Narator: Riku the Seeker of Darkness
Backstage
Riku: Hello! Sorry for not updating for so long, My new beta and I have been very busy with my new my newest stories. I'm sure that my beta will be worked deep down to the bones. Mwahahahahaha! *sadistic and evil laugh*
Ice: I told you, Riku-san... I'm also busy with school stuff, you're so cruel *wails*
Ryoma: Che! Just when we thought that you already died and went to hell!
Ice: Who? Me? *points to self*
Marui: That's that really happened, Echizen and I won't have to suffer from embarrassment and humiliation anymore.
Ice: You can't mean me right? Why are you guys ignoring me?!
Riku: Well, shame on you then! I am healthy and fit for writing more script for the drama!
Marui& Ryoma: curse you!
Riku: Ice-chan disclaimer, please

Previous Chapter:
"Gomen-ne Ryoma-kun..." said both the eels as their masters appeared.
-o0o-
The princesses glared at the octopus brothers who were banished by their father, Sanada fukubou-king for disturbing the peace of Atlantis with noise pollution (from their ugly voices) and scary experiments (that polluted the seawater)
"My,my! What do we have here? Two poor, broken hearts and sad little princesses. Ii data." Said the elder brother that named Inui Sadaharu.
"What the fuck is so "ii" with happenings of a scripted play? It's not even data." Jin Akutsu's voice can be heard ranting from the front row of the audience which made Inui drop a cold sweat.
Then a slogan saying "SHUT THE FUCK UP" appeared from beside the stage, held by a slender, pale hand that belong to none other than, the fairy-bouchou of Rikkai.
Horio faked a cough for transition.
"Yes. And with my four years of experience as a witch, I will help you with your problems" said the annoying younger brother, Horio.
"I thought he can only last two years in everything?" the beta said from the backstage.
"Ice-chan! Sssssh!" the author signaled her beta to shut up while the fairy-bouchou is starting to come near the beta, bringing his shut-the-fuck-up slogan.
"No need for that, Yukimura-san."
Ryoma, who got his annoyance doubled by the second ad lib so far, and he hasn't said anything long yet, faked a cough for transition.
"Hey! that's my style!" Horio inserted for the last minute.
Marui rolled his eyes in Ryoma's behalf. He can't let Ryoma handle all the stress, "We're all in this together, Ryoma."
Ryoma let out a frustrated sigh. He's wondering if Marui ever realized that he just added a sentence to make the ad lib longer.
"Yeah, AS IF you can help us! We would most likely die from your poisoned 'drinks' rather than being helped out of our problems" said Ryoma who's slowly backing away from Inui but sadly he can't go so far with the eels circling both him and his elder twin.
"That's was mean, Echizen. My juices are 100% healthy and good for your health"
"Just who's health on earth is he talking about?!" Everyone, including Tezuka. Yes, INCLUDING TEZUKA, exclaimed.
"Like hell. And even I once used your Aozu juice to murder the author of this fanfic! I won't and I never willing to drink your juices!" said the now agitated Ryoma while Marui just let his genius self be confused as to why Ryoma, the prince of tennis, is so afraid of Inui's juice.
"Not to mention, in this story is the is witch is supposed to use magic and not juices!" said the nervous Ryoma as he spotted the 'Inui's grin of doom'
Riku: *EHEM* Sorry for cutting this scene off, everyone. Right now, both Ryoma and Marui are brought to nearest school or under water kingdom's clinic for they have fainted from the sight of 'Inui's grin of doom' Sorry again.
Niou: Puri!
Yukimura then showed Niou the SHUT THE FUCK UP slogan.
Niou: I'm not getting any lines for a while now!
The fairy-bouchou smiled gently.
Niou: I am so doomed.
-o0o-
Meanwhile at the shore, the human princes are having a very nice day as they play with their ever loyal cat, Karupin (to which Tezuka had befriended during the play). Suddenly, Karupin ran near the sea which made the two human princes panic, they don't want to feel the wrath of Ryoma for having his beloved pet cat wet.
When they finally managed to catch up to Karupin, they saw two bodies that looked more like corpses with bubbling foam coming out of their mouth.
Ryoga got surprised and concerned for his younger brother while Tezuka felt sorry for his kouhai and Marui. Tezuka even though of setting limitations to the making of Inui juice when they get back to school.
Ryoga and Karupin nudged and poked the Ryoma corpse, Ryoma the suddenly wake up vampire style with terrible bags under his eyes, while Marui wake up with the same with vampire style but with pale face. While both the twins are groaning they suddenly realized that they can't use their voice. In panic they tried to do an eye conversation with each other:
"What happened!? I can't use my voice!" -Marui
"Must be Inui-senpai's newest juice. Side effect.'-Ryoma
'Is this what you have to go through at Seigaku?!" -Marui '
"Yeah. But this is nothing. If you'll join Seigaku, you'll have to drink something like this at least everyday,' -Ryoma
"Join Rikkaidai then! Unlike Sadaharu, Renji can make everything delicious and not poisoned!" -Marui
"Lucky you, why didn't Renji-san join Seigaku instead?" -Ryoma
"When will this side effect wear off?" -Marui
"'That... I don't know" -Ryoma
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" -Marui
-end the eye conversation.
