Moon Princess
Chapters 10
"Hey you, how cruel your words are. Do you hate me so much?" asked Rikuo who was getting annoyed after hearing Youri's words.
"Pffit...!!" Ichigo held back a laugh at Rikuo and Youri's behavior. For a moment he forgot that last night he could not sleep because he was afraid of the demons, even he felt almost used to the behavior of the two of them.
"Hey weird girl, what are you laughing at? Do you think this is funny, huh?" asked Rikuo annoyed.
"Ah. sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." Ichigo stammered.
"Huh... But, why did you leave Kichiro this time? Don't you always take her wherever you go? Wait for.. Don't you deliberately leave us and want to go alone with this weird girl?!" Rikuo could not believe what he said himself, Youri looked surprised and her face flushed red but she said nothing.
Ichigo who is confused and still does not understand what is really happening is silent, but his heart beats when he sees Youri's reddened face. Rikuo continued to babble but Youri remained silent and did not respond to Rikuo's words.
"Welcome Mr. Youri, Miss Ichigo, and Mr. Rikuo. Come with me, His Majesty Emperor Zuko is waiting for you." A palace maid welcomes Ichigo and Youri. They then headed to the Dragon Pavilion where Emperor Zuko was.

From a distance, they saw a female servant running towards the place they were heading to. Feeling that something was wrong, they hurried to follow the waiter to find out what was going on.
"Let's go, you also follow." Emperor Zuko ordered.
They all rushed to leave the Dragon Pavilion and head to the Peach Pavilion to meet Queen Katsura. Upon arriving at Queen Katsura's room, they were all shocked to find no one there. Emperor Zuko grew increasingly panicked and immediately gave orders to find the Queen. As everyone panics and begins to search for the Queen's whereabouts, Youri catches Ichigo's suddenly limp body and nearly falls down.
"Tsukiko." muttered Queen Katsura who suddenly appeared from the direction of the lotus pond.
"Katsura... How did you get here? Are you all right?" Emperor Zuko greeted the arrival of Queen Katsura with questions and panic, but Queen Katsura kept staring at Ichigo until tears flowed down her cheeks.
Slowly he stepped closer to Ichigo who turned out to be stunned when he saw Queen Katsura, he subconsciously placed his palm on his chest. It feels warm but painful. His heart churned and his entire body started to limp.
As Queen Katsura reached out her hand about to caress Ichigo's face, the golden light appeared again and reached Queen Katsura's hand. At first glance, Tsukiko's figure was smiling and slowly melted into golden light grains. The light then radiated to Queen Katsura's body and fused with her body. Before long, Queen Katsura's body shone and she felt her body recovering, her life energy as if it was starting to slowly recover. Everyone was astonished and astonished at what was happening before their eyes.
"Teratai." said Queen Katsura slowly as she saw Ichigo's forehead giving off a golden white lotus-shaped light.
"Eh..? His Majesty "said Ichigo nervously, the atmosphere became tense. Ichigo's face is confused and he doesn't know what to do. The golden-white light continued to radiate out and increasingly shine along with Ichigo's body which grew limp and finally collapsed.
