"Sir, do you know the currant whereabouts of the Queen?"
"Not as of yet soldier, I am extremely frightened for the safety of her."
"Do you think she has eloped with that dreaded blond lad?"
"Most likely, the last person to see her was Gakupo I presume. He most likely sent her on her way."
"Darn that ignorant fool! Such men should not belong in our kingdom. He is always the reason for our predicaments. I have no idea why the Queen brought in such a beast."
"She always does that. Be glad it wasn't Amatsuki; then we would have a problem."
"True, that boy is the motivation of the Queen's mischievous behaviour. But lest break this manner of idle chatter, we have our Queen to find!"
"Yes, sir, I shall tell the leader of this quandary and have the army put a stop to those fiendish boys!"
Both men immediately vanished to perform the discussed plan. However, little did they know; right around the corner, sat two grinning teens.
"Ito, I can't believe we actually escaped! All you did was snap your finger and instantly we were outside the gardens! How did you do that?"
"Oh Mayu, magicians never show their secrets."
"Well you are a demon, not a magician. Anyway, where are we going?"
"Definitely not by my place! I guess we can go to the walled off area, though I doubt they'll let us in." Ito pouted.
Koysundra; commonly known as the walled-off area, is a large isolated village, that is surrounded by towering walls made from a special material derived from magic. The people are cut off and are usually introverted. Only the Royal Family and others sent by them are allowed to access this territory, everyone else are either slain by the monsters that plague the area or threatened and later executed by the government of the area. Some, very rarely, are taken into the place but aren't able to leave. Most people who know of this land avoid trespassing the forsaken grounds.
"Are you sure we should be going into Koysundra? Why don't we visit Wonderland? It's much safer than here." Mayu suggested. Her eyebrows were slanting downwards and miniscule drops of sweat were sparkling in the sunlight.
"Do you need a towel?" Ito inquired. He unstrapped a backpack from on his back and peered inside. She shook her head in response. He shrugged and began to fish inside the bag. Pulling out a bottle of water, he screwed open the cap before having the bottle snatched out of his hands.
"You didn't ask me if I wanted a bottle of water. That's not very nice now is it?"
The boy opened his mouth to speak but was cut off from more, smart backtalk coming from Mayu.
"What, you didn't say anything about water, you said 'Do you want a towel?' and I said no. Where in that conversation do you hear 'Do you want water?'? Answer that."
He snatched the flask of clear liquid and took plentiful gulps.
"Listen, this is my water, if you wanted water; you should have said so." Ito replied matter-of-factly.
She rolled her eyes and continued walking, a bit faster pace than before. Ito grabbed her hand and dragged her right back, next to him.
"You're annoying you know."
"Yeah, I know."
"Hurry up guys! It's really hot!" A short teen whined, his chocolate brown hair; which glimmered in the Sunlight, made him feel as if it were about to catch on fire.
"I'm burning up out here, waiting on those fool; they're probably taking their sweet time to get here too!"
"Calm down Amatsuki, this is the Queen y'know; she always takes a long while to get to places. I just hope she and Ito don't get struck by Cupid out there, or else I will shoot him."
Amatsuki sighed deeply and contemplated on how seriously overprotective his friend was. He decided not to overthink on the situation too much and decided to change to a new subject.
"Where're we going after this? I hope we aren't headed for that walled off area."
"I already told you, we're going to Wonderland."
"Good, I can change out of this drab outfit and into an adorable rabbit suit!" Amatsuki squealed and hopped around the greenery.
"I swear; you are such a girl sometimes."
"You know, sometimes I wonder where your sister is. Is it true the Rebels caught her?"
"Sadly, yes; but she'll be in good hands."
"There you are! I'm finally not alone with Mr. Magician and his junky tricks! Oh how I've missed you guys so much!" Mayu rushed and greeted the two young men with a surprise hug; nearly sending the two off their feet.
"H-hey Mayu, I can see you're in a happy mood. We're off to Wonderland to keep off the Kingdoms trail for now." Amatsuki nervously ran his hands through his hair.
"Mayu, I missed you dearly as well! You have no idea how long we've been waiting on you!"
She ran her hands through the boy's hair before pecking his cheek.
"Len, I'm sorry or making you guys wait. I promise I'll make it up to you."
"Can you two please quit with the romance please? It's really stupid and we have better things to do." Ito groaned loud enough for the lovebirds to hear his jealous cries. Mayu shook her head and giggled slightly before skipping towards the pouting young adult.
"I don't wish to hear your apology; we've already wasted enough time." He grouched, clasping an emerald-green leaf; then crushing the greenery with a cold fist.
"Aww, someone's jealous, don't worry; your sweetheart will join us soon." Len cooed sarcastically; placing a hand on the boys shoulder. Ito rolled his coffee eyes and shrugged Len off, leading the group off into a warm Wonderland.
"Haku, when are we going to get Piko back?" A young brunette squeaked approaching a weary albino.
"I'm not very sure, Yuki. We might have to meet him in Koysundra or Wonderland; depending on where Len plans to go at the time." She muttered quietly to the small child.
"I hope we get to go to Wonderland, I heard the Bunny is coming!"
"Haha, I think so as well Yuki, Koysundra is in a rather dangerous plight. We shouldn't get involved if we want to keep ourselves safe."
I have a lot of explaining to do, first, I got super sick and couldn't really move a lot, then school started and my sleeping schedule got jacked up; to the point where I couldn't open my eyes or else I would have gotten dizzy. So now, I am recovering and am trying to stick with this story.
NOTE: Ito and Amatsuki are not O.C's; they are Utaites. Ito sings Connecting by Halolsy, and Amatsuki sings Blessing, I think also by Halolsy. Check those two songs out if you want to see who they are; these songs are epic! So please look at them in your spare time! ^-^
Wish me luck for the next chapter, where we will return to Rin, Lily and Piko!
