I finished writing Amu and the pea! There are . . . . . more chapters! I don't feel I should tell you yet! : P But this isn't the last one.
Here's Chapter 12 – The Escape Artist
Amu eyes widened. Then Midori & Amu had another conversation of the eyes.
"You really think he would do something like that, would you?" Amu asked
"No, we'll have to visit the castle for breakfast tomorrow and talk." Midori said as they hugged each other good night.
The Next Day (Wedding Day)
Midori and Amu went to the castle. Tsumugu had to leave for some business at their kingdom. Midori and Amu entered the dining hall to see Souko, Aruto, Utau, Rima, Hisae, and Ikuto already seated. Amu sat across from Ikuto and in between Midori and Hisae. Ikuto was in between Rima and Utau with Aruto and Souko at the head of the table.
"We have some bad news." Midori said frowning at Amu.
"Well, we have very good news." Souko said smiling at Ikuto who was looking at Amu with worry.
"I think my mother should go first, if you don't mind." Amu stressed the importance of their news. Souko frowned and looked Aruto.
"Hisoka was to wed Amu when she was in center city, just after she was found by Utau and Rima." Midori explained with Hisae filling in the blanks.
"WHAT!" Ikuto, Rima and Utau shouted, and then turned towards Amu looking for explanations.
She nodded and looked at her plate, she knew there would be more talking then eating.
"It was to officially ally those two kingdoms." Amu whispered. "The one I was living in at the time you found me and the one Hisoka is from."
"The guard from yesterday, Ikuto, that was him." Midori informed him.
"Amu never issued the protection of a guard." Midori clarified.
"We invited him to Ikuto's wedding," Aruto added. "He was to marry Utau after."
"What!" Utau screamed in disbelief.
"Yes, it was to ally OUR kingdoms." Aruto explained while Utau fumed.
There was a loud slam on the table. Everyone turned toward the sound and Rima. Who had slammed a book on to the table.
"This has his plan in it." Rima said sliding across the table towards Aruto.
"How did you get a hold of that?" Hisae asked.
"It was the only expensive looking thing in that run down shack he called a store. It looked suspicious, so I took it." Rima explained herself in a way that made no one question her.
" I plan to marry all the princesses and be king of the world. I plan to go through the plan father created but was never able to complete." Aruto read in disgust.
"Guards!" Aruto called. Four big men came through the doors. "Go get by the name of Hisoka-" Aruto was interrupted by Midori. "By the order of the Supreme Dumpty Kingdom!" Midori told them with authority. They nodded their head wildly and raced off after getting Amu to describe him.
Everyone was quietly eating when Midori remembered something.
"So what was your good news, Souko?" Midori asked.
"Ikuto you can tell them" Souko smiled. Ikuto stood up and walked nervously over to Amu and got down on one knee. Amu was giddy with excitement.
"Um, would you, Amu Hinamori, like to marry me?" Ikuto asked looking away from Amu. Amu turned his head toward her and nodded not trusting her voice. Ikuto smiled and slipped a ring on to her ring finger. It was a gold band with a diamond in the middle and had two pink gems surrounding it on either side. Amu and Ikuto hugged.
"Oh . . ." Utau said slowly getting quieter at the end of her word.
"What?" Ikuto asked still holding Amu.
"When I heard mom say your wedding wasn't cancelled. This is what she meant." Utau said.
"What?" Amu was shocked. "I'm getting married tonight! I don't even have a dress."
"Excuse me!" Hisae said.
"Oh right! Your closet." Amu clued in. she untangled herself from Ikuto and followed Utau, Rima and Hisae out of the room.
Shortly after they left, the doors flew open revealing the group of four from before but this time they had someone else with them. They threw the man on the ground. Ikuto and Aruto got up and walked over. Ikuto pushed his heel into the man's back only to receive a grunt. Now, Souko and Midori had joined them. They looked at a black haired prince. Aruto pulled Hisoka's head up by his hair. Hisoka cringed.
"You can't arrest me!" He yelled as best he could. "I'm the prince!" He continued to yell.
" My father-" He was cut off.
"Your Father has been arrested for attempted treason against the supreme Kingdoms, Dumpty and Humpty." Midori boomed.
"My cousin ha temporarily taken over that disgraceful place YOU call a kingdom." Midori informed, and continued on. " I. As Queen of Dumpty Kingdom and MOTHER of Amu Hinamori, arrest you for an attempt to take over our kingdoms." Midori finalized, and waved them to take him away.
"The supreme royal court will decide what to do with you and your father." Midori spoke as left without another word, circled by guards.
Midori sighed and slouched into a nearby chair. Souko laughed, "Time to find dresses."
Midori nodded and heaved herself out of the chair.
Ikuto and Aruto reminded themselves never to get Midori angry and headed off to their tux fittings.
Amu was trying different dresses on as Utau and Rima threw them at her. Hisae was looking for brides-maid dresses. Soon Souko and Midori joined her.
Amu was on her tenth dress when there was a commotion outside the door. Hisae showed Souko to a door that would look like a door when it was opened instead of a piece of wall.
"Get Him!" A deep voice shouted through the hall. Footsteps and voices echoed through the room as the door opened. Souko saw Hisoka run passed her down the hallway. She closed the door. When she turned she something was different.
"Where's Amu?" Souko asked.
"What?" Utau and Rima looked everywhere and then heard the voices suddenly quieted down and then there was a scream.
Everyone race out of the room when they got to the scene they were relieved, but still terribly confused with the situation.
Amu was on the ground with a bloody hand holding her wrist. Behind them was Ikuto huffing from running all the way to the scene. A now dead guard was on the ground.
"What happened Amu?" Ikuto rushed over to her. Her dress was covered in blood.
"I-It's bad luck . . . t-to see the bride . . . b-before the wedding." Amu smiled a shaky smile.
Ikuto shook his head, "I don't care, what happened?"
"I was . . . trying to talk to Hisoka, but then he threw something and this guard pulled me behind . . . behind him." Amu spoke lightning fast. Ikuto pulled her into a hug and she started to cry.
"Don't just stand there, find him!" Ikuto ordered from the ground. Amu gripped his tux jacket.
Ikuto stood up, pulling Amu up with him, and looked at her.
Okay so there is chapter 12!
