Third person POV
It was a pleasant and peaceful morning for the whole entire gang of Tanbarun. Beautiful and warm sunshine, calm winds, birds chirping happily, and silence brought everyone peace and relaxation-

"... NO WAYYYYY!"

*KAW KAW KAWWW*

The birds of the morning sunshine scattered, flying away from the deafening sound of a scream that echoed throughout the castle. Every maid, butler, guard, and staff were disturbed of their beautiful morning, startled by such loud and inhumane scream.

"THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" A voice of a young girl screamed, staring into the mirror with her red eyes growing and growing from shock.

*THUD THUD THUD AND BOOM*

The door slammed open with a ton of force, creating a loud booming sound of the poor door.

"AKUMA! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" Zen, Mitsuhide, Obi, Kiki, Raji, Sakaki, Shirayuki, and Ryu shouted, stepping into a dark and dim room to see no one.

"She must have been kidnapped! We should call the guards-" Shirayuki blurted out to only be shushed by Obi and his quirking eyebrows.

"Just play along!" Obi whispered to everyone.

"I'm sure Akuma can handle herself with whoever kidnapped her! We should report this immediately while she can withstand!" Obi suggested, making the group follow along with the flow despite being slightly confused.

"Raji! Sakaki! Can you inform the royal guards?" Zen orderly asked.

"Right away!" Raji and Sakaki walked out of the room, only to be standing outside the door.

Within the talking and orders being played out, Obi sneaked his way over to the opposite side of the bed where any blind eye wouldn't be able to see.

Looking over the edge of the bed, Obi saw Akuma covering her head with the missing bed sheet. He quickly pointed downwards to inform everyone that everyone can come closer as they did so quietly.

"Found you!" Obi shouted, pulling the sheet, but failed to reveal the hidden girl.

"NOO! F*CK OFF!" Akuma screamed quite girly, kicking the male who tried pulling off the sheet that covered her head.

"Mind giving me a hand here?" Obi asked, looking at the others who stared dumbfounded.

"Sorry Akuma, but I'm kinda worried about you right now." Mitsuhide said, sweat dropping while trying not to get kicked.

"NO! BACK AWA-..." Akuma shouts came to an end as silence overthrew her words along with everyone else's.

In the dim light, everyone saw a hint of pink. Not just any type of pink, but pink roots flowing down the back of the fierce tiger.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR?!" Everyone shouted, white eyes popping out of their sockets.

"💢💢💢💢... How dare you, fools!" Akuma raged, slowly standing up with two fists ready to fire away to someone's guts.

"Get... OUT!" The newly pink haired girl roared, eyes glaring with bubbling fury within her red eyes.

"But! Akuma-" Ryu began.

"I DON'T CARE! GET OUT! ALL OF YOU! GO!" Akuma yelled, grabbing two pillows and throwing it with full speed and strength. The pillows flew towards the group like a spear, unfortunately hitting Obi and Zen with Kiki barely dodging the pillow that hit Obi.

"OOF!" Both Obi and Zen crumbled to their knees.

"Zen!" Shirayuki called out, helping Zen stand with the support of her shoulder.

"W-wait! I d-do not appreciate you u-using the guest room o-objects as-!!!" Raji stuttered, bones and limbs trembling.

"GETTT... OUT!" Akuma screamed, panting heavily and sweating. Her face flushed ten times of red, swaying left and right.

"Hey! Do you have a fever?!" Mitsuhide yelled, trying to very carefully get closer to the dangerous tiger who was half his size.

"I don't...! Just... LEAVE ME ALONE!" Actually taking out her sword from magically out of no where, everyone screamed in fear and had pupil-less eyes, sprinting out of the door.

"W-when you're cooled down, maybe you should j-join us for br-breakfast!" Raji said before leaving the room, but a dagger was thrown past his left cheek, sticking into the wall behind him.

"G-goodbye!" Raji ran for his life.

"Prince Raji!" Sakaki went after the screaming male.

"Don't...bother me... today." Akuma said harshly with raged breaths, glaring at everyone. She stared at Ryu's concerned and innocent face for a good three seconds.

Akuma took a step back from everyone just to
slam the door shut in their faces. The last they saw of Akuma was her eyes, void of no emotions shown with a flushed face.

"... Is she on her womanly day of the month?!" Obi blurted out, losing breath from the held in shock.

"..." The whole gang stared at Obi weirdly and speechless.

"I guess there's no way to talk to her on a rational level." Kiki commented, sighing.

"I think that was one of the most terrified moments of my life." Mitsuhide and Zen said, feeling their legs and arms turn to jello.

"... How did her hair change so suddenly...?" Ryu asked, wondrous of this odd occurrence.

"Maybe we should talk about this further away from her room." Kiki suggested, immediately walking away to make the others do the same.

"I agree... Who knew that a pillow can hurt so much." Obi said, feeling his stomach where it has been shot by a cannon.
—————

"Now that we are far far away from the lion's den, we can talk more freely." Obi said, patting his stomach.

"I'm seriously worried about Akuma due to the fact that she looked extremely ill." Shirayuki said, sighing.

"I don't... I don't think Akuma has ever mentioned anything about having pink hair before, right?" Ryu asked, staring at the grassy ground that waved side to side with the wind's flow.

"Was she just too embarrassed of her hair color not suiting her personality?" Mitsuhide asked, curious which brought the others to sweat drop if that were really the case.

