Prohibited Love

Chapter 14

"Woah! Slow down Thunder!" Yuzu exclaimed as Thunder ran fast like the wind. Yuzu's hair went flying like crazy and Thunder kept running fast around the field. Shai watched along with Beauty and Rosy
"Hang on tight Yuzu!" Shai shouted
"I'm trying!" Yuzu said and kept holding onto Thunder. Thunder stopped and stood by his hind legs making Yuzu fall
"Waaah!" Yuzu exclaimed and fell to the ground
"Yuzu!" Shai exclaimed and Beauty ran towards Yuzu. Shai jumped off of Beauty and ran up to her
"Are you okay?" Shai asked as she helped her up
"Ugh...my ass" Yuzu groaned and glared at Thunder who seemed to be having fun
Stupid Thunder!
"He hates me..." Yuzu said
"No he doesn't. He was just a little excited" Shai said as she giggled nervously
"Yeah right. Now come on. He'll be back soon" Yuzu said as she rubbed her butt softly
Good thing I didn't break anything or else that would be really bad
Yuzu and Shai managed to get the horses back in the stable and kept an eye on the cattle. The sun began to heat the area and the two girls decided to stay in the shade
"Hey Yuzu..." Shai said
"Hm? What is it?" Yuzu asked
"Well...I don't know. I wish...there was some way to help Auntie. She's done so much for us...and after my father...died. She had to do everything on her own..." Shai said as she looked down
"Shai don't think about it. I know it's hard...I mean...father did everything he could to keep us protected. Now I wonder...if we can be able to protect like they protected us" Yuzu said
"W-with Matsuri's help w-we can do it" Shai said
"You think so?" Yuzu asked
"W-we just need to train more. If we we train harder then we can get stronger just like her" Shai said
"And you two will become strong" Matsuri said as she hung from the stables
"Aaaaah!" The girls exclaimed and trembled
"Relax you idiots. It's just me" Matsuri said
"D-don't scare us like that!" Yuzu said
"Y-yeah! You almost gave me a heartattack!" Shai exclaimed and whimpered softly as she clenched her chest tightly
"Jeez calm the fuck down. You two are overreacting" Matsuri said and shifted into a bat then landed on Yuzu's shoulder
"Were you spying on us?" Yuzu asked
"No. I woke up and decided to look for you two. It was funny to see you ride that horse" Matsuri said and laughed a little
"W-wait! You saw!?" Yuzu exclaimed
"Of course I did" Matsuri said and giggled
"I thought you said you weren't spying" Yuzu said
"I really wasn't. I just happened to see you riding that wild horse" Matsuri said
"Do you get burned by the sun?" Shai asked
"Of course I do dumbass. That's why I'm staying in the shade" Matsuri said
"And do you drink blood?" Yuzu asked. Matsuri jumped a bit and trembled slightly
"U-uhm...well yeah" Matsuri said slightly nervous
"Hm? Something wrong?" Yu,u asked
"I-it's nothing. Now why are you two here? I mean I know you're working but shouldn't you be going to uh...hmmm? What do they call it here? School?" Matsuri asked
"Oh school? Well...we can't" Yuzu said
"Hm? Why?" Matsuri asked
"W-we don't have money. We struggle with money and that's why we work. We have to help Auntie or else we will starve" Shai said
"If you guys live in this village then can't the King help you two?" Matsuri asked
"No. The King doesn't help no one and only cares for his two daughters" Shai said
"The Taniguchi King is really mean and cruel but the Queen seems nice" Yuzu said
"T-taniguchi?" Matsuri asked as she trembled and coughed
"M-mitsuko...T-taniguchi"
Wh-why...again...why?! Why?! Stop it!
