KV: grrr... this site hates me...


Mikuo walked out of the dead forest smiling, the only person he had to beat now was the Queen. He has complete confidence in himself but Mikuo always does. Even if he was going up against God himself he would but he is in a way, Meiko is "God", just female. He walked to the cliff where the forest ended and looked toward the Kingdom of Hearts.

It was there Miku was heading, it was there he would be, and it was there where she waited. He looked unto the path he had set out for her before hand and saw a speck of teal twin ponytails walking into the kingdom. He could only imagine the kind of scolding he's going to get from her once he got down there, but for some reason, he was looking forward to it. Not because he's maschiostic but because he missed her voice and the way her eyes would light up with happiness even though she would try her best to be angery.

Mikuo looked down at his pocket watch for the actual time for once. He saw it was 12:50, almost 13 a clock but in earth time, a week had past since they left. He closed the watch back up and headed back towards the palace.


Miku was on her whits end, she was sure that Mikuo was TRYING to get her to kill him. She sighed as she entered the empty streets of the Kingdom and she became cuious. There was no people, but there was smoke coming from the chimmys, there were no instruments but there was music. She looked around her until finally she saw an old man.

The old man was walking toward her and Miku tried to get a closer look at his face but it wasn't possible. He had no face. She then remembered what Mikuo had told her, that Heaven and Hell were the same place. It was the "Waiting Room". Every soul eventually got reborn unless the Queen had punished them and sentenced them to live in the Kingdom until the end of time.

The old man walked straight through Miku as if she was air but it was him who was. She got chills up her spine and ran to the gates of the palace. She leaned forward on the gate trying to catch her breath when two long arms wrapped around her. She turned around in fear but then quickly relieved when she saw it was Mikuo.

She quickly hugged him back and he laughed as they let go of eachother. "Miss me much?" Mikuo asked/

"No, I've just been dying to kill you for making me walk so much." Miku said with a smile.

"Well, you did lose some weight."

"Yeah, I wish I could say the same for you fatso."

"Me? The supermodel me? Why I'm insulted."

They both laughed a little more than the joke intended as the gates opened, they were just happy to be in eachother's company though after such a long time. Miku clinged to Mikuo's left arm as they walked into the palace, she was terrifed of the Joker that was waiting. She was expecting some demonic like creature after all the bad things she heard about the queen, not something beautiful like Mikuo.

They walked into a large game room and it was there... on a high platformed throne that Miku saw the Queen. Miku's jaw dropped as she saw the absolutely gorgeous queen. Her short brown hair that flared red had a golden crown decorated with somehow redded diamonds and pearls. Her face was mature, and more beautiful than an angel's, it belonged to a goddess of love or lust. Her corset dress had a somewhat black/red transparent bottom to it, and layers of silk. The throne was covered in red rose petals and on her neck, was a necklace of a rose. Miku almost went breathless looking at the Queen as the Queen's crimson red eyes looked straight through Miku.

"Finally you arrive." Meiko's voice rang. Miku was frozen as the Queen walked off her throne, Miku barely noticed that all the other Jokers were in the room as well. Mikuo took off his hat and slightly bowwed to the Queen and Miku bowwed as well.

"Nice to see you, old hag." Mikuo laughed as he put his hat on. "You haven't changed a bit."

"And I see that you're still stupid enough to tempt the bull." she offended her hand which Mikuo took and kissed to show respect.

"Of course, it's fun."

"We'll see which one of us will be saying that in the end."

They both walked to the game table and sat down. Miku was taken by Luka into another room while this occured. Mikuo set out his cards and dice and Meiko did the same.

Meiko smiled.

She lifted up her hand and the Ace Mikuo had up his sleeve flew to her. She held it up and Mikuo looked at her horrorifed. "Now, surely you must know a woman like me knows all the tricks boys play, right?"


(Let's skip that game)

Miku waited in the room until the game was over, Luka did not want her to witness it first hand. Then they both heard the voice of the queen echo through the palace.

"Checkmate, I win." Meiko's voice said. Luka took Miku out and walked them both back to the game room where Mikuo was, completely covered in blood and barely standing up. Meiko was completely unharmed though as she looked at Miku and Mikuo. Miku rushed to Mikuo helping him stand up as they waited for their punishment.

"Hmm..." The queen said as she laid on her throne. Then she pointed at Mikuo. "You go free... and.."

Miku gulped as the Queen pointed at her with a smile.

"And you... face death with no rebirth." Meiko laughed as Kaito walked toward Miku.

"Sorry, but I have to hun." he said. Mikuo shielded Miku away from him.

"Don't you touch her you bastard!" He yelled at Kaito as he tried to cover his wounds. Kaito pushed Mikuo out of the way and took Miku, who was in tears, away to another room. Kaito respected Mikuo enough not to kill Miku infront of him.
