A/n:

Finally, I got this fic up! This chapter is going to be super short, but the next one will long I promise! :) Enjoy!

Gomen this is rushed.

"How is that, you get to be king and I don't?! I'm the most responsible one here!" Choromatsu crossed his arms with a grunt, muttering about how unfair it was.

Osomatsu chuckled at his brother's jealousy. Today, is to be his coronation. His parents had retired from the throne and were now far away from the country. They sent him their blessings and hoped for the best. His coronation; did not go without controversy. A lot of people in his court thought he wasn't ready for the throne. That, he was too irresponsible. Even his own brothers' agreed.

People were going to attend anyway, no matter how hesitant they were about their new King. Nobles were expected to come. There were people outside waiting for their king to greet them. It made Osomatsu nervous, knowing thousands of people were going to watch. He hides it, by wearing his usual lazy grin.

His younger brothers were already waiting. Karamatsu had given him his blessing a long time ago. So had Ichimatsu and Jyushimatsu-well sort of, Ichimatsu had asked, how long it will take for him to get assassinated. Jyushimatsu didn't seem to understand, what was going on.

Todomatsu grunted at him, just like Choromatsu. He was upset, he wasn't king.

His brothers decided to toss their bitterness for one day and celebrate. Except for Choromatsu, of course.

"You think you can help me out, Choromatsu?"

Osomatsu was wearing military attire. Even though, he had never served the military in his life. On this occasion he had to wear it. It consisted of red and gold. Choromatsu was wearing the same thing, but green. His younger brother fastened the buttons on his suit.

"You better not fuck this up, Osomatsu." His little brother grumbled, inspecting his brother's suit for any glaring mess-ups.

"Thanks, Choromatsu, for your everlasting support of your big brother." Osomatsu grinned at his brother.

Choromatsu frowned at him, "I didn't mean it like that, I just-"

Choromatsu was cut short when the door opened revealing Karamatsu. His attire was the same. Except, for the fact that his was sparkling. Osomatsu winced at his brother's painfulness. He thought Choromatsu should have focused his attention more on making sure Karamatsu didn't embarrass him at the coronation.

"We're ready, my brother."

"We'll be with you in a minute." Choromatsu didn't turn to face his older brother. The door closed once again.

Choromatsu glanced at his brother, a frown still present on his face. Osomatsu felt uneasy. Was he going to scold him again? He had enough of that, already. He was tired of it. His younger brother clasped his hands on his brother's shoulders, "I'm just worried about you, that's all. I fear the pressure, might-"

Osomatsu held his hand up in the air to stop him, "I'll be fine, Choromatsu. You WORRY way too much! Your brother has this in the bag!

Osomatsu could barely stay awake as the priest talk about his ancestors. He thought this was coronation thing was going to be fun, not another history lesson. He looks over to his brothers, and grinned. Choromatsu was giving him a death stare. Karamatsu gave him a thumbs up, Ichimatsu wasn't really paying attention himself, he awkwardly shifted around, wanting to leave while Jyushimatsu was bouncing up and down. Todomatsu rolled his eyes at him and huffed.

The rest of the audience was watching with serious looks on their faces. What a bore. He was going to change a few things when he became king.

"Your highness."

"Huh?"

"You may stand up now."

Osomatsu stood up from the floor to face the priest, he had a sword in his hands. It was dark red, "Your father had the blacksmith's forge this for you." Osomatsu stood there with a stunned expression, he slowly took the sword from the priest's hand. He unsheathes the sword and held it up in the air. A chorus of people shouted, chanting his name.

He felt a thrill overwhelm him. Choromatsu was smiling at him now, clapping his hands in signs of support.

The priest gestured towards the throne behind them, "You may now take a seat-"

The door blasted open to reveal soldiers entering the room, a man with a suit walked in the room, he had a staff in his hands and a scar on his right eye. He grinned maliciously at everyone. The people moved out of the wizard's way.

"Ahh, Osomatsu-kun. It's been so long since I last saw you."

"Tougou."

Osomatsu's lowered his sword, a serious look written on his face. He clenched at the handle tightly. His brothers were quickly by his side. Holding their own swords.

"What do you want?" Osomatsu asked, he stepped forward. He appeared to be fearless, deep down. He was scared. He remembered that voice all too well. It had been years since he had seen this man.

"What do I want?" He repeated the question with a snarl, "You know exactly, what I want."

"You're supposed to be in prison." Choromatsu said, this time, "We had you locked away-"

"If you think sealing me away while using magic bindings, was going to stop me. You thought wrong, my apprentice."

"I'm not your apprentice, anymore." He spat.

