Chapter 1: Captured Sunlight

(Chapter inspired by Come Crashing by Digital Daggers)

As the violent tempest raged around them, Yuri could only scream as his own power began to drown him and he submerged deeper and deeper within the darkest depths of his heart. He couldn't resist Sara's power any more than the ocean could resist the intensity of the moon's pull. And torrents of his own raw power surged through Yuri's veins and his entire body almost seemed to pulsate with it. This terrifying feeling was all Yuri could perceive at first until Sara's seductive voice reached his ears and Yuri's heart clenched with fear; a fear that Yuri had never known before this moment...

Reaching his hand towards Yuri, Sara said with a triumphant smile curled on his lips, "Come along, Yuri. The two of us will create a new world together," taking a step closer he commanded, "Now."

Another scream tore from Yuri's lips just as his older brother, Shori shouted, "Don't go Yuri!" Then he and lunged for Yuri and wrapped him securely in his arms as his younger brother's powers finally began to subside as Yuri's consciousness rapidly faded into darkness.

Furious, Sara ordered his bodyguard sharply, "Berias!"

"Sir!" Berias said curtly in response as he rushed to retrieve Yuri when Shori yelled angrily-

"Stay back!"

However, just as Shori shouted this, the ship suddenly lurched to the side and he was nearly thrown overboard into the roiling waves and Yuri was wrenched from his grasp by Berias. Seeing this, Murata rushed towards Shori to help him regain his balance so they could try to rescue Yuri again, but then he lost his footing too and fell on top of him. And the sheer force of the impact broke the railing and both of them plunged into the water below and out of sight.

Berias strode over to the broken railing with Yuri still hanging limply in his other arm as he searched the water for any sign of the two Double Blacks. But there was nothing, only debris and churning water swelling continuously into the swirling maelstrom that Yuri had summoned before that was still raging on long after he passed out.

Following his gaze, Sara grinned when he realized what they had done and sneered, "Not bad. I should have known that the Great Wiseman would have an ace up his sleeve-" glancing at Yuri though, his smile only widened as Sara said, "-although, it appears that I have still won despite their best efforts."

Stroking Yuri's wet cheek affectionately and pushing back some of the lovely dark black hair away from his face, Sara whispered sensually, "I finally have you, Yuri. Now you belong to me."

After what felt like an eternity of darkness, Yuri blearily woke up to the rhythmic sway of a ship rocking from side to side like a large wooden cradle in the arms of the sea. He was buried underneath a thick layer of silk blankets and felt so smothered by them that he could hardly move. Not to mention Yuri felt extremely dizzy so it made it hard for him to even want to move, at first anyway.

It took Yuri a minute or two to recall what had happened to him, but when he did, Yuri bolted upright. His heart began beating frantically because of the sudden urgency he felt to try and save the rest of Big Shimaron's fleet before it was too late! Not knowing of course that it had already been some time since his powers devastated their forces. So it was already too late...

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Yuri," a familiar voice commented from the chair beside him that made Yuri whole body stiffen with anxiety when he turned and saw Sara there. "You used up quite a lot of your power so you should take it easy and recover your strength before trying anything foolish."

Backing himself against the far wall next to the bed, Yuri began fearfully, "Sara, what have you-! What did you make me DO?!"

"Nothing that you wouldn't have done yourself provided you weren't just so blind to what your Kingdom really needs; a powerful ruler who is willing to sacrifice his ideals for the greater good of his people," Sara replied in a sickeningly sweet tone as he leaned forward and lifted Yuri's chin to make him face him. "All I did was encourage you to do the very thing you have been unwilling to do from the start, which is to eliminate those who threaten the peace you are striving for." Then Sara added in a low voice, "Yuri, I really only have your best interests at heart. Someday you'll realize I did what had to be done."

"Don't touch me!" Yuri shouted, tearing himself away from Sara and hugging himself in a vain attempt to stop his body from trembling. "I trusted you, Sara. I thought we were friends, but you just wanted to use me! And now I...I killed all those people because you made me-"

"Most of them would have died in battle regardless of your actions. That is what it means to be at War Yuri," Sara said coolly, taking Yuri by the shoulder reassuringly although he felt Yuri involuntarily flinch at his touch. "Ranjeel was prepared to fight the Great Demon Kingdom's forces with every fiber of his being and if you had done nothing, many of your people would have died as well as would mine. I didn't lie to you about that. Surely even you must understand that some things cannot be resolved with words, only action. Your other self seems to understand this quite well..."

