Akari is Shirayuki's bigger sister. She has always protected her. One day, she met the 2nd Prince of Clairnes's personal guard, Mitsuhide. She fell in love with him at first sight. Once Akari came to Clairines, she soon became Prince Zen's personal...
I woke up in my new room and I only have till tomorrow till I go. I saw on my bedside table a new set of clothes. I got out of my bed and then I saw a note on the clothes.
I hope these clothes are to your liking! I picked them out for your trip!
-Shirayuki
"Oh, they're from Shirayuki..." I said in a tired voice. Then I unfolded them to take a good look. It was a blue dress with a black jacket and then some thigh high black heeled boots. "Ok, but why would Shirayuki get me thigh high boots...? Well, the thought counts," I thought out loud. I put on the clothes and wondered where Luna was. She wasn't even in my sword. I already checked. I walked out of my door and Izana passed by with a smirk and I glared at him back. 'I knew he wasn't sorry at all!' I thought and kept walking.

"Princess, over here!" Luna yelled across the hallway. "Where were you?" I asked. "I was about to ask the same. You weren't in your temporary room, so I got worried," She said. "Yeah, and you look different," I mentioned. She was wearing guard clothes for formal events. "Yeah, this is my guard outfit to guard you. Zen gave it to me, like it?" She asked. "Of course, it looks great on you. Red and black suits you well," I said with a smile.

"Thank you, now I need to teach you how to dance, or do you know how?" She asked tilting her head. "Yes, I can manage dancing," I said. "Why not hand-to-hand combat?" She asked. "Oh, that's something I don't know well. Sure," I said with a smile. Then, we walked to where everyone practices their sword fighting. We stood about 8 or 9 feet. Then Luna looked at me with a glare. "Why you taller than me!?" She asked. "I thought you were gonna teach me hand-to-hand combat!" I said. "Sorry... Let's start. You need your legs apart not together like you have them now. I'm gonna teach you a roundhouse kick with an uppercut," She said. "What do you mean?" I asked. "Well, your gonna kick the person and uppercut them, not anyone else. Got it?" She asked.
"Yeah, Got it," I said. She had her legs apart then she spun around a little and kicked. "Let's see if you can do the first step. Copy what I just did," she said. I put my legs apart and spun around and kicked. "Ok, you did a great job on that one. Now, I want you to uppercut," She said. Then, I did an uppercut. "That was a good uppercut, Now try doing that to me," she said. "You mean to hurt you?" I asked. She nodded her head. "O-Ok..." I said and I spun around and kicked her leg and tried to uppercut, but she grabbed my arm and kicked my foot making me land to the ground. "What the hell, Luna!" I yelled. "Well, just make sure you do your uppercut faster," She said.
"Ok, enough training hand-to-hand combat, Let's use swords," She said. I went over to grab a wooden sword and she already had one. "Ok, ready?" Luna asked. 'One, I never sparred with Luna before. And another thing, I dunno how she fights,' I thought. I nodded my head and Luna ran toward me. I dodged her attack and got behind her and did a roundhouse kick, but she stopped herself from falling. Our swords started dancing for a while. I started blocking Luna. She was pushing my sword toward me and then I finally kicked her in the stomach hard and she fell. "Wow, you beat me. Your good," She said.
I then looked up to see it was dark. I did feel very sweaty too. "Oh it looks like I have to go back," I said. "Oh make sure to pack a ton of clothes. You're gonna be there for a week," Luna said. "A week!?" I asked in shock. "No one told you?" She asked. "No, oh my lord, I'm just gonna go..." I said and walked back to my room. I packed a ton of clothes, but I'm gonna be in these clothes for a while. Then, I heard a knock at the door, "Akari, it's Mitsuhide," He said. I went to the door and opened it, "It's been a couple days, How are you?" I asked. "Tired," He said. I smiled, "Well, I'm gonna leave tomorrow, so I guess this is goodbye..." I said disappointedly. I realized that I wouldn't see him for a week.
"Yeah, see you in a month..." He said and turned his back to and started going out the door, but I hugged him from behind. "Take good care of Zen, alright? Make sure this place is safe," I said. "I will," He said with a reassuring smile and walked out the door. I looked down at my feet, "How am I supposed to be without him for a week...?" I asked myself. Then I went to go put my pajamas on and went to sleep. I woke up the next morning and got my bags down to where the carriage was. I saw Lord Haruka, "What's going on here?" I asked. "It seems like Lord Haruka is will go along with us till we get to the border," Luna said. "Oh, interesting..." I said.
"Don't let us down, Obi. And you too, Luna," Mitsuhide said. "Yes," Luna said. "I won't either," Obi said. "Hey Prince Zen, do you have an object that you have on you I can take with me?" Shirayuki asked. Then, Zen pulled a pocket watch out of his pocket, "Will this work?" Zen asked. "Yes," She said and he gave it to her, "I will return it to you when I get back, thank you," she said. Then I looked up and saw Izana. 'Oh god, not him...' I thought. "Lord Brother," Zen said. "Don't worry, I'm just watching everyone leave," Izana said and he looked at me and smirked. I glared at him back. "Zen, Mitsuhide, Kiki, goodbye. Make sure the castle is alright when I come back home," I said. Mitsuhide hugged me before I left and Izana looked us confused.
I got into the carriage and so did Shirayuki and Lord Haruka. We road for a day and we got to the border. Then, we finally made it to our homeland and Shirayuki looked like she was so happy looking out the window. It made me smile. We got to the castle and Prince Raji greeted us and Luna and Obi were standing straight behind us. "I appreciate you traveling all this way, Shirayuki, and Akari. It's very nice to see you two again. How was your journey?" Prince Raji asked. "It was well your highness, thank you for the generous invitation," Shirayuki said. "Right this way, then," Raji said and went inside to the throne room.
Raji sat in his chair and said, "Please answer me something," "Yes, of course?" Shirayuki said. "Why on earth did you guys come here?" He asked. 'What the hell is with this dude, you invited us, dumbass,' I thought. "Prince Raji, she came here because you invited her," Raji's guard said. "I know that! I wasn't asking you!" Raji yelled. "We came because you invited us...?" I answered lifting an eyebrow. "Yeah, I asked you guys to the ball as saying thank you. After your guys' conversation in Clairnes, I felt like I was in your guys' debt for some weird reason..." Raji said.
"Prince Raji tends to be wishy-washy, as people say," His guard said. "What do you mean, I'm "wishy-washy"?!" Raji asked in anger. "He invited you for your guys' appreciation for the advice as well as his newfound humanity," The guard said. "Wait, What!? I was already planning to invite her!" Raji said. Then he acted weird then Raji asked, "By the way, who's the man and the... Wolf lady with you? I don't think we've met," "I was sent under Prince Zen's orders to protect Shirayuki for her safety, I am Obi," Obi said. "I'm Luna and I'm Princess Akari's personal guard," Luna said. "Princess Akari?" Raji asked. "Of the Moon Wolf Kingdom," She said. "The M-Moon Wolf Goddesses Princess, y-you mean the hero?" He stuttered.
"The last time the Moon Goddess was here, she let's say had a not so great time here..." Luna said. "Yeah, I'm the hero," I said. He looked at me surprised. "Yes... Well- I invited you guys, why not bore you. Let's go," Prince Raji said and led us out of the throne room.
