OK so this chapter I can put the divider in the middle but not last chap???

~·~·~·~

Tenjiku had a shake in their hierarchy. Just a few days ago, Izana held a meeting and introduced a new member in their ranks. No, not just one, but two new members. The first one was someone they never expected that Izana would get his hands on.

But surprisingly, he was more than willing to come.

He was none other than Toman's very own intelligence officer, the one said to be the one controlling Toman in the shadows, and the smartest person in the gang, Kashi.

And, the second person, was someone that they didn't even think Izana would have.

That someone being a 'Queen'. I mean, if Izana's the supreme king, the heavenly kings his servants, of course, he had to get himself a queen.

Most were opposed to it, since A, it was a girl. B, they don't really like other people getting on with their business. But with nearly all of the heavenly kings agreeing to it, they kept their mouths shut.

This 'Queen', is supposed to be someone pretty strong. And also, if it wasn't for this 'Queen', Kashi would never have joined Tenjiku.

In Izana's words, Kashi is the queen's personal heavenly king.

Kisaki and Hanma were both following Izana around, discussing the next steps in their plan. Now with Kashi on their side, it'll make things a lot easier for them, so much easier.

Well, it's easier with only Kashi on their side. But with this mysterious person that Izana brought, things might get a bit shaky. That is why Kisaki has been trying hard to chase after the man and ask him more questions about the so called queen.

But of course, Izana kept on insisting that he shut his mouth or else he'll feed him his eyeballs. And yes, he will do that, but Kisaki needed to know. Izana and the heavenly kings have been hushed on this queen's identity.

So many questions... and his answers finally came.

"Tadaa!! Something to brighten you up!"

Kisaki felt his blood run cold when somebody was suddenly standing in front of him, a face mask on her face. There was a girl in front of him, hand held out after placing what felt like a hair clip on his head. He was frozen all over, he didn't even realize when she stood in front of him, or even have time to put on the clip.

"Hey, hey, Ran, Rindou! Don't you think he looks better with it?" She asked, looking back at the two boys who were walking behind her, holding onto a few paper bags. The two boys nodded, both of them had hair clips and accessories on their hair. "Hey, boy, next time... put a smile on your face. Brighten up!"

"Hm? What are you doing here?" Izana immediately walked up to the girl, pushing Kisaki away. He looked pretty concerned and also mad at the two boys behind the girl. "I thought that we would meet up before lunch."

"Well, I got bored!" She replied with a laugh, hugging the boy by his waist. "I looked around the place like you said, and I got myself some nice things too! But I got bored with just spending time with those two. So I went to meet you!"

"I see..." Izana sighed, but still, he smiled when he saw the girl's expression. She looked pretty happy to be with him. "How did you even- Actually never mind." Izana laughed before pulling the girl close to him and giving her a kiss on the head. "Well, since you're here, why don't we go get lunch?"

"Okay!" She replied with a cheery voice, running over to the tall guy and taking him by the arm, and dragging him over to Izana. Before they left, she turned to face Kisaki, "I'm gonna be taking Izana and Kakucho! You go do your thing..." She paused for a few moments, the look on her eyes turning menacing, and the next words she said sent shivers down his spine, "And keep your nose out of my business, Kisaki Tetta."

Izana laughed quietly as he and Kakucho were dragged away by the girl, a small hop on her step.

"...Who... was that?" Kisaki questioned himself, trying to figure out who the girl was and what kind of position she had to be dragging the two highest authorities of Tenjiku. "...The queen."

Something about that girl felt familiar. She resembled someone, and her tone of voice when she called out to him, by his full name, sounded very familiar. While he was thinking of her identity, his partner already figured it out.

'That was Kashi alright.' Hanma thought with a small amazed smirk. He was intrigued. What might his ex be doing here? And what kind of connections does he or she have with Tenjiku? '...So then... I'll pay... whatever gender they're at, a visit later.' [at least he ain't rude]

'Ahaha, Hanma knows!' You thought to yourself with a small laugh as you arrived at a restaurant after a while of picking out which ones you'd like to eat in. Izana and Kakucho did have you pick what you'd like the most. 'Hmm... I wonder...'

You leaned back on the chair, staring at the menu with a smile.

'I wonder... Will Hanma snitch on Kisaki about my real identity.' He knew who you were, well, as Kashi anyways. He knows that you were a girl, he's had his hands on you many times now, but that's as far as he went. 'Are you waiting for my reaction, Hanma?' [??hands on who?]

"(Y/N)." Your seat suddenly moved with force, a hand gripping your arm tightly. You felt fear run across you for a few moments with the glare that Izana gave you. "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing much!" You answered with a smile, hugging Izana on his neck, immediately defusing his slowly rising rage. "I was thinking of going to the aquarium! I really want to see dolphins!"

"Dolphins?" Izana asked, pulling back and opting to scoot closer to you. You nod, giving him hopeful eyes. Seeing you look so cheerful made him smile himself, "Alright, how does a date tomorrow sound?"

