A/N: Thank you so much for the review Snakehands! I actually wrote the other ending about the same time I wrote chapter 4. It was completely experimental, I didn't know what people would think. Since your review is the only one that appeared, I can only assume it wasn't a hit haha. Anyway, here's a happy end, I hope it was better than the last one. By the way, it's totally okay to tell me the last ending, or any part of the story, wasn't very good. It's all good! Have a nice day!

Takahiro had left earlier, though he did wish the couple all the best in their bizarre situation and claimed he'd be around if he was needed for any reason. The train Misaki had brought with him also elected to stay, well at least most of them. Kamijou had elected to stay almost immediately, and Miyagi also agreed to stay, though reluctantly. Shinobu had been released after some complicated negotiations with Takahiro. It all seemed like the loose ends were tied up, at least in Usagi's mind.

Usagi, despite hardly sleeping, was up bright and early, ready to call his citizens to a meeting. Misaki slept through most of the summoning process, but was gently nudged awake by his husband when it was time for them to appear.

"What's going on?" A sleepy Misaki said as he hauled himself out of bed and began getting dressed.

"We're just going to make the announcement that you survived the arrow and that you're going to continue being the queen." He said bluntly, but with a smile.

"Oh, how long do these addresses usually last?" Still feeling a little light headed from the poison, he wasn't sure if he should be standing for any length of time. Nowaki had cleared him however, and claimed that he should be fine now.

"Not long, I'll just say that you're alive, then I'll have to give a long winded speech about the nature of our relationship, then we can leave. It shouldn't take too long."

"Well, I'll trust you." Misaki was still getting used to the idea of being with this man for the rest of his life. Appearing before the masses would finally affirm this, and he was so completely nervous that he could only trust his husband to carry him through this.

Usagi outstretched his hand. "Alright, let's do this together."

Misaki took that hand, and they made their way out to a balcony at the front of the castle. He looked down, noting all of the spectators in the audience. There was a dead silence, until Usagi's voice cut through it, "the queen lives!" He said simply, holding up Misaki's arm. The crowds cheered, and once they died down, he began speaking. Misaki stayed silent, partially because he had nothing to say, partially because he was in awe of how eloquent his husband's speech was.

The crowds cheered and applauded when necessary, and then after about only ten minutes, Usagi dismissed everyone, concluding that his announcements were over. Then, to bring this spectacle to a close, he seized Misaki and pulled him into a deep kiss. The queen was too caught off guard by this sudden action that he couldn't complain, but his cheeks began to burn from the embarrassment he felt. Sure he was supposed to be the queen, but there was no need of making their affections public. After the deep kiss, he took Misaki's hand and they went back inside the castle.

"Hey." Misaki said, looking slightly angry, but also somewhat flattered.

"Hm?"

"How about next time you tone down the affections? You think I like being kissed in public like that?!"

"You're my wife, the queen, I don't think what I did was out of line."

Misaki deflated then, knowing that he was right again. Still, he wasn't pleased. "Well, you know, maybe tone it down a little. It's embarrassing…"

"Yeah yeah, I've heard your stance on public displays of affection. I'll try to tone it down, but I can't deny my feelings."

Misaki rolled his eyes. Still, he wasn't actually angry enough to keep the issue going, so he let it drop for now.

"By the way Misaki, how are you feeling right now? Light headed, weak, dizzy?" He was inquiring about the symptoms of the poison. Misaki appeared to be fine, but he wanted to make sure for himself.

"I think I'm fine." The queen said in a hushed voice, feeling a little self-conscious. "I felt a little dizzy this morning, but I think it went away now."

Usagi raised an eyebrow, and his sly grin returned. Without warning, he scooped up his wife and began walking at a brisk pace toward their bedroom.

"Wha, What are you doing?" A startled Misaki protested.

"This is our honeymoon. You know what couples do on their honeymoon right?" He said with a sly, sleazy grin.

"Why you!" He said, though made no move to escape. He knew there'd be a lot of this when he opted to remain the queen, yet he still found it endlessly infuriating, on the surface anyway. "Can't you at least wait until we have breakfast?!"

"No, you realise that I've been longing for you, ever since you taken down to the waiting room. The thought of losing you made me crazy. I need to affirm that you're really here, with me."

"You can tell that now! I'm right here, you can feel me!" He protested.

"Hmm, we'll see about that." Usagi said in his usual sleazy voice.

Despite everything, he was glad that he could stay married to this man, no matter how one tracked his mind was. He'd never admit that though.

Before they could make it to their room, they were stopped by Aikawa, who appeared somewhat bewildered at this turn of events. "So I heard that you're keeping your marriage."

Usagi rolled his eyes, not wanting to deal with the politics for a while. "I've got it all planned out, and I'll tell you in, say, an hour or so."

Her temper flared then, as she didn't want such important information being withheld from her by the single-minded king. "You're going to keep something so important from me?! You tell me right now what's going on!"

"Sorry, It'll have to wait." He said, dodging her and breaking into a sprint. Nothing was going to stop him from getting what he wanted right now.

"Get back here! Stop shirking your responsibilities!"

Misaki sighed, but resigned himself to what would ultimately become his new normal.
