Some, okay, most of the scenes are from the movie K: Missing Kings since this is set during it.


Chapter 3

Anna!" Yata called the little girl's name. Worry and shock were clear on his voice as he saw the girl caged like a bird in a golden cage situated in the center of the room. "You bastards! What're you doing to Anna?!" His anger flaring.

"Oh, what an energetic boy." The purple headed flashy man, Mishakuji Yukari, said. "We're not doing a thing." He continued as he placed his left hand on the back of his neck. "Just asking the cute little bird for a small favor."

"Cute little bird!" The green bird, Kotosaka who was standing on top of the cage and under the crown looking thing, repeated.

Red flames started to engulf Yata's skateboard, his anger continuing to flare up. "What?!" He shouted as he bolted forwarf riding his skateboard. 'How dare they treat Anna like a caged bird?! Anna had enough of that!'

Screaming, Yata aimed to punch Yukari in the face but the man easily dodged the attack.

"I'll leave the hotheaded one to you." Yukari ordered to his fellow green clansman who was wearing a ninja garb.

"Understood." The ninja answered then phased through the floor and reappeared beside Yata who was skating away from Yukari. Douhan grabbed Yata's head then used her aura to manipulate the physics of the floor and proceeded to phase through it dragging Yata with her.


Yata kicked the floor and sped towards Douhan. He jumped forward after flipping his skateboard upwards and aimed at Douhan's head but the ninja easily countered with her sabres.

'What a creepy guy.' Yata though as he continued to skate towards his opponent. Suddenly, Douhan charged towards him with her sabre about to slice Yata's neck. Fortunately, Yata ducked on time but was not ready for the kick that followed. As the kick connected to his gut, Yata flew backwards back into the room where Anna is, dropping just in front of the cage.

Yata winced in pain as he tried to stand up and picked up a metal rod that was conviniently beside him.

Anna grabbed the bars of her cage as she worriedly called Yata's name.

"Heh. Don't worry. I'm just upping the odds in his favor." Yata said as he struggled to stand up using the metal rod he picked up as support.

"Then I'll take those odds and send you to hell." Douhan said as she appeared behind Yata. She was about to lift her weapon when flames came flying at her causing her to back away.

Yata turned to the source of the attack and couldn't fight the smile that crept to his face. "Kusanagi-san!"

"Ya." Kusanagi waved and walked towards them.

Yata was about to run towards the man when he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his stomach. He looked down his stomach and saw red staining his shirt as a sabre piercing through him from behind. The sabre was abruptly pulled out causing more blood to gush out. After a few seconds, he fell on flat on the slab of stone where he was standing and red liquid... his blood flowed through the cracks of the stone.

'This stone...' He thought the slab of stone looked familiar before unconciousness engulfed him.


A barren land.

"This place." Yata said as he looked left and right. It was the same barren land he kept seeing in his dreams. "Another dream."

All of a sudden, flames ignited out of nowhere and circled around him. Seeing the flames, Yata remembered what he needed to do. "Anna!" Yata called the little girl's name. He needed to save her. He was frantically looking for a way out when he heard a rough voice.

"You can't leave this place." The voice said.

Yata looked in front of him and saw the large Yatagarasu made of flames from before. "What? What do you mean I can't leave?! I have to save Anna!" His voice rising in tone, not bothering to think anymore as to why he can now hear the crow's voice.

"You can't leave until you complete the ritual." The crow calmly said.

"You think I care about a stupid ritual right now?!" Yata looked around for a route of escape but found none. He decided to push through the flames but the immense heat pushed him back to the center. "Damn it!" Yata cursed out loud that's when an idea hit him. 'Maybe if I feel pain I'll wake-'

"You'll die." The crow cut to Yata's thoughts. "Without the protection of a sanctum, you'll die. If you want to leave, you have to finish the ritual."

"Damn it all!" Yata cursed out loud once more. "What is this stupid ritual for?!" His patience finally snapped and anger flaring.

"To become the Red King. This is the domain of the Red King and I am the guardian of this place."

"...What?" Yata's anger died down. 'Did I hear him right?' "To become the Red King?" The crow didn't answer so Yata took it as a yes. "Mikoto-san's the only Red King!" He screamed at the crow. Suoh Mikoto is the only Red King and no one can replace him... not even Yata himself.

