Kotone. Someone so beautiful and kind she's considered too pure for this world. People all over have heard of her and consider her a myth. Yet there are certain others who have had the pleasure of meeting her and been graced with her help. Koton...
-3rd pov- It was the day after Elizabeth and Meliodas had encountered that Twigo guy and they were in their way to Vanya. Elizabeth had noticed that Meliodas had been deep in thought and wondered what he was thinking about. "Meliodas-sama is everything okay?" Elizabeth asked with a worried look on her face. Meliodas stayed quiet and looked ahead in some sort of trance. "Meliodas-sama?" Elizabeth called out to him a second time slightly louder. Meliodas snapped out of his trance like state and turned to look at Elizabeth with a wide smile on his face. "Oh Elizabeth what is it?" He asked her with his usual happy tone. Elizabeth approached him slightly and asked him,"Is everything okay?" Meliodas laughed a little and grinned at her,"Yeah, I was just thinking about someone who could help us find the rest of the sins. Well that is if we find her.." Elizabeth smiled gently and asked with a curious look in her eyes, "What's her name?" Meliodas put his hands behind his head and intertwined his fingers. "Her name is Kotone. She lives inside the forest somewhere near Vanya and she could be of great help." Elizabeth's curiosity got the best of her and she looked at Meliodas interested about Kotone. "Could you please tell me about her Meliodas-sama?" Meliodas looked ahead and sat down. "Sure I'll tell you as much as I know on our way to Vanya and hopefully we run into to her on our way there," he grinned and pat the spot next to him while Hawks mom walked to their destination. Elizabeth smiled happily and sat down next to Meliodas while he started talking about Kotone.
-Kotone pov- I sat by a lake, my skirt hiked up and my legs dipped in the water. The water was so clear I could see all of the little fishies swimming in the water and swimming between my legs. It kind of tickled and made me giggle. I flipped the page to my book that I held in my lap reading the words carefully. Suddenly one of the young fawns of the forest, Nanika, came trotting towards me. They seemed to be in a hurry. Worried, I stood up and slowly walked towards her. "Miss there's someone in the forest and they have a partner!!! They carry a sword on their back and they look like they are trying to find something!" Nanika exclaimed in a hurry. "Nanika please calm down I'll go see what they need or want," I said softly to calm her down and it seemed to work. I clutched my book to my chest and Nanika let out a small sigh of relief. I smiled and told her to go back to her mom and I'll take care of the "intruders." Nanika always did this. She panicked over every traveler who enters the forest and I calm her down by talking to her. I fixed my skirt and held my book tightly while walking in the direction she came from. As I walked towards the center of the forest I heard a high pitched scream. My eyes widened as I ran towards the direction of the scream. When I reached a certain spot covered in all types of flowers I noticed two people and a pig. The girl seemed to have been frightened and the guy had a bug in his hand while the pig was behind the girl hiding. I walked closer to them and tapped the guy on the shoulder. He turned to me and grinned when he laid his eyes on me. He seemed sort of familiar but I couldn't quite place my finger on it. He looked down at me and pat my head. I looked at him confused and asked,"Excuse me sir but why are you here? Are you lost?" His grin lessened and the girl behind him smiled at me. "It's okay little girl we're just looking for a lady by the name of Kotone," she smiled,"do you happen to know where she is." I smiled happily and corrected her. "I'm not a little girl ma'am and my name is Kotone how may I help you both?" I asked her and a look of surprise crossed her face. Suddenly she bowed rapidly and repeatedly apologized with a bright red face. The guy beside her laughed and smiled at me while I panicked and tried to stop her. "It's fine you probably didn't know how I looked but it's fine not many people know! Please stop bowing and apologizing!" I said and waved my arms trying to stop her. She stood up and looked at me while smiling apologetically . "Know who may you two be?" I asked and smiled at them. The guy grinned and said,"My names Meliodas and that's Hawk." He pointed over at the pig who was hiding behind him. I smiled at the pig and reached down to pat him. "How are you Hawk?" I asked softly. What I didn't expect was for him to start speaking like a normal person. "I-I'm fine, are you really Lady Kotone" he stuttered slightly. My eyes widened slightly but I quickly smiled and said,"Yeah I don't look like what many people say I look like do I?" I giggled lightly. Hawks eyes widened and he quickly responded,"No! It's nothing bad I was just a little surprised!" I put my hand over my mouth and laughed,"it's okay don't worry!" I turned to the girl and looked up at her. "What's your name ma'am?" I asked her curiosity lacing my voice. She smiled and held out her hand," My name is Elizabeth!" I grasped her bigger hand in mine and said,"it's nice to meet you princess." I let go of her hand and a panicked look crossed her face. "How do you know I'm a princess?!" She asked quickly. I smiled and pointed to my ear while turning around to Meliodas, "Now follow me we can talk about what you need from me in my cabin." I turned around and started walking towards a trail that was led by small dandelions. I heard their footsteps behind me and I grinned knowing that they were trusting enough to follow me. We walked in silence with the occasional squeak from Elizabeth or Hawk because of an animal or insect. We came to a clearing with small cabin that's big enough to fit one person and had a table and chairs outside.

