Kuroko Tetsuya was offered to the devil of Teiko, in exchange for resources and capital. Kirisaki Daiichi did not possess sufficient strength to gain perfect control over the natural born raw power Kuroko Tetsuya had possessed. Amaya had decided Kuroko Tetsuya is to be offered as sacrifice to the devil of Teiko. To rid of the pesky cursed vanishing arts. Without Kuroko Tetsuya, Kirisaki Daiichi would conquer the world. Mayuzumi believed the day when Tetsuya would return to the human world would come. The sudden emergence of Kuroko's strong spiritual powers had given Mayuzumi hope. Mayuzumi had realized, Tetsuya was alive. And he was stronger than ever. Mayuzumi waited for the day when Tetsuya would return to pronounce peace to the world.

Three days after Mayuzumi had sensed Kuroko's rare spiritual power came back to life, Amaya had led the ambush elite team into the outskirts, the border between Kirisaki Daiichi, Seirin and Teiko. The elite team was only moved in special situations. Amaya's peculiar behaviour had caught Mayuzumi's observant attention. I felt Tetsuya's spiritual power few days ago. It can't be a coincidence, right? Mayuzumi's hypothesis was right, when Amaya had returned to the palace announcing an all-out war against Teiko. Amaya had barged into Hanamiya's chambers, on the moment when Hanamiya and Mayuzumi were in the middle of a little kissing session. Hanamiya had ignored Amaya, had continued dominating his lover with a deep kiss. Mayuzumi had flushed, the faint erubescent tint was imperceptible on his pale cheeks.

"Hey!" Amaya had protested, glaring at the couple. "This is important, you bastard!"

"You barged into my quarters without knocking. This is your punishment, Amaya." Hanamiya had smirked, releasing his lover with an inconceivable trail of saliva on their tail.

"You bastard Makoto. I didn't kill the entire clan so that you can gain a lover." Amaya had scoffed, sarcasm was laced in his words.

"So, what are you here for? After taking my elite battalion, you ran between your tails?" Hanamiya had teased.

"We have angered Teiko. We're going to battle. An all-out war." Amaya reported. Hanamiya and Mayuzumi had turned pale.

"What did you just say? We angered Teiko?" Hanamiya questioned. "What did you do, Amaya?"

Amaya draw a chair next to their bed and sighed. "It was Tetsuya and his guard. They were at the borders. And I sort of lost it."

"His guard?" Mayuzumi had asked. Mayuzumi had resented his uncle for selling him to the king of Kirisaki Daiichi, but he was interested what could have transpired at the borders.

"A soldier from Teiko, he was assigned to protect Tetsuya." Amaya had replied, trepidation had emerged, reflecting clearly in his expressions. "They weren't human! The guard was a spirit fox. I am positive there will be stronger people when the war starts. The world is over!"

"And...pray, tell me, why would Teiko go through such lengths to protect a pathetic little sacrifice? He was supposed to have died eleven years ago." Hanamiya was sceptical, half of his consciousness was praying everything was a lie. He had pondered on the underlying reason.

Amaya had sighed in exasperation. "Tetsuya is now the wife of the frightening Teiko's master. He's been marked, his body was infused with the devil's poison. He no longer lives the same time frame of humans."

Hanamiya and Mayuzumi were beyond devastated. They were horrified, dismayed and traumatized. The horror of enraging Teiko was beyond imaginable. And Kirisaki Daiichi had hurt the beloved treasure of Teiko's devil master. "What have you done..." Hanamiya wallowed himself in feelings of ruth. But there was no time for pity and regrets. Amaya's actions as the advisor of the country represent the actions of Kirisaki Daiichi.

"Amaya, contact all the leaders of the countries. This is an emergency. We have to act fast, before Teiko strikes." Hanamiya had ordered. "We will strike before they do." Amaya bowed, retreating to accomplish the tasks Hanamiya had ordered him to.

"A wife? But Tetsuya a guy though," Mayuzumi had commented after Amaya had left.

"Aren't you a guy too? Your body has become the likes of a woman though," Hanamiya replied, pulling Mayuzumi into another deep kiss. "You're both brothers after all. Two peas of the same pod. It appears that your half-brother is also a submissive in nature. He can't live without a dominant, just like how you did."

Initiating a conference involving rulers of the human lands was a feat that has never been done before. Hanamiya Makoto may be a tyrant ruler, his skills had warrant recognition. He is a man with perfect leadership skills, the perfect choice to rule the lands. The conference had involved the lands from Seiho, Shinkyo, Senshinkan, Josei and Fukada Sogo. These countries were scattered all over the world, each have an identity of their own. Hanamiya Makoto was an influential man, who is capable of considering the needs, conditions and requirements of each country. He possessed natural talents of the sharp astute and perspicacious characteristics of a true leader.