"What the fuck, why aren't you bastards not speaking?!" Akutsu complained from his seat. Again
Yukimura went out of his way to way to wave the SHUT THE FUCK UP slogan while Dan Taichi is trying to calm Akutsu down by telling him that this is the part when the two mermaid princes lost their voices.
Ryoga and Tezuka assisted Ryoma and Marui to the castle. The two ex-mermaid princes had a hard time walking with their wobbly legs from the poison's effect. A worried Karupin placed himself in his original master's hands and let himself be petted like a stuffed animal.
The twins were taken to their room to dress up, escorted by maids while Ryoga and Tezuka, and Nanjiroh waited for them to come down. When they did, the three men felt as if they saw angels come down from heaven.
Ryoma styled his hair in his usual style but more in neat side and wore a light blue seashell hairclip to keep his bangs from falling down. He also wore a simple dark blue and mint green ball room dress with a simple dark blue flat shoes with green ribbon and a black pearl earrings and necklace.
Marui wore a pink dress with some soft yellow lining and a yellow seashell hair clip that also kept his bangs in place, and sported a white seashell necklace and white teardrop earrings.
Ice: Wait! Since when did Marui-kun had earing holes?
Yukimura then raised his you-know-what's-written-there slogan.
While having dinner, Ryoma noticed that the crab being served on Najiroh's plate is the fukubou-king's advisor, Oishi. Oishi crab-walked for his life to Ryoma's plate to hide from being eaten. After dinner, the four princes "talked" to each other. Ryoga and Tezuka speaking while Ryoma and Marui writing on sheets of paper. The twins were asked about what they remember before they became unconscious.
"What a paaaaaain..." Ryoga groaned. Marui's handwriting is giving him the headache of his life. "Marui-kun, you better stop playing tennis and learn how to write legibly."
"Well, excuse me! Geniuses tend to have messy handwriting because their brains are working too fast that their hands cannot cope up!" Marui scribbled on his piece of paper. It could have been a long issue if Ryoga was able to decipher Marui's handwriting but luckily for the rest of the world, he didn't.
Feeling pity for the twins, the princes promised the twins to search for the missing witches. Oishi suspected that after Inui realized what he has done to Ryoma and Marui, he is now in hiding. Hiding from the enraged Sanada fukubou-king, Yukimura and Fuji who just started their search while Renji is searching for a way to cure the twins.
-o0o-
As weeks went by, the twins and the princes became closer to each other, with the help of Oishi, they almost kissed but somehow their boats mysteriously made them splash into the water. While underwater, the rest of citizens and the second prince and the rest of siblings were shivering in the corner of the second prince's room, hiding from the enraged the 1st and 3rd princes and their enraged father as they still haven't found Inui yet.
Finally, on the 3rd week of the promise (the twins swore they did not make any promise) has come, both Oishi and Kirihara felt nothing but worry as they watched the crying twins (with the help of eyedrops) being left by their princes to marry some unknown women who appeared one day and claimed that they are the ones who saved them when the princes almost drowned at the sea few months ago. Suddenly a weird seagull yelled as he flew toward the twins.
"Koshimae!" he yelled as he landed at a pillar, actually, bumped into the pillar which made Oishi, Kirihara, Bunta and Ryoma flinch at the loud sound that the bump made. "Koshimae! That yucky juice person and that screeching monster, I finally found them!" said Kintaro which earned a surprise look from the twins, a crab and a fish.
N/A: Looong time no update! I know all of you are angry at me, but I will say sorry again. Somehow these past days, I don't have any motivation to write. So sorry again and I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Riku: Yo! Minna-san, Ice-chan
Ice: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. (is sleeping because she's been lacking sleep for a lng time now)
Ryoga: Yo! Riku-chan, Pretty as always!
Riku: Stop that! I hope you wouldn't become like your oyaji!
Ryoga: OF COURSE NOT! You wounded me, you know?
Tezuka: *giving Ryoga a very doubtful glance* don't let your guard down, Riku-san. *pats Riku's shoulders*
Ryoga: What was that huh?! Are you doubting me too, stoic captain? *wails* Ice-chaaaaaan!
Ice: *wakes up* I... *yawns* heard my name. Did someone call me?
Ryoga: Ice-chaaaaan! Stoic bouchou and Riku-chan are doubting me!
Ice: *loading...* Wa- waaaaaah!? How- how- how long was I asleep?! R-ryoma-kun!? Is that you!? You've grown sure lot!
Ryoma: *fakes cough for attention* I'm here. That's Ryoga you're talking to.
Ice: Eh... So the shorty never grew after all.
Riku: Well, anyway please give me many reviews. If you'll do, you will get cookies from Oishi, Syuu-kun or maybe even from Renji…don't worry I will make sure that Inui's creations will stay away from them.
Ice: Cactus-flavored cookies from Fuji-kun!
