After knocking out both the guards and waving for Yukina to make her way over towards him; Shiro had made sure to wait for her to catch up so that the two of them would be able to reach the town's celebration without getting caught by any other possible patrolling guards. As she had made her way over towards him; he wasted no time to quickly rush towards the direction of the celebration lights and sounds of cheering from all of the townspeople simply having the time of their lives while they still had the night to themselves. Knowing all too well that once the two of them would reach the entrance to the celebration; there was going to be no chance that any of the guards would be able to spot out either Shiro or Yukina through all the amounts of people walking and all the lights shining everywhere.
Rather than going straight into the crowds of townspeople to enjoy the party; he had stopped at the entrance to turn and face Yukina once more. Giving a warm smile towards her, he placed a single hand upon her shoulders as he directed red gaze into her own bluish eyes. "Go have fun; Miss Yukina...I must tend to some...matters of my own. I shall return you to the palace undetected when the celebration starts to die down so that your father won't go crazy with not seeing you there at home." Shiro had stated one final sentence before patting her shoulder kindly and turning his back to her; immediately he rushed his way through the crowds of townspeople, Shiro was never really the type to stay for a celebration completely; he was somewhat like the guard and doctor of the people of the town. He mostly just wanted to protect them, whenever there was a party that involved the entire town; he would always stay within his small run down building near the edge of the town to watch over the people that had their fun. Once the celebration for the night would be over, that was when he would make another appearance, besides he needed to get his mask back from Yukina sooner or later.

Yukina blinked as Shiro had ditched her and ran off. She watched him vanish into the crowed and gave a sad sigh and looked around at all the festivities and started to explore .She smiled some at everyone having fun with thier friends and family's playing games .Yukina was socially awkward by nature ,she didnt have any friends in the palace ,and spent most of her time wandering around. She finaly stopped near a crowed of people playing a game and sat down watching them from a distance letting her mind wander.She then blinked getting up,her mom was originally from here ,and her father had once showed her where her mother use to live so...She grinned sleeping away from the busy part of the celebration and headed into the deeper parts of town. She came to a small hut that had been empty for some time now .She slowly entered and smiled softly looking around.

By the time Shiro had made his way towards the old run down building at the edge of the town; he had climbed to the second floor where he normally watched over the town since it had a giant gapping hole on the side of the second floor that overlooked most of the town along with the horizon as well. Climbing onto the ledge of the broken down side of the building, he rested his back against the wall and watched the lights flicker off in the distance of the celebration while listening to the cheering that the townspeople gave off from just ignoring all of the day's troubles into one night. A warm smile came across his lips as he nodded his head to himself at the thought that the townspeople were able to have some kind of fun; even if their ruler; the Pharaoh was completely unfair about what his laws for the people were. Shiro however, was mostly happy for the fact that Yukina was able to get out of the palace for once and be able to spend some time with the people and get a taste of what life was like outside of the walls of having a silver spoon in your mouth your entire life.
Unaware that she had escaped from the celebration, he simply continued to think that she was enjoying herself before he slowly closed his eyes to get some rest. Enjoying the night breeze the entire time; all the while he rested he questioned himself to wonder what he could do about the Pharaoh and his ruthless ruling over the people of the town. Knowing all too well that if things weren't changed sooner or later, the people of the town were going to rebel and many innocent lives were going to be lost because of Yukina's father.

Yukina spent most of the party exploreing her moms old house ,feeling a sense of happiness in her.When she finally decided to leave she bumped into a tall man in a hood, that blocked the door way.She felt a small chill run down her spine as the man looked her over. "im sorry , i didnt mean to bump into you"

The man grinned."its okay princess, your our guest here",he said smirking."and i dont see the young man who came here with you,heh,he left you here all alone,tisk tisk tisk,we should teach him that it was a very bad idea to do that"

Yukina stared and then suddenly feel a thump to the back of her head,and everything went dark.

The man and his partner scooped up Yukina and went down the alley ways and to thier awaiting hourses and carefully tossed her onto one before getting on themselfs and headed off full tilt out of the city,just as the party was dieing down ,so they blended in with the crouds of people leaving

After relaxing for a few hours on the edge of the ruined building and watching the lights while listening also to the happiness of the townspeople having their fun. Hearing as to how the sounds of the celebration were finally dying down, Shiro gave a warm smile as he hopped off the edge of the building and progressed his way to the center of where the party once was being held. "Yukina?..Miss Yukina?" He called out silently for her as he turned his head left to right, wondering as to where she could've been now after the party. He was more than sure enough that Yukina wasn't about to just leave the party and try to head home on her own; so where was she. Curious as to why he couldn't find her right off the bat, he came up to the nearest town citizen to get their attention and described to them what Yukina had been wearing and if they caught any idea of where she was.

