‘’Welcome to the year 5,738 a.d, the whole world as you knew reverse back to the stone age.’’  He explains while grabbing your hand that was on his arm, helping you stand up. You gaze at Senku to see that he was wearing a leaf skirt around his waist. You quickly turn your head away; then you glace down at yourself and squeak. You try to cover yourself the best you can with your arms. Senku covers his ears with his hands, when you squeak.

‘’ Susu, don’t look at me, I am naked.’’

‘’ It’s the stone age; nobody cares if your dick hanging out.’’

He sighs. ‘’ That’s not what I mean.’’

‘’ Plus, I already saw everything before the purification.’’

Your face becomes hot. Yes he did see you naked before that, only because you were spending the night at his house. You were about to take a bath when you forgot towel in his room, so you decide you can just run to his room get it and run back.

Plus, his dad was gone and he was downstairs too. Right as you open the door, you see Senku hand stop in the air with his eyes wide. You hurry and snatch that towel out another arm. Even since then, he has been on your head about it. Always reminding you about it.

Your sigh and shake your hand.

‘’ Can we please forget about that?’’ You have beg/plea.

Senku snicker at you’re displease aura.

‘’ So anyway, do you have something I can wear?’’ You ask him as your arms are still around you.

He then went and picked up some animal fur that was right next to your broken stone. He walks over to you and hands them to you. You take it and out it on. It was a brown dress that covered my leg and fur was around the dress of the dress. While you were getting dressed, Senku was moving the stone out the way and put a cray pot right where you lay.

‘’ Finish-.’’  You did a spin ‘’ how do I look?’’

Without him turning around, he said you look the same, but he was still examining the stone and bat poop. You went over to him and gazed over his shoulder.

‘’ So are you going to tell me what’s going on or….’’

He snaps out of it and starts walking out of the cave, but without double checking the cray pot. You follow behind him. When you guys come out of the cave, you see all the trees and wild animals. Your mouth opens out in awe.

‘’ Look at all the trees and plants.’’ You said excitedly.

You run up to the flower and sniff it. Senku stares at you with a smirk on his face. He stanches and continues walking.

‘’ We need to hurry and get back to base, before it gets dark.’’

When he made sure you were following behind him. He started to explain what was going on and how he got out of the stone, how he found you. When you two made it, He was done explaining about everyone. You till your head to the side in though. He looks at you with his arms crossed.

‘’ That’s understandable then, so that means we are the last two people alive. This is my first time being Eve kind of nerves.’’

He rolled his eyes and judged you.

‘’ Don’t look at me like that. Anyway, what are you going to do now?’’

He chackles.

‘’ Easy I am going to rebuild society from the ground up.’’

You stare at him blankly. He moves to the side of you and pokes your cheek.

‘’ Hello, did you die on me?’’  He questioned as he continues poking your cheek.

‘’ HUUUUUH.’’

‘’ Theres she goes.’’

Then you wave your arms as your mood turns sour.

‘’Did you say rebuilding society?’’  You questioned, making sure you heard him right.

‘’Yes.’’

‘’NOOO. I am Not cut out for that for that. Like I have no talent for that.’’

He put his hand on your shoulder.

‘’ Trust me you’re the right person for this job.’’

Then he pats your shoulder and walks off. You stare at him like he grows two heads.

‘’ Now that is done, I need help with-‘’

.

.

That was a few days ago, you have been helping Senku with collecting berries, woods and  leafs, and building stuff, and of course listening to him talk about science stuff. You guys even found Taiju in the process. One day while you were making a cray pot you look up at the sky and sniff the air.

‘’Susu it seems like it’s going to rain.’’

Senku gazes at you from across where you are sitting, then looks up at the sky to see that the clouds were covering the sun and blue sky.

‘ Her and her crazy nose.’ He thought as he covered their work with a leaf blanket.

As it started to rain. It was coming down like cats and dogs. By the time you guys got to the tree house you were water head to toe. You shivering as he closes the vines door.

‘’Its looks like it going to rain all day.’’

‘’ Dang and we were having good time too.’’

You sneeze.

‘’ So cold.’’ You said more to yourself.

Senku took off his animal clothes off, your faces heated up and covered your eyes.

‘’ HEY, what are you doing?’’

‘’ Strip.’’

‘’WHAT.’’ You yell, backing up a little bit. Your mind racing with millions of things.

‘’Strip, we can’t afford to get sick.’’

‘’ Oh.’’

He shakes his head and looks at you disappointed.

‘’ Get your mind out of the gutter.’’

When you strip out of your clothes, you hang Senku and your clothes on a rack you made for fun. He wraps an animal blanket around you, and you guys sit next to each other to keep each other warm.

You guys sat in silence for a minute enjoying each other’s presence. You felt something heavy on your shoulders; you looked over to see gray and green hair filling your vision. You grab his hand and rub his fingers.  

You shiver a little more, so he scoots closer to you and moves the animal blanket more on your shoulders.

‘’ I never knew you can be a romantic guy.’’

He rolls his eyes and smacks his lips.

‘’ Don’t start, you know having that emotion is so bothersome, and plus I just want to make sure we don’t get sick. We can’t afford that.’’

You wave him off.’’ Right, Right, so you ask me out was a joke then?’’

You smirk at him. You turn to him a little as he moves his head away from your shoulder, the blanket drops off your shoulders.

‘’ I wonder why you wanted me to help you in the first place , because I am not cut out for rebuilding society.’’

Then you start listing all the stuff you were not good at for the strong ages. He was silently listening to you ramble on. His hand was still on your hand.

‘’ You have an excellent sense of smell, and your presence helps me out.’’  Senku said but said the last part quietly.

You stop talking and stare at him in shock, like he said something forbidden.

‘’ W-WHAT’’

He moves his other hand to cover his face the best he can. You keep staring at the back of his hand now.  You release his hand and crawl to another side of him to see his half a cover face, to see that was blushing to the tips of his ears.

You move even closer to him forgetting about the blanket and that you were naked. You grab Senku hand that was covering his face and move it, so you can see his blush better. He avoids your eyes, but you grab his face to make him like you and peak his lips.

He wraps his arms around you and pulls you closer. Now you were on his lap. He put the animal blanket back over your shoulder.

‘’ what did I say about you getting sick?’’

‘’ Forget about that you still love me and you like my presence. What more can I ask for?’’ You playfully asked as you did heart eyes.

‘’ Well, it’s called co-regulation. It is just multiple control systems syncing up to fine -tune gene expression- pure scientific efficiency.’’

You smile offly and nod like you understand what he is saying.

‘’ Like the inside of a cell, genes don’t just turn on/off randomly. They’re controlled by-‘’

‘’ Oh boy here he goes. I never thought I would have a science lover boyfriend.’’

‘’ Also, multiple regulations bind near the same gene. They coordinate to decide how much theat-‘’

‘HE STILL GOING , who about I am fooling of course he is.’ You thought as you put an hand on his head.

He yawns, ‘’ In shorter words you complete with me.’’

Then you felt pressure on your cheat and warm breathing. You look down to see that Senku had fallen asleep on you . You wrap your arms around him and rub your finger though his hair, listening to the rain fulling in the background.

‘’ You complete me too.’’

He is wonderful, he doesn't care what you look like; He is kind, caring, funny, listens to you talk all the time, and respects you. What more can you ask for? You don't even think nothing can come between you two. 

That changes when he starts texting you a little by little and calling you less. He is canceling your plans and says he has been hanging out with friends. When you ask if you can hang out with them, he just refuses and next time.

