Chapter 4 - Reincarnates
Syaoran was determined to understand the puzzle set out by this world. His endless questions were ready to bomb the queen, who gave them home and shelter. Everything was too confusing for them and they need to know the answers before things could get dangerous. In fact, they might already be in danger. In the hands of an unknown queen who they thought was the real queen. Well, Watanuki did say that the queen they knew of was the previous queen. But the lady said that the previous queen was a Light Queen. And the queen they knew was obviously the opposite. Unless something happened so dreadful that the queen became so..ominous.
Walking briskly in the residence of whom they seek, the group held their stance when out of nowhere, a man in a white cloak with intricate gold patterns stopped in their way. He wore a short black hair with his bangs swept to the side, his purple eyes narrowed into slits at them, his slim yet lean body stood with power.
"I suggest you back off."
The sharp voice cut through the air as tension rose between the man in a white cloak and everyone else. "What is the meaning of this?" Yuui shot back at the stranger.
"Her majesty will answer all of your questions in due time. For now, I suggest you back," the man stepped forward, "off." And another.
"What makes you think we'll follow what you say?" Kuro suppressed his rising anger.
The stranger made a 'hmph' sound and turned around, walking away from them.
...
"Majesty."
The woman dressed in a loose deep red kimono turned her head to her left.
"It's getting worse."
The voice, deep velvet continued, "The distortions are getting worse in that planet. We have little time left."
"I'd make a joke about how seriously ridiculous and ugly the portals opening in the supposed untouched planet, but it really isn't pretty. The condition that is." A tall, lean man with black hair walked out of the shadows, shrugging his shoulders. His hair is spiked differently, with one long spike fell to the right side of his face, and the rest of his hair is spiked in one direction towards the back. "Are we really gonna help 'em? Those humans?"
Everyone stared intently at the woman in the middle of the room, a light blue color illuminating the room made it hard to see the queen's expression aside from her sharp blood red eyes.
"We have to make a quick decision Your Majesty, but judging from your face, you've reluctantly decided." Another man whose body was also lean and built, his brown wavy hair framing his handsome face, spoke.
A door opening was heard, and the two men looked to see who entered the room.
"Oh hey, nice to see you back." The brown haired guy greeted the man in white cloak as he held up his arm in the air.
The man in white cloak narrowed his purple eyes on his comrade's arm. "I don't do that kind of greeting. You know that right?"
Brown haired made a face. "You're such a bundle of joy, you stuck up prince."
"I'm not a—"
"Hah! A stuck up prince. Of course you are!" The spiky man added more salt to the injury, much to the cloaked man's delight.
...
"I see."
Watanuki fixed his glasses as he mused. "A look a like of Dark Queen is the current queen of this world, who is the Light Queen. If we put two and two together, either the two is actually only one being, or the two are a mother and daughter."
"Well, it could be possible. But I'm pretty sure those two are related." Kuro commented.
"Either way, they don't want us knowing what's happening or who they are." Yuui joined in.
Doumeki entered the room with a plastic bag on his hand.
"Got everything?" Watanuki glanced up at his personal maid.
"I'm not a maid. Yeah I got everything."
Watanuki raised one brow in confusion. "I didn't say that." He grabbed the plastic from Doumeki and stood up, leaving the room. Before opening the door, he glanced back at the remaining group and said, "Let's just wait for her Majesty to clear everything up. One way or another, we're going to have to trust her."
