I am the apple of your eye.
Run around and around.
You will forever stay by my side.
Run around and around.
Until the day you die."

"Your Highness!" One of the guards of the castle ran down the steps and headed towards the throne room that was filled with everything red and gold.
"What is it?" The king sat with his head held high, stroking his pale red beard.
"There is news that the Purple Kingdom's forces are heading this way as we speak!"
"Fool! Why has such news only now reached my ears?" The king stood, his velvet robes flowing behind him as he strode to the huge window. "Send Seijuurou to the front lines! He must persuade them to stop. At least long enough for us to gather our men or else this kingdom will fall by their hands!"
"Yes, my King," the guard kneeled before him and rushed off to send word to the prince. Everything rests on his shoulders now.
"Akashi-sama?" The guard knocked on the big wooden door.
"You may come in."
The guard slowly got inside and swiftly kneeled before the only prince of the kingdom.
"The King has heard the news of the oncoming threat and has order for your highness to negotiate with their leader at least until we can gather ours."
"That is all?" Akashi never faced the guard, continuously staring out of the window. "It's time. Finally my sweet Tetsuya will be mine."

Miles away from the Red Kindom laid the Purple Kingdom. Unlike the Red Kingdom, which is known for being powerful and ready for war, the Purple Kindom has lived on with peaceful negotiating with the other Kingdoms. Right now, the citizens continued their daily lives ignorant of the coming onslaught that would befall them.
"Are you sure that the Red Kingdom has sent us a threat your Highness?" A man in armor asked the purple haired giant that rode the tallest white horse.
The man had to stop his snacking to reply to the guard, "Yes. It was signed by the Prince himself."
"Not the King?"
"We all know that once the prince turned of age, all final decisions were given to him so he could become a powerful king."
"That red headed bastard! He thinks that he can defeat us?" The guard growled.
"Mhmm," Murasakibara agreed with his mouth full of sweets.
"We'll show him! Won't we men?!" The guard shouted and the men in the back raised their swords as well. "Just because we're a peaceful nation doesn't mean we must wait to be attacked! We shall slaw their men and take their throne! I want their heads on pikes!"
Murasakibara ignored their excited yells as they were half way to the castle. "I wonder if Kuro-chin will greet me with a kiss for a job well done."
-x-x-
Finally, after riding for hours, the Purple Kingdom's army could see the castle in the distance. From closer inspection, they noticed a figure on a horse. They expected it to be a messenger that they would kill easily, but it turned out to be the very person that threatened their country.
Murasakibara made them all stop and he rode alone to the red head.
"Atsushi," Akashi nodded in respect.
"Sei-chin," Murasakibara nodded in reply. Even though the two were close to declaring war, they were oddly calm.
"Has things gone according to plan?" Akashi asked softly, his lips barely moving.
"Yes," he agreed. "We brought all of our valuable soldiers. Everyone else stayed behind."
Akashi's eyes glowed with mirth. "Perfect."
The two continued to seem as though they were negotiating, but from then on, they were actually arguing about who was closer to their favorite blue haired male. After an hour, Akashi was finally given the sign from the guards on top of the gates that protected his kingdom.
"I'll see you later, Sei-chin," Murasakibara said before turning around and heading back.
"I hope not." Akashi said loudly for him to hear. "Better off for me if you died now, but that would be against his orders."
The Purple Kingdom retreated as they were commanded by their own prince. They barely escaped a war, but the moment they returned to their kingdom, it was burned to the ground. They wept for their families and friends that were killed mercilessly, by whom they suspected to be the Red Kingdom. Their tears instantly dried and their hearts filled with vengeance as they marched towards where they just came from. They were too angry to realize that their prince no longer led them. Instead, he stood back and waited for the appearance of a blue headed man.
What happened after that was a blur. By the time they returned, the Red Kingdom already had their army and it was twice the size of the Purple's. However, with revenge in their hearts, they almost won. If only they had their prince to lead them, but he was nowhere to be found. They immediately thought that he had died in the attack, but no one survived to check if it were true or not.
Ten men of the Red Kingdom returned. It was a sad victory and no one was happy because most of their men died. They didn't know why the men that attacked them first would slay them with tears in their eyes. They didn't know that the Purple Kingdom had burned to the ground. All they knew was that ten of them barely escaped death. Once they returned with the sad news, the people wept for their fathers, sons, and brothers that had died in honor. If only they knew of what was to await them in the near future.
"I'm glad that Seijuurou was able to negotiate with them so we could gather our troops. The Kingdom would have fallen to them," the king whispered to his wife as he closed his eyes. The townspeople were still up partying for the men that saved their lives. They would mourn the next day as it was a custom after a battle they won.
Tomorrow, they would expect to stand in the court yard and hear His Majesty speak on top of his balcony with the Queen and Crown Prince behind him. They slept peacefully not knowing that the Queen's throat would be slit while they dreamt.

