Emperor!Japan x Reader: So you're the emperor

                "Let me handle that mom. Here.. the tea. " (Name) gave her mother a small bag before turning to the other five. " Please make yourselves comfortable" .

                (name) was about to leave when Yao stopped her again.     
  
                " I did say I would treat you. Where do you think you're going?"

                "But"

                "Come join him. I can take care of this. Nice to see you again Yao. It's been a while." She said and bowed. Said man did likewise

                "I'm (Mother/name). Welcome to the (F/Name) restaurant." She said before retreating back to kitchen

                "So you do know my mom."

                "Old acquaintance........" Yao sang skipping up ahead

                "I don't like that sing song voice."( Name) stared at Yao blankly 
           
                ********************************************************************
     The six of them settled down at the table near the window. Yao and the guard stand near the window, behind Kiku while (Name) and him sit.
    "Why don't you come join us?" "It's ok" " No it's not ok. come sit."

     Yao flashed Kiku a glance who simply nod back.

    "Then if you don't mind me."

    "Alright then." She then turned to Kiku." So Kiku never been to a market before?"

    " Why do you ask?"

    " Cause nobody went to the market dress like ...that....You gonna get yourself a heat stroke."

    "At such a young age, you're quite smart." Kiku smiled, patting her head like one would do to a child. (Name) could feel steam emitting from her ears. " Hey I'm not that young ok.......I'm just well...missing a few centimeters..." Yao snickered at that.

    "How old are you?"    

    "Wow...that's blunt. But I'm 17. Yours?"

   "20" 

   "You know you're not that short. Your height just the same as the emperor when he's your age." Yao laughed but was silent the next moment for Kiku kicked him in the shin.

    " Woah...you guys worked in the Pearl castle?" (Name) asked oblivious to Kiku blushes."Yep....cool huh?" Yao smirked to which (Name) snort." Instead I kind of felt  sorry for you. The emperor must have made your life a living hell."

    " Aiyah who gave you the idea." Yao said glancing at Kiku. The emperor seemed to show no kind of emotion but he was actually heart broken hearing that.

   "I heard the man in the village said that the new emperor was still young, immature , cold-hearted, has the eyes that can practically see through your soul and freaking burn it..." (Name) listed out. Kiku could feel himself shake more when ( Name) spoke. 'So after all I'm nothing but trouble' he thought. "Even though I believe the fact that's he's young and can be a bit kinky sometime but the others fact seemed hard to be true.His way of seeing things might be different from us all but I thing whatever he was doing is good intention. He was trying his best to end this war you know. So I think he just need more time to prove himself." Kiku head shot up , meeting the girl gentle smile, he couldn't stop letting out a gentle chuckle as well.

    " I see...aru...It's nice to see that someone was still supporting the emperor." Yao smiled.

    "You know it's a little bored just sitting , sipping tea and talk like the old ladies. How about we have some quizzes?"

    "What's in for the winner." Kiku who seemed to be quiet since the beginning asked curiously.

    "Ohhohohohohoho....You're so full of yourself. Let's see...treat the person like royalty for a day." (Name) said

    'Wait till she see my true identity. ' " Deal" Kiku smirked.

    "Aiyah...I'll just stay out of this." Yao said waving his hands.

    "I'll go first then."Rubbing her hands together." I have two apple , my brother ask for one apple. How many apple do I have left?" (Name) said smirking.

    "Two you never gave him one" Kiku answered , casually sipping his tea.

    "Seem like I underestimated you. Your turn." (Name) raised an eyebrow. Fixing her siting position on the chair, head held high, eyes glinted with mischief. She looked no different than a cat ready to hunt down it prey.

   " I'll start. a man walking aimlessly in the rain. He did not bring his umbrella with him so..Why didn't his shirt get wet?" Kiku calmly asked , the whole time watching (name) every movement. The way her lips curved up into a smirk..wait a smirk...

    "Because he did not wear any...~"(Name) sang merrily.

    "Good...You turn."

    "Well...let's see." (Name) grinned.

    All the while , Yao, who wisely decided to step out from the start, watched the two amusingly.

    If (name) was the wind, joyful, energetic , sharp, Kiku would be a calm , clear but at the same time dangerous river. They shared a bond, a strong one at that. Yao couldn't stop himself from smiling of what to come in the future. Just maybe.....that girl right there would be his master's mistress.

