Disclaimer- :runs out screaming: I bought the rights to Yu Yu Hakusho and Dragon Knights on E-Bay! Woot::vicious monster aka lawyers start coming after me with pitch forks and brooms: o.O? I thought we got past the dark ages thing::runs away from the angry lawyers who are not with the times.: Sadly I must take it back and I do not own said animes or E-Bay, but my brain is up for auction if anyone would like to buy it. The only people I do own are Kharla, Liminality and Rune's mother I just gave a name to. She's not worth the hassle to own.
Me- Ok I lied…..this took a damn long time to get up.
Myself- Lazy as always.
Me- Not really……Calc was a bigger priority then fanfics. Even though I am going to drop the course anyways.
I- Which leaves more time for fics!
Me- You're right!
Myself- Still doesn't cover for your lazyness.
Me- :gasp: I am not lazy. I just have better things to do then write. Shock I know.
I- Like anime club!
Me- Yes and actually getting my work done!
Myself- We muses are feeling unused and under paid.
Me- I don't pay you a thing….
Myself- Exactly!
I- :gives Myself a cookie: There is your payment for being such a good muse!
Myself- :growles:
Me- I have also been working on a Ronin Warriors one shot that shall be posted on once I am finished with the lemon part. 14 pages hand written so far and I am not done yet!
Myself- Stop staling now and get on with it.
Me- Without further a due, onto the fic!
Prince of King
Chap 3- Shatter of Innocence
The elfin countess froze in her spot as the cooling tea drizzled down her face, mingling with the blood that trailed from her forehead. The rest of the tea cup pieces crashed to the floor shattering the silence around them.
"Don't you dare strike my daughter or my sister-in-law." Kharla hissed getting ready to throw the saucer if needed.
"Then you should teach that thing manners." Miretia hissed back glancing at Mukuro.
"That thing you are referring to is a human. And she has been able to stand demon slavery for the last 15 years of her life. I believe she has the best judgment here to determine who is evil and who is not." Kharl finally spoke up moving the saucer out of reach; he had much better weapons should the occasion call for it.
"Obviously you and your," She paused for a minute looking Kharla up and down "wife brain washed her into some evil philosophy. Elves are no where near demons or yokai."
"I wasn't talking about your looks, though they could match, I was talking about your soul." Mukuro rasped out standing to challenge her.
"That reminds me high countess, when was the last time you used your power of virtue?" Kharla asked smiling in a friendly way. Miretia took a step back glancing around the room. Rune gave her a questioning look almost hoping what was going on was a big dream.
"I have used it many times before now; it doesn't concern the dark likes of you to know what the pure light of virtue does." Miretia defended herself trying to stand proud.
"Prove it countess." Mukuro challenged.
"And I was talking about within the last 10 months." Kharla verified her statement.
"What did you say?"
"Prove it, or can't you use it anymore?" Mukuro taunted.
"I can full well use my natural born powers human!" The countess slapped her down to the ground almost daring her to get up again.
"Mukuro!" Liminality cried catching her and setting her down on the ground.
"Don't let that woman get to you Lim. She's worse then any of my demons masters and doesn't deserve the title she has." Mukuro tried to comfort holding onto her abused cheek.
"Don't you dare talk down to me child. I am far older and wiser then you."
"You lay another finger on her and you deal with me!" Liminality stood in front of her friend flexing each finger. Rath was ready to jump in and save her until he noticed a black and purple fog aura surrounding her.
'What the hell?' Rath thought as he continued to watch it grow.
"Come to me child." A deep male voice echoed around Liminality's head.
'Hu?' She responded back intelligently.
"Awaken me in the forest of Arinas. I am waiting."
'Who are you?'
"Awaken me and you shall find that out." Before Liminality could respond Calic and Phila walking into the room screaming.
"What in the world happened?" Phila demanded glaring at each person in the room.
"Phila! Calic!" Miretia exclaimed now hopeful of some support.
"Aunt Miretia what happened here?" Calic interrogated glaring down at her aunt.
"Is it that hard to see? These yokai attacked me." She hissed pointing to Kharla.
"After you struck Mukuro down and went for my daughter second." Kharla defended herself and her daughter.
"Is this true Rune?" Calic asked, the look in her eyes begging for the truth. Rune on the other hand was in a state of denial. His kind and caring mother would never dare hurt an injured person nor a child. She never showed any hostilities at home.
"Yes it's true." Rune whispered falling back onto the couch.
"Rune how could you accuse your own mother?" Miretia yelled, her temper flaring.
"How could you Aunt? Liminality is the most caring child I have ever seen and you go and abuse her because she is yokai!" Phila screamed at her a defiant sharpness on her words.
"And to hit the already injured! You would have lost your power of virtue at this moment if it was not already lost!" Calic growled helping Mukuro up from the ground.
"What are they saying mother?" Rune asked helplessly staring at her with such a lost expression on his face.
"She lost her power of virtue the moment she disowned her own son out of her rage and hatred. She was furious that you picked to marry Rath and not Tintlet. You are dead to her Rune." Phila informed her cousin in her most sympathetic way.
"They are lying Rune. I would never do such a thing." Miretia stumbled over to her son begging for him to believe her.
"Then why didn't you come to the wedding? Everyone else showed up but you." Liminality spoke up.
"You disowned me because of who I married?" Rune cried hiding himself in the pillows.
"Don't you dare speak to me like that in front of my son like that you yokai reject." Miretia screeched kicking Liminality in the gut. The yokai child stumbled to the ground coughing up a splatter of blood. That was the last straw Rath could take from that hellish woman. He grabbed the countess by her hair and almost dragged her to the front gate. Miretia screamed, howled and screeched in protest as she clawed at his hand.
"Get out of my house, get out of my kingdom." Rath hissed with such venom that she could taste it in her mouth. Then he threw her out the gates, shutting them closed in her face.
"Lord Rath what just happened?" Kai-Stern asked coming out of the library.
"I was just showing the countess out." Rath replied no emotion showing. Kai-Stern made a move to press the subject on but saw the yokai in Rath leaking out. He quickly shut up and went back into the library. When Rath walked back into the foyer Phila and Calic where hugging a hysterical Rune and Kharla and Kharl where comforting Liminality and Mukuro. Rath nudged his way in between Calic and Rune taking his husband into his arms.
"I'm sorry I was right." Rath whispered stroking the golden blonde locks.
"I'm sorry I doubted you." Rune hiccupped back curling himself around Rath's frame.
"I hate that woman." Liminality cried clutching her stomach.
"It's ok to hate her Lim, it's ok." Kharla whispered stroking her daughters back.
Me- It is finally done!
I- See it wasn't that bad.
Me- It's finding the time to be able to sit and type a full chapter without interruptions!
Myself- You have plenty of time. If you would wake up before noon.
Me- Anything before noon is an ungodly hour and I do not get up before then unless I have to.
I- Which means only if you have classes.
Me- Never said I was a stupid girl now did I?
Myself- But you would have time to type and write your chapters.
Me- You are no help at all.
Myself- I am too! Who's been keeping you on track though out this school year?
Me- The dust bunnies!
Myself- Them too.
Dust Bunnies- We are the ultimate force in time management!
Me- See, they are awesome.
I- Can I have some of your dust bunnies?
Me- NO! They are mine!
Myself- I guess I shall close out the fic. Please R&R and be patient with my pet. She's rather busy with attempting to drop Calc.
Me- You're pet!
Myself- Is there something wrong?
Me- I am not your pet :tackles Myself:
Myself- AHHHHHH::runs away screaming:
I- Byes for now!
Me- Dammit! Someone got my line again!