Being instructed that they had seen someone walking around near the alleyways with someone they were carrying that somewhat matched that in the description. Shiro's eyes quickly widen up in shock as his jaw nearly felt like it was about to come off. She was captured. Biting down onto his lower lip in fear, he turned his gaze towards the palace in thoughts that he might need to the help of Yukina's father to find the kidnappers at this point. However, he shook his head to the thought since if he were to go to the Pharaoh about such a thing and find out that it was because of Shiro that she had left the palace, he would be killed on the spot. Shaking off his thought of death, he clenched his fist and demanded the direction of where the citizen saw the men go off to.

Being told that it was outside of the city; Shiro cursed silently to himself about the fact that he was going to need supplies to survive out there in the desert. Without wasting anytime; Shiro had went from home to home, asking from one citizen friend after another for some spare food and water and whatever piece of equipment they could spare for his journey before he rushed back to the entrance of the city. There, on the side were a group of horse and camels; Shiro had no clue how long of a travel this was going to be to find Yukina, but with the supplies he had; he would do his best. "Just hang in there Miss Yukina.." he whispered quietly to himself as he climbed aboard his horse and had the camel full of supplies follow from behind him.

Yukina sighed softly as she started to come around,and she was bumping along.She realized she was on a horse.She didnt move.She could feel someone else's presence behind her.She had to think. She thought for a moment and use her eyes to look around and saw that on the mans anchel was a dagger.She took a deep breath and couted to three in a flash she snatched the balde and stabbed into the mans upper thy,when ye yelled out the hourse reared up causeing th man to go flying off,as she slipped off she grabbed a sword that was in a side pocket on the sadle. She landed on her feet and stood watching as the one hourse made a u turn and was raceing back towards town...well maybe , she didnt see anything for miles soo

she turned her attention back to the men ,the one stood pulling out the dagger while hi partnes had stopped and got of his hourse. She grinned and tossed a pebel she had picked up at the hourse and grinned as it raced after the other hourse,but not before he had grabbed his own sword.

Traveling through the endless sand from the desert; Shiro had kept a single hand over his head to keep the blazing sun from going directly towards his eyes but as well as making sure that none of the sand had gotten onto his face. There was no telling just how far Yukina had already been taken away from him at this point, all he knew was that they were somewhere out here in the desert and making their way to some sort of destination. As to what direction they had went off to, was also a complete mystery to Shiro; the dry blowing air had already blown away the trail as to which direction that the people had taken her off to, at this point all Shiro had to help him was his own instincts and plain luck that he would find her. From time to time as he made his way throughout the desert; he would stop and take a bit of a sip from the many bottles of water that he had brought with him to keep himself from going completely dehydrated.
There was no chance that Shiro was about to let himself nor Yukina die in a place like this because of his own doing. Throughout the entire time he continued to make his way around, he did his best to use all of his senses to possibly catch even the smallest hint of where the group of people might've taken the princess. It was near about a few hours into walking that the young male had come across what looked like a dead horse; kneeling beside the large animal, he placed a single hand over it's dried up skin and pulled at the flesh just slightly to see how long the animal had been out in this blazing dried up heat. "Hmm..there's no way this thing could've died too long ago. I must be close.." He whispered to himself, hoping that the dead horse he had just found had belonged to the group of people that had kidnapped Yukina. Luckily, the horse had also carried very few supplies that belonged to those who once rode it as Shiro made sure to stock up on some of those that came off of the dead horse for himself along with his horse and camel so that they wouldn't suffer the same fate.

Yukina sighed as she wandered the desert. It was mid day,.and she had no idea where she was.She looked to the bloody sword in her hand.Just before dawn, she had killed the two men who had captured her,and escaped,but ,clearly had gone the wrong way. She was getting thirsty.She stopped looking around and blinked spotting a cave.At least she could rest.She then made ehr way over and sighed at the coolness."perfect",she said colapseing in the cave.All she needed was some sleep....for a ouple of hours.

Continuing on his path on the sandy desert plains for what seemed like hours on end; Shiro kept his gaze between the path in front of him, the horse and camel that followed him closely from behind and the sun as to how it was dropping quicker and quicker as time went on by. If he couldn't find Yukina soon, he was going to have to set up camp somewhere and rest for the evening before continuing forward the next day, the only problem about this was that he didn't wish to stop whatsoever; Shiro was unaware whether or not she would've found any kind of shelter or let alone where the people that had kidnapped her had taken her away. Clenching his fist tightly, he continued on his way for another several minutes before coming across a pair of bodies on the ground and even another few dead horses. Arching a brow towards the dead bodies, he knelt over to check out just how long the corpses had been here before raising a brow. "It's been here for only a few hours...they're still fresh. Yukina, did you do this..?" Shiro whispered silently to himself before turning to look at his surroundings as to where she could've gone off to.

