Summary: In an AU to my A New Beginning, Kadoya Tsukasa, Misako’s former lover, returns to Misako’s world to finish what he started.



It was a warm spring day and the air was heavy with the perfume of flowers in bloom. The sight of Castle Doran, surrounded by its gardens was a welcome one for Kadoya Tsukasa. He could almost sense that his former fiancé, Nobori Misako was nearby… and that she was with another man. He had figured this would happen, once he learned of how much time had passed since their “wedding”. She’d probably believed he’d abandoned her at the altar… and in a way he had. He hadn’t counted on DaiShocker finding him and stealing him a way, mere hours before his wedding. But he was thankful. Now that he was back on top and ready to start destroying a few worlds, he was ready to ensure he had a queen by his side.

Nobori Misako would be that queen. He would just have to get rid of whomever it was currently standing in his way and take her back. He still cared for her and wanted to marry her… just under different circumstances than they’d planned.

Carefully, he readied his DekaDriver.

Suddenly, Misako came into view, looking radiantly lovely in the pink and black dress she had on, holding hands with a young man in a kimono. Almost immediately, Tsukasa was envious. It was clear the young couple was smitten with one another. He realized that he’d have no chance if he left her memories intact…

Carefully, he picked his card.

“Kamen Ride! Decade! Kamen Ride! Kabuto!”

Aso Mitsuhide had been enjoying a warm spring day with his love, Nobori Misako, when a familiar… and unwelcome smell assaulted his Wolfen senses. He knew exactly, who it was and felt his instincts to protect her flare.

Kadoya Tsukasa was back.

The attack came hard and fast and before Mitsuhide knew it, Misako was gone, having been ripped from his arms and stolen. Mitsuhide lay unconscious in the gardens and there he lay, as Misako was spirited away.

Mitsuhide remembered hearing strange words in English like “Attack Ride! Clock Up!” and “Final Attack Ride! Ka-Ka-Kabuto!” before his Wolfen form (he was well known for being capable of shifting forms quickly), was pitched clear across the garden, smashing into a tree.

Misako did scream for him in the split seconds it happened, but then he could no longer hear her voice as unconsciousness claimed him.

On Misako’s end, she didn’t recognize the Kamen Rider body that had grabbed her, or the super speed at which it moved. She knew it wasn’t one of her father’s or her brother’s… the form was more insect-like. But she just really remembered being grabbed, and screaming, before it all went dark.

…And then she woke up with a massive headache.

Misako could not remember much of anything, except maybe having dinner with her fathers and preparing for a wedding. She sat up slowly, taking in her strange surroundings. She seemed to be in a stone palace, with few windows and it was kind of cold… although, the black dress she’d been clad did not help.

Suddenly, a door creaked open and a little girl in white stood there before her. Almost immediately, Misako knew the girl was trouble. “Who are you and what the hell do you want with me?”

“The Great Leader of DaiShocker, your future husband…has come to see you.” She said, coldly.

“My future husband?” Misako raised a curious eyebrow. “Who are you?”

“I am Sayo, DaiShocker’s Princess.” She replied, before turning away, making an idle threat under her breath. Having heard such things before, Misako knew exactly what she said, “Soon to be its leader once I gain control.”

Misako was about to ask more questions, but suddenly, a handsome name in pink and black leather appeared and Misako’s eyes lit up.

“Tsukasa!”

Kadoya Tsukasa appeared, smiling softly. “Misako, my future bride….” He kissed her hand softly and Misako smiled warmly. “Welcome to my palace.”

“Your palace? You mean…you found your home?”

“Yes.” He smiled. “I am the Leader of DaiShocker and you, my love, are soon to be its new Queen, to rule by my side. You will still have your considerable powers and everything you want… I will give to you. Because I love you. And I promised you I’d never leave.” He kissed her then and Misako sighed softly. She remembered when Tsukasa had come to her home and they’d fallen in love and he’d proposed marriage. Now, they’d finally have their wedding.

Nobori Taiga was not a happy man once he learned that his daughter had been snatched and spirited away to some unknown location, possibly even another dimension. In fact, he had thrown the mother of all fits when a wounded Mitsuhide told him she’d been kidnapped, tossing furniture around the room and at Mitsuhide, who ducked with difficulty.

“Don’t shoot me! I’m just the messenger!” Mitsuhide cried, almost getting hit by a statue.