You finally see why, it was Monday at the newcomer college party and every year there was a theme. This year it was a breach theme. A new girl can go to a college party that was for the new and old college students that are coming this year. The year it was at bakugo house. Kirishima invites you to the party, shocked that Denki didn't already do it. You just brush him off and say you will be there. 

Now here you are. All of his friends were sitting around the pool talking and having fun. When they saw you coming in, the same nod, others just waved. Uraraka and Mina were the only ones that came up to you and talked. You sat close to the pool with them, but a little far away, so you won't be that bad. You were never really comfortable going to parts and stuff like that. But you feel like you need to, like to get out of your apartment. 

You pull out your notebook to draw, at the pool chair. Minding your business, when Denki walk up to you with a girl in his arms. She was really beautiful. She had ginger  hair and big deo oranges eyes.  

'' Thunderbolt, you are her.''

'' Yeah, Eijiro invited me, I guess you've been too busy to do it'' you said with a sarcastic undertone.  

He laughs nervously and rubs the back of his head with his other hand.

'' Yeah sorry, I thought you was to uncomfortable to be able to come.''

You rise an brow and look at his side,

''And who is this?'' you ask, glaring at her.

'' Oh her.''

' Her body look better then mine.''

You shake your head.

'No no no (y/n) bad. I don't need to compare myself to her.''

'' Thunderbolt.''

'' Uh'' You said, snapping out thought.

'' I said this Yumi, she is starting college the same year as us, thunderbolt.''

'' O nice to meet you.'' You said to reach out a hand to shake hers. She just puffs and turns toward Denki, warping her arms around his arms. Denki narrows his eyes at, but quickens fix it to a smiling face. Of course you did not see it.

'' Denki, let's go get drinks.''

'' Oh Alright,'' he turns  around and starts walking back with her to the pool house. He stops and turns his head back to you.

 '' Oh yeah. thunderbolt, I will be going to your apartment today, ALRIGHT.'' He said waving and continued walking.

You sigh and pack your stuff up. You talk to Mina, saying you are going home. She asks if you need to ride, you shake your head no, and she understands, and goes back to talk with Jiro and Momo.

When you get home, you clean up and sage the whole home. You even shower, spray some of his favorite scent of perfume, and light some candles, so that it can smell good. You went two hours  waiting for him to come in. When you saw the clock hit 3 o'clock, you sigh sadly 

and blow the candles out. You went on your phone to say that he was at the club with that girl. You went to bed sad and trying not to cry. What you didn't know was that Denki came to your apartment at 4 o'clock and lay with you and kissed your check, saying sorry over and over. 

The next day you don't call or text him. You just tend to your plants and read all day, but you remind me that I was full with Denki and that girl. Your phone rings and sees that it was Denki that texted you, but you did not even open it.  Here comes that voice again. 

'Is it because I am ugly?'

'Maybe he wants someone better and skinner?'

' He should just go with her , she is prettier?'

It went on like this for all day, not giving you some sleep. You have not come out of your apartment the rest of the weeks. Everyone was getting worried, even Denki. You have not been answering the text, and calls. He woke up on Monday and checked his phone to see if someone texted and called him, only to see that Yumi was the only one that texted and called him. He just sighs and scrolls to your contact looking at it gloomy.

'' I need to go see her, I miss her so much.'

He got up and got ready to go to his new year of college  classes. When he got to the school parking lot. He was seen running up to his parking lot.

'' Denki, Denki, DENKI.'' Mina yells all the way up to his car window , when he parks his car and turns it off. She huffed for a few minutes, before she stood back up. 

'' Have you seen (y/n)?..) Mina asks Denki. He got out of his car and shook his head.

'' No why, isn't she in class, You know she always come to class early.'' He said as he closed his car door, locking it with his keys and putting it in his packet. Putting his book bag over his shoulder.

'' No, bro, she had been hanging out the library this hole week.''  Eijiro said, coming up behind Mina with his backpack on his shoulder.

'' And she not answering ours calls and texts.'' He added to the conversation.

'' So Do you know where she is?'' Sero asks, coming behind Eijiro, putting his arm on Eijiro's shoulder. Denki leaned on his car and shook his head. The three of them look at him in worry and confusion.

''Look man we are worry about (y/n) okay, you should go check on her, to see how she is doing.'' Sero says speaking up for the three of them. Denki just groans and rubs the back of his head. 

'' Look she probably be busy with something and she text o one about it, Lets just get to class before we are late.''

Denki looked around; Like he was for someone.

'' Hey where is Yumi, she said she would be right here.''

'' I saw her walking with Bakugo with Momo.'' Mina answered and raised a brow and then crossed her arms over her chest.

'' Are you and Yumi a thing now.''

'' What... No we are nothing like that, she just a friend.''

 '' You sure Denki, because me and Katsuki saw Yumi kiss your cheek the other day.''  Eijiro stated. Denki wrinkled his nose at the thought of the event.

'' Again we are just friends, that's what close friends do.''

Mina steps forward. '' You sure Denki, because we know she black-''

'' DENKI SWEETIE, THERE YOU ARE.!!" An ear- piercing voice calls out. Everyone turns their head to see Yumi running up to them, with Katsuki behind her with a scowl on his face. When they made it up to them, she gave Denki a hug and gave everyone else a fake smile. Katsuki stood next to Eijiro on the other side.

'' Are we still up for going to the movies today other classes today?''

'' Yeah, I forgot about that .''

Yumi smiles and kisses Denki on the cheek.

'' Okay see you then'' With that she left, not before shooting his friend a smirk.

'' Did you and (Y/n).....'' Mina started not wanting to finish the sentence, fearing for the worst.

'' No and I am not planning on it.''

'' Then why are you are not going to her and allowing her to kiss you on the cheek with people around, and plus you have not heard for her for a whole week, are you really her boyfriend.'' Mina half shouted, getting annoyed by it all. 

''Like I said, she is probably  just busy, stop worrying about her alright.''

He stopped leaning in his car, adjusting his bag on his shoulder. 

'' Now let just get to class, before we become late.''

Katsuki pushes past everyone to stand in front of him and slap him. Denki's whole body moved to the side. He put his hand on his cheek and looked shocked at him. Each one else was stunned, astonished really. 

''If you don't fix you relationship with (y/n) right now.'' He demanded turning around. '' I hate man like you, just a weakling.'' with that he walked away. Eijiro gave Denki a look of pity, before he followed Bakugo. Mina looked at Denki displeased before shaking her head.

'' I am sorry, but you really needed that. You know how (y/n) and you still choose to be like that to her.''

Then Mina left, going to be with her group of girls. Sero put his hand on Denki's shoulder. 

'' Look dude, I think you should just go to her and do the right thing.''

Denki was about to talk, but Sero raised his hand to stop him.

'' I would still just go to her , even if she was busy, just to make sure she alright, That what a good boyfriend do.'' Then he patted his two times and then walked off.

Denki, who was now alone, just exhaled, and got his car keys out his pocket and opened his car door and got in it. He moved his hand off his cheek and put his bag on the passenger seat and closed his car door. The school bell rings and he looks at his hand. They were right, he has ignored you the whole week. When was the last time he realized you stopped texting and calling him all together. When Yumi patted that pic of him at that club and that was on Wednesday.

He leaned his head on his head to rest and sigh of yearn. 

'' I'm really am dick.''

He started his car and headed to your apartment.

When he comes to your apartment, he parks first and sits in his car for a while, then turns his car off and gets out of his car.

'Let's hope I am still in a relationship after this.' He thought as he got out of his car.

He presses the bottom of his car, hearing car lock and starts walking up the stairs to your apartment number. When he got it, he knew once .... an answer, then knocked a second time, then a third still no answer. He gave up and used the spare you gave him, because you said you trust  him enough and that it was for emergencies. 

