"Yona-chan! Please stop running! You'll trip if you run like that!" A 6-years old girl with brown-black hair warned a 7-years old Yona.

"Don't worry Yuyuko-chan! I won't tri--Kyaa~!" The girl named Yuyuko, watched as the older girl trip. As if the time slows down, Yuyuko run towards Yona, catching her in time before Yona hit the ground.

Looking for any wound, Yuyuko sigh, "Are you alright, Yona-chan?" Nodding, Yona looked Yuyuko and saw a glimpse of blood on her knees, with that Yona begun to tear up.

"Ehh!? Yona-chan, does it hurt?!" Yuyuko asked worriedly, not noticing the presence of a black haired boy.

The black haired boy looked at Yuyuko and saw the blood on her knees. He took the chance and hit Yuyuko in the head with the other side of his spear. "Baka! Your bleeding! And your scaring Yona-hime too!"

"Ouch.." Yuyuko rubbed her head as she turned around, "Hak..." She trailed off. "Your knee is bleeding, Yuyuko-hime"

Yuyuko looked at her knees and smiled. "Nee, Yona-chan?"

The red haired girl looked up questioningly, ".... Your not going to die, right? You won't leave me, right? Your going to be alright, nee?"

Yuyuko's smile turn into a frown remembering her mother's words

'Yuyuko, I'm sorry.. I hope you would forgive me'

Yuyuko knew what her mother's trying to say. She doesn't want her mother to apologize to her, because she already knew whats going to happen..

Snapping out of her thoughts, she looked at Yona and Hak, who we're currently looking at the brown haired girl worriedly..

Smiling, she looked at Yona, "That's right Yona.. I'm not going to die that easily and I-I'll always be at your side... That's why Hak, Yona promise me that you'll always remember me, Okay?"

The two looked at each other smiling then looked at the brown haired girl, "Yeah, we're always be best friend"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. A dream? No, it seems more like a memory... But when? The only thing that I could remember was the time I was with father....Maybe th--

"Yuyuko! Yuyuko!"

Huh? Yona-chan..

"Yuyuko!"

I opened my eyes to see Yona-chan looking at me worriedly.

"Yuyuko-chan! Are you alright?" Nodding, I looked at Yona-chan and the bag next to her. Yona-chan seems to notice that I was looking at the bag and handed it to me.

"Yuyuko-chan, Father asked me to give this to you"

"Thank you, Yona-chan..."

"Your welcome, Yuyuko. I'll be going then, Bye!"

As I watch Yona-chan leave, I looked at the bag and curiously opened it. When I looked inside I saw a Red colored reversible Japanese knot bag. I quickly took my phone and my pouch with 20,000 yen in it, and solar charger, 3 packs of pocky, Make up and put it inside the bag. Searching for any material in the bag, I found a knife and kunai. Looking around the room, I saw a dress consists of a red skirt, a sleeveless red top with a white collar, tied with a yellow ribbon, and a pair of white detached sleeves which expose the armpits. I smiled and changed into the new clothing that I asked for. Walking towards the closets, I grabbed some of the dress and bandage, and put it in the bag. Grabbing the kanata at the closet, I walked toward the bed and hid it under the bed.

I sigh and walked out of my room to see Yona-chan running towards the Training ground of Hiryuu castle. I followed Yona-chan into the training grounds and saw King-Il and Min-soo standing at the balcony, while Hak and Soo-won are on the horses, playing archery.

Smirking, I jump into the balcony, and run towards Hak. "Hak! Let me join!"

Soo-won looked at me questionably then asked, "Do you think you can beat Hak?"

~Time Skip~

Standing at the middle of Hiryuu castle's training ground with Hak, who is currently smirking, and Soo-won, who is standing at the sidelines watching us.

Smirking, I looked at Hak, "I, Yuyuko, challenged you, General Hak on a duel!"

Everyone looked at me with shock/surprise expression. I sigh.. Of course who wouldn't be surprise, a 15-years old girl asking the 18-years old general and also the Thunder beast of Kouka kingdom for a duel...And of course It's also their fault, judging me by my look....

Hak looked at me and smiled. "Okay... I accept your challenge"

Thinking of a challenge, I smiled. "Okay then, This is a one-point match, and the prize will be decided by the winner"

"Okay, If I win you'll become my servant. Oh and I'm not going to get easy on you just because your a girl, a princess to be exact"

"Fine, If I win you'll also become my servant. And be merciless if you want"

Smirking, we shake our hands. "Deal"

"Wait!" We both turn around and saw Yona-chan running towards our direction. Panting, Yona-chan declared. "This fight interest me, that's why me and Soo-won will be the judge. Maybe this time someone will defeat Hak..." Hak glared at Yona making me giggled.

"Okay then..Ready...Get set..Go!!" Yona and Soo-won shouted.

I turned my attention back to the fight, "Now, where were we?" and with a quick flick of my hand, as if to say. "Come on." Towards Hak, the fight was on.

