Lol! I started another fanfic when I can't even motivate myself to continue my Fairy Tail fanfic which I supposed to translate and update. I just had to get rid of the plot bunnies I had in my head. It's a challenge to write this as I don't even know where this is going. I'm writing as I'm thinking. Still I'm going to try and speculate what I have in mind.
The image I have for the Red and Blue Kings in the "another future version" came from posters with the characters in army costumes while "the ROSE" was just made up by me. I just somehow see a certain character who doesn't fit in a certain clan due to his hair colour. That was why I made him a King in my made-up clan. There was a lot more about that character.
I'm quite new to K fandom so if the characters are too OOC, please pardon me.
Reviews are appreciated to inspire and motivate me. Thank you.
Chapter 1: The Colourless King
In the year 2015, in another future where Ashinaka High School was no more; where it had disappeared from the map and replaced with a label known as the Suoh Crater which repeated the history of the creation of the Kagutsu Crater, there was a clash between the Red and the Blue Clan in the ruined Shizume City.
An explosion occurred and a figure engulfed in the red aura had arrived to another person in blue shrouded in shadow.
The Blue King was smirking. He was happy to be able to see him again. As a matter of fact, they had lost their chance for their futures. He had wasted the chance of being honest with himself. No one but himself knew his own regret.
"Mi-sa-ki." The young Blue King clicked his tongue speaking the name of the newly chosen Red King.
"Saru. Stop calling me by my first name." The Red King who had lost his left eye, Yata Misaki greeted his rival. He was no longer the rash kid he used to be.
The neverending battle had began once more. These were the Purple Clan, the ROSE was looking for. They were seeking for the disorientation of the world order.
A man in shadow was standing watching the battle. He clicked his tongue witnessing the fading of the newly emerged black sword of Damocles in the air. He thought he finally had a chance to battle the newly born Colourless King just minutes ago but that man just had to interfere.
"So here you are, the Purple King. I had been looking for you." A boy with white hair appeared before him in the air.
"Are you here to judge me like you did to the former Colourless King? Only one King will survive, will it be you or me? I'll deal with the new Colourless King later. It seems that you had sent him away somewhere." The last of the King who had finally showed himself was annoyed.
"Yes, I sent him away to seek his happiness. This disoriented world is not befitting of him. As for you, I'll defeat you once and for all. The world is going to come to an end and I'll see this to the very end." The First King, declared a war on the Purple King, the man of triple colours, Mishakuji Yukari.
*December 2014, the main timeline*
Yata was whistling a happy song while tidying up Bar HOMRA. It had been a while since everyone would gather. Thanks to their Princess becoming the King, they were able to return.
The ringing of bell was heard.
"Welcome, you're ear..." Yata stopped in his greeting and frowned. It was Kuroh and Neko of the Silver Clan when he thought Kusanagi-san and Anna was back.
"Yahoo! Sorry for intruding!" Neko chirped and greeted Yata appearing from Kuroh's back. Kuroh sighed at Neko's excitement. They came here invited by Anna to join their party in order to thank them for their help. Not just them, it seemed that the Blue Clan was invited.
"What? That Saru will be here?" Yata jumped in response upon hearing Kuroh's words. "He's not welcomed. That damn traitor!"
"Just be honest. You likeeeeee him right?" Neko teased rolling her tongue. Yata blushed and denied. He would never like that traitor. Well he would never admit.
"Who isn't welcome here, Mi-sa-kiii?" The hateful person had arrived causing Yata to burn in embarrassment.
A figure of slim young man in yellow was seen standing outside of the Red territory, Bar HOMRA. He was looking at the signboard for a moment before he turned his gaze to the floor deep in his own thought.
"Will everything work out here?" The man in hood briefly revealed his honey brown hair as he took off in an opposite direction when a Blue clansman in spectacle who was just thrown out by the screaming red haired boy in frustration. He briefly stole a glance of the back of man he almost knocked into.
"Is it my imagination?" Fushimi Saruhiko removed his spectacle which fogged due to the low temperature in the bar as compared to the outside to polish as he stablised himself. He thought he saw a familiar face when the man left the area and was taken aback. He shook his head in denial. He just wanted to have fun right now. An idea sparked in his head.
"Mi-sa-ki, let me tell you there is a ghost out here." Fushimi said in his sinister voice knowing Yata's weakness, stormed back into the Bar as the brawl began but they had forgotten that no one should mess with Izumo's Bar.
"Fight!" Neko cheeered Yata on. After the rescue of Anna, Neko had always been friends of Anna and Yata besides Kuroh. Kuroh sat on the sofa shaking his head in defeat. Guess they could get along after all.
"Why are we leaving so early?" Neko asked Kuroh who was dragging her along arriving at a park. Kuroh just got a bad feeling when a row of the wine glasses crashed and broke into pieces. The Red Clansman who joined in the brawl with the Blues after their shifts just made things worse.
"I don't want to get involved with what is coming up next. It's going to get messier." Kuroh paled at the thought of Yata whose face turned ghastly white and Fushimi leaving with his guys pretending nothing had happened leaving the Red to clear the mess. Kuroh was brought back into the reality when a voice called out to him distracting him. He turned to the direction where the voice came from.
"Yo!" A cheery voice greeted him. Kuroh looked at the person who greeted him on the bench. He had seen him before somewhere.
"You are?" Kuroh recalled where he met the man before him. Images of their meeting flashed through his mind. Even though it was brief, that was the only time he felt warmth. Kuroh blushed.
