The Curious Play

She wore a white color dress that seems like a G.o.ddess under the moonlight, but its not about her fantasy its about reality and someone is chasing after her.

She runs in every tiles up in the roof, though she had a secret training on how to walked as light as a feather but this time she was being chased by the palace elites .

Those people were called "Chasers" and those they chased out were either had all their limbs and bones broken or worst dead.

Don"t you want to remember? she asked herself angrily. You might get killed as well before you could remember. ! by now she had to admit it was clumsy and stupid!

This tiles looks formidable! If I will fell down through it, I hope it won"t be in his Majesty"s chamber or else. .She couldn"t imagine the shock on his Majesty"s face if she would fell down right infront of him. 

The problem is she"s not famillar with the place and had a terrible sense of direction. This is west. ! No this is north. ! Where the heck is this?" She even lost track of herself.

She shook her head widely. The thought of it made her shivered in fear, by that time, probably, the next thing she might knew was, she already become a  A stupid headless ghost!

"Her she is" one of the chaser shouted. d.a.m.n! She was so destructed of the horror story she made by herself, it made her slow down. There were three of them, one is behind her and the other one is in the other side.

she did not pay much attention to him, even if he could grow a wings and jumped in her side he won"t stand a chance with out being noticed.

The one she"s worried is the last one, he"s suddenly disappeared when the moon hid behind the clouds, he was quick. As she jumped in another direction she saw a thin shiny lights that reflect through a glimpse of moonlight coming towards her. 

Wrong move! It was her reflexive response that made her bend and slid through the thin line of the flat wood between the roof, while maintaining her balance not to fall down. It was half and inch away from her face but enough to kiss her head goodbye if she was too slow. 

"No one lived with my blades kiss!" She heard the man said. the kiss of steal is sweet. . but the blades is fatal as venom!Kiss of death, they called it. When their blades cut your flesh, you"re already good as dead. she knew that long ago when her master thought her for the first time how to wields a swords. Poison!

"Unfortunately there is one now" though it was too close but what matter is she survived his first attacked. "I manage to stay alive up to now. . .

He chuckled. "I admit you"re the first but I will make you the last one" he charged, he is fast as a wind and as quick as a flash. She knows she could not stand a chance in defeating him in one on one combat. It will be a battle of wits and guts. .

I have to think of something! She remembered her master once said "If you meet someone you could not defeat, do one thing. ." What is that master? She innocently asked and waited excitedly. Her master coughed and clear his throat. She thought it would be some great moves. "Run fast!" After that there was a long silence as if they were trying to absorbed the words. . then the room filled with laughters.

She thought it was foolish but who knows one day she would actually end up doing it. She manage to dodge his attacked again but this time he maneuver quickly as he already knew she will do the same as before.

What he did not knew was she already calculated his next move, as soon as he lowered his attack she jump up, flip her body and catch his sword hand in surprised.

He drop the swords and tried his best to pull his hands away but instead he helped her lift her body up, and tossed her in the other side. As soon as they faced each other, she give him a hard pushed in his chest with her palm.

"Don"t worry it wont kill you!" 

One of his knee bend while trying hard to remain his balance. He is clutching his chest and gritted his teeth. Though that move was not fatal it"s enough to stop an opponent. 

"I just blocked your air pa.s.saged." That move called heart stopping."stay here obediently. .otherwise my next move will make you" she wave her hands across her neck as if chopping it.

"You!" He tried to stand up only to feel more pain. "Im going to make you pay for this!" 

"I will wait for you then. .but for now stay alive, I don"t want to fight a ghost. !"  She then flew back wards and wave him goodbye." See you!"

he won"t recognized me, he"ll be old before he knew it was me! she smiled. She does not recognized him either, As soon as the moon hid behind the clouds she already disappeared.

She thought that she was already safe but later, she found herself falling down through the hole again! her scream echoed in the deep silence of the night. 

As she was falling down, a sudden flashed comes to her, she saw herself in the same situation, the only difference is, this time she landed on the water instead of solid ground.