“Who took her? Did you see?” Taiga asked, trying very hard not to kill the young man. It had taken a long time for there to be peace among the Fangire and Wolfen and murdering Mitsuhide would only ruin everything. “If she’s harmed, so help me….”

“And you think I want to see her harmed?” Mitsuhide cried. “I didn’t see who took her… the man moved at superhuman speed. All I remember hearing was something speaking and the thing that took her looked insectoid. I don’t know what happened, Taiga-san… all I know is that it threw me into the gardens and then, when Akane and Masao found me, she was gone.”

Taiga pondered this for a minute and then said, “Tell your brother in law Daiki that he’s coming out of retirement. I need him to investigate.” Kaito Daiki, who was married to Mitsuhide’s younger sister, Tsumeko, was a “retired” Kamen Rider, having decided to give up his dimension hopping, phantom thief ways for a quite life as Tsumeko’s husband and father to their young son, Jiro. Daiki, in a lot of ways, was much happier and a loving husband. Mitsuhide had a feeling that he wasn’t going to like the idea of being forced out of retirement too much.

Mitsuhide was right. Initially, Daiki refused.

“I’m not going back to that life again.” Daiki was giving Jiro a bottle when Mitsuhide came to see him. “I gave Tsumeko my gun and cards and told her to throw them away. I’m done.”

“Daiki, please, you have to help me.” Mitsuhide murmured. “You are the only one who can help by going and finding out who took Misako. We can’t travel through worlds like you can. I know you said that you’ve retired, but…”

“I know who took Misako, though.” Daiki replied softly. “Based on what you said happened, it was a Kamen Rider named Kabuto. That super speed ability is called the Clock Up System. But in the Kabuto world I visited, the system was broken… but you said the rider stopped long enough to snatch Misako. That’s not possible...unless….”

“Unless, what?”

“It was Tsukasa who took Misako.”

Mitsuhide’s jaw fell open for a moment, and then he remembered that he’d recognized Tsukasa’s scent only seconds before Misako had been kidnapped. He wasn’t sure why he hadn’t thought of it before. “He stole Misako back.” He muttered flatly. “Oh, her father is going to LOVE this.” A pause. “Oh and Taiga wants you to go find her.”

Daiki almost dropped both the bottle and his son. “Are you kidding me?”

“No one else can do it but you.” Mitsuhide replied. “Please, Daiki. You have to help us.”

Daiki sighed, looked at his son and asked. “What do you think, puppy? You think Daddy should go back to being DiEnd?”

Jiro cooed and Daiki sighed. “I’ll go ask Tsume where she put my gun.”

Originally, Tsukasa had taken Misako to see if she still cared for him and explain to her what had happened and that he had not been intending to be kidnapped by his generals before the wedding. He had meant to come back sooner and was going to explain it all, but he discovered that Misako’s memory had taken a hit during the journey and that the last thing she remembered was him proposing to her.

No sense in making her angry, he figured and he decided to use his abilities as the leader of DaiShocker to give her whatever her heart desired. She’d wanted dinner, so he took her to DiEnd’s world and treated her to a good meal.

“You look beautiful.” Tsukasa murmured as they were bought rice stuffed squid, sushi boxes and somen noodles and paella for dinner. He kissed her hand tenderly, just as in love with her as he was when he met her. “You’ll make a beautiful Queen once we’re married. You’ll have all the power you could possibly desire and whatever you want, I will give you.”

“It sounds like more than what my father would give me.” A dark secret was that Misako would only be the Fangire Queen as long as her father was King. Once Taiga died, Misako would either have to marry whoever was chosen as King or give up her throne… and her power. Misako hated the idea. With Tsukasa, at least, she was going to be able to be his equal… his Queen and lover.

“It’s not your fault you are locked into being Queen dependant on who is King. Didn’t you say that Fangire are harder on the Queen than the King?” Tsukasa asked. “Don’t fret, darling. In my new world, you will have it all.”

Unknown to both Misako and Tsukasa, Daiki had arrived in his home world, teaming up with old flame Haruka, who had filled Daiki in while she was undercover as a waitress, spying on the Great Leader.

“DaiShocker is apparently every evil organization in the multiverse, combining to take ultimate control of it all. Tsukasa is apparently their leader. After you disappeared and he came back, he seized control and took over every single world, placing it all under his thumb. This world was the last. I escaped, but barely.” Haruka murmured as she and Daiki huddled outside, talking in secret. “What happened to Tsukasa, anyway? He kept muttering about an aborted wedding and how his generals ruined his wedding.”

