Ryu could only hear echoes of running steps, hasty breath, and rapid
heartbeats that were as loud as thunder. Those sounds belonged to him. Ryu
was running in complete darkness, he couldn''t see anything. He didn't know
why he was running, nor where he was running to. All he knows was that if
he stop he'll be in great danger. He didnn't know what the fear was, he
just know that some kind of evil was chasing after him, and that he needed
to get away from it.
Suddenly a pair of snake eyes appeared, they stared at Ryu fiercefully.
Ryu's heartbeat halted and body froze. He felt an extremely strong push from
behind onto his back, Ryu lost his balance and fell into the eternal
darkness......the coldness felt like thousand knives cutting his skin and
into his heart.......
"AHHHH!!!!!" Ryu screamed and open his eyes.
"Ryu!!!" a familiar voice said.
"Sugi?" Ryu saw a pair of long beautiful eyes looking at him.
"Whew~~ it was just a dream....." Ryu felt relieved, yet his body was still
trembling with sweats.
It was in the middle of the silent night, Sugi and Ryu were laying next to
each other on the bed (just sleeping with pants on ^^;) and Sugi's arms
were tightly around Ryu; Thus, when Ryu was awaked by the nightmare, Sugi
would be waken immediately from sleep too.
"Another nightmare?" Sugi caressed Ryu's forehead gently.
"ah....yeah....." Ryu's heart beat was still a bit faster than normal
because the sense of fear was still remain vividly.
"Ryu...I'm really sorry...it's all my fault that I 've caused you such
dangerous 3 days ago, you have been total traumatized by the incident....I
feel really bad about that...."
Sugi understood how much the impact was for a normal human boy to gone
through such life-threatening horror situation in an unfamiliar place. He
felt that he can comfort Ryu with kisses and passion.
"No it's not your fault, I feel okay now!" Ryu smiled. He didn't want
Sugi to worry about too much.
"We'll overcome that together!" Sugi promised himself that he'll help
Ryu forget about the unhappiness.
"Sugi....."
Sugi kissed lightly on Ryu's lip.
"Now let's go back to sleep, and keep in mind that I'm just right here
next to you, so nothing can harm you!" Sugi said.
"Sugi..." Ryu hold Sugi tightly. Sugi put his arms around Ryu and kiss
him again.
Since the day of horror and the confession between the two, Ryu felt that
his life has been change dramatically. He finally found true love. It was
not an ordinary love between two friends, but a love between two lovers.
Even though it only has been 3 days since Ryu finally realized his true
feelings toward Sugi, he felt that he had already love this person for a
long time and he wants to spend the rest of the life with him. He
never felt that way before about anyone, nor he felt so much love from
someone else either.
Besides that, he feel something is unusal happening to him since that day he
was captured to the Dark Moon kingdom. He wasn't sure what they were, but
he felt very agonized. And strange nightmares began to haunt him ever
since. Those nightmares felt so real to him, he felt that he had those
feelings before.....or it's more accurate to say that he has experienced
such fearful feelings long long time ago. Ryu keep staring at the ceiling
thinking deeply while Sugi had already fell
back to sleep.
an errie blood red glaze shine on Ryu's eyes for a very short
second........
############################################################
Heavy mist were veiling over the pine tree forest, not even the silver moon
could shine through them.
The moonlight that shine through the thick pine leaves has casted 5 dark
silluoutes on the mist, they were wandering in the labyrinth-like forest.
The 5 shadows belongs to the Dark Prince and his four bodyguards.
"Are we there yet???" Shono was tired from walking all day.
"Becareful, our mighty prince will get mad if he hears that!" Rayzi
said.
"ah...but we had been circling around in this stupid damn place for the
entire day......" Shono couldn't help start swearing.
"hush!" vice-leader Rika warns the impatience one "Prince Atsushi, are
you sure the so-called the Great lengerdary magician Furu-Furu hides
here???"
"Of course," Prince Atsushi starred back at Rika as if he disapprove
any doubt, "this is the forest of Vanity. A great magician is known to be
live here. We'll not give up until we find him."
"that magician ah, what's so good about him ah?? Even our mighty prince
needs to come to such errie place to look for him?? He's probably some
freaking useless old man wor~~" Shono said.
