The Black King
By: Sissy
Chapter 1: The traveling king
"What do you mean the Black King isn't awake?" The guard with the scar looked angrily at the nervous-looking maid.
"Yes, well, when I went in, he was still sleeping but I recently heard some noise." The maid told him.
"Black King! Wake up!" The guard knocked on the door.
But when he heard no answer, he resorted to busting the door open. Only to find his king holding a girl he quickly recognized to be his sister.
"Oh, God! Black King! What did I tell you!" The guard yelled at him as the girl separated from her king.
"Hello Leon. Sorry, but I like Olette's blood." The Black King smiled at his guard lazily.
"That's my sister!" Leon yelled at him as the earlier maid came in with breakfast, "You knew, didn't you Selphie?" Leon glared at the girl.
"I'm sorry?" Selphie looked a bit scared, then pouted, "Besides, it's like you expect me to go against Sora, do you?"
"It's Black King, Selphie. You're supposed to call me that around Leon." The Black King, Sora, told the girl, snickering to himself.
"Oh, that's right. It's 'cuz Leon's so uptight about titles that you told me to do that." Selphie smiled energetically.
"Anyways!" Leon made them all look back at him, "Olette, go attend to the library like you're supposed to. And you Black King," He started, glancing over to Sora, who had gotten up to change clothes, "you've better not have forgotten that the White Princess is coming today."
"It was today?" Sora asked surprised.
"Black King." Leon glared at the boy as Selphie brought out his clothes, while Olette prepared to leave the room.
"O-of course I remember Leon! I'm not so distracted that I forget things!" Sora told him as he took the clothes Selphie got for him.
"Sometimes I wonder." Leon sighed, "At the very least, you were the one who proposed to her, so please don't fool around. Especially with my sister." Leon told him aggressively then turned to Olette, "Didn't I tell you to go to your post?"
"Sorry big brother. I'm going now." Olette smiled, going over to Sora, who gave her a light kiss on the mouth, before she left the room.
"Black King, if it weren't for the fact that I actually admire you, I'd kill you." Leon glared at the boy.
"Thanks. It's nice to know that only my kingdom can kill me, but you all love me very much to not do that." Sora smiled as he got undressed, Selphie picking up his clothes.
"Yes, yes." Leon sighed as Sora dressed himself in a black one piece outfit that reached a little under the knees, was sleeveless and had a hood.
"Here, Your Highness." Selphie handed him the red belt, which he put loosely around his waist; the necklace with the black crown insignia, which he put on his neck; and the black crown, which he wore on his head.
"Alright! Let's go meet the princess!" Sora said enthusiastically.
"Please eat your breakfast first Your Highness." The Black King's servant, a Shadow, told him sadly as he made his appearance.
"Oh, hi Shadow. When did you wake up?" Sora asked his servant very energetically.
"Since you have Black King, you know that. So please eat your breakfast before you go meet your fiancée." Shadow told him, and the Black King went to eat his breakfast, even if he wasn't hungry.
"Serves you right for feeding on my sister so early." Leon told his king.
"But I don't like to eat normal food in the mornings and Selphie refuses to give me her blood." Sora pouted.
"For good reason, you know!" Selphie protested.
"Selphie, just go attend the castle with the other maids." Leon ordered her.
"Alright, alright." Selphie's ears fell, and she left the room, taking Sora's clothes to wash.
"Now, look here Black King. You need to be more responsible for your meals, so stop trying to warp your stomach to what you want. He didn't make you a vampire so you could have weird eating habits." Leon told him and Shadow nodded.
"Well sorry! He showed me how to eat and everything, just not when to. And it's half-vampire." Sora pouted.
"I still don't understand why he passed you his title." Leon sighed.
"He never did say." Sora looked up, deep in thought.
"Anyways, let's head down. The White Princess should be arriving anytime soon." Leon told him as a blond came in.
"Hey Sora, your-" He began but stopped when he saw Leon, "Um, Sorry Leon." He said as Leon glared at him.
"Did you tell this to every single person in the kingdom?" Leon yelled at the Black King.
"Yup!" Sora said happily, "What were you saying Cloud?"
"Ah, yes. Your fiancée has arrived and is waiting for you downstairs." Cloud told them.
"Nobody else is here?" Sora asked him curiously.
"Ah. Yes. He came back as well." Cloud nodded to him and Sora cheered.
"Yay! Ro is back!" Sora cheered and ran out of the room, followed by Shadow while Leon and Cloud followed them slowly.
"Why is the Black King so excited to see Roxas?" Leon wondered out loud.
"Because they're like brothers." Cloud laughed.
"Brothers? But he's your brother." Leon tried to understand.
"I know. But remember that Sora really likes Roxas. After all, Roxas was the one who found Sora." Cloud explained to him.
"Ah, that's right." Leon sighed and they continued walking.
Meanwhile, Sora and Shadow arrived to the office room of the king, where he usually greeted all of his guest and unannounced arrivals. In the middle of the room was a blond boy, of Sora's age, reading a book as the blond girl in the sofa looked up at Sora smiling, but Sora didn't notice her at first.
"Roxas!" Sora yelled happily as he threw himself at the blond boy, who almost fell to the floor, "I've missed you!"
"Black King, you realize I'm not the only person in the room, right?" Roxas asked him, with a serious look in his face.
"Wha-?" Sora looked worriedly at the girl on the sofa, "AH! Na- White Princess! I- We apologize!" Sora bowed to the White Princess, giving the girl a soft peck on her hand.
