Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Prince's Harem ❯ That's a good question... ( Chapter 5 )

Daisuke and Takeru were laughing in the kitchen as Iori came in. Daisuke was cooking while Takeru was sitting on top of the table.

"Hello, Iori," called Takeru. "How are you today?"

"I have a message from Koushiro."

Daisuke turned around and pushed Takeru's legs apart and kissed Takeru. "You are always so serious, Iori. What is the problem?"

"The King is coming tomorrow."

Takeru was leaning on Daisuke and played with his hair. "And?"

"What does that have to do with us?"

Iori looked at the two slaves. "The King might want to know about the two of you. You do know that this is very unusual for a harem."

Daisuke shrugged. "I though that we were supposed to keep Ken happy."

"Most harems have more slaves. And usually a lot more competition. Takeru, you have the main bedroom, don't you?"

Takeru nodded. "Ken gave me the main bedroom and Daisuke has the second one. Koushiro and Jyou have one of the lesser ones as well as you."

"So then you are the head of the harem. Most places then Daisuke would be trying to displace you and become head."

Takeru giggled and kissed the top of Daisuke's head. "I don't think so."

"We spend most nights in Ken's bed anyway, so who cares what bedroom we have anyway?" replied Daisuke.

Iori got up and left shaking his head.

"He's so serious. Does it matter what others think?"

Takeru played with Daisuke's hair some more. "I don't know. We can ask Ken about it later."

Later that night, Takeru and Daisuke were with Ken in his bedroom. Ken was sitting on the loveseat with Daisuke curled up beside him with Daisuke's head in his lap. Takeru was sitting on the floor leaning on Ken's legs.

"Ken," started Takeru, "What is going to happen tomorrow?"

"Nothing unusual, Take. Nothing that you need to worry about."

"See, Takeru. Iori's just worrying over nothing," said Daisuke.

"What did you hear?" asked Ken.

"We heard that the King is coming tomorrow, and that he might be interested in us." replied Takeru. "That he might not be happy with us."

"Takeru, what my brother likes or doesn't like in a harem wouldn't affect you or Daisuke. I'm the highest peer of the realm outside of the King. What goes on in my harem is my business. "

Daisuke smiled and reached down to play with Takeru's hair. "Are you finished worrying now?"

Takeru nodded. "I just feel so content and happy here. I don't want anything to change."

*************************************************************** ***************************

The next morning Osamu arrived with Yamato. The two kings were ushered into Ken's study.

"Good day," said Ken. "What has brought you to the far end of your kingdom?"

Osamu and Yamato both sat down. Osamu studied Ken closely. "Have you ordered anyone killed lately?"

Yamato was surprised. One, at the directness of the question, and two, at the fact that the King's brother was the suspected assassin.

"I received information that someone was violating the law and decided that it would be best for their business to stop and them to disappear." Ken responded quite calm about the matter. "And may I ask why we are discussing crown business in front of a stranger?"

"This is King Yamato. He came to me with a problem of his. Some time ago his brother was taken by a slaver. That slaver was killed by your agents, I believe. We are trying to track down where his brother may be."

Ken studied Yamato. His blond hair and eyes reminded him of Takeru. But Takeru had said that his family was dead. Ken did not want to lose Takeru. If he was Yamato's brother, what would happen? Would he be allowed to stay with Ken or not? There were too many questions and too much to think about to make a sudden decision.

"What would happen if you find your brother?"

"I would free him from being a slave," responded Yamato. "I would not want anything bad to be happening to my brother. And I doubt that being a slave is what he would want in life."

"What if he enjoys his life?"

"How could he do that? My brother was not born to be a slave."

Ken nodded. "I see." He pulled a bell rope next to his desk. "Koushiro will show you to your rooms. I'm sure that you need to rest after your long journey.

Koushiro entered the room. "Yes, Prince Ken?"

"I need for you to show King Yamato, King Osamu and their entourage to their rooms."

Koushiro bowed and looked at the two kings. "If you would follow me sirs." Yamato followed Koushiro out of the door. Osamu stopped at the door and then closed it behind Yamato. He turned around and looked at Ken.

"Now that it's just you and me, what is really going on? You usually don't just take the law into your own hands. I sincerely doubt that a slaver would be putting you into any jeopardy, and I doubt I was in jeopardy either, or you would have told me. So I'm waiting for the real story." Osamu sat down, steepled his hands, and waited.

Ken leaned back in his chair and looked at this brother. "Are you sure you want to hear this?"

Osamu raised his eyebrows. "That bad?"

"It could be." Ken stood up out of his chair and walked over to the window and looked out. "I believe that I know where the prince is."

"That's good. So what is the problem?"

"The problem is Takeru is in my harem. He believes that his whole family died when he was captured, and he has fallen in love."

"With you I would guess. You never were into sex for pleasure alone."

Ken sighed and sat back down and looked at his brother. "So what do you do with a prince turned slave turned concubine who has no idea he has a family and is perfectly content?"

"That is going to be a good question. And one only Takeru can answer."
