Space Wars is going to be put on hold since school is starting tomorrow but I will update it soon for those of you who want to know :)

Chapter 5: Feelings

Misaki's POV

Walking into the throne room the first my eyes saw were those familiar green orbs I seem to love so much. My first thought is 'what is he doing here?' Then I tried to see things in a more logical term as I took in his appearance, I tried not to believe it but I can't deny what my eyes see. He is wearing it.

The ice medallion which is a symbol of Briranad, I could never mistake it for anything else because the same symbol which is the shape of a snow flake on a round coin with an orb that has the clearest blue of the ocean encrusted in its center has always been left behind at the murder scenes.

We have one too but instead of a snow flake we have a sun symbol with a blood red orb and of course it's around my neck right now.

The very trinket that beckons me to see bloody red which I am pretty sure is making me look deadly at the moment since I see some people in the room have taken a step back from the dark aura which some people like to call my demon aura well …. The men do.

I noticed that Takumi didn't even flinch he looked the just the same as the night we met, I smiled to myself when I saw him gulp which means I am getting somewhere.

HA! He can't keep his stoic expression forever but there is something that almost stopped me in my tracks it's the way he is staring at me like I am the only girl in his world his eyes raked over my figure and I immediately felt self-conscious, I shook my head to rid myself of such thoughts and fully directed my glare upon him.

If he knew my inner battle I am having with myself right now I would be so embarrassed and some would classify me as a bipolar but I managed to keep my straight face still full of glare and well lets just say you don't want to mess with me right now.

I willed myself to calm down. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath in and let it out, my fists clenching and unclenching.

I tore my eyes away from him but I knew that on the outside it looked almost to be in a sarcastic way not really how you would treat a royal from another kingdom but it didn't seem to effect him except now his eyes were telling me something trying to tell me that he understands which I know is a far cry from the truth.

What would he know about me?

I try to remind myself that this isn't me I am not stupid I know that since the incident something has been trying to control my emotions lately and that something is probably the real culprit behind the unexplained murders but I can't help myself for my tongue always slips. I just don't want others around me to worry not tonight anyway I can't afford things to go bad tonight.

As I made my way to the throne I didn't raise my gaze to look into his eyes, why you ask? Don't you like him you ask? Well he has definitely managed to engrave a special place in my heart without me even knowing it but there is one simple reason for my spite.

He lied to me.

His name isn't Takumi Usui. If he is the kings' younger brother then his last name should be 'Walker' not Usui … ok I hid who I was too but that was because I didn't want to attract attention and besides saying my name is Misa isn't actually a lie.

I am not even sure if what he did that night was all an act to him he could have been playing with my feelings. I don't know if I can trust him at this point.

Then were his actions a lie? Was that kiss a lie too?

There is one thing I have to do now well …. besides making him swear not to cause my kingdom any trouble tonight of course, I need to know the truth.

Then again why would he care? As far as I see things my feelings are all one-sided. At that thought it suddenly became harder to breathe and tears threatened for only a split second before I hid my emotions again.

I sat down on the Queen's throne and only now I raised my chin defiantly, spine straight, confidence like a queen is what mother always used to. I gave him my sweat sarcastic smile challenging him. Well BRING IT ON TAKUMI.

Takumi's POV

I gulped when she glared at me not because I was scared of her because it made her look all the more sexy and it didn't help when she smiled either, it's amazing how just her little gestures makes my heart beat faster and faster then I felt the familiar warmth I felt like the first night we met it's like she was melting my ice even though it was meant to be sarcastic to me it was just plain cute.

That feeling left as fast as it came as I saw her eyes they were cold, hurt, and tormented. I lowered my gaze to the ground. I felt the familiar itch in my hands to draw my sword, I want to kill that person who makes her feel like this who caused her this much pain if I ever catch the one who is responsible for this he won't be getting a quick death no he doesn't deserve such a privilege his death will be slow and painful he won't find an ounce of mercy from me and definitely not from her.