"You silly, you haven't heard of the great magician FuruFuru? He had
served our King long long time ago and help strengthen our Kingdom by using
his poweful spells!" said the leader Kazushi, who is walking beside the dark
Prince Atsushi.
Prince Atsushi could still remember vividly the day he felt the warmth of
Sugi's lips and body, and how he left him in despair when Sugi admited his
true feelings. Atsushi could sense something sincere and real about the
affection that Sugi has toward that human boy, he couldn't believe that Sugi
would choose such an ordinary person over him.
"Ah....I look soooo much cooler and more beautiful than that ugly
boy, and my body is so much sexier than that little monkey......why ah???"
Prince Atsushi sigh.....
"maybe it's becoz you can't dan....." before Shono could finish his
sentence, both Rika and Rayzi casted a purple enery ball that knocked Shono
to unconciousness. "thank god we're fast enough....." Two big sweats drops
on their forehead.
"hmm! You carry that stupid pig!" Prince Achan command Rayzi.
"yes..."Rayzi carry Shono on his shoulder "#$%&#& Shono....."
"So my prince, you want to seek help from the magician to get Sugi back?
or you want to get rid of the boy! If it's the latter one, I'm sure we can
handle it....." Kazushi said.
"no I don't want to kill that boy." Atsushi said. "Sugi will love me
again while that boy will suffer great pain both physically and mentally!!
wahahaha! How dare he takes away my beloved Sugi-chan!"
Prince Atsushi flash back to a happy moment with Sugi that he remembered.
He and Sugi were in bath robes after shower. They were in the most luxury
room, drinking the best wine and the atmosphere was extremely romantic.
Sugi was lying on the bed seductively with his right shoulder of the bath
robe fall down and his pure white bare shoulder exposed. Atsushi enjoyed
every minute starring at the sexy beautiful Sugi, while he tried to hold his
nose bleeding from all the seductive poses. And then Sugi tilt his
beautiful smooth and white right thigh out from the bath robe and asked "am
I beautiful in bath robe?"
"Oh You are stunningly gorgeous!!!" Atushi replied excitingly. "How
about me?" Atsushi felt really "high".
"You??? Ah....so-so la, no one can compare with me! ohohoh~~" Sugi
laughed
"WHAT?!?!" Atushi shouted angrily. The mighty prince's pride is totally
hurt!
"It's the truth ma....your body proportion is wrong, your head is so
big, then you chest is.....and you legs..."
A purple flame suddenly strike toward Sugi, Sugi realized at the last minute
and dodge away, the flame hit the bed and it totally falls apart.
"Why did you attack me!" Sugi was angry.
"You.......I'm the prince of darkness...I'm the perfect one! How dare
you critized me!!!"
"ah.....how dare you attack me! Take my whip!!!!" as Sugi striked the
whip and the whip touched the prince.........
Atsushi's mind was now back to the reality.
"Ah.....what a "sweet" moment..........although we often ends things up
in violence....." Atsushi shake his head lightly and sigh.
"Prince, I heard from Imai-sama that it is very difficult to see the
magician. He will set up lots of difficult tasks for us to complete before
we could see him!" Rika said.
"Ah..don't worry, what is so difficult for the mighty prince me!"
"So are you ready my dear prince?" a high pitch voice suddenly echo
around the forest.
"Who is that?" Atsushi shouted and the 4 Dark moon spies immediately
posed in their fighting positions.
"Please follow Dazzle-kun." The distanced echo voice speaks.
"huh???"
A red weird bird-like creature with two huge eyes appeared suddenly and it
hopped to the east.
"oh let's follow it!" The 5 of them (Shono is awakes now) followed the
bird immediately, after passing through bunch of small narrow routes in
between the big pine trees, Dazzle-kun stops. There they saw a colorful
candy house, with the wall made with chocolates, the roofed made with cake
(with colorful candies on it) and windows were transparent sugar.
"nani?!??!?" The 5 grown men were shocked by such sight.
The dark chocolate door open automatically, there stands a cute little white
doll rabbit in red dress and ribbons that seems to be handmade .
"That's the magician FuruFuru??? He's a stupid rabbit made with cloth
and cotton!!" Shono screamed!
"I'm Rabbit-chan! Welcome!" (I forgot his actual name, it's that rabbit
Full draws all the time, I use it on my GT's index page, I'll correct his
name when I go back home this weekend).
