Maybe…just maybe…What if the Shibuya Yuuri we all know and love, was a girl? No seriously, what do you think? I'm not trying to put down the shounnen-ai lovers out there, especially the WolframxYuuri or ConradxYuuri, GwendalxYuuri, and so on and so forth, lovers out there. I was just messing around and had these strange thoughts in my head. This is simply a fan fiction and I still highly respect Takabayashi Tomo-sama for creating this wonderful manga, even though I'm not really fan of shounnen-ai to being with. Okay fine, I dislike shounnen-ai 'ya happy?! But of course, this does not matter to the shounnen-ai lovers out there right? I'm not doing this to turn you down, just a simple fantasized thing I made.
Oh yeah, I don't trust the subbing of some fan subs, so please tell me if I misspelled some names, especially the last name.
Based on every episode. Yes I was watching each episode while typing this, the least you guys can do is read it!
A hot summer day in America; a perfect day for swimming at the beach, stuffing your face up with ice cream, but not for this person. The young and beautiful mother who is bearing her second child, riding a taxi with a handsome and mysterious man is complaining about the weather.
"I wish I wasn't pregnant in the summer!" she complained "I'm all hot and sweaty and I can't eat cold things. Even my make-up is melting, not to mention I'm clumsy and all worn-out."
"I didn't notice. You are still beautiful, so beautiful that you could stop this car" he replied as he held her hand softly "Let's get through this summer and raise a healthy child. In my hometown, births in April are celebrated the most and they are called 'Yuuri'"
The young soon-to-be mother smiled at him so lovingly "April is called…Yuuri"
The car did not stop as it continued out on the long trip against the hot burning sun, soon to prosper the light of a new life.
Fifteen years later…
Shibuya Yuuri, a cute and healthy fifteen year-old teenage high school girl, she had long black hair which she usually tied in a high ponytail. To match her black hair, she was given a pair of glistening black eyes. Some people said she was cute, but in a 'chibi' sort of way. She was walking along the corridors of the school when she happened to pass by the music hall. Inside, she heard some familiar voices, in fact these were the voices she hated to hear. The voices of her former band mates. She was the member of a band before as the lead singer, yet this was in the past. How she longed to be able t go up on stage and continue singing her song and scream her lungs out of excitement. Except now, she just couldn't, at least not now. Maybe not even ever, but it wasn't her fault now was it?
"Hey Shibuya" said a male student from behind her "What are you thinking?"
"Oh, uhm nothing"
"Are you thinking of joining the band again? Give it up. I hear their practice is intense, you might not handle it well. Unless you wanna become a star that fast"
"But…it was still fun"
"Huh?"
"It was nothing, I was just watching"
Just watching…'Just watching' was her last thought as she walked away. Thoughts entered her mind as she just strolled away on the street, thinking positively just as she always would. I can't go on regretting things like that. He's right, I should just take advantage of my free time and go all out. But still…
"Hey you, Murata!" Yuuri heard a scream from around the corner. She stopped in her steps and slowly peaked from the corner. There she saw about five tough looking high school girls bullying a meek-looking ex-classmate of hers, Murata Ken.
"You don't wanna play with us cutie?" asked one.
"Mr. Straight A student has to study eh?"
"As expected from a new student"
Wait a second…Yuuri looked back for a moment, Isn't that Murata Ken-san?
"I don't plan to hang around with you girls. Anyway I don't have any money…"
Hmm…whatever. If I pretend I'm just passing by, they won't even notice me. He was in a couple of my classes before, but we've never really talked to each other. It's not like we're friends…and…
For a couple of moments, they're eyes met into a long and hard invisible conversation. Murata's eyes had a surprised look in them, but at the same time a certain longing to be helped. Yuuri noticed this and thought that she could never take the blood of someone spilled on her hands. At least hypothetically speaking that is. Finally, she decided to help.
"Hey, what're you guys doing over there?"
They turned their heads around with a slight "Huh?" coming out of their mouths as they saw the girl who spoke to them. Yuuri got off her bike and tried to tell them.
"I don't suppose you're doing community service?"
"Shibuya…" Murata whispered to himself.
"Well if it isn't Shibuya"
"What, are you guys friends or something? Or maybe even more"
Not a chance…Yuuri thought to herself.
"Perfect. Why don't you contribute to our group as well? Just give us your--"
Once they turned around, they had just realized that their prey had escaped their grasp.
You've got to be kidding me…Yuuri was shocked that the person she was trying to help had just ran away, leaving her in the dust.
"Great, thanks to you our prey just ran away"
"What're you going to do about it?"
