Hey everyone I decided to write these chapters before I write my other story's chapter, but I don't think many people are mad at me so I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Trouble is Following Me

Kairi's Point of View

I ran down to where the shadows of people were only to find little peasant children playing around by the trees. It was a wonder how they even got into the palace in the first place, but they seemed like no harm could come from them. I walked into view and as soon as I did they pulled out weapons and tried to attack me. All of the children were boys and two of them jumped in the air to attack me while the rest came at me from the ground. I dodged them easily and pulled out my sword in time to protect myself from a fatal attack. I didn't want to hurt any of the children even if there intent was to kill me so I only used the flat side of my sword to protect myself and attack them without fatal injury. I shoved the flat part of my sword hard into the stomach of the two guys in the air knocking them back in the trees hard. The other kids were to close to move my sword and only having a second before I could be injured badly I kicked out my foot and swing it around causing the rest to fall on their butts. Too late I sensed a kid behind me and waited to feel the weapon to pierce my skin, but it never happened. Instead I heard a loud scream and then the crashing of two bodies on the ground. I wanted to turn around, but only two of the kids were knocked out so I had to knock the rest out with fists to their heads. Finally after I was sure everything was secure I turned around to find Yaya stepping her right foot on the unconscious boy, looking all proud of herself. I sighed in relief happy that she was okay though for what reason she came I do not know. "That was dangerous Yaya you could have been hurt," I said calmly because I knew that no one likes yelling. In fact I have only not been calm three times in my life that I do not wish to revisit.

"Yeah, well so was going by yourself that was also dangerous don't you think? I mean you are a Prince Kairi so do you know what will happen if you die within this Kingdom? It could start a war your Kingdom would be pissed and enraged," Yaya said staring straight into my plain calm emotionless eyes. Her eyes looked at me with a mixture of feelings like outraged, indifference, worry, and something else that I could not quite figure out.

"You're right Yaya please forgive my imprudence behavior." We were both silent for a moment until we heard a loud piercing scream.

"Oh shit! I told them to get inside the palace," Yaya said with a terrified look. Without any hesitation both of us ran to the palace forgetting about the kids behind us and not noticing the one pair of eyes that stared at our backs with a smile one their face.

Amu's Point of View

Holly sushi my little sister can scream! Oh wait she probably doesn't even recognize me as Rima's top maid much less sister. It also probably doesn't help that I have some blood on my outfit and that all these other strangers are around her. "Sheesh Ami shut up or you will worry others I swear I am not here to hurt you two," I sighed not knowing how to convey this to her.

"Amu maybe you shouldn't be talking to her since you look like such a mess let me deal with her," Utau said shoving me back and walking toward the two kids only to stop in front of them.

"Don't touch Ami," Hikaru shouted as he stood in front of her and Ami.

"Listen kid we are not here to harm you and in fact we will leave you here right now if you want us to or I could sing you a song and then go on are way. Anyway the choice is yours because we are members of this Kingdom and we are not here to do anything bad. Got it?" Utau was trying to explain it to them as if they were adults, but they seemed to be calming down which was bugging me for some reason. Suddenly I felt a presence coming out us and pulled out my sword protecting the others. There was a loud clash of two swords grinding against each other and that is when the others turned around and noticed.

"Hey Yaya! Hey Kairi! Remember us?" I questioned and then put my sword away once I saw no threat.

"That's a stupid question Amu. Of course we remember you," Yaya smirked and Kairi smiled coolly.

Rima's Point of View

You would think my parents would stop bossing me around when I became Queen, but no they just kept on prodding and annoying me. "When are you going to come up with the new name for the Kingdom it needs to be done soon," my parents asked Nagihiko and me. Nagihiko and my parents have now joined the council members and are of utmost important, but all I want to do is get away from them. I sighed.

"Well maybe if some of the council members would stop disagreeing we could have the name of the new Kingdom already, but perhaps I can persuade them again later today when the meeting comes," I replied.

"Don't worry Rima by today we shall have agreed upon the Kingdom's new name because we have to work on more pressing issues," Nagihiko added. He winked and I knew he was talking about finding Amu and Ikuto so I smiled back at him.

"Why how thoughtful of you dear," I grinned. Even if I hated using terms of endearment I used them when I wanted Nagihiko to understand I was pleased.

"So how have your knights been doing Queen Rima," my mom asked with concern.

"The knights? Those fools were incompetent so I reassigned them back to being guards for they were much better at that," I said with a light air. I really, really missed Amu and she is so going to be punished if she died on me and if she doesn't come back soon.

"However my darling did reassign someone else to be her guard so she is still protected," Nagihiko added calmly when he saw the worry on my parents' faces.

