As soon as Amaya got off of me, I stood up and grabbed two pillows; one for each hand. I threw one of them at Hikaru and the other at Kaoru. They ended up getting hit in the heads by said pillows. They turned toward me and I searched for another pillow. I spotted one, but didn't get to it before they got to me. Amaya threw a pillow to me (thankfully not at me) and I hit them back.
The room was full of laughter and flying pillows. "WILL YOU ALL SHUT UP? I CAN HEAR YOU FROM DOWN THE HALL!" The room fell silent and we all looked toward the door.
"Um... Kirara, there's no need to yell," Amaya told her sister. Kirara looked tired and I felt bad that we woke her up. I went to her and knelt down.
"We're sorry, we'll be quiet." She looked at me. Her eyelids were drooping ever so slightly right before my eyes.
"'Iyomi?" She asked. She was so tired, it was obvious not only by her appearance, but also her voice. "Will you tell me a story?" I looked back at everyone in the room. Amaya shrugged and everyone else just watched. "Please?"
I hugged her a lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around my waist and rested her head on my shoulder. She let out a yawn and I chuckled. "What do you want to hear a story about?"
"I don't know. Make one up..." I looked at Amaya and hoped that she understood the plead I was trying to convey to her. Amaya nodded.
"Okay then, let me think." I carried the young girl to Amaya's bed and placed her under the covers that Amaya had pulled back. "Once upon a time, there was a little princess named Kirara, she was really pretty -at least that's what all the princes said. She had beautiful long brown hair and eyes to match, her skin shone with the color of flawless ivory. She always wore a stunning electric blue gown. Not only was the little princess beautiful, but her parents were the king and queen of the..."
I couldn't think of anything, so Amaya spoke up. "Of the Rainbow Kingdom, one of the most powerful kingdoms in the land. The little princess also had an older sister named Amaya."
"Amaya too was beautiful, she actually looked like a taller version of her little sister. Only she wore a purple gown. One night, the two princesses decided that they wanted to go on an adventure, for they had never stepped foot outside of the Rainbow Kingdom. They had to sneak out of their castle however. The Queen had told the guards to keep the princesses safe, meaning they couldn't go out at night."
"Why not?" Kirara asked. I think the story was waking her up, not putting her to sleep.
"Because at night, the King of the Shadow Kingdom sent out his shadow minions to cause trouble and learn the secrets of the world," Amaya explained. I saw Kyoya roll his eyes, but I only laughed at him and continued on.
"And the two rulers of the Devil's Playground, they are the ones that really wreak havoc over everyone. They don't care about the secrets, they care about causing trouble. It's what they are best at."
"Did you both just call your boyfriends evil?" Haruhi asked. Amaya and I looked at each other before answering her with vigorous nods. We crawled into the bed, so we were on either side of Kirara and each placed an arm around her. She had sat up when we started the story.
Amaya started the story again. "The princesses had to disguise themselves in order to sneak out of the kingdom. They wrapped cloaks around themse-"
"Invisibility cloaks like in Harry Potter?" Kirara interrupted.
I nodded. "Of course! How else would they be able to get past all of the guards that had noticed they were missing. Princess Kirara loved the feeling of adrenaline as she casually walked through the gates down to the village. There they dropped the cloaks and walked among the villagers. Everyone was so colorful that the princesses didn't have to worry about being spotted."
"That was the best part of the Rainbow Kingdom of course. Everyone wore different colors to match those on the rainbow that was always in the sky overhead, even at night. Amaya tapped on the shoulder of a person that looked like they could help. 'Excuse me sir,' she said politely."
"'How can I help you Miss?' The man asked," I said in my manliest voice.
"Do you happen to know where the closest village is to here? She asked shyly."
"The man seemed to think for a moment. 'I think that would be the village of the Moonlight Kingdom. It's not too far, but it'll take a day or two to get there,' he said."
"The princesses nodded and gave a thank you as they headed off down the road that would take them to a different kingdom."
~~~
Amaya smirked lightly as she saw the other finally sit down and lean back to listen to the story. "As the two sisters walked along the path to the Moonlight Kingdom they came across a fleeing princess wearing a silver dress. It could only be none other than Princess Kiyomi" Amaya began again smiling at Kiyomi.
"Princess Kiyomi had a horrible mother that was always putting her beautiful daughter down, so finally Kiyomi had enough of it and decided to run away. Princess Amaya and Kirara stopped the girl and asked what was wrong, and Princess Kiyomi told them both. Princess Kirara was the first to speak up…" Amaya added looking at Kiyomi.
"She asked if Princess Kiyomi wanted join them on their adventure, and of course Princess Kiyomi just had to say yes. But all three Princesses were very aware of the danger they'd be if they were caught by the Shadow King or the Princes' of Devil's Playground. You see…" Kiyomi added.
"All three Princes were looking for a queen. But none of the females they had been shown suited their tastes. However all three of them were known for taking young girls who walked alone at night to their castle to see if maybe they were the right girl," Amaya continued before Tamaki interrupted her.
"But! Kyoya, Hikaru and Kaoru would never do something like that!" He protested.
