yume_to_amePairing: It's going to be a Jun-pairing, but I don't want to spoil it yet. It's either: Sakumoto, Matsumiya or Juntoshi. Jun/Aiba as brothers, and Aiba might get his own pairing.
Rating: up to R
Genre: royality!AU, romance, a bit fantasy,
Plot: To seal the new peace agreement Prince Jun is handed over as a gift to the neighbouring kingdom, the Highlands of Ice. There is a legend surrounding Jun and his sisters and brothers, namely that they hold a secret power which will only be awakened to the fullest when their owner falls in love.
Tired of reigning the Highlands of the Ice the king announces that one of his three sons - Sho, Satoshi and Kazunari - will inherit the throne. As all of them are good men, loyal and talented, he decides to put a challenge to it: Whoever wins the young mysterious prince's heart will marry him and get the throne.*
*Important sidenote: I will not make a love triangle or anything alike. Once Jun decided, he decided. Also Sho and the others won't play dirty.
Note: This is going to be really romantic, I promise :D and I promise you all (!) that the brothers won't treat each other like sh*t. It's super fun to write this! Please tell me what you think <3
The first thing Satoshi does is check on Shun’s place, but to his shock Shun’s place is deserted. The door seems to be broken open forcefully and some objects are knocked over.
“Damn it,” Sakamoto curses. “Do you know this old creep Oguri?”
Satoshi shakes his head. “Only the stories about him,” he hurries to answer. “Come,” he orders. “We need to tell the others. We shouldn’t lose any time.”
Once they reach the palace they bump into the meeting his father has set, all of them turning around when they enter. “You are late,” Koichi says, his eyes piercing him and Sakamoto. “Does this mean you found something!?”
“Maybe,” Satoshi doesn’t waste any time. “The old creepy Oguri-san was seen in town. One of the old women in town saw him. He was also seen talking to Jun!”
“The young Oguri Shun-san’s house has been broken in to,” Sakamoto adds. “We checked on it. He is nowhere to be found. They took him along too.”
Masaki listens in surprise. “What? Shun-san? What kind of creep?”
“His uncle,” Satoshi explains shortly. “Father, what does this mean? I’ve only heard rumours about the old man.”
Koichi exchanges a surprised glance with Nagase. “Everyone thought he killed himself,” he points out. “Which is why we never put him under trial.”
Kazu’s eyes widen. “What… but Shun-san…”
“Shun-san is a good man,” Koichi explains shortly. “I wanted him to have a life on his own. He is not responsible for the crime of his uncle. Besides his own parents got killed by his uncle.”
Satoshi feels all colour being drained from his face. Jun is with… such a person… but… “What happened?” he asks in horror. “What did he do?”
“He was always a weird man,” Nagase points out. “Some would say insane.”
“One day he thought his wife was cheating on him,” Koichi continues. “He stabbed her.”
“She died?” Sho asks with a hoarse voice. “She…”
“From what we know she did,” Koichi explains. “He himself committed suicide afterwards, but apparently he wasn’t successful. It seems like he hid somewhere.”
“What does he want from Jun though?” Masaki calls out. “I mean, he is exotic, so he can’t look like someone he knows. It’s impossible. Why did he deliberately lure Jun away and abducted him?”
Satoshi hears the others discussing for a while, his ears ringing slightly. He hears a sentence in his mind over and over again, something one of the women said. “He can give life…” he mumbles.
“What?” Sakamoto asks in surprise, before his eyes widen. “You mean…”
“Listen,” Satoshi hurries to explain. “Jun can give life. Of course we mean he can make things blossom and brings warmth. He cannot create human life, but…”
“…but rumours might say he can,” Koichi concludes, eyes narrowing. “This sick bastard! He wants to use Jun-san for something!” he turns around. “Nagase-san, gather our best men! We are going.”
“I’m going ahead,” Satoshi says immediately.
“No,” Koichi intervenes.
“I’m sorry for disobeying,” Satoshi argues. “But Jun is my fiancé. I need to be there as fast as possible. He is my responsibility.”
“You don’t have to go alone,” Sho intervenes. “I’ll come too. And I’ll tell Kazu to open some backdoors for us.”
“I’m accompanying you,” Masaki says immediately. “I’m a good fighter.”
“I’m coming too,” Sakamoto points out. “We can’t lose any time.”
