Zo- Hello minions!! Welcome to mine and Monkey's first Kyou Kara Maou fic!
Monkey- Minions? Wtf? Ahem... well anyway, this was a freaky idea that came to Zo when she was reading her Chemistry text book. How that happened I really have no idea, but I put it into an actual story that makes sense.
Zo- Phsaw! You and your logic... who needs it?
Monkey- ... And for the disclaimer... Zo and I don't own Kyou Kara Maou or any of its characters. We just use them for Zo's sick fantasies.
Zo- My sick fantasies!?! They're yours too!!
Monkey- Heh.
Chemistry
Prologue
"WHAT?" Yuuri yelled at his unsuspecting father. His dad had told him that he had had bad news for Yuuri, but this? This was the worst thing in the world! "G-Goldie... is... dead?" He asked, his lower lip trembling.
Goldie, his one and only best friend in this whole entire world... Well next to Murata, but thats besides the point, was now floating belly up in his cleanly fish bowl. And to make things worse, his parents were acting as if it was nothing!
"Oh and that reminds me!" his father said casually.
"More bad news?" Yuuri asked grabbing the fish bowl and clutching it to his chest. "I don't think anything can be worse than this." he mumbled.
"You're being transferred to Germany next week." Winner grinned and gave Yuuri a thumbs up while the shock raced across his face and was left to gape at his father, making a face not unlike Goldie had when he was still alive.
"G-G-G-G-G..." Yuuri tried to speak, but it seemed it wasn't really working out for him at the moment.
"Yes Germany, Yu-chan." Shori finished for Yuuri as he rounded the corner to the hallway that Yuuri and their father were standing in, frowning angrily.
"Y-you knew too?" he managed to ask his brother.
"I just found out this morning, but I think that its been planned for much longer than that." Shori said. "Is all I want to know is why? Why send Yu-chan so far away?" Shori really looked angry at the moment. Yuuri could picture all mothers weary for their babies, trying their best to avoid the angry man that looked as if he would steal their beloveds candy.
"Because my Yu-chan seemed soooo sad lately! Mama thought that it would be good if Yu-chan had a change of scenery!" his mother exclaimed appearing out of what seemed like nowhere, like she always seemed to do.
"B-but all the way to Germany?! If you thought all I needed was a change of scenery you could've just brought me to the zoo or something!" Yuuri complained, Shori nodded.
"But Yu-chan! You seemed REALLY sad!" his mother whined.
"So we thought the farther away he went, the better his chances of cheering up!" Winner explained. Shori and Yuuri sighed.
"But... I don't even know German!"
"Now you're just making excuses Yu-chan!" his mother scolded. "We are sending you to a new elite school that will teach my Yu-chan to speak German!" she said with a pout.
"Um, Mama, I'm not really sure that's how it works." Shori said, slightly annoyed.
"Of course it is!" Jennifer laughed. "You worry too much Sho-chan!" Shori felt his eye twitch in agitation, and he stormed into his room to type angry, brother complex related letters.
"Come on Winner! Let's go pack Yu-chan's room!" Jennifer said happily, pulling her husband along.
"But its not until next week!" Yuuri and his father said in unison.
"You can never be too prepared! If we pack now, we wont have to worry about forgetting something later! And see look! I even have my first letter written to Yu-chan!" she said flashing a dainty pink envelope addressed to him in his mothers frilly handwriting.
"You'd think they want me out of here by the way they act..." Yuuri mumbled as his parents left. He sighed and headed to the couch to take a nap since he no longer had a room. "This is really going to suck..." he said to himself as he sat down. It was true that he had been a bit depressed lately, but it didn't mean that he needed to go to Germany. He was just alone right now. He didn't have baseball anymore because he gave it up, Murata was away doing things that only Murata would do, and Shori... well he was just Shori. So that was why he had went out and got himself a goldfish. For company.
He sighed and fell back onto the couch. Now he was going to be even more alone, in some creepy country, where it was supposed to be cold, and he didn't know the language because apparently he was just going to magically learn German.