Well this is an emergency, so this is an emergency, so he uses it and he has an excuse if you get mad. He put the key in. When he opened the door it was cold and dark. It smells like vanilla and lavender. MMMM.. he misses this smell a lot. When he steps into the home, he enters the door and looks back. 

'' (y/n) it's me Denki Karminari'' He called out to you, but heard nothing in return.

'' (Y/N)'' He heard a moment coming from the bedroom.

He walked toward the bedroom.

'' I am coming in.'' He said opening the bedroom door. Its was dark and cold here too. He shivered and called out to you again. 

''(y/n) are you in here?'' 

''Baby are you in here?'' He called out again.

He looked over the whole room. He saw a huge blanket by the foot of your bed. When he walked closer to it, your blanket was open a little where your face was. Your computer was playing a video of a girl doing her makeup. It was playing quietly, so you had to be close to it to hear it. 

''Thunderbolt, umm are you okay?''

You continue watching the video , not even sparing him a glance. He continued to speak.

'' I come to check on you.''

You continue to ignore him. He walked over to you and got on his knees and reached out to lift your blanket. He saw your face, that look of sadness, empty, and angrier on your face.  Denki looks at you with sadness.

'' W--What you doing here?'' You said softly.

He moved his legs to sit on he butt putting his arms on his legs. 

''Don't you hear, I said that come here to check on you.''

You pause the video and sit up on your legs. You put your blanket on your shoulder. 

'' No I don't it.''

You guys stay in silence for a while. He coughs and stares at you.

'' Well you check on me, you can leave now.'' You mumbled.

You turn your head to him fully seeing that your eyes were red and puffy and your lips were dry. Now it is on full display.

' Oh baby, What have I done?' He asked himself.

'' Look I am sorry, I want to get ahead of myself and I just have been hanging out with Yumi and ignoring you. It's just a lot has been going on.''

'' Why...'' You muttered so quietly that he barely heard what you said.

'' What.'' 

''Why.'' You said louder. '' If you had something going on then, why did you fly to her instead of me, your girlfriend Denki, I just don't get it.'' You said crying by the end of it.

He started sweating and shivering.

'' I try to be with you, but she wont let me.'' 

'' Oh so that your excuse right.''

'' NO.. I am being forreal.''

'' Then why did she told me that you say she that you love her more because she more beautiful then me and skinnier, and that you only dated me because you felt sorry for and that was a bet that went to far.''

'' WHAT I NEVER SAY THAT, SHE LYING.''

'' Oh now she lying, You think I am stupid's Denki.''

''Thunderbolt, you really going to believe her over me, your boyfriend.''

'' Right now Denki, I don't know who to believe.''

He fell into silence, while both of you did. You avoid eye contact with eyes filled with tears, grabbing at your blankets.

'' We should break up.'' you uttered. 

He looks at you in disbelief. He crawls over to you, and grabs you to pull you to your chest.

'' What no, you are thinking to much on it baby, please.''

'' I am thinking alright go be with her.''  You  are crying, hiccupping.

He started stressing hard. He pulls you closer to his chest and rubs your back as you blow out crying.

'' Shhhh, I am going to fix this thunderbolt, I am going to fix this.''

When the sun hit the surface, you took off your animal skin dress and only left your undergarments'. You go up to the lake and softly put your toes in the water. It's cold, but it was perfect for just you. You walk in the lake till you are at the middle of the lake: a little ways from the edge.

The water was just up to your ankles. You sit down in the water on your knees and stare at the water below, looking at your reflection in the water. 

For a few minutes you move to lay down in the lake, letting your ears relax to the sounds of nature around you and letting your skin feel the waters. 

You kinda ended up zoning out staring at the sky.  You were in your thoughts for hours just asking questions for hours. 

'Why did Senku get me out of the stone?'

' Can I really not harm Tsukasa?'

You groan. 

' since that guy punched me on the tummy and made me throw up, He got me a bruise too.'

You thought as you rub your tummy.

You saw a pretty bird passably flying the sky, but you didn't hear the footstep coming to you.  

' Maybe I should go over there and give him a piece of my mind.'

The footsteps stop for a moment and then continue to the lake. Stopping right by you.

''Hey '' the male voice called out to you. 

You jump up sitting up to see Senku standing right next to you, with his under garments on, looking right at you in an unamused look.

You suck your teeth.

'' Oh brother, and here I thought I would get a few more minutes of peace.''

Now he is even more unamused. You lay back in the water.

''I will be back to the village in a few, okay.'' You said, closing your eyes.

You can feel red eyes staring straight at you. You open one eye to see that he was staring at you with a blank face.  You let out a breath of air.

'' Okay what ups?'' You question as you sit up on your four arms.  

'' We need to talk.''

You fake a grasp in shock.

'' Omg are you breaking up with me. I already knew this would happen. It was good while it lasted. If we was back in the 21 century, I would had my break up playlist.'' You said faking a tear. He just huff and rolled his eyes.

'' No I am here to talk about something's.''

'' Oh.''

You sat up full now. You pat at the water right next to you beside you.

 '' You do have a lot on your mind. Tell me a little scientist. What on that mind of yours.''

'' Really, still with that nickname.''

''Of cruse, You call me by (n/n)''

'' Anyway, ITs about Kohaku's sister. You are the best one that can figure out what is going on with her. He said sitting next to you.

He was shoulder to shoulder, skin to skin, next to you. You grab his hand and start playing with his fingers, that he allowed you to do, when no else is around.

'' You already have this figured out, but I just want my opinion. Well to be frank with you. I don't know, I have to take a look at her and examine her to know what she have.''  You said as you put your other hand that was not playing with Senku fingers to know and put it on your chin in a thinking motion.

'' Anyway, why are you asking me?''

'' Like you said I just want a second opining of the matter, That's all.'' Senku says as he moves closer to you, like that possible. 

You let go playing with his hand and lean back to the water. While he moves to lay his head on your stomach.

'' Is that all?''

You look at Senku with a happy aura around you. He had an annoyed aura around him. You stare at him a little longer to see there was something else in his eyes. 

'He wanna say something so bad.' You thought as you put your arm over your eyes. 

You and him were in silence for a while, you sat up gently putting his head on your lap.

'' Okay, you are oddly quiet. You usually talk all scientist by now.''

He put his hand on his chin.

'' I was thinking that I sure make sulfanilamide and antibiotic as back up.''

Oh, Then you should.''

You guys went quiet for a few more minutes.

'' Well we should get before the others finds us and find out our relationship .'' You said making him get up off your lap. He looked at you like a hurt puppy, but immediately went to a blank face.  

  '' I don't really care if they find out. It just their useless question that get on my nerves that, so that why I sad I don't want them to know.'' He said standing up letting water drop off him.

 '' That's crazy, because you when we was in the scientist, you told me you wanted a romantic relationship with me in front of everyone .'' You said as you stood in the lake, putting a hand on Senku. 

Senku ears turn red.

'' T-That was an accident, I said that while I was busy with something.''

You laugh, patting his shoulder, and start walking out of the lake, with him following behind you.

'' Well I am glad that I can win your heart then.''

You did a victory pose and then continued walking out the lake.

'' I knew along nine brown cute self, would bag a baggie.''

'' Stop using you dumbness talk.''

You both made it to shore and walked up to the tree you put your sack on. You see where Senku put his clothes and bag too.

You put your animal skin back on and got your sack, while doing the same. You open your sack and dig in there and pull out a clay pot of Aloe Vere. That Senku gift you when you break out the stone and find him.

