Chapter 1: Prologue
"Gid-sama."
"What Zastin?" Zastin bows before the king and spoke.
"Someone had aboard the ship without us noticing." Gid raises an eyebrow, staring at him.
"And who can that be?" Zastin stood up straight, laughing nervously. The king narrowed his eyes, seeing nothing funny "what's so funny, Zastin? Cause I don't see nothing funny."
"Well your majesty... I can't tell because, well, if I do then she'll beat me into a pulp."
"What?" He laughs as he tried not to flinch under his lord's dark stare "who is she?" He watches him chuckled while scratching his cheek. He stare at him, noticing something different about him. His shoulders were tense, his cape looks tattered, and on his left cheek, there's a slight bruise like someone punch him in the cheek, there also a bit of dust on his armor as well. He blinks his eyes and open his mouth "Zastin?" Said man slightly flinch.
"Yes Gid-sama?"
"You look like shit." Zastin nervously laughs while a snickered was heard behind him. He rested his cheek on his hand, and roll his eyes "seriously Zastin, you look like shit. It's like someone beat the crap out of you." He said, closing his eyes.
"Well... you see Gid-sama... I was having difficulties with some... minor problems." He suddenly starts to lean forward but caught himself before falling over. He sighs in relief and took a quick glance behind him "can you please behave yourself or he'll find out."
"Find out what?" He turns his head to see Gid staring at him "What do you mean by that?"
"Oh nothing for you to worry about, Gid-sama." He said, followed by a snicker.
"What was that?"
"What was what?" This time a chuckle was heard.
"Zastin? Did you chuckle just now?"
"What? No I didn't, Gid-sama. Besides, I don't think none of this is funny." Another chuckle.
"I hear it again."
"I didn't hear anything." He kick back and look behind himself "will you cut that out please?"
"Who are you talking to?" He turns around and smiles.
"No one." Gid narrowed his eyes while Zastin tried not give anything away. He's acting real suspicious and if he thinks that he can surprise him with some dumb tricks, then he is going to feel his wrath. He's in no mood for games and he'll demonstrate by beating the crap out of him "please stop laughing."
"Zastin."
"Yes Gid-sama?" He flinch when he saw his lord giving him a dark stare.
"I'm done playing games. You're acting really suspicious, you keep looking behind yourself, and I keep hearing laughter." He glare heatedly and growls "but that's okay because you found it hilarious, but I don't find it funny at all." Zastin gulps "now you better tell me what's going on or I'll-"
"Jeez, we were just having fun." said a voice, cutting him off "I mean I was the one who told him not to spoil it anyway. So don't get your tail in a twist, onii-san." Suddenly, a small figure walked out from behind Zastin and grins "besides I was hoping if you can help me with something." Gid's expression change from anger to disbelief as he stare at the intruder.
"Mimi?"
At the Yuuki household, everything is quiet minus the sound in the living room, as Momo and Nana are watching the television while Celine ate noodles. Suddenly, a loud sound was heard causing the twin to get up and walk out to the halls, only to find Rito and Lala on the floor in a very provocative position; with his head between her legs, and his hand on her breast. His face is beet red and he had a look of embarrassment before hearing a voice.
"Rito." He looks up and flinch as Nana gives him a dark stare, quickly gets off of Lala.
"Wait, it's not what it-"
"YOU BEAST." Before he can prove his innocence, she tackle him on the ground and put him in a headlock "you freakin' pervert, trying molest my sister huh?"
"Nana, let go of Rito."
"Why?"
"Cause he didn't mean it. We accidentally bump into each others." Nana looks back to her older sister and Rito, choosing whether to let him go or not before making letting him go.
"Fine." She said. He took deep breaths as she stood up and walked back to the living room; along with Momo as she began to scold her twin. Once he was sober, he turns to Lala while rubbing his throat.
"Lala... can you... please put on some... clothes."
"Hai." She said before running upstairs as he began to stand up. He shook his head and sigh as he walked into the kitchen. He took out a carton of juice and pour into the glass while thinking about how messed up his day is. First he woke up to Momo sleeping next to him, then bump into Lala and almost got choked from Nana. This is just full on craziness. He sighs as he put the juice back in the fridge and began to chug it down, hoping and praying that this day won't get any crazy then it is.
"Rito? Where are you?"
"In here." He answered as he began to clean the glass. Soon his sister, Mikan, walk in front of the kitchen "what is it that you need?"
"Someone wants to talk to you." She hands him his phone and walks away. He watch his sister leave before he answered.
"Hello?"
"Rito-sama."
"Zastin?! When did you got my number?" A sigh was heard on the other line.
"That's not important, right now. What's important is what I'm about to ask of you." Rito raises an eyebrow.
"What do you mean? What's so important for you to call me?"
"Well you see-"
"Rito." Said boy looks up from the phone and towards the kitchen entrance "I'm going to buy some groceries, do you want to come with me?"
"Yeah just let me finish the conversation." His sister nods before walking away "sorry Zastin but I have to go somewhere with my sister. We can talk when I get back okay?"
"No Rito wait-"
He hung up the phone as he walked out the kitchen to put the phone back "Rito, you're coming?"
"Yeah I'm coming. He said, walking to the door, putting on his shoes as Mikan hold onto Celine. Once he's done, he stood up and stretch as she called out the others.
"Lala, Nana, Momo, we're heading out."
"Okay later." The siblings nodded before heading out the door.
"So onii-san, how are you?" Gid chuckles.
"Good. How are you?" His sister smiles, sitting on the arm of his throne.