"Well?" one of the female bullies grabbed Yuuri's blouse and pinned her to the wall "What're you going to do then, Shibuya Yuuri?"
"Or is Harajyuku at a disadvantage?"
((Author's Note: They are making fun of Yuuri's name because Shibuya and Harajyuku are well-known train-stations. And since "yuuri" can mean "disadvantageous" as well, he makes jokes of Yuuri's name with an antonym))
"I've heard that pun 50,000 since I was born…If you have any complaints take them up with the one who named me"
A flashback came to Yuuri's mind and remembered her mother's explanation why she was named so.
"Well, this really cool and professional fencer was happy and just smiled and your name just popped into my head. And although your father, who works at the bank, is always complaining about profitability, that isn't why I named you. Okay, Yu-chan? You are Yuuri because you were born on April. Cute, isn't it? Don't you feel your mother's love?"
((Author's Note: "Yuuri" can also mean "profitability"))
"He-hey, what're you doing?" said Yuuri as she was being dragged into the girls' bathroom. They opened up the stall and bent her head down to the toilet.
"Wait a minute, don't tell me you guys are…This is not what you usually to do bully girls you know!"
"Just for your information, you little scamp, this is what happens when you get in our way" they pushed down the lever to flush the toilet and began their reign of terror on Yuuri.
"S-s-s-STOP!!!"
Without warning, a gigantic black hole appeared amidst the water and sucked in everything around her. An exciting, and at the same time, frightening sensation filled her body. This wasn't normal, this was the path to a new world.
What in the world is a black hole doing in the toilet? Did I just die or something? Is this a dream? Possibly!? If this isn't a dream, could I be the first girl to get flushed down a toilet??!!!
Before Yuuri knew it, everything around her became dry. The disgusting scenery of the inside of a toilet bowl was replaced by a serene landscape, surrounded by flowers and fresh grass. The sky above her seemed strange, since she came in through a toilet. Was this a dream? She thought. The ground felt real enough, so it had to be real. Still, how on earth did this all end up in a sewage system?
What just…happened? Oh yeah, I got flushed down the toilet. Hold on, there must be a logical explanation for this…She sat up from her position and looked up, trying to think every detail through. She felt her wet arm and raised it up, disgusted by the fact that she was drenched in toilet water.
"Eww…disgusting…" she complained Maybe this is a dream…She pinched her own cheeks hardly until they were red. Guess this is for real then…Maybe this is some special sewage system wherein I've been transported to a different part of the world. She saw a blonde woman in an old Alps-type outfit and called to her.
"Hey! Excuse me, miss, could you tell me where I am?" she asked.
"Ah…!" the girl was surprised and was looking at Yuuri with a frightened expression on her face. She even dropped the fruits she was carrying.
"Oh, sorry…" Yuuri picked up one to give to the girl "These are some interesting fruits you have, are they apples? Well it's a weird color…" The girl suddenly ran away screaming and came across a bunch of people wearing the same style of clothing as her.
"Huh? This is a different country then..."
The people suddenly throwing stones at her. Yuuri was slowly getting hurt so she back away.
"What's going on? Please stop! Is this because I'm not wearing the same clothes?" she screamed out pleading for them to stop "I-I'll get some other clothes then, or maybe because I trespassed or something?! Please stop!"
A big, blonde, and well-built man ridding a horse appeared out of nowhere. He spoke some strange language, but it was enough to stop the people from throwing rocks at her.
"I'm saved…Are you the mayor here or something? Thanks for stopping them…"
Just like the others, he didn't speak Japanese. He went down from his horse and approached Yuuri. He suddenly grabbed her head and squeezed it very hard that she started to squeal in pain.
"He-hey! Stop it! My head isn't a stress ball! Gah…arrrghhhh!!!" a painful feeling shot up towards her head. She knelt down and held her head where it hurt the most. She heard some muttering from the crowd, which sounded a lot like Japanese.
"Well?" the man asked her as she looked up to him "Can you understand us now?"
"Ah…it feels weird to see a foreigner speak so fluently in Japanese, but that's not a bad thing of course! So anyway…how do I explain this…well I ended up here and well, where is this place?"
"Geez, just when I thought you were a worthy person, the next Maou is just an idiot" he said.
"An idiot? Wait just a minute, how can you call someone you just met an idiot?" she stood back up, standing her ground.
"I-it got back up! Hide the children now!" said one villager.