Koichi looks at them for a while, eyes resting on Satoshi for what seems like minutes. Then he nods. “If you decided like this, my son, I’m sure you have thought it through. Go ahead. My men will follow suit.”
~~~
The guy approaches him again, mere madness sparkling in his eyes. Before he can hurt Jun though, there is a voice from the door. It’s the old man from before.
“Stop it, Shiniji! We need him.” He walks closer towards Jun, hovering above him. “You will heal her!” he orders.
Jun is speechless for a moment. He is supposed to do what? “Heal…”
“You can give life,” the man hisses. “You will heal her. Give her life! Like everyone says you can.”
Jun feels sick for a moment. What do they expect from him? How do they think he can do something like that!? He wonders if he should reason with them and explain them his power, but he figures with these crazy guys his life is in danger. If he tells them, he can’t create life just like that, they will probably go crazy and kill him immediately. “I can’t promise you anything…” he answers warily, mainly to win time.
“You will heal her,” the old creepy guy tells him firmly, face distorted. Jun’s heart clenches but he doesn’t let his body show any reaction, instead he remains quiet, hoping that they will leave him alone.
The man nods grimly, apparently reading his silence as an agreement. He grabs the young man’s – Shiniji? – arm and tugs him alone. The door closes behind them, and Jun is left alone with the woman.
He turns around a bit, walking towards her. “Poor you,” he whispers. “You have died already, haven’t you? They just kept your body.” How did they do it? If he had to guess he would say they hired some shady shaman, who did a forbidden spell and retrieved her body from under the earth. He feels sick at the thought of not allowing this woman to rest in peace. How dare they? He carefully takes her hand, wondering what he should do.
~~~
Later that evening Shiniji tugs Jun back to his room, leaving him alone there. Finally. Just like the evening before they bring him food. It’s plenty, but Jun feels too sick to eat. His arm hurts, and there are bruises building around the part Shiniji stepped on. He can hardly move it. When he tries to, he feels so sick he could throw up. The other parts of his body Shiniji hit mostly left bruises, but his arm needs to get treated eventually.
When there is a knock at his door, Jun looks up in surprise. Someone knocks? It means it can neither be Shiniji nor his creepy father. His eyes widen when he sees the person entering the room.
“Shun-san?”
~~~
His father has decided that Nagase and Sho should accompany them too. Sho because he is a good fighter and Nagase mainly because he knows the way to the old Oguri estate. It’s only an assumption anyways, but once Satoshi heard that the family has a huge tower located at the seaside in a deserted area, he knew this has to be it.
They are riding fast and in silence, until the night approaches again and they have to ride slower. “I’m so angry,” Sakamoto says all of a sudden, voice vibrating. “I’m going to slaughter these men.”
Satoshi is sure he will by the way his voice sounds. He himself is ready too to get into action. No one touches his love. He just prays that Jun is still sound and safe, and not hurt. If he is hurt, he won’t hesitate to rip this awful people’s heart out.
Sho turns his head slightly to look at Masaki who hasn’t said a word up to now. “We’ll come in time,” he says firmly.
“How do you know?” Masaki wants to know in a desperate voice.
“They took Jun-san because they need him for something. I’m sure they need him alive.”
Satoshi nods inwardly. That’s exactly what he is clinging to now. They basically planned this whole thing, coming here, luring Jun away and taking him with them. If they wanted ransom or anything alike they would have contacted the king. But the fact that they stay quiet means that they want something from Jun.
It has to be his powers. They want his unique powers, and Jun’s advantage is that they probably don’t know that his power is not what they expect it to be.”
~~~
Shun is sporting a blue eye and his shoulder is bandaged. He looks awful, drained and like he has seen something awful. Jun assumes he probably did encounter quite some bad things. Shun closes the door behind him, leaning against it before he drops to his knee. “I’m so sorry, Jun-san.”
Jun’s heart sinks. “You were scheming with them?” he asks.
“No!” Shun looks up in horror. “I didn’t even know my uncle is still alive. He is a horrible man. They basically hit me unconscious right after they abducted you and brought me here as well. I wanted to fight them, but Shiniji is crazy.”
“Shun-san…”
Shun gets up and sits down next to Jun, carefully taking his arm. “May I?”
“Won’t they get suspicious if you treat me? Won’t they hurt you for it?” Jun wants to know, not wanting to give Shun more troubles.