"Great!"

The Haitani brothers gave each other an amused smirk, amazed by your control on their leader. Truly, the only people who can control Izana are Kakucho and (Y/N). And from the looks of it, Izana was more than happy to let you be.

Perhaps, if you wished for it, you could have him bow down to you.

˚✩ ⋆｡˚ ✩ °∘❉∘° ˚✩ ⋆｡˚ ✩

"Lunch was nice~" You hummed in delight, marching down the street with the Haitani brothers trailing behind you. They're posing as your guards, not just to protect you, but to watch your every move. "Hey, hey, where's the arcade! I wanna play before going back home!"

"Yes, follow me!" Ran answered with a cheerful smile.

You've told Izana so many times that you don't need guards. He knew that you could fight well and could definitely protect yourself on your own, you even have Tenjiku members all around to order. But when he insisted on having them for precautions, you knew that he needed someone to keep an eye on you.

'Well... at least it's different from the future.' In your vision, you weren't even with Izana at this point of time, and you weren't freely walking around the streets of Yokohama. Izana had you under lock and key. '...It's changing... I'm changing it...'

Slowly but surely, you're able to change some aspects of the future. It's a small change, but with Izana having his hands on you, hopefully, this will stop him from ever targeting Emma.

And that will stop the domino effect.

"Tadaa!" Ran showcased the large arcade filled with games, claw machines, prizes, and even a food bar. "So, my dear queen, what do you want to do first?"

"Hmm..." You looked around the place, checking out the claw machines. You wanted to get something to give to Izana and Kakucho. "This one! Rindou, get me this one!"

"What?" Rindou walked up beside you with a dissatisfied frown, looking at what you were pointing at. A small keychain plush from an anime. They somehow remind him of the keychain plushies hanging around in your room. You really did have a habit of collecting them. "Fine. How much do you want? And which ones?"

"Just get as many as you can." You answered calmly, standing to the side and watching as the boy worked. This game is rigged, obviously, so while he's struggling, the guy following you will come and approach. 'So then... Hanma, I'm inviting you right now.'

The moment you left the restaurant and separated from Izana and Kakucho, you were followed by Hanma. It's a surprise that the Haitani brothers haven't noticed them, or they have but didn't find him to be a threat to take care of him.

But then again, you know how controlling and obsessive Izana is right now. You could be wrong, but if you were Izana, and you have someone you love to the point it's toxic, you'd want to make sure that no one gets to her other than yourself and your closest friend, that friend being Kakucho.

In the future that Takemichi came from, Izana completely took control of your life. You lived like a puppet, or rather, a little doll. It was a depressing life, really. You wouldn't want to go through it again.

So... you'll do your best.

"AGH!! What the fuck is this game!?" Rindou raged after failing for the sixth time, making you laugh. Ran was teasing his brother, and you joined in, calling him a little baby for not being able to get one thing. "Shut up!! I'm doing my best here!"

"Well, if you can't do it, it's fine." You added with an innocent smile, "I mean, not everyone can get one. Only three I know have ever consistently won in these crane games."

"Really?" Ridnou grumbled, putting on more money. "And who might that be?"

You snickered, stepping back and looking behind you where he was standing. He was right outside, leaning by the entrance and smoking a cigarette. And almost immediately, Rindou placed you behind him, Ran walking up to the boy.

But you walked past Rindou, passing by Ran and ignoring their warnings to face Hanma. You two faced each other, both having knowing smiles on your face. The other two could feel the sinister atmosphere between you two, but you two were completely calm.

"So, what brings you here, Shuji~?"

"How 'bout you, Hifumi?"

You chuckled, leaning closer to him, and almost immediately, he had his hands placed on your waist to drag you closer, way too close for the rules Izana gave the Haitani brothers.

"So, princess, you're a queen now?" He asked with a laugh, leaning closer to your face to the point that only a small move and you two would kiss. "You jump pretty fast, don't you? And here I thought you were loyal to him."

"Well, who knows? Say, wanna play with us?" You pulled back, making the boy frown at your actions. Oh, he was craving for you, you could tell. Perhaps... a second chance wouldn't be so bad. "Get me a new toy, will you?"

"Sure." He shrugged, throwing the rest of the cigarette on the ground before putting it out and following you inside the arcade with arms linked. "Sup. Nice meeting ya here."

"Well, well, I didn't know you two knew each other." Ran hummed, stepping in between you two and removing you from him, keeping you right next to him. "Although I should've expected. But, even if you two are... friends, we've got strict orders to keep her away from any other guy that Izana didn't permit to get close to."

"Hm, you sure got a chokehold on the king." Hanma commented before standing in front of the machine. "Now then, I guess a small bit of entertainment wouldn't hurt, now would it?"

"...Yes, you're right..." The way Hanma gave you a knowing glance told you that he's willing to let you have another chance of letting him be your puppet.
