Sorry for letting you all wait for so long. I was quit busy with other stuff :3

We crossed the dessert with a quick pace. My brother didn't cheer up, he was scolding out loud ever since our meeting with the criminals.
Minichi had been stuck under my clothes, he couldn't take the warmth.

"We won't stop until we get there." My brother grunted. He grasped a bottle with water from his side and pushed it in my hands. "Drink it!"

My brother took out another bottle and took a large sip of water. His for head was covered in sweat and he looked exhausted.
I was exhausted as well, but after i saw what my brother was capable of back there, i didn't dare to ask him anything right now.

I opened the bottle and drank some of the water, it was refreshing and i could feel my body cool down. Then i poured some of the water in my hand and gave it to Minichi.

After two hours straight of walking through the damned dessert, we finally arrived at the place where my brother said that the gate to the demon realm was.
We were here before, but got attacked by some guys of a criminal organization.

There was a big pyramid in the middle of the dessert. I looked around as my brother stood still in front of the big pyramid.
"Wait here." He told me and he began mumbling words in a language i didn't understand. He closed his eyes and his body started glowing a black color.

I could sense dark intentions in his chakra, but i shrugged it off. He was my brother for god sakes, i should trust him.

After a few minutes of waiting, i started to get bored. So i sat down close to the pyramid and pulled out Minichi.
Minichi's eyes widened when he saw the pyramid. He shrieked and crawled back under my clothes. "Don't be scared of a pyramid. It's not alive. You Silly Panda!"
He poked his head out of my top with his ears flat.

Suddenly the whole pyramid started shaking causing me grip a nearby palm tree for support.
I shut my eyes tightly and waited for the shaking to stop. Luckily it did and when i open end my eyes i saw a huge gaping hole in the pyramid.

My brother had stopped with whatever he was doing and stood there smirking at me with his hands crossed.
I giggled nervously and let go of the tree.

The hole was glowing the same black color as my brother not to long ago. I eyed it suspiciously.
But before i could study it more, my brother dragged me through it.
There was complete darkness, i couldn't even see my own hands.

"Brother?" I whispered.

It reminded me of when i had conversations with my darker self before we melted together. I kinda missed the conversations that we had.

"Brother?!" I tried again, but this time a bit louder.
My voice echoed through the darkness and i suddenly felt alone. I missed my friends, i missed the funny times we had. The tears started falling down my face unto the ground.

Suddenly the floor turned white on the spot where my tear fell and i could feel my body sink.
I didn't panic. I already experienced something similar to this. So i closed my eyes and waited for whatever was going to come.

When i didn't feel anything, i opened my eyes to find myself standing in a big hall with thousands of people. At least they looked like people. They were all sitting at huge tables with lots of food on it.

They all started clapping and cheering, the loud noise hurting my sensitive ears.
I looked to the side to see my brother standing next to me, his face not showing the anger he felt before.

"Princes! Welcome back to your homeland!" I heard some people shout and i raised my eyebrow at my brother as if saying: "Explain please?"

He understood the hint and chuckled at my confused face. "It will all be explained soon, don't worry."

The hall was huge and it was lit by thousand candles and little lights. It looked beautiful. There were allot of stairs that went down, this place must be gigantic!

A older man with golden hat on came walking towards me. He eyed me up and down and gave me a smile. His teeth were yellow and he reeked like rotten flesh. "Welcome back, Princess. We have waited long for you arrival." He gave me a nod and turned to my brother. "I'm glad you returned safely from your journey, my king."

I gaped at this, my eyes nearly popping out. My brother a king? Didn't see that coming.

My brother ruffled my hair and told me to come with him. I obeyed and followed him through the people to the front of the hall. There were two thrones settled on a large stage. My brother sat down in one of them and he gestured me to sit in the other.

It felt weird to look down on so many people. Many of them had a head of a animal or weird eyes, they reminded me of monsters. But yet i'm one of them, i still couldn't believe it.

The old man from before stumbled on stage and faced the people.
Everyone focused their attention on the man standing there. He must be someone important.

"Welcome, civilians of the Demon Realm. We came together today to celebrate the return of both the King and the Princess. And here they are!" He raised his arms. "Hail King Mafuyu!" He shouted.
the crowd repeated and started cheering again.

I looked at my brother who was looking quit comfortable in his big throne. When he felt me looking at him, he smiled. "Not used to so many attention?" I shook my head.

"You could have told me." I eyed the crowd nervously. "That you were a king and i a princes."
He bursted out laughing causing everyone to look at us. I felt my face heating up and narrowed my eyes at my brother.
"But that would have ruined the fun, wouldn't it." He said before he stood up and walked to the front of the stage.

"Let the feast begin!" He said and everyone started eating like the wild beasts they were.

The old man that was holding a speech earlier sat down on a wooden chair next to my brother and started whispering things in his ear. I sighed, he must be a busy man.

I almost jumped out of my skin when suddenly a small table was put before me by a guy with horns on his head. He smiled and put a plate of delicious food on top of it. "Here you are Princess. You must be hungry from such a long journey."

I looked at the food and i could already feel my mouth watering. "Thank you so much." I said.
I gave some of it at Minichi and then started to eat. It tasted delicious, though it wasn't something i've ever eaten before.
Minichi seemed to like the food as well and he purred loudly.
Music was playing in the background adding more to the atmosphere.

"I guess we could get used to this, right Minichi?" I smiled, Minichi nodded viciously.