"That man..." The flames started to go wild and the crow turned into a large tiger. "...was a beast. He fit the title of the Red King well. But that man is no longer here."

Yata clenched his fists and gritted his teeth before looking down. 'I know that. I know that very well.'

"I chose you to be the Red King. Others can claim the title if they have what it takes." The beast paused. "Do you want others to soil the title that Suoh Mikoto once held?"

Yata abruptly looked up the beast. 'No one. No one is allowed to soil his throne. Not even me.'

"I won't allow you to leave." The beast said.

'Shit. I have to save Anna! I don't have time to argue here!' Yata sighed. 'I hope Mikoto-san will forgive. This is to save Anna, after all.' "What do I need to do?" Yata said in defeat.

The beast looked up. Yata followed his gaze and saw a stone hovering above them. "That stone..." Yata mumbled. "Its the one at Mihashira Tower."

The beast looked back at Yata and said. "You need to be in contact and be on the same wavelength as the slate." The slab of stone then slowly descended in front of Yata. "Once you're in contact with the slate, you cannot leave this place for real this time until you finish the ritual."

Yata glared at the beast. 'He was messing with me.' He looked back at the stone in front of him then lifted his right arm and pressed his palm against the stone.

"Focus on the slate." The beast circled around Yata and the slate.

Yata did as he was told and felt heat spread in his palm and it started to crawl to his arm and then his whole body. "Aaaaaargh!" He screamed in pain as tge heat started to intensify a whole lot.

"Do not let go of the slate."

Yata clenched hus jaw as he tried his best not to let go and stand still. "Aaaaargh!" He screamed louder as the heat intensified more.

"Endure it."

Yata painfully turned to the beast. "What... do you... think... am I... doi-!" He was cut off when a strong forced suddenly repelled and pushed him away from the slate. "Argh!" He grunted as he dropped on the ground. He looked at the slate and just in time to see it burst into pieces. "What- What happened?" Yata asked to the beast as he tried to sit up.

"Someone better than you came in contact with the slate." The beast answered.

"What?" Color drained from Yata's face. "... I didn't finish the ritual."

"You successfully received half of the Red King's flame but you didn't finish the ritual. You cannot leave the domain until you gain the flames."

Yata's eyes widened. "I'm trapped here?"

The beast only stared at him.

"You're the guardian here, right?! Help me!" Yata said in a panicked voice.


Anna swayed left and right as she suddenly started to lose control of her new found power. Her wings made of flames started to look deformed. Her flames started to fo wild and gathered then formed into a phoenix.

"Anna!" Kusanagi worriedly called her name as he held Yata's limp body near him.

The fire phoenix flew upwards destroying the ceiling in the process and started to circle around the Red King's Sword of Damocles, ready to attack it.

Anna focused all of her strength on the glowing slate. "I will not lose to you." She said with a strained yet determined face. The phoenix was about to strike the Sword of Damocles when the flames forming it started to disperse and completely disappeared.


Fushimi and the rest of Scepter 4 started to raise shield with the order of Awashima as they saw green electricity and debris pour down from the tower.

"Go back twenty meters and put up the barricades again!" Fushimi barked orders.

Huge amount of electricity gathered at the top of the tower and rained down to it wheb Munakata released his aura causing his Sword of Damocles to appear above him and freeze the green electricity then burst into small pieces of ice.


Members of Scepter 4 started to form lines in front of the tower to greet the new Red King. They were expecting the smug HOMRA punks to come out in an arrogant way but what they saw was frantic looking people. They recognized the the little girl Anna. The girl who was usully bearing an emotionless face was crying while HOMRA's second-in-command was looking panicked while carrying a bloody person in his arms.

Kusanagi looked around and saw HOMRA's clansmen running towards them. "Kamamoto!" He frantically called the man who was currently suffering from injuries and summer fatigue. "Get my car! Yata-chan! Yata's not breathing!"


*Peace Lily - rebirth and renewal.
Alright! Don't panic! Yata-chan's alive! Remember. His conciousness being trapped in the Red King's domain from the summary? Okay. That answers it! :)

I'm not good at action scenes.
Sorry for the lack of appropriate words, grammatical and typographical errors.
Thanks for reading.