I looked up again to meet her gaze and I could tell that my eyes softened as I looked into her gold ones but I could sense her inner turmoil her emotions going wild but she still stood straight ready to defy me and show me my place but I knew that she wouldn't trust me now I was expecting it when I first learned of her being the queen all I can do now is slowly but surely get her to trust me I shall court her and slowly mend her broken heart I know even if she isn't showing it now that behind that thick upfront she pulls off that inside she is frail and could break at any moment.

I was snapped out of my trance when Cedric gently nudged me in my arm. I bowed towards Misaki showing her my respect and submission since I am in her domain I have no right to show any hostility I stood up again and spoke.

"Your highness I am the second prince of Briranad, Prince Takumi Walker, my brother sends you his regards and deepest apologies for not being able to attend your coronation" I said smoothly.

"it is fine as long as there is a suitable representative" misaki said. "but there is more important matters to be discussed at this moment" her voice and expression softened but I can tell she still has this 'try anything funny and I will kill you' look itched on her face.

"of course princess there is much to be discussed but I wish to speak with you alone regarding other matters as well" I said. I need to speak with her not just about the peace arrangements but about us. She seemed to get my hinting since her eyes widened.

"WHAT!? We most certainly cannot allow that to happen!" Tybalt shouted. He drew his sword and attempted to point it towards me but Cedric stood between us with his own sword clashing with Tybalts.

"If you harm master Takumi I won't hesitate to kill you" Cedric said in a low voice but he was in work mode.

"ENOUGH!"

All heads turned towards Misaki.

"Tybalt control your anger and sheath your sword you dare point your sword at a royal"

"but your highness"

"NO BUTS, SHEATH YOUR SWORD …. NOW!" Misaki said and Tybalt flinched at her voice because of how much power was behind it and he slowly and reluctantly stepped back and sheathed his sword.

"Cedric" I said. And as if reading my mind Cedric did the same and sheathed his sword too.

I looked at Tybalt and he looked at me with so much hate I could tell he never really liked me much since we met he seemed to have no problem in expressing his hate to me.

I faced Misaki, she seemed to be in deep thought then she studied me and I almost thought she was going to reprimand me but her reply made the sides on my mouth twitch upwards in a almost smile.

"Alright Takumi we will talk alone, follow me" She gave me a small smile then she motioned me to follow her out and as we walked out I didn't miss the satisfaction of Tybalt's teeth clenched and his fists tight.

Gerard's POV

*cough* *cough* my body shook as I vomited blood into a bucket next to my bed that's been my companion for at least a week and my hair was plastered on my face with all the sweat that layered my body from all the coughing.

If I said that I was feeling better since then I would be lying I hate to think this but I think my time is coming much sooner than what I predicted it to. I felt Ice cold but extremely hot at the same time.

I tried to relax and sink back into my bed but that only helped to comfort me a little bit. Before the coughing started again.

"Your highness" a maid with a woman that I instantly recognized as my private healer, Grace walked in and bowed. Grace was an old women in her late 50's and always carried a motherly aura around her, I liked it because it put me at ease in some sense.

"Rise" I managed to breath out still panting hard. The next thing I know is that the maid walked out but not before leaving my medicine on a plate next to my bedside and Grace was beside my bed with a very sad encouraging smile on her face well at least that was better than the pitying looks the servants sent me to tell you the truth I am pretty sick of it already I don't need pity I am a king I hate the word.

"hang in there" she said. Then she placed both her palms over my chest and closed her eyes in concentration. There was a light glow escaping from underneath her hands but it disappeared just as quick as it came.

When she was done I sighed in relief, my body still hurt but not as much as before.

"Have you any luck?" I asked her. I had her with another group of the most experienced doctors search for a cure for me.

"I am sorry your majesty we haven't been able to find anything yet, your sickness is a very rare thing to happen all we can do now is try to numb the pain using magic as much as we can" She looked as frustrated with this almost as much as I was. I let out a deep sigh.

'well there is only one thing left to do then' I thought, I never thought that I would have to do this so early in my life I am only 25 and still young after all but I hope that Takumi is successful in joining the Two kingdoms together.

I haven't told him about the prophesy yet though I wish I did it would have made things easier for him and he might regain some of his lost memories but the thing is I don't know how he will take it.

"get me the court scribe I must make my declaration"
