Darkness had falling as, Niji Hikari was in the king's bedroom chained to the bed. She was sitting down next to the bed weeping until, she suddenly heard a knock on the bedroom door.
"May Lady?" Niji Hikari looked up to see the king's brother Seiran standing there with a worried look on his face. He steps forward and comforts her. "Please tell me. What happened to my brother?" Seiran rests his hand on her shoulder. Niji Hikari slowly looks up at him sucking up air. "Well, my friend Kuro brought me to her sister's house to make a special love potion for the king. So he would pay attention to me but I never expected for him to act this way." She rubs her face. "I wish I knew why."
"Well..." Just then, Seiran was cut off in his conversation seeing the bedroom door open as, he saw his brother the emperor standing there with a grin on his face. His eyes had pink around them, his hair was messy, he sweated from head to toe, and his clothing was torn.
"SEIRAN?!" Ryuuki Shi cried making fists. Seiran looks up at him with concern while, Niji Hikari turned away sobbing. "Your majesty?" Seiran was just about to confront him but before he could, Ryuuki Shi yells at him. "WHAT DO YOU THINKYOUR DOING HERE?!" Ryuuki Shi says making fists with his eyes narrowed. "ARE YOU TRYING TO SLEEP WITH MY FIANCE?!" "But your majesty?" Seiran says putting up his hands feeling scared. "We were just..." He was cut of by Ryuuki Shi. "YOU WERE JUST TRYING TO SLEEP WITH MY FIANCE BEHIND MY BACK! YOU UNLOYAL BROTHER! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!"
Ryuuki Shi immediately takes out his sword. "I'LL FIGHT YOU FOR HER AFFECTIONS THEN!" He began to swing his sword at his brother with anger. Seiran quickly back up with fear taking out his sword. "RYUUKI?! PLEASE!" Seiran said with worry. "STAY AWAY FROM MY FIANCE!" Ryuuki Shi yelled at the top of his lungs. His face turned red as, he only began to sweat harder. Ryuuki was just about to end his brother but before he could strike him. He heard a sweet voice. "RYUUKI?! STOP!"
They both turned to see Niji Hikari standing there with tears running down her face. She looked as if, she had lost a loved one already. Niji Hikari looked at him weeping with sadness. "IF YOU WANT SEIRAN TO LEAVE! FINE BUT DON'T HURT HIM! HE'S DONE NOTHING..." She was cut off by Ryuuki Shi. "NIJI HE!" He was cut off by Niji Hikari. "I HAVEN'T ASKED FOR ANYTHING THIS WHOLE TIME I'VE BEEN YOUR FIANCE! JUST PLEASE! LET YOUR BROTHER GO!" Ryuuki Shi turns back to look at his brother with anger. "For the peace of my fiance, I'll let you live but if I never see you again. I will NOT HESITATE TO SLISE YOU TO PIECES! RRRRRR!" He strikes Seiran un his shoulder causing him to bleed. Seiran was leaning forward trying to catch his breath. "NOW LEAVE US!" Seiran puts his sword away exiting the bedroom leaving Ryuuki Shi and Niji Hikari alone.

Seiran was walking down the hallway leaning forward resting his hand on his bleeding shoulder. "SEIRAN?!" Zara steps in with worry with Kouyuu Li from behind her with worry on his face. "Seiran? What happened?" Seiran looks at them with concern on his face. The blood from his shoulder continued to bleed. "My brother Ryuuki attacked me and exiled me. Kouyuu Li steps in comforting him. "Seiran? Meet us at the tori gate. Zara told me everything that happened between her and her friends Warai, Kuro, and Niji Hikari. Something must be done." Kouyuu Li crosses his arms watching Seiran walk walk away. Zara crosses her arms looking down at the ground feeling annoyed. "I knew this was a bad idea."

"May little cherry blossom." Ryuuki Shi said cuddling up with Niji Hikari on his bed. Niji Hikari looked away feeling terrified. She shook from head to toe. She slowly closes her eyes and began to sleep.

The next night, Ryuuki Shi was sitting down on his throne with Niji Hikari sitting on a throne beside him. "Look?" Ryuuki Shi takes out a small cherry blossom tree branch. "This is for you." Niji Hikari looked at the beautiful pink cherry blossoms with sadness in her eyes.
One of the officials looked up at him. "Do you think this will be a good idea?" OF COURSE!" Ryuuki Shi responds.
Just then, the doors opened and they all looked to see Zara, Kuro, Warai, and Shuuei Ran standing there. with wine. They rush up to him. "Your majesty." "HEY?! I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF!" The emperor was cut off my Shuuei Ran. "But You've got to try this." He hands the wine over to him. "This better be good." He picks up the glass of wine and began to drink it.
Ryuuki Shi finished and then all of a sudden, he rushed out of the room and just outside, he collapsed onto the ground. Warai and Kuro came after him and quickly picked up the insane king bringing him to his bedroom and locking the door.

Zara, Seiran, Kouyuu Li, Shuuei Ran, Kuro, Niji Hikari all gathered around one another. Shuuei Ran looks at Zara with a smile. "Zara? Take Niji Hikari, Seiran, and Warai with you. We'll handle that crazy king." He steps towards Zara. "Farwell for now my precious thorn. He pats her on the head. "KI" Zara throws him to the ground. "DON'T EVER TOUCH ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!" She makes fists. "Wow." Shuuei Ran stares at her with love in his eyes.
Shuuei Ran turns to Warai narrowing his eyes. "If you ever touch her. I'll make you regret it." He smiles peacefuly as, they all waved there goodbyes but before anyone could leave there hear two voice's. "DON'T FORGET TO INCLOUD US!"
They looked to see Ryuuren and Jyuusan come rushing towards them. "Something's wrong with the king and we wanna help too." Jyuusan said with worry. "I'll stay with you Shuuei and Ryuuren" "Of course." Ryuuren Ran said taking out his flute. "Please don't." Zara said. Ryuuren with dissapointement. "Fine but I'll do it along the way." "RRRRRRR!" Zara makes fists as, they all headed out with Ryuuren playing his flute.
Niji Hikari looked back at the palace with worry. She felt completely sorry for the emperor. If only she didn't try so hard. This would've never happened. Will the emperor ever get better? Will she ever get better? Will things ever be the same again?
