Hey there! I decided that maybe I could try something new! And by the way, I may be deleting some of my less popular Shugo Chara stories. So you can relax since I know I'll be keeping Midnight Blue Servant, Rebel Star, and Shugo Chara Turnaround. And this is a new one that popped in my head and I REALLY wanted to write! I don't own Shugo Chara! Enjoy ~nya!


Ikuto's POV

Today was the worst day of my immortal life. It was coronation day. I was the eldest sibling of the family, with dark blue hair and matching eyes. So obviously being the eldest, I was next in line for the throne. But this was no kingdom. This was Hell; literally. My father, Aruto, has decided to step down from the position of king because he believed I showed all the potential to be a great leader. My mother, Souko, was also stepping down as her position as queen. She was a wonderful leader and still is a great mother. She always smiled and told me I would grow up to do great things.

But the thing is I don't want to rule an entire world. I don't want a bunch of immortals kissing the ground I walk on. I just wanted to be free and live my life the way I choose. Of course, one can do that as the king, but there are also expectations. I always longed to be free; to see a world outside of Hell. What were the other worlds like? Were the creatures there nice? What did they like to do? A knock on my door interrupted my thoughts. I sat up on my bed and looked at the door.

"You may enter," I said.

"Ohayo Ikuto," my little sister, Utau, greeted. Her long blonde hair was tied into pigtail braids with red ribbons. Her amethyst eyes bored into my sapphire ones. "You aren't ready yet? Dad is waiting, you know. This is an important day for the family as well as for you. I know you don't want to do this, but I'm sure you'll see that it's not that bad."

"Fine, fine," I told her, shooing her away with my hand. After she left, I jumped out of bed and went to the chair where my coronation clothes were laid on. It was black dress pants and a white, button-up blouse, black leather shoes to match. I didn't want to wear the red cape, but I didn't have much of a choice.

With a heavy sigh, I trudged out of my room and to the throne room, the worst day of my life just beginning. But little did I know, it would turn into the best day I would ever remember.


"I announce that the crown will be passed down to Ikuto Tsukiyomi," my father declared, placing the gold crown on my head. "But before you can become king," he suddenly added, making the crowd gasp, even surprising me, "you must go out to find a queen." What!? I had to find someone to be a queen!? But I'm a demon; a creature incapable of love. "I will give you a year to travel the many worlds to find a girl, woo her, and ask her to be your queen. I know how much you wanted to travel, and I'm granting you just that. Plus, why not add a little variety into the family line," he finished, winking at me. Like father like son as my mother always said.

I finally had a chance to go out, have some freedom. Although I did have a mission, my father still wanted me to be happy. "I accept this mission," I declared and the horde of Hell's creatures cheered.

I was soon led to the gate hall of the palace. The gate hall was the place where various doors connected Hell with many other worlds. I was told to choose a door and that would be the world I would start with. Looking around, no other door caught my eye except the door to Heaven. But everyone knew that was a line never to be crossed. Suddenly, I found a worn-out door near the corner. It looked like it wasn't used in centuries like all the others. This would be interesting. Turning the knob, I slowly opened the door with a creek, stepping inside.


Before I knew what I happening, I was hanging upside down in tree. But it was nothing like the trees I knew. It was green and healthy, not burnt by flames. I sat upright and then the sound of chirping resounded from above. Looking up, I found a breathtaking sight. The whole scene was a beautiful light blue, white puffs floating with the breeze. I only read about a sky and the clouds in books as a child, but I never knew how beautiful they were seeing them in person.

Deciding to start looking around, I just out of the green tree with ease, landing on the lush, green grass. I followed an empty pavement walkway, thinking about my father's words. I guess I could just take a random girl that looks good enough for a queen of Hell. But I had to make sure she wasn't a total bitch or slut. And that's when it hit me! I was bumped into and fell flat on my ass.

Angry at my bruised butt, I looked up to glare at the pest who dared bump into me. "Watch where you're–" But my words caught in my throat when I saw that it was a girl; a beautiful girl at that. Her bubblegum pink her cascaded gently on her shoulders, X-clips holding to little pigtails up. I couldn't see her face since she was facing sideways, picking fruits and vegetables up and putting them back in a paper bag.

"Great, they're all ruined now," her silk voice whispered. Her voice sounded like soothing bells, a tune that could calm any rage. The girl quickly turned to me and bowed. "Sorry for the inconvenience, but I need to go." And then, she was gone. I saw her eyes. They were an enchanting honey-gold. I felt as if I stared any longer, they would suck me in. That girl was the one I wanted. She was everything I was looking for and everything I wanted. But first, I needed to know her name.


How is that? I know it'll never be as good as my favorite story, The Purest of Them All, but I want to become a great writer like that. Bye for now ~nya!