"It's no use, it's all over now. This village will be burned down just like Kentanau twenty years ago"
"Now wait, he's unarmed" said another male villager "And look at her hair and eyes, they are just like those of Soukoku. If we can get our hands on that Soukoku stuff, we'll obtain the strength of Froush"
"I've heard about that" said the blonde girl from before "I've heard they have a huge reward for it"
What are they talking about? Thought Yuuri But either way this situation looks bad. I could try to run away, but what of they catch up to me? They also have weapons, and this guy has a horse!
"Calm down first" said the guy who just squeezed her head "This kid hasn't succumbed to anything yet. If we can persuade her here and now…"
A battalion of galloping horses came from behind. One of the riders suddenly shout out "Yuuri!" So Yuuri turned around and saw about three men riding horses at a fast pace towards her. He had short brown hair and long slit brown eyes, and he looked really worried.
"Yuuri!" he yelled out once more.
Could he be a knightly prince here to save me? If he is, he's really handsome…She looked upwards and saw what she never expected in her life, a real live flying skeleton. Oh my god! Why is there a flying skeleton!!? Wait, think calmly, maybe there's a wire or its being pulled from above.
"Don't draw your swords against the villagers, they aren't soldiers" said the so-called 'knightly prince'.
"Damn, they're already here" said the head-squeezer as he got up back on his horse. He drew his sword and prepared for a fight as the knightly prince drew out his sword as well, attacking the blonde man.
"Get away from Yuuri, Adelbert!"
"Gaaah!!!" Adelbert prepared for the incoming attack.
"Adelbert von Grats, why do you encroach upon our boundaries?!"
KLANG! The two swords met and a battle had just begun.
"Conrad Weller, superior among these cowards" replied Adelbert as he pushed away Conrad.
"Oh, this is like medieval when two people have to announce themselves before engaging in battle" she said "Wait, do people even do that anymore nowadays? Wha-ARRGGHH!!!"
Before she knew it, she was being lifted up in the air by the skeleton.
"No way!! He-hey! Don't let them see my underwear!" she said as she covered her underwear by bending her knees.
"Ha, very clever, using those vermin to do you dirty work for you" said Adelbert.
"They are faithful to us" said Conrad "They do not succumb to resentment and lose themselves"
"I see, and how about you, Sir Weller?" he said "Don't you think it's a pity to waste your skills for bastards like them?"
"Unfortunately, Adelbert, I'm not as compassionate as you"
From the distance, the two men who were with Conrad earlier, approached him.
"Your Excellency!" they said simultaneously.
"I'll retreat for now" he looked up to Yuuri and said "You just be patient, I'll be back to save you!"
"He-hey, don't look up here!" she blushed.
"Don't chase him!" Conrad commanded his men.
Save me? Just which side is trying to take me?
Conrad let Yuuri sit behind him on his horse and brought her to another village. She geld on to his sides tightly as she was not used to riding horses. They approached a small house, and from that house emerged a tall and beautiful man. He had long silver hair and his face was ten times more gorgeous than any woman she has ever seen. He looked at her so lovingly as if she were his long lost child or something.
"Your Majesty…"
"Majesty? You mean me?" she asked as she saw another flying skeleton land on the roof "There's another one! These things must be being pulled somewhere…"
"Your Majesty…" said Conrad "Please dismount slowly"
"Ye-yeah…" she said as she tried to get down. But since she was wearing a skirt, she had a hard time and nearly fell down. The long-haired man caught her in his arms, making her avoid her painful injury.
"Your Majesty!" he said as he helped her stand up.
"Th-thanks…" she said gratefully.
"Ah…your Majesty, I am relieved to see that you are safe. I, Gunter von Christ, have been waiting patiently and anxiously for this day"
"Ahaha…ugh ow, ow…"
"Your Majesty, are you hurt somewhere?"
"Your bottom hurts doesn't it your Majesty?" asked Conrad "This is the first time you've ridden before"
"First time? Don't they teach horse riding in elementary school?" asked Gunter "Why was the next king chosen from that kind of world?"
"That aside, von Grats beat me to him, Gunter"
"Adelbert did?" said Gunter in surprise "Your Majesty, did anything happen to you?"
"Well…they did surround me and threw rocks at me…"
"How awful…" he said "Oh, Your Majesty, why are you able to understand our language?"
"What are you talking about? Your Japanese is perfect" she said "Where are you from?"
"Where am I from?" he replied "I'm from here"
"Here? But where is here anyway? Aren't you born in Japan or something?"
"Your Majesty, we are not in Japan" said Conrad.
"Oh, then, where are we? Hey, then why are you speaking Japanese?"
"We're not"
"Eh?"
