Kyo Kara Maoh – Prologue
Boston, Massachusetts; July 19, 1985
You know if someone told me, that other universes exist that were the cartoons and anime that we watched in my old life, I would've called them crazy.
However; my current situation makes me question everything I know about the universe right now.
You're probably wondering what I mean right now, but I'm in the arms of my big brother, Shouri Shibuya and my parents are Shouma and Miko Shibuya, starting to see a pattern right now?
Right now, I'm still a toddler at 2 years old, and were here for the birth of our younger bother Yuri Shibuya. Yep, my brothers are the future demon kings of Earth and the Demon Realm. So… you're probably wondering what am I doing here?
Well that was my question too when I first came here, but I think with time I'll figure it out eventually.
I only pray to God, oh sorry the Great One that I can find my purpose and live up to it.
Present Day, 2000 (AN: Yuri should be 15 by this time by his birthday, I think)
The day is finally here the day Yuri discovers the Demon Realm and his true heritage, I had already asked my mother various questions in my youth about why Dad would always take extremely long "business" trips for so long and the same excuse was always used…
'Your father is a very busy man and works for a very important man, so he's gone for long periods of time, one day you'll understand what I mean, but until then be patient, okay?' Would always be here answer.
Right now, I'm almost at Yuri's school, after I finished my classes at Tokyo U. today I promised to walk with him and talk on the way home since we don't see each other as much anymore.
Suddenly, a voice from behind jerks from my thoughts, "Hey, big bro!" I turn around to see Yuri with his bike. I was tempted to ask why he wasn't at practice. But I suddenly remembered that past event of why he doesn't play anymore so I let it go.
"Are you ready?" I ask him. "Yeah, lets go." He responds. "So, have you reconsidered, what we talked about before?" I asked him as we started to pass by the baseball fields.
Yuri's silent for a while with his head down as he seems to be contemplating about it. "Remember Yuri, its still your decision and I'm not trying to force you into it. You worked hard to get to this school, so I can understand wanting to have a normal school life with no distractions. But maybe, just something to past the time for you?" I replied, after that he looed at me a bit of determination in his eyes and smile on his face.
I knew he made the right choice, we continued to walk as we started to hear some commotion across the way, seeing Ken Murata, a boy who's in Yuri's class was being hassled by some bullies from the same school they're from. We both look in their direction and Ken stares back at us. The thugs notice us and begin walking toward us.
"Hey, look its more high-brows come to look down on us." One of them a guy with dirty blonde hair said as he and his crew approached us.
With our backs to nothing to anything but the fountain behind us, I knew it was an eventuality so as we backed up, I 'tripped' and grabbed the back of Yuri's school uniform and both of us fell into the fountain and we began to drift into what seemed like an endless draining.
Suddenly I woke up and saw that Yuri and I were drenched, looking around in an unknown world, a nearby village was close by. A woman in a pink dress and white apron seemed to be picking up items into a basket.
"Where are we? Let's go ask that lady over there." Yuri questioned seeing the unfamiliar land. Seeing the woman off in the distance he ran suddenly ask her. "Wait, Yuri!" Yuki called to his brother.
The woman turned to my brother and me, then screamed as if she was just attacked. She dropped her basket as well and ran off, yelling in a language we couldn't understand in the slightest. Yuri then look at the contents of the basket to see they were weeds and various other debris.
"What was her malfunction?" Yuri thought out loud. "Maybe, seeing a stranger you've never seen before in your live suddenly running at you could've been the cause" Yuki said in a monotone, yet annoyed voice.
Yuri sweat dropped realizing the mistake he had made. Suddenly, I saw a stone come at us and I pulled my brother back and we ran in the opposite direction of the group of villagers that had gathered.
"Oh, I know this, must be a reenactment at a medieval fair, I guess we got free seats." Yuri said, far off the mark I corrected him; "Yuri, I don't think this is some show and those were real rocks so its fair to say this is no fair."
Behind we heard the neighing of a horse and saw a large man with a rugged body and build on a black stallion looked down on us.
"Uh, excuse me, who are you?" Yuri asked, the man then put his hands on Yuri's temples and then without a word, me and Yuri were on the ground taking a knee with splitting headaches.
"Hey, what was that for?" Yuri bellowed at the man, but he ignored him. "There now you two should be able to understand me." He answered.
