The War part 51

[krystalkatzfics]

 “Back into bed, puppy...” Satoshi hissed and thankfully the werewolf nodded without argument allowing him to carry him quickly back to the bed. He barely had time to tie the ropes around his wrists when the door was pushed open and Tayhia strode in. She looked relieved when she saw that he was standing beside the bed and Satoshi guessed she was the reason that there was so much commotion. “Tayhia? What’s going on?” He asked needlessly but loudly enough that any beyond the door would be able to hear him. 

“My honoured father has come at last husband. You will soon be free of your burden” 
 

“I see, that remains to be seen...” Satoshi hummed knowing that Tayhia was subtly checking Nino over. There was blood on her hands still and a few droplets on her clothes meaning that she had hurried from the hospital wing as quickly as possible to get ahead of her father. “How are the soldiers?”
 

“Bruised and bloody but remarkably well considering, I hear that it was the werewolf Domoto on the field, it appears that he knows that the prince is with us” Tayhia knew the plan, she had been told that Masaki would go and tell the plan to Domoto and in a sense she was telling him that the message had been received and that the warrior had put on a show but otherwise had remained restrained. 
 

“I am glad that we have lost no more to this war...” 
 

“These soldiers have survived but the war is not yet over, more will die before the end comes my old friend” A crisp voice hummed from the doorway and Satoshi stiffened just a fraction before smiling at the king. He was the very image of his son Sho, though slightly older. He wore traditional dress and even managed to keep a crown upon his head. He oozed affability and Satoshi knew that many were fooled into believing him to be as nice as his son. Satoshi had hoped that he would be but his hope was in vein, the man had a coldness his son didn’t, he had been blind to that but now he saw it. He also saw the mark of insanity in his eyes and the way his tongue moved over his plump lips. He startled a little as he saw Nino on the bed and Satoshi had to stop himself from reacting at the almost hungry way the king was looking at his mate. “There is no doubt whose child you are, you look the image of your father...”
 

“I wish I could take that as a compliment but since my father is quite insane I rather hope that I don’t” Nino shot back hotly and Satoshi had to admire his lover’s skill with his tongue. He was getting straight to the point without being obvious about it. The king recoiled at the words, it was slight but Satoshi saw it, and it gave him hope that this insane plan would somehow work. 
 

“You have his tongue also...I am Sakurai Shu, king of the vampire...” The man told him and Nino lifted an eyebrow and gave a smirk saying;
 

“I would bow but I’m tied to a bed, I’m Ninomiya Kazunari, prince of the werewolves...”  
 

“Why are you afraid of me, little werewolf? I have you at my mercy, I could get you in a second...”
 

“You could but it still wouldn’t make me afraid of you...Your majesty...” Nino added on the title as an afterthought and Satoshi rolled his eyes discreetly looking at the honour guard the king had brought with him. They were well trained, Satoshi knew that as he had trained them himself, but he knew that he could easily take them both down if needed. The only problem was he wouldn’t be able to take them all down at once and although the bonds holding Nino weren’t tight and he could slip out of them at a moments notice he couldn’t transform and as such meant he couldn’t get away. 
 

“And why is that?”
 

“I don’t think you’re frightening, I have lived with my father all my life, your majesty, insanity is far scarier than you could ever be” Nino shrugged and for a moment Satoshi was sure the king was going to attack his puppy but then he seemed to surprise everyone by asking with genuine interest;

“You say that your father is insane, the last time I spoke with him he seemed sensible enough. As haughty and arrogant as ever...” 
 

“Pot meets kettles as the old humans used to say. My father has moments of clarity, your majesty, moments where I feel that my father may be there but it is always lost again...The last time I spoke with him he threw me to the floor and threatened to rip my throat out” Nino muttered and Satoshi had to fight the hiss that rose up in the back of his throat at the words. The king himself looked surprised but intrigued by the story. “That is when I decided...” 
 

“Decided what, little werewolf?”
 

“That my father is no longer fit to rule us. His insanity has gone on long enough...” Nino hissed his eyes flashing with a fire that had vanished since Chinen’s stunt with the silver. Even though he was laid on the bed with his hands bound he looked every inch the king Satoshi knew that he would be one day. His whole face appeared chiselled, his body taut. A glance at Tahiya told him that she was surprised by the transformation. 

“And you seek to replace him?”
 

“Yes” Nino answered with a certain nod and the king let out a shaky kind of laugh before snarling;
 

“Too bad that you were captured then little werewolf, you will never leave here to become king...” 
 

“Not even if I told you that I would surrender? That I would declare you victors in this insanity that you call a war?” Nino asked softly looking at the king with a raised eyebrow. Shu looked surprised and then curious asking;
 

“And why would you do that?”
 

“My people are dying, your majesty, as are yours...Day after day the people you rule shrinks away soon you will be a king with no people to rule...”
 

“I could kill you and your father”
 

“Could you though? Kill my father...He speaks of many things when the insanity takes him...” Nino gave a knowing smile, his eyes flashing golden at the king whose mouth fell open wide before snapping closed again as he stalked towards the bed. None of this was going the way that they had planned but Satoshi knew that the plan needed to change now that Nino couldn’t transform, it didn’t do his heart any good however and he was glad that his wife was at his side. 
 

“Whatever that mad dog may have told you...” 
 

“He didn’t just tell me...He showed me his chest, I saw it...You wanna show me yours? Your majesty...”

A/N: I hope that this is okay >.<

Nine is very brave when tied to a bed

[pupilurker]

Oh this little werewolf sure is bold. I hope the King won't hurt him. :c

[gambitsfox]

I kinda think Nino may fall into that protective circle with the king. Nino is protective of Ohnos kid.....why wouldn't the vampire feel the same for his mates child?😉💙💛

[reveetoile]

I think it's really intriguing. Nino is really brave XD Poor Ohno getting one heart attack after the other though
