A man dressed in black looked at a crystal ball. A black cat hopped on his lap and the man stroked its fur gently. The crystal showed the pictures of the seven kings, one by one.
"One city, seven kings…" he said.
It stopped at the picture of Mikoto Suoh, the third king, the Red King. The man smiled wickedly.
"Soon, your reign is about to end… Mikoto Suoh *evil laugh*"
A girl with long black hair, sea green eyes sat calmly at a rooftop of a building. She wears a dark gray tank top, with a white motorcycle jacket tied around her waist, black jeans, and combat boots.
"Shizume City… A peaceful and calm city… Also where the Kings reside…" she said as she looked at the busy people down below. She brought out a necklace in her pocket and opened a locket. It revealed a little girl with short black hair and green eyes just like hers.
"…Alyssa…" she whispered.
"Hey! Hey! Pssst! Akari-chan! Hurry up!" yelled down a voice below.
"Yeesh. Here are those idiots again." Akari said as she stood up. She took one last look at the city and jumped off the building.
*insert "Kings" K theme song here*
She landed gracefully when she jumped off.
"What the hell was that for?!" shouted a guy beside her.
"Calm down. I'm safe aren't I? You don't have to be so cranky Makou-kun." She said.
"How dare you call me so informally? Even though you will be the next Master, I'm still older than you!" he yelled.
"Whatever, Makou-bozu." She said.
"Did you just call me a kid?!" he shouted "Why you…" he was beginning to punch her when someone grabbed his hand.
"Eh. That's enough Makou. You should know better to treat a lady." Said a brown-haired boy just as the same age as Akari's, wearing a black hoodie and jeans.
"Aaron-kun? What are you doing here?" Akari asked.
"Master told us to pick you up. He has something to tell you." Said Aaron.
"Tch. Fine." Akari said as she followed the two men.
"Hey… I thought you're gonna confess to her…" whispered Makou to Aaron. They noticed that Akari wasn't listening.
"Don't worry. I'm gonna tell her soon." Aaron smiled.
They went into a warehouse in a dark corner of Shizume City. They first looked if no one was there, and then went inside. They went in a secret elevator. When the doors opened, it revealed a secret headquarters of the Dark Clan. A few guards walked up to them, and then the three of them showed their marks. Akari's mark is on the back of her left shoulder, Aaron on his arm, and Makou on the right side of his stomach. The guards looked at Akari and said "Welcome back, Akari-sama."
"Jeez. You don't have to address me so formally." She said. Aaron looked at her and gave her a don't-say-that look. Akari just clicked her tongue.
When they walked in the headquarters, everyone was looking at them. They stopped what they're doing and looked at them.
"You boys better go. I'll deal with this one myself." She said when she was about to open the doors of their Master's room.
"Ok. Good luck, Princess." Aaron said. Makou just rolled his eyes.
"Shut up." She said.
She opened the doors and saw a man looking at her. "Hello, Father." She said. Then she heard the doors click shut. It was dark inside the room.
"Hello, Akari." He said.
"What do you want?" she said. Her father stood up and circled around her. She saw his black cat hiss at her. "Shut up you stupid cat." She said.
"Don't be too hard on him. So…" he said. "Of course my daughter, you will be the next heir of the Dark Clan, you know that don't you?"
"O-of course. Why?" she said.
"Before I make you the next Master, I need you to do a test." He said.
"What is it?" she asked.
"You need to kill… A King. Even just one." He said.
"To kill a King? Isn't that a little too impossible Master?" she said.
"It's not impossible unless you do it… So, are you up for it?" he asked.
Akari took a deep breath and nodded. "So who King are you going to kill?" he said.
Akari clenched her fists. She knew who she wants to murder. "Who?" he asked again.
"I 'm going to kill the Red King… Mikoto Suoh!" she said.
I'm sorry if the ending makes you want to capture me, burn me, put my body in to the sea to get eaten by sharks… Sorry! But don't worry! You'll see the reason why she want to kill him… Feel free to comment!
