Alfred laid in bed with his tail laying hanging halfway off the bed, staring up at the ceiling of his room. he let out a deep sigh. he found it was completely boring round the place without his brother there to bug and play with. he turned his head to look at the spot his brothers bed use to be. they had removed it days ago. it was actually not long after he got to see his brother again. how long has it been since then? he couldn't remember but it couldn't have been more than a week now. he forced himself to get up off his bed and walked over to the window. he glance up at that sky noticing it was a clear night out. he scanned the sky thinking about all the places his brother could be visiting and the adventures he could be having. he got lost in the many heroic scenarios that he could be in. when he came out of his daze he noticed his gaze was focused on the moon. it would be a full moon tomorrow night. that reminded him he needed to go see how his master was doing. he pushed himself away from the window then quickly ran to his masters room.

Stopping right outside the room he raised his hand to knock but stopped for a moment. he took a deep breath before knocking on the door. hearing the words "come in" he slowly opened the door looking around the large room. his eyes landed on his master who was looking out a window holding a glass of some clouded looking liquid. walking more into the room he watched as his master took another sip of his drink then turned his gaze upon him. Reaching his master the blonde looked from the glass to the person holding it. "is that the stuff that is supposed to help with your uh 'problem'?"

Finishing his glass and setting it on the nightstand next to his bed Ivan nodded at his servant. "da. it is." he walked over to his bed picking up a few clothes laying there and putting them into a suitcase laying next to them. he noticed ears droop out of the corner of his eye and turned to his servant when he started to speak. "you're leaving." it wasn't a question it was most of a disappointed statement from the little neko.

"da. I am. I have business in within Kitsune clans to the North east of here"

"oh. well. can I please go with master! just this once I would like to! I know I ask this every time and I know what the answer will always be I just hope it would maybe be different this time."

Turning to look at his servant the Russian king noticed the sad look on the neko boys face. it wasn't hopeful at all. it was a face of disappointment and sadness. was that a hint of loneliness in his eyes? Sighing the Russian king thought for a moment over the decision of taking his servant with him then remembered his and Arthurs talk when he visited him a while ago.


(flash back)
Finishing mixing up a potion Arthur set the bottle of cloudy liquid on the table putting a stopper into the top of the bottle. "there you go Ivan. this should help your issues pertaining to the moon." he crossed his arms looking at the Russian king who had picked up the bottle inspecting it. "thanks. I do not wish to keep loosing my self."

Nodding the griffin agreed. "I am glad to help. no one wants to become a Rogue. though a Rogue of your kind is quite rare. your past has made it hard for you to control your self especially under the full moon."

"da it is unheard of but there is one I know of that has become Rogue. I banished him for that reason alone." the white haired king put the bottle into his jacket. "you should warn your Master and his friends. that is all. you may leave now."

Arthur nodded heading for the door then stopped remembering what he felt when tapping into the twin neko's minds. he glanced back at Ivan "actually there was something I had to discus with you pertaining to your servant and his brother. it about what I noticed during my spell." he noticed his had gotten the others complete attention now. he cleared his throat before continuing. "those two neko's. they are the last of their kind. as far as we know. no one knows much about the neko race but one thing is known. the Rogue's they become more evident when the neko race was wiped out. how they were wiped is still unknown." he noticed the king was getting a bit impatient with knews he obviously already knew so he decided to go straight to the point. "well those two are special I felt a strange connection between to the two. they also have a connection to the Rogue. not sure what kind but I suggest you keep Alfred close. I know you think keeping him in the castle is safe but hear me out. wouldn't it be safer with you?" he waited for answer but when he didn't seem to be getting one he continued. "I'm going to visit with two friends with this information and discuss this with them. us three are the only ones that know magic. I will report any info I have found to you. I will take my leave now take what I have said into consideration."


Ivan glanced at his servant who now had a confused and hopeful look since he hadn't said anything yet. thinking over everything the griffin told him. he decided to take the advice seeing as it would be safer if he was with him. also it would make his servant happy. right? he focused on going back to packing. "Alfred shouldn't you be packing as well?"

Standing there in shock the blond cat couldn't believe if what he was hearing was true. he smiled big and nodded even though his master couldn't see him. "alright! I'll go pack right now!… Ivan?…" he waited for the other attention before running over him and giving him a hug. "thanks master." he then lowered his voice. "also my heats soon." he then perked up again and ran out of the room.

