Hi guys I know I didn't update for a couple of weeks, but I'm here now.  I'll explain later at the end of the chapter.

Don't worry, It's not a tragic story or anything. 

and please tell me someone gets meme... 

Do you ever have moments in your life when you have absolutely no idea what is going on in your life anymore? We all do.  Sometimes you find the solution to your problem but wonder why the answer is an impossible one?  Or when you feel like your destiny is being decided for you by three old ladies who like knitting weaving and cutting? Or when you keep hoping that your crush will like you back but when he does, you can't help but wonder, why would he like someone like me?  

Well let me tell you.  Our dear princess is having some crisis of her own at this very moment alongside the one and only Shu Kurenai.  Her crush just as she is his.

*___*___*___*___*___*___*___*___*___*___*___*___*___*___*___*___*___*___*___*___*

It was 6:30 a.m. when Shu woke up on his own.  His eyes slowly fluttered open as he wondered why he woke up so early and what he is going to do today.  He suddenly remembered the event of last night and wondered why he made a move so quickly.  Oh my gods, I actually kissed her last night.  He internally began panicking and hoped she didn't think much of it.  Little did he know of the drama and chaos that is yet to come...

He decide to get ready since he was already awake.  He was buttoning his coat when the others started drawing their curtains and getting ready.  He spotted Valt in the crowd of his friends and gave him a friendly wave.  Valt waved back and gave of his usual toothy grin with a hint of mischief imbedded in it.  Everyone was dressing in their robes when a certain ravenette princess drew back her curtains, already fully dressed in shoes, tiara, everything!  Today, she was wearing a crimson-red dress with jewels embedded in it, silver three-inch open-toed heels and a silver circlet with the jewels in it with the same shade of red in it.  She was walking to her trunk to fix her hair (not that it needed fixing anyways) when she ran into Shu.  The albino prince became a flustered mess internally, but miraculously kept a calm composure on the outside.  

"O-oh, sorry Sh-Shu. G-Good morning!"  The princess said when she ran into him.  Her face was as red as the dress she was wearing and felt as fluttery on the inside as a beehive.  (Wut did I jus write??)                                                                                                                                                                                    

"Good morning Yuna." Shu said with a small smile.  Yuna noticed other facial features of his that she never had before.  That small smile that was always genuine, the way the corners of his eyes wrinkled a bit when he did, a perfect jawline, and... a scar?  

She only snapped out of her thoughts when she realized she was gaping at him.  She flashed him a smile and went to her trunk to fix her hair in her usual half-pony style.  Wakiya noticed that something is going on with the latter and is starting to feel more and more suspicious every minute.  They all walk to the dining hall to go and eat breakfast.  They all met up with Free, Zac, and Xander and began eating.  Well, at least some of them are eating.  

Yuna was picking at her food as her thoughts kept drifting back to the incident last night.  She was wondering about all the other times Shu seemed to care for her and can't help but wonder what sort of oversized sock The Fates are weaving for the two of them.  Her thoughts were interrupted by Wakiya and Rantarou fighting about who is the better warrior.  She can't help but smirk at the fact that those two claim to be the best when they act like children.  She then decided to butt-in.

"Wakiya, Rantarou... Ladies.  No need to fight, you're both pretty."  (Honestly, I use that line too much T-T) She said with a snicker and resumed picking at her food, acting as if nothing happened.  It took a few seconds for the whole table to process what she said.  When they did, all of them burst our laughing, some, even started rolling on the ground.  The two princes' (see the reference? Anyone? Like the Spotify podcast?  Well if you haven't you should try it.  It's about gay princes and really sweet.)   faces started turning as purple as Wakiya's robes and started arguing with her.  She started becoming more and more annoyed with those two when she finally decided to speak.                                                              

"Did you know that women live longer than men?  I have proof.  Wanna know why?" She said with a sweet voice.  That statement got the whole table's attention (even Free who was minding his own business the whole time) and motioned for her to continue.  She flashed a smile and had a chaotic glint in her eyes which is enough to make a murderer run screaming for their mother.  "Well, It's because women do most of the cooking... and the kitchen, is where the knives are."  She said as she started playing with her fork while glaring at the two boys.  The whole table silences immediately and the two were staring at her with wide eyes, when Lui broke the silence with his usual iconic maniacal laughter.                                                                                       "Well... who knew a princess could have this kind of side." Lui said with a smirk.  The whole table regained their composure and brushed off the matter, saying how bold that was.  Let's just say... Wakiya and Rantarou didn't speak or make eye-contact with her for the rest of the meal.  