"Canned peach." He blushed at the thought of waking up and seeing a canned peach on the table.
"Huh? So this is how you remembered me?" The older male giggled. He wondered when was the last time he laughed?
"Don't mind me. Others remembered me in other ways such as someone with no power, weakest, a cat with nine lives or anything demoralizing you can name it." He added with a smile as though it was nothing. That was why he was targeted at times even though he survived all the time including that time when he barely survived.
"You guys know each other?" Neko jumped in front of the young man who patted her head gently and smiled gently at her. Neko enjoyed the petting very much. He had a way with cats.
Kuroh pulled himself together still feeling awkward.
"T-thank you for the other night." He found himself stammering. The man just smiled in response.
"I should be thanking you for saving me that night, Yatogami Kuroh-kun. I had always wanted to meet you."
"How did you know my name? Who are you?" Kuroh just got curious even though he was somewhat well-known. The older man just smiled as a Sword of Damocles floating above his head. Kuroh was shocked at the look of it. It was the same one his late teacher and the evil fox-like spirit possessed when he was alive which means the man before him had to be…
The sword disappeared as soon as it appeared. If possible, he should not show it to catch attention of the JUNGLE and the ROSE as advised by the First King he had met when he first arrived here. He just had to prove himself in case the two Clansman would not believe him.
"I have a letter for you from the Silver King. The letter should be able to explain my situation as it isn't convenient for me to introduce myself directly especially in this world." The man with honey brown hair handed a letter to the shocked Kuroh. It was a letter from Shiro whom he and Neko had been looking for all this while. Shiro was indeed alive and well.
The Red and the Blue Kings were busy with their weekly discussion initiated by Kushina Anna at Scepter 4 HQ. She wished to learn more especially in order to protect her friends; she needed to learn to control her powers.
"You're doing fine. There is nothing to worry about." Munakata Reisi took a sip of his green tea his lieutenant Awashima Seri had served him. The green tea was the only drinkable refreshment prepared by her considering how obnoxious her cooking was. Awashima stole a glance at the second-in-command of HOMRA before leaving the room.
"Awashima-kun can stay since this dude is not leaving anyway." Munakata was obviously referring to Kusanagi Izumo who scoffed at his sarcastic remark. "Of course, I don't mind if you want to take her out on a date." Awashima blushed tomato right away at her Captain's words. He was spot on. Kusanagi merely shrugged.
"Well, if you don't mind Seri-chan going off for the day, it will be a pleasure for me to take her out on a date." With that, Kusanagi led Awashima out knowing what their Kings were up to. They were curious but it could not be helped right? There was someone else in the room that would not show himself in their presence.
Munakata and Anna watched as their clansman left the room.
"Well, you can show yourself now, the First King." Munakata called out.
"As expected from the Captain of Scepter 4. That makes things easy." The cheerful white haired boy who hid behind the curtain appeared before the two kings. He greeted Anna in a gentleman style with a kiss on her hand. He would greet the Kings he thought he could trust.
"What brings you who disappeared for this whole year finally showed yourself here, Silver King or should I call you Adolf K Weismann or rather Isana Yashiro?" Munakata went straight to the point.
"The day where the seven Kings gather is near." Anna spelled out reading the boy's mind or rather he allowed her to.
"Yes, as expected from the new Red King, she is right." Shiro praised her psychic ability.
"The Gold King had passed away. The birth of the new Gold King is imminent. I just want to retrieve Lieutenant's base until the new King appears. The time he appears is the time the seven Kings will gather." Shiro said as though he was requesting for a piece of tissue. The two Kings did not appear to be shocked. They were expecting it in their own manner. Anna with her psychic power and Munakata with his reasoning of logic.
"And what makes you think I'll comply?" Munakata asked. Shiro shrugged in response.
"Nope, not without any benefits." Shiro was not around for almost a century for nothing. "I will share with you some juicy information. At this point of time, the Colourless King will not be born but yet..."
"The new Colourless King has appeared." Shiro looked at Munakata into his eyes before turning to Anna and gave an assuring smile.
"Don't worry. He isn't evil because I said so even though our meeting is not exactly pleasant." Shiro shook his head at the thought of him. He wanted to be his friend but the other King seemed to be quite wary of him.
"He told me he came from the time when the Kings are at an all-out war with one another. It was never-ending. One King goes down, another rises. The conflicts continue. I'm hoping when the Seven Kings meet, it will be peaceful. When I see him, I know instantly that the future he came from was completely different from what we are going through. That's why I believe his words." He added directing to the little girl who could not read him already.
"He comes here seeking the meaning of being alive. That is what my future self had tasked him. As you know, Colourless King is just like a wildcard. No one knew what kind of powers he possesses until he uses his power." Shiro shrugged at the choice the Dresden Slate in the other time had made in terms of Kings. It seemed to favour the Red Clansman.
Because of what the Dresden Slate could do, he needed to have it back.
"You are…" Kuroh finally got to know the name of the guy who had taken care of him after reading the letter his King wrote. He could not believe that there was a pacifist-like member in the Clan known for their violence to resolve problem. He stared at the young man who was smiling in astonishment.
"But you died…" Neko stated the obvious scanning the man in confusion, grabbing his hand to feel him. "Are you sure you are not a ghost?" His hand was warm to her.
"Not if I came from another future." The man removed his hood revealing his hair and face.
"Yes, I'm the man who caused the conflicts between the Kings." The man known as Totsuka Tatara smiled at the two surprised Silver Clansman.