"Who is he this guard she values more than the two we provided for her," my father asked with hidden anger.

"His name is Hiro and he was trained by the Pink Flare before urrm…. he was sent of on that long mission," I said catching an almost mistake. I told everyone that I had sent him on an important mission that might take a long while so no one felt suspicious he was gone. I haven't even told Nagihiko yet that Amu is really the Knight, but as soon as I find her I plan on it.

"So King Nagihiko what has your mother been doing lately? I do hope very much that she is comfortable and enjoying her free time," my father commented.

"She is fine my mother has been in the library much lately. I do think she is studying the best route to take when all worse possible causes happen and it does make me wonder if she worries too much." Nagihiko grabbed my hand and squeezed it hard with worry. I squeezed it back with equal strength telling him it would be okay. We turned to look at each other and smiled.

"Nagihiko do not worry for your mother just does not know what to do with herself now that she is not Queen. I feel that this may be normal after living such a long time as one," I said.

Ikuto's Point of View

Yaya and Kairi led Utau, Amu, the two kids Amu found, and I to Rima and Nagihiko. My parents and Amu's followed behind us. "Darn it! I forgot to take care of those kids in the forest on the palace grounds check up with you guys later," Kairi shouted and ran off into the trees. Yaya glanced back at Kairi with concern, but continued her way into the entrance of the castle.

"So how have you been Ikuto? I must say that Prince Nagihiko has been worried about you although he won't say it with words," Yaya asked me as we started to go down a long hallway.

"I'm not really sure how I am right now, but I swear it tomorrow I will be sure," I chuckled to blow off the seriousness of my response. I glanced over at Amu who was holding each of the children's hands. She seemed to be thinking about something serious as well so I turned my attention back to Yaya.

"Hmm this place has changed much since the last time I saw it guess a lot changes in 10 years," Utau sighed as she looked around the palace.

"Hey Yaya how is this little youngster doing," Amu asked as she shook Ami's hair into a mess.

"My little sis? Ami why don't you tell her," Yaya hinted.

"Ami is doing well in this last month Ami got proposed to by Hikaru so when we get old enough to we want to marry," Ami said giggling as Hikaru hid his face from view. Amu turned to smile at the children, but it didn't reach her eyes.

"Just around the corner Rima and Nagihiko should be," Yaya warns just before we turn the corner to find Nagihiko talking to Rima's parents. Are footsteps are overheard on the marble floor that held soft delicate and beautiful designs.

"Amu!" Rima shouted and soon tears slipped past her eyes as she embraced Amu in a tight hug. Nagihiko and I just stared at each other in shock for a minute then I slowly rise up my hand.

"Yo, Nagihiko how are you doing," I asked.

"Ikuto you're okay!" Nagihiko said jumping up from his chair and coming over to pat my back and smile at me.

"Amu who are these people you and Ikuto brought along with you," the Queen asked calmly, but with demand clearly written on her eyes.

"These two are my parents," Amu said indicating to her mother and father who were looking at the palace with awe.

"These two would be my parents and this one is my sister," I answered.

"Then who would be those two young children next to you Amu," the King asked.

"Those would be new members of my family dear King," Amu smiled shyly.

"It is neither my wife nor I who should be called the names of royal status any more Amu," the Old King said looking at Rima and Nagihiko for them to explain the rest.

"Amu, Ikuto we have something important to tell you," Rima said looking straight into our eyes.

"When you two saw the wall that separates our two Kingdoms you can probably make an inference that the two Kingdoms have become one," Nagihiko said looking into both our eyes calmly.

Amu nodded her head as well did I. Both of us were waiting for the answer of why and how the two Kingdoms became one. Rima sighs and then shoves Nagihiko out of the way.

"The thing is Nagihiko and I are the new King and Queen," Rima said flat out.

"We really wanted you two to be there at the Wedding, but it wasn't really us who wanted to get married," Nagihiko added after a minute of looking at the shock on Amu and my faces.

"Well I am not quite sure what I am supposed to say to that, but I hope this works. I wish you two the best of luck in your early marriage," I say after a long pause.

"I wish the both of you the same and I think Ikuto and I need to have a talk about this prophecy that points toward us. I want to know all the facts now," Amu said changing her face from happy to stern.

"Okay, but promise you won't hate me for it!" Rima looked at Amu for a long moment causing what was minutes seem to feel like hours.

"Fine."

Hey everyone hopped you liked this chapter a lot! Anyway I have reread some of my past chapters for this series and remembered that Amu and Ikuto had grown real close only to become wary of each other. In the next chapter I plan to work back their trust and connection to each other so until next time!
