Tadase Hotori. Back.
"Where were you?" Ikuto asked, his voice slightly above a whisper.
"Preparing," Tadase spat, taking out a gleaming silver dagger, "For this."
Tadase lunged towards Ikuto, who ducked out of his seat and rolled to the side. Amu watched speechlessly in horror as the two men kept pouncing on each other.
Ikuto grabbed both of Tadase's wrists and kneed him in the groin. (A/N: Not that there's much there :]) Tadase fell to the ground, staring at Ikuto, bewildered.
"You prepared all those years for that? A fight that lasts for a minute and ends with you on the ground?" Ikuto yelled scornfully. "I'm too good to kill scum like you."
Brushing off his jacket, the blue-haired king sat back on his throne. "Leave my kingdom, and never come back. If I ever see you again, I'll be feeding your liver to the chickens. Thank you, and have a nice day."

LOL. Short. But I wanted to end this arc so I could get on with the one shots. R&R!
