Okay, so I posted this because it was shorter than my other two and a hell of a lot better. So enjoy people:)

Okay, let's see what's been going on in my life recently. I'm giving you a quick quiz to see what you think you know. So, here is one simple question. Think of the answer in your head. The question is:

What do you think is going on?

A) I'm having a great time with Edo

B) We are happily married

C) Edo is actually crazy

D) Edo has raped me countless times

E) Both C and D

If you answered 'E' in your head, give yourself a pat on the back!

Now it's been exactly three months since Edo took me away; two months since I was married to the bitch. And finally a month since I admitted to myself that I might actually have feelings for Judai. Ugh...I hate admitting stuff.

It was great the first month in this country, don't get me wrong in any way. Edo was really nice to me. When we got married, I refused to have sex with him that same night. I didn't get the memo to not refuse him. Well, if you could guess, he raped me out of anger and spite. Gasp! And lookie here, he's raping me right now. Sorry to pull you into this incident.

I was brought out of my thoughts by Edo planting sloppy kisses down my neck. A shiver ran down my spine. I felt a finger slip into me without anything to ease the pain. I inhaled a sharp breath as pain shot through my body. Another finger was entered to prepare me. I squirmed, trying to get comfortable with this sick feeling.

Edo removed his fingers and thrusted straight into me. I bit the inside of my cheek to keep myself from screaming. "Damn your fuckin' tight," he groaned. I scrunched up my nose. Edo pulled out and thrusted back in, hard. I continued to bit my cheek. He started moving in me with ease, which meant I was bleeding. I have to be extra careful when cleaning myself later tonight.

Edo started grunting. The slapping of skin was getting louder and louder with each powerful thrust. Sweat was pouring down our faces and off our bodies. His fingernails were digging into my hips painfully. That was gonna leave a mark. I wasn't too enthuased about that in the least.

Edo started stroking me as the heat between us started to increase quickly. I shut my eyes, biting my lip harshly now. I came, then he came. Just like that. Short and sweet. He slipped out of me, kissed me lightly, then left my room.

I caught my breath. Now, I know your probably wondering why I just haven't teleported myself out of here. I tried numerous times but there's some barrier thing preventing me from doing so. Edo, being very smart, took my most precious thing from me. My lance. So, I was basically a sitting duck around here.

I staggered into the bathroom and called for Vincent. He came in after a few minutes. Vincent was a nice man. He was about five inches taller than me with copper skin, silver eyes, and midnight-colored hair that brushed his shoulders. He was muscalar like the army general he was, but he didn't have the face to match it. It was always calm and never showed any emotion.

I met Vincent by accident. I walked in on him training and almost got myself killed because some other dude came at me with a sword. Luckilly, Vincent blocked it for me and that's how we met. He takes me on walks with him when he needs to think.

"So, he raped you?" Vincent asked me bluntly. I liked his voice, too. Don't ask me why. It was like smooth and velvety. I nodded meekly at him. Vincent sighed and started making a bath for me. I climbed into the water, hissing as I did so. I stared over at him breifly before he asked, "What?"

I flushed and sank down in the water. "Nothing."

Vincent sighed and grabbed my arm. "Hey, don't worry. Edo just acts like this with people only because they don't listen. I've been with him since he was a little annoying brat."

"Brat," I repeated, laughing a little.

A knock at the door made us freeze. "Johan? Are you in here?" Edo was waiting for a reply. Shit.

Vincent glanced at me. "Hurry and go in my room," I whispered. He nodded and left me. I gained some composure quickly. "Come in," I said loud enough for him to hear me. Edo opened the door and looked at me. "What the hell do you want now?"

Edo walked over to me and sat on the edge of the tub. "I'm sorry for what I did, even in the beginning. I should've listened to Marlyn." Was I imagining this? Was he being honest with me? Edo wiped a hair out of my face. "So, can we start over? I'll treat you right. And if I don't, you can leave."

I considered this. I put on a fake smile. "Of course. As long as you keep your word."

"I will. I promise."

xXx

It's been about two weeks since we had that discussion. Edo did keep his word. He hasn't even tried to rape me, nor did he ask for sex. He took our relationship very slowly and treated me with the upmost respect.