Watching his servant leave to go pack the werewolf king stood there then smiled glad he seemed to have made the right decision. he definitely couldn't leave his servant alone during his heat. hes done it before and seeing the state the neko was in when he had came back… he couldn't put him through that again. he finished packing then picked up his suitcase walking over of his room to go check on his servant.


Matthew sighed sitting on his bed. he unwrapped the bandages from around his left arm watching as a scar in the shape of a bite mark on his forearm slowly began to show. he let the bandages fall to the ground then gently ran his fingers over the scarred skin. he was surprised how fast his wounds had healed from his attack. he had an uneasy feeling all day and his arm has been bugging him but he couldn't explain the feeling. he laid his ears back whining slightly rubbing his arm. he hopped this weird feeling would disappear soon. he knew he should tell someone but how could he explain something he didn't know. it also didn't help that the person he wanted to talk with was ignoring him.

Getting up the young neko walked over his dresser pulling out a long sleeve shirt. looks like it was back to hiding his scar again. he didn't know why but something was telling him that no matter how much he wanted to tell someone he just couldn't. he removed the shirt he was wearing then put on the sweatshirt. he stuck his hands in the pockets of the sweatshirt as the weird feeling slowly left again. he knew it would come back again. but when? who knows. he walked over to his window looking up at the night sky. he wondering how Ivan and his brother were doing without him. he stood there lost in thought but soon his thoughts shifted from his brother and Ivan to his master. he was glad his heat ended days ago but he still could feel himself heat up a bit at the thought of his destined mate.

Shaking his head out the blond neko decided to go try talking with his master again. he had to at least tell him about his heat. he left his room heading over to his masters. luckily his room was only a few doors down from his him. Getting to the door he knocked then waited. when he didn't get an answer he sighed and slowly pushed the door open. he looked around the room then noticed his master was at his desk working on paperwork. he was about to say something when his master spoke without looking up from his work.

"vhat is it Matthew? I'm a little busy right now."

the blond neko sighed and rolled his eyes slightly. he hesitated moving his tail behind him so the captain couldn't see his tail was slightly puffed up. he was only afraid of disappointing his master and that was about it. he let out a small breath before walking over to his masters desk. "you're always busy lastly Gill besides we need to talk." he watched as his master didn't look up again while answering him.

"about vhat exactly?"

Rolling his eyes and twitching his tail in irritation the young neko crossed his arm looking at his master with slight annoyance. "about my heat." he dropped his arm stepping back as his master gave him a stern look

"nein ve vill not talk about zhat."

Standing his ground the blond looked back at his master in disbelief hurt that he won't talk about it with him. "But i have to tell you about who I went into heat for."

"nein!"

again with that answer. boy his master was stubborn. Swaying his tail Matthew continued. "but gill I need to tell that I went into heat for-" he couldn't finish because Gilbert slammed his fist on his table then cut him off by saying.

"NEIN! I said ve vouldn't talk about zhis. I already know about your heats und I have made up mein mind zhat you vill be sent home. I can not keep you here do to zhem."

"I don't want to go home gil! I want to stay here! I have to stay here! Please master! you don't understand!"

"vhat's done is done. now leave. zhat's an order from you master."

Feeling hurt and betrayed the neko searched his master's face for any sign that this was just to get him to leave. seeing nothing but seriousness and anger he let his ears droop and tail hang limp. he slowly nodded trying to blink back the tears. he then turned and ran out of the room quickly turning the corner to head to his room but ran into someone. he blinked falling back looking up at who he ran into. he noticed it was antonio. he stared at the hand that was held out of him.

"whoa you ran out of there pretty fast. are you alright there?"

slowly nodding Matthew took the vampires hand letting him help him up. "sorry I ran into you but I have to go. turns out I'm not staying here." he ran around him then straight to his room.

Standing there watching the neko leave the spanish vampire turned to his servant who was standing next to him. he had noticed obvious worry on his face. he chuckled and patted his head ignoring the glare he got from his servant. "aw Lovi your worry about matthew!" he then suddenly gave his servant a serious look. "go get francis and inform him about Matthew. looks like we'll have to intervene before things become bad. I'll talk with Gilbert." he watched his servant nod then take off.

