Re: Love in Winter (Ilona x Takegami -CLOSED-)

[Guest]

Ilona gave Matthias to the care of a servant to walked in with Takegami. She then helped him in her armour...She then leaned her head on his shoulder..
"Whats happening..It's just so confusing..."

[Guest]

Takegami got into his armor, Ilona aiding him, handing him piece by piece as he put it on. When she handed him his katana, he simply placed it on his side, and took in a deep breath to calm himself. He shook his head, trying to understand the situation himself, but had no way to explain it all to well.

"You all will go on without me to the ships. I have some preparations to make before i get there. I assure you, i won't be far behind."

He pulled his long hair out of its ponytail, and began to comb it, keeping it nice and straight.

[Guest]

Xan wanted to make sure that Take meant that everyone would be leaving without him.

So, do you want me to remain here with you and help with whatever you have in mind, or would you like for me to accompany your wife and child? Either way is fine with me.

Xan leaned against a wall to wait for Take's response.

[Guest]

Ilona took the comb from him and started to comb his hair herself.
"It's so long, it was so short when I first met you..I think you should keep it that way.."She tried to keep a cheerful voice but was obviously upset that she just got her husband back is now leaving again..How long is this going to last for..?

[Guest]

Takegami laughed slightly at Ilona's comment, and sighed happily, hiding his disappointment in leaving again. He then looked over at Xan, and smiled slightly.

"Please, go with them, something may happen. I'll be right behind you in no time."

[Guest]

Xan shrugged, then he nodded.

Alright, I'll guard them with my life. Or should I say, with my lives?

Xan didn't really think that anything outside of this manor would be after them, but still, it would be good for Take if he knew that Xan would take good care of his family. It would hopefully leave him free to worry about bigger issues.

[Guest]

Ilona then untied her hair and tied Takegami's hair with her signature red ribbon. She took a step back and was satisfied with her handy work.
"For good luck.."She said with a quiet voice, her hair now down to her waist.

[Guest]

Takegami sat infront of a mirror on his knees, as all samurai do before battle, and bowed to himself slightly, praying to the heavens for good fortune. He slowly arose to his feet, and turned towards Ilona and kissed her lightly as thanks.

"Thank you. You three should get going, i want to leave before the sun rises, or we'll surely be attacked."

[Guest]

She silently nodded and walked away. If she stayed any longer with her husband, she'll find it harder to leave him..Ilona walked towards her entourage of lady in waitings and took Matthias from one of them. She then turned to Xan and nodded, indicating that she was now ready to leave.
"Goodbye for now..."Ilona said in the most tiniest whisper.

[Guest]

Xan walked outside and saw the armored Humvee waiting for the royal family, as well as several other humvees that would act as an escort. He smiled, pleased that him men had gotten here so quickly. He got into the passenger seat of the main Humvee and waited for Ilona and Matthias to enter. When they did, the Humvee would take them to the port where the ships would await to take them to Takegami's island.

Sighing, Xan said three words to himself before Ilona and Matthias could get into the car.

It has begun.

[Guest]

Takegami sat in the house, alone, before someone walked out of the room before him. This person was Reita, who carried his usual warm smile. Takegami knew this warm smile was nonthing but something that drew people into his trap and sighed slightly.

"Well, Takegami, you know the rules of war. Spare noone."

Reita suddenly faded away, and Takegami was stuck standing there alone. He turned around and walked out into the freezing snow, before whistling. It was silent for a moment, untill, a sound of lightning could be heard approaching him. Suddenly, a horse came running out of the darkness, each step it took sending a small wave of electricity and snow into the air. It stopped before Takegami, and he hopped on, taking off after the vehicles. The guards who were with Ilona, Xan, and Matthias, asked where Takegami was, and the other guard simply replied by rising his head slightly as to look up. Suddenly, Takegami appeared leaping over the car, laughing evily, taking off ahead of them, his blade in his hand, and his other hand holding onto the reigns of the all white horse decorated in a fine saddle and harness.

The images of war, the leaders of each faction, and Matthias and Ilona each flashed through his mind, and he simply made his horse travel faster. He was out speeding the vehicles, and he heard a faint voice whisper into his ear. This voice told him that a new dawn was coming forth, and it only made him slender his eyes in determination. The time for him to rise to the top was now, and he would ascend the ranks of the nations hitlist untill he and Xan were the only two supreme leaders. He had a vision of peace, and he would ensure that vision was seen across the entire nation.

"The time has come..."