Shun smiles awkwardly. “I lied to them and told them that your body needs to be as well as possible for your power to have an effect.”
Jun blinks. “They believed you?”
Shun smiles bitterly. “Yes. After all they also believe you can miraculously put back life into a dead body, don’t they?”
“Shun-san,” Jun whispers. “We both know I can’t just make life out of nothing. How is that supposed to work?”
“I know,” Shun answers quietly. “They have completely lost it. Years ago my uncle actually killed his wife because he thought she was betraying him. She didn’t of course. Shiniji was always brutal and under his control, he got him on his side afterwards, and they managed to pretend his suicide. Later they retrieved her body, and I don’t know what they did to make her breath again.”
“She doesn’t do more than that though.” Jun sighs deeply. “She is dead since years, Shun. I can’t wake up the dead.”
“You have to pretend,” Shun whispers. “Pretend to do something. Make an excuse up when they think it doesn’t work. Meanwhile I will think of something to get us out of here, okay? It’s our only chance.”
Jun nods meekly. It’s not like he has an option after all.
Shun treats his hand as well as he can, but Jun knows it’s only a temporary solution. He will need someone to check on it properly and make the bones heal correctly. For now however it’s all he has.
When Shun has left, he feels a bit better. At least he knows that someone is here who tries to watch out for him, who is at his side. Poor Shun, to have grown up in this kind of environment.
Jun’s peace doesn’t last long though. The moment the night is over the door gets ripped open again and it’s this awful Shiniji. Again Jun gets blindfolded and dragged through corridors and staircases. He notices though that Shiniji tries not to hurt him too much, he really seems to believe in Shun’s words. At least something.
Once in the room with the poor woman, he is alone again. He can’t do anything at all, still he sits down next to hear talking to her and hoping he can at least comfort her mind that can’t rest in peace
~~~
Jun loses track of time completely. He doesn’t know how long he is at this place. It can’t be too long, he figures, but it feels like forever. He tries to hold his spirit up, his hope, because everything is connected to his positive feelings. If he loses hope, he will lose himself, and he needs to hold it together.
Satoshi will come, he is sure about that. Satoshi will come. Meanwhile Shun tries to attend to his wounds as well as he can, but every time he visits Jun, Jun sees an additional bruise on Shun’s face or shoulder. What are these sick bastards even doing?
He also notices that at least Shiniji’s patience gets less and less. It’s obvious in the way he looks at Jun with utmost hatred, like he is at fault for his mother to be in this state. Deep inside he probably knows that no one can get her back from the dead.
Jun continues to sit at the woman’s bed and talk to her, but they are running out of time. He needs to think of something. His eyes snap up when the door opens up and Shiniji is there to pick him up again. There is something in his eyes that makes Jun’s blood freeze in his veins. He knows this glance. Still he tries to remain calm and even smiles. He turns to the woman. “See you next time,” he says softly before he stands up and follows Shiniji. Much to his surprise Shiniji doesn’t bother covering his eyes this time, instead he pulls him along to an area of the tower Jun is sure he hasn’t been to before.
He blinks in surprise when Shiniji opens a door and pushes Jun in a room. A rather big room, with a bed, some weapons, a huge fireplace and- “Where are we?” he dares to ask.
Shiniji just growls and closes the door behind him before he pushes Jun towards the bed. Jun tries to remain as calm as possible. “Shiniji-san?” he asks calmly.
“You know the women in town gossiped about you,” Shiniji forces Jun to walk backwards, until his legs push against the bed. The man is so close to him now that Jun feels like throwing up.
“They did?” he asks, mainly to buy himself some time.
“Yes, said your power comes with love. I think it’s bullshit, but one never knows…”
Jun’s eyes widen in horror. What… “Love is a feeling, nothing you can force!” he tries to argue, but Shiniji wraps his arms around his body, trying to pull him closer. “LEAVE ME,” Jun yells in sudden panic, gathering his strength and hitting Shiniji’s face with his fist.
Shiniji moves back in shock, but recovers swiftly, eyes dark. “I’ll make you love me.”
Seeing him like this something inside Jun’s mind rings. It’s like a dark feeling suddenly overwhelms him, something he never felt before. And he didn’t know he was able to even feel it. He hates this man so much.
A/N: I'm so sorry for the cliffhanger *hides*