“That girl he’s with, her name is Nobori Misako. She’s part of a race known in her world as the Fangire. She’s one of its leaders, the Queen. She’s very powerful. She was engaged to Tsukasa before, only on the day of the wedding, he vanished, and she thought he abandoned her at the altar. So did her family and her new lover. Explains why Tsukasa used his powers to get her back. He was afraid of being caught.”

“Does he love her?” Haruka asked. “He certainly seems to. I mean, showy gestures and all, the look in his eyes is clear… he is in love with her.”

“That may be, but she’s not with him. I think him bringing her here has done a number on her memory and she forgot the fiasco of their wedding.”

“She thinks it’s upcoming.”

Haruka’s words made Daiki cringe. Misako had forgotten EVERYTHING prior to the aborted wedding and Tsukasa was using that to his advantage. In that period, Misako HAD been in love with Tsukasa, judging by the adoring way she was looking at him as they ate. “So, taking her to his home retooled her memories and h decided to start over with her… essentially ripping her from Mitsuhide.” He looked at her. “Are you all right?” He asked. “I told you, you should have come with me…”

“Don’t worry about it. As long as I fly under the radar, I’ll be fine.” Haruka kissed his cheek and told him to go home to his wife and son and not to come back. “You should leave. Don’t let him find you. He hasn’t come for your world yet and if he finds you, he will. He’ll destroy everything… and I don’t want you to have that kind of life like mine.” A pause. “Can I see your son again?”

Daiki showed her the picture of himself, Tsumeko and Jiro that he’d brought with him for luck and Haruka looked sad. “I never pegged you as the father type, but I am happy one of us gets a happily ever after.” She kissed his nose and gave him back the picture. “Go!”

As Daiki departed to return back home, something suddenly struck him regarding Tsukasa’s motivations. If he’d already returned once to fetch Misako… what would stop Tsukasa from bringing DaiShocker’s forces back to take over the place… helped by Misako, who still had some very serious issues with her father, Taiga.

Unknown to Daiki, Tsukasa already had just such a plan in mind. He knew things between Misako and her father, Taiga were strained at best, having done some observing before he made his move. Taiga had not only disapproved of him, but also of her other love, Mitsuhide and kept asking why she couldn’t be a proper Queen. That, combined with her being stuck in Doran for her own protection (she didn’t find this out until years later, and wasn’t happy about it) and the knowledge that her father’s death meant her losing her position as Queen had made for an interesting cocktail and something Tsukasa knew he would have no trouble taking advantage of. Misako would be his equal and he knew she was just angry enough with her father to be willing to overthrow him and take control of her home. He knew darn well Taiga was not about to set up any sort of alliance with DaiShocker.

“Once we are married and leading DaiShocker… I think it would be wise seize control of your world from your father.” Tsukasa wasn’t about to ask her to do it now because he wanted to ensure she’d have backup forces under her thumb. “Think about it Misako… you taking the throne from your father. The Queen in chess is more powerful than the King. Look at all he has done to you, and he still claims to love you. I understand wanting to protect you, but locking you away in the castle? As though you were unable to defend yourself and not telling you about your own power? Shame on him. He doesn’t deserve to be King if he treats you that way. As MY Queen, you will be given all the power you could dream of and more. You will have endless forces at your command and of course, as always, my support and love. I will give you more than your father, that ungrateful man, could ever give you.”

Misako put down her glass of wine and paused. She thought about her fathers and her siblings and then, she thought about Taiga and her fists clenched.

Watching her fist shake, Tsukasa smiled. “But first…let’s prepare for our wedding.”

Before Daiki went to tell Taiga what he learned, he went home to Tsumeko and Jiro and hugged Tsumeko as tight as he could hug her. He hugged Tsumeko and he wanted to cry, but refused. He looked into her eyes and said, “You can never truly come back home again. I learned that tonight. I went home and it was all bad. I should have stayed… I hated my home. But I hate seeing it under control by Tsukasa and the forces of DaiShocker.”

“You shouldn’t have gone there without me.” Tsumeko muttered.

“I had to.” Daiki replied. “Going through the dimensions affected Misako’s memory. I couldn’t stand it if you forgot me or our son.”

