Reminder: I do not own Queen's Blade or its characters.
"I already said that I didn't kiss her, she kissed me!" Kai exclaimed.
"And why should I believe you?" said Claudette.
"Because were friends right?" Said Kai.
"Friends?"
"Yeah, friends."
"I never had a friend before…" Said Claudette softly only Kai can hear her.
"Maybe because you scare them away." Kai said joking.
"Yeah…Maybe…"
"Hey you know that I'm joking right?" Kai said. "The reason why I see you as my friend is because your different from other girls. You're special in ways."
"Kai…I'm special because I'm the General and from the Vance's am I correct?"
"No. Not that. Your special is your own personality. Everyone has a different personality and everyone's well sort of different from each other. I don't see you as the General or the daughter of the Vance's, I see you as Claudette-San, the Claudette-san that I am friends with and the Claudette-san that is stubborn, hot headed, mean, and Kawaii when she's shy, when she's embarrassed, and when she's in serious mode!"
"Th-Th-Thank you." Claudette says.
"Kawaii, she's so cute when she's blushing!" thought Kai. "Anyways are we going to find Leina?"
"Yes we have to."
"Then let's go!" Kai says. "Leina…"
As the two arrived at the bridge Elina says "You two have a fun time together and please bring Onee-sama back!"
"Don't worry I will I promise!" Promised Kai. "Pinky promise." The two of them made a pinky promise.
"Let's go!" yelled Claudette.
"I just have one thing to say." Says Kai.
"What?"
"I don't know how to ride a horse…"
"…"
"How about…You ride with Claudette Onee-sama!" Says Elina.
"What?!" Yelled Claudette.
"…"
"Yup, it's settled then!" Elina says.
"But!"
Elina picked up Kai and put him on the horse behind Claudette. "Remember to hug her!"
"Hyah!" Claudette yelled as she whipped the horse.
"WUAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH" Screamed Kai. "S-S-S-Slow down! I think I'm going to vomit!"
"Don't vomit on me!" Yelled Claudette back. "I think I need to teach you how to ride a horse…" Said Claudette.
"Good idea!"
"MMMHHH." Groaned Leina as she woke up. When Leina opened her eyes she saw a female with red pointy hair. "Risty?"
"Ahhhhh you're finally awake!" she exclaimed. "You know I'm still mad at you."
"Mad at me why?" asked Leina.
"You made me lose all of the treasure…" Risty says.
"Uh...That's all?" Wondered Leina. "That's why you're mad at me?"
"Yes! I don't know what to feed the children now…"
"You have kids?!" Yelled Leina.
"No! Their orphans."
"Oh…"
"That was…Fun!" Yelled Kai. "Let's do it again!"
"You know you're really like a 5 year old…"
"I'm not a 5 year old! I'm a sixteen year old!" said the pouting Kai.
"Sure, whatever…" Says Claudette. "Hey Kai…"
"Yeah?" replied Kai "What is it?"
"D-D-D-Do you re-really mean the things that you said…" Stuttered Claudette.
"Kawaii, she's so cute when she's blushing and embarrassed." Thought Kai. "Yeah of course I mean that. If I didn't mean all the things that I said, I wouldn't say it. If I said it, I mean it."
"Thanks…" Said Claudette. "Thanks for being my friend."
"Your welcome!" Winked Kai.
"Why is my heart beating so fast and why does it feel so warm? Do I like him? No he is just a friend… The first friend I made! I do not like him!" thought Claudette.
"Claudette-san? Hello?" Kai said waving his hands in front of her face.
"What?"
"You were spacing off."
"Oh that…Hey do you think that Leina is wrong…" Asked Claudette.
"I'm sorry but what?" replied Kai.
"I mean is she running away from her destiny wrong? I mean she is the rightful heir of the Vance's."
"No there's nothing wrong with her running away because, well it's actually her choice and no one can change her. She wants to be free from all of this. Especially free from her destiny. She doesn't want to be the Heir. She wants you to be it. I personally think you should be it because I know you can change bad things into good things. You're a great person Claudette-san. I know it. You can lead people to their destiny. You're a great leader."
"Kai… Thank you but I need to bring Leina back because it is the Counts wish." Said Claudette.
"Why? Why?" Said Kai. "Why can't people make their own decision… I mean it is their rights to make their own decision…I wish that I could change people…I just wish that I can make a rule saying that you cannot change other people…I just want people to stop being so bossy towards other people…They should just make their own decision…" Kai says softly only Claudette can hear. "I don't want to see more people suffer because of other people. Never."
"Kai…I'm sorry but I have to…I am his Oldest Daughter…"
"Then how come Leina is the Heir not you!" snapped Kai.
"I…I…I…I don't know…"
"You do know! You're just hiding it! Let it out! Let it all out!"
"I DON'T KNOW!" YELLED CLAUDETTE. "I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF MY FATHER LOVES ME OR NOT!" Claudette soon burst into tears. "I don't know…"
Kai got up walked over in front of her, kneeled down, he soon cup her cheeks and spoke. "It's all right, I'm here now…" He pulled her closer to him and stroked her hair. "It's all right."
"I don't know…" she cried. Every second she cried harder remembering how Leina was treated and how she was treated. "Why, why can no one see can't' me like you do Kai. All I ever wanted was some love from my father and at least some friends."
"Shhh… It's all right…" Kai said. He pulled her away from him then he cupped her cheeks again and says "I know you're doing this for your Father but at least make some decisions on your own…I'm sorry that I brought this subject up…"
"It's ok…" Claudette says whipping her tears. "I needed someone to hold me like that…And say all those things…"
"Well, if you have any problems come to me OK? I'll help you and I'll always be there for you." Kai said.
