Prologue – Rikkai's Future Queen

He was dead. He knew it. He died. With his half-closed eyes, he could see a bright light. Is that God he sees? So he's going to heaven now. He wasn't even able to see his parents, his brother, or his cat before he even died. It was unfair but he had lived a good life so he had no regrets.

But then as he was headed to the light, he saw a place with a water fountain and full of plants and flowers. And suddenly, he saw that he was going to crash on a brick walkway face first. He quickly protected his face with his arms and fell down on the hard and rough cold ground and before he fainted was a person with a horror-stricken look on his face he last saw before his world had gone black.

"Your Highness!" a voice called out. A prince was seated in a red velvet chair with a cup of tea and cup plate in his hands. He was a young man with a very handsome face. He turned his head to the direction of the voice.

"Hm? What is it?" he questioned. The servant cleared his throat before he spoke.

"Sire! We have found an injured boy in the castle gardens!"

"An injured boy in the castle gardens?" the prince repeated with a slight frown. What could an injured boy be doing in the gardens? How did a boy even get there? Besides, no one could possibly trespass since the castle was well-guarded by the castle guards in case if someone tried to break in.

"Yes, sire! And it seems that the boy isn't from our world. He might have accidentally entered the portal to here and the signal came from earth." the servant stated. This had intrigued the young prince. A foreigner in the castle..? Interesting…

"Oh? From earth? Where is he now then?" he asked quite interested. He really liked foreigners from other worlds and liked to know more the customs of their worlds. In his world, their customs and other stuff had been inspired by those from different worlds, but a foreigner in his world in his castle? This he just had to see.

"He's been taken inside the castle and is staying in one of the castle guestrooms, sire." the servant replied.

"I see… Well, then… I shall see this boy then." The prince said and gently put down the teacup with the cup plate on the table and stood up.

"I shall lead you to where he's resting then, Your Highness…"

"Here he is, Your Highness…" the servant said quietly not to awaken the boy resting on the bed all tucked up. The prince nodded.

"Dismissed." he said and the servant went to the door, got out, and gently closed the door behind. The prince went to the boy's side. He was surprised at the sight before his eyes. It was him.

'My, my… We meet again, huh, old friend? This must be fate.'

He brought a hand to the young one's face and brushed away some strands of hair from his face and smiled down warmly at the boy with angelic features despite the bandages on his face. He looked so innocent and vulnerable in his sleep.

'You look almost the same… I take it you're still that bratty little boy I knew from before, huh?'

He inwardly chuckled. How he missed those times they had spent together. Ever since he had to go back to his world to his kingdom, they hadn't been able to meet each other, not even once, and here his childhood love was in his world in his castle. This just had to be fate.

'I wonder if he remembers me... It's been such a long time, he probably doesn't…'

He snapped out of his thoughts as a knock from the door was heard. He composed himself and asked the knocker to come in. A servant, different from the previous one that had just left, quietly comes into the room.

"Yes, what is it?" the prince asked with his eyes closed and back turned.

"Your Highness, the king wishes to speak with you. It is about your marriage." The servant informed. The prince turned around and smiled.

"Oh, I don't think that'll be necessary." The prince replied nonchalantly. "Tell him I've already decided whom I want to marry."

The servant was taken aback. The prince finally found someone he wanted to marry and he was actually…. smiling..? By the way the prince was looking at the young boy lovingly on the bed, it was quite clear who the prince was going to be marrying.

"As you wish, sire..." The servant said and took his leave. The prince turned his attention back to the boy.

'Well, then… I guess father will not have any problems about me not getting married anymore, right?'

He leaned down and gave the boy a kiss on the forehead before walking to the door to take his leave.

'He'll make a very fine bride… Echizen Ryoma…'

"What's taking so long? Damn traffic! It's been hours! Aren't we there yet?" an impatient blonde teen complained.

"Quiet, Kevin… You're making my ears bleed…" a boy who's the same age as the blonde said.

