-1Chapter 2: The last of one Kingdom

As the night was silent there was yelling in one of the chambers.

Akito yelled, "What were you doing with her!"

Kureno replied, "Nothing. We simply don't know enough to do anything." Akito slapped Kureno across the face.

"You are lying through your teeth!" She said.

"But I am telling nothing but the truth." Kureno protested.

"Then what about those nights I didn't see you or her at the same time?" Akito asked.

"That is simple. We might have been in different rooms." Akito slapped Kureno again. But this time started to throw things.

"You are lying. If you wish to leave my side then go. I can always do better then you!" Then each of them went to separated chambers without a word. Kureno started to wash his face from the blood that was there. Then he started to take things from his wardrobe and pack .He quickly and quietly went to Queen Uo's room. He knocked very quietly. Uo appeared at the door in her nightgown.

"Come in. Come in." She said waving her hands. Uo noticed the cuts on his face.

She asked, "Why don't you defend yourself?"

Kureno said, "I can't. I am merely a man that can get his head chopped off."

Uo was outraged, "But you don't have to hurt her to defend yourself!" Kureno started to wince in front of Uo.

Uo shook her head, "I'm not going to hurt you. I can promise you this." Kureno looked at her and kissed her. They slowly slipped themselves in the Queen's bed. They had their way with each other without one person noticing this. Before sunset Kureno slipped in the boat that would lead Uo and Tohru back home. After they were far away from the shore line were Akito ruled Kureno showed his face. Tohru looked at him. Tohru was dumb founded. (As usual I suspect.)

"Why is King Kureno here?" She asked. Kureno got closer and closer to Uo until finally he had Uo's waist.

"No. For we are in love Tohru. Unlike you with Yuki and Kyo I have found my one true love" Uo announced.

"But he is already married. How can he get married to you? He can't have two wives." Tohru argued.

Uo said, "He will not have two wives. For in our kingdom the marriage is invalid." Tohru shook her head.

"It is not invalid. For we have signed the treaty." Then slowly but surly they gotten home with a great greeting.
