She stared at him for a moment, then upon hearing the footsteps she looked over at the door. "<span style="color: #FF80FF">So, rumor has it that the Prince is getting married to a Princess.</span>" one of the girls stated, a couple of them giggled. "<span style="color: #FF4080">I wish he'd have chosen one of us.</span>" one spoke up and fanned her face as if she were warm. Another piped up with a rather annoyed tone and said, "<span style="color: #BFFF80">Yeah, like any of us stand a chance with royalty.</span>" One just simply remained quiet and walked along with them. She had blonde hair and brown eyes and her complexion was an even tan.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #BF0000">H-Hana?</span>" Kage said softly and looked at the girl. "<span style="color: #BF0000">It can't be her...</span>" she said softly then got down and ran to the door and called out as they walked by, '<span style="color: #BF0000">HANA?!</span>" She said looking at the girls.  The blonde girl turned and looked at her. Her eyes widened and she ran up to her, "<span style="color: #0080FF">Kage! What are you doing here?</span>" she asked and hugged her.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #BF0000">I thought you were dead.</span>" she said, and tears were evident in her voice. She couldn't believe it. Maybe she wouldn't be so alone after all. She still missed her mother though. Her dreams would come true if only her mother were still alive...<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #0000FF">The death was only my cover. I had to get way from him. He was horrible. I'd had all the beatings I could take. I came to this side and life has been much better. they're respectful and caring. Oh, OHHH!!! Is it true, Kage?</span>" she asked looking at her with wide eyes. "<span style="color: #0000FF">Is it true that you're marrying Prince Xinyi? IT IS ISN'T IT?!</span>" Hana Practically squealed in delight and hugged her tightly. "<span style="color: #0000FF">You're wearing the nation's colors, and you're wearing a really nice dress, it has to be.</span>" She said and the other girls stood there staring with mouths wide.<br/><br/>Hana seemed way more excited for the rumored elopement of Her and Xinyi. She wanted this more than anything and Kage looked around at Xinyi, her facial expression was clearly flustered and begging for his help. For the first time she found herself speechless and unable to reason anything out properly. Her eyes were what got his attention the most. She had clearly taken all she could take for one day.
