Nothing Is Always As It Seems....

Summary:

Two years have passed and Inazuma is finally clear, except.... The Kujou Family's reign was replaced by The Kamisato Family. Hopefully, it's safer than the first reign. Of course, Kamisato Ayato cuts The Kujou Family *some* slack and gifts them a mansion near the palace.

Shinobu, Itto, Heizou, Kokomi, Kazuha, and Yoimiya sail back to Inazuma on Beidou's ship in hopes that everything will be alright. Except the real truth shocks them more than anything else.

Please read Peasants and Royals first to understand this better!

Chapter 1: I. Plans

Chapter Text

Two years had passed since the riot in Inazuma. Life was peaceful, friendships were made. Some would even say that they were lasting..... Long-lasting.

"Guys! Listen!" Kokomi sat on the grass next to Shinobu, Heizou, and Itto excitedly. "Yoimiya and Kazuha are on their way back to Inazuma!" Her smile was wide as she saw all of their faces look... Shocked. 

"What?" Shinobu looked at Kokomi a bit seriously, "Inazuma's safe? Are you sure about that?" She played with the grass a bit, "I'm not going back unless you're one hundred percent sure." Shinobu looked at Itto who was smiling widely. 

Itto's eyes were wide, wide as the bread rolls he ate back in Inazuma. "So, I get to see Sara again?" He squealed and squeezed Shinobu's hands in excitement, "I'm so happy!" He sniffled a bit as tears were slowly forming.

Heizou's eyes were fixated on two flowers: Forget-Me-Nots and Yellow Roses. He still remembered the incident, what happened two years ago.

 

'Serving a king that's corrupt. Is that what you really wanted?'

 

"I also heard that Gorou is serving a disciplinary period, so he won't be a burden to us."  Kokomi softly smiled, "Heizou, are you okay? You haven't said anything." Her attention looked over at the young man that was sitting across from her. 

"Yeah, I'm alright." Heizou looked up at Kokomi at smiled slightly. "Thanks for asking." 

"No problem." 

Shinobu looked at Heizou and smiled, "You guys ready to go home?" Her smile looked around at everyone in the circle.

Everyone smiled, laughed, and cried a bit. Eventually everyone said one single phrase, each was worded with their own style but it said the same thing.

 

"Let's go home, okay? I think Inazuma missed us."