Turning to the door of his friends room he sighed shaking his head before entering the room. he noticed Gilbert was at his desk with his face down against his desk. he walked over to him. "amigo. you should really listen to your servant." he heard a snort and sighed. "if you keep acting this way. you might lose him" he raised an eyebrow when his albino friend mumbled about already losing him. "I know you have issues with falling for servant's but you should listen to this one. hear what the neko has to say." he waited for an answer and when he didn't get one he patted his shoulder. "Francis will tell you the same things! maybe in a different way but still the same! it will be alright mi amigo! also you should hunt more often you have a bad temper when you don't." he patted Gilberts shoulder one last time before heading out to find his servant.

Matthew curled up on the edge of his bed burying his face into his knees. he didn't understand why Gil wouldn't hear him out. he couldn't stand the thought of being sent far away. he suddenly felt arms around him. noticing the scent he moved and buried his face into the the mans chest. "oh papa. what am I going to do? he won't listen to anyone. I don't want to leave." he felt a hand start rubbing his head then heard the calming voice of his old caretaker.

"Don't worry matthew. I 'ear Antonio talking to 'im. everything will be alright but you should try again. I will make sure the stubborn captain will listen to you this time. " Francis pulled the hurt neko away from him so he could look at him. "you 'ave to get past 'is anger and tell 'im point blank whether 'e says 'e wants to 'ear or not." he stood up holding his hand out then pulled the young servant to his feet when he took hold of his hand.

Listening to his old caregiver talk the blond neko slowly nodded taking the outstretched hand allowing himself to be pull to his feet. he took a deep breath before letting it out in a sigh. "alright papa. I'll try to talk with him again but can I know something first?" he looked over at the french vampire watching him nod before continuing. "well I have been kinda wondering about Antonio. is he the same spanish vampire from back then?" he watched the other chuckled then nod telling him that he was indeed the same vampire. he perked up. "okay! good! I can finally say thanks to him for saving me and my brother. Oh what happen to the...two...that...you know" he looked to the side hating the two that were the reasons him and his brother became orphans. hearing a sigh he looked up at his old caretaker.

"lets just say they were punished for what they did. the king back then wasn't very tolerant of rule breakers."

he nodded thinking over what he had been told. he had heard that the old king of the gold kingdom had left his duties to his younger brother a while back. the old king… he tried to remember what he was like. he remembered he use to sneak off and play with the old German king when he was young since it was close to the French kingdom he had been raised in sense the incident. he pulled out his locket looking at it. this was the last thing he was given by the king before he was given to Ivan. he remembered the day him and his brother were to leave.


(flashback)
Matthew was fixing the tie on his suit. he glanced over at his brother who was having issues. he chuckled and walked over to his brother. "here Al let me show you." he fixed his brothers tie ignoring the groan he got from him.

"mattie. I'm 13 and still have yet to figure out how to tie a tie! don't tell any one. please. I beg you. this is embarrassing!"

The younger twin chuckled at his older brothers response. "don't worry Al I won't tell anyone. besides it's not like we have to wear suits that often. I wonder what papa needs us for and why we have to wear these. it sounds very important."

The older twin twitched his ears and shrugged "dunno guess we'll find out when we get down to the throne room." he suddenly look at his younger twin with shocked and worried eyes causing his brother to look at him in confusion. "Mattie! what if somethings going on with the kingdom!? what if we have to leave!?"

Staring at his brother the younger neko sighed and patted his shoulder. "you're over exaggerating Al it's probably just a meeting that we have to go too." he smiled trying to reassure his freaked out brother though he too had an uneasy feeling like something was going to happen. he remembered having this feeling right before their mother was attacked. he bit his lip as he thought more about this. something was going to happen and hopefully his brother isn't right this time. "well let's just hope that's not the case Al" he shook out his head. "anyways lets go we have to get to the throne room" he grabbed his brothers arm pulling him out of the room.

Arriving at the throne room both neko boys stopped dead in their tracks noticing a white haired man talking with Francis. Matthew took a deep breath before walking up with his brother to their caretaker. "you called for us papa?" he watched both men turned to look at them then noticed Al moved to stand proudly and protectively in between the white haired man and himself. he smiled at the comfort he felt when Al did so. he looked at the french vampire as he spoke to them. "Matthew, Alfred. this is king Ivan. Sadly do to certain circumstances with the kingdom Alfred you will be going to live with 'im and will continue your servant training with 'im."