"Oh! This actually... I remember! When we first saw Kiroyuki, she had icy blue hair, but that turned to turquoise! Maybe Akuma is going through a phase of change like Kiroyuki did!" Shirayuki exclaimed.

"Oh yeah! I remember her hair color being the lightest I've ever seen before it changed to turquoise." Mitsuhide said, filing through his memory.

"Is it some kind of disorder?" Kiki asked Shirayuki and Ryu, knowing that they are the medical experts.

"There is a disorder where your hair can lose color to become dull or one where your hair turns white, but those cases do no match the symptoms with Kiroyuki or Akuma." Shirayuki explained.

"It can be a curse with the Hyoushou royal family again." Ryu commented, grabbing the attention of everyone.

"... Too bad Hanayuki isn't here." Obi said, remembering the stubborn, yet stunning woman.

"Obi... Are you perhaps in love with Hanayuki?" Zen asked straightforwardly, squinting his eyes.

"Gah!" Obi bit his tongue.

"That does explain a lot actually. (Lol)" Mitsuhide added on, chuckling his 'old man' voice.

"Since when did I say I am in love with her?" Obi asked, flustered.

"You just did." Kiki retorted, sighing.

"I think you two would look cute together!" Shirayuki chirped happily, clapping her hands together.

Ryu nodded his head.

"This conversation isn't suppose to be about Hanayuki and I pairing up! We're suppose to chat about the new pink haired girl who has the same temper as Akuma!" Obi shoved off the previous conversation cooly, making everyone give him the suspicious eyes.

"Fine." Zen grumbled, still knowing that Obi does have an interest with Hanayuki.

"Now that I can reflect on my thoughts without being disturbed by anything... What happened to Kiroyuki?" Ryu asked, staring at the green strands on the ground.

"Well, um. We just know that Kiroyuki is sleeping inside of Akuma?" Shirayuki stated which actually sounded more questionable.

"I would love to ask Akuma, but it's more of a sensitive topic." Mitsuhide sighed, rubbing his sore neck.

"Akuma also doesn't want any visitors right now either." Kiki said, remembering the screaming and yelling coming from such small child.

"...... Kiroyuki is still alive... Right?" Ryu asked, feeling his nerves tighten up as he gulped his salvia. He knew how this subject can cause extreme tension.

"... Let's just hope." Zen sorrowfully whispered.

Akuma's POV
Before the gang crashed into Akuma's room

I slowly awoke from my nonexistent sleep from the night of stars. I rubbed my eyes, annoyed and tired.

"It's too early... I didn't get a wink of sleeppp!" I grumbled, feeling the need to punch something or someone with golden orbs that always hold a teasingly smirk of pure annoyance.

I heaved out a long and irritated sigh, grumbling at the smallest bit of light that escaped through the closed draped curtains. I turned and tossed, but all failed to my annoyance once more.

"Help... Help... Help-"

"Just get out of my head!" I screamed, clutching my head in pain, kicking the sheets off of me.

"Just leave me alone..." I started to tear up, bringing my legs closer to my chest, curling into a ball.

I couldn't sleep... No. I didn't want to sleep. The voices have been wondering and bouncing off in my skull and mind, trying to provoke me to give myself away to the shadows.

I... I don't want to continue being that manipulated and murderous girl... I want to end that side of myself... I don't and cannot let that girl take this body of mines!

"... Maybe I should take a walk... Hopefully then I'll be free of those damned voices..." I dragged my legs off the edge of the bed, forcing my legs to support myself to walk.

I walked and walked. Step by step. I came to a stop at the mirror before me. The mirror that mirrored my horrid self that has grown over the fine years of misery.

I had no longer had the one appearance of Kiroyuki, but my own... I had the disappearance of blue hair, replaced with a bright color of pink.

I knew then that... Something horrific has happened to my other soul... Something traumatizing and painful.

"AHH!" A sudden jolt of pain and lightning ran up my spine, causing me to falter to my knees and hands. I panted and started hyperventilating from the lack of air that I so longed for. My eyes widened in fear.

"N... No way... NO WAYYYYY!" I shouted, not minding the volume of how broken and scared I sounded.

"T... THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" I trembled, seeing my hands go blurry from my vision.

*loud and rushing footsteps*

Immediately on instinct, I ran, not knowing where to go. I quickly grabbed the sheet I kicked off and wrapped it around myself and mainly my hair. I jumped on over to the bed's side, hiding in false hope of not being found.

"AKUMA! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" I heard multiple voices shout over each other, causing me to flinch.

I heard everyone talk about how I must have been kidnapped. Zen ordered Raji and Sakaki to inform the royal guards, but then I realized how I could no longer hear Obi's voice any longer.

*tug*

Well shit...

After the while yelling and screaming my lungs out, I managed to kick out everyone from my room with Raji screaming and running like a child. My breathing rhythm began going off track, my face felt blazing hot, and my limbs were freezing cold and beginning to turn sore.

"Gah!" I crumbled to the ground, clutching my side that ached in agony and agony.

"AHH!" I felt a blazing hot sensation cutting through my arm, leaving me to remain on all fours and helpless on the ground.

And there in my vision internally, I saw an all too familiar face covered in red. Red. Red. RED.

There was red all over the place and body. It was just spilling out of the body... An arm missing... A face baldy scratched... A body battered and full of cuts...

That girl in cuts and missing parts had blue hair whose eyes did not open.
