâ€™d let their hair fall free which like Kazuhitoâ€™s went down to practically their knees if they had not put it up in a simple ponytail. It amazed him how they could look completely identical but have different tastes, most of the other twins heâ€™d known had been the same in every way, including tastes. When heâ€™d first met them he was shy and had no idea what to do. They had been the oneâ€™s to show him the ropes before Kazuhito stepped in and did his part.<br/><br/>Akemi and Akari both stood and walked over to their younger brother when they heard a cough behind them. Jackson was standing in a doorway and had a look of complete disapproval. He might not be a vampire but the look always made the three of them uneasy. He was the elder of them, not in actual age but in looks and he acted like it. In a way he was almost like a grandfather to them if they had a grandfather instead of a servant. â€œWhere do you think you three are going? Master Kazuhito has ordered me to keep you in the room, you are not to go anywhere while he is away.â€<br/><br/>â€œBut Jackson we just want to take a stroll, nothing is going to us, besides, Akari and I are quite capable of taking care of ourselves, Kazu taught us.â€ Akemiâ€™s face was a mixture of someone begging and someone with a bit of pride. Not a good mix but it made Jackson relent. â€œVery well,â€ he said, â€˜but I want you three back before sunrise, I donâ€™t want to have to tell master Kazuhito that you three had gotten yourselves into trouble.â€ The three vampires smiled and walked out. The first thing Tsukiya wanted to do was check out the different crypts if there were any, he was sure that would get Akari and Akemi off his back.
