Part 3

Another voice: She's just using you for your last name~ she'll think that you're a powerless freak.

Astro starts to tear up as she puts her hands to her head and her eyes widen

Astro: I-illum- i-i-

Another voice: You call yourself a queen? Pft pathic!~ You're just street junk that got lucky~ She doesn't want to be friends with you~ she wants money, not you~

Astro falls to the floor

Astro: S-stop it please- as she yells Illumi and a few sparks turn into a fiery fox that quickly turns into a male and his hair flows down as he kneels to the ground

Rose: Astro! Are you ok!?

Illumi: Young master!

Astro: T-the v-v-voice's-

Illumi: They aren't real Astro

Astro: B-but they sound r-real. I-I can't call myself the Q-q-queen i-if I ran away.

Rose: Voices? Queen? Astro a-are you ok? S-should I leave?

Iliumi: Rose.. please don't leave I only got her to calm down by chance

last time, I need another person important to Astro.

Rose: Well, she seemed pretty calm..well- more than calm when we were talking.

Astro: starts to cry T-The voices are r-right I shouldn't be queen... if I ran away from them.. I CAN'T BE QUEEN IF I'M ROAD KILL she raised her voice at this.

Illumi then took off her eye patch revealing an emerald green eye thats wide and has a paw print pupil and right underneath the eye and devils tail that looks like a small tattoo

Astro: Illumi you don't get it.. You're only the personal butler

Rose: I don't know what to do..what happened to her? Why is she saying this?

Illumi: sighs My royalty, Astro Kozume, you were ranked most powerful in the world now you think you're the world's weakest??

Astro: B-but I am. I was only crowned queen because of chance..

Illumi: Do I need to recite the crowning ceremony?

Astro: It won't help that I'm weak

Illumi stands up and coughs into his hand "Ahem"

As Illumi turns into his firefly-fox form, a crown appears and he mimics different voices.

Old queen's voice: Ms Kozume are you sure you want to take on the role as the Queen of the Demon Foxes?

Illumi impression of Astro: Y-yes your majesty I will take on role of Queen and be the most powerful one.

It seemed like time stopped.. The clock stopped ticking, the wind stopped blowing, the Sakura tree stopped blooming, and their petals stopped falling. As Astro's paw-printed eye shined an even brighter shade of emerald, the paw print in her eye turned a snow white and the devils tail under her eye glowed a shadowy smoke red and her hair which was previously in a small thin ponytail with the black streak hidden came undone as her silver silk hair it seemed to slow down even more.. Time became unrecognizable but beautiful Astros hair was free flowing, like the soft summer wind the small waves in her hair were as soft as feathers and as fast as time slowed down it returned to normal, the sounds of the clock ticking, the flow of wind.. The leaf's in the summer gaze have sakura trees continuing to bloom the warm summer breeze..
