Prologue
"Lady Akemi,it's an honor to see you."said a tall man to Akemi,as she giggled.
"Please,Akio there is no need to be so formal,"giggled Akemi."What do you wish from me anyway?"
"Nothing huge,my lady.I just wished to see you,the most beautiful princess I've ever seen."
"Are you so sure of that,Akio?"asked Akemi,blushing.
"Yes I am."noded Akio,as he hugged her.Akemi blushed even more as she hesitatedly hugged him back,"I love you,Akemi.I truely do."
"I love you too,Akio,"said Akemi,laying her head on his chest.
Akio smiles at her and says,"I'm so lucky to be your protecter,"
Akio places his right hand under her chin and gentlely raises her head.Akemi lets him as she blushes.Akio slowly kisses her on the lips.Akemi slowly closes her eyes and kisses him back.Akio continued to kiss her as he places one hand on the back of her head and the other on her upper back.Akemi lets him as she puts her slender hands on his shoulders,still kissing him back.
Mean while,at a lake near the palace that Akio and Akemi were at,there was a woman trying to think of a way to win Akio's heart after all her past plans had failed,"Why does he love that stupid princess so much?I'm just as beautiful as her.What could it be?"The woman sighs and looks into the lake,"I wish he were mine.Akio,why do you love that wreched Akemi?"
The next day,Akio and Akemi went for a walk into the nearby village.The woman saw them and walked over to them,"Why hello Akio and Akemi,"said the woman politely,trying not to show her anger towards Akemi.
"Hello Natsuko,"said Akio.
"It is nice to see you,"said Akemi,bowing.
"Please,my lady.I'm merely a commoner.There is no need to bow,"said Natsuko.
"Yet you are a friend of Akio,are you not?"
"Not really,Lady Akemi,"said Natsuko.
"Oh okay."
"So what do you want,Natsuko?"asked Akio.
"I wish to talk to you,Akio,in private,"said Natsuko.
"Ummm.....okay..."said Akemi,looking at Akio,"But he is my protecter so I don't know."
"Don't worry,Akemi.I'll take you back to the castle so that the castle guards can protect you,okay?"asked Akio.
"Okay,Akio,"said Akemi.
"Can it wait that long?"asked Akio,now looking at Natsuko.
"Yes it can,Akio,"said Natsuko,turning away from them,"Meet me at the lake near the castle."
"Okay,"said Akio,as he turned to Akemi and motioned her to go forward.Akemi starts heading back to the castle,Akio walking nexted to her.
When they are out of ears reach of Natsuko,Akemi looks up at Akio and says,"I don't really trust her.Do you?"
"I don't,"sighed Akio,"But don't worry.I promise nothing will happen to you."
"It's not myself that I'm worried about.It's you that I'm worried about."
Akio's face went completely red.He looks at her and then quickly looks away,"Please don't worry about me,Akemi.I won't let her do anything."
Akemi looks up at him,gets in front of him,and kisses him on the lips.Akio kisses her back and puts his arms gentlely around her.Akemi breaks the kiss,"I hope you are telling the truth.I've heard that Natsuko is a powerful scorceress,"she hugs him,"Please don't let her do anything to you."
Akio hugs her back,"I won't,Akemi.I won't."
After Akio had gotten Akemi safely to the castle,he quickly headed for the lake near the castle.I won't let anything happen,he thought to himself,Natsuko will not put me under any spell.Natsuko sees him and walks over to him,"Why hello again,Akio,"she bows to him.
"Hi Natsuko.So what did you want?"
"I wish to know why you love Akemi."
Akio sighed and answered,"Love is the hardest thing to explain.One can just simply say that they just do."
"I see,"said Natsuko,as she peered into the water.She quickly hugged him,barely able to control herself.
"What the????"said Akio,as he quickly pushed her away,"What are you doing???"
Natsuko fell backwards to the ground and got herself back on her feet,"That was awefully quick,"said Natsuko,now smirking.She starts to chant an odd incantation that seemed to be in another language.Soon a circle of light formed under Akio's feet.Akio looks around not knowing what was happening.He then glares at Natsuko,who was just finishing the incantation,"Akemi was right!You are a scoceress!"
She smirks,"And it took you this long to figure this out?"
The circle of light disappeared and Akio feel to his hands and knees,"What did you do?!?!"
"I put a curse on you,"said Natsuko,still smirking,"Now you won't be able to be with that wench,Akemi."
"Why?"
"Because if you do,you'll turn to dust and never see the one you love again.And only one of my descendents or I can undo the curse."
"Wh-why did you do this to me?"
"Because I hate the idea of you and Akemi being together.I can't allow it."
Akio glared at her as she walked away and his vission started to go out on him.He soon collapsed to the ground unable to move.
Many,many years later,Lena wakes up and starts to get dressed for school.She soon got done getting dressed and ran down stairs to see what her grandmother wanted to talk to her about.