"Tetsuya..." Akashi moaned as he pleasured himself while being watched by a smirking Kuroko.
"Yes, Akashi?" Kuroko licked his lips.
"Please..." he whimpered.
"I'll do as you command my prince," Kuroko lowered his head and didn't flinch at all when his short hair was pulled forcefully as the other reached ecstasy.
He didn't mind since he was used to it. It was a small price to ruling a kingdom.
"When is it going to be my turn?" Murasakibara was impatient as he watched the two.
"Come," Kuroko beckoned him with a pale hand. "Don't complain in the morning when you can't move."
"Yes, Kuro-chin," his lips met soft flesh as he joined the two in their forbidden desire.

The next morning before the Kingdom would wake; the King woke to find out that his wife was killed in the middle of the night. He quickly shouted for the guards, but instead of them coming to his rescue, they chained him and hauled him out of his room. As he was taken through his castle, he noticed that his beloved red was changed to a light blue. Who did this, he didn't know and whenever he asked the guards, they glared at him with disgust as if they never served him a day in their life. The king didn't know what to expect, but the thumping in his chest told him one thing: he would be meeting his wife in the afterlife.
The king was kicked into his throne room and forced to kneel before the chair that belonged to him.
"You may raise your head."
The king did as he was told and his face turned red from anger. "You!?" He recognized Kuroko immediately and everything clicked. "After everything we've done for you? After the Black Kingdom fell, we took you in! And this is how you repay us?!"
"Hush!" Murasakibara whom had been standing on Kuroko's left, moved to kick the king but was stopped by Akashi slapping him across the face instead.
"We all know that's a lie father!" Akashi shouted.
"Seijuurou..." The king wanted to touch his throbbing cheek, but he was still chained. "Why are you letting him do this?"
"I'm sure you know why father. It was the very reason you and the other four kings destroyed the Black Kingdom that once stood above you all. It is for that very reason we are doing this."
"What nonsense you are spouting!" The king shouted. "This boy is just playing with you! Why would you go so far..." the king's mouth lowered as he realized just how strong the bond they shared was. "Don't tell me you two..." He trailed off.
"Fufu," the light blue haired male sat in the throne that once belonged to the Red Kingdom. Rather than the rich velvet cushion, it was replaced by a bright turquoise that would remind anyone of the clear blue sky above the castle. He sat with one of his legs crossed over the other, a gold chalice filled with his delicious vanilla drink made by the Purple Kingdom in his right hand. He stared down into the white liquid, swishing it around and took a sip. "Didn't your mother ever tell you to keep your son's penis in his pants?"
"How dare you," the king cursed but was then kicked by his own son.
"Seijuurou...my son," he coughed, blood splattering the marbled floor. "Please come to your senses. He's using some sort of magic to control you."
"I told you-!" Akashi lifted his leg once more, but was stopped by Kuroko clearing his throat.
"That's enough Akashi," Kuroko clasped his hands together. "Now then, your majesty," he said mockingly. "Why don't we make a bet?"
"I would never make a deal with a devil such as you," he seethed.
Kuroko's blue eyes softened, "I have to admit. For a useless king you at least have guts," his eyes then lit up with an idea. "Did you ever hear the story about Humpty Dumpty?"
"The egg?"
"Not exactly..." Kuroko stood from the throne, turning his back on the king. If their roles had been reversed, it would be off with his head. "You see, no one ever said that Humpty Dumpty was an egg," he stopped in front of the huge window that looked down on the kingdom.
"What are you saying?"
Kuroko stared at the wall that protected them from intruders. "I always liked the story of Humpty Dumpty," he smirked as the guards took the fallen king away. He waited patiently as he heard him kick and scream. He stood in front of the window, expressionless. "How about we test the theory?
He waited patiently until he heard the king's pleads. "Will the king's horses and the king's men even attempt to put together Humpty Dumpty's cracked head?" He smirked. "I bet...No."
He turned around just as the king's body fell from the roof and connected to the cement with a soft splat.
"It's too sad to say, but Humpty Dumpty can never be put back together again."
"Murasakibara."
The purple haired giant who had been silent as the old king was taken, turned away from the entrance to the throne room and walked so he was in front of the short blue haired male. "Yes, Kuroko-sama?"
"It's time."
The titan nodded and passed by the red head. As he passed, the two glared daggers at each other. "Kuroko will be mine and mine alone. Even if it means killing everyone that gets in my way."