You open it and scoop a lot of it out of it. Put it on your arm and rub it to make sure you don't be ashy. When you were done putting on your body, Senku put his arm in front of your face and you smiled and rubbed some left over all over his body too, in comfortable silence.

When you are done , you pop the top back on and put it back in the sack.

'' Thanks.''

'' Your welcome, lord, know you need it. working with all that chemicals and everything.''

He snuffled and started walking to the village, with you following behind him.

'' Now lets get the village to join the kingdom of scientist.''

To when the sun is barely on the surface of the land too late into the night, just to start all over again. Today you have a day off, because your "husbands" have an important person over.  So they had you hiding out.  

Will that what it felt like, you be here for hours now. Your maid who was just 16 years old. These two weeks she has been by your side that whole. Helping you out and telling you what right and now. 

Like with the silkworms farming, she was telling you that you had to rise them, take care of them, till they were in a cocoon and sell them. 

But back to reality, you look at her pouring tea. 

'' Mika''

She jumped a little.

'' Yes you empress''

'' What did I tell you about calling me that? You can call me my my name.''

She shook her head and set the tea pot down. 

'' I cannot do that, Your empress it only  right  that I call you by your right title.''

You pick up the cup and blow on the tea, before setting it back down.

'' I know that, but I am still not use to this at all; and plus it only right since we are going to be together a lot more.'' 

'' I still can't, my lady.''

''Please.'' You said as you try to get her with your puppy dog eyes.

'' No your lady, now if that all your empress, I will be going.''  With that she bow and left yo go stand outside the door.

When the door closes, you plod on to your back , staring up at the ceiling of your room. Your mind goes deep in thought. 

 Will I have a little bit of free time; I did find that I can read and write in their language.'

  You turn to your side and sigh.

  'I even try to look for the book on that girl and her...I think god, but I find nothing on it. I need to find a way back to the place.'

It was quiet for a moment, until you heard a lot of commotion outside your door.

'' You cannot come in hear, The emperor said not to let everyone in her lady room in till the hosting party is over.'' You hear Mika voice  said to someone. 

'' So you are going to deny the emperor brother in.'' A deep old voice says to Mika.

''I am sorry truly, but it the Emperor rules.''

'' That is absurd. If that was true; why did I hear about it.'' 

'' I don't know maybe because you was not in the place, when he announcement it to all of the servant.'' 

Then when you heard a slap and a thump.

''You little whore, how dare you insult my work.'' You hear two maids go to Mika's side. 

'' Mika are you okay?'' One maid said.

'' How dare you lay hand on the Empress main maid .'' Another said. 

That when you got up and ran to  the door and slid it open fast.

'' WHAT IS GOING ON OUT HERE?'' You shout.

You saw that Mika was on the floor with the other two maids by her side on the floor. Then you look to your left to see a middle aged man in front of a young looking man. Two of your maids look at you with sadness in their eyes. When the old man saw he just bowed. 

'' My Empress this man and his servant is here to see you, but we was told by his highness that we cannot let anyone in till the hosting party was done.'' One of the maids told you, answering your question from before.

You exhale and walk over to Mika. You glance down to Mika and bend down to her ear. 

'' Are you okay Mika ?'' You asked her in a whisper. She nodded her head and got up with the help of you and the two maids.

You grab her chain to turn her head to the side to see a red hand print on her cheek.

'' Who in the hell slap my maid?''

'' It was that one your empress .'' the other  maids said and pointed at the old man. 

You look at the man servant and let Mika hand you gently. You put your hand on one of your maids. 

'' I need you go get  your highness and tell him, his brother is here.''  

The maid nods and hurries off to get Aoki . You fully turn toward both of the men. 

'' Now what do you want with me?''

The young guy moved his move servant to the side and did a quiet bow.

'' My lovely sister-in-law, I am just here to see, just to see how you are fitting into the palace; if we can talk.'' The young guy spoke, his voice sounded sweet like honey and had like a child's playness to it. 

'' Well since you want to know, I am doing fine, you can go now.'' with that you turn to Mika and look at her slap cheek to see the damage. Telling both Mika and the maid to go into your room.

''Well you see, since me and my servant come all this way; I thought we can come in and rest a while.''

You turn your head and stare at him in shock. 

' Did this man just-'

''No, Now run along.'' You said now in frustration that he was not listening to you.

When Mika gets into your room, you hurry and try to get in your room and slide the door closed. He and his servant rush into your room , push you out the way and succeed in getting into your room. You catch yourself before you hit the floor. You wide your (e/c) eyes  in disbelief and you tense up.

'' E-Excuse I didn't give you permission to walk in my room.''

He walk in more in your room and sat down where you was sitting early 

'' Your lady, are you okay.'' The maid said.

'' How dare you plush the empress.'' Mika shouted.

'' So''

Your eyes twitch in anger and annoyance.  You took a deep breath and said calmly. 

'' SO, I am not letting a man, I don't know  in my room; even if you are the who barge in my room.''

He rise his, so he can put his arm on his knee.

'' My name is Hino Tokage, the little brother of of Hino Aoki; little brother, you know what that means right; I am the prince.'' He says with a smug tone.

You gape at him in shock. 

'' REALLY.''

'' Yes''

' I mean it makes sense, I think. Aoki has red  hair and eyes that make you think that you are staring at the pit of lava. While this guy has green eyes the like you are staring at a deep green forest, and he black like night. Okay maybe they were not the same, but still my point still stands.'

'They must have different moms or something.' You continue your thought.

You backed up a little to the open door and heard running footsteps. Then three bodies of your body guard take your vision. A male hand was on your shoulder pulling you towards a strong chest. Then you heard a booming husky voice. 

'' Hino Tokage, What the hell are you doing in my wife rooms and not going through the right protocol?'' The voice inquired.

It was Hino Aiko or your husbands. They made you keep calling him that for some reason. That male servant and everyone else, except for Tokage and you of course. 

'' Brother its nice that you are paying us a visit.'' Tokage said standing up and continuing to speak.

'' And you said it yourself . That I should visit your dear lovely wife.''

'' I never said that .'' Aoki's booming voice said.

Tokage put his flinger on his chin in a thinking motion. 

'' Oh right you did not, how silly of me.'' He said as he tilted his head to the side.

The brothers stare at each other, making the tense and daring for each other to speak. The tenses were so thick that you could cut them with a knife. 

'This is getting on my nerves' You thought.

You grab Aiko's arm and push it a little bit. You look at Aoki , then Tokage and then at the servant who has a visible shaking sense he got here. So you decide to get them a break.

'' How about me and the servant go outside the door, so you can guys can talk this out.''

Everyone stares at you in surprise, that you was brave a enough to break the tense atmosphere.

' Look I am just doing this, so I can get out of this .'

Aoki breaks eye contact with his little brother and looks at you, searching for something in your eyes, when he finds it, he closes his eyes and sighs, letting go of your waist. 

'' Fine, but just wait outside the door, we will not be longer.''

You bow , like you were taught to do and go outside. Once everyone was outside, one of the maids that was there closed, you let out a sigh of relief. 

'' Ugh,..That nervous of that guy.''

You whip around and take a look at all the servants. They were shivering like a leaf, they lowered their heads. One of them stepped in front and shook his head.

'' M-M-Ma'am Please be restful .. your empress, The emperor will find a way to get his brother out of your room.''

You gaze at her and groan. You put your hand on your forehead, feeling a headache coming on. 

'' Listen....'' You stop mid-talk, to get her name, hoping she takes the hint. She got the hint. 

'' Hino, My lady.'

''Listen Hino, I am just fine and not angry or anything, I just don't  like him and his servant not listening to me .'' You said putting a hand on your shoulder, and stare at everyone.

