Selection (AkaKuro)

Chapter 2

Lazy ass author here! I'm sorry if I'm doing reallyyyy slow updates, I'm still working on my other Akakuro story too, you know Fated Love? Yeah that one. I wish you a good day.

-------------------

*Kuroko's POV*

Why am I wearing female clothing? That's because they think I'm a female. I saw someone with red hair coming into the room, our eyes met for a second. Red and gold... How unusual. I quickly looked away even though I was quite capitvated by the unusual eyes. They announced that that was the demon king, I never thought the demon king would be handsome. I thought he would look like an old monster man.

The king started going around and saying "your out." Leaving the maidens sobbing but left the room. He was getting closer to me, hopefully he wouldn't tell me to go since I need this for my mother. Maybe I'll fall in love too with someone.... "You are..." The king said looking at me, he tilts my head and with his hands. "Stay here."

By then end of it, there were only 6 maidens left, I'm not a maiden, but since they think so I counted myself. They looked aggressive but at the same time kind. I don't think I can do this mother.... The king gave his speech but kept looking at me, I probably should act elegant like mother taught me! I straightened my shoulders and back. He smiled. His smile is to DIE for. All I did was smile back and his face turned a bit pink. I wonder why.. I looked at the other maidens.. Some glared at me and some were tryna keep their murderous aura in. Aggressive.

"Now.. Let's go over your names.. Shall we?" Asked the King.

The maidens simply nodded as well as me. "I am the demon king, Akashi Seijuro." He then pointed at the girl with deep brown hair. "I am Wallace Yuki.."

"I am Sakura Nura" said the girl with pink hair. Then it was me.

"I.. Am.. Kuroko Tetsuya, an ice user." I decided to not mention my other ability, using shadows. They would eliminate me wouldn't they?

"I am Yukkige, a Cherry blossom user."

It went on and on, in my opinion. I quickly slipped out while no one was looking, of course I used my prescene. I will look around using my low prescene so no one will spot me. And I may seem suspicious now, but I am not. I walked the halls full of paintings. Some looked old, others looked younger.

Must be the time the pictures were drawn. Footsteps... Someone was following me. Am I caught? I turn around. No one. I start to run, they run after me, their footsteps getting louder and louder.

I turn around and see the King chasing me. "Stop!" I stop. I do as I am told, it is only the king. Why was he following me? What about the other maidens? He turns me to face him, "who sent you? Whats your purpose? Why are you wandering alone?"

"Second in commander sent me to become a concubine and I'm wandering alone to take a look at this place." I answer calmly. The floor beneath me started freezing, I was thinking of my mother the Yuki-onna. Humans call her a 'youkai'. The king's stare stopped the spread of ice. "I-im sorry.." I say looking at the floor.

"You should be..."
