I'm back~! I'm so happy the exams are over! Did you guys miss me?
*wind blows by mercilessly*
I'll take that as a yes T^T . I won't be disheartened! This time I will also upload 2 chapters.
Warning: Midorikawa will mostly be preferred to as "her" again since he cross-dressed and also since Natsumi wanted to be sarcastic.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inazuma Eleven, even the names of the locations here are Hiroto's techniques, which all belong to their respective owner(s) (not me).
Well, then, to end my useless blabber, enjoy! ^0^
Chapter 5
"... They didn't know they've made a grave mistake...", Natsumi said and then she went silent. She lowered her head and her bangs covered her eyes. Her shoulders shook a little as she opened her mouth, but apparently, she was struggling. Aki and Haruna approached her, worry filled their eyes as they put their hands on her shoulder. Natsumi calmed down and continued. "The morning the Empire started marching to her castle, they found her standing on the Ryuusei Bridge, which was the only way over the Otoshi river, the border of 2 countries", ok, now that's a violation of copyright, "with a bow, 3 arrows and a sword. The 3 generals knew she was mentally unstable but to fight a whole army on her own, they concluded she had gone crazy. In a flash, the 3 arrows went through their heads. The army didn't even have enough time to react. Some said she drew her sword and single-handedly killed each and every one of them, others claim she casted a spell on them so they killed each other, then killed the rest, either way, her despair must have raised her abilities to a whole new level for any situation that might have happened, also, she wasn't even in the slightest merciful, 25000 people died that day. The citizens arrived shortly after the first arrow was shot, but it already ended, the river was dyed red; her white gown was dyed red. When her generals finally have the courage to voice her name, she turned around, red sparked in her eyes, and smiled tenderly. 'Wake the Bandersnatch, I'll pay my cute, darling little brother a visit.', the Princess said. That was what the ones involved say, who knows what really happened. But, everyone called that day the Aliea Massacre and she was called the Red Princess thus."
A chill ran down my spine. I realized why Kazemaru was so afraid of her yet respected her so much, too. But, the way Natsumi described her appearance sounded just like Midori-chan, except the "jade eyes" part. But then, Midori-chan is so cute and caring and sweet and...
"What are you thinking about?", Natsumi questioned, disturbed. I must have blushed...
"Please continue.", I pleaded as she hesitantly nodded.
"After that, the Red Princess went to the White King's castle to take the crown. The King, however, thought she was visiting him or at least she was there to report about the victory, until she asked for the crown. They duel after she threatened to kill all the people present, and he lost to her berserk self. The crown was hers. From then on, she ruled Underland. But, the problem is that since she entered her berserk mode, she's been quite psychotic, she wanted to wait for her love. She has convinced herself that her husband was alive and she needed to stay young forever to wait for him. Because of that, she uses Youth Elixirs. Youth Elixirs have many kinds, the one she uses includes very 'specific' ingredients. Not all of them, humane.", she started to grumble, "The people have sacrificed a lot to keep her young and healthy. That's not a good way to rule, we want the King to rule once more and for her, the Red Queen, to wake up from this dream, this delusion...", her face darkened, her red eyes filled with rage.
Haruna hugged her tight.
"We understand, Natsumi-san. We do, but it's not in our power to change it, even if we wanted to..."
I felt sorry and tried to comfort her but Aki brushed it away.
"It's ok Hiroto-kun, don't worry.", Aki patted me on the back and smiled.", By the way, since your orders have been fulfilled, let's discuss your payment. We need at least 8 strands of your red hair", she pointed to my head, "and 4 full test tubes of your blood."
I gulped bit but still agree. I pull several strands of my hair, more than 8 that is. She then held a syringe and came closer...
That's it, a short chapter, so sorry. I hope you enjoyed it!
About the number of people that died, I'm still wondering if I have exaggerated too much, please tell me your opinions on it.
Please review, I need to know my grammar and spelling mistakes. Also, if the plot or story line gets confusing, please do tell me. I'll fix it.
Thank you for taking your time to read this chapter/story. ^-^