“What are you doing to do now?” Tsumeko asked.

“I don’t know.” Daiki sat down on their couch and sighed. “I just hope Tsukasa doesn’t come here. If he comes, we’re all screwed.”

“You should have killed him.” Tsumeko muttered coldly.

“Trust me.” Daiki sighed. “It would not be that easy.”

Killing Tsukasa would not be easy, but Tsukasa grooming Misako to be his Queen was surprisingly easy. He knew what to prey upon, and that she would accept his logic and theories and that they were a young couple devoted to one another. Convincing her to turn on Taiga was surprisingly easy, but he stopped there. He knew Wataru had been a good father to her, and that turning her against him would be harder than he expected. But once he was able to get her to start conquering her world, the rest would fall into place.

In fact, convincing Misako was so easy, he’d even managed to use her family’s past to convince her that her world would be better if she ruled it with a simple praise: “How much different would things have been for Maya if she’d been able to take HEE King down a peg or two?”

That had been enough. The memories of the injustices Maya, her grandmother, ha suffered because her own King had been a jerk, moved Misako to ensure that her father would never treat her in such a fashion.

But first, in order to ensure that his minions and generals would serve as support, they had to be married… and quickly. He set off on a flurry of activity to prepare for the coronation of the new Queen of DaiShocker. Time was of the essence, after all. I t would only be a matter of time before Taiga came for him.

The news of DaiShocker and the possibility that Misako would overthrow Taiga only served to enrage an already furious Fangire King, who began pitching things at Daiki.

“Taiga, calm down!” Wataru cried, chasing after his husband in an attempt to calm him down. “Daiki is not the one you should be angry at.”

“THAT MANIPULATIVE LITTLE BASTARD!” Taiga roared. “How dare he! How dare he turn my baby against me!”

“You should have known it was coming, Taiga.” Wataru often found himself in the role of his husband’s voice of reason. “All he had to do was play into her insecurities and you didn’t exactly treat her well.”

“I was trying to do what ANY sensible father would do!” Taiga said. “I wanted to protect her from my enemies. I wanted her to live to grow up. How was I to know it would go so wrong?”

“That part about her being unable to be in power without you didn’t help!” Wataru was trying not to shout. “Taiga, it was a perfect cocktail and Tsukasa is manipulative enough to take advantage.”

“She was my baby, Wataru. I just never wanted to see her get hurt.”

“That doesn’t excuse the ridiculous stunts you pulled. Taiga, she went through many years where she thought you didn’t love her. You can’t just fix that overnight. You should know this by now.” Wataru sighed, watching as Taiga slumped behind his desk. The great Nobori Taiga, the Fangire King, looked as though his heart had just been torn from his chest.

Daiki figured that he should leave at that point.

Elsewhere, Misako was being fitted for her wedding gown. It was black and lace, gothic in design. It was perfect for the new Queen of DaiShocker. It reminded her of the dresses her brother had created for her. Sayo would often come to watch the fittings and Misako wouldn’t take her eyes off the girl or for her “manservant” Nobuhiko until they left. She didn’t trust them one bit and urged Tsukasa to keep an eyes on them.

Her new minions kept complementing on her new look and whatever generals Tsukasa had overseeing the wedding commented how the Great Leader was a lucky man. Misako had felt like she was truly Queen, adored by all. It was a much better existence than her one back in her home… which soon would be falling to her and her new forces.

She’d even had the DaiShocker insignia inked into her pale skin, on the left side of her chest, to compliment her Queen insignia on the right. Tsukasa was surprised when she presented them to her (her skin healed quickly). “Oh, those are gorgeous.” Tsukasa purred as he lounged in their large bedroom. “Misako, I can’t believe that you got that done.”

“Why so surprised, my love?” She asked, softly, allowing her nightgown to fall and she climbed on their bed. “For you, I can and will do anything.” He pulled her into his arms for a kiss, stroking her hair and fingering the Queen insignia around her throat. A pause and he tore the necklace from her throat.

“I have something better for you.” He presented her with her own DaiShocker pendant, which also bore the Queen insignia on it. “Perfect for the Queen of DaiShocker.” She smiled widely, almost squealing.

Tsukasa slid it around her neck and kissed the hollow of her throat. “Only a few days more and then you will be mine.”

“Willingly.” She purred. “And completely.” They kissed again and the two of them lay back on the bed as they kissed.

