Authors Note : Wow I steped away from this longer then I meant to.

" Holy god, I'm going to die." Danny panted as he tried to catch his breath. Phantom wasn't lying when he said he was coming for Danny bright and early to start training. The sky in the soon-to-be Kings world was still a dark colour and Danny still had sleep in his eyes when Fright came knocking on his door to make him get up so that he could start training with Phantom for the day. The maids in his room took out clothes for him along with some armor pieces. Dannys outfit, much like Phantoms was black, white, and decided to leave his hat back in his room, not wanting anything to happen to it during training, Danny was (yet again) pulled along by Fright like a rag doll until they got to a room that looked like a gym. Well, it SMELLED like a gym, with the scent of sweat in the were spiked hooks, punching bags and various other items that lookes like they were used for combat.

When they started out, Phantom had been nice enough to show Danny how to hold a sword and took it easy on him. But as time wore on the soon-to-be King put more power into his strikes and had to hold back the laugh he wanted to let out at the look Danny gave him everytime he knocked his sword from his hands and made him fall flat on his ass. To which he would get a glare from the human but it looked more cute then anything to Phantom.

But Danny wasn't bad at fighting, much like dancing he was a natural. That very fact alone made Phantom like him more. Phantom was also very aware of how Danny feeling in this situation and had repress a sigh. Yes, maybe he was being selfish, but if it meant that he could have full reign, be in tap with all of his power to the point where he can be rid of Plasmius and bring peace then so be it.

Many hours later Danny was on the verge of passing out for the intense workout he just had, sweat rolling down his face making his hair cling to his forehead, his hands on his knees trying to get his breathing back to normal. Looking over to Phantom, the ghost was standing there looking at Danny with an amused smirk on his face. He didn't even break a sweat and it's been HOURS. " How, are you not tired?"

Phantom snorted, " I've had many years of training with Fright and fighting out on the battle field, I don't tire easy Danny." He said eyeing Danny before shaking his head," Besides, I'm going to go out on a limb and say you have never fought anyone in your life, and the fact that you're not terrible when you fight helps put me at ease."

Danny stood up straight and cracked his back, with a groan (that kinda turned Phantom on) he looked at the demon with a blank look before saying " Um,...Thank you... and you're welcome...?" This was just too awkward.

Phantom sighed, " But you are no where near ready to face Plasmius without any aid in battle." Danny was going to protest but Phantom beat him to it, interrupting him this time." Wheather you like it or not."

Danny huffed, he didn't lime anything that was happening these days. Phantom then excused himself to go tske care of something and told Danny to go explore the castle, maybe take a shower. Not necessarily in that order. Shower first, adventure later, Danny went up and took a nice hot shower, got dressed putting on his signature hat before going to have a look around. There really wasn't that much to see, it was just a really big house with nothing to do. Unconsciousnessly he started to pick at the hemming of his hat as he got lost in thought. There was still so much that needed to happen and in so little time. Phantom and him haven't really talked ABOUT the marriage other then the fact that it's going to happen.

Now there is this Plasmius guy and god knows what can of worms that guy will open when he gets here. The way Phantom talked about him made him seem like the worst demon in the whole universe. Phantom had told him more about Plasmius during training when he wasn't barking orders. Not only was he jealous and wanted to be King, he was also a murderer. And not in the way you think.

Apparently he can suck out other demons life forces to make himself stronger. That alone scared Danny but he couldn't just walk away from this. If this guy was as bad as Phantom said, then he would be damned to an early hell if he let that vampire demon rule over the other demons as a tyrant. Danny then face palmed himself, how was he going to beat a guy that could crush him under foot with possibly just his pinky finger? " I must be nuts or suicidal. " He said to himself as he walked outside for some fresh air. Well as fresh as you can get in this world.

Still lost in his thoughts, Danny didn't see the figure just a few feet from him. It was too late, he had already ran right into the person. Snapping out of his little world, Danny looked up to be met with blood red eyes and teal skin. An evil smile broke out on the other mans face, showing white fangs that looked as shrape as freshly sharpened knives. He had a bad feeling...

" And just whom might you be, dear boy?"
