Chapter 30- Woman

Third person POV
As parts of the Clarines kingdom army had rejoined after small battles, many men had fallen dead, and quite many were wounded from the great warriors of Hyoushou. Although many of the men had fallen into a slumber of never awaking again, it seemed as if Hyoushou's Warriors were holding back from unleashing all bloodlust from hell. It was strange indeed since they were already mighty, but, no one can ever be safe in this territory. For they had come forth to the lands of an even more dark snow.

"You majesty Izana... O-over there! There's someone that has fallen (and can't get up! :p) on the further west rear!" Catching the attention of almost everyone from the marching army (of horses), Izana held up his hand to slowly silence the men of wonders. Although there was someone that was injured or possibly dead, they were in the enemy's territory, which means they can be attacked at any moment. Plus, the image of someone lying in the dark snow was barely visible, for they were very far.

Ryu, being the very curious one, he strained his neck to try looking at where all the attention laid. Suddenly, Ryu felt multiple sharp stabs to his heart. He froze and grunted in pain as the reins fell out of his hands. His breath of air turned into fog and Obi immediately turned around in shock and fear for the little buddy.

"H-hey, Ryu! What's wrong!?" Obi's voice was blurring out from Ryu's mind. His hand crumbled onto the place of his heart as he was catching the attention of the people who were near him. The whole gang, Izana and Raji were worried deeply, but their calls were only soundless.

"Ah... Ahh! O-obi..... T-the sleeping... person... Th-they need help!" With tears brimming Ryu's eyes, Obi and those who can hear him, questioned him. The whole army was disordered and questionable at this point.

"Hey Ryu! What are you talking about!? Are you sure you're fit to continue-"

"I'm not going back to Clarines! I can feel a calling of help from that person that lays over there!" Although Obi was still unsure, he believed in Ryu.

"Your majesty. I apologize for asking for more of a disturbance, but may I go check on the mysterious fallen one?" Getting permission from Izana and Zen, Obi, Mitsuhide, Ryu and a few soldiers went to investigate the collapse person.

For it had only taken a couple of minutes to reach the fallen one, for they were hurriedly riding their horses (Jean from Aot! Cough cough). Quickly glancing at the figure, it was clearly a mature and grown woman, even the long cloak and hood couldn't hide the gender. This truly shocked everyone indeed.

Jumping off from the horse, Obi quickly kneeled besides the woman and pulled her up to turn her front side of her body away from the snow. For she had collapsed onto her front side, into the freezing cold.

"Obi! Is the woman alive?" As the soldier called out questioning in slight terror, Obi checked her pulse from her wrist. He could barely feel the small beats to confirm her breathing existence.

"Her heartbeat is slowly decreasing... We need to-" Eyes widening in shock, everyone's attention within the small group had gone cannon bewilderment. For her hood had fallen to reveal a beauty with rare feature had struck them all hardcore.

"S-she has blue hair?!" Mitsuhide was the first to burst out into the questioning. All six males were memorized by her beauty and the shock. For an elegant and gorgeous (hot) maiden, they questioned her location. After all, the atmosphere is very dark and eerie, and war is about to break. Why would such woman be in such rotting lands?

'What is this... Her features look pretty close to Kiroyuki... Is this her mother!? Wait, no! This can't be her mother! Who is she...' Flinching, Ryu looked behind himself and saw the unmoving army, but he continued to feel uneasy. His uneasy breath clutched onto the dark atmosphere as his heart continued to ache, but fortunately, it was not as bad as it was before.

"Ryu! You're looking a little lightheaded...  We should-" 

"H-hey, um miss! You really shouldn't get off! Careful-"

"Kyaaa... Ow..." Looking past Mitsuhide, Ryu saw the maiden fall off the horse that Obi was on, as he failed to save her fall into the snow.

'She just randomly woke up without any warning...' Obi sweat dropped greatly and was about to help the miss up, but she managed to stand on her own. But, she had only managed to stand for two seconds flat.

"U-um... M-miss... Who are you? Do you know Kiroyuki!?" Already kneeling down into the snow with the woman in beautiful metallic blue hair, Ryu was quick to greet her in questioning. The sad thing was how he saw her eyes as broken stars.

"... You're a special kid, Ryu..." Gasping, everyone was shocked once more. Ryu was silent and fascinated to know more. He was curious to know the connection with and Kiroyuki. He needed to know.

"I'm sorry to displease this mood to anything, but we kinda have an army of men waiting here in the winter cold. We've already been here for quite awhile." The gorgeous woman scowled at Obi and took Ryu's hands.

"You have beautiful determination in your eyes. Eyes that shine brightly for the one they love... Keep that love for her strong. Don't let the evil take her, and you yourself shouldn't kill the bad when they show truth of good... To answer your questions, I am Crown Princess Hanayuki of Hyoushou from a century ago."

"A century!" All six males were shocked at how very young this fair maiden is. A hundred yeas is truly magnificent and ancient, after all.

"You said that you're waiting on your army, but now they're just riding in over here." Pulling up her large hood and closing in the sides of her cloak, Hanayuki stood up proudly yet mysteriously. The six males had also stood up and had their own individual thoughts of the current situation.