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

     "That was fun." ( Name) giggled.

   "Hai very." Kiku smiled gently . He didn't remember the last time he felt so happy.    
   "It's your turn (Name)_chan"

   "Mine already?...." 'Shimata...I'm out of idea.'

   "Are you out of idea already?" Kiku taunted.

    'Is he a mind reader......?Damn...stop looking at me like that . Are you planning on burning my soul with those eyes.' (Name) adverted her gaze

    "No....wait...listen...What is 13579?" She asked

     'Huh..'.Kiku thought "I don't know tell me."

    "Nah uh."

    "Please"

    "No"

    "Please"

    "Think it through first."

    "Kiku. It's time we head back." Yao said smiling at Kiku hopeless attempt. He surely enjoy watching the show but the emperor had to return to the palace sooner or later.

     "I understand. so (Name) we'll put this on hold for awhile cause I'm not giving up on that last question."

     "Yeah sure till we meet again" (Name) smiled, standing up and bowed. Kiku along with the others returned the gesture.

     'I'm sure I'm going to see you sooner than you think.' He and his servant then left, leaving (Name) standing , questioning over his last smirk.


                                     ~A FEW MONTHS LATER~
      "(Name) this is not good.(NAME)!!!!!! Where are you?" (Mother/name) called out to her daughter. In her hands was a letter sealed with a royal mark.

     "Yes mom." (Name) poked her head out from her room.

     "This is crazy you got a letter from the emperor. He requested your present at his palace this afternoon."

      "I...What? and just when about I start to take a liking to him and his effort ending the stupid war." She grumbled. She took the letter from her mother , rereading it thoroughly again.

     "Well biscuit and sprinkle. This is no joke." She lowered the letter, mouth gaped." I don't get it what did I do?"

      "Miss (l/n) , we're here for your daughter." said a man looking almost like Yao stepped in.

      "No. You can't take her." (M/n) stated firmly stepping between said man and her beloved daughter .

      "You dare to disobey the king's order?" The man raised his eyebrow.

      "It's ok mother." ( Name) swiftly take a step in front of her mom, facing the man, she said coldly:
       "Give me a minute to make myself presentable...for the king."

          She returned to her room and started to change. ' Whoever this king think he is. If this is some bullshit. I'm gonna end him". she thought. (Name) stepped out , walking past her mother without glancing back, she followed the man to the carriage waiting outside. Her mother eyes watered.She didn't know what to do. Her baby girl was surely bold and straight forward, unlike others girl her age. She got attitude. If she had somehow angered the king then this might be the last time she ever saw (Name). (M/n) ran after , she hugged her daughter tightly from behind, not wanting to let go.

     "Please be safe"

     "I'll. I promised father to take care of you , did i not?" With one last glance (name) was gone.

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

     "I'm Leon by the way"

     "Huh...(name)."

     "I know"

           The two of them was now in the carriage, on their way to the capital where the Pearl palace resided

     "such dark color kimono." Leon monotonously pointed out."Ah....it reflects my emotion. Beside I have to at least look decent if this were to be my funeral." Surely her kimono was blank with red flower_red Lycoris. She wore black wooden sandals, blacks socks, with black ribbon oh her head.

     "I see. But I can assure you that this's not going to be your funeral. The emperor means you no harm." Leon turned to look at the scenery, not saying anything else

      'You can never be too careful .'

      They finally reached the palace.(Name) stepped down only to be greeted by none other than..

      "Wang Yao . What are you doing her?" " To greet you of course. Come with me the emperor is waiting in the garden."

      "I don't......Ah.." Not wasting a second Yao dragged (name) with him. Practically running down the hall. "Can't keep him waiting you know."

      "Oi.....hold...on..."

      "We're here. Now get in." Yao threw her in an empty room before forcefully closed the door. (name) fell face first to the wooden blank. She growled then sit up. She was about to unladylike screaming out some colorful words before she noticed a double door wide opened leading out to a beautiful, voluminous garden. In the middle stood a sakura tree.With each and every brand gracefully stretch out to the sunlight.  She stood up, hurriedly went outside. She moved closer to the tree before lifting her hand to touch .

