Yeah…those are them, okay! On with the story!

"NOOOO!" a scream echoed throughout the different halls and rooms of a large palace. This was followed by the rapid succession of light footsteps and the banging of many doors in one particular corridor to the next. Servants that were doing their everyday chores were passed by a blur of silky violet robes and a blob of orange hair.

Calmly dodging the strange object, they proceeded to move normally as if nothing happened. There were cries of "Where are you?" or "My precious little sister!" or even something as bizarre as this, "I swear! If someone tried to take your precious innocence away, I'll rip their balls out!"

And so, this was an everyday occurrence that would surely seem strange to an innocent person's view, but nonetheless, the people in this place would surely panic if such activity was not dutifully performed by the 'speeding blob of silky robes and orange hair.' Fortunately, for the large wooden doors and extravagant furniture that were assigned to certain parts of the large palace, they were spared from utter destruction by a tall red-head eating a mountain of food in a large dining hall.

"Oi! Sister-complex, calm down, won't ya?" A scowl was evident on the red-haired man who miraculously stopped eating for the sake of knocking sense to his childhood friend. "Geez, you take the phrase 'leave no stone unturned' pretty literal, you know? But in this case, the stuff in this place are the imaginary rocks." By now, the frown turned to an amused smile.

"Taiga! Oh, thank goodness! Help me find her, PLEASE!" The blur was now in a much slower pace, unfortunately, he is making a fool of himself right in this very moment; he's running around like a headless chicken. "What if she gets hurt? What if someone kidnapped her? Or worse…"

Taiga, the man who somehow managed to look like a squirrel with stuffing food in his mouth, grunted in his friend's present situation. 'He's rambling again…uggh, that sister-complex, he's killing me here…' Deciding to help the problem of his companion, he quickly stood up to his full height and walked cautiously to the 'idiot.' How ironic… Taiga Kagami was known as 'Bakagami,' courtesy of a certain 'B-cup' Seer in the name of Rinko.

"Your sister's in the ball room with her friend, now get out, Shigehiro." He released an exasperated sigh. 'Now that it's done, time to fill in my bottomless pit called a stomach," humming softly, he reached the table once again and said one last sentence. "It's a girl, so you don't have to go into overprotective-mode again and try to shoot everyone in sight, which always fail, by the way."

"Ohhh…" The ballroom huh, I guess it is safe then. "Umm, Taiga?"

He was met by silence… 'He's ignoring me again,' He released a sigh of relief for his sister then pouted all the way out of Kagami Taiga's personal hall. He and his cute little sister have it made especially for him, seeing as Taiga's stomach's capacity for food is too great. Pivoting on his foot, he calmly walked through the direction of his room and daydreamed about his favorite sibling in the whole wide world. Which is understandable, he has only one sibling anyway.

Kuroko Tetsumi was happily sipping her Jasmine tea on the ball room's balcony when a sudden thought occurred to her. 'Was that Aniue's voice I heard a little while ago? Hmm...the wind is nice.' In mornings like this, the maiden of Teiko can always be found situated on top of a balcony drinking tea or absorbed in her thoughts. A morning person such as her, she has time to be able to find relaxation before doing her duties and lessons.

True to her name, the woman who is poised elegantly on a chair absorbing the view of the morning sun, is beautiful but also has an iron will. It is a trait simply admirable in her that makes every people in her ruling to love and respect her. Her brother, who has previously crossed her mind, is a half-blood. Unlike her, who is royalty to the bone, his older sibling was conceived even before her mother married. It was to a human. It was alright though; her hahaue loved her chichiue more. Her aniue was the product of young love that was no good after all, the father was a cheater.

Sighing in pleasure of being in a state of relax, she turned to her companion who was seated directly in front of her. "Satsuki, what should we do about Kagami-kun?" Momoi Satsuki, her best friend was a pureblood like herself. A seer she is and a very good companion.

The answer she got was pretty much a fact as Momoi Satsuki said, "Well, Kagami-kun is a well-trained scion..."

"I know that, but still, he doesn't want to go to the meeting. He's going to a very important event in my place. I want to do something for him as a thank you...I figured, I'd give him generous amounts of food for tomorrow so he can prepare himself..." The powder blue color of her hair bounced a bit after she said her thoughts. Nodding her head for a bit before being absorbed in her thoughts, she didn't notice her guest was carefully noting her current appearance with much mirth.