Hak rushed at me. He dipped and weaved right as he was about to reach me and slashed downwards with the sword. I parried with one of his gauntlets and the blade clashed against the metal strapped to my arms with a shriek that sent sparks flying into the air. Hak was quick and uppercut slashed at the hand to hand, attempting to catch me from stem all the way to stern.

I sidestepped to the right just enough and the blade passed a hairs breath from my face.

Quickly, before Hak could respond with a follow-up, I swiftly punched Hak in the solar plexus, knocking the wind out of the General, and stunning him for a brief moment.

The fight had taken me and Hak dangerously close to the edge of the training ground and I had my back almost to the wall, despite my counter offensive.

Hak was still open for more attacks though and I was not done.

I swung at him, but Hak made a back flip backwards. When he regain his balance, Hak ran towards me, but I slid under him in between his feet and pulled them from under him, making him fall. Hak jumped up and tried to elbow strike me, which I easily dodge. Hak threw punches and I dodge the swiftly and easily. I made a back flip and then came running at Hak. He made a guardian's block, ready to block me from hitting him. I smirk, That's not what I was going for. I jumped and put my arms on his shoulder, causing us to flip over, resulting me trowing him to the ground, while I am crouched at his stomach

The crowd watching our fight let out a collective wince for the man.

"That had to hurt." I said to myself. I looked down at one of my hands and noticed one of my nails bleeding. "Dammit! I broke a nail!" I exclaimed in frustration. I sigh and looked at the 'Judge'  as Yona declared, and notice their  shock faces. It seems that they really underestimated my skills. I shook my head and looked at Hak.

"Did I forget to tell you that I study Jujutsu and Kendo, well deal is a deal. You, Son Hak, will serve me as you serve Yona-chan! Please take care of me until then, Hak-kun~!"

I heard Yona-chan shout, "Yay~! Someone finally beat Hak!" I giggled and stood up, helping Hak in the process. Noticing Soo-won's presence nearing me, I looked behind and saw him smiling bubbly at me.

"Do you want to ride a horse with us, Yuyuko-hime? Do you want to come too Yona?" 

Nodding eagerly, Yona's eye's twinkled. "Yes!" I laugh as I watch Yona-chan get teased be Hak and Soo-won... I sigh 'Oh I wish time would stop for the three of them.. If only He didn't ruin the relationship that they had' I thought as I look at the three of them. After Hak help Yona-chan, He looked at me, "Wanna ride?"

I looked at Hak and smiled, "Hai!" 

Chuckling, He smiled. "You're weird... There wasn't a single person who was able to take me down so easily, that's why I respect you for that.. And let's fight another time, Yuyuko-sama" I looked at Hak, and laugh. "Haha.. I would take that as a compliment, thanks!" 

After our small talk, I looked at Soo-won and Yona-chan. "I-I'm about to be engaged, too you know!"

"Huh? To whom?" Shocked, Soo-won asked.

Yona-chan looked around, and smirked, "To Hak!" Hak looked at her with a suspicious look, while I stifled a laugh, 'This is nuts! For some reason I really pity him...' As if reading my mind, Hak give me menacing look before looking at Yona-chan.

I shivered before looking at Yona-chan, "Gomen, Yona-chan~! I'll get off the horse If you want?" Looking a bit annoyed, she smiled, "No, it's fine"

"That's great! Congratulations!" He said while smiling, I could only looked at Yona-chan with pity right now, I sigh and looked at Hak, "Let's go..." Hak nodded and walked away from them.

Time Skips~!

"You're so cruel Soo-won! To think he'd believe such a lie..." Yona-chan cried as her head collapsed in her arm with gloomy aura surrounding her. Sipping the tea that Min-soo poured, I watch Yona-chan cried in her arms.

"Your the one who's cruel and annoying.." Hak said, thinking the fact that Yona-chan tried to use her. I sigh and nudge Hak in his side, before sending him a -I-know-that-you're-jealous-but-you-still-like-it look. After getting what I mean, he shot me a I-don't-know-what-you-mean-but-say-one-word-or-I'll-kill-you looked. Nodding eagerly, I sigh and looked at the window and notice that it was raining..

"No... No! Soo-won is the one I-!" Yona-chan stated but was interrupted by King-Il with a cold looked at his face, "You can't be with Soo-won!" I was shocked, even thought I've already watched this part, I can't really imagine King-Il getting angry. 

Annoyed, Yona-chan stood up. "I don't want you telling me who my lover can be! I'm old enou-!" Yona-chan stated, the again only be, interrupted by King-Il. "Yona! Up until now I have given you everything you have asked for. Whether it be beautiful hair pins, earrings.. A villa, a flower garden and anything else except a weapon. But, it doesn't matter how many times you ask me, I cannot give Soo-won to you! You are the princess of Kouka Kingdom, the person who becomes your husband... Will become this nation's king!" I looked at Yona-chan and notice that her eyes become lifeless and her lips begone to tremble. I could only looked at Yona-chan with sadness. I looked at the window for the last time and notice how horrible the weather is.. 

'The betrayal will come faster that I thought... I wish I could help you but the future is already been decided'
