I want to specially thank Scriverane for spending time to explain to me in detail the mistakes I made for chapter 1.

Chapter 2 – Revealed

"What? Why are you here?" Usami exclaimed when he felt someone pull one of his wings. He looked down and saw Misaki crying. For some reason, when Usami saw Misaki's tears, the anger in him diminished.

"I can't undo the spell now. You'll just have to come with me!" Usami said as he reached out to Misaki and carried him bridal style.

"Waa!" Misaki cried when Usami carried him suddenly.

Usami chuckled softly and whispered into his ear, "Hang on tight!"

Misaki wrapped his arms around Usami's neck and shut his eyes tightly. He could hear Usami's wings flapping and felt them flying higher and higher. It was a while before they stopped.'

"How long are you going to keep your eyes closed?" Usami said teasingly as he set Misaki down.

Misaki slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a place totally different from the bright-looking castle.

Did Suzuki Kingdom have such a place?

The sky was grey even though it was still morning. Nothing grew on the land. Not even wild grass with the exception of occasional mountains and cliffs with dried. No houses or cottages in sight. It was like an exile wild land.

Misaki was still in shock when Usami cursed, "Bloody hell! We landed in the wrong place!"

Misaki turned to look at Usami. His clothes and expression had changed. He was now wearing a black robe over the black long-sleeved shirt and black leather pants which were exposed when the wind blew. He was still wearing the round, sliver earring with strange markings that Misaki saw him with before (refer to Chapter 1).

Usami's expression was even colder than when it was in Suzuki's castle. An expression of emptiness. He glared at Misaki coldly, "It's your fault I came to the wrong place!"

Misaki was still trying to piece whatever he saw together. Then he remembered that Usami clenched his hand too tightly just now, causing it to bleed. He unconsciously grabbed Usami's hands to check his wounds.

"Does it…" When Misaki saw Usami's palm, it was white and clean, with no traces of cuts or blood.

Usami pulled his hand away from Misaki and said coldly, "What do you think you are looking at?"

Misaki blushed with anger.

I was worried about you?

When he was about to argue back, he heard the sound of strong footsteps coming towards them at a great speed. Misaki immediately recognized the sound. It was the sound of horses' hooves galloping, making the ground tremble with their tremendous force. When it got closer, Misaki saw a middle-aged man in black ridding on one of the horses and another black horse followed beside him. They stopped right in front of them.

"You're late Sebastian!" Usami scowled as he reached out for the black horse's reins to pat the horse. Misaki stared at the beautiful, black creature as it stomped it hooves on the ground. The horse had a pair of blood-red eyes and chestnut-colored mane. It was equipped with a gold black saddle with strange markings like the ones on Usami's earring. It had a gold breast collar with a huge black jewel like the one Usami had on his headband. A black headstall with gold reins was equipped as well.

"I'm sorry my lord. I was not expecting you here." Sebastian apologized as he looked at Misaki. "This is…?"

"An extra baggage I was forced to carry with me and the reason you are late." Usami answered flatly.

Sebastian raised a brow, "My lord, do we leave him here?"

Don't leave me here!

Misaki's first instinct was to grab hold of Usami's wings like he did before and looked at him, biting his lower lip.

Usami looked at Misaki and said to Sebastian, "You can go back first while I have a 'chat' with this visitor of mine. And gather my subjects, I wish to speak to them when I get back."

"As you wish, my lord."

Sebastian bowed, got on the horse and rode off, leaving Misaki and Usami behind.

Misaki still refused to let go, clenching on Usami's wings. "You...You are not going to…to leave me here are you…?" he stammered.

Usami smirked, "You are not supposed to come here in the first place. So tell me, why can't I leave you here?"

Tears began to swell in Misaki's eyes and roll down his cheeks. "Because…because I was worried about you!" he sniffled as he used one of his hands to wipe his tears the other still clenching on Usami's wings.

Usami's expression softened. He said it in a soft voice, "Aren't you supposed to be more worried about yourself?

