It was early in the morning and sun hasn't peeked its head up over the horizon yet. I was still asleep until I felt two firm yet gentle hands on both of my shoulders shaking my sleeping body. I started groaning in my sleep waking up slowly.

"What?" I yawned.

"Come on sleepy head, its time to get up. We're about to head out." Hajime spoke softly. Letting me go so I can sit up stiffly, groggy and clearly did not have the best of night sleep, damn you nightmares. I yawned while stretching and bones in my back, both shoulders and my neck cracked and popped god that hurts but damn it feels good.

"How you feeling?" The Dragoon asked because of the thoughts from last night clearly still fresh in his mind.

"I am fine, I'll live. I'm used to nightmares like that I get them every so often." After blinking a couple of times I noticed the Prince wasn't in the room which was disconcerting. "Where's Leon?"

"O he is downstairs talking to Juniper I suspect."

"Oh okay. Well give me a little time to myself so I can get dressed and I'll meet you downstairs."

He nodded his head grabbing his sword and armoured cape. I just watched him get ready and smiled weakly while blushing. Its like he had eyes on the back of his head because Hajime turned around lightly touching my burning cheeks. With my surprise the man kissed my forehead and then rested his forehead mine which in instinct I closed my eyes.

"Take your time alright Ares?"

I silently nodded my head.

A few moments has passed with us just being in this position and then Hajime smiled sweetly and head downstairs.

I sighed heavy sliding my fingers through my messy red hair. I stood up to look at myself through the mirror and smiled the medicine actually worked the bruising is almost completely gone and so was the soreness. When we get back to the Castle eventually I'm gonna have to say thank you to the doctor.

I pulled the night gown up and over my head until I am in nothing but my undergarments. Black panties with the straps resting on my slightly thick hips and a strapless bra. thick hips, lean and tiht belly with big boobs Gods I look like a freak but I wonder what Hajime would say if he saw me like this...what? My whole face went blood red covering my face with my hand and bend down. I really have gone nuts, why...why am I having such thoughts of that man a Dragoon of all creatures.

I picked myself up from the crouching position I'm in, sighed once more then went grab my armour out of the dresser.

Thirty minutes of putting my armour on, my boots on my feet, my thick belt around my hips then last my cape around my shoulders which flowed all the way down to the floor.

While walking down the wooden steps I was putting my long wavy hair into a sideswept braid. I turned the corner with the sight of my best friend Jun have a nice conversation with Leon and Hajime so I just cleared my throat to get their attention which I got.

Jun smiled. "Hey sleepy head, took you a long time." She playfully complained and laughed.

I scoffed folded my arms around my chest. "I didn't take that long Jun." I smiled. We both started laughing in unison. My laughing stopped when Hajime walked up to me checking my neck out smiling and nodded his head.

"Good looks like your doing much better."

"Well thank you very much for the professional analysis of my neck Doc." I folded my arms and shook my head and smiled. My eyes went over to Jun who was smiling and mouthed 'he likes you.' My cheeks burned red then I cleared my throat backed away some. "Come on before someone figures out who I am."