"..................." 5 sweat drops of their forehead....
Five of them went inside, they soon realized how "magical" this house was,
it looked soooo huge inside that didn't match with outside. The interior is
definitly creepy and weird looking, totally different from
the playful candy house exterior. It was decorated with bunch of weird
lights and furnitures, like a fairy/grome house in fairy tales
(aiya.....won't waste space to describe the background la, hope you gals get
what I mean).
"Please drink tea" said a weird big head rat looking creative with 15
feets (kinda like an octupus) served tea to them. (see the last page of
Other Goose's lyrics book)....
"Thank.....you...." more sweats on those guys.
Soon they realized this house is filled with weird looking creatures, like a
lizard face creature sweeping the floor, a mushroom head cleaning the
window....
"wow....did we go to some fairy tale world or something....??" Rayzi
wandered his eyes around the room.
"man...this place is freaking weird!!" Shono seemed to be scare of those
cute but weird looking creatures.
"Welcome my dear prince" The strange high-pitch voice appears again.
"Where are you? come out!" Atsushi shout angrily and slap the table with
his hand. He felt being disrespected.
"Need not to be mad, my prince. I don't serve anyone easily, even
though I've served your father before."
"Then what do you want me to do ?" Achan asked.
"Are you willing to do anything?"
"yes!"
"First, you need pass the first challenge, beat my best fighter---Asaki
chan."
"Booom!" A loud exposion sound came off and the room suddenly covered by
white smoke, and it changed to a different room all of the sudden! It
became a red/orange weird room that kind resemble "hell".....Meanwhile, a
shadow appears in the middle of the room. It's a man with spiky hair and
huge long black claws on his hand.
"So you are the best fighter Asaki?" Atsushi stood up and walked to the
middle.
"Yes, and prepare to die!" Asaki's claws suddenly extended to grab
Atsushi's neck.
Of course, Asaki is no match to the mighty dark prince (skip some battle
description ^^;; since I'm no good in writing them) as Achan easily grab his
claw and breaks them in piece.
"Ahhh!!!!" Asaki cried in pain.
"Stop the useless challenge and show up!!!" Atsushi shouted.
"Very good my prince. You proved you physcial strength." The high
pitch voice spoke, "but you need to pass one more challenge, beat
Daina-chan!"
A tall slim figure appeared, it was a topless young man with short gel hair,
strangly he has very feminie makeup and a fake mustache that makes him
looked like a dancer from Club Extasy....
"Let me beat the hell out of you......" Atsushi prepared to strike with
purple flame....
"hold my prince, Dana-chan is my best dancer. You have to follow every
of his dance move and prove to me that you can dance better than him."
The Prince froze.......
"AH!!!!!!!!!!!! We're doomed!!!!!!!" The four dark moon spies cried.
"I can do it!!!" Atsushi won't give up.
"NO WAY~~!!" Shono yelled, "it is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE! No way! Uh-uh!
You'll NEVER, never never never never be able to... OUCH!!!!" Shono fell
unconscious to the ground as the Prince striked his head with his angry
fist.
"Let me try, my mighty prince," spies leader Kazushi spoke, "I'm your
shadow (you gals know those ancient Japanese Kings always have a shadow
samurai who dressed/looked like them), I'm obligated to take over your
suffers in times of great danger and difficulty."
"No Cheating!" The high-pitch voice warned suddenly.
"Don't worry," Atsushi said, "I can make it! My dance isn't that bad is
it?" Big sweat drops on each spies's heads.
Daina-chan start dancing beautifully as the music start (BGM: "Fat
December"), like doing high kick, spinning 4 times then did a kick, and then
jump again, then shake the body...etc etc....the poor prince has no talent
to follow such "difficult" dance moves as they were so professionally hard.
But in order to get back Sugi, Atsushi would not give up. He kept
trying...even though every single of his move is so awkward, silly, and in
all wrong rhythm. Seems like he was doing aerobics instead of "dancing".
(the four spies tried so hard no to laugh outloud). "ah...how much I wish
Imai is here....at least he has good rhythm sense Y_Y....." Atsushi thought
and face became as red as an apple.....