'' And I hate it when he slaps one of my maids. I don't like no one putting hands on the servant.''

Everyone was shocked at what you said,

''What?'' You question.

Mika coughed and said.

'' Nothing but my lady, you should not touch the servant,''

'' So she is just human and I don't care about a little dirt anyone. ''

That is when you grab Hino and hug her. Everyone let out a shock noise.

'' Let this be a lesson, that all of you are going to be alright with me as an Empress.''

All the servants bow and say. '' Yes My Empress.''

You let go of Hino and put your hands on the hips. 

''  Now that's....that, what up with the brother looking different.''

That when you hear a crush and shouting in your room. You turn to the door concerned. The shouting got louder and more crushing sound in your room.

'' They are destroying my room bro'' You whisper. 

'' HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT MY MOTHER!'' You hear what Tokage sounds like. You turn to another servant.

'' You open the door,'' You said in a serious tone.

''B-But''

'' NOW''

Hino looked at the maid..

'' You hear the empress.''

They open the door and you run in, stop at the front of the room to see that your room  was completely destroyed. Your little table was flipped over and your tea cups and tea pot were spilled all over the floor. There was a little bit of blood on the floor and on the two brothers. You also saw that your favorite kimono was on the floor. You were frustrated and sad, You stomped more into the room and made it to them. Tokage was on top of Aoki, poking him on the face. You grab Tokage by the collar of his kamado  and  pull him off Aoki. 

You check on Aoki to see if he is okay. Only to see that blood was coming out his nose, red marks were on his check and there was a cut on his chin. You look over at him more to see that his hand was badly cut too.

' I wonder what was said to lead up to this outburst.'

You turn to the door to see that all the servants were staring at both the brothers in horror. You clap your hands to slap them out of it and say.

'' I need someone to go get the doctor to treat their wounds , tell them that Emperor and his brother are hurt badly, and that some of you go get help and clean this place up. Now go.''

They all nod and start moving. Tokage's old servant got to his first in panic. You look at Mika.

'' Mika I need you need to help me take the Emperor to his room, so it easy for his doctor to treat him.''

Mika nodded and helped right away. You and Mika put his arms over his shoulder, and start walking to the door, but stop when a voice stops you both.

'' AOKI ANS (Y/N)…You both better watch your back. mostly you Aoki. you never know when the truth comes out. '' Tokage yells at you both.

You three continue walking after that.

'That was weird, I wonder what he is talking about.'

'' Be careful Mika, we don't know if he more serious injuries underneath his clothes.''

When you guys made it to your room and put him on his futon ( that Mika laid out for him). You made Mika  get some hot water, to clean up some blood. When she left to go do that, you helped him remove the top of his clothes. You see that he had more scraps and bruises on his top neck and shoulders. You move your eyes to look at him to see that he was already staring at you with his lava-like eyes. 

'' What? '' You question him weirdly, raising an eyebrow.

He continues to stare at you.

'' I will just turn around and you can do it by yourself, if you are uncomfortable.''

He laughed.

'' What so funny?''

'' Nothing'' He said, trying to control his laugh.

'' Fine, if you find this funny, I am leaving,'' You said as you got up to leave.

He stops laughing and grabs your wrist and pulls you closer to him. He hugs and breathes in your smell and whispers to you.

'' This is why I pick you as my wife.''

You try to get out of his arms, but he is just tightening his arms.

'' What about you injuries, you are serious hurt?''

'' I don't care about that, I just want to stay like this. Please let me stay like this.'' He said in a breathily tone, like he was about to fall asleep.

You sigh and start to relax in his arms.

'What am I going to do?''

You guys walk in, you look around it was an old Japanese room, kind of understandable, the room was big, woody, the light from the sun makes it aesthetic and the dark brown of the wood and the greens of the floor and walls, seem like you are in the movie. It was beautiful. It also has a mid-sized table. 

The three guys walked in and inmates sat at the table with pillows as seats. The two maids bow and say to wait for the emperor to come and to put on the kimono that was hanging on the wood sticks in a t-pose; and that they will bring tea for the wait. With that they left. Now you are here, with the kimono that was black and has a nice flower design. Lest just the guys help you put it on. 

The three guys were drinking tea and talking and laughing it up, while you were walking back and forth in panic, but now you were sitting in front of them. 

‘’ What am I supposed to do now?’’ You said grabbing the cup with the warm tea in it and slamming it back on the table; like it was the shot. You lay on the floor.

‘’ I just want to go hame.’’

‘’ Welp i can’t help you there, and plus you should be happy you got pick.’’ The boss said calmly, slipping his tea. 

‘’ Yeah yeah, like the boss said, you should be happy that you are getting married to the emperor.’’ said the second guy.

‘’ You guys are not helping me and umm….. Wait a minute.’’ you said as you got up from your lying position. ‘’ What are your guys names anyway?’’

The three guys look at you and then at each other. The boss put his cup down and sighs. 

‘’ Well since we are not going to stay. My name is Yoshio.’’

‘’My name is Naoki.’’ That one said that got his boss back all the time.

‘’ I am Moria.’’ The guy that was actually smart said with a toothy grin.

‘’ Nice to meet you guys, Now that I know your guys names. It's going to be a lot easter to remember you guys.’’ then you went into thought. 

" What happens if I make them stay here and help me out, and I can help them get pay as my bodyguard,’ you grin and look at them.

‘’ I got a offer you guys are going to like.’’ 

Yoshio puts his hand up. ‘’ No thanks.’’

‘’ It's involves money.’’

He puts his hand down. ‘’ Keep talking.’’

‘’ How about i make you guys a bodyguard, I can find a way to make the emperor agree.’’

Yashio went into thought and then whispered to the guys that were listening to the whole time. Then wanting them to stop, he coughed and said deal. You jump up and yell.

‘’ Yessssss, you would not regret it.’’

‘’ Don’t make us change our mind now.’’

‘’ Your emperor, why did you chose that- that - that girl to be your wife?’’

.

.

.

.

.

In the other part of the place, the emperor was sitting up at his thorne. He had all of the higher up in front of him angry that he chose you. He is slouching in his seat, and looking at them with a bored expression. 

‘’She not even that important.’’ one lady sat behind her hand.

‘’And did you see the way she was dressing .’’ another lady said.

‘’She was dressing like a slut .’’ a man said this time.

‘’The way she was dress, i would love to have her as one of my wifes.’’

Everyone howled at what the old man said. Aoki sat up straighter and glared at them.

‘’ And what makes you guys thinks you can talk so reckless to me?’’ He demanded them.

Everyone stopped laughing and bowing, except for one the lieutenant general. The one who barged in the emperor throne room in the first place.

‘’ I am sorry, My king. But why do you want that as the Empress? You had princess Bikktoria was the better choice in this.’’   

Aoki scowled and got up. He took a step down from the steps, stepping closer to the lieutenant general. 

‘’ So lieutenant, you think you can talk reckless to me? ‘’ Aoki said again, but in a deep low tone. ‘’ You think you can’t choose my wife?’’ 

Now he is in front of the lieutenant, red eyes staring into brown eyes. The lieutenant did not back down or look away. 

‘’ Litens lieutenant  I know want you really want.’’

‘’ You do.’’

‘’ Yes’’ Aoki puts his hand on his shoulder and smiles, but not a happy smile more like ‘ i am going to kill you’ smile.

Everyone who was already bowing and was now pleading to be spare. 

‘’ SILENCE ‘’ Everyone shut up. ‘’Since lieutenant here think I am stupid, what if i just show him.’’

The lieutenant then dropped to the ground and started pleading. Aoki looks at a guard and waves him where they is , with his other hand. 