Her fall made a big noise from the splash of water. I can"t be in the water! She panicked and struggle hard to stand but the waves keeps pulling her down.

"You"ve finally come!" 

She stood stiff when she heard someone spoke behind her. She just managed to stand Ghost! She was about to run away when something cold touch her shoulder. Scared, slowly she turn arround. "You!?" 

"If its not me who else would that be?" His voice was grim and cold, it make her shiver even more.who would thought that someone would still awake and having a luxurious time playing in the pool in the middle of the night?

"Nonsense. !" She turn arround. you scared me to death idiot! She murmured under her breath."I don"t have business with you!" 

"So you"re disappointed!" There was a trace of accusation in his voice. 

"I didn"t knew you"ve been waiting for me all this time, tàizǐ diànxià. !" she bows and greet him. "Its my pleasure!" she rolled her eyes and turn arround.

"What if I won"t allow you to leave?" 

It was a threat that make her lost her temper."Try me!" He grabbed her in the shoulder. She turn arround under his arms and pushed him with her palm but he countered it with his own. 

He then catch her hands and grabbed her by the shoulder. He make her turn arround and press her back tightly against his chest. "Let me go!" 

She struggled hard but his arms was too strong." I will shout!"

"You can try" he said ignoring her. She was about to shout when he covered her mouth. Out of her frustration, she bit his hand and stamp his feet.

He let go of her out of surprised, she give him a flying kick when she turn arround but he dodge it with his right arm and hold it in his left, he grin. 

She frowned Pervert! She suddenly flip touched the side of the pool to gain her balance and make her stand up in the side. She smiled wickedly but she was caught surprised when he suddenly grab her legs and pull her down in the water.

"Don"t move!"

Her protest died when there is a loud bang in the door.

"Tàizǐ diànxià .  !"

"What is it?" He asked coldly.

"An a.s.sa.s.sin just broke out in the palace!"

He deliberately pinned her down in the water. "Oh.? whos bold and stupid enough to do that?"

no one as stupid as this one! He said angrily.

"That"s why were coming to search this place. we heard. .

"No need!" 

"But. ."

"No one is here. .all of you, get out!"

"But. .tàizǐ diànxià we. .we must. .

Stubborn as this one! "You dare to defy me?" He said in his cold evil voice.

"I dare not. ." The guard stuttered    "lets go!"

He pulled her up as soon as the guard went out. "you"re not afraid to die?" His tone was full of sarcasm.

"It"s none of your business!" She snap while trying to catch her breath."You just. ." She said while chooking "You almost killed me, whats the use of asking?" this evil!

"If I really wanted to kill you.. you won"t be standing here by now!"

Arrogant! "You dare?"

"Let see. ." He was about to open his mouth to call the guards back, 

Out of her panicked, she jump closer and kiss him in his lips with out thinking. Im already tired of running! 

The moment her lips touches his. .there was a sudden flash of memories that comes. .

She was wearing a red wedding dress and a crown in her head. .she was smiling brightly at the man beside her. .he kiss her pa.s.sionately. .a look in his eyes that she could not forget even a thousands of years will pa.s.s by.

She open her eyes slowly. .she saw that the man standing infront of her right now is the one who stood beside her long long time ago. .

then the door bang open.

"tàizǐ gē. .

Before she pa.s.s out,She just barely manage to change their posistion before Xiang Gōngzhǔ could see them in that state.

"What are you doing. ?" Xiang"er ask her brother in disgust. His lips was still on Ye"ers lips.

"Weey its not what you think. .

He suddenly back out.

"How did you know what I think?" She frowned. .pervert! "What are you doing here, then?" 

Women. ! were such a headache. .he muttered softly. "I. .I was. .!" He suddenly stop when he realized he doesn"t have to explain." Why would I have to explain.?" 

"Im going to bring her with me!" Xiang"er ignored him stubbornly.

"No. !" He snap."she"s safe with me!"

"Oh really?" She look at him suspiciously. she"s not even safe with you either. ! she thought, but dare not to voice it out.