"But Ryoma..! The traffic's been going on for too long! I'd rather walk than sit here doing nothing..!" Kevin retorted. Ryoma sighed heavily.

"Whatever. Just shut up." he muttered. Kevin groaned in his seat. Hours had already passed and still they weren't home yet. He was getting bored. He's been getting a headache from riding the taxi for too long plus the jet lag. Few minutes later, the traffic light finally showed a green light and the taxi continued on the road.

"Finally…" Kevin sighed in relief. The taxi suddenly stopped as a car sped past them and he and Ryoma almost fell off their seats

"What the heck- That damn driver almost got us crashing!" the driver said angrily. Ryoma and Kevin looked at each other and just shrugged. The driver continued on driving and Kevin and Ryoma just sat patiently – Kevin though, wasn't really being patient – in the car, looking outside the window.

"What the…" Kevin narrowed his eyes, leaning closer to the window. He quickly leaned back and reached his hand out for Ryoma.

"Hey, Ryoma-"

"What?" Ryoma said impatiently as Kevin was shaking his shoulder with his hand for his attention and turned his head to him.

"A truck… A truck! Ryoma, a truck..!" Kevin said, panicked. Ryoma frowned in confusion. A truck? What was Kevin talking about? This had captured the driver's attention. A truck was headed towards them like crazy and it doesn't seem like it was going to stop any sooner.

"What the-"

"What do you mean, Kev-"

"RYOMA….!"

SCCCCCRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCHHHHHHH…..!

CCCCCRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSHHHHHH!

"Hey, you think he's going to come through..?" a voice said. It was a man's and it certainly didn't sound familiar.

"Of course! Look! He's already waking up!" another voice said but deeper. Ryoma's eyes fluttered open. He sat up slowly and put a hand to his forehead. He was still alive? He thought he had already died.

Ryoma saw that his hands were covered with bandages. He looked up to see a redhead and a bald tanned guy. He had never met them before.

"Hey, there, your majesty. Are you feeling better? You were badly injured when we found you…"

"Who are you..? And why are you calling me your majesty..?" Ryoma narrowed his eyes. He looked around his surroundings and saw that the room was filled with very expensive looking furniture and surely this was no hospital. "Where am I?"

"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself! I'm Marui Bunta." the redhead who was now known as Marui answered. "And this guy with me here," he said, pointing at the bald guy who just smiled at him. "is Jackal. Jackal Kuwahara and you, sire, are inside the prince's castle."

"I don't remember Japan having any princes…" Ryoma raised a brow.

"Japan? What is this Japan? Is it food?" Marui asked, tilting his head in confusion.

"Don't joke around, mister. I just came back to Japan to America and clearly, your name is Japanese and you're also speaking in Japanese." Ryoma rolled his eyes.

"America? Japan? Japanese? Weird words… I though I was speaking in Rikkaian?" Marui said, scratching his cheek with his finger. Ryoma frowned. Is he stupid? Does he think he's just as stupid as he was?

"Very funny…" Ryoma said in sarcasm. "But you can't fool me…"

"Marui, I think he means his language." Jackal stated. Marui just let out an ohh past his lips while Ryoma stared at them both looking confused which Jackal took notice of.

"As you can see, your majesty, we are speaking in Rikkaian and to why it seems like Japanese is because the prince had sent someone to cast a spell on you for you to understand us." Jackal informed the confused boy. "Rikkaian is the language we speak here in Rikkai which is where you are right now."

"I don't believe you." Ryoma said bluntly to which made Jackal sigh.

"I knew you weren't going to believe us. We found you in the castle gardens. It seems you have entered through one of the portals that lead here to this world. They sometimes appear in different places. You were injured then and we took you to this guestroom. We had informed the prince of this and he seems to have taken a liking to you."

"And," Marui cut in "the prince decided that he will take you as his bride!" he said happily. The young boy's eyes had widened as the words had sunk into his mind. This had to be a joke and this wasn't very funny at all. A love between two guys, it was immoral and disgusting. Ryoma's face had gone green.