"H-hey why are you shaking?" Yuzu asked. Matsuri only shifted back to normal and breathed slightly heavily as she clenched her chest tightly
Wh-why did this...c-curse....have to fucking affect me? Grrrr...just stop
"Hahaha it's nothing you little shits. Just...don't worry about me" Matsuri said and smiled softly
"A-are you sure? You're not sick?" Shai asked
"Us vampires don't get sick dumbass" Matsuri said and flicked her forehead
"Ow" Shai whimpered and rubbed her forehead softly
"Now when will you two leave this place?" Matsuri asked as she looked around
"W-well until Udagawa comes back" Yuzu said
"Does your mother know about this and your secret job?" Matsuri asked
"N-not really but we just want to help her" Yuzu said
"Can't you just steal?" Matsuri asked
"What? Steal?" Yuzu asked
"Yeah steal" Matsuri said
"B-but...isn't st-stealing bad?" Shai asked
"No" Matsuri said
"W-we shouldn't steal or else the King will be mad" Yuzu said
"I just think it's easier that way instead of just getting a couple of gold coins when you can get a bag full of coins" Matsuri said and held out a bag dropping it. Yuzu's and Shai's eyes widen as they saw the coins
"Wh-where did you get it?" Yuzu asked
"One of the stupid guard's were asleep and I found it" Matsuri said
"Th-the royal guard!? Th-then we're screwed!" Yuzu said
"W-we will go to the dungeon..." Shai mumbled as she trembled
"You two worry so much for nothing. I won't be letting those fuckers get you in the dungeon okay? That's why I'm staying here and protect you two" Matsuri said
"Th-thanks but I don't think we n-need to steal" Yuzu said
"Suit yourself. I just thought it was a good way to train" Matsuri said and picked up the bag
"Wh-what? Train?" Yuzu asked
"Vampires are fast too you know. So they can steal very easily without getting caught" Matsuri said
"R-really?" Yuzu asked
"B-but we can't steal. It's bad" Shai said
"Fine" Matsuri said. After a while, Udagawa came back to check on the girls
"Hey Yuzu and Shai. How was it?" Udagawa asked as he smiled
"Hi Udagawa. We did everything you asked us to do" Yuzu said
"That's great. I see you took good care of them" Udagawa said and held out two bags filled with gold coins
"Take them" Udagawa said
"Thank you so much" Yuzu and Shai said as they bowed down
"You're welcome girls. Thanks for taking care of my animals while I was gone" Udagawa said
"No problem" Yuzu said
"T-take care" Shai said. The two girls left his home and walked back to the village
"You guys walk from home to here then back?" Matsuri asked as he hid inside Yuzu's cloak
"Yes. Why?" Yuzu asked
"Because I believe it's a waste of time. You two may not look like vampires but you two still have your powers. Why not use your speed?" Matsuri asked
"Because we can't control it" Yuzu said
"Y-yeah and if we make a mistake...then we'll be killed or trapped inside the dungeon" Shai said and trembled
"What?" Matsuri asked
"The vampires get taken to the dungeon and used for weapons or clothes. Sometimes the King invites the two other kingdoms for fun and watched vampires fight" Yuzu said
"E-excuse me?" Matsuri asked
Use them? As weapons? Toys? Fight each other? This is fucking bullshit...
