19. The battle cry-2

***Continuing from the previous chapter*** 
      
         
       
     Taehyung and Nayeon were strolling the palace corridors. In midst of all the chaos they were the only ones who had smiles on their faces as they were completely unaware of the situation at hand. 

"You look really beautiful today, Nayeon," Taehyung said looking at her. 

Taehyung's complement made her blush. Today she wore a dress unlike the pants and robes which she wore everyday. 

She looked down and smiled. "Thank you, Taehyung. You also look very hands....." 

Nayeon's voice was overlapped by another harsh voice, "Taehyung, do you know where His Majesty is!!!? Why isn't he in his room?!!!" 

They both looked before them and found Yoongi running towards them. He was sweating and huffing a lot. 

"Master, why are you running like this?! Are you alright?" Asked Taehyung trying to hold a very flustered Yoongi. 

"You...... *huf*.. you... need... *huf*... you need to go.... *huf*....." Yoongi couldn't finish his sentence clearly due to all the running. He didn't like exercising hence sleeping was his excellence. 

"Master, calm yourself down first and then tell us what has happened," Nayeon said fanning Yoongi with her hands. 

After Yoongi's breathing got normal he spoke, "Taehyung, I saw a vision this morning where Jungkook actually becomes king but......"

"But what, master?"

"In my vision, he speaks of killing his own blood!! And I.... and I think it's Jimin!!" Yoongi said, looking at Taehyung. 

Hearing of the possible death of his dear brother, Taehyung got thunderstruck. He pushed away Yoongi's hands which were on his shoulders. 

"No! Jungkook would never do something like that!! He loves us so much! He would never think of hurting us!!" Taehyung shook his head violently. 

"I know that too, son. But sometimes, circumstances demand unimaginable things from us and we.......we can't do anything about it. Jimin and Jungkook are fighting in the court yard as we are speaking here. I don't know what the f*** is going on inside their head but what I do know is that.....if we don't do anything about it Jungkook is going to end up killing his own brother. And you very well know, he will kill himself before letting guilt consume him."

Taehyung was in tears hearing Yoongi's words. Apprehending his very own brothers who meant the world to him, fighting with each other made him shiver. 

"I have to stop them! They can't..... they can't fight!" Saying the last sentence Taehyung ran towards the courtyard. 

       

      

"Nayeon, tell me where's the king?" Yoongi asked Nayeon, hindering her from going after Taehyung. 

"He should........ he should be at His Highness Kim Namjoon's palace," Nayeon said staring at the direction where Taehyung went. 

"Okay. Come with me then." Nayeon went with Yoongi despite her reluctance.

Jimin and Jungkook were standing face to face. Both their swords were out of their scabbard. The fight would start any moment. 

"What you are doing is suicide, Jungkook! The royal army is forbidden inside the palace gates, you very well know that," Jimin said glaring daggers at the younger. 

"Well, then what about your army? Care to mention how you got such a big army?" Jungkook said mockingly. 

In reply Jimin just stayed silent. He surely didn't get the patch of army by honest means and he clearly didn't want Jungkook to know that. 

"I just want YN back. I will leave if you release her," Jungkook said, putting forth a settlement. 

"What do you mean if I release her? How would I know her whereabouts? You're the one courting her, you should know better than me."

"Liar!! I know you have kidnapped her.This is the last time I'm telling you, release her or I won't treat you as my brother," Jungkook warned Jimin.

"I did not kidnap her nor do I know where she is. Now, please Jungkook, take your army back to the barracks. At least for fathers sake, listen to me. You know this would hurt him so much." Jimin's eyes turned soft towards Jungkook. 
     
     
The incident happened a long time ago. It was on king Seokjin's wedding day with queen Kang Miyoon. A few members of the royal army betrayed their country and tried to assassinate the king. But Master Min Hyun-gi and Sir Jung Do-eun who were Yoongi's and Hoseok's fathers consecutively, sacrificed their lives to protect the royal family. They had started a fire in the courtyard to stop the assassins but they had lost their own lives in that same fire. 

As king Jin was deeply scarred by the incident he ordered for the royal army to never step foot inside the palace grounds. 

Recalling the wedding anniversaries when he would mourn and cry in the prayer hall rather than celebrating them, made Jungkook feel guilty. He didn't want to do this but his heart had made him take a rash decision and now he couldn't step back. 

"I'm sorry for that but I have no choice. I can only hope for father's forgiveness. Now tell me, you want to surrender or settle this the hard way?" Jungkook asked, holding his sword high up in the sky. 

"You brought this upon yourself, little brother. Forgive me for I shall show no mercy to you and I will greatly regret the outcome of your stupidity," saying the last sentence Jimin also held his sword in the air. 

"Charge!!"

"Charge!!"

Both the brothers screamed together and leaped into a fate which they couldn't escape. 

       

        

        
       
The fight was intense. Both the sides had elite soldiers. Rattles of swords and screams of dying soldiers could be heard from a distance. Nobody was ready to give up. 

Both Jungkook and Jimin fought valiantly. Fire of anger and resentment was burning in their eyes. They were in it for blood. 

Hoseok and YN came running in the battle field. He quickly pulled his sword out and fought with the soldiers in front to make way. 

"You should stay behind me. Your life is in danger, remember that," Hoseok warned YN and kept her behind him. 

But her mind was elsewhere. She could only think about Jungkook's safety. So, when he came in sight she left her secured place and ran towards him. 

Hoseok shouted after her but she was already out of his reach. He ran after her with a scared heart. Images of her dead body filled his mind. He didn't want Yoongi's vision to become reality. 

But when he came near Jungkook and Jimin, the bloodied scene sent a thousand daggers through his heart. He fell on his knees with tears in his eyes. 

Fate had played what was inevitable, there was no running from it. Now, 'Why' didn't seem to be the question but as to 'How' seemed to be the correct word. 
       
           
           
"Noooooooooo!!" Jungkook cried out trying to hold the blood soaked body that fell limp on the ground. Everybody stood there in silence stopping the battle. 

But the scene that upheld, the misery that went through the beholders, didn't stay quiet. It screamed loudly hiding itself from the place of the 'living'.

#I know .....I cringed too
#so the name of yoongi's and hoseok's fathers are unknown. So I had to make one at random. Hope you all wouldn't mind