You are being brought to an unknown place and now you know your ruler is someone who casts spells and have wings. Aren't these things you should be worried about first?"

Misaki lifted his head to look at Usami, "I thought you might be sad…"

Usami laughed and said, "You're a weird one…" and planted his lips on Misaki's.

Misaki was shocked. His eyes widened and his tears stopped. His hand that was clenching Usami's wings loosened and fell to the side.

Usami lifted his head and stared into Misaki's eyes. "That will stop your crying for now." He smirked as he approached his horse. He got on the horse and reached his hand out to Misaki. "Are you coming or staying here?" he asked Misaki who stood rooted to the spot.

Misaki finally snapped out of the kiss. He reached out for Usami's hand and was carried on the horse sitting in front of Usami as he rode off..

Why did he kiss me?

Misaki touched his lips. He could still feel Usami's warm lips. Misaki's mind was blank as they rode on.

After who know how long, Misaki finally saw that they were approaching a castle.

A grey black castle was in the middle of nowhere. Misaki thought he saw crows flying above the castle but when they got closer, it was not crow that Misaki saw.

It was a beast with eagle's head, lion body and a pair of black wings. It looked like a griffin that only appeared in storybooks. They look ferocious that Misaki moved closer to Usami.

When they reached the castle door, a huge metal door crept open and inside were rows of servants lined up by the side with head heads bent down

They had wings of different kinds - small wings, bat wings and horns. Misaki took one look and knew that they were not humans.

Usami got off the horse and so did Misaki. One of the servants led the horse away.

When they stepped inside the castle, the servants chorused, "Welcome back my lord."

Usami walked past them without even sparing a look at them. Misaki followed closely behind him. Usami walked to one of the doors where Sebastian was waiting.

"Is everyone in there yet?" he asked.

"Yes, my lord." He nodded as he helped Usami took off his robe.

"Good. Bring this boy to my chamber." Usami ordered and disappeared into the room, closing the door behind him.

"This way, sir." Sebastian led Misaki through the palace, passing by a few servants here and there. Misaki slowly gotten used to the horns and wings they had. As they were walking, Misaki was pulled by the arm by a man with sharp nails that dig into his flesh, causing him to bleed. "Ow…"

"A human!" The man scowled. 'What is he doing here?"

"He's master's guest, Isaka – sama." Sebastian replied. "Would you kindly let him go?"

Isaka raised a brow, not loosening his grip, he smirked, "And where are you bringing the 'guest' to?"

"Master's chamber."

"What?" Isaka roared as Misaki struggled when he felt the grip tighten.

"Isaka! Unhand him now!" A voice thundered through the corridor. Misaki turned around and saw Usami flying at high speed towards them.

Isaka let Misaki go when Usami stopped in front of them. Usami stared at Isaka coldly as he carried Misaki bridal style. As they walked away, Usami hissed, "Next time, keep your hands to yourself."

Usami carried Misaki to his own private chamber. His chamber was dark, like the one back in Suzuki Castle. The only thing that was different was there were no toys.

Usami placed Misaki down on the bed and lifted his injured arm to examine it

"Ouch!" Misaki cried when Usami pulled his arm.

Usami mumbled softly, "Sorry…"

Misaki starred, at Usami not believing what he heard.

"Usagi – san, what did you just say?" he asked dumbly.

"Usagi?" Usami looked shocked when Misaki called him by the nickname given by his brother.

"Er…well, I heard my brother called you Usagi...It just slipped my mouth. I'm sorry your highness."

"No…It's ok…" Usami said. After which, he whispered some unknown language and Misaki's arm healed completely, leaving no blood or scars caused by Isaka.

Misaki could not believe his eyes. He took a closer at his arm and said dumbly, "It's completely healed."

"This is nothing." Usami stood up and was about to walk away Misaki tugged atUsami's wings. Usami turned and Misaki asked, "I have been wondering for a while now…Where am I? And who are you?"

Usami smirked as he spread his wings. "Welcome to my other kingdom. The place you humans call it 'hell'."