"My name is Adalbert von Grantz. Right now, I might be the only guy who can keep you two alive." Adalbert replied to Yuri's question.
"But Adalbert look at them they're both double black, lets just sell they'll pull double the penny at sale." One of the male villagers said out loud.
'For sale?' Yuri thought in his mind.
"No, perhaps we may be able to bring them to our side." Adalbert tried to reason with the mob.
Suddenly though we hear more hooves stomping and more neighing, we turn again to see three soldiers on horseback, "Yuri, Yuki!" A young strapping soldier on a light brown stallion drew his blade and rode to meet Adalbert face to face.
"Get away from them, and I mean now von Grantz!" The man bellowed as he drew his blade.
"Adalbert von Grantz, why do you approach the national border?" The knight inquired of Adalbert.
"So, Lord Conrat Weller, huh? So, Mr. Brave still hangs out with cowards." Adalbert taunted him as the two clashed and the villagers were dispersed by the two soldiers
Yuri was about to speak but was cut off, "I swear Yuri if you even continue this stupid line of logic…" His younger brother backed down before speaking, when suddenly the two were hoisted away by what seemed to be flying skeletons.
"Woah, what's going on!" Yuri screamed seeing how high off the ground they were. Yuki began to slowly breathe as to not panic, fears of heights were what Yuki and Yuri shared as brothers.
"So, you even got the Flying Bone Tribe involved as well? To swoop in and save your precious king?" Adalbert questioned Conrad.
"The tribe is extremely faithful, they don't allow grudges to cloud their sight." Conrat responds.
The two men continued to argue, while the brothers continued to see the confrontation from above, later Adalbert retreated seeing he was outnumbered.
"Looks like I'm out of time." He said aloud. "Don't worry you two, be brave, I'll come rescue you eventually!" He bellowed to the brothers as he rode off.
After the fight, the skeletons let go of the two brothers and they both were before the young knight who just saved them.
After a short ride to a small cottage house, where a small procession awaited the two boys. Though Yuki knew who it was really for. Yuri rode with Conrat, while Yuki rode by himself.
The door to the cottage opened for a man in silver, sleek hair and a white, long tunic uniform to rush outside and greet them, "Your majesty." He simply said.
"Majesty, is that me?" Yuri replied confused.
Suddenly a flying bone tribe member landed atop the house and watched over them.
"Your majesty, please dismount slowly. You be careful to Yuki." He instructed the brothers.
'Was he there too for my birth in this world?' Yuki though to himself as he dismounted.
"Conrat, who is this young man?" The silver haired man from before inquired.
"Ah, Günter this is his majesty's older brother Yuki Shibuya." Conrat informed him.
"Oh, I apologize my Lord, I hadn't been informed of your arrival as well, please forgive me." Günter then bowed to one knee; Yuki replied, "No need, it's alright."
"You're here at long last, my name is Günter von Christ, and its an honor to finally meet you both. Words cannot explain how long I've waited for this day" The man stayed in his original position.
Yuri then suddenly grabbed his butt, probably a rash from sitting on a horse for the first time. I however had taken equestrian team in high school, so I was used to it.
"I think I know what the problem is this is your first time riding a horse isn't it?" Conrat deduced.
"You mean the heir to the Demon Kingdom has not been given horseback lessons?!" Günter seemed shocked.
"In our world sir, horseback skills and care are more of a hobby to people than a necessary skill." Yuki answered the perplexed man. "Where are my manners, my name is Yuki Shibuya, Yuri's older brother by a year." Yuki reached out to shake the nobleman's hand
"It is an honor, my Lord." Günter returned the gesture. "Now for the sake of my brother, shall we get some explanations out of the way, first though can the two us get out of these wet clothes I prefer not to catch a cold." Yuki explained.
"But of course, well lay them inside by the fire, follow us." Conrat replied as the two older gentlemen walked inside the cottage.
"Oh, while my real name is Conrat Weller, I also go by Conrad, you can pick either which you prefer." Conrat quickly informed the two.
"Oh, alright." Yuri replied softly.
Yuri and Yuki both removed their jackets and took towels to stay warm since there was a slight breeze in the air.
"Now then your majesty, I must inform of why you were brought here, simply put it is time for you to inherit your destiny as Demon King." Günter was straight to the point. Yuri still seemed confused and looked to Conrat for an answer.