Boom!

Damn lightning. I scrambled out of the bed and hurried down the dark hall. I stopped at Edo's door and pushed it open. I poked my head inside to see if he was in bed. I frowned when he wasn't. I turned around to bump right into him.

"What are you doing out here?" he asked me in a concerned voice. Another loud boom made me jump. "Scared?" I nodded, still shaking. Edo sighed and pushed me gently into his room. We both settled in the bed. I was faceing him since the window curtains weren't closed. He wrapped his arms around me securely so I could relax. "We have a lot to do tomorrow, Johan."

I glanced up at him. "Like what?"

"Well, a friend of mine is coming to visit us tomorrow. After we have lunch with him, then we're going to spend a few days in Romia so I can discuss some business with Judai."

"Okay," I whispered. I shut my eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, I woke up to an empty bed. I pushed myself up on my forearms and looked around. There was a tray with pancakes, eggs, and apple juice sitting on the end table. I plucked the note off of it beside it. I smiled at it before I ate the breakfast.

When I finished, I ventured back to my room to change into something. Blue sweater, black skinny jeans, and black fuzzy boots. I headed out to go to the throne room.

Edo was sitting on his throne. In my opinion, he looked irritated about something. "Edo?" I said so he could acknowledge my presence. Edo glanced up at me and smiled. "What are you doing in here?"

"Thinking."

"Of?"

"My country being at war again. Uncle Zahel is being a bitch lately about it saying I couldn't put it off and what not. I don't think it's his choice though." Edo got out of his chair and strolled over to me, placing a kiss on my lips. "By the way, my friend cancelled on me. Said he had something important to do for his family."

"So are we leaving for Romia?" I asked.

"Yes, we are." Edo looked me up and down. "Oh, you look good today."

"Thanks," I replied, smiling. He took my hand and lead me out to the front of his palace. Edo opened the carriage door for me, then shut the door behind him. "How long does it take to get there?"

Edo thought for a moment. "It takes about three hours. You can sleep if you want to. We have to stop to get Vincent from his home."

I went back to sleep without a second thought.

Judai's POV

"Shit fuck!" I yelled after a broke another vase. I was pacing around the main hall. Satori was beside me trying, more like attempting, to calm me down. He touched my shoulder only to have his hand burn. "Satori, let's not start. Alright? I'm already pissed so try not to make it worse."

Satori backed off immediately after I said that. I watched him run a hand through his blond hair. "Look, Judai, I think you should try to fix your problem when they get here."

"It's not that fucking simple," I growled. Satori shook his head. "Seriously. It's not. And knowing Edo, he probably brainwashed him or something like that."

Satori folded his arms across his chest. "I understand that, Your Highness. I'm simply saying you should try to fix it. You know, solve this problem you have between you."

I slid my hands over my face in frustration. "I don't think you get it. I'm suppose to be marrying a woman soon. How the fuck am I suppose to tell him that? Do you think he'll understand that I have to do this so I can take the throne?"

Satori shrugged his shoulders. "So, you got me there. I don't know how your gonna tell him that." Satori walked over to a chair and planted himself in it. "Well, your on your own."

I shot him an angry look. "If you want out of this Guardian position, then your gonna help me." I smirked when he flipped me off. "I'm being serious Satori. If you want Kiba to love you again, then your gonna help me."

Satori huffed. "Fine," he grumbled before standing up. "Did you just want me to tell him when he gets here?"

"No."

Satori rolled his eyes and walked away. I sighed before I decided to break another vase out of anger. "Judai? Are you alright, honey?" my future wife called out to me. I spun to see her walking over to me, her brown eyes sparkling. She touched my shoulder lovingly. "Our guests have arrived."

"Alright, Asuka. Let's go greet them." I took her hand and walked outside. I could see the object of my dreams getting out first. Damn he looked good. Then the person I hated the most followed him out. Johan smiled at him. My heart dropped. Johan held his hand tightly and walked over to us.

