The call of a stranger

the hour was late, and there was a loud comotion coming from within the royal 
house. a servant from the inner chambers of the younger prince had just come out 
screaming, awakening the entire household. The servant appeared in the 
bedchamber of her master, the king.

"Your majesty, The young prince has suddenly disappeared from his chambers!" the 
king sighed, and softly turned to his head guard. "bring him back alive at all 
means possible." the guard simply nodded and turned to leave the room. 
Meanwhile,  the whole house had wondered why they had been woken up in the first 
place.

a young man draped in the shadows of night, ran silently towards a unknown 
destnation.he slowly came towards an inn, where he felt that just maybe he 
wouldn't be found. most of the locals looked at the strange newcomer who had 
suddenly appeared. his face was hidden newly by hidden by the darkness. even 
though you could see a part of his face, he looked like like a assassin, a shady 
character.

 In one corner, a young woman with aurburn hair and a blue cape was quietly 
sitting there, disussing issues with another person,  but she was curious about 
the newcomer who had arrived,
 however he had approached the innkeeper and inqured about a room. he paid the 
man with a small pouch, an dthe innkeeper showed him to one of the master rooms.

when the innkeeper opened the door to the yong man's room, he smiled att him, 
"Is his all you'll be needing, Young master?"
he young man simply nodded and closed the door behind him.
he walked over to the large bed and collapsed out from tiredness, "os derit" he 
whispered sofftly to himself before closing his eyes and dozing off.

when the young woman notice the inn keeper returne she excused herself from her 
current conversation,
and swiftly approached the inn keeper." good evening martan and how are we on 
such a fine night?" she asked
" why i'm just fine my lady, how about yourself?" he said a bit quieter then she 
had.
" now now martan you know not to address me as my lady other wise it could be 
our heads" she whispered to him with a evil grin " please forgive me ma'dam.. it 
will never happen again i promise you" he replied with fear in his voice.
she gigled a bit and the kissed him on the check " don't look so scared martan i 
was only playing with you" she relpied playfully and all that martan was able to 
do was give a weak smile in returne.

" now martan, would you be a dear and tell me who that young man was  that you 
showed you to the master chambers?"
martan had woundered him self when the young man handed him the pouch all he saw 
were the gems and had ashered him to a room without even asking.
" i'm sorry ma'dam but i do not even now myself" he replied alittle scared that 
she might lose her temper wiht him.
" well the martan, what did he asy did he say were he was from or how long he 
woul be here for?"
" no ma'dam i don't even remember him saying a word" all he remebered was taking 
the gems from the young man.
"the how did you know that he wanted a room martan?" she said with a little 
force
" well i didn't... when i saw the gems he had handed me i asumed that he wasnted 
a room so i ashered him to one without question" he took a step back from her a 
little afraid of what she might do to him because of his reply.
" i see" she said, "i'll just have to find out tonight then" she whispered to 
herself as she turned away" which room did you give him martan" she said before 
begining to clim the stairs" the second ma'dam" he called out to her.

She slowly got up to the hallway and looked around for the second door. she 
tried all of them, untill one of the doors was unlocked. Thinking that the young 
man had been too tired to lock his door, she reached out for it and turned the 
handle.
when she entered, she noticed that there were only a few candles lit beside the 
bedtable. She creept over sneakliy and looked at him and realized that the was 
still wearing his cloak. curiousty got the better of her and she stretched out a 
arm to remove his hood.

his dangoure sense spiked up as he felt some one grab his hood, instantly he 
grabbed their arm and by spining around slightly he was able to pin the attacker 
beneath him, both of them falling onto the bed. his hood come off in the 
process.

she was in shock she never expexted him to react, but most of all she didn't 
expect to be moment beneath this stranger, at that moment all she was able to do 
was stair into his glowing hazel eyes. she was transfixed on them.
she tired to bak out the rest of his feature but the candle had been blown out 
in there struggle, she didn't knwo why but 
she could fell her hear pounding.

he coludn't make out the features on the attackers face so he deiced to keep the 
attacker emoblized
" ohw era uoy, dna tahw od uoy tnaw?" he asked harsly in his forien tounge.he 
felt a hand on the side of his face as the attacker managed to whisper something 
to themself, " i'm sorry i didn'-" he released his grip realizing that it was a 
woman he slowly got off  of her and took a few steps back away from the bed.

she felt him get off her, did he relize that she wasn't athreat to him after 
all, she didn't know why but for some reason she couldn't move she sort of 
wished that they sould of stayed like that for a few moments longer, she didn't 
know what but something about him, she wasn't sure, even thought she had been in 
a few similar postions she never felt like this.

