Kazuko gave him a double thumbs up and then winked settling herself back down on the bench looking a lot more smug when the disappointed looking mothers got up and walked off with their rejected children. Nino sat on the hard wooden floor breathing deeply through his nose to regulate his breathing and settle his heart rate. The boys that had been held back came and sat with him almost all looking a little embarrassed until one asked;
 

“How did you learn to dance like that?”
 

“My cousin, she’s a huge fan of Johnny’s and made me dance with her. She’s the one who sent in my application” Nino answered honestly his own cheeks flushing against his will as the boy that had asked the question slipped his arm over his shoulder. Of all the guys in the ones that had stayed he was the one with the most idol like looks. He was smaller than Nino at the moment but Nino could already tell that he was clearly a future alpha but he hadn’t presented yet, he still had a heavy scent. He wasn’t as good looking as the Keio boy but he was almost there. Nino slipped himself out of the boy’s grip and shifted away from him not caring for the way his scent made him feel and not wanting anyone to be too close in case they caught a glimpse of his own scent under Yuza’s. It was possible given how sweaty he was after his dance thankfully the alpha in training didn’t seem offended by him shifting away. 
 

“So, think we’re gonna get through?”
 

“Don’t know, don’t know what they meant about likability factor...” Nino shrugged looking over at the three adults who were busy talking amongst themselves. None of them seemed to be in any hurry to talk to them and Nino wondered if they had already made up their minds. Likability seemed to be such a strange thing to judge somebody on, how could anyone tell how likable you were? Or how people would respond to you? He supposed that they must know something about it because they ran Johnny’s and had some successful acts but it seemed to be strange to him. 
 

“Hmm, don’t know either...I’m Toma by the way, Ikuta Toma...” The boy said with a friendly grin that stretched out his sharp features. Nino found himself smiling back, it was impossible not to even though he was feeling a little overwhelmed. His eyes moved back to the group of adults who appeared to be shooting them glances every now and then causing Nino to feel as though he was waiting to be shot. His stomach twisted around like he was on a rollercoaster and he looked back at Toma trying to distract himself. 
 

“Ninomiya Kazunari, most people just call me Nino...Why did you apply?”
 

“Something to do, seems fun” Toma answered with a carefree shrug putting his hands behind his head and laying down on the floor so he could look up at the ceiling Nino felt the urge to copy him but he couldn’t understand why he was so at ease. Toma didn’t even look nervous and although he had failed the singing portion of the test he had grinned as though he wasn’t bothered about the out come. As a future alpha though he probably didn’t need to worry, he wasn’t going to be ushered to one side and called weak. As if Omega were weak. There were countless tales throughout history that told of the strength and bravery of omega. The leader of the most powerful clan of samurai had been a bloody omega but that hadn’t stopped him from taking down twenty men single handed. “So your cousin made you join?”
 

“And my mum...” Nino mumbled pushing away his anger at the injustice of being an omega and giving Toma another smile. “My mum thinks I was hanging around with the wrong people, she thinks Johnny’s would straighten me out...”
 

“Well, we’ll certainly try. Congratulations, you four have made it...To the probationary stage, mind you, if you don’t work hard then you won’t be going any further” Umeda told them with a smile and Nino jumped to his feet grinning in a sort of stunned way before running to his mum and gasping in a strangled way;
 

“I did it! I got accepted!” 
 

“I heard, congratulations Kazu” Kazuko hummed hugging him as she whispered in his ear “You can only stay until you present, Kazu, after that it will be impossible...”
 

“I know...I know...” Nino agreed readily. It would be impossible to keep his scent hidden after 16, he knew that but at the moment he wanted to enjoy the fact that he had succeeded. “I can’t wait to tell Yuza!” 
 

“Before you go telling anyone your mother will need to read through the contract, and you have to understand what this means. You’re only on a probation so you’re not to spread it around that you’re a member of Johnny’s” Nino opened his mouth to protest but Umeda smiled and nodded at him “You may tell family members only so long as they don’t spread it around, if there is even a hint of a scandal you’re out and honestly you’re too young to understand what the press will do...Just take it easy and treat this as an after school club, its hard work but it can be fun...Okay, you chat amongst yourselves while we talk to your parents...Congratulations, you all did incredibly well and you should be very pleased with yourselves”

The War part 51

“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...”