‘’Gimme your sword.’’  

The guard reaches for his sheath with one hand and unsheathe his sword with the other, just enough for Aoki to unsheathe it fully. Aoki removed his hand on the lieutenant's shoulder and took a step back. The lieutenant puts his head down and clenches his hand. 

‘’Look up at me .’’ 

He did not look at Aoki.

‘’ I said… LIFT UP YOUR FUCKING HEAD.’’

The lieutenant took a minute to lift his head, but when he did he saw a sung look on Aoki's face.

‘’ Now tell everyone what you was saying to your Emperor.’’

‘’I..I.I was just saying that his highness should marry the princess instead of that girl.”

That when the air in the room  was starting to feel suffocating, gloomy  and darker for everyone. Everyone was shaking in fear including the lieutenant.

‘’ Anymore words you have lieutenant, hell anyone of you have words for me, since i don’t know how to choose my wife.’’ Aoki points his sword to everyone around the room. 

‘’ Well good, now then let's start.’’ He raises his sword. ‘’ I sentence you to death.’’ Right when he was about to swing the guard sword down. The doors to the throne room open up. Everyone looked to see who it was. 

The gendered look around and that Aoki arm was still in the air with a sword in hand, and the lieutenant was on the floor on his knees. He did a quick bow and started walking up to Aoki and the lieutenant. 

‘’ I am sorry, Emperor, but the Empress is really to you see.’’ 

‘’ General Kagami, I will see her when I am done with something here.’’ Aoki looks at Kagami with a sneerer look. Kagami stopped walking when he got up to them. 

‘’ I am sorry Emperor, but she has been waiting for a while. She been nonstop asking for you, She said if you don’t come quickly she would leave.’’

Aoki looks at Kagami blue eyes, to see if he was lying or it was something else, who knows, but what he does know is that his wife is calling him.

He clicks his tongue in frustration. He put his arm with the sword down and gave it to the Kagami, who in return gave it back to the guard, who took it from him and bowed quickly. 

‘’ Welp take me to her.’’ 

‘’ Mika’’ Kagami called out to the young lady. She comes in fast, walking in and stopping next to Kagami. She bowed and spoke.

‘’ What is it that you need, General?’’

‘’ I need you to take the Emperor to his wife please.’’

‘’ Alright.’’ She said and then turned to Aoki. ‘’Please follow me.’’

Aoki sighs and fixes his outfit. ‘’ Right, Well lead the way.’’ Then look back the lieutenant and said, ‘’ next you open your mouth about my wife, I will get your tongue.’’ 

With that he walks around the lieutenant and starts following Mika out the door. The door closed behind him. Everyone let out a sigh of relief and stopped bowing. 

‘’ General…..I ‘’

‘’ Shut your trapped.’’ Kagami glared at him. ‘’ You are lucky, I saved your ass  this time around, but next time around I cannot. Don't let it happen again. And for fuckshakes gets your ass off that damn floor.’’

Kagami walks to the door, when they open and he steps through, they immediately close behind him.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Aoki walked to your room on the other side of the place. 

‘’ Why do her room so far away?’’

‘’ Because this is where the Empress sleep with her servants.’’

‘’ I don’t like that at all, make you tell the head maid that want her to be closer to me.’’

‘’ Will do your highness .’’

Then she stopped walking in front of the door. She turned to the door.

‘’ Tell me when you are ready sir.’’

Aoki sighed to himself and then nodded to her. She then got on her knees and moved to the side of the door, so Aoki was the only one visible. Then yell out.

‘’ The Emperor is here .’’ Then she opened the door.  He walks in and the maid closes the door after him. He looked around to see that you were sitting at the table, drinking some tea. Then turn his head, the three guys bowing to him. He chuckled.

‘’ You know, and real lady loves to bow to me .’’

You got annoyed at him quickly.

‘’ I am not like other women- how cheese that sound.’’ 

‘’ I see that now .’’ He walk closer to you ‘’ Leave us.’’  He said to the three guys. They stopped bowing and nodding and left the room. When the door shut behind them., that was when he spoke .

‘’ How is your liking to living here?’’

‘’ IT’s okay.’’

‘’ Well that’s good.’’

He sat next to you and poured himself some tea. You then look at him.

‘’ Don’t I have to …like pour you some tea or something.’’ He then puts his hand up and waves you off. 

‘’ Its alright like pouring tea for myself.’’

You stare at him for a long time. He saw that you were staring at him. He smiles at you. 

‘’Yess, do you need something?’’

‘’ Yes, You like an emperor right’’

‘’ Yes.’’ he said while drinking his tea.

‘’ Then prove it them’’ 

‘’ Prove it.’’ he laugh and lean in  close to you.’’How’’

‘’ Tell the maid to bring us some sweets.’’

He stares at you for a full minute and belly laughs, setting his cup down, so he wouldn’t waste his tea. He stopped laughing to see that you were being serious. He wiped his eyes of tears. 

‘’ Oh you are being serious, Well then that would easy but first.’’ He said in an amused voice. ‘’ If I do this then. I get to ask some question.’’

‘ Is he getting a kick out of this?’ You thought and sigh. ‘’ Fine. I guess you can, but no inappropriate questions tho and wanna ask questions too.’’

He put a finger to his lips and wink to you. ‘’ I can’t make no promises and sure.’’  He then snaps his fingers and the door immediately opens and a pretty young maid comes walking in. She bowed.

‘’ You called Emperor.’’

‘’ OH Mika, I need you to bring some sweets for our little queen here.’’

‘’ Yes, is that all?, You highness.’’ 

‘’ Welllll is there.’’ he said in a childish voice.

You shake your head. He waved her off. ‘’ That is all’’

She bowed and took a step back, and the door slid close.

‘’ They sure do come and go fast.’’

‘’ That’s how I like it .’’

 He then leaned forward on the table and put his hand on his cheek, looking at you. 

‘’ So my question.’’ You waved at him in annoyance. 

‘’ Go ahead.’’

‘’ Why are you so dark?’’  You gasped. 

‘’ That’s so rude, but it was because I was born with this skin. ’’ He hummed in understandment. ‘’Okay my turn.’’ He nodded. 

‘’ Go ahead.’’ He said mocking you.

You give him the ‘ boy don’t don’t play with me’ look. He put his hand up in defense. 

‘’ Why do you need a wife?’’ 

His face went blank, he was just looking at you. You started to get uncomfortable and got your now cold cup of tea. 

‘’ You know ….You don’t have to talk about it.’’

‘ You only ask the question, because of that conversation with those three guys, they told me about his past and how he became the Emperor, but they don’t know why he needs a wife. Rumor had it that he is just tired of going to all the brothels or/and another one was that he was bored of being alone. No outside or inside the place really knows.’

‘Now that I am close to him, I should just at least ask..’ You sweat drop at his blank face.’ But now, I am starting to think I am going to die.’

Aoki finally moved and took a drink of his tea. He put his cup down and poured himself some more tea. He looks at his now full cup of tea, softly. He looks so innocent, sad and you can only guess that guilty.

‘’ Oh I just realized, I never told you my name .’’ You said trying to cheer him up. ‘’ I am Takano (y/n), I think that how you said my last name.’’ You whisper the last part to yourself.

He cheered up really fast, like all of that and said his name.

‘’  Hino Aoki.’’

 With that you guys talk, ask questions, and drink a lot of tea with each other. Until late into the night, but by then you fall asleep on his shoulder. He stares at you, sees your soft features , beautiful in the moonlight. You were nothing like him, you were pure and careful, he was a monster and dirty. He leaned his head back and sigh out loud and rubbed his face, laying both you guys down, so that you were now on his chest. He then softly said.

