Darkaria

Darkaria is a kingdom that once found roots on Earth, but due to an incident it now resides in an alternate dimension that's impossible to enter unless a dimensional portal is opened by the current ruler Tsubaki or his father Hozuki Watanuki. The land is governed by not only Tsubaki but also the 15 Darkaria Knights. The large island like land is divided into eight sections.

In the middle is large Darkaria castle in the middle that houses Tsubaki, No.1 Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and the Battle Maids and Butlers. Another section is around the castle, the business section where various companies deal with financial and citizenship that has tall and clean buildings, it's where No. 11, Mai Kusagishi, resides.

Around it are evenly proportional pie pieced territories with each governed by No. 2, No.3, No. 4, and No. 5. No. 2, Yami Izayoi, governs a section that has gothic look that houses the Darkaria ArmyArmy. No. 3, Shiroyuki Hana, governs a section with a clean, white, look that houses the Darkaria Police Force, Hanabi Mira and Rei Yamamoto also resides here. No. 4, Zaraki Inumuta, governs an area that has a scientific look and where the Darkaria Laboratory and Darkaria Library are also being held, No. 6 Sosuke Amagai, No. 7 Kon Sugimori, No. 13 Hannibal, Mabashi and Sasuna reside here.

No. 5, Kohaku Ryuuga, governs a section that has a renaissance look and houses the Darkaria Orphanage and Darkaria's Dragonian Squad, No. 8 Kimahara Ryuuga, No. 15 Yomi, Akamaru Ryuzetsu, Orenii Ryuhifu, and Hisui Ryusukeru reside here. Outside the territories is a large ring of forest, it's used to get rid of intruders without suffering citizen casualties. No. 9 Tsuchigumo Moiiretsu, No. 14 Kushinada, and No. 10 Tsukimaru Gekko reside here.

On a typical day in Darkaria, Kohaku and Kimahara return from a mission and report to Tsubaki, and like any other day Kohaku and Tsubaki bicker.

"Why did you beat up our client?", Tsubaki asks.

"Cause he was hitting on Kima. Any good sibling would've done the same thing.", Kohaku responds.

"I wish you would've used a more peaceful means of doing so, because of that incident consider your payment cut.", Tsubaki says to him.

Kohaku scowls, "Sure, neglect the children under my care like your father did to the human child-AHH!", a loud crack sound resounds through the room. The cause is by a shadow whip smacking Kohaku's rear which results in him kneeling on the ground and smacking it with an open palm. Kima jumps at the sound and notices Tsubaki's now red eyes, as he starts to get up she immediately steps in front of Kohaku,

"Lord Tsubaki! Please, my big brother didn't mean anything by what he said! You know him, he just hurts things out when doesn't get his way, so please I don't wish for a reenactment of three years ago!", Kimahara says to him with pleading eyes.

Tsubaki looks at Kima, then Kohaku, the Kinkaku and Ginkaku to which he notices their not satisfied with this. Kimahara notices and adds,

"Please Lord Tsubaki if it will satisfy you just give him any punishment, in fact I have a suggestion.", Tsubaki looks at her with slight curiosity.

"I'm listening", he says still standing.

Kima gives a small smile of slight relief, "I've heard it's close to graduation at the academy and it's about time for the usual training regiment to see if the students are ready. Though usually Yami-san and Shiroyuki-san do this but their out on missions, so you can use Kohaku and me as their replacements."

"Though your not being punished Kima.", Tsubaki replies.

"Yes I'm aware, but in technicalities I just talked back. So that is deserving of a punishment isn't it?", she asks in response.

Tsubaki looks at Kinkaku and Ginkaku who have a somewhat satisfied look at the idea, to which he closes his eyes and opens his eyes revealing they turned back to black.

"Very well, your suggestion will be his, and your, punishment.", Tsubaki says then sits down.

Kimahara breaths a sigh of relief, "Thank you Lord Tsubaki.", she bows to him.

Kohaku has since gotten up and listened from the background, "Fine, if it'll save me from another beating.", he says.

"Very well then, go to the school and introduce yourselves. Try to get them motivated to do their bests.", Tsubaki tells them.

"Yes, sir.", "Yes, Lord Tsubaki.", they both respond before leaving.

In the palace hallway Kohaku grumbles, "What's wrong?", Kimahara asks.

Kohaku looks at her, "I'm grateful for you saving my ass again, but I'm not used to being a 'hold back' instructor."

"I'd won't be that bad, besides if you fight them the same way you train the Dragonian Squad the students might end up quitting before even stepping out the door, and we don't want that.", Kima responds.

Kohaku sighs, "Fine, again it's better than getting my ass beat...?", he's presented a lollipop by Kima. He takes it and unwraps it before putting it into his mouth.

He then has a face of slight content, "Mmm, watermelon.", Kima gives a light laugh.

After walking through a good part of the business district they arrive at the academy. They enter the building and go to the headmaster's office and knock on the door which is then opened by said headmaster, "Ah, Mr. Kohaku, Ms. Kimahara, please come in.", they enter the office.

"I'm guessing Tsubaki told the jist of why we're here?", Kohaku asks.

"Yes, and regardless of circumstances I'm glad your here to substitute Mr. Yami and Ms. Shiroyuki, cause I was honestly afraid we're gonna have to cancel the tenement this year.", the headmaster says.

"Yeah, the schedule of us Knights can be a real bitch.", Kohaku responds still sucking on his lollipop.

"Right, well we have the students in the auditorium so if you'll please follow me.", the headmaster gets up and Kohaku and Kimahara follow him.

A blonde haired girl with red eyes silently stands at attention along with the other hopeful graduates, though internally, her mind is whirling with all sorts of emotions, from nervousness to excitement.

''I heard members of the Darkaria Knights oversee this examination, the strongest in the kingdom... am I seriously going to impress someone of that caliber?! No, can't panic, everyone will make fun of 'the little lamb' again!''

She silently breathes out to calm her nerves.

The auditorium doors open and the headmaster walks in followed by Kohaku and Kimahara, "Hello students and congratulations on getting this far. You'll soon be graduating from our academy, but that depends on these two. May I introduce two of the 15 Darkaria Knights, Kohaku Ryuga and Kimahara Ryuga."

With her heart nearly beating out of her chest, she and the other candidates salute, she tries desperately to not let her giddiyness show.

Kohaku steps up, "At ease.", he says, to which they all cease saluting. Kohaku starts walking in front, around, and in between the students while carefully eyeing them.

The girl begins to feel a tickle in her nose and tries to keep herself from sniffling, meanwhile, her eyes tear up a bit, inconveniently as Kohaku is coming nearby.

Kohaku stops in front of her, "Go ahead, I won't reduce it out of your final score.", he says to her.

Involuntarily, a small 'chuu!' is heard, quickly followed by a snicker or two, and her face going red.