Whatever the case maybe, Shiro couldn't travel any further with the sun setting this quickly. Luckily enough, with the help of some of the equipment that the men's corpses from their horses carried supplies and their own supplies that they carried on their bodies; Shiro set himself a small camp for him to rest for the night, making sure that both his camel and horse were protected from the cold weather as well. The whole night that he laid there trying to get some sort of sleep, he could only toss and turn at the thought that Yukina was laying dead out there somewhere in the endless sea of sand.

Yukina sighed as she came back around,she sat up feeling dizzy.Then shivered looking around she relized she had slept the intire day,it was now night and it was cold. And she was still thirsty.She rubbed her head.She was dizzy now too.She frowned at the thought of her father realizeing she was gone.The worry that must be flowing threw him.She looked out onto the moon lit sand. Was anyone even looking for her?besides her father. Would they even think to look in the endless desert. She sighed,come daylight she would have to seach for water .But for now she would have to stay put.

Tossing and turning mostly the entire night as it had seemed; Shiro couldn't help himself to be unable to actually fall asleep completely. The only thing that kept ringing through his head was just Yukina at the time, having no clue as to where she could be outside in this desert and not to mention the fact that she could be hurt or even worse. Just the thought of all of this being forced into his head; made it impossible for the young male to even give a thought about getting any sort of rest. The only thing Shiro could actually do was lay on the flat surface and take his attention towards the top of his tent with both of his eyes open, all the while he had done his best to try and calm his mind about how Yukina was old enough to take care of herself and wouldn't let something like this take her down.

Sighing at the fact about how this technically all happened because Shiro just wanted to show her the nightlife of the townspeople that loved her for helping them. Regretting the fact that he had taken her away from the safety of her home, a deep sigh escaped his lips as he slowly sat up in his tent and rubbed his temples lightly. "No way am I getting any sleep tonight.." He whispered to himself before standing back up and tucking the tent back together neatly and placing into the pouch that the camel held over it's back. Pulling the cloth of his shirt over his mouth and slightly close to his eyes, he patted the side of the horse and camel to instruct them to move forward through the night; if he wasn't going to be able to get any rest, might as well use the time he had to continue the search for Yukina.

Yukina sighed standing.She could venture into the cave to see how deep it went.But it was dark and she didn't have a tourch. She should keep moving while it was cold,but she didn't even know what way she was going.And if there was someone looking for her,she could be moving farther away from them.She let out a fustraighted growl as she started to pace the cave.She didn't know what do do.Morning,she would wait until morning .Then she would leave a sign as to what way she was going.She took a deep breath to try and calm down,but paused hearing a hissing ,she moved around trying to spot the snake,then she felt it,a sharp stink to her leg,she let out a small yelp holding her ankle."n-not good",she muttered sitting down.

Venturing through the night right by the side of the horse and camel; Shiro turned his gaze left to right throughout the endless desert for some sort of sign as to where Yukina might've gone or been. While he traveled throughout the night, he was glad enough to know that the camel and horse were dealing with the low temperatures of the desert quite well. "Come on..Yukina, where are you?" Continuing to make his way around; it was natural that Shiro had to come to a halt multiple times to catch his breath due to the several large sandy dunes that he had climb. During the times when he had come to a halt, there were several times that Shiro had to risk losing water by giving it to the horse to drink since the camel had built up water within it's hump to keep it hydrated. If Shiro were to find Yukina anytime soon, he was going to need the horse to have her rest on it while he made his way back towards the city.

Unaware the entire time he was making his way through the desert in hopes to find Yukina soon; the Pharaoh; her father had already formed a large group of his men to go in search for her. Near an army sized amount of men who were all fully armed were searching the desert far behind where Shiro was making his way towards, all of them progressing in the same direction as he was as well.