"It's alright Black King. You have your reasons." The White Princess smiled forgivingly at him.
"Naminé, there's no reason to be so forgiving to this idiot who ignored his fiancée to say hello to someone else and hasn't given you a proper welcome." Roxas told the girl, hitting many points on Sora's back.
"We apologize once again." Sora said then smiled at her, "And We welcome you to the Kingdom of the Black King."
"And We are pleased to be welcomed here." Naminé gave a small bow from her seat, "But there's no need to be so formal between friends." She assured him.
"Or between fiancées. But that's beside the point, and you know that Naminé." Roxas glared at the girl.
"You are correct, former -" Naminé started but was cut off by Roxas.
"Emphasis on the 'former'. And I'd appreciate it if Her Highness would refrain from repeating those words again." Roxas gave the girl the coldest glare he could muster.
"Of course. I personally apologize for my mistake." Naminé smiled at him.
"Anyways!" Sora tried to get the evil air manifesting around them to leave, "Shall we head to business since you have arrived Naminé?" Sora asked her.
"What business?" Roxas asked, curiously eyeing them and saw Sora give him a planning smile.
And a few moments later, as Leon and Cloud were nearing the office, they heard Roxas voice screaming: "WHAT!" before they headed there in a hurry to find out what had happened.
"Your Highnesses, Roxas, what happened?" Cloud asked in a hurry after he opened the door to see Roxas's face red from yelling and both Sora and Naminé on the sofa holding their hands over their ears.
"Did either of you know about this!" Roxas asked Cloud, pointing at him.
"Know what?" Leon asked him, obviously not knowing anything.
"Yes." Cloud's simple answer made Roxas punch him.
"You bastard! And you didn't tell me?" Roxas yelled at his brother.
"The Black King ordered it to be a secret, though the whole kingdom knows it, except for Leon who would never go along with it and you because the Black King wanted to tell you himself." Cloud said, pointing to Leon.
"Go along with what?" Leon glared at him, then at Sora and Naminé.
"With me taking a trip around the kingdoms while Naminé stays here to learn how to run this place." Sora told him.
"What!" Leon asked in disbelief.
"And We agree." Naminé told Sora, "I'm sure there are many places you wish to go to Your Highness. We'll be happy to look after your kingdom while you're in absence."
"Thank you Naminé!" Sora hugged his fiancée and gave her a light peck on the lips.
"You're welcome Sora. Though I'm doing this because you need to go out." Naminé told him smiling and Sora looked at her confused.
"Naminé." Roxas voice was warning her not to go further into the matter.
"Of course." Naminé nodded to him.
"Oh, by the by, what ever happened to your 13th Order?" Sora asked her, just remembering.
"Oh, it's now the 12th Order until I find someone worthy to replace our Silver Knight that left." Naminé told him.
"The Silver Knight was the one that I saw that those years ago, right?" Sora asked happily.
"Yes." Naminé smiled at Sora.
"He was so cool! He reminded me that day of Roxas." Sora said, admiring Roxas, "The shadow he emitted looked like the starry sky at night."
"Do you like that guy?" Roxas asked him with a smile and Sora laughed.
"I only saw him once! And from a distance! That's not enough to make me fall in love!" Sora laughed at Roxas.
"But sometimes, that's all anyone needs." Roxas told him, glad of something.
"Are you trying to insinuate something?" Sora glared at Roxas.
"Nothing at all. But shouldn't you be packing?" Roxas smirked at Sora.
"I already did." Sora glared at him, then turned to Naminé, "What me to help you out with getting to know what you'll have to do?"
"Sure." Naminé smiled and stood up along with Sora.
And hand in hand, they left the room, followed slowly by Shadow, as the others watched them leave.
"They really hit it off, didn't they?" Cloud smiled as Roxas rolled his eyes.
"Please, me and Naminé-" Roxas began but cut himself off.
"You and Naminé what?" Cloud eyed him.
"Nothing. I'm leaving soon anyway, there's something I need to heck up north." Roxas told them, averting the subject.
"Up north? Isn't that where the Yellow Prince is?" Leon asked him and Roxas nodded.
"He's up to something. He's been trying to find something in this country and I don't like how he's been sending his lackeys to find it. Besides, he's a werewolf. That means it's something his instinct calls for." Roxas said angrily.
"I-I see…" Leon said nervously, as he glanced over to Cloud.
"Anyways, I know you guys are hiding something, but if I find out that I investigated this for nothing, then you guys will pay the consequences." Roxas warned them before he left the room.
"You think he suspects what's going on?" Cloud asked Leon.
"I don't know. He's your brother." Leon told him.
"True." Cloud said thoughtfully then glanced over to Leon, "Weren't we in the middle of something on the way here?"
And Leon smiled, "True."
… …
"Good bye Black King. Don't get killed now." Leon jokingly said to Sora at the gates of the town below Sora's castle.
"Don't worry Leon." Sora laughed, "Besides, no one can beat me enough to kill me. Except him." Sora said, smiling.
"True. But take care Black King." Leon told him, ruffling the kid's hair.
"Take care Sora. Sorry that everyone couldn't see you off in a more formal way, but you were the one who decided to do this." Naminé told him.
"Don't worry, I understand. Give my regards to everyone." Sora bowed, giving Naminé a soft peck on the lips before leaving.
And so the Black King began a travel. To an adventure that he needed to find, but who said in the first place that he needed an adventure?
