Chapter Three Its A New Day
"What do you mean Fuuma's missing?! I thought I told you to watch him!" Ropes of black aura gripped Kyle. "I told you to watch him! Now go gather up the other soldiers and search the ENTIRE PALACE, NOW!" Subaru quivered in the corner as Kyle was all but flung out of the bed room.
The bedroom door slammed shut afterwards, Subaru noticed a half black circle that glowed on the prince's right hand, it was identical to the one on Subaru's own right hand, except his was white.
"Let's go." Subaru yelped at being addressed.
"Me, Your Highness?"
"There isn't anyone else in here now is there? So let's go, I said I was getting you fitted in a gown and crown." Subaru blushed, it seems the prince was serious about that.
About an hour later Subaru stood in a long black gown and a silver tiara onto of his head. "Black does become you, my dear." Subaru's face turned red.
"T-thank you." As they walked down the palace halls Subaru dared a conversation. "Um...Prince Seishirou?"
"What is it, Princess Subaru?"
Subaru flushed. "I think...I think you may have emotions, locked inside of you."
"Why do you think that?"
"Well, when you found out about your brother missing, you got angry and upset. Meaning you're worried about your brother."
"Really then, I wonder..."
The pair of them got separated at some point, leaving Subaru to wander the Palace of Darkness alone. "You, how'd you get out of the dungeon?"
Green eyes widened in shock as a white barrier field encased him. "What on earth do you think you're doing to the princess?"
"Your highness! I didn't realize this citizen of light belonged to you, please forgive my intrusion."
"Any word on my brother's location?"
"Still looking sir, we've decided to look around the palace walls and throughout the kingdom."
"Very good, off with you." He then turned to the white box that enclosed Subaru.
What was it with this kid? Why does he affect me so much? Normally I would've killed that guard for touching what was mine, do I not want him to see the darker side of me? He was scared when I lashed out on Kyle, did I not want him to know fear again? I'm getting soft, this is ridiculous, I am the Prince of the Dark Kingdom, there's no way I can know such silly things as emotions.
"It would seem you have some powers of your own, Subaru."The barrier field faltered and Subaru stood up.
"I do, I'm a healer in the City of Light."
"I think I need to make sure you don't stray away again, just lucky I found you when I did. Give me your left hand." Subaru held out his left hand as Seishirou lifted his right index finger and traced the mark of the Kingdom of Darkness onto boy's hand.
"Now, I'll always be able to find you, Subaru." Subaru felt dizzy and passed out in the young prince's arms. "I'm surprised you managed to stay conscious throughout the bulk of the spell, you really are special aren't you, Subaru?"