"Your Majesty," Johan greeted me. There was no pain in his voice nor was there hatred. He seemed almost too happy. "Lady Asuka." He took her hand and kissed it. "Such an honor to be back here in Romia. I look forward to our stay."

"Johan-" I started to say but was rudely interupted by Edo.

"Judai, is everyone here for this meeting?"

I snorted. "Yes. Ryo had arrived here yesterday. Fubuki got here about two hours before you got here." I glanced at Johan, who was staring at me intently. "Hi."

"Hi," he returned. "Edo, I'm a little hungry. Can me and Vincent go eat somewhere? I'll bring you something back."

I cringed when Edo kissed his cheek. Nasty. "Alright. I'll see you two later." Johan beamed happily at him and went back to the carriage. Edo turned back to face me and Asuka. "So, Judai, you miss him?"

"No," I lied. "I found someone who will return my love and affection." I wrapped an arm around Asuka's waist. "And she's right here."

Asuka giggled. "Oh stop it." She kissed my cheek. "Hey, I have to go. I'll see you later for dinner."

She left the two of us alone. "So, what the hell kind of bull shit do you have him under? There's no way in hell Johan is happy living with some dirtbag like you."

"Ah, but he is happy with me. I don't think he even likes you. I think he's trying to ignore you."

"Bull shit."

Edo smirked. "Whatever. You're just mad that I have something that you don't." Edo moved past me. "Let's get this meeting underway. I'm sure Johan would like to get home."

I snorted again and followed him back inside. One thought did cross my mind though.

I have to win his heart back.

Johan's POV

Vincent and I found a nice place to eat at. Their bread rolls were to die for. We were currently coming back to the castle where Edo was. Vincent was sleeping on the seat in front of me. I was staring outside the window, holding a box of food for Edo.

"Prince Johan, we're here," the driver informed me. I sighed and opened the door. I saw dumbass and his wife-to-be-bitch standing outside waiting for me. I offered them a smile before I headed over to them.

"Johan, it would be great if you joined us for dinner tonight," Asuka said. "Edo said he didn't care and that it would be up to you."

I thought on it. "Sure, I wouldn't mind." I averted my gaze to Judai. "You look like you have a lot to say. Asuka, you wouldn't mind taking this to Edo would you? I think Judai and I have a lot to discuss." Asuka removed the box from my hands and went back inside. I folded my arms over my chest, ready for his questions. "What do you need?"

"Johan, I'm so very sorry that I did that to you-"

"You already said that four months ago," I reminded him.

"-but I really tried to save you. Alright? But after about a month of planning, I never got the chance to go with it. The Council and the Guardian said it was time to move on. I cried for about two weeks because I promised something that I couldn't keep. Johan, I love you and now you're happy with Edo because I couldn't save you from him."

He said all those words without me really processing them in my head. He stared at me crookedly. "Aren't you gonna say anything? I basically poured my heart out to you and your not saying anything. I need you to say something, Johan. Anything. Please."

He loves me.

Those three words rang through my head like a bell. He loves me. Judai loves me. Not Asuka. Me instead. I blinked hard a couple times to get out of my stupor before I stated, "I don't know what to say." I really didn't though. I wanted to say 'I love you, too', but my heart wouldn't let me. "Judai, I'm flattered. I truly am. But, I think I should just stay with Edo since you have Asuka. I mean, I'm happy with him and I'm sure you'll be happy with her."

"Johan-"

"There's an age difference between us as well. Edo's only three years older than me while your six. That's a big difference between us. How do I make up six years? There will always be a big hole between us. So let's put the brakes on this relationship and move along."

I tried to move past him but he grabbed my arm. "Fine but only if you let me kiss you once more."

I nodded in agreement. I felt his lips against my softer ones. Judai pulled away before I could kiss back. He smiled sadly at me. "I wish you the best, Johan. I relally do."

I ouldn't help but hug him. He hugged me back tightly. "I wish you luck in your marriage." I let go of him and smiled. "I guess this will be the last time we see each other."

"Probably."

"Maybe we should go back inside. They're probably wondering what we're still doing out here."

"Yeah."

And when we walked back into his castle I knew in my heart that I wouldn't be seeing Judai for the longest time.