"This isn't Japan or where you came from"
"Wh-what do you mean…uhm, Conrad?"
"Haha, when you're used to English, 'Conrad' is easier to say. A lot of people I know say it that way"
"Have I…met you before?" she asked him reluctantly.
"No" he replied sternly.
They went inside and gave Yuuri a robe to wear since her clothes were wet. They let her dry up by the warm fire. She didn't feel quite comfortable having to take off her clothes in front of men, but it was good the left the room while she was getting changed.
"Your Majesty, you wear black everyday? That must be brilliant!" said Gunter "Only those born to be our royalty get to wear as much black as you do. Those brilliant black hair and eyes, you truly are our Majesty"
"Th-thanks…but this is only my school uniform" she said "And in Japan, black hair and eyes are very common "This must be a dream…but I confirmed it wasn't just a while ago…I mean I felt pain. Ah! I know, this must be a hidden camera show. You guys can stop pretending and come out, this isn't funny!"
"Please calm down your Majesty" said Gunter "I will explain it to you thoroughly"
"Fine then, I'll play along…" she said as she sat back down.
"Eighteen years ago, your Majesty's spirit was supposed to be born here. Either it was the war at that time, or a feeling that your life was in danger, His Majesty Shinou decided to send your spirit to a different world. Thus, your spirit, landed on the world called Earth. There, your current parents created your body and raised you. But there has been an emergency which required summoning you here"
"Okay…I think I'm getting a grasp of all of this, but am I the one you're really searching for?" she asked "I don't have anything special about me, and my intelligence is just average…"
Gunter leaned in closer which made Yuuri move back slightly blushing "On the contrary, I knew it was you when I first laid eyes on you. Your brilliant black hair and eyes, and above all your pitch-black garments, and lastly, your ability to understand our language. Though it is regrettable what Adelbert did to you. Gracious as he was, he called forth your ability from your spirit"
"Oh…so in any case, do I have to complete some sort of mission here to get back right?" she asked "I'll do it then, what do I have to do? Do I have to defeat a dragon or something?"
"Dragons are endangered your Majesty, they are now protected" he replied.
"Ah, then what do I have to defeat?"
"Humans"
"Humans? Who? Where?"
"You need to wipe out all of the humans that oppose our kingdom. For that purpose, you will need the royal power of the Maou"
"Wait, what did you say? Wipe out the humans? Then what do you call me?"
"You are the shining star of the Mazoku, your Majesty the 27th Maou, congratulations" he said bowing down "From this day on, you are the Maou!"
"Ma-ma-maou…?" she said with a very shocked expression "Ma…ou…" with that, she suddenly fainted.
"Huh? Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Yuuri stood outside the small cottage that night. She looked around and thought What in the world is going on? Why am I the Maou of these people? I don't even know a thing about this world, or the people and customs. Am I actually capable to doing this? This came on to fast for her, when she woke up this morning, she was Shibuya Yuuri, a normal high school girl. Then later that afternoon, she became the Maou of a completely different world. Gunter pretty much convinced her that this place was not Earth. This was a place she would have to live in for the time being. It was weird, but she had no choice. It's not like she could just run away since she doesn't know anything about this world.
"Your Majesty" Conrad called from behind.
"Ah!" she looked behind her and saw Conrad emerge form the cottage "Oh its you Conrad, you startled me…please stop calling me 'Majesty' by the way, it's really weird"
"Please come inside, if you catch a cold Gunter might lecture me again" he said.
"Uhm, yeah…" she blushed as she looked at him Man, he's really good-looking…She looked up to the sky and said out loud "'Maou' huh? I wonder how I got myself into this?"
"But this is your world" said Conrad "Welcome back, your Majesty" he said looking up to the same sky as Yuuri.
The group started their way to the kingdom. Yuuri sat behind Conrad during the ride. She was getting pretty used to the horse-thing now. She looked around her; this place was definitely not where she came from. She really wanted to know how she really got here in the first place. But she didn't want to ask them anymore further questions since it seemed that they pretty much answered everything she was asking. She was a bit curious as to what kind of place the castle might be, she was pretty much expecting some sort of medieval type of castle.
"Hey, you guys are Mazoku right?" asked Yuuri "Can't you just use your magic to get there?"
"Magic? Oh, you mean Majutsu" said Gunter "Unfortunately Majutsu isn't that convenient. It only comes in handy during battle"
"Oh…" she said.