Yukina sighed softly rubbing her head. She felt hot,dizzy and sick. "Stupid snake",she muttered softly leaning back against the cool cave walls.She stared out the cave,and swore that she coud see a figure in the distance. But shook her head."no ones there...your just seeing things",she muttered softly and felt he eyes growing heavy as the poison from her snake bite started to spread.:i should...sleep",she said as her eyes closed."just...a little"

Continuing on his way through the sandy desert for another hour or so; it was only a matter of time that the sun would finally begin to just peak it's head over the horizon and give off a orange and yellowish light to it. No matter how beautiful the horizon might've looked; this wasn't any time for Shiro to come to a rest just to admire the colors. He had to find Yukina as soon as he could and return her back to the city before anything or anyone else went wrong. While traveling down the path in front of him for what seemed like forever, he soon came across what looked to be a large cave; Shiro truly didn't wish to go in there to get take a rest but if he didn't, the horse and camel weren't going to get anywhere anytime soon.
As he progressed his way towards the cave, a shadowy figure laying completely still on the cave floor could be seen from outside of the cave. Staring into the darkness and squinting his eyes just a bit at the shadowy figure, Shiro arched a brow and began to slow his walking towards the inside of the cave. By the time he had reached the entrance to the cave, seeing the figure come out to a more clear image of who it was; seeing as it was Yukina; both of his eyes quickly shot open in shock. Quickly rushing towards the entrance to the cave at seeing Yukina being safe, relief had struck him as he made his way to her side. "Yukina! Miss Yukina!" He called out to her in concern as he kneeled by her side before placing a single hand onto her head. Feeling the heat that came off of her forehead gave him worry that she had gotten sick from the amount of sun that she must've soaked in; not to mention without any source of water or food. Immediately getting up to grab a container of water from the satchel on the horse; Shiro shook Yukina as best as he could to try to wake her up, unaware of the snake bite that she had gotten during the time he was searching for her.

Yukina groand. She could here someone calling out to her,and feel somone shaking her. Maybe she had finaly lost it. She opened her eyes slightly,and saw the blurry form of Shiro.She had to warn him of the snake,it was in there somewhere."sn....snake",she managed to grt out,her throught burning and started to cough violently turning onto her side

While Shiro had continued to shake Yukina to get her to reopen her eyes and come through so that he could help her drink some water. Just seeing as how she was able to open up her eyes just slightly was a miracle to him; knowing that she was alive made him feel as though there was just at least a tiny bit of hope that she would be able to survive the way back to the city. His hopes though were soon crushed in an instant when he had been able to hear Yukina whisper a faint and struggling word of 'snake'. Tilting his head slightly as she spoke up about the word, just hearing her suddenly cough violently caused him to become even more concerned. "Snake..?" He questioned himself as to why Yukina randomly spoke up that word before checking to make sure her temperature was alright. Feeling her head heating up rather quickly; he quickly checked her wrists and ankles only to find that there was a snake bite on her ankle that was causing her to become so weak. "She's poisoned!" He whispered loudly to himself before cursing in an instant and helping her onto the large horse's saddle.

Shiro had known many different cures for poison and was most likely going to be able to help her; but with the fact that he didn't know what kind of snake it was at the time being and not to mention not having any herbs around him. The best choice he was going to be able to get was either to hurry back to the city or find some herbs somewhere in the desert as quickly as possible. Soon enough, the sound of slithering could be heard from the side of the cavern wall as Shiro turned his attention over towards the wall only to find a snake slithering it's way over towards him. "You. You did this." He spoke in a cold yet angered tone of voice as he drew his dagger out and lunged at the slithering beast; immediately stabbing it right through the body and killing it in an instant. With knowing the type of snake it was now and having the venom from it's fangs, making the antidote would be much easier. "Yukina..please..just hang on." He placed a single hand onto her forehead to feel how hot her head was getting. With the snake dead, Shiro once more helped her down onto the cave floor before ripping off a piece of his sleeve and wetting it with the water to place upon her forehead. "Just rest here Yukina..I'll be back as soon as I can. I promise." He whispered quietly; patting the horse and camel to stay with her while he traveled back out into the forest to go in search of the herbs that were needed for the antidote.

Yukina sighed softly feeling Shiro's hand on her forehead. To her it felt nice and cool to her. Then hearing the manic in his voice made her worried. She tried to focus on him but just felt like going to sleep again.She felt like jello when Shiro helped her onto the horse. She leaned against the horse's neck and started to get conferrable when she heard the snake. She tried to tell Shiro but couldn't speak any more. She was able to open her eyes long enough to see Shiro kill the snake,then as he had walked towards her she felt herself slipping back into a deep sleep. She was aware that she was being lifted back off the horse and onto the cool cave floor. Then felt something cold on her forehead. Shiro's voice sounded as if it was far off ,and then she felt his presence leave. Then it was quite ,she could hear the horse and the camel she muttered out Shiro's name before falling back into a deep sleep,the world around going quite.