Ash slowly turned his head away, unable to look at the woman. He only gave her a 
quick glance, and he blushed. The woman was still laying there, as if he had 
done something horrible to her.She blushed as well, before finally sitting up. 
"I'm sorry, But i didn't mean to disturb you." Ash just looked at her and 
sighed. "Who are you?" She opened her eyes in shock. "So you do speak my 
language?" Ash nodded and shrugged his shoulders. "As a matter of fact, i do... 
but i don't think that matters, now if you don't mind can you tell me who you 
are?" he said firmly still a little embaressed that he was on top of her " my 
name... its misty, what about yours?"  she asked him back "ashu- its ash" he 
said all most in a whisper.
he pulled his hood back over his head.

she got up off the bed and managed to find the small table to were he was 
standing she held a match in her hand and was about to lit the wic when he 
grabbed her arm softly "please don't you have already seen to much of my face"
he said softly to her in all most a whisper " but why " she replied kindly, he 
kept his head hidden "it to complicated"
neather of them had noice that the flame had crept up the match until it reached 
misty's finegers she winched in pain and dropped the match.

without noticing he lit the candle and grabbed her hand" are you ok?" he asked 
her.
" how did you just light that... i mean you didn't even use a match?" she asked 
a little shocked
he dropped her hand and took a step away from her his face stll hidden quiet 
well " it's compicated"
she closed the distance between them and ash stood  there transfixed on he 
saphire blue eyes, " but why?"
she whispered to him, while reaching her hands to un hood his head.

the candle glow was the perfect contrast with misty's pale skin, ash could feel 
his hood sliding off his head as he stood there stairing at the woman before 
him. his black silken hair fell to absrtuct his view as misty had finished 
removing his hood. she gasped with shock and ash backed away towards the bed 
replacing his hood back on his heaed " see i told you it was complicated" she 
walked towards him and he tried to move back forgetting that the bed was behind 
him, she grabbed his arm but was pulled down with him.
now this time she was of top of him, and her heart was begining to beat harder 
then had ever done before. her eyes  lingered in his for a while and she slowly 
reached out to touch his face again. Her breath was taken away by his eyes. Ash 
however, looked up at Misty uncertainly. Hes over heret didn't like the 
predicment that he was in, but then again, he couldn't move. If it had been that 
there was a spell just casted over them. Misty slowly pulled away the hair from 
his face and saw his ears. She whispered softly, "... Your elven..." He tried to 
hide his ears and looked away. "Please don't tell anyone" She nodded and slowly 
brushed her hand though his hair. ash meet her gaze and gave a weak but thankful 
smile. she brushed her finger slowly across his forhead removing any lose 
strands that had fallen in his view "your ....perfect..." she whispered softly 
to herself, before she lent forward and kissed him softly he place a hand in the 
small of her back drawing her closer to him and withing moments he had reversde 
their poistions so that he was now on top of her.

the very touch of him sent a unknown wave of sensation down her back, the sound 
of breaking glass out side had dispelled the illusion hat was cast over them and 
brought them back to reality, he quickly broke the kiss and got off of her, " im 
so sorry i don't know what can over me" he whispered to her.
she felt some what disappointed that nothing else happened, but was also glade 
at the same time she hardley knew the man, she got up off the bed but her legs 
gave away on her.
Ash had  managed to catch her before she hit the floor, " are you ok?" he asked 
a little puzzled" i'm fine just a little tired that all" she said
 he held her in his arms them placed her back on the bed he turned from her and 
ent to walk off " wait" she said softly, she beckond him to come closer to her.
" will you lay next to me for a bit just till i doze off please?"  he gave a 
little nod then climbed onto the bed next to her.

she took off her cloack to reviel a silm and appeling figure and moved a little 
closer towards ash before dozing off, he let out a little sight and puled the 
blanket over her tempting body, " i don't - well-" he began before dozing off as 
well.

