She's That Knight Known As Zero

"She had just fallen asleep, your highness," Raven replied respectfully.

"Oh," disappointment visible to his tone, "Then I"ll just return tomorrow."

"I don"t think you would be able to meet with her by tomorrow, your highness. Please give her a month," Raven answered once again.

"But, that"s too long," Akihiro replied.

"Your highness, you are the king. If you want me to wake her up it is still up to you."

"Then-"

"But do please understand. You once said you treat her as your daughter. Seeing as how you are disregarding her well being only means that what you need from her is far more important to you. Seeing as how even Kaoru and Queen Haruka is involved then it only means that the matter you want to resolve is something not just important to you but to the kingdom as well."

"Eureka had been working hard, no not just hard but very very hard where she could only rest when her body"s already at it"s limit. Are you going to tell me now your highness, that I must wake her up despite her body in tatters?"

"No, I didn"t mean to."

"My father would kill me for talking in such a way to you. But she was the one who taught you to be the king, and yet I"m starting to see that you really can"t be a ruler and a father at the same time. When you"re a ruler, you disregard your family. But when you"re a father, you forget that even your people have lives. Eureka is the same, she"s not a robot who could keep going just because she said she would. I"m sorry your highness, for saying such disrespectful words," Raven finished, after speaking with Eureka he just wanted to tell everyone who she is. But he couldn"t cause she didn"t want to as well. And he could only respect her decision.

She is obviously hurting but she can"t even complain about it. She had to carry so much and there is no one beside her who could carry it with her.

"No, you"re right. I"m starting to lose sight of my surroundings once again. Once I focus on one thing I forget the others. I"m sorry, I"ll wait for a month then," Akihiro replied. He was once again hit straight in the face with how incompetent he is.

"Then please task someone or you can task us to call for her by then. You are our king, your highness. You don"t have to go out of your way just to pick up some knight. I know the reason why she had decided to sleep is because she knows that she still have time to finish what she had told you she will do," Raven replied.

"I wonder why I always forget that I am a king when I am in front of all of you. *chuckles* Then I shall ask Dai to pick her up in a month. Thank you for reminding me something important," Akihiro replied smiling. He was once again impatient and forgot so many things that was taught to him.

"And Raven," he just turned around to leave when he once again looked back at him upon remembering something.

"Do you love her?"

Azusa was completely stunned by this sudden question. She didn"t expect for the king to ask the question that all of them have in their minds.

Raven furrowed his brows before replying, "If you are referring to a love that a man could give to a woman, then no your highness. I don"t love her, but I do treat her as a precious friend."

"Hmmmm I see, very well then. I shall be on my way once again," Akihiro replied. But his voice sounded unconvinced.

Azusa and Raven bowed down as they watch him leave.

"How about their training if Eureka is to sleep for a month?" Azusa asked when Akihiro have finally left.

"Eureka instructed me on what to do by then. Don"t worry just as what I said a while ago, she wouldn"t sleep if she know that it will endanger other people"s lives," Raven replied.

"I see," Azusa stopped herself. She wants to know if what Raven really felt for Eureka is nothing but friends. Cause whatever she sees, whatever the others see, is not the same with how a friend would watch over another friend.

The two of them never left the house until the week have pa.s.sed. Burst of energies have came out from the other six at the same time. They had difficulties the same way as Raven, but after hearing what they need to do. They were able to defeat all the consciousness they are facing. And all their wounds have healed.

They are just grateful at how much they have focused on every training Eureka have taught them. If they didn"t do their best back then, then defending and dodging wouldn"t be as easy while absorbing the ones surrounding them.

"I though I was gonna die. That ocean was too big," Feena said as she woke up.

"The rocks are too much as well. It felt like eternity before I was able to absorb everything," Karen commented.

"Same goes for me," Mamoru added.

"I thought I would be shredded," Hideyos.h.i.+ said as he touched his body as if checking if everything"s still intact.

"The terror, indeed the terror," Theo said as he placed his arms around Hideyos.h.i.+"s shouder.

"At least all of you have finished your training and are alive," Azusa happily said.

Seeing their pained looks caused her pain as well. She couldn"t do anything other than being beside them. And that added to the pain she is feeling. She hates how much she couldn"t help.

"You being there is more than enough, don"t look like it was your fault," Mamoru knowing what is running on her mind, flicked a finger on her forhead.

"That hurts," Azusa complained as she glared at him. Mamoru just chuckled.

"Where"s Eureka anyway?" he then asked as he felt daggers coming from Theo and Karen.

"She is asleep," Raven replied.

"She wasn"t here at all?" Feena asked.

"She was here until a week ago. She just needed to rest so she have instructed me of what to tell you once you reach the final part of this training," Raven answered as he started walking up.

"Come to think of it, we haven"t been out for a whole year now. I wonder what are the changes?" Karen asked realizing that they have really finished their training and that they can finally come out.

"About that, the king have tasked us to go straight to the castle once all of you are done," Azusa replied.

"Then we weren"t even given a vacation?" Karen pouted.

"King"s orders Karen," Feena reprimanded as she slap Karen"s mouth, "And stop pouting, it doesn"t suit you."

"That hurts, you devil. I"m jut wondering," Karen complained as she hold her lips.

"Do we have to go now?" Hideyos.h.i.+ asked as he yawned.

"No, we can rest for now. Go on and sleep. Despite your bodies recovering on its own, you still went through so much that even your mind would be tired," Raven replied as he went ahead to the rooms himself.

The others followed as they really are tired. The battle went on for too long, that they won"t deny the fact that they really are very tired.

*****

"I thought I ask you here once you have rested?" Akihiro asked as he look down on all seven of them.

Their rest was supposed to be just for an hour or so, but in ended up for three whole days of sleep. Even Azusa and Raven never thought their body would want to sleep for that long.

"We apologize, your highness. We didn"t mean to take so long before appearing in front of you," Raven was the one who answered.

"*sigh* There"s nothing that could be done. That only shows that you really are tired. Now I"m not going to beat around the bush. The reason why I asked of you is to know the outcome of your training. Eureka have already told me that one of what you"d get from this training is an ability weapon, I am curious about that," Akihiro said.

They all looked at each other and brought out their weapons from their hands.

Raven was the blade with blazing fire within it. Feena is a water whip, but the water has the clearest look they ever saw in a water. Hideyos.h.i.+ have a sword with wind blowing within it. Theo have the bow and arrow. Karen have the sword with mountains carved in it"s blade. And Mamoru have a spear, with vast land carved on its handle.

Akihiro nodded approvingly, he could feel the energy that their weapons are emitting. It is obviously far different from the ones they are usually using.

("But I need them to really take care of those weapons. They must not take those weapons for granted, that would be too dangerous.")

He suddenly remembered Eureka"s words when she was explaining what the training could give them.

he thought as he watch them marvel on their weapons.

"I can only say, that you must take good care of those weapons. Treat them as if your life depends on it," he warned taking note of her words.