"Obi and Mitsuhide! Please explain yourself of your long absence... You there-... A woman?!" Zen's pupils were as small as pebbles as his hand was frozen in motion. For he kept his pointed finger at the woman, but his mind was over yonder. Izana raised an eyebrow and held a cold stare.

"Speak woman. Who are you to delay our army?" Unsheathing his sword, the tip of the sharp blade was pointed directly at her collar. Smirking, Hanayuki slowly pulled off her hood to reveal her metallic blue hair. Shocking the whole entire army, they all murmured in questioning. (The middle and back of the army can see her hair color bc its metallic blue and the atmosphere is dark and gloomy)

"I didn't want to attract more attention than what I needed to, but, let me help you fight this war." Obj want to step up in front of Hanayuki to block the intimidating blade, but he knew that it would just mess up things. He had to stay composed.

"Why should I trust you, woman. You've been wasting our time and you can easily kill my men." Hardening his glare, the sword glinted in the remaining light of the lands. Hanayuki had only continued to smirk more, which agitated Izana.

"Well, I too want to save Kiroyuki. She's my descendant after all!" Shocking Izana, he lowered the sword, but held held it right back up. His eyes still held an uneasy feeling and he has mixed thoughts about this. "Here. We have the same abilities. Mines aren't as potent anymore, but it's still in great use." With a flick of a wrist (lol), Hanayuki simply summoned a elegant and thin sword, made to be used for speedy attacks.

"Woah!/ I never knew summoning weapons was a thing!/ Wait! That means the young highness, Kiroyuki, can summon weapons too!" The chatter and murmurs had only increased, for Hanayuki's smirk still stayed painted. Izana had no choice but to sheath his sword.

"You better not drag down this army, woman." About to turn away from her, she faked out a loud cough and smirked again.

"The name's Hanayuki, your royal stuck-up! Izana' vein was about to burst, but he simply shook it off to keep his composed expression. Obi stared dumbfounded along with the whole gang. Basically, everyone was horrified and shock that this woman had the guts to speak such way to a prince. (This princess ain't taking shit XD)

"Hey kitty cat!" Obi sweat dropped. "I want to ride with you. I like your horse and you seem to have a good yet mysterious aura."

"... Sure?" Getting in the horse first, he helped pull her up onto the horse as Mitsuhide helped push her up. She wrapped her arms around Obi's torso which made him look back at her. Mentally, he was blushing his little behind off, but physically, he looked normal.

"What? I don't want to fall off the horse." With a face of dense innocence, Obi sighed and went back into place of the group alongside with Ryu. The army was now more organized despite the very little chatter.

"... U-um Miss-um-Princess Hanayuki! I um, have a question!" Turning her head to Ryu, Hanayuki held those tender, yet dead and alive eyes that one can see if they look into the soul of a heart. Ryu mentally slapped himself and sighed at his nervous heart. "H-have you met Kiroyuki before in the past?"

Smiling the smallest bit, Hanayuki nodded her head. "It was only once I had met my descendant... It was only in her dreams where I used my spirit to speak with her." Ryu nodded his head in understanding as Hanayuki hummed in thought and exclaimed cheerfully as she pointed to Ryu. "Ah! I remember now! While I was taking to Kiroyuki, I felt this weird presence next to her!" This creeped out Ryu and the gang who was listening in. "Although it was in her dream, I felt your presence through her! You must have been next to her when she had fallen ill!"

"Y-you can sense that?..." Nodding her head, Obi slightly looked back at Hanayuki.

"Hey, you also have 'Yuki' in your name just like Kiroyuki. What does Yuki mean?" Ryu too was curious to know.

"Eager one to know, huh little one! Yuki means snow! It's a tradition for those of the daughters who are gifted with the great powers! My name means snow flower! Kiroyuki's name was originally spelt Hiroyuki, meaning pervade, peace, child of wise calm, and harmony, but to make it more feminine, it was changed to Kiro!"

Obi liked the way that Hanayuki was able to help ease Ryu's mind. He felt like she already earned his trust even before they could have met. He was slowly learning more and more about Kiroyuki through someone connected to her.

"That's so cool! Oh! What about the the hair color?" With eyes that sparkle, Ryu sure looked like a changed person.

"Oh! It's actually super rare! Not even gifted daughters will get blue hair! Kiroyuki is the first in a century to get blue hair and to get gifted powers! She is a cutie and a fighter! She's super strong, right?" Closing her eyes, and showing an expression of fascination, Ryu too nodded his head.

"She's super strong! I remember she carried ten books all at once! She even carried boxed and boxes of heavy stuff!" It was as if the whole army wasn't even in the middle of war or in such dark territory. It was more like being somewhere more peaceful and beautiful, like a field of flowers and herbs or a landscape full of beautiful snow. It was a beautiful conversation of love.
----
"They deserve to be ripped and sliced into pieces! Hey! Go chase him down and murder him for me! He shall not escape!" With a blood covered sword that glinted from the lights of torches, a female stood there grinning in blood.

"As you wish my dear!" With a body of a fit and strong male, he swiftly caught up to the escapee and sliced his body in half. The blood was endless and their bloodlust was only growing. Oh how wretched this war shall be.