"Is there going to be a fight tonight?" Matsuri asked
"W-well we don't know yet" Yuzu said
"I-I think there will be" Shai said
"What makes you say that?" Yuzu asked
"L-look" Shai said as she pointed at the carriages
"What is it?" Matsuri asked
"It's the other carriages from the two Royal Kingdoms" Yuzu said
"Which means?" Matsuri asked
"There is going to be a fight tonight...and everyone will be there to watch for fun" Yuzu said
"Not on my fucking watch" Matsuri growled
"What?" Yuzu asked
"I'll be stopping the fight and help them escape" Matsuri said
"B-but if you get caught then you'll...die" Shai said
"Me? Die? Oh please...you have no idea what I've been through. It's thanks to my old man that I am this strong..." Matsuri said and chuckled softly
Even though I was tortured...it's thanks to him that I am this tough and strong

The villagers gasped and made way for the carriages to pass through. Some men couldn't help but drool at the Queens and some admired their daughters. Sho and Alyssa Aihara used to be enemies with the Taniguchis but soon their hatred began to turn into friendship. The two Aiharas had a beautiful 14 year old daughter called Mei. Mei was an ice cold and a strict princess. She tried to act just like her mother and father who were always wearing a strict expression. Though she had a soft side that no one knew about except for her very close friend Himeko Momokino. The Momokinos were quite close to the Aihara's Kingdom and the two rulers were Damon and Celeste Momokino. The Momokino were quite different from the Aiharas. They were pretty spoiled especially the Queen and her daughter. The King always had to deal with his Queen and daughter's needs. Jewelry and dresses were the needs the two wanted the most
"Mom can we go check the dresses?" The 14 year old asked as she pouted
"Later sweetie. Right now we have to go meet up with the Taniguchis" Celeste said and stroked her hair softly
"But that's boring" Himeko said and pouted
"Your friend Mei and Harumi will be there. Maybe you three can play while us adults are at the meeting" Celeste said and smiled
"But why do you need more dresses? You already have plenty of those puffy short dresses" Damon said
"Oh Damon...you know our little girl is very special so if she wants anything then she'll have it. So shut up" Celeste said as she kept smiling. Damon only shook his head and groaned softly
Why on earth did I have to marry a spoiled woman? Now my girl is just like her mother...
"Awwww but I want to see the dresses" Himeko said and pouted
"You will after the meeting okay? I promise" Celeste said
"Okay" Himeko said and looked out seeing the people
I need a new dress. I want a new look so all those girls can be jealous of me...
Himeko stared at the shops wanting to find new dresses or jewelry but gasped seeing something really beautiful. Though this wasn't something. It was someone
Sh-she looks...pretty! I must have her! She has to be mine because she is pretty!
"Stop the carriage!" Himeko shouted which made the driver pull the reins making the horses stop
"Himeko? What on earth was that for?" Damon asked sternly. Himeko jumped off the carriage and ran
"Himeko! Don't run!" Celeste exclaimed as she opened the door and stepped out. Himeko pushed through the crowd and looked around trying to find the someone
Where is the pretty girl? She was right here just a mome-
"Yuzu! I want something to drink!"
"Shai relax. Let's get something to eat first then a drink"
Himeko gasped and smiled brightly
She looks like the prince from my story! My prince charming!
"You!" Himeko shouted which made the two girls jump
"H-huh?" Shai asked
"Is she calling us?" Yuzu asked
"What does this little bitch want?" Matsuri asked
"Shhh. Just stay quiet" Yuzu whispered and Matsuri hid
"My prince charming!" Himeko said as she grabbed Shai's hand
"Wh-what?!" Shai exclaimed
Pr-prince charming!?
"Eh?" Yuzu asked
Did she just say...prince charming?
"What the fuck?" Matsuri whispered
"Shhhh" Yuzu whispered
"Oh Himeko! There you are! Why did you leave?" Celeste asked as she walked up to her daughter
"Mama! I want her!" Himeko said as she held Shai
"Wh-what? U-uhm...uh...l-let me go" Shai whimpered as she trembled
"What do you mean?" Celeste asked
"Hey! What's taking so damn long?" Damon asked as he had a stern look
We have to go to the castle before the stupid Taniguchis get mad at us
"Papa! I want her!" Himeko whined
"Himeko no more stupid-wait...what?" Damon asked confused
"I want her! She is pretty and beautiful like prince charming in the story! Please let me have her!" Himeko said. Damon looked surprised and looked at the white haired girl who seemed terrified
"What? We don't need no more servants Himeko. You already have enough servants. Now let's go-"
"I want her! Mama said I can have whatever I want and what I want is her!" Himeko said
"I-I uh..."
"Of course Himeko. You can have whatever you want. Now...how much will that be?" Celeste asked as she smiled at Shai. Shai and Yuzu froze for a moment before processing what was going on
"YOU WANT TO BUY ME/HER!?" The Okogis exclaimed