‘ He can’t be that bad.’ You thought as you got tired of standing. You turn and see the three guys that brought you here. You walk up to the main leader, and poke  his shoulder.

‘’ Hey, what is my last name and what is my status here? ‘’ You asked him in a low tone, so no one hears you. He raised a brow at you in confusion. 

‘’ Tell me now or i am going to run out here and you want get that money my dad promise.’’

You said, remembering that he said that, when he said that when you guys were coming over here.

He huffed. ‘’ Fine, You are Takano (Y/n) and you are a noble, but you are weird and never wants to come outside, no one never see you, you have a rumor going around that you are a monster and that you are ugly,rude, unmannered.’’ When he finishes. He looks at you in a you happy now look.

You nod and start listening back for your name and you look around at the people whose names were not called, and see that they were happy to go home. 

‘Bro, I hope that's me going home, I don’t want to be an empress now or ever.’

‘’ AND LAST IS TAKANO (Y/N).’’

You jump a little and look around. 

‘ He's calling me right?’  Your question was answered, when the three guys push you forward, but not enough to make you fall. When you got your bearings back, you walked to the mat and sat down unmannerly. Your legs spread outward. That when people around gasp or where shocked and whispering to each other.

‘’How unlady-like’’ a man whispered.

‘’ It’s that lady Takano, from the Takano family. You know that lady whos always in her a house and never go to events.’’ A woman whispered.

‘’ Look how dirty and ugly she is.’’ Another woman whispered. 

You glaze at her and turn back to the front. 

‘’IF YOUR NAME WAS NOT CALLED, PLEASE LEAVE WITH YOUR FAMILY , SO WE CAN START THE NEXT SEGMENT.’’

The people bowed and started leaving.When it started getting quiet, the only people left were the womens whose names were called and their family.The guards closed the first door to the main courtyard.

‘’Now for the next segment, we want you to come up and greet the emperor, and state your name, status, While pouring him some tea.’’ The main guard said finally not yelling for once.

‘’ Now let's start, Kamiyoto Bikutoria.’’ 

Everyone gasps and is shocked.

‘’ She here.’’ One of the participants mumbled to the other.

‘’ What is the princess of Yokohama, doing at a place like this.’’ another mumbled.

‘’ Wasn’t she supposed to be marrying the emperor brother?’’ A parent asked her husband and he nodded.

‘’ Yes, but why is she here?, That would look bad at her part.’’

She got up from her sitting position on the seat and walked to the bottom of the stairs. She then gently and gracefully picks up her komodo and walks up the stairs. With each step she took,  it was like watching a beautiful bird dancing. When she got to the top, She keiri bowed to the emperor, who just waved her off and smirked. 

‘’ I am Kamiyoto Bikutoria, I am the princess of the Kamiyoto family.’’ She said as her voice came out like silk.

She then sat down on her legs and on the zabuton cushions.She left her arm up halfway, then she used her other hand to move her sleeve out the way. She gently grabbed the tea pot, she then lifted the tea pot and poured the tea until it was half full. She then put the pot down and picked up the cup and gently sat it down in front of the emperor. 

‘’ What are you doing here?, wasn’t you supposed to get marry to my brother.’’ The Emperor questioned her in a low voice, so the others couldn't hear.

‘’ You know I don’t like him, I am in love with you and he already had a lot of wifes.’’

The emperor only grinned and picked his cup up. The servant next to him yells out pass. The women smiled and got up.

‘’ Thank you emperor.’’

Then she walked back down the stairs and went back to her seat. 

‘’ I expected, nothing else form the princess.’’ a man said.

‘’ Right, Its upsettin tho, it have to be the evil emperor.’’

She smiles and nods her head to everyone in thanks.

You sigh. ‘ I do hope, I don’t pass.’

‘’ Next we will have-’’

The guard calls the next lady up to the emperor.

As the hour passes, and hours of the guard calling names and the servant yelling pass or fail. Now it was only you left.

 ‘’ Takano (y/n).’’

‘’ It’s the un manner girl.’’

‘’She is going to fail, no doubt about it .’’

‘’ Right… It look like princess Bikkutoria will be the only one to pass all the way through and become the empress.’’

Everyone in the courtyard agreed. 

‘Everyone don’t  think i am going to pass, Thank god.’’ You thought as you got up and passed a lot of people to get to the stairs. You walk up the stairs and when you get to the top, you keiri bow to the emperor, like you all the others do. You plop down on the cushions ugly and not as graceful like the princess.. People chuckled at you.

You look at the emperor. Now that you are closer to him, he is breathtaking. His hair is so red it likes fire and eyes to match with. His face is in a scowl. 

‘His hair and eyes match his attitude, I already saw this coming, by how everyone talks about him.’

You look back to the small table. You grab the tea pot and hear a cough. You look up and see that the emperor had his hand over his mouth.

‘’ State your name and status.’’

His voice was husky, but deep and powerful, like you caught him waking up in the morning.

‘ Dang, His voice is hot. Maybe I should try a little.’

‘’ My name is Takano (y/n) and I am a noble of the T-Takano.’’ 

‘’ Takano.’’ He said slowly the last name rolling off his tongue.

‘’ Yep’’ You nod. You set the pot down, that has been refilled with hot tea.

‘’ Hey, can I ask you a questions.?’’

He raises his eyebrow and look at you in confusion. He nodded, which gave you the go ahead.

‘’ Why do everyone call you an evil emperor? You don’t look like it to me. You just look mean, but not evil.’’

He stared at you and burst out laughing . Everyone at the courtyard was shocked and terrified.

‘’ Is he laughing.’’

‘’I have  never see him laugh.’’

When he stopped laughing and started coughing into his hand. He picks up his cup and down his cup and places it in front of you, asking for a refill. You pick up the tea cup and pour him some tea in the cup, then place it back. You then put the teapot back down. He took his cup and drank some tea. The emperor leaned back a little and grinned a little. 

‘’ Now…’’ He set his cup down.’’ I have a question for you.’’

‘’ Yes… What is it?’’ You put your hands on your lap.

‘’ Why are you so dirty?’’

You look at him in disappointment. You are so irritated at this point with all of these comments.

‘’ I beg your pardon.’’

He crosses his arms over his chest and smirks.

‘ Is…..he is messing with me or he is trying to embarrass me?’

‘’ Well I was born with this , Emperor.’’ You said in a matter-a-fact tone.

He hummed and snicked.

‘’ I like you.’’ He said, before another one of his servants came over bow, bent down and whispered something in his ear. Then she stood up and bowed again, waiting behind him. He rubs his forehead  and stands up.He looks down and you. You can see that he apologized in his eyes , but his face went back to a scowl.

‘’ MY PEOPLE, I AM SORRY, BUT I HAVE TO END THIS EVENT EARLY.’’ He shouted in irritation.

‘’ SO I WILL PICK A BRIDE NOW.’’

Everyone was excited and some were terrified.

’ I know it's going to be the princess.’

‘’ Right obviously she is the right choice.’’

‘’ MY EMPRESS IS TAKANO (Y/N).

You stand up in shock.

‘’ WHAT.’’ 

✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭

'' I was thinking that we should do a girls day.'' You said as you were about to walk on a long bridge on the outer skirts of town.

'' Girl yessssss... I need it sooo bad, my child baby daddy has been getting on my nerves.'' She said over the phone.

'' Girl... I don't know if you are putting up with him and aren't you guys supposed to be separated.''

'' Because he is a good father to my kid and we are still together, but sometimes it's the little things that I can't deal with.''

'' I don't know why you are still putting up with him tho, if it's the little things that matter.''