Classes were a bore as usual when finally it was time for Yuna's favorite class: Mythology.  They all took their seats when the teacher started speaking when today's topic got the whole class' attention.                                                                                                                                                                                        "Alright class, today we will talk about the realm of the demons, monsters, oniis, whatever you want to call them and the dead.  The Underworld. (Aww 'sup, Hades!!)  That short speech caught everyone's attention.  And that made the teacher smile.  "The Underworld is a place where monsters, demons, and titans reside and reform when killed.  That is their home-country and also where the bad and undeserving souls go when they pass.  It is also where souls are being judged on their life for five days straight for the God, Doomscizor.   Some souls go there for eternal torture for what they have done and the lucky ones go and wander around for all eternity, not knowing who and where they are.  Some brave warriors have ventured there and never returned like Heracles and Orpheus, while some did.  There are even prophecies and people of the future who are to venture there, like one in particular.  He goes by the name Percy Jackson.  (Pls don't blame me, I cant help it!! Cuz he's my big brother.:)))  He is the forbidden demigod son of the God, Forneus.  It is said that he will return Zeutron's Bolt from the God who is accused of stealing it, Doomscizor." Now the class was speechless.  Especially Zac. Suddenly, Wakiya raised his hand for a question.                                                                                                                               "But miss, I thought that the Darklands was just and old tale?  And how can he be a son of Forneus, Isn't that god a fish?" Wakiya asked.  The teacher just gave a light chuckle.                                 "No, Prince Wakiya.  It is no legend just as all of our kingdoms' gods are no legends or myths either.  And all gods look like some sort of beast yes, but they have a human form too and sometimes go down to Earth to mingle with humans.  Pretending to be one of them for they are all so powerful hat they can just change the structure of their body and look like what they wish to be."  That statement silenced the snobbish prince and he sat back down.  "All the gods can take the form of a regular human, but will still radiate a godly aura.  The gods often sent their demigod children on a quest for them or a more-powerful demigod to make sure the task is completed for gods have boundaries while most heroes don't, if that's what you're asking Prince Wakiya." The teacher replied politely.  Wakiya just nodded curtly as he went back to reading the textbook and fidgeting with his pen.  "There are even some rumors that there are even people living in the Underworld, and none of them are suffering.  Living normal lives like the people of each of your respective kingdoms, and that they even have royalty.  People ruling there.  But no one has seen for sure because the entrance is guarded by the mighty three-headed dog, Kerbeus.  But of course, almost every historical quest has a prophecy involved in it." She explained.  The mention of a prophecy got the students even more curious.  But some certain students there thinks that their teacher is trying to drop a hint.

"Miss Kris, can you please tell us a prophecy that hasn't happened yet?" A student named Yamatoga Akira asked.  The teacher gave off another one of her smiles and started reciting one.

                                                     "Two royal heirs shall meet one day,                                                                                                                 and build a friendship no matter what people say.                                                                                                     But one shall perish by the hands of the dark,                                                                                                  and her hero and friends, on a quest they will embark.                                                                                               To revive her soul, in the Underworld they seek,                                                                                                and some unexpected friends, the heroes will meet.                                                                                                   Only then will they defeat the evil at hand,                                                                                                               against the darkness, the heroes will stand.                                                                                                          The girl must decide if she will accept her fate,                                                                                                       And decide if the boy, is who she loves or hates."

When the teacher finished, the whole class was at a loss of words.  They don't know how to react.  The others brushed it off as the teacher continued, but two certain people think that there is more to this prophecy than they know.  The teacher flashed a mischievous smile at the complications couple: Shu and Yuna, and nobody else noticed except for the two.

The rest of the day was uneventful, aside from the one-on-one battles at PE class where Mr. Trad made us do.  Valt was going against Honcho, Wakiya to someone called Silas Karslisle, Zac to his best friend named Akira, Shu to Free, and Yuna to Lui.  The battles were pretty fun, and it was tied between Lui and Yuna because the both are on around the same level, complicating it.  The last pair was Free and Shu.  The two went out on the battlefield.  Shu summoned his mighty axe and went in a battle stance.  Free is wearing his gauntlets where the tips of his fingers are as sharp as a kitchen knife.  Although since this is just training, Free is using the dull blades.  He went in a battle stance and waited for the signal.  The others believe this is going to be as uneventful as the others (except Lui and Yuna, of course), but little do they know what surprises await in this one.  Even if you're sitting on the bleachers, you can clearly feel the fiery determination radiating from the two.  Those two are not just fighting in this match, they are putting their bright passion and willpower to fight to win the princess' heart.  The teacher waved his big flag, signaling the start of the match as the two princes charged.
