Enjoy!
Julie Hizuri, couldn't help but stare at the man who had her husband's face, but his hair was black and there was something, about his eyes that just didn't sit well with her.
At first, she didn't really take notice of the man, despite the sword by his side, thinking he was just another actor and when she was about to turn away.
That's when she heard his voice.
The same voice as her husband.
She couldn't believe it and had to check, that her ears were not deceiving her and approached the man, convinced that her ears had heard wrong and now, all she could do was stare.
"Nice, to meet you, fair maiden. My name is Lord Viscount" The man said, a dozen roses appeared behind him and Julie could swear she smelled them too, before her hand was taken and the man looked into her eyes and he said.
"May I ask your name?"
She was so stunned, that all she could do was stare and wonder.
Was this man hitting on her?
Ch 7: The Kuu Hizuri, from another world.
If looks could kill, Kuu Hizuri, husband of Juliena Hizuri, would have been a splat on the floor by the death glare sent his way.
He had just arrived back at the company, and was waiting for his wife to show up, when she approached him, behind her was a man who's appearance almost gave him a heart attack and judging by the man's face at the time, when their eyes met, he wasn't the only one surprised.
That surprise quickly turned into narrowing eyes when his wife, introduced them both, to the man who was apparently another version of himself, from the world 'Prisoner'.
The man eyes, when he heard the word 'husband', quickly went to both of their wedding rings, his eyes glowed blue by the mere sight of them, before looking like he was ready to leave, realizing he had wasted his time here.
It was only because of his wife, that the man hadn't left.
So now he was sitting uncomfortably, opposite his other self while Julie went to get them some drinks from the cafeteria, the silence couldn't have been more deadly.
Those who passed by, couldn't help but stop and stare at the other Kuu Hizuri.
Kuu wanted to start up a conversation, he really did but there was a time to be stupid and a time to listen to your survival instincts.
This was such a time.
"There you go." Julie said, she had been surprised when her husband double, ordered a drink that she didn't know existed, well not here anyway, and instead got him, a black coffee instead.
The man mouth tightened when he saw the drink placed in front of him, anybody who know the man would have been amazed, that he hadn't immediately explode as soon as he saw it.
"Sorry, I don't think what your order exist's here, so I hope you don't mind black coffee" She said, his mouth tightened some more and he answered back with the most strained smile she had ever seen.
"n-n-n-NO!" He said, at the end, he hit his chest, to manage the end result, he was clearly struggling to do so and said. "I don't mind at all" in a very strange and strained tone.
Both Julie and Kuu looked at Lord Viscount like he was from a different planet which he practically was.
But before things could get weird and Lord Viscount could no longer hold his dissatisfaction of being here.
Koun Hizuri, passed by, holding hands with his wife, who pushed a pushed chair that contained a tiny baby boy inside, that was fast asleep.
When he paused seeing his parents next to...
His dad?
Wait.
What!?
He stopped completely and turned, towards the scene, many had noticed and stared at.
Julie noticed him and said. "Kuon, don't just stand there and stare, come and say hello" drawing her husband and the other's man's attention.
Kyoko was outright staring at the two version of her adopted father and was shocked to find the physics were actually the same.
"Kuon, Kyoko. This is Lord Viscount, your father's double from the other's side" She then introduced, them.
"Nice to meet you, sir" Kyoko said, shocked by how posh her, adopted father double name, sounded but when Kuon want to greet his father's double.
"Nice to meet you, L-" He began, only to be interrupted as the man said.
"Aren't you the queen's, sex slave?" The man said, out loud.
The reaction, he got was hilarious especially from Kuon who lost his composer, and briefly looked like Kyoko had just shot him in the arm.
"W-What?" He couldn't help but muster out.
"You're the queens sex slave, right?" Lord Viscount said, he had seen that demon around, a few times. The man was always seen frequently entering the queen's royal bedroom and wouldn't leave until morning. "But why do you feel human? Unless..."
His mind going into overdrive, quickly connecting the dots, he would be a fool if war hadn't taught him to pay extra attention to his surroundings.
"Your that demons counterpart aren't, you?" He said, to think in this word, that man was actually human, and so much more expressive, it was like some sick joke.
While he was thinking this, the rest couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with this man.
He was treating Kuon like a complete stranger, not like a son unless...
"Are you married?" It was Kuu who asked this question.
The man actually snorted, getting more than a few surprised looks and said. "Married...me? Married to who? I'm more surprised by the fact, you, as my counterpart, are actually tied down by one woman."
Silence.
This man wasn't married, than how did Kuon exist in the other world if this Kuu wasn't his father... unless...
But before anybody could open up Pandora's box regarding the Hizuri family in the other world, they heard.
"THERE HE IS!"A gust of wind blow towards him, Lord Viscount expertly dodge while the rest got caught in it.