"I on the other hand, don't posses any Maryouku" said Conrad "So you just have to bear it with you bum"
"Oh right…haha…" said Yuuri. She looked up in the air and saw one of the flying skeletons again and called out to them "Hey, Kohi! I don't know if you're the same one, but thanks for carrying me back there!"
"Your Majesty!" a small purple-haired girl came running towards them, carrying a bowl of water in her hands.
"Perfect timing! I was getting thirsty!" said Yuuri "Thanks a lot…"
"Wait! Your Majesty!" said Gunter.
Before Yuuri could the bowl, Conrad took it and took a sip from it.
"Here you go Your Majesty" Conrad gave it to her then she took it and drank it.
"Uwahh…that was good" she said as she looked at the small girl and gave it back to her "It was great, thanks a lot"
Then the small girl left.
"Your Majesty, please don't consume anything we don't give you personally" said Gunter "You never know what may be in there"
"Eh? But she went through all the trouble to bringing it here" she said "She's only a little girl, what could she be capable of?"
"It didn't taste irregular, so I'm sure it was fine" said Conrad.
"Conrad, you are too lax in your service" said Gunter.
"If we, the Royal Knights, don't assist him then who will?" he replied "Of course, I would sacrifice my life to help his Majesty"
"Hehe…you don't need to sacrifice your life for me" she blushed slightly at what he said.
Yuuri was told to go on her own horse by Gunter since he told her she needed to show her excellence to the people. She made her first step into the kingdom and saw a beautiful medieval land, as she expected. She was greeted with confetti and cheers from the people of the land. This was pretty awkward as she felt like a pop idol or something.
"Welcome back your Majesty" said Gunter "You, his Majesty Shinou, and the people who make up this nation shall continue in long-lasting prosperity. You must not forget that everything that makes this world began with us, the Mazoku. Bear with you the courage, wisdom, and strength of those who defeated the Sou warriors and continue our prosperity forever!"
"Is that the national anthem?"
"Behold our nation and our capital!"
"It's a bit long…"
"Translated the anthem's title means the 'Shin Makoku'
((Author's Notes: Shin Makoku-Demon Nation))
As she entered, she was given flowers by the girls around her. She thanked them gratefully; Man, now I really feel like a pop idol…A man near one of the gates caught her eye, she asked who it was.
"Who's that over there?" she asked.
"Sven Stoffel von Sptiz" Conrad replied "The former Maou's older brother. He took control of the nation while you were gone. The former Maou, she resigned and caused quite a panic. He intends to endear himself to the next Maou"
"I won't let him do as he pleases anymore" said Gunter "I'm sure Gwendal and Wolfram feel the same way"
"I hope so" said Conrad.
I wonder…did something happen while I wasn't here? She noticed a bee fluttering around her, she didn't take notice too much, but that was her mistake. It stung the horse she was riding on and it made a rampage through the kingdom.
"Pull on the reigns!" Conrad yelled.
"Uwaaaahhh!!!" she screamed "Make it stop!"
"Your Majesty!" Gunter and Conrad simultaneously yelled. When it had stopped, she fell on the ground, hurting her backside once more.
"Calm down. It's alright now" a tall and dark man stood by the horse, calming it down. She looked at him for a while and thought that he seemed really cold.
"Who are you?" she asked him.
"Your Majesty!" Gunter yelled "Are you alright?"
"Majesty?" he said "This thing?"
"I'm not a thing!" said Yuuri. He looked at her with a cold glare. "Well, yeah…I'm kinda…oh, thanks for stopping the horse…"
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" asked Conrad.
"That's the new Maou?" asked a voice that came from a top the stairs. The young guy slowly descended from the steps and looked at Yuuri with the same glare as the man who helped with the horse.
Whoa…he's definitely prettier than any girl I've met…thought Yuuri.
END OF ACT ONE.
Arigatou gozaimasu!
Thank you very much for reading this! I know this chapter is obviously copied off the original one with like two or three tweaks to it, but I swear the following will definitely have some more originality to them. Of course I'd still be basing, but I have a very good idea for the engagement…hehehe…
Oh yeah, for those unfamiliar with the Japanese sayings:
Mazoku: The people who live in Shin Makoku.
Maryouku: The power the Mazoku posses.
Majutsu: The spells they use.
His Majesty Shinou: the original and first king of Shin Makoku.
Maou: Demon King, well more like Demon Queen in this story.
Soukoku: the highest nobility of the demon kingdom, those with black hair and eyes.
Note: If you guys are gonna flame me for making up a Mary Sue or whatever, please don't bother. I can predict what you flamers are gonna say anyway. But if you really want to flame, go ahead. Doesn't bother me.