"Splendid. My husband and I was doing important stuff, you know politics or something like that." She frowns "but imagine my surprise while this was going on, my boys sneak away and you can guess where they went?" Gid raises an eyebrow.
"Earth?"
"Bingo." She grins, showing her sharp teeth "so when I heard you're going there, I thought 'what the hell, I come along too' and besides." She look at her brother "it's been too long since I seen my adorable nieces."
"Yeah it have." He frown when he saw his sister, grinning mischievously "what?"
"I heard my niece have a fiance. Is it true or just made up?" He groan, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Unfortunately it's true." His frown deepens when his sister laughs "it's not funny."
"Of course it is." She jumps off the chair and turn around, placing her hand on her hip "your oldest daughter ran away, avoiding all this arranged marriage, only to have a fiance in the end." She smirk "I think you're losing your touch, onii-san."
"Shut up." She laughs as he glares but soften for a bit. As she laughs, his eyes roam over her physique. Long crimson waist-length hair, put in a half ponytail, ruby earrings shaping like teardrop, long white off-shoulder dress with diamond shape down the front, white finger-loop gloves that reach her upper arms and golden shoes. She open her eyes and raise an eyebrow.
"What?"
"Nothing. Just wondering how I got a beautiful sister."
"Cause I was born that way."
"Whatever you say, Mimi."
Meanwhile on earth, the three princesses are relaxing, watching television. It was quiet in the house and if you ask me kind of boring. Nana blink her eyes, leaning on her hand while her twin sat next to her. She twirl her hair, frowning a bit before sighing "I'm bored."
"Well go somewhere else." Momo glares at her sister.
"And where should I suppose to go hmm?"
"Anywhere that's doesn't annoy me." A pillow hits her face. She turns her head to see Momo smirking "oh you little-"
"Nana, Momo wanna go out somewhere?" The twin princesses turn and look at their older sister, who's smiling "we can go to the park, and maybe meet with our friends. So you wanna go?"
"Yeah." Soon the princesses stood up and ran at the door after turning off the television. Once they put on their shoes, they went out the door and closes it, excited to hang with their friends.
Unbeknownst of them, as they walked from the house, three mysterious male beings were roof hopping before landing in the garden. One of them look through the door, trying to see if anyone was here while two of them look at the garden. Seeing no one was home, they step back and began to open the door, shaking their head in disappointment before calling the others to follow them, going in the house but after taking off their shoes and leaving them on the porch.
"Man that was tiring." Rito took off his shoes before helping Celine with her shoes. Once that was done, he went into the kitchen while she went to the living room "Lala, Nana, Momo, I'm home." He waited for response but when he heard none, he shrugged "they probably left while we were gone." He shrugs, putting the groceries on the table and taking them out the bags.
As he did the task, he heard Celine giggling, filling the room with her laughter. He smiles putting everything in their rightful place. After making sure everything is good, he nodded before looking at the clock. Another giggle was heard causing him to smile, shaking his head thinking she's playing. He was about to call her name until he heard an unfamiliar voice.
"Hey watch it. Don't want you to get hurt, cutie." Celine giggles along with laughter. He blink his eyes, wondering who's that person "you're so cute."
"She sure is."
"I wonder if she had parents or some kind of guardian watching her." Rito's eyes widen in horror after hearing more voices. There's three people in his house, and he didn't hear them come in. What kind of people are they?
"She said her Papa is watching her." A pause "she also said she went shopping with Papa and they had fun." The stranger chuckles "that sounds like fun, Celine." Wait? They know her name?!
"Dude, I hope you don't start babying her."
"And why not? She's adorable."
"Because it's weird."
"You're weird."
"Okay let's not start a fight, you two." Unbeknownst of them, Rito is slowly creeping to the living room, holding a broom in his hands and making sure they wouldn't hear him. He can tell these people are male from the sound of their voice and they've been here long ago. So they probably got here after he left with his sister. But if they came here while he was gone then where Lala and her sisters?
'Did they let them in the house? No I didn't see them while leaving. So they must've got here when they not here but how did they get in?' He press his back against the wall and frown 'they didn't went through the front door cause their shoes ain't there. So that means through the garden.' His breath hitch when the intruders laugh.
"Oh my god I wanna take this sweetheart and keep her."
"So you can spoil her? Fat chance."
"Oh hush you." As they continue to talk, Rito tried to calm his beating heart, wondering if he should face them or not. It's three against one; an uneven battle, a battle he might lose. But if he don't face them now then they might find him or steal Celine and take her to God's know where.
"It's all for nothing." So taking a deep breath, raising the broom above his head, and from the top of his lungs, he yelled. Running into the room with eyes close, he took a first swing of the broom, hoping it landed a hit. Time seem to stop as everything became quiet. There was no sound as all he can hear is his beating heart. He then tried to take the broom but found he couldn't move it like someone's holding it.
Sensing he was being watched, Rito took a big gulp and slowly open his eyes, facing the intruders. Once they were fully open, the first thing he see is a gloved hand, holding the broom. He blink then look up to see three boys, staring at him with shocked expression. They seem to have dark blue hair but one has gray eyes while two of them has maroon eyes. They're wearing clothing that are not from here but seem awfully familiar.
He was thinking that these intruders are just cosplayers until his eyes widen when he saw something. Behind their backs, swishing back and forth are long, black tails with diamond tip; tails that he's able to recognize. He look back up, stared at the silver eyed boy and gulp. Tense awkwardness filled the room as neither party move a muscle, just stare which goes for a few minutes until they did one thing that popped in their heads.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH."
They screamed.