I lead them to the table outside and told them to wait there while I get them something to drink/eat. I walked inside and got them glasses of lemonade plus some food for Hawk. When I got back to the table I sat down and smiled at them asking them what they needed from me. "Lady Kotone please help me in my search for the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins in hopes of stopping the Holy Knights!" Elizabeth said with a determined look on her face. I looked at her and smiled softly. "The rest? Does that mean that you already found one?" I asked with a puzzled look on my face. "Yes it's Meliodas-sama," Elizabeth smiled while turning to look at him. I looked at Meliodas and giggled. After all of these years I didn't expect him to still look at the same. I thought that he would have looked older. "Well Meliodas I didn't actually think it was you but my suspicions have been answered," I said. Meliodas looked quite happy after that and said,"I really thought that you had forgotten about me." "Me? Forget about you? Never. I could never forget you. You have helped me so much I would never forget your kindness to me." I said while giggling. He grinned and said,"we'll? Are you going to help Elizabeth on her journey?" Hawk stopped eating and looked up,"please Lady Kotone come with us I would really wanna taste some of your cooking again." I looked at them with a serious look and thought about it. If I leave I'm going to leave all of this behind. But this could be a way for me to pay Meliodas back for all of his help. I sighed and smiled as I looked at them and agreed. "I'll go with you on one condition," I proposed. Meliodas grinned and held eye contact with me and asked,"what would that condition be?" I looked at Hawk and Elizabeth. Both of them looked worried for a second till I told them,"please call me Kotone or Mochi as Ban and Merlin would call me." Elizabeth let out a breath of relief and so did Hawk. Meliodas smiled and cheered slightly before hugging me. I hugged him back but I didn't expect for my bottom to be grabbed. I looked at Meliodas confused as to what he was doing but before I could ask Hawk had ran into him and he fell quite far from us. "Meliodas!"" Meliodas-sama!" Me and Elizabeth cried out to him before going to running to see if he was okay. "Hmph!! That's what you get for being a pervert!!" Hawk told Meliodas. I asked if he was okay and he replied that he was. I sighed and told him to go lay down on my bed while I packed my things and necessities. I walked inside my cabin and packed my clothe with the help of Elizabeth. When I was done I stood straight and stretched. "Meliodas I'm done packing we can now go," I told Meliodas softly and pulled at his shirt to make him stand up. He stood up and walked outside with me. I sighed as we stood outside my cabin and rose my hand towards the cabin. "Perish" I said with a small voice and my cabin disappeared. I turned to look at Meliodas, Elizabeth, and Hawk and I smiled at them. "C'mon lets go to the Boar Hat," Meliodas said and walked ahead of us. 'Boar Hat?' I thought an looked at Elizabeth and Hawk wanting to know what this so-called Boar Hat was. "Oh! It's Meliodas-samas tavern," Elizabeth replied happily. "Oh" I said and smiled while walking towards Meliodas with both Elizabeth and Hawk. -time skip cause I'm lazy- We reached a small tavern and I realized that we were right in front of Vanya. I liked this town because of all of the children who would play with me and the elders who were always happy to welcome me. Of course they didn't know I am a Guardian. We entered the tavern and immediately sat down on one of the chairs half asleep. "Meliodas?" I called softly. "Hmm?" He looked up and realized that I was on the verge of falling asleep with my head on the table. He laughed softly and Elizabeth smiled. He walked over to me and carried me as if I were a child. I whined and told him to put me down and that could walk I just needed to know were I could sleep. He grinned and said,"Not in that state of mind. Last time you literally took one step and fell asleep." I whined some more but then let it go cause there was no way I could get away from him. He entered a room and set me down on the bed. I grabbed the cover and made myself into a burrito while giggling. Meliodas grinned and told me, "Elizabeth and I will be going to Vanya for a bit and you can stay here." I smiled and said," Ok goodnight, and be carefull don't get hurt." He smiled at me and left the room. Once I was all alone I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