'Kyaah! Tetsu-chan is soo cute! How does she do her hair! It looks so elegant in that style, to think that she doesn't even have servants to do it for her. Hard-to-do braids here and there to pull up all her long and artistically curled hair...' and so, the other girl was very much absorbed in her la-la land that she didn't speak after that.

After a few moments of drinking tea and eating refreshments, Tetsumi gracefully stood up and told her friend today's schedule.

"I deeply apologise for leaving like this but I must attend now to my duties. Sensei won't be pleased if I somehow gotten myself late. I believe that she has important matters to perform after our session." The often emotionless face was set in a slight frown of regret. The pink haired companion only nodded as a sign of understanding before she also took off but not without a tight hug to the petite form of the monarch. "Bye, Tetsu-chan!"

Momoi Satsuki's light-pink colored wings, which were the exact same shade as her hair, were last shown as she quickly zoomed into the sky. Her green robes of silk were fluttering with her as she glided slowly into the air. Taking one last look of her retreating friend, Kuroko Tetsumi slowly went inside the palace to resume her daily lessons with Asakura-sensei.

As usual, her teacher's room was very neat and organized. A golden chandelier was at the center, it was not as big as the one in her room or the one in the main entry way but it was in no way lacking any style. A large desk was at the very back, near the large window which was overseeing a part of the palace's gardens. Asakura-sensei loved gardening that's why they made her room in this very location. The small but comfy sized room fit her teacher very well. It was nowhere near the size of an average room in the place but still large enough for privacy and comfort.

Seated at a plush chair near a low table was where a middle aged woman with soft brown hair pulled up in a simple bun was sipping tea. Or was it coffee? She looked up with a kind smile as she gestured her beloved student a seat in front of her. She offered some of her drinks but she kindly refused them. "I've already drank some tea before coming here, sensei." Kindly replying in a soft voice from the slender woman in front.

"Oh, well, would you like to start now?" The kind faced woman asked. 'She may look kind now but she can be a demon when she starts teaching,' came the slightly frightened thought of one called Tetsumi. She may be slightly disturbed by how a certain person's moods or facial expressions can change with how a situation changes but it most surely did not change her stoic mask of indifference. She nodded in return for the question asked.

"Excellent! Now, we will be working on with the basics again, to make sure that your memory won't be affected, alright? But I highly doubt that, my dear. Fortunately for you, you have a very sharp memory, ku ku ku." The previously kind looking, middle aged woman was now smiling in a not-so-pleasant way. Tetsumi swore that she saw black tendrils coming from her teacher's back with the added effect of black eerie smoke.

"First question!" It quickly came, not even sparing our cute little heroine a chance to organize her thoughts. "What is the highest level of authority in the upper realm?"

"It is the monarch or better known as the King or Queen regnant."

"Hmm good. What are the different duties of furies?"

"There are different classes of furies. Our race has been called as such because we were created by the Creator from his fury towards the 'downers' or humans. We were tasked to carry out the Creator's will. The Monarch, the highest level of authority, basically rules over everyone. The Seers are the ones that assist the royals and its family in ruling; like advisers and judges. The Scions are the ruling members in combat. They are the ones responsible for protecting the people and the elimination of threats to the royals and the people." She stated in monotone, without any change whatsoever. It was always in monotone, anyway.

"There are two realms in which furies live. What are those two?"

"They are called the Upper and Lower realm."

"Yes! Compare and differentiate the Upper from the Lower."

"The Lower differs from the Upper mainly at the sovereignty. They are ruled by an emperor, who then rules over kings of different kingdoms. Even though we have the same amount of grounds as them, they have divided the lands to kingdoms in which the main land is the place where the emperor resides. Their Scions are the Emperor and the ruling Kings. Nothing much differs in the abilities in both people from the two realms but instead, they are separated in means of their ancestry. Our ancestors have chosen a long time ago where they would join, the two sides aren't enemies nor are they friends, they simply follow the will of the Creator in balancing the chaos and order in the world and the separate dimensions that we reside up to this day." The soft-spoken girl uttered slowly and clearly to the woman in front of her. Shoulders back and hands on her lap, she gazed at Asakura-sensei for further questions.

