Kyo Kara Maoh: Ancient Link

Chapter 1 : Someone who is waiting… Part 1

A month has passed. After the battle with an evil threat called Soushu ended, Shinou, the first king that rule Shin Makoku, rests at Shinou Temple, while Yuuri, the 24th king rules the Shin Makoku. They live peacefully. Suddenly, something awakes from Shinou's memory. Shinou sits alone on the box that sealed Souchu's power before it is empty after that battle. Ulrike, the leader of the temple maidens, looks at him and senses something is wrong with Shinou. She doesn't dare to ask him and she asks the temple maidens to call Murata, the Great Sage.

Murata goes to the temple and meets with Ulrike.

"What is it that you want to tell me?"

"His Majesty Shinou looks worried. I'm not sure why he looks like that, but sometimes he looks at the sky and muttered alone."

"Really?"

"Yes. Can you ask him why?"

"Okay."

Murata walks inside the Shinou Temple and sits beside Shinou on the box beside the box that Shinou sits on. He looks at Shinou's face but he doesn't wants to disturb him. Shinou feels someone sits beside him and he looks beside him. Murata smiles at him.

"Oh, it is you. Why you come here? Is there anything that you need to ask me?"

"That should be my line. What is bothering you? You look like think of something important."

"Hahaha… Think something important? There is nothing I can think."

"Shinou!"

"Really, there is nothing. It is just as if some memories of the past appear in my mind. That's all."

"Memories of the past? What is that?"

"I don't know."

At the Blood Pledge Castle, Yuuri is looking for Murata. He goes inside the discussion room. Conrad, Wolfram and Gunter look at him as he sits on his chair. Then, he asks Gunter about Murata.

"Gunter, where is Murata?"

"His Highness goes meet His Majesty Shinou. Why?"

Yuuri shakes his head.

"Nothing. A few days ago, I heard someone is screaming."

"Screaming?"

Suddenly, someone opens the door. Both of them look at the door and Gwendel walks inside the room. He sits on one of the chairs inside that room.

"Gwendel, you are back."

"Continue what you are saying."

"Okay. I heard someone is screaming. He sounds like Shinou's voice. I thought Murata knows about that."

Gwendel and Gunter looks interested and they keep asking Yuuri about it.

"What did he said?"

"Urm… It is like 'Onii-sama and Onee-sama'. Something likes that."

Gunter touches his chin and looks down. Then, he looks at Yuuri's back.

"Onii-sama and Onee-sama? But, as we know, His Majesty Shinou doesn't have any siblings."

Yuuri sighs and continues saying.

"That's why I want to ask Murata if he knows something. How about you, Gwendel, Wolfram, Conrad? Do you hear anything from Cheri-sama?"

Yuuri asks the other three. Wolfram shakes his head. Conrad answers the question.

"No. I think our mother doesn't know about it."

"So, who is Shinou calling for?"

No one answers Yuuri's question about who is Shinou calling for. At night, when Yuuri and the others are sleeping, a voice sounds far but near to Yuuri's ear. Yuuri feels like he is dreaming as he hears Shinou is yelling near his ear.

'Onii-sama! Onee-sama! Where are you going?'

'I'm sorry, Shinou. We need to go.'

'Wait! Onii-sama, Onee-sama, wait! Wait!'

'I'm sorry.'

'Onii-sama! Onee-sama!'

Yuuri awakes and yells as he closes his eyes. Wolfram awakes and looks at Yuuri.

"Shut up! Don't shout at my ear!"

"Yuuri! What are you talking about?"

Yuuri lets go his ear and looks at the Wolfram and the window. Sun is showing himself and indicates that it's already morning.

"Oh… Morning already?"

"Why are you shouting?"

"Someone screams at my ear again."

Conrad, Gwendel, Gunter and Murata run and Conrad opens Yuuri's room door.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

"Yeah. Good morning, Conrad, Gwendel, Gunter, Murata."

"Are you alright?"

"Yes."

"Shibuya, who is screaming?"

"Murata?"

"Who is screaming?"

"Shinou, I think."

Murata sighs.

"I thought so. I know something happen with him. He doesn't tell me anything."

Yuuri looks at Murata.

"What's wrong with Shinou?"

"He looks like he is thinking of something because he said he remembers something that important to him from the past."

Yuuri asks Murata that something that no one knows except Shinou himself.

"You mean, his brother and sister?"

"Brother and sister?"

"I heard he said 'Onii-sama and Onee-sama'. Does he have any brother and sister?"

Murata shakes his head.

"I don't think so. Better you ask yourself."

"Yeah… yeah…"

All of them go to Shinou Temple to ask Shinou about the scream. Yuuri opens the door at the temple's main hall.

"Shinou, are you here?"

Ulrike bows to Yuuri.

"Your Majesty Yuuri."

Shinou stands up from his sits and walks toward Yuuri.

"Yuuri, why are you come here?"

"What are you thinking alone there?"

"Nothing. Just try to recall back my memories from the past. Someone is calling me."

"About your brother and sister?"

Shinou shocks.

"My brother and sister?! What are you talking about?"

"A few days ago, including last night, I heard your voice call for your brother and sister. Did you have any family?"

"No. I don't have…"

Suddenly, a memory flashes inside his mind. He hears a girl calls up his name.

'Shin…! Shin…!'

Shinou touches his head and his body is shaking.

"Who is that?!"

"What's wrong, Shinou?"

"I heard the voice. Someone is calling me."

Shinou sees a scene where a girl and a boy lie down on the floor and cover with blood. The girl pushes him away but he sits there. His hand covers with blood from that girl body.

'Shin… Run! Run! Run!'

Shinou screams.

"No!"

Yuuri touches Shinou's shoulder.

"Shinou?"

Shinou keeps screaming as he sees the scene that looks so real in front of him.

"No. Onii-sama… Onee-sama! Onii-sama! Onee-sama! Blood… blood…"

Yuuri shakes Shinou's body but Shinou does not budge with his shaking. Murata also tries to shake Shinou's body.

"Shinou! Hey, Shinou! Are you hear me?"

"Hey, what's wrong? Shinou, tell us."

Shinou looks his hand. He thinks that his hand is covered with blood from that girl body.

"Blood… blood… It is at my hand… Blood…"

Yuuri tells him with his high voice.

"There is no blood. Are you having hallucination?"

Shinou does not listen to what Yuuri is saying.

"Blood is flowing… There are 2 bodies… Why the blood is flowing…?"

'Shin… You… Must… Live… Please…'

Shinou keeps screaming.

Who is the person calling for Shinou? Why Shinou fears off the blood on his hand? Why Shibuya Yuuri does hears Shinou screams every night? What is happening?

Next time on part 2, will they know everything?
