Magi: Always Be Here

See you one last time

The sun has set and the moon rose. Darkness took over the empire. The streets were silent, some are asleep but there are those who aren't.

Inside the castle walls Kougyoku is in the dining drinking but being begged by Ka Koubun to stop. Knowing that he himself could not stop the empress he went to go look for help.

He was roaming around the hall when he happen to see Judar and Hakuryuu on their way to their own quarters. He told them that Kougyoku won't stop drinking so they went to check it out.

Of course Hakuryuu went out of concern on what was happening to his sister while Judar tagged along to see the hilarious state that Kougyoku is in. Atleast that's what Judar thinks.

They entered the dining room only to see a drunk empress sitting alone with a half consumed alcohol bottle in front of her.

Judar: Hey old hag.

Gyoku: Juuuudar-chan? Hakuryuuuu?
              Ka Koubun why did you caaaall them?!

Koubun: Im sorry princess... Ah i mean empress but i really think you've drank enough.

Ryuu: He's right Kougyoku. I think you should go rest already

Gyoku: Nooooo! I don't wanna

Judar: This is why you're a better emperor. Look at how the hag is acting.
And she couldn't even hold her liquor. What a kid.

Both Hakuryuu and Koubun Ka glared at Judar which made him stop.

Judar: So what made the old hag drink anyway.

Koubun: Please stop calling the empress old hag. And as to why she was drinking... Well...

Gyoku: Wwwwhyyyyy you ask?! -She stood up and pointed on the wall like she was pointing at someone- "It's him! That brats the reason. How dare he just leave!? Aaarrrrrghhh! Once i get my hands on him he's dead meat!

Judar: What the heck are you talking about?

Gyoku: He dares to leave without telling me ahead of time?!

Kougyoku started to tear up and then started crying. "Wahhhhh!!!". She fell to her sit once more covering her face with her hands. Koubun approached the princess and so did Hakuryuu. They comforted her saying that everything will be fine.

Gyoku: Hakuryuu? Doesn't he want me anymore? Is that why??? Wahhhh!!

Ryuu: W-want? Uhhhh..

Gyoku: I knew it. That's why Aladdin was leaving and didn't tell me ahead of time. It was because he hates me and wants to get away from me as soon as possible.

Judar: The chibby? He's leaving?

Ryuu: Oh. So it was Aladdin after all.
            Uhhhh of course not. He will never hate you. Aladdin is just not that type of guy.

Judar: Nah. I think he had enough of you. Always complaining to him and crying and all those stuff. Atleast that's what he told me.

(What really happened)

Aladdin: Judar why do you keep calling Kougyoku onee san an old hag.

Judar: Cause it's fun.

Aladdin: You should stop. She's got a lot of things to worry about. You should be more considerate on her feelings.

Judar: Not gonna happen

Aladdin: What?! She's been crying and complaining on the things. Though she may act tough to everyone she is just as fragile.

Judar: It's typical Kougyoku

Judar started to walk away from Aladdin

Aladdin: Where are you going.

Judar: I feel like puking whenever your around. And your boring to talk with. Im leaving

Aladdin: Whaaatt?!

(Back to the four in the dining)

Gyoku: What?! He said that?!

Ryuu: N-no way. Aladdin wouldn't say such things

Judar: Oh i'm sure of it

Ryuu: Kougyoku! Where are you going

Gyoku: How dare he! I'm going to challenge him to a duel!

Before Kougyoku could open the door it opened revealing a young boy with blue eyes and blue braided hair. Aladdin.

Gyoku & Ryuu: Aladdin?

Judar: Chibby??

Aladdin: Hey Kougyoku onee san, Judar, Hakuryuu.

Ka Koubun: Don't ignore me!!

Before Aladdin could say another word Kougyoku took her sword that was placed nearby and attacked Aladdin

Gyoku: You brat?! You dare show your face to me?!

She pointed her sword on Aladdin

Gyoku: You... You............... Waaaaahhhhhh!

Aladdin: E-eh?

Kougyoku started crying again. She tends to become more emotional when drunk. And this happens rarely.

Ryuu: Come on Kougyoku. Lets get you to your quarters. You need some rest.

Kougyoku was quiet as Koubun and Hakuryuu helped Kougyoku.

Judar and Aladdin were left in the room

Judar: Sup Chibby.

Aladdin: What happened to Kougyoku onee san?

Judar: She's just mad at you at first. But now she's really pissed

Aladdin: I see....
                E-eh. But why?

Judar: I told her that you were complaining about her always complaining and crying to you

Aladdin: What?! I never said anything like that!
Wait... I asked you to stop teasing her because i was concerned. I wasn't complaining!!

Judar: Oh so that's why. Whatever. Im leaving.

Aladdin: Again?!

Hakuryuu stepped in after Judar left.

Aladdin: How's miss Kougyoku?

Ryuu: She's fine. She fell asleep as soon as she laid down

Aladdin: I see.

Hakuryuu: Why are you here Aladdin? It's very late.

Aladdin: Uhhh nothing! Heh-heh. I just couldn't sleep so i decided to fly around.

Ryuu: Yeah? Oh well, help yourself. I'll be going now.

Hakuryuu left and Aladdin sat on his magic turban and flew just outside the empress room. Kougyoku was sound asleep. Aladdin was looking through the window observing the empress as she sleep.

"It really pains me to leave. But, of this would guarantee yours and everyone else's safety then i must. I came here so that I could see you one last time before i go. I'll miss you, Kougyoku."

He casted a spell on Kougyoku. A spell that would protect her from all spells or weapons that is meant to harm her. Aladdin was sure that she'd be safe, especially that her brothers are there by her side but still, it would make him feel relieved if he protected her even if he won't be there.

"Please be safe until then. I promise I'll come back."

?: Well you better come back. If not, all the Kou family including me would hunt you down. Even if it means hunting and dragging you out of the great flow.

Aladdin turned around recognizing the voice

Aladdin: Judar?