''Because that thing is good.''

''Eeeewwwww, I do not need to hear that.''

'' so, you kept asking.''

'' You are so annoying, bro.''

'' And what about it, you love me '' she laughed.

'' Yes, I guess so.'' You said in a positive laugh. You were at the end of the bridge when you saw a black figure. The figure was standing there just staring at you. The figure was wearing what you can see though the rain, wearing a black long coat.

'' Girl.. there is someone at the end of the bridge, just looking at me.'' you said low on the phone.

'' Girl, if you don't run.''

'' I will just turn around and find another way to get home.''

'' You do that then and not listen to me.''

Right when you turned around, the black figure was right in front of you. You look at the thing in shock, Now that you are in front of it, you can see that the thing looks a little bit like you. The figure looks up at you and smiles. You can hear your friend on the phone, yelling your name.

'' (Y/N).............(Y/N)''

'' Hello ......friend.'' the thing said in broken english.

You took a step back after getting over your stage of shock.

'' Um....... Hi.''

The figure was in front. Now that this thing is up close she seems to be a girl.

'' Do you …..want to take …my ..place?''

'' What ?''

' What is this thing talking about?' You thought as you took another step back.

'' I don't know what you are talking about.''

'' Do you… want to take… my …place?'' She asked again.

You look away from her.

'' Look, I don't know what you are talking about. So leave me alone, before I call the police.''

She grabbed your face and made you look at her. She moves your head back and forth, like she was examining you. You can see her eyes were a beautiful shade of (e/c), like yours.

' Wait a minute, she looks just like me.' You thought.

'' You look just like me. Well a little bit.'' she finally said but this time in perfect English.

She was right, but the only thing that was different was that you don't have the same skin color.

'' You would be wonderful for the cruel emperor'' she said as she let go of your face.

'' Wait, what are you talking about? I don't want that at all, just leave me alone.''

But it was too late, a blue light surrounded you two. She then grabs hold of your wrist and you try to get her to let go.

'' What do you want from me?"

'' I already told you, I am here so you can take my place to marry the emperor .'' she finally answers you after all of this time, sounding frustrated with you. She continued to say.

'' Have you not been listening to me.''

before you can answer, she talks again.

'' who cares about that, we are wasting time here.''

With that she looks at her side and turns to the side, like she was looking for someone. When she found what she was looking for, she turned back to you.

'' O great god, I have found someone, I like her to take my place.''

A larger man stares down at you two. When you finally get free from the girl and start running in the other direction.

'' Friend, call the police.''

'' I already did it.''

But you did not get to go far when you got picked up, but the tall guy, within the process you dropped your umbrella and he took your phone from your pocket, snatching the ear plug out of your ears.

You can still hear your friend yelling out to you through your earphones. He walked right back to that girl.

'' You sure you want her to take your place, I mean yeah she looks like you, but she don't look like you, if you get what i mean.''

'' I don't care, I just want to get this over with.''

'' so be it.''

With that he put you down, before you could run again you got frozen in place. He started to speak to you.

'' (y/n) (l/n) you will taking the place of Rin Takano and marrying the cruel emperor and living life of the empress, When I am done talking, you will be (y/n) Takano, Good luck .''

Everything turned dark.

You woke up and sat up. You look around to see you were in the middle of the forest and birds were flying around and chirping happily.

' Where am I?' You thought as you got up from your sitting position and dust yourself off. You look at your legs and then look at your body to see that you were wearing a komodo.

A beautiful one that was a beautiful shape of pink and with fishes on it.

' How the hell did this get on me? '

You started walking to find a way to get out of the or until you see a path.

That when you hear footsteps running to you and a voice yell out to someone else.

'' HEY GUYS I FOUND HER.'' The guy shouted out.

''THEN GET HER DUMBASS.'' The second guy shouted out.

That's when you started to run .

'' OH CRAP.... SHE IS RUNNING AGAIN.'

They started to chase you too. That made you run faster.

' Bro why are they running after me and where the hell am I?'

After a few hours of running, you were in a wagon cage. You got caught. Well, how?, Well your trip, because of the komodo and fell in the river. Now here you are in a cage, not tied up by the way.

' You know we have been looking for you girly'' The second guy said.

‘’ Yeah, your father pays us a good amount of the money to get you off the emperor.'' the third guy said.

You climb closer to the front of the cages, where the three guys were at, the first guy was pulling the carriage.

‘’ But I am not her, how many times do I have to keep telling you that"

‘’ Yeah Yeah and dogs can fly.’’

‘’ I am telling the truth'

The third guy turns around and looks at you closely.

‘’ Now that I have a closer look at her boss, she does look a lot more dirty."

' That's probably just mud that was rub on

her.’’

‘’ But when she fell in the water, it should have come off her.’’ The first guy said with the third guy nod in agreement with him.

‘’ Well it will probably get scrubbed off at the palace. You know the palace has stuff like that.’’

‘’ You are so dumb.’’ you said to the second guy, The second guy hit your cage.

‘’ Hush up in there and it doesn't matter anyway, because that's the palace issue.’’

You sit back and wrap your arms around your body.

‘ Why are they so stupid and I still don’t know where I am.'

You then look at your side and see that there were people that looked sick and homeless. Some were coughing and others were hugging each other. They look unkempt and dirty, like they have not been bathing in years.

‘ Looking at them and their clothes and what they are, i am thinking, i am in japan and the old period too. Oh lord why me.’

You look at the other side of you too. You saw people looking at you and whispering to each other.

‘ They are probably wondering what the hell is going on.'

You lean your head back and sigh.

‘’ HOLT, HOLT.’’ another man shouted.

The carriage came to a stop. You kinda fell in front of a cage.

‘’ ow’'

You look up and see that you were in front of the gate. The guard walked in front of the first guy.

‘’ What is the purpose of coming into the palace?’’

‘’ We just need to drop these pretty little lady off."

The other guard looks at you in the cage and raises an eyebrow.

‘’ She looks kind of dirty, to be a noble girl.’’

You look at them in shock. Not because he said you look dirty, but because you are supposed to be noble.

‘ First of damn rude and secondly did her say a NOBLE’

‘’ I promise you she is, they just rub dirty on her to make her seem less than she is. So we can't find her.’’

‘’ Well you guys can go in.’’ the guard said after having a moment of silence and separated to the side to let them in.

‘’ OPEN THE GATE.’’ Other voices were heard throughout the air.

The first guy started pulling the carriage again. Your eyes got heavy.

‘ I can’t go to sleep now, but I am so tired.’

But you fell asleep anyway.

You got woken up, by getting thrown on the ground.

‘ What's up with me getting thrown and grabbed today.’

‘’ Sorry sweet pea, but you didn't wake up, when we called you.

You glare at the second guy and get up off the ground. Once you were standing you saw that there were girls crying to their parents or some of them were in a group scare or talking to other people.

That is when the front doors open and a lot of guards walk out of them and then go into two straight lines by the stairwell. Then a nice looking guard came out of the door, then it closed again.

‘ He looks like he's more in the upper layer.’

He look around and he then pulls out a roll of paper out of his montsuki.

‘’ Ladies AND GENTLEMAN, NOW WELCOME THE BRIDE CHOOSING, NOW BOW FOR THE EMPEROR AOKI HINO.’’

Just then the door opened to a tall red-haired guy, he walked out of the room he was in. The door closed behind him.

He walked to his pillow seat and moved his layers of montsuki to sit down, once he had a maid pour him tea. When the maid was done, he picked up the cup of tea. He wave his hand for the nice looking guard to continue.

‘’ uhem.. LETS THE BRIDE CHOOSING BEGIN,’’
