A Royal Secret
Disclaimer: This one randomly came to me while I was eating some Popcorn Chicken Nuggets. Thanks Nuggets! Its probably cliché but oh wells! Also makes use of the idea of the Kitsune Kingdom from 'Training The Pack' as well for those that liked that idea.
Summary: After being told to come for a visit that she couldn't get out of during Spring Break and to bring along her boyfriend, Kira's forced to make a big reveal to the guy she loves.
"I'm… I'm sorry, but I don't think I heard you right." Said one Scott McCall; loving son and boyfriend, UC Davis student, Veterinarian in training, and Beta Werewolf of the Hale Pack.
The vision in front of him, known as Kira Yukimura, a girl of Japanese and Korean heritage, bit her lower lip as she looked at him. "No, you heard me right, babe. I'm the Princess of the Kingdom of the Kitsune."
"I thought… I thought that was a myth?" Asked the shocked Beta.
"You were myth-taken?"
Scott shot her a look and she winced again over how bad that response had been. "S-Sorry, wrong time for that."
"Sooo… You're a Princess of a whole Kingdom of Kitsunes?" Asked Scott to get a clearer picture of things.
"Uh-huh. Though there's other races living there too since Grandfather Iwao thought it was important to mingle like that. And mom agreed with that stance even before she took over in his place as the Kingdom's ruler." Kira told him.
Though her mother's reign had only been happening since the early 1950's after she had come back to Japan following a horrible event she had been involved with while in an Internment Camp. Grandfather Iwao's health had begun to fail him and it had been the reason her mother, Noshiko, had ended up taking control of the Kingdom to ensure no one would try anything. She, like many others, had thought his health would get better but in 1957, had ended up passing away in his sleep. Kira had heard many stories of her late Grandfather and always wished she had had the chance to meet him. Her mother meeting a Korean man named Ken Choi some years later had ruffled a few feathers as he was just a Human and in no way Royal but as her mother soundly reminded them, it was her choice who she married and no one else's. Thus, leading to Kira being born and her parents ensuring she wasn't some spoiled brat like other children would probably become in a situation like her's. But when the time came to go to College, Kira felt going to America for it and not somewhere in Japan was the right course of action.
Plus, she wanted a break from all the Kingdom function stuff and if it hadn't of been for her dad, her mom would probably not have ever let her do it. Which was how she ended up meeting Scott shortly after arriving at the U.C. Davis campus in California. And then later, a sneeze of all things accidentally causing Scott to Shift in front of her and prompting her to reveal her Kitsune side and greatly relieving him that she wasn't going to break up with him just cause he's a Werewolf. "How, how come you never told me this?" He asked her in a hurt manner.
Causing Kira to wince. "I, Scott, I wasn't sure how to bring it up. Plus, that part of my life was thousands of miles away and I pushed it to the back of my mind so I could enjoy having a normal non Royal life."
"And was having me for a boyfriend part of that plan?"
"What!? No! I swear on Inari herself that's not the case! I wasn't even planning to have a boyfriend anytime soon after I started here but then we met and that completely changed! I swear, I wouldn't ever do that to you or anyone else, Scott. I love you! Genuinely love you." Kira replied quickly and sincerely, and feeling worried and scared he would end things with her after she had come clean to him about her Royal status.
Scott stared at her for a moment that felt like an eternity until he sat down as he blew out a breath. "Oh Jesus, I've been dating a legit Princess for nearly 4 years! I'm so dead cause I'm nothin' like that and your mom's gonna kill me if your dad doesn't beat her to it!" Moaned the young man as any doubt of her feelings towards him had gone out the window after hearing her sincerity.
Instantly, Kira was kneeling in front of him and grabbing his face so he'd look at her as he panicked. "Babe, calm down! My mom married my dad and he wasn't anywhere close to Royalty, okay? So you have nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing to worry about. Plus, I can't see my parents being against us as you care about and love me for me just like I care about and love you for you. Sure, certain people in the Court with old school thinking might object but my mom wouldn't put up with it."
"You sure?"
"The absolute surest. Just… Don't let Stiles be around any of them yet." Replied Kira as her boyfriend's best friend and brother in all but blood could be hard on the nerves at times.
Her boyfriend couldn't help but chuckle. "Yeah… That probably wouldn't help me any at all as he'd ask every question he could think of just to learn what he could."
The two shared a chuckle at the mental image that brought up in their minds. "S-So, are, are we good?" Asked the young Princess nervously as she nibbled on her lower lip in worry.
Scott blew out a breath as he looked at her. "Yeah, we are. I mean, its gonna take a bit longer for me to wrap my head around the fact you're an actual Princess but we're good." Was the reply that had her looking rather relieved by that.
The couple then kissed one another softly as she climbed into his lap, allowing him to hug her tightly to him. "Wow… I'm kinda relieved you know now."
"Any other secrets I should know about? Like you secretly being an actress or something?"
"Nope! No other secrets." Replied the girl as she got comfortable in her man's lap.
"Works for me."
"Although… My mom is 900 years old and my dad's only in his 40's."
A groan escaped Scott that had her laughing. "You're evil."
"Maybe, maybe not." Teased the Kitsune Princess before kissing him.
She let out a squeal seconds later when he began to tickle her for her teasing. And while he might not have questions right now, Kira had a feeling that once Scott processed everything more, he'd be liable to really freak out and start to ask questions. Hopefully not before getting on the plane for Japan though! Since doing all that while on the plane wouldn't exactly be an ideal situation! Not to mention being something Stiles, Malia, and Jackson would more then likely mock the crap out of if they found out!
Author's Notes: Heh, Scott would definitely be nervous as Hell in meeting Queen Noshiko!