"I'm not letting you get the throne. You're going to have to fight me." Osomatsu glared at the wizard with disgust.

"With pleasure." He blasted Osomatsu with dark magic. His body slammed onto the throne. The wizard laughed, "This is your king, everyone. You expect to rely an entire country on this boy. He could bring this kingdom to shambles!"

Choromatsu quickly went to his brother's aid, "Osomatsu!"

"Oh no, you don't." He murmured an ancient spell under his breath. Choromatsu felt his feet freeze to the floor.

"Choromatsu!" Karamatsu cried out, rushing towards them.

He hurled another wave of dark magic. Choromatsu deflected it by summoning a shield at the last moment.

Ichimatsu and Jyushimatsu were already at Osomatsu's side, helping him up. Choromatsu murmured a spell under his breath. The Ice melted under his feet.

Todomatsu ran towards Choromatsu, helping him up along with Karamatsu.

"Are you alright, Choromatsu-niisan?"

"Osomatsu."

"The Matsuno reign has ended!" Tougou held up his staff. A loud roar is heard. The ceilings caved in to see a dragon making its appearance

"We have to leave!" Karamatsu urged, "It's too dangerous!"

Choromatsu nodded. He glanced over to his brothers who were watching him. They were relying on him now to get them out. Jyushimatsu had Osomatsu over his shoulders. He was still unconscious.

Rubble was coming down from the ceiling, people were running out the throne room, several people were lying on the ground. Blood stained their floors.

"Oh god..."

"Choromatsu! Get it together!"

Choromatsu snapped out of his thoughts and nodded, "Everyone get close to me. I'm going to teleport us out of here!" Jyushimatsu and Ichimatsu ran towards their brother. Tougou locked eyes with Choromatsu.

"Leaving so soon?" He grinned.

"Get them!" He held up his staff again, ordering the dragon to attack them.

"Choromatsu!"

"I need to concentrate!" Choromatsu said. He took a deep breath. Despite, the threat closing in on them. He murmured an ancient language under his breath. A seal appears below them. Before, the dragon could attack. They disappeared.

They appeared out on the field; that was facing their home. It was now in shambles. Half of the palace was destroyed by Tougou. The village that was below was partially set on fire. People running away from the soldiers that stormed the streets.

"We're safe." Todomatsu breathed a sigh of relief.

"But, they're not." Karamatsu frowned at the people running away from their homes.

"We have to keep going." Choromatsu pants. The magic that he had used, drained him.

"Well, that didn't last long." Ichimatsu scoffed. He had been quiet the entire time. Choromatsu glared at him.

"Let's go." Choromatsu sighed.

Karamatsu looked back at his home sadly. He didn't want to leave. He wanted to help his subjects. But, he also had to help his brother. With a sigh, he followed his brothers, not looking back.

They traveled for what seemed like hours. Todomatsu was starting to complain about his legs hurting and how he couldn't walk anymore. The brothers just had enough of his complaining. They spot a barn not too far from when they were. The brothers exchanged looks at one another, they sighed and went inside the barn.

They placed Osomatsu on some hay. The rest of the brothers did the same.

Osomatsu felt warmth on his chest. He cracked his eyes open to see Choromatsu staring down at him. His hands on his chest, the green light illuminated throughout the room.

"Where are we?" His voice was hoarse.

"Away." Choromatsu answered.

He went to sit up, "Don't." Choromatsu warned, "They're burns on your chest from where Tougou hit you with his magic."

"Tougou." He hissed.

Choromatsu removed his hands from his chest when he was done. Osomatsu sat up from his best and took a look around. They were on an old abandoned farm. His brothers were sleeping soundly on hay. He and Choromatsu were the only ones awake.

"Are you okay?" His brother asked, clearly worried about his older brother.

"Does it look like I'm okay?" Osomatsu glared at his brother, "I just lost my home."

"I-I'm sorry."

Osomatsu looked at the sword that lay on the hay. He turns away from it. He failed. He failed as a king.

He couldn't even protect his home from danger.

How pathetic is that?

"I failed."

"No." He grabs his brother's hand, "You didn't. It came as a surprise. We weren't prepared.

"That's the thing, Choromatsu." Osomatsu hardened his glare, "We weren't prepared. Due to that, we're screwed."

"I wonder if mom and dad are okay." Choromatsu decided to change the subject. He wondered; if his parents were safe. Sure, they were out of the country. He feared Tougou would go after them too. After all, he had a bone to pick with them too.

"I'm sure they are."

His face softened. He squeezed Choromatsu's hand, "What are we going to do?" His brother asked.

"We fight back."
