Down the hall form the library. Hakuryuu, Liling, and Kouha laid across Hakuryuu bed, swigging their legs in the air, watching the puppets move around the little puppet stage, telling a story of a brave lion. Call Simba

Hakuryuu sat up quickly. He tugged the blanket off Kouha, to drag over Liling on the other end. She giggled into her sleeve, watching him lay back down. Kouha blew air out of his mouth. A small lock of hair rising and falling form his check. Kouha got bored playing with the blankets under him

''Prince Hakuryuu?''  A guard knocked on his door before entering ''Emperor Hakutoku wishes to see you in the Throne room. Prince Kouha, your father wants to see you in the far West Hall'' The two princes's sighed getting off the bed. 

Hakuryuu held Liling hand, helping her off the bed swell ''I'm going to see Lady Chyou, see you two later on. To finish the play?'' Hakuryuu played with his fingers nodding ''Can I braid your hair?'' Kouha pulled on her sleeve ''Sure thing Kouha. Let's make it a promise'' She held out her pinky finger

''Yeah!'' Kouha joint they're together. The guard smiled under his marks, holding the door open for the kids. They all spelt of down different paths. The guard took his post at the south doors, holding his spear tightly ''I feel like I just did something every wrong'' His partner on the other side of the door, rose a brow ''What do you mean?'' ''I've got this gut feeling, something isn't right''

Liling skipped down he hall, past Royo talking with a maid holding a letter ''This is form Emperor Hakutoku'' Royo opened the letter reading over the words ''Have you red this?'' ''I was told not to... Is it something important'' Royo chuckled ''Not at all. I'll hand this off this off to them. Goodbye'' The maid bowed, leaving

Royo knocked on the door, looking around the hall before speaking ''I'm coming in. Put your clothes on'' Royo turned the door handle ''At least give us a minute!'' Mei through her shoes at the door. Rolling her eyes, Royo waited at the door

Hakuyuu and Mei scuffled to put their clothes on. Getting his pants up to his hips, Royo walked in. Mei covered her chest quickly ''Royo!'' ''Shh. I have this for you'' Hakuyuu read over the letter. Both of them turning so Mei could get changed

''Come to the Throne Room. It is time'' 

That is what was written on the note ''Mei. It's time'' Royo got the sword form under the bed. Giving them up to the two royals ''I love you'' ''Love you too'' They muttered to each other walking out the door

Royo followed behind the soon to be Emperor and Empress. Mei stopped suddenly, nearly tripping over a small black cat. it hissed loudly, running away down the hall. Mei sighed catching up to Hakuyuu. More and more cats popped up, mewling at her. The last cat she saw before the Throne room doors, had large yellow eyes. The black wasn't slits but round. Like human eyes

''Hakuyuu I have a and feeling'' ''Hmm? Is it your stomach again?'' Hakuyuu rested his hand on her belly ''No... I'm mother just talked about omens. I really wished I listened to her know'' chuckling softly shaking off his own bad feelings, he kissed her temple ''it's going to be all okay''

''Brother!'' Hakuren called form the left hall ''You have been called here too?'' Hakuyuu let go of Mei stomach ''Yes, we both have. Why didn't you take the southern halls?'' Madads sighed, wishpereing in Royo ear ''The doors where locked. I think it is something important father wishes to talk about''  

''I can smell something off in the air'' ''The palace is fair more quiet then it always is'' ''Agreed'' Hakuyuu opened the doors for them all

''Father?! It is me and Hakuren!'' Mei stuck to the back. The witch rose her sleeve to her crocked red lips. Her light blue eyes glazed over. Evil content filling them. She held a cannel in her other hand, standing over a body covered in oil and blood ''Oh my dear children, I'm glade you made it''