"Do you want to tell the story?" Amaya asked raising her eyebrow at him.
"No…." Tamaki said docilely.
"Good then be quiet…" Amaya warned before tapping her chin. "Now where was I? Oh yes! So the three were very sneaky as they walked through the town, listening to the people of Moonlight Kingdom talk about the recent spies they had seen from the Shadow Kingdom. Apparently he was trying to gather information on Princess Kiyomi. It seemed he wished to marry her…" Amaya trailed off smirking as Kiyomi turned to her.
"WHAT? Wait a minute that's not how the story's supposed to go!" Kiyomi shouted surprised.
"…As I was saying, the shadow King seemed to be interested in marrying Kiyomi. However, she didn't wish to be married, the princess had informed them. The three girls then made a plot to escape. They put on their cloaks of invisibility, and quickly walked into the Devil's playground by accident.
"It was just their luck that they were captured by the Princes' guards, who were not fooled by cloaks of invisibility. The three Princesses were then taken to the castle and put in a room where they were to wait. Apparently they were to be greeted by their hosts momentarily…" Amaya said smirking at Kiyomi.
"Little did they know they were to be greeted by the King and Queen of the Golden City Haruhi and Tamaki, who had planned the three Princesses captures, thinking it would be good for their friends, Princes Hikaru, Kaoru, and Kyoya.," Kiyomi said, making Amaya smirk and look at Tamaki and Haruhi who were both blushing like mad.
Amaya then began to pick up the story. "When they were greeted by the King and Queen all three girls bowed lowly. You see King Tamaki and Queen Haruhi were the divine rulers of all the lands. Their trusted friend the Shadow King took care of all the background checks and making sure everyone was doing what they were supposed to. The twin Princes, Hikaru and Kaoru were their trusted advisors and avid tormentors of King Tamaki…"
"What about me Amaya-chan?" Honey asked sweetly.
"Ah yes the we can't forget Prince Honey and his cousin Prince Mori, as they were known, rulers of the Strawberry Kingdom, and in charge of throwing all of the land's balls and providing sweets for all that attended" Amaya said making the boy grin. "They were also the esteemed protectors of all those who lived with in the land's borders, being the best at martial arts anyone had seen in over a hundred years. They too were there to meet the three Princesses of the Kingdoms. You see, Kiyomi, Amaya and Kirara did not attend the balls held by the group of friends, nor did they care much for any of the social activities these men held. They only paid attention to the other Kingdoms if it was drastically important and involved their people.
~~~
I smiled at the excitement in Honey's eyes as he listened to Amaya. I took over for her. "The princesses were honored that the King and Queen were there to actually greet them themselves. Why exactly are we here? Kirara wondered out-loud. Queen Haruhi smiled at the little princess."
"Just then, the Shadow King and the twin princes came into the room. The older princesses stared. After everything they had heard of the three standing in front of them, never had they imagined them to be as handsome as they were. Kirara didn't understand what had them so focused on the men in front of them, so she jumped in front of the two to try and protect them."
"You can't hurt them! She said in her bravest voice. Amaya pulled her sister to her and held her close. Don't be so stupid, Kirara, Amaya whispered to her."
"The Shadow King crossed the room and placed a hand on the Moonlight princess's chin. It was obvious that she was scared, who wouldn't be after all that is said throughout their kingdoms? He examined her closely and then let go of her. She's not right either! He shouted in frustration."
Kirara gasped. "Why did he think she would be right in the first place?"
I smiled at her and tried to explain, "Well, he thought that since the sun never rose in the Moonlight Kingdom -much as in the Shadow Kingdom- that she would be the best choice for his bride."
"Then what was wrong?" She asked again.
This time Amaya answered. "Princess Kiyomi's eyes showed two sides to a personality. He knew that she would be better suited for the Devil's Playground princes. The twin princes took the place the Shadow King had just vacated and each took her chin. Kiyomi pulled her face out of their grasps. People really need to stop touching me so freely, she said with a huff."
"And why can't we touch you as much as we want? One twin asked. We are after all the princes of the very castle you are standing in, the other added. All while this was happening, princess Amaya was sneaking glances at the very Shadow King she had on many occasions confessed to hating. Little did she know, he was glancing back every so often."
"Hey! Since when are we going off real life occurrences here?" Amaya asked. I shrugged. Kirara leaned her head against me and I looked down at her face. Her eyes were closed and her breathing had deepened. Carefully, Amaya and I laid her back in the bed and pulled the covers up over her.
"So, how does it end?" Tamaki asked excitedly. Amaya placed her finger on her lips telling him to lower his voice.
"The King and Queen awarded princess Kirara for her bravery," I said.
"And the princes of Devil's Playground fell in love with princess Kiyomi," Amaya said.
"And the Shadow King finally showed his true self, with a little help from princess Amaya of course. It took a lot of pushing from the three rulers of Devil's Playground to finally get them to admit their feelings for each other, but once they did, they lived happily ever after."
"The end," Amaya and I said together.
A/N And the two of us Megan and myself (Meghan) got really carried away with this….So guess what that means! We are making a story, based off of Kirara's bedtime story. So Yeah Look out for that =D.