In the middle of the night, Misako awoke to find Sayo at the foot of the bed, staring at her. Sayo’s gaze was cold and Misako was immediately defensive.

“Don’t you know better than to interrupt adult activities, you brat?” Misako asked. “What do you want?”

“Your days are numbered.” Sayo murmured. “Once the Great Leader marries you, he will be that no more. I will be in charge. And you are not going to say a thing.”

Misako’s instincts flared and she moved to protect Tsukasa. “Says you.”

“I’m a high priestess.” Sayo replies. “And who are you? You are nothing.”

She didn’t see the special Jacorder Misako kept with her at all times for protection.

“I am not nothing.” Misako’s Fangire marks appeared. “I am QUEEN.”

Sayo didn’t see what was coming next.

By the time Nobuhiko went in to see her, Misako was in possession of the Stone of Earth and Sayo was dead. Nobuhiko almost attacked Misako in rage, but he paused when he saw Misako’s true Fangire body staring at him.

“So, you and the little bitch over here were moving to overthrow Tsukasa and I?” Misako asked, voice hollow. “Well, I’d like to see you follow through now that she’s dead and the Stone of Earth is mine. You move to betray Tsukasa… and I will protect him. For he loves me more than anyone ever has. Even my father. I will do anything for him… and as you’ve seen, I am willing to kill for him.” She stalked closer to him, “So, I suggest, Nobuhiko, for your own good, that you stay out of our way. Or else.”

“Or else what?”

Moving faster than he could imagine, Misako pounded him with black pearls. “Or else, my family heirloom, the Zanbat sword, will be stained with your blood. For my love… there is nothing that I will not do to defend him.”

Wataru awoke one morning a week or so later, only to find Taiga in another drunken stupor and that their penthouse had been broken into. Whoever had done so had stolen the Bloody Rose AND the Zanbat Sword.

At the sight of the smashed glass case where the Bloody Rose was kept, along with the sight of Otoya’s destroyed violin case and his portrait broken, Wataru nearly had a heart attack. “THE BLOODY ROSE!” He screamed. “It’s GONE!”

“Someone stole it last night.” Taiga muttered, stumbling into the room, drunk off his backside and slurring. “I wasn’t sure if I should have woken you up, but… I figured you’d find out on your own.”

If Taiga hadn’t been drunk and depressed, Wataru would have killed him.

The Bloody Rose was Wataru’s only link to Otoya, his father and to him, it was more valuable than gold. And it as GONE. Wataru then noticed that there was a note left behind and he gingerly picked it up.

What goes around comes around. It was Misako’s handwriting.

Wataru felt his heart break.

Taiga hiccupped. “She took the Zanbat sword, too.”

“I’m not concerned about that. She doesn’t know how to use it.”

Taiga looked at his husband and then, as soberly as he could muster, said, “She’ll figure it out.” He actually laughed, and then it turned into a sob. “He turned our daughter against us. She stole the Bloody Rose and the Zanbat sword to use against us. Why didn’t she just kill us in our sleep?”

A very arrogant voice broke through the silence. “Because killing you in your sleep would have been FAR too easy.”

Tsukasa was standing in a corner, smirking. “The Great Fangire King, a drunken mess. Oh, I had to see this for myself.”

Taiga had to be physically restrained by Wataru. “You bastard! How dare you!”

“How dare YOU. How could you treat your daughter in such a way?” Tsukasa asked. “Locking her in a castle to live out adolescence?”

“I wasn’t a perfect father. But I did the best that I could.” Taiga spat. “I wanted Misako to grow up safely ands he wasn’t going to do that when I had enemies ready to cut her down. I wanted to protect her from them… but I should’ve protected her from you!”

“Such arrogance.” Wataru muttered at Tsukasa.

“And like you were any better. Always making excuses for Taiga.” Tsukasa aimed his ire at Wataru. “You could have put a stop to it, but you were just as bad as him.”

“LIES!” Wataru yelled. Wataru rarely yelled. “I had three other children who also needed protecting. You think I enjoyed having Misako grow up hating Taiga and I? I didn’t. And things were changing. But you ruined everything.”

“I gave her more than either of you ever could.” Tsukasa smirked. “But no matter. Here’s the deal. You give control of your world to me and the forces of DaiShocker, and I’ll spare your lives and the lives of your children and friends. If you don’t, well, Misako’s just itching to take revenge.” He smiled. “And she’s more than happy to do to her own father what Zeus did to his.”