The current state of the country had rubbed Mayuzumi in disapproving way. He had a bad feeling about this. He didn't know the stupidity of his uncle, to the extent of declaring war against Teiko. The state conference had lasted three days. Faces he had never seen before, famous people and guards from various countries had loitered and occupied the palace. It left a bad taste in his mouth. He sighed, resting idly on the elegant mahogany window sill of Hanamiya's quarters.

The boisterous banter of the unquestionable leaders had displayed stirred desires of victory. "Well well. Let's see what we have here." the leader of Shinkyo announced. His name was Tanimura Yusuke. "Isn't this sad? We're here to listen to what the great Kirisaki Daiichi have made up this time."

"And you're part of it, like it or not, you're still here." The leader of Seiho had retorted.

"What kind of bad news you have for us this time, Family Killer Kisaragi Amaya?" The leader of Fukada Sogo had wondered.

Amaya had banged his fists on the table. "Don't call me that. How dare you? You people of Fukada Sogo are the ones who would jump in joy when you used me to kill the Kuroko clan." Amaya had glared at the leader of Fukada Sogo, Ishida Hideki. "No, it wasn't you. It was your nasty advisor. Seems like he's absent today."

Hanamiya banged the table. "That's enough. We're gathered here, to discuss on a crisis which is about to befall us. We will protect our lands which our ancestors have protected for the past millennium. Now is our turn to do so. As humans we will protect our homeland capital."

The leader of Seiho had sighed after Hanamiya's little speech. "I wonder of the emergency that the approval of six of us is necessary. Otherwise it doesn't sound like Kirisaki Daiichi to spend so much effort and resources to gather all the leaders of the countries. However I do not see Seirin representative joining us though. If I must speculate, it must be a crisis on a larger scale, like a war?"

"A war?!" The leaders entered into a state of exasperation.

Amaya and Hanamiya sighed. "Yes, Iwamura Tsutomu of Seiho. You are right. A war is right on our tail. An all-out war with the empire of Teiko." Hanamiya announced, making sure every leader is aware of the parlousity of the situation.

Ishida had shaken the table off balance. "How can that be? Teiko had never interfered with the human and state affairs of the lands. Why now?!" He, like the rest of the leaders, had turned pale white, blood and energy had been drained from his face. "Why the sudden change of heart? We cannot possibly win against Teiko empire! Have you realized the true form of the Teiko empire?"

"Seems like even a rotten leader like you also have done his homework." said Hanamiya. "You are sharp."

Ishida clicked his tongue. "Tch. You underestimate me. My country, and my legacy was the first to discover and report the supernatural phenomenon around the lands of Teiko. The people of Teiko, are not human!" His words had awakened the appalling state they were in.

"I thought it was just a myth? A legend?" Tanimura had questioned. "We have not seen mystical creatures for the past one hundred years."

"That's because they do not leave lands of Teiko. Seirin is probably the only empire which joint hands with Teiko." said Ishida. "They have a joint school allowing people from both lands to attend. Advisor Kisaragi, about your missing nephew, since you couldn't confirm his status all this time, it must mean he was kept within the lands of Teiko all these years. Humans cannot cross the borders without permission of the devil master."

"We can still fend off the military forces of Teiko. I am from the branch family of the Kuroko clan." said Amaya. "My strength may not as strong as the main family, we can still survive this war!"

Tanimura had huffed. "How can we tell? Aren't you a failure of your family? Isn't that why you killed your entire clan? You're useless, just as powerless as everyone here."

"No." Hanamiya had disagreed with Tanimura in disapproval. "Amaya's idea is great. Even with a small portion of the Kuroko clan we can make a huge difference. And we have Mayuzumi Chihiro, Kuroko Tetsuya's half sibling. The power he wields is just as powerful as the heir. We will win this war."

Amaya nodded. "I beg you, lend us your strength with Teiko's invasion. Those who agree, please raise your hands." The first to agree were the leaders from the Alliance, Seiho, Shinkyo and Senshinkan; followed by Josei, and lastly Fukada Sogo.Ishida had clicked his tongue when he raised his hand in approval. There was no way out. It was their only escape route. Seiho, Shinkyo and Senshinkan were bound by a pact of Alliance, which was formed during the days of their ancestors. Resources were scarce, capital was lacking and the people had no chance of survival. Only death awaits. To conquer survival, the ancestors had made a pact, to help each other, lands of the same province, sharing their resources and capital to ensure survival to end of the days.

"Very well. Thank you for your approval. We will join forces, and dethrone Teiko!" Amaya had announced the results. Hanamiya smirked. Everything up till now have been running smoothly according to his perfect plan. On the day of the new moon shall be the day we shall dethrone Teiko. The days human cower in fear of Teiko is over. The world is evolving into a new era.
