Morning came and Saiyuri woke with the sun. Her sleep had been scarce and dreamless the whole night. Small dusky rings outlined her tired dark brown eyes. She saw the hairpin glittering merrily on her vanity. She lifted it gently in her hands, remembering Yuuta and the short time had spent with his immense tengu prince. She set it back down and pulled free a white kimono. She was to meet her husband today. It was a gentle printed kimono, only a few cranes danced on its rippling surface. She tied it shut with an orange and white obi. Orange was a fierce color for a woman to choose. She knew Yuuta would have approved. Combing out her long, tangled black hair, she pinned it up with the tengu's gift. Like magic, she suddenly felt empowered.
She heard her mother making tea in the other room and she walked out to join her small family. Her mother was dressed in a dark blue kimono with light blue patterns swirling about it. Her mother's face was covered in white powder and red lipstick.
"Saiyuri! Your make-up!" her mother scolded. Her father walked in as her mother began to nudge Saiyuri out. Her father was a strong man with a slight black beard that had been combed smooth. His eyes were wrinkled with laughter lines. But he wasn't even smiling this fateful morning.
"He is here. Come, my daughter," he beckoned. She heard her mother gasp. Saiyuri followed her father out of the dining room into the sitting room. On one of the straw sitting mats was her husband, Samurai Lord Hayato.
His blades peeked out from his dark hakama. His face was youthful, for thirty, but was scarred on one cheek in two places. His topknot was pulled tight and shined with health. He stood and Saiyuri bowed.
"Welcome husband," she said gravely. One of his rough hands grasped hers.
"You are beautiful, Saiyuri-chan," he sighed, his black eyes sparkling. She shied away from him, squirming out of his reach. Yuuta's hands felt more loving, more sincere, then this beauty-hungry warlord.
"You should go riding," Saiyuri's father urged, "Get to know the village. Aoi has your horses ready." Hayato inclined his head in thanks. He took Saiyuri's hand.
"Can you ride? Most women cannot," he stated.
"I can," Saiyuri bluntly said, her voice sour. She already began plotting to loose him. Her brother taught her to ride before he left and she had perfected the art of horseback. He tugged her hand and led her from the house where Aoi was waiting with her family's two horses.
Aoi was a strong man, working various jobs around the village. He cooked, cleaned stables, built and fixed things, almost anything that needed to be done Aoi could do. But anyone could tell he was different. His short blond hair and his blue eyes marked him as something other than Japanese, but nobody in the village seemed to care. He was kind, and that was all that mattered.
"Saiyuri-chan! Hayato-dono," Aoi called out in greeting. Saiyuri gave him a small wave. Hayato snatched the reigns from the boy.
"Thank you," he stiffly said moving to help Saiyuri, who had leaped on her horse with no trouble. Aoi knew what she was planning by the way she moved. She was going to ditch the man.
"Hurry up!" she laughed kicking her little bay mare in the sides lightly. Hayato climbed upon the white stallion and jabbed it sharply. The stallion took off after the retreating mare, but Hayato would never catch them.
Saiyuri's father sighed heavily.
"She knows what she is doing," Aoi stated stiffly, placing a comforting hand upon the older man's shoulders.
"I hope so. Come in for some tea, Aoi." Both returned inside, not being able to see the goose chase any longer for both horses were over the hill and gone into the woods.

Saiyuri rode like the wind until she could no longer hear the hoof beats of the other steed nor the angry shouts of her husband-to-be. She hadn't noticed where she was riding until the dainty pink of the sakura tree swirled around her. She slowed her horse to a walk. She didn't know where the tengu prince might be hiding. She rode until she was near the place he took her, where his shrine was located hidden from human eyes.
"Halt!" a voice shouted from behind the rocks as she drew close. Horse flinching, she pulled to an abrupt stop. A man walked out from the rocks, his royal purple and forest green hakama soiled with the dust from the trail. His mismatched green and yellow eyes flashed with annoyance. Saiyuri gasped.
"You are not human!" she breathed.
"Silly woman, of course I'm not," the man snapped scratching at one of the white fox ears sticking out from his long silky mahogany locks. A red tail with a white tip thrashed into view behind him.
"Are you a...?"
"Kitsune? Hai. But who are you? And why do you come to my master while he is sleeping?" he finished for the shocked woman as she reined her horse in.
"Yuuta is sleeping?" Saiyuri said aloud. The kitsune nodded. "I was supposed to meet him tonight, but I found my way here. I am Saiyuri..." The kitsune adopted a shocked expression.
"Saiyuri-sama?" he gasped bowing, "I am Daichi and Yuuta-dono spoke highly of you! Please do not think ill of my actions or master may punish my rudeness!" His tail bristled in fear and he visibly shook. Saiyuri urged her horse forward to comfort the kitsune, but it was as if the earth had swallowed the mount's hooves.
"Daichi? Who is there?" rumbled a deep voice. Saiyuri's horse reared with a shrill cry.
"Saiyuri-sama!" Daichi yelped rushing to her aid. Time seemed to slow. Saiyuri was bucked off her horse and plummeted down the steep mountain trail, the animal soon following after loosing its footing. Daichi lunged off the side of the trail and reached for Saiyuri with a cry. His long hair streamed behind him like a banner. Golden wings soon cascaded down the stone and dirt. A hand with sharp red nails was thrust towards the falling pair. Daichi reached Saiyuri and pulled her close.
"Yuuta-dono!" he cried, but Saiyuri did not hear his soft voice calling for the master of the mountain. She closed her tear-filled eyes and awaited death. Yuuta would not reach them fast enough. The breath was knocked out of her and everything went dark.
"Saiyuri-dono! Saiyuri-dono! Speak to me damn it!"
"Saiyuri-chan wake up!"