Once the wind died down, they all turned to find it was the same girl with blonde curly hair who left this man here, for Kuon and Kyoko it was like looking into the mirror, as they recalled Kyoko, did once look like this for a acting part.
But the man who was behind her, had Kuon, Kuu and Julie having collective heart attacks at the sight of a man they hadn't seen in over a decade.
It was Rick.
Well, not actually Rick but it was Rick, his hair was completely white and his eyes, instead of irises had slits just like a demon, the air around him, reaked of mischief.
"Thank god, he hasn't killed anyone yet" Muuna said, it had taken her time to realize leaving somebody like Lord Viscount alone was the worst thing, she could possibly do.
"Of course, I haven't killed anyone yet, girl. I'm not a beast" The man replied, with an air of superiority.
Kuu was looking at his other self with wide eyes, while other's weren't so far away.
"Well, if you weren't a beast than why do you carry a sword around with you?" Muuna said, huffing.
"Because I don't want to die like an idiot, unlike you." The man said, taking a sip of his coffee, this proved to be a mistake, as the bitterness touched his tongue, he spat it out, like he just realized somebody had peed in his cup while he wasn't looking and said. "What kind of tea is this? Disgusting. And I bet the food here isn't any better." Before dropping the cup, he didn't care that it shattered onto the table as he rose.
"You, maid. Clean that up" He said, looking directly at Muuna, who clearly looked offended.
"I may be a maid, but I sure as hell won't clean up your messes! Do it yourself." Muuna said, glaring a very Kyoko glare.
Most eyes in the room, turned to a certain women who's mouth was opening and closing, with no sound coming out of it.
"What?" Lord Viscount said, looking taken back. "You expect a Lord to clean up, after himself? Has the Light of Giga touched you head? Clean up, is only for the servants"
"I didn't think. I would see, something so humorous, if I want with her." The guy who looked too much like Rick to be comfortable said, in the same voice, selected individuals remembered all those years ago.
Kuon outright stared at him, as if Rick had crawled out of his grave before his very eyes.
He almost forgot to remind himself that this man wasn't Rick, no matter how much he wished it was.
"Just, shut up and go back to the hotel" Munna demanded, hands on her hips like she was female warrior.
"Who are you to demand something of me, commoner?" The man said, "And how dare you call that place a hotel? My lion sleeps in a better place than that trash."
"Well, good for it" Muuna said, "At least it being an animal, it can't complain like you"
"What was that, girl?" The man said.
"Oh, they just keep going and going on. This is brilliant" Rick counterpart said, taking a seat next him, wishing he had some popcorn, he looked like he was enjoying the chaos in front of him.
While the rest of the room were looking at him, like he was someone crazy.
At least, Kuu, Julie and Kuon, know this man was nothing like Rick despite the appearance and the voice.
Eventually, the dining hall was getting crowded by people who heard about the commotion caused by other worldly people, there was no way this wouldn't reach the president ears eventually.
The man himself appeared ten minutes later, in a sparkly suit.
"Dear, queen, what the hell is that?" Lord Viscount said, seeing sparkly Lory for the first time in his life, coming towards them, even Muuna was looking on with wide eyes.
Alternate reality Rick, burst out laughing, at the appearance of a shiny man.
Lory, had almost stopped and stared at Rick alternate self, who was very much alive and kicking but instead he stared at alternate Kuu instead and couldn't help but realize, the girl, next to him looked familiar somehow.
"What is going here?" He said, why were there several cups smashed on the floor? He extruded the area of a boss, which alternate Rick quickly noticed.
A mischievous grin spread across his face before it was wiped off and he wanted into action.
"THANK GOODNESS, BOSS-MAN IS HERE!" He yelled with tears in his eyes, starling all of them as he blow into a random tissue that appeared out of nowhere. "It's terrible, just terrible!"
Okay...They all thought.
"Now, you can stop the madness" He said, forcing more tears and blowing harder. "Lord Viscount, trashed this place for no apparent reason."
"Wait, what?" The man, sentence, pretty much summed it up for the rest of the room.
Didn't this man do it himself, he only broke one thing!
"We tried to stop him, we really did" He said, blowing his nose some more and looking pitiful. "But in the face of that sword, we were helpless to stop him. Who would have thought, one single man would have such strength? He's a lunatic, I tell you, a lunatic!"
"Why you" The man said, going for his sword, which proved to be a mistake as the man let out a scream.
"He's going for his sword!" He said, "Hide your children and precious kitchen appliances! Nobody can stop him once's he gets going!"
He than looked to see everybody faces, they were all looking at him without any emotion, making him say.
"Your not buying any of this, are you?"
"Not one bit" Lory said.
"Drat" He said.
And scene!
Next chapter, Lory invites the other worldly people into his office, they all confused with why they could sense magic in Lory office and find Kuon other's selfs coat. Review/fav and follow!