"Okay enough!" The high pitch voice speaks. "I'm entertained enough,
wahahaha......" suddenly the whole room changes again and now the 5 guys
found themselves being in a weird purple room. Inside stood a black strange
figure, a man with short orange hair and lots of strange makeup on his face,
high black gentleman hat and a black vinly outfit, and he's holding an
umbralla with his long spiky fingers. (gals, like the DADA video....)
"I'm the great magician FuruFuru, how may I help you my prince?"
"You know what I came for!" Atsushi already has no gas after being
humiliated so bad...
"What a simple matter it is..." Full spoke, "here's a love potion, let
him drink it and he'll be yours!"
"That easy??" Atsushi received the bottle.
"As for tormenting the boy, once the red hair belongs to yours, he'll be
suffer greatly as he love the red hair so deeply."
"Thank you!" Atsushi was happy again as he got the magical love potion
and smile wickedly, "let's hurry back and make Sugi drink this....."
"one extra thing you ought to know my prince......" Full suddenly
approach to Atsushi, "the one you thought is dead is still alive."
"Ah???" Atsushi and the four spies didn't understand what he's talking
about.
"The one who is as charming as you, and as evil as you." Full grinned.
Prince Atsushi suddenly realized what the magician was talking about......
"you mean.....my younger brother?" Atsushi asked.
"The Prince's brother? You meant the 2nd prince of Dark Moon Kingdom
who was claimed to die of sickness long time ago??" Rika shouted. "Prince
Atsushi killed him??" The 4 spies were shocked.
"hoho..so it was a big secret?" Full grinned, "it was I who told your
father about the prophecies --the 2nd prince of Dark moon would destory the
1st prince in the future. Seems like your overheard our conversation and
took your own action...."
"Where is he now?" the prince didn't mind the secret being revealed,
because he was more concern on the reality.
"On earth." Full said.
"How can I find him?"
"Well, my prince, he possess the same weakness as you. That's my last
sentence for today. Farewell!"
Suddenly Full turned into dust and disappeared in the air. The whole
room was covered by smoke again......."Boommmm!" The five men found
themselves standing in the Forest again.
"My brohter....same weakness as me...." Atsushi was in deep
thought.....because he couldn't think of any weakness he has since he's the
perfect mighty dark prince.
"So the second prince couldn't dance and has bad rhythm too!" The four
spies said.
"URGH!!! Stop reminding me that!!!"
The long forgotten memory of commiting a murder has always been repressed
deeply inside the Prince. Now the memory was vividly display in Atsushi's
mind as if it just happened yesterday. He was still a wild youth (btw, Moon
people's age span is diff. from earthling so don't worry about how old they
are). He remembered Imai had bow down on his feet and calmly told him the
prophecies he over heard from the King and Furufuru. Then Imai said, "I'll
serve no one except you, my prince," and he went on encouraging Atsushi to
get rid of his own brother. Fearing for his future and intimidated by
Imai's words, Atsushi decided to make his brother, whom he was never closed
to, disappear. There was a lake called "The Lake of Damnation", in which
people will drown to death and their soul will forever exiled from the Moon
Kingdom. With the help of two soldiers, they chased off the young second
prince to the edge of the lake. Atsushi remembered the fear in his
brother's eyes, as he drew his sword nearer to his face. At last Atsushi
push his brother's behind down to the lake and his body got suck down
immediately.
Then he heard hand claps, Imai came out from the dark and said "Well done my
prince! Don't forget this is a secret only between you and me........"
Atsushi and Imai immediately looked at the two soldiers who helped him, they
were begging for the Prince's mercy. The beautiful soldier with long blonde
hair begged, "Please spare our lives, our mighty Prince! We swore we will
never tell!" The soldier with long black hair said "We will
auto-disppear, please Atsushi-sama, don't kill us and let our souls
condemned to the human world!" Without mercy, Imai kicked the two soldiers
into the lake of Damnation and said "Shut the hell up!" Atsushi starred at
the quiet peaceful lake surface and turn his gaze to Imai.......
"It was long time ago....." Atsushi sighed.
"Oh, I remember something, " Rayzi said, "the day the second Prince was
gone, my collegues Junji and Kouichi disappear too. I wonder what happened
to them....."
Kazushi pushed Rayzi arm with his ankle to give him a "shut up" signal.
The five men then walked away and disappeared in the heavy mist.