With news that the King has died, the Kingdom was suddenly in an uproar. Just the previous night, they believed that they had escaped a war, but were wrong. Someone from the Purple Kingdom assassinated their beloved king. They were ignorant of the truth however. In reality, it was the Purple King that was murdered first, just days before, by the hands of his own son
Everyone that heard Kuroko's angelic voice would immediately fall under his spell. No one was safe from him, but there was no need for them to fear. Their deaths would be peaceful, as if it never happened. Those that didn't fall under his command immediately would be executed on the spot.
It was finally time for Kuroko to give his inauguration speech.
Slowly, the townspeople gathered on the castle grounds. They all murmured to themselves as Kuroko appeared onto the balcony.
He breathed in deeply and then opened his eyes.
Everyone immediately turned bright red. They were mesmerized by the sight of his eyes. The ones that are easy to manipulate were already under his control.
"Attention commoners!" He shouted, a voice he barely ever used, he watched quietly as their eyes lost their color and his eyes glowed brighter. "Jump for me."
Hundreds of people jumped at once, making it seem as though there was an earthquake.
Some stood still, showing that they had strong minds.
Kuroko watched these people closely. "Hand."
With Kuroko's eyes meeting theirs, the order was stronger. Nearly everyone raised their hand as if to shake.
The blue haired male smirked; however, some of them were still unresponsive.
"Akashi, Murasakibara."
"Yes, Kuroko-sama?" Murasakibara stood on his left and Akashi on his right.
"Cover your ears. Things will be over soon."
"Yes, Kuroko-sama." The two did as they were told.
Once again, Kuroko took a deep breath and concentrated on the townspeople down below. "I am the Ace of Hearts," he bellowed to the hordes of people watching him with absolute loyalty.
"Run around and around," they all sang and walked in a circle.
"I am your one true Leader," his voice rang through their ears and they all saluted in unison, as if controlled by a puppet master.
"Run around and around."
"Now, bow down before me," they all did as he commanded, except for a few people. They were the ones that he would have difficulty controlling. He looked each of them in the eye, his voice resonating in the air.
"Run around and around!" They shouted in their minds, their eyes closed as they kneeled.
"Or else you shall die here," he warned one final time as he slowly snapped his fingers, the sound hollow to his own ears.
Everyone suddenly stood and pointed at the people who would not bow before their King. "Bam."
They all watched with lifeless eyes as heads fell off the bodies and rolled around the ground. "Around and around," Their lips twitched and their mouths widened, "Your brains are on the ground," they cackled in unison.
Kuroko smirked with his eyes glued to the rolling heads. "Run around and around or else your head will crash to the ground," he snickered as his eyes lit up. He licked his lips and sat down in his gold and blue throne. He looked up at the once blue sky that was now died in purples and reds as smoke rose from the fire they began to build to burn corpses. "Didn't your mother ever tell you?" He smirked.
"Never trust a man who whispers nothing but sweet words."

Next Chapter: "Didn't Your Mother Ever Tell you?"
What are Kuroko's true intentions and why was the Black Kingdom destroyed? Does he just want to become King or is there a deeper meaning to his words? And just how is he able to control people through will alone? Also, what about the other three kingdoms that haven't been mentioned yet? What sort of role will they play in this story? Who will stop Kuroko? Or will everyone fall under his spell? Review to find out or else there might not even be a sequel. Everything rests on your shoulders, readers. Everything depends on you.

A/N: Confused still? I bet you are since truthfully I kind of am as well. Things will clear up in the next chapter, I hope. I'm expecting this to be a two shot (two pairings with one story line) and the next one will feature the entire Generation of Miracles. Don't worry though, none of the main characters die, but at what price? Review so I continue since this can be a standalone. I don't want to continue it if no one likes it. Isn't Kuroko sexy like this? It truly will be a Kuroko harem if you review. Ahhh and if more than five people review for H scene, then I shall write it on Tumblr or something.