Ash woke to the sound of  soft knocking on his door " excuse me young master" he 
spoke softly " what is it" ash replied half asleep " i'm sorry to have desturbed 
you  but breackfat is about to be served " martan called "understood i'll bet 
down in a few minutes... thank you" he repilied a little coldly.
aas ash tried to get up he could feel ectra weight on him.

He looked over at her and smiled softly.  she smiled back and slowly got off of 
him the both went down stairs to the common room ash found a seat in the croner 
where misty soon joined him with a small bowl for both of them, misty had notice 
that ash kept his mind on making surehis hood was on right.
the door to the inn flung open and nearly every one turned there head all but 
ash who had his back to the door, 3 handsome young elven kights stode in, and 
instantly all the women in the room were over them the inn kepper showed them to 
a set.
" is there any thin that my young lords may need?" he said
" nothing as such, just some wine please" one replied, young martin looked a 
little shocked. they were men not much older then himself and they  were going 
to drink this early in the morning" tis it not to earl you lords?"  he asked a 
little hesentaly, " tis not for elven men such as them sir" ash stated still his 
back to them.
" tis what he say's" replied the blond hair elven " tis rare for a man as young 
as you to know such thing about my kind, you must be a great scholar prehapse?"
he said a little interegde by the young man who had his back to him  " i thank 
you for the compelment but i am not...may i ask what bring young knights such as 
yourself to this town?" ash said softly " tis our current mission"said the brown 
haired elven, before he got to his feet geeting every ones attention " our 
prince has gone missing and it is our job to find him" he said while producing a 
picture from within a pocket under his cloak " May i have your attention please 
every one... tis of grave importance tha our prince is found, prince Ashura 
satoshi ketchum, hire to the throne went missin last night we would like any one 
wih information to step forward" he spoke loudley
misty's eyes widened as her view fell upon the picture.
the night sat back down and glance over to ash's was " sir i think that there is 
something that i want" martin walked over to him " what is my lord" he said 
" the company of that young lady over there" he stated pointing to misty " but 
my lord-"  " do it yourself mitsumi" the blond hair stated to his brown haired 
comanion
" fine i will, nathin" he spat back mitsumi again rose from his seat and walked 
over to the pair in the corner and pulled up a chair to join them " well good 
morning my lady how are we to day?" he said softly " i was doing fine up and 
till 5 minutes ago when you's walked in" she spat back at him " well wel, my 
firey red head, do we have a name for you that suits you temper? he asked 
sarcasticly. " i do but  tis not worthy of you knowing it" she replied coldly " 
now now, i don't think that a whore should act so displeasing to future 
customors"  misty went to hit him but ash caught her hand a mer inch away from 
the nights face, which made him laugh. 
" this whore has spirit nathin, she'l prove to be-" 
" it would be best for you to hold your tongue young night don't you" ash said 
bitterly " it is not right for a elven night to speak of such outragouse thing"
"what would you know about us elven nights" she said getting to his feet, his 
hand going straight to the hilt of his sword.
ash got to his feet and turned to face him, " because-" he whispered before 
removing his hood " am i not you prince?"
the room was filled with gasp, natin got to his feet and bolted to his 
companions side before kneeling in front of the prince
" please forgive us young master... will you please come back with us to the 
palace your mother has fallen ill since  find out of your disapereance"
 an image of his mother ill in bed came to mind. "emoc" he said to misty as he 
grabbed her hand once putside he saddled a newly brought hose, he lifted misty 
up into the saddle before he sat behind her, as small whisper left his moth and 
the horse was off the night not to far behind.