"Are you alright, sire?" Jackal asked with a worried tone. Ryoma rubbed his temples. This just had to be a bad dream. He's in the hospital and he's dreaming! Of course! That's just got to be it! And his family is probably there, practically waiting for him to wake up right now.

"I'm fine. I just want to wake up…" Ryoma answered which made Jackal and Marui both confused.

"But you are awake, your majesty..." Marui said slowly as he did not understand what the boy had meant.

"I'm dreaming. This marrying the prince thing isn't real." Ryoma said smugly. "And neither are you two." He pointed at them.

"You've got it all wrong, sire. But this is no dream." Jackal said abruptly. Ryoma frowned at the bald guy.

"Oh, yeah? I'll close my eyes and pinch myself. When I open them, all of this'll be gone." He said, closing his eyes and giving his shoulder a pinch. Marui just watched amusedly and snickered at the boy who was waiting for something to happen. Nothing.

Ryoma opened his eyes. He was still in his dream.

"What the… " Ryoma muttered. "But I thought…"

"We told you so." Marui grinned, trying to stifle his laughter. Ryoma froze, bewildered. This is a dream, right? But the pinch hurt. That wouldn't have hurt if it was just… a dream. In a swift motion, Ryoma got out of bed within the blinks of Marui's and Jackal's eyes. Quickly, Marui pounced and made a grab for Ryoma's legs, making him fall to the floor.

"Let go of me, you bastard!" Ryoma hissed, trying to struggle out of Marui's hold and kick him in the face while Jackal took out a pair of cuffs which Ryoma didn't know where the heck did he even get them but all he knew was the baldy was headed right to him.

"Jackal, do it now!" Marui ordered as he held Ryoma, who was now kicking him in the face, by his wrists.

'What the hell do these freaks want to do with me?!'

Ryoma kept kicking the poor redhead who now had a bleeding nose which he accidentally hit as he tried to escape from him but then the baldy had cuffed his hand and helped Marui pull him to the four poster bed and cuffed him to it. Ryoma tried to get off the bed but was held back.

"Shit!" he cursed, trying to break the handcuffs but it was no use.

"You didn't need to do that you know…" Marui said, covering his bleeding nose with his hands.

"You should calm down, your majesty." Jackal said to the boy who gave him a glare.

"Do you expect me to calm down in this state?" Ryoma said mockingly. Jackal just looked at him apologetically.

"We're sorry, your majesty… His Highness had ordered us to… " he said in a guilty tone and bowed to him.

"Just in case if you tried to do what you had just tried do." Marui quickly added.

"Unchain me..!" Ryoma demanded, inwardly seething. Both Marui and Jackal just shook their heads.

"Unchain me." Ryoma said, this time ever so calmly. Again, Marui and Jackal shook their heads.

"And why not?" he asked in a deadly tone.

"It's just like he said, prince's orders." Marui simply replied. The two shuddered. The prince was a scary person when angered. No one should ever get into his bad side. Ryoma did not care whoever this prince person was and wanted only to get out of this freaking place and go home to where his family and Karupin was.

"I don't care what the prince has said! Just unchain me!"

"We're sorry, your majesty, but we are to obey the prince's orders." Jackal apologized.

"But I'm… his… fiancé" Ryoma said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, but not officially." Jackal smiled as he went headed to the door. Ryoma scoffed.

"Don't be like that, your majesty. You're going to be married! Smile at least!" Marui laughed, following Jackal to the door.

"Hey, wait. You're not leaving me, are you?" Ryoma demanded. They can't just leave him chained to the bed all alone!

"Oh, but we are, your majesty. Don't worry, we'll be back. We are assigned to take care of you." The redhead answered, about to close the door.

"Wait!"

"We'll see you again."

And with a smile, Marui closed the door. Ryoma slumped to the bed and ran a hand in frustration to his head.

'This CANNOT be happening to me..!'

TBC…