"He speaks the truth your majesty, you are the heir to the Demon Kingdom, we preferred to wait until you were older and wiser, but it seems other forces thought to move ahead of time." Conrat replied.
"But, I'm just some high school student, how can I be king of a country besides, I think you may have the wrong guy, my brother's clearly the better candidate if your telling the truth." Yuri responded with some confusion in his voice.
"No sire, this is not a mistake it is you who to inherit the Demon throne and rule this land, when you were born it was intended that you would grow and learn of your heritage over time but like Conrat says it has been pushed up." Günter responded with decisiveness in his voice
"Yuri, I think its safe to say this is no attention and considering we never knew what anyone was saying, I think its safe to say, they're telling the truth." Yuki responded adding his own two sense in.
"Yes, sire your brother speaks the truth now is your time, to become the next Demon King." Günter finished as he looked at Yuri with pure admiration.
"WHAT, Demon king?!" Yuri yelled as he fell backwards from his seat.
After a small rest the party mounted and began to leave for the capital.
"If you guys are part of demon tribe, why don't you use spells to move around?" Yuri inquired of the lilac haired advisor.
"Ha-ha, you must mean like a magical incantation, our powers do not conjure things like that your majesty." Günter answered with a laugh.
"We find our special set of skills more useful in battle than everyday life." He continued.
"I don't have these special skills, so I don't think I can with your rear end troubles." Conrat entered in.
Suddenly a little girl in a yellow dress approached the group with two small bowls of water, "Your Majesty, my lord; for you two." She held the bowls to Yuri and Yuki, but Conrad grabbed both. Sipping from both, Conrad tasted them possibly for poisons, for the sake of the king and his brother.
After tasting, he gave both to Yuki and Yuri and the two downed the bowls and felt refreshed. The little girl left with a smile on her face and laughed as she ran to her small village home in sight.
"Next time, please don't eat or drink anything we have not prepared ourselves for future reference my lords." Günter cautioned, but Yuri responded, "Come on she's just a little girl, what harm could she have done?"
"Günter, I understand your need to watch over the king, but that paranoia will get us nowhere if you constantly worry, calm yourself my friend." Yuki added his two sense and answered the advisor's concern.
"But still…" Günter still looked unconvinced.
After a bit more riding Yuri and Yuki rode to the front, with Yuri on his own horse, as he was king he had to appear strong to the people. Yuki had on a hood to hide his face, as he thought the people should only focus on Yuri, their king.
"Brother, why are wearing that hood, its not like they'll care who you are." Yuri relied to his brother's disguise.
"No Yuri, this is for your sake, don't you remember what I said at the cabin?" Yuki asked having the young king think back only a few hours ago.
Flashback
"Then if that is the case gentleman, would you allow to say one thing to my brother, no… My king?" Yuki asked the two gentlemen as the brothers had been redressed and were preparing to head out to the capital.
"Yuri, I know this is hard on you and that this is all overwhelming to you, but I want you to know I'm here for you." Yuki began to fall to one knee and took his brother's hands in his own. "Know that I will be by your side for know until my dying breath." Yuki began but Yuri tried to stop him.
"No, big bro I don't want you to be my servant. It was probably, just an accident that brought you here" Yuri attempted to dissuade his older brother.
"No I must insist, whether of illness or death on the battlefield, I will serve with all my limited strength and intellect at your disposal, I am your faithful minister and warrior for now and forever. Use me as you see fit from now on. I care little for what people will call me, if advances your benevolent rule" Yuki bowed deeply this time. Yuri looked on in shock at his brother's declaration of fealty.
The two were also bewildered as well, to see such a young man make such a declaration was nearly awe-inspiring, both looked on with proud smiles.
Yuri seemed to relent for the time and then reached out to his brother and lifted him up from his position on the ground.
"alright bro, I'll trust you, from now own you're my minister, but always remember I'm your brother first and foremost." Yuri replied to his brother. Yuki and Yuri then both nodded in agreement and smiled.
Back to the Present
"Oh, yeah now that you mention it we did make that promise." Yuri replied as the main gate to the Demon Kingdom appeared.
As the two brothers looked on both thought of different things
"Am I truly the one who has to be king?" Yuri thought to himself.
"No matter what, I'll make Yuri's dream of peace with all people a reality, no matter what evil I must do." Yuki thought in determination.