      "Wow. You surely is being taken good care of." (Name) whispered. A gentle breeze suddenly went by making her hair swayed, falling out of her messily made bun. at the same time, the wind swept of some of the flower on its way, the petal dancing together creating a magical swirl of sweet pink . (Name) giggled as the petal tickled her nose. She looked up admiring the sight unknowing that someone was watching her every movement.

      "It's beautiful, isn't? " The voice broke (Name) from her trance . That voice.....it seemed so....

      "familiar" She turned to the source of the voice only to be met with soft brown orbs staring at her. It was none other than Kiku siting on the porch. (Name) felt so silly for not notice this. He was in his tailor_made kimono. The kimono only wore by the king himself. His raven black hair swayed slightly as another wind went by, shimmering in the morning sunlight. He was looking at her with such emotion she never seen before. (Name) could felt her heart skip a beat and then two...and then...three. Time seemed to slowed down as (Name) stood there eyes widen, mouth gaped.

      "What's with that reaction. " He chuckled at (Name). She looked just like those cat that got caught from eating their master food. "You going to caught a fly with a mouth that big, (name)"

     "Yeah...right....I should ask why are you here? But then again I'm not an idiot.....your majesty." She said mockingly as she bowed to him.

     " No need for such honorific, (name). And could you least left that mocking tone at home?" HE frowned. "Come sit"

      "I could not help myself." She quickly obeyed.

      " So why did you call me here, your majesty?" (Name) quickly asked.' oh...crap...he's mad about what I said about him, isn't it? I mean look at his face.'

      "To see you of course.And call me Kiku. But I didn't expect you to put on such grief color kimono."He frowned "Are you not happy to see me."

      "Ahahahahaha....no...no.I thought I was getting my head chopped of or something,...am I? " She paused to look at him "So at least I should wear something decent when I die."

      "I would never do such a thing to you"

      "Even after what i said back then?"

      "Maybe I should reconsider."

      "Imsorrypleasesorryforunderestimatedyousorryforthinkingthatyouareamobilizedstonesorry."

      "Mobilized stone?"

      "ahaha forget about that please."

       Kiku blinked at (Name) then looked forward, facing the tree.   

      "What you said was ...true at some point and ....." He was facing her now" It somehow inspired me too.....so Thank you"

      "Really?"

      "Yes...." He nodded" Beside you're too special"  He mumbled.

      "Did you say something?"She asked not getting the later sentence.

      "No..."

       With that being said. They continue to admiring the scenery. "Well this is awkward ." She grinned

      "Let's introduce again , shall we? My name is Kiku Honda the emperor of Japan."

       "My name is (name)(l/n). Daughter of (father/name)(l/n)_ businessman "

       They looked at each other before (Name) turned away shyly.

       " You know( Name) . I actually missed you for those past few months." Kiku quietly said.

       " How so?" She mocked

      "Maybe you've become something so precious to me. I never thought I would say this but I like you no ....more like love you. It's the first time I ever experienced such emotion. And for the first time in forever, someone was able to make me feel like this" He blushed

       "Well I gotta admit I miss you too and I kinda...l....love you too.....you sneaky lil emperor." (Name) replied also blushing
 
       " What a mouth . I think I need a lot of time to teach you to behaved then." He smirked .

        "Oh no no no. Say did you solve the question I gave you?"

        "Uhm...."

        "You can't , can you?"

        " I ......um.."

        " Hah. I won stoned  face.And as of the deal I'm going to be treated like royalty for a day. Come here Kiku. Bow down to your queen." She said smugly. He frowned and suddenly pulled her into his lap. He chuckled as she blushed red. With a low voice he whispered in her ears:

                    " As if you're not going to be one "
     
                                           ~Extra~
         "What's the answer anyway?" Kiku asked ( Name) . Curiosity laced in his voice.

        "I just blurted out at that moment. There's no answer. But ...a win is a win."

         Kiku stared blankly at (Name). She sweated. With a dangerous tone he said:
         "That's it" He quickly picked her up, swinging her over his shoulder " I guess I have to pop the cherry earlier than I expected." He huskily said.

         " Oi put me down bastard."

         "I'm a legality conceived child, sakura."

         "Yao, Leon....help meh..."

         "Yao and Leon at your service...How..." Kiku stared them down    

         "We'll be out now."

         "NOOOOO."