The next thing Tsukasa knew, he had been thrown clear out of the penthouse window. No matter. He figured they’d be in more of a bargaining mood when Misako came for them, Zanbat sword and all.

“To our Great Leader and his new Queen!” One of Tsukasa’s generals announced as he raised a goblet in a toast. “May DaiShocker live long and prosper!”

There was a general sound of cheering and Tsukasa smiled, before kissing Misako’s black-gloved hand.

“And may our love live long and prosper, as well.” He murmured to Misako.

Misako, looking resplendent in her golden and black wedding down, every bit the p bride of a Queenly nature, smiled softly, blushing. The wedding had gone as smoothly as possible, the two of them holding it in the Nega World, complete with Kurenai Otoya’s violin music.

“To our new Queen, Kadoya Misako!” One of the Dark Riders toasted the Queen of DaiShocker. “May her power encourage the spread of DaiShocker’s greatness!”

There was more cheering and Misako also raised her glass.

“I am proud to call such a beautiful woman my own grandchild.’ Otoya said, raising his glass in honor of Misako. “I am sure you will be a beautiful, powerful Queen.”

“I will and of course, as a wedding present to my love, I am conquering a world: my own.”

There were excited cheers throughout the dining hall.

“I am going to do to my father as Zeus did to Chronos and not only over throw him… but kill him. We will leave my world and everything in it either under our control or dead. But first… I would like to see my own castle burn in flames.”

There was more cheering and Tsukasa smiled, admiring how truly beautiful and dark Misako had become in such a short time. He’d groomed his queen well.

Misako raised her blood wine higher and shouted. “To our new world! To our reign of evil and darkness! To the greatness of DaiShocker!”

Stained glass littered the floor of the D&P boardroom as a frantic Wataru ran through the room, looking for Taiga. DaiShocker’s forces had already come through and Taiga had managed to get the Fujimori family and his son and daughters to a safe, unknown location, but Wataru had no idea where his husband actually was.

“Taiga! TAIGA!” Wataru yelled, hoping Misako hadn’t found him.

He got to Taiga’s office just in time to see Misako stab Taiga in the back with the Zanbat sword, Tsukasa standing behind her, hand on her shoulder.

“Wataru!” Taiga cried before his body shattered into pieces, the only thing left being the black leather glove.

Wataru was horrified.

Tsukasa smiled. “Amazing what one can do when the conditions are just right.”

As Taiga’s body (or at least what was left of it), rained down upon Wataru, all he could do was stare. His husband was gone.

Suddenly, Misako threw the only piece of the Bloody Rose she had left, the head at from the top of the neck, at Wataru’s feet.

“Surrender, Kiva.” She murmured, coldly. “Or we’ll destroy you, too.”

“We should just kill him.” Tsukasa suggested.

“No.” Misako murmured. “I want to give him a chance to surrender. Taiga refused, so we killed him.”

“Never.” Wataru raised his hand. “Kivat!”

Misako shrugged. “Suit yourself.”

The head of Kiva’s Emperor form fell to the ground as the armor collapsed, covered in blood. It had taken Wataru a short time before he died, clutching that black glove to him, not having enough time to mourn the loss of his love.

Wataru, being half Fangire, did not shatter into pieces, but he simply closed his eyes and died, hearing the sound of his father’s violin as he did, murmuring for his father and for Taiga.

Misako said nothing, simply stepping over his body, moving to burn D&P to the ground.

Tsukasa smirked softly as he followed her out.

Misako and Tsukasa were having a picnic as Castle Doran burned to the ground. Misako had wanted to stay there and watch her prison burn for the sheer pleasure of it, so Tsukasa had brought sushi boxes and they ate as the castle burned.

Misako chose the moment to toast the destruction of her world as the dragon gave a scream of pain and died.

“To DaiShocker’s greatness.” She murmured before drinking her blood wine. “And to our reign as its leaders.”

“May many more worlds fall before us.” Tsukasa kissed Misako, gently licking a bit of blood off her lips. “I love you, Misako, my beautiful Queen.”

“And I love you, Daishuuryou-sama…” She murmured, smiling, wickedly. “Now, what do we do next?”

“We enjoy our reign as the Leaders of DaiShocker.” He replied. “Or we could go home and…”

She never did let him finish that sentence.