"WHAT!? no way! sorry Francis but I can not leave my brother! I will not! I made a promise to protect him so I must always be with him!"

the younger neko stared at his older brother in disbelief at his outburst. he was grateful but he shouldn't have spoken back like that. he look at their papa afraid of his reaction. to his surprise he just looked really tired and annoyed. Francis was about to speak when Ivan held up his hand and approached his brother. he watched Al stiffen but stood his ground glaring at the king. Matthew himself moved to hiding behind his brother. he watched as Ivan knelt down to the Alfreds level. he heard him then ask.

"now. you say you won't go without sibling?"

"yes! I understand I have to go but I will not leave without my brother."

The room was quiet for a few minutes till Ivan stood of straight and turned to Francis. "I would like to make change to our original arrangement. I will take both of them. It seems, Alfred was it? Will not move without sibling."

Francis nodded then looked at the twins. "go pack and say your goodbyes. you two will be leaving tomorrow morning. Both neko's nodded then ran to their room. MAtthew finished packing then looked at the window speaking to his brother. "I have to go see him one last time." Alfred looked up from putting away his comic books. "you mean that vampire king that's too full of himself? come on Mattie. you can do better than that beside we have assigned mates remember? there's no use falling for someone when they may not even be your mate in the future." the younger twin blushed as his ears drooped. "you don't think I know that Al? that's the exact reason why I'm not protesting to leaving. I just…. I have too see him one last time at least. I have to say goodbye." the older neko sighed but patted his back. he gave him a soft smile. "go on there. I'll cover for you as always!" younger brother perked up "really you will!? oh thank you Al. merci!" he hugged his brother before running off.

Reaching the huge vampire kingdom Matthew snuck into the back garden of the castle. he found the hidden path way into the castle slowly and quietly making his way to the kings room. arriving there he knocked on the door hopping the king was in there. it was silent for a few minute and the neko started to panic. he knocked again. silence. he was about to leave when he heard a groan from the other side. he perked up and knocked again a bit urgently. he heard a low hiss before shuffling around. he blinked as the door was suddenly swung open.

"vhat is it?"

Seeing the king made him very happy and sad so he instantly hugged him causing the king to be confused. he blinked as he was suddenly pulled into the room and the door was shut. he looked at the king confused as the other sighed then looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Matthew Vhy are you here? at this hour!? do you realise how much trouble ve'll be in if you vere found!?"

Looking down the neko rubbed the back of his head. "s-sorry. I just needed to tell you something."

the king sighed again. "couldn't it have vaited till later? geez you came all this vhy vith out zhinking again und voke me up on top of zhat. vhat if I had matters to deal vith!?" he walked over to his dresser pulling out a shirt and pant's. that's when he noticed the king had only been in his boxers. he blushed lightly but notice the king was still talking.

king got dressed as continued. " I mean come on. I know your still just a kind but you should really learn to think before you act und-"

"Sir I'm leaving!" the neko cut him off afraid he wasn't going to get a word in in time. he looked at the king noticing he had a confused and shock look on his face. "i-i'm sorry for interrupting you but I came to tell you that I will be leave with my brother tomorrow to King Ivan's." he watched the king suddenly sit down on his bed. " Scheiße. Zhat's happening so soon?" he watched the king suddenly get up and dig through his night stand. he saw him pull something out but he couldn't make it out what it was. the king walked over to him and took his hand putting something into his hand. Looking at his hand the neko noticed it was a golden locket. he looked up confused but only got one word in responce.

"open."

Looking back at the locket Matthew slowly opened it. he blinked as their was a small note. he opened up the note blinking as a small key fell from the papper. he picked out the key before looking at the paper reading the only sentence that was on the paper.

till we meet again.

Matthew looked at the king who just chuckled and said. "keep zhat und vhen ve meet again you'll know vhat zhat key if for. now you must go back." the neko closed his eyes as his hair was ruffled. he nodded looking up at the king. he studied him one last time. his white hair, red eyes and that smirk he alway wore.


Matthew blinked coming out of his day dream of the past. wait…. white hair…. red eyes…. that smirk…. full of himself attitude… he couldn't remember the kings name from back then but he knew someone now with all of those things. he couldn't be…. could he?