ash burst through the main gates of the palace turning the royal house in to 
even more dismay he quickly dismounted and helped misty do the same beofre 
grabbing her and an walking off to were his mother chamber was, stopping at 
hisown first " it's be best if you waited in here away from al the stairing 
eyes... i do not want to to feel unwelcome" misty nodded and stayed in his 
chamber while as walked down the hall to his mothers chamber, he slowly opened 
he door and went to his mother side and held her hand while she lay there " your 
home my son... i was woried about you" she said almost in a whisper " i no 
mother i am sorry to have worried you with such, i should of told you that i 
craved a few days away from here it was foolish of me to have made you in this 
state you are now please forgive me" he said on the virge of weeping " tis 
alright my son i beg you to continue you trip and rest for a while before 
returning to you duties here" he whipered to him closing her eye.
" i will mother but when you are well, then i wil depart again" he said kissing 
her forehead before leaving her to rest.
ash slowly walked back to his chamber were he found misty  investagating his 
room. " did we find anything of interest my lady" ash said jokenly
" of course i did my lord" she relied jestingly " and may i ask what that is?" 
he ash sounding a little amused " why tis you my lord that i have come across as 
the most interesting thing here" she said playfully as slowly crossed the room.

ash noticed the advancement and instantly closed and locked the door, he's 
action catching him off  guarde, misty  pushed back the hood he had been wearing 
while riding back to the palace, his silken hair falling to obstract his view.
she undid the his cloack, it dropping to the floor, she did the same to her own 
cloak to reveal the bule dress in which she wore. ash strode over to the window 
shuting out all the light and with a simple click of his finger the room was 
dimly lit by a few candle, misty was unable to see her eye still not used to the 
small amount of light being produce she tried to walk a few feet in front of her 
but didn't notice that ash was to far from her, she tripped over him causing 
both him and her self to fall backwards.
 
yet again ash had found himelfs spralled out on a bed with this enchantress 
ontop of him, ash pulled one os the strings to her dress losening it before 
slipping out from beneath her, leaving her emobilized and near breathless ash 
walked over to a small table in the corner pouring a small goblet of wine he 
walked back over to misty, he took a small mouthfull of wine onl swalowing half 
of it he placed the goblet on one of his side table as misty had crawled over 
the bed to be near him he slightly lifte her chin, and pressed his lips onto 
hers, she could tasted the wine as both it and his tounge entered her mouth, a 
small trick of the wine ran down the mide of her mouth and ash wipped it away 
with his thumb as he cuped the side of her face and with the other hand he 
pulled on anther string sto that the dress would fall to the ground leavinf her 
in juthe past her almost transperrent undergarments.

she could feel her heaert beat faster as her dress fell to her side, she placed 
one hand on the back of his head and the other was begin to undo the buttons 
that kept his clothes in place, still on his bed she got to her knees and 
frocefully removed his shirt, taking in his athletic build, she relized that her 
body was beging to crave his.
she broke the kiss and layed back on the bed, as her crawled on top of herhe 
prissed his lips onto hers as began to drag her undergarment up and his hand 
slid up her thigh,after managing to get a grip of himself ash broke the kiss ans 
fell to the side of her still cradeling her in his arm.
she turned oh her side still in his embrace "why" she asked him as she pressed 
her lips onto his " because i shale not let my lust get the better of me though 
at a time like this i wish it would" he replied to her " you are a gentalmen my 
lord" she said seductively, she climbed ontop oh him, her silken undergarment 
caressing his bare skin
adding more fuel to his lust, putting his hand on the back of her neck pulling 
her into a savage kiss. a horn sounded 3 times indercating that dinner was merly 
half and hour away from bring servied, ash released his embrace and got up off 
the bed he walked over to his wardrobe and found hiself a suiiable shirt to 
wear.
he picked up mist's cloak and re secured in around her. " gipsy are you there 
child" ash called out, a young girl emerage from a door on the far side of the 
room.
" yes my lord" she whispered shyly " will you fetch my sister for me and two of 
her best serving ladies" he commanded, he bowed her head and gave a little 
curtsy before running off to do her job adn with in moments his sister stood 
before them " brother were have you been you turned the house into dismay with