"Kai…"
"I promise…Pinky promise!" Kai promised. The two of them pinky promised. "If I ever break the promise…You get to beat me up."
"Thank you…"
"No problem…I can't just sit here and see a girl cry…And suffer…You know you're really cute when you cry." Commented Kai. "And besides, a guy who just sits there staring at a girl whose suffering isn't a real man."
"Then what is a real man."
"A real man is a man that is always there protecting the girl, always there for the people he loves, never breaks a promise, and a man who never hits a girl or make a girl suffer."
"So you were saying that my dad is not a real man?"
"Maybe…"
"You know…I never expressed my feelings towards other people…"
"Well you have one person now!" Yelled Kai. "Hey let's take a picture!"
"Picture?" Asked Claudette.
"Here let me show you." Kai reached in his pants and pulled out his IPhone 4s. He turned it on and looked for the camera. "See it's me and you."
"Weird thingy."
"Smile!"
"What?"
"CLICK!" clicked the camera.
"What the heck did you just do?!" Yelled Claudette.
"A picture…" Whimpered Kai. "See…It's me and you together." Kai showed Claudette a picture.
"Together huh?"
Then the sky starting raining. It was raining hard, very hard.
"Oh crap it's raining!" Kai said. Kai quickly got up and took of his black jacket and put it on Claudette's head. "You'll catch a cold."
"You'll catch a cold too!" Said Claudette.
"Don't worry, you're a lady by the way…" Says Kai. "It'll be a shame if a pretty lady catches a cold."
"Bakka…"
"Hey look a church, let's go in there." Kai suggested.
"A church?" Replied Claudette.
"Yeah, we can stay there until the rain stops."
"Are you sure? I mean we can go to an Inn."
"Let's just go…" Kai drags her all the ways to the church. He knocks about 5 times until the door open. Standing there was a busty blond. She was wearing a blue and white nun outfit with glasses. She has white leggings and it looks like she's not wearing any panties. "Damn, she has the biggest bust out of all the girls I met here. She even has bigger bust than Claudette-san. Hehehehe" Kai thought.
BAM!
Claudette hit Kai in the head and said "Stop thinking perverted stuff."
"I am not thinking perverted stuff!"
"Then why is your face all blushy." Snapped Claudette back.
"Be-Be-because I was thinking about…Um…about…You! Yeah you! I was thinking how cute you are when you blush!"
"Bakka…"
"How may I help you two travelers?" asked the Blond chick, Melpha.
"Hi, um we were just wondering if we can stay here for the day." Kai asked politely. "Like until it stops raining."
"Oh yes indeed!" She says.
As she led Kai and Claudette in there was an angel sitting at the table and yelling "Melpha! Where's my milk! I want it now!"
"Someone's on their period…" Mumbled Kai.
"You say something?!" She snapped back at him.
"Nope…"
"Ah everyone, let's all sit down and eat shall we?" Interrupted Melpha.
"Fine…"
As the group of people were eating the angel spoke up "Melpha I want more food!" She demanded it in a very bossy tone.
"I thought angels aren't supposed to be lazy and dumbasses." Blurted Kai. "Guess this angel is weak…"
"Hey watch your mouth kid!" yelled Naneal.
"And why should I?"
"Because you're going to regret it!"
"How? How am I going to regret it?" Said Kai. "Hmmm?"
"You just are…" Said Naneal.
"Oh my, why don't we eat now shall we?" Melpha.
"Thanks for the meal!" shouted Kai.
"Who thanks for a meal." Mumbled Naneal.
"I thank for a meal because I'm actually happy I get to eat. I'm happy that god gave me food." Stated Kai.
"Whatever…" said Naneal.
"Sorry for barging in like this, we didn't have a place to stay and well it is raining." Apologized Kai. "We could have gone to the Inn but I was afraid that Claudette-san and her solders might get sick."
"Kai…" whispered Claudette "Do you actually care for me that much?"
"Of course I care for you a lot, you are indeed my friend aren't you?" said Kai. "I have good hearing that's why…"
"!" Claudette was surprised he can hear that well. "I should be more careful" she thought.
Time skip: 30 minutes later.
"UGHHHH" groaned Naneal. "Melpha! Get me some more milk!"
"Hai!" replied Melpha.
"Oh and get me some more food too!" Naneal barked.
"Why don't you get it yourself? Stop telling people what to do!" Barked Kai.
"Why?" replied Naneal.
"Because, some people don't like being bossed around, some people want to be free, and some people have feelings!"
"I care because?"
"You should care! You're an angel! What if you're a mom? Would you like to see your husband boss your child around?" Kai yelled "Would you like to see them get hurt because they didn't do it or they did do it but they did it incorrectly?"
"Heh? I bet your family is a mess! That's why you came crawling to the general? I bet your mom died! Because of you!"
"You-You don't know shit about me!" Kai yelled "It's not my fault she died!" Kai suddenly got up and ran out into the rain he was running as fast as he could/.
"Kai wait!" Shouted Claudette. "This is your fault!" Claudette got up and chased him. "Kai…"
"It's not my fault…" Said Kai... "It's not my fault! Why can't I just be free? Free from him…From my stepmother too..." thought Kai. "I never wanted this! All I wanted was to be free! I never wanted this!"
"BAM!" Kai hit an elf. "Who are you?" He whispered.
"Kai!" Shouted Claudette.
"Claudette-san…Thank you for being with me…" suddenly everything went pitched black for Lee JI Kai.