Yuri recoiled under his touch, but when he could not come up with anything else to say, Yuri averted his gaze and fell silent. That is until he suddenly remembered Shori and Murata Yuri gasped as he looked up at Sara sharply and demanded, "My brother, what did you do to him?! And Murata too! Where are they?"

Laughing softly, Sara pulled back and shrugged his shoulders, "They both fell from my ship during the storm so I can only assume that they were sent home by the power of your almighty Great One. Because when we searched for them in the water we never found their bodies. But you needn't worry about them now. Now that the storm has settled we're heading back to Small Shimaron before Ranjeel realizes that you're aboard my ship. After all, considering all the effort I put in to finally getting my hands on you, it would be such an inconvenience to lose you now."

Yuri blinked, feeling like his still-beating heart was being ripped out of his chest by those cruel yet possessive words. "Get your...hands on me? Sara, what are you saying? Am I really nothing but some kind of weapon to you? Were we...never really friends at all?"

Glancing back at Yuri, Sara just smiled and replied honestly, "Oh, you've always been far more than just a friend to me Yuri. I've wanted to...obtain you ever since I first heard about the new Demon King directly from my former subordinate Maxine. It has always been my intention since then to make you mine someday and your incredible power is just a bonus, what I really wanted was you yourself and that desire only grew the first time I saw you with my own eyes. Now, simply having you here alone with me at long last is more than I ever could have hoped for! I never expected to be blessed with this rare opportunity to capture you so easily while you weren't surrounded by all those bothersome and nosy vassals of yours. So just accept it, Yuri, you and I are going to be together from now on for a VERY long time."

With that, Sara excused himself without another word and walked past Berias with a feral smile on his lips. He absolutely loved this feeling of power he had over Yuri, in more ways than one. Sara even noticed early on that Yuri unknowingly felt a similar kind of attraction towards him that he didn't fully understand yet, and Sara simply could not wait until they could spend more...quality time together at his leisure.

And thankfully, now that Lord Weller had graciously excused himself from the castle, where Sara had Berias lock him up for them to deal with later, he didn't have to worry about Conrad escaping with Yuri and ruining all his new plans for him so it bought them a little more time. Although from what he had seen so far, Yuri was hardly capable of escaping on his own either way which was great news to Sara. At least, until someone eventually came to rescue Yuri once they found out what Sara had done with their beloved ruler.

For now though, Sara was content to wait and gradually seduce Yuri even more. Given enough time Sara was convinced that Yuri would come to realize how much better off he would be joining him to help guide the world's future. Sara would be able to teach him so many things and mold Yuri more to his liking as well so that his retainers would stop coddling their precious Demon King. Of course, Sara didn't want to change Yuri completely since he was still far too interesting of a person to do that to.

That's why Sara told himself he would do his best to refrain from doing so.

In fact, that was half the reason Sara liked Yuri so much. He wasn't like everyone else, especially not his own kind among the Demon Tribe, and it at little to nothing to do with the coloring of his hair and eyes. There was just something about his way of thinking that intrigued Sara to no end and made him want to know Yuri inside and out; to know and understand him far better than his idiot fiancé Wolfram Von Bielefeld who clearly didn't appreciate just how fortunate he was to have a rightful claim to Yuri's heart. Even though from where Sara stood, the feeling clearly wasn't mutual.

Either way, Sara knew that in order for him to keep Yuri for himself, he would have figure out what to do about Yuri's pesky retainers once they returned to the castle. But killing them or harming them in any way would only upset Yuri so Sara had to come up with another plan to keep them away from him. And Yuri himself wasn't about to just sit back and let himself be kidnapped without putting up a fight. Eventually, Yuri would recover from the shock of being betrayed like this and he would inevitably try to escape from Sara in order to avoid his power once again being against big Shimaron or anyone else again. That's just the sort of person Yuri was.

"Sire, aren't you going to-" Berias began when Sara glanced over at him and silenced him with the cold and possessive countenance glittering dangerously behind his warm golden eyes.

"He'll come around eventually," Sara smiled knowingly as he turned away, "I've already successfully proven that I have enough influence over him now to control the Demon King, but having my way with Yuri will be much more enjoyable once we return to the castle where I won't have to worry about Ranjeel breathing down my neck. Ranjeel's survival doesn't fit with my plans and I should have used Yuri's power in a more effective manner. But no matter. I'm sure that Yuri will do a much better job next time after I've...reeducated him. I look forward to that moment, very much."