"Well… that would be all for today, I have an appointment that is of utmost importance right now, I'm sure I've mentioned it a week ago …" The brown haired woman mumbled to herself while excusing her presence in front of the monarch who is also her student.

"It's alright, Asakura-sensei. I understand, I too have similar duties to perform, I remember sometime in the past where you told me that." Kuroko Tetsumi, Queen regnant of the Upper realm murmured to her now relieved teacher after her answer. She was forced to take the throne at an early age of 100 years for her chichiue, the previous King, have suffered great distress after her hahaue passed away from a wound inflicted to her by a fallen one which she tried to save and approached. She got herself killed by the weapon the man was carrying. Her chichiue followed soon, after.

At the age of one century, she had the appearance of a full grown woman, perhaps a lady of 18, in humans. Though still young, this did not affect her actions and took it upon herself to restore the kingdom's former glory and surpass it. Two centuries of her reign, she still maintained her youthful appearance due to being a pureblood. There are only a few ones remaining because of outside relationships. Her family was one of the proud ones who stayed pure.

Tetsumi sighed once more and opted to leave the study after making sure that her belongings were safely secured in her hands which is only a beautiful thin sword passed down to the heir of their family.

Ogiwara Shigehiro, half brother of Kuroko Tetsumi was currently sprawled across his large four poster bead. Groaning softly while rolling unto the covers, he quickly repeated the action before sighing tiredly. He lifted one lazy hand over his forehead before gazing at his midnight blue ceiling. 'Oh, my precious imouto, you are not going to like this…'

He shot out of bed as fast a bolt before holding his head between hands and chanted a mantra inside his head, 'Please, Taiga, don't kill me after this!'

~An hour before~

Meanwhile, in another place, in the other realm, one beautiful and young-looking man was poised in a relaxed yet elegant state on an extravagant throne. The sitting man was in the meantime, glaring at the men he dared to call his friends; none other than the two idiots, the kings of Too and Kaijo. He sighed tiredly at them, then looked at the letter in his long and elegant fingers, it has been signed with his very own signature, stamped with the golden seal of his family, and has been handwritten by HIMSELF. His glare turned into a silent smirk that promised death to the ones it was meant for.

'I'll make sure to grace them with my wonderful presence soon enough, after all, I am the one who's inviting them here, after all.' he thought to himself. 'Maybe agreeing to these two in their suggestion couldn't be such a bother. I need to rely on them every once in a while. But what I can't understand is why did he sent this two to me, instead of coming here himself… Hmm, maybe I should question Shintaro about this; it was the-fortune-teller-believer's idea in the first place.'

Charmingly, he slowly tugged the corners of his full pinkish lips at the two quivering men. It was the kind of smile that was a small step to innocence. The two shaking bachelors new better than to trust this smile, if anything, to them, it is actually only a small baby step to something terrifying that was to come.

Kise Ryota, a blond man with piercing gold eyes, not as piercing as Akashi's though, was amazed of how much that smile was better than his own. It was an amazing feat, really, he was described as a god by his fans, so how was it that without even trying, Akashi can make himself from beautifully chilling into all innocent-like, heck it was even completed by a flowery background which made all the girls swoon by the sight of it.

Aomine Daiki, was devilishly handsome, as described by many, has similar thoughts to his blond companion. His dark blue hair was a rare trait of his family. Unlike Kise thogh, he did not dwell on such thoughts any longer, for he was counting his remaining seconds alive in the lavish hall. And he was sure that beside him, the usually bubbly blond was having the same train of thoughts as he.

Quietly, they both vowed 'If we somehow survive this encounter, I swear I won't trust carrot-head/Midorimacchi fully again!'

In front of them, Akashi Seijuro was amused. His mind was in the process of thinking somewhere along the lines of 'Ku ku ku…suffer indeed.' and 'I can smell the anguish in the air.' He turned to the purple-haired man at his side, known as Murasakibara Atsushi "Right, Atsushi?" To this, the tall man only nodded, somehow, they understood each other perfectly like masterminds of death.

Haha…well, there you have it! Send reviews alright? Thanks for chapter one's reviews… I greatly appreciate it! Truly, thanks a bunch! LOL Akashi actually considers Kise and Aomine as friends *snickers*
