Here is the next instalment of this story! Since this didn't come out within my hoped for time frame I have decided on something. For those who follow Dorei Senshi, Arabian Knights, Polaris and AHEA, I'm putting those on a temporary hiatus. Do not fear, they will be finished but seeing as Karuka started them without knowing where the stories were going, I'm having difficulty writing them. This story as well as Suichu Teikoku will be updated weekly and when they are finished then the other four will be updated weekly.

Thank you for your patience. ;P

Allen swam back to the surface and sat on the edge of the ruins as he waited for Kanda to reach the surface as well. The Atlantian blushed slightly as images of the samurai is nothing but undergarments came to his mind. His thoughts were broken when said samurai broke the surface and joined the white-haired boy on the ruins. Allen hesitated slightly before leaning closer to Kanda. Kanda for his part leaned in as well and the two slowly came together in a chaste kiss.

"Have a nice swim boys?" a voice came from behind them. Kanda quickly whipped his head around to see his entire squad, the Earl having been the one that had spoken to them.

"What..?" the raven-haired man began but was silenced when a gun was pointed at Allen.

"So sorry Kanda dearest. Ya see, we needed to make sure you were with us and not against us." Lulubell replied as she ushered the Atlantian to his feet and secured him with ropes. Kanda looked back and forth between the Earl and his people and all of those who were closest to Kanda. Lavi shook his head while Lenalee and her brother looked down. Tiedoll and Marie looked away from the samurai.

"Why are you doing this? What could you possibly gain from capturing Moyashi?" Kanda questioned, his fingers itching for mugen which was now with Tyki Mikk who stood between the Earl and Lavi.

"You see Kanda dearest, we want the Innocence that the Atlantians possess. That green gem around their necks is part of the bigger gem and we want it for ourselves. However, we couldn't just barge in and demand it so we devised a well thought out plan where we could get the gem. This here Atlantian is the prince and if threatened, the king would gladly hand the gem over to us in exchange for his son." the Earl explained before grabbing Allen by his face and bringing the Atlantian closer to him, his wide grin shining menacingly at the boy.

Allen, for his part, spit in the Earl's face and started yelling in Atlantian."Fihyiqz! E'ss wess vua!" However, this did not unfazed the Earl who instead maliciously grinned before slapping the Atlantian harshly. Kanda went to help the prince but was grabbed by several soldiers who held him back.

"Bastard!" the samurai yelled before the Earl came up to him with a slightly less feral grin.

"Now, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Easy way is you tell us where the innocence is and we go on our merry way and the hard way is the same result but with physical force in which this prince of yours might not live. Understand?" the Earl explained and he watched as the samurai sunk in submission so as to not get the Atlantian prince killed. Seeing this, Allen felt his heart twist painfully. The disbelief hurt so much that tears began to well up in his eyes.

"E yqahyoz vua. E foseojoz eg vua. Dur muasz vua zu ydeh!?" Allen yelled as he was pulled away and lead to his home, his tears spilling over.

Kanda marched with the troops as they made their way up to the palace. He looked to the front and saw his Moyashi (yes his) being dragged along, tied with ropes, and tears streaming down his ethereal face. His heart broke at the sight and he wished for nothing else but to stop those tears. Before he knew it, they were at the palace entrance, the King standing in front of his throne looking more than angry.

"Give us the innocence or the boy dies." Lulubell demanded while shoving her pistol against the Atlantians waist. "Now!"