Yuuri cursed his luck and slowly went to sleep.
o-the day before the flight-o
"You can stop now mother." Yuuri said scrunching up his face as his mother licked a handkerchief and tried to clean his face.
"Now, now Yu-chan! How many times must I tell you to call me Mama! Plus I only want your picture to be perfect and we can't have that if you have dirt on your face!" she said wagging a finger and then returning to her duty as a mother and began to clean Yuuri's face.
"Its just my passport picture..." he said with a sigh.
"Well I don't want any strangers to see a picture that isn't perfect! First impressions are everything Yu-chan!" now she had one hand on her hip and the other was messing with his hair.
"Okay it's my turn now... It'll be fine don't worry!" Yuuri said swatting his mothers hand away playfully.
Jennifer watched him walk into the booth. "He's starting to cheer up already!" she chirped, a smile making its way to her face.
When Yuuri was finished he came back to Jennifer and handed her his passport booklet, opening it slowly so she could see his picture.
"OH YU-CHAN!" she shouted happily. "You look so handsome! I'm so proud!" she said quieter, yet still loud enough to draw attention. "I always knew you'd grow up to be cute! Too bad you aren't a girl, but now I have proof at how handsome my sweet Yu-chan is!"
Yuuri found himself smiling politely through his mothers entire ramble.
"Well we should head home now! Papa sent all your stuff already, so now all we have to do is send you." Jennifer said, poking Yuuri lightly on the nose when she said 'you'.
Yuuri smiled and lead the way to the taxi.
Later that night his family had a small going away party for Yuuri. Some of his friends from school came and for some reason it made him feel worse than it should have. He wasn't as mad as he was earlier about going to Germany, now if anything, he was scared. What if he didn't make any friends? What if he was stuck there not knowing how to communicate? What if everyone here forgot about him? What if? What if?!
He sighed. His life was over now, so what did it matter?
"Yu-chan? What's with the long face? Do you need a hug from Mama?" Jennifer said through the small crowd of people.
"Ah-ah no! I was just thinking about how much I'm going to miss everyone here!" he said waving his hands about. Everyone in the room awwwed on Jennifer's command. Yuuri laughed some, its not like it was a lie. He really was going to miss everyone. You just never know how many friends you have until your parents decide to ship you to Germany.
After everyone left and Yuuri had said all of his goodbyes, he finally was able to go to sleep. Even if it was on the couch, he was comfortable and content.
'Maybe Germany won't be so bad.' he thought optimistically. 'At the very least, I'll have a bed.'
o-the next mornin'-o
Yuuri woke up only to find he was sitting in the middle of the airport with a ticket, some yen and travelers checks, and a note pinned to his shirt.
"What the...?" he said as he unpinned his supplies and opened the note. It was in his mothers handwriting.
Dear Yu-chan,
I COULDN'T JUST SAY GOOD-BYE! So I had Papa drop you off at the airport and told him that he shouldn't wake you up. You need your sleep, you're a growing boy! I would feel horrible if your growth was stunted because you failed to get proper amounts of sleep! Oh and I had Papa give you yen and travelers checks. You never know what you might have to pay with! And you have your ticket too don't you? Remember your flight is at 5:45am!! And if you miss it, you'll just have to get on another plane!
Love,
Mama
Yuuri rolled his eyes. Just get on a different plane? It doesn't work like that. Yuuri took a quick glance at the airport clock to see what time it was.
5:39
"AGH! I'M GOING TO BE LATE!" He yelled and ran for his gate number. He made it just in time and took his seat. He was extremely nervous and he could feel the man next to him give him suspicious glances.
'He's not checking me out. He's not checking me out.' Yuuri thought over and over. Not sure whether he should blush or be disgusted.
'This is going to be a long flight.' Yuuri thought, as he ignored Murata's rules of ask the hot stewardess for one thing at a time so that she'll come more often, and asked for a drink and a pillow. Before he realized it, the plane was looming over Germany.
o—o
Zo- Whew that took awhile!
Monkey- Zo... It's only the prologue... the chapters are longer than this.
Zo- O.o
Monkey- (sigh) Well yeah, next chapter has Yuuri in Germany. He meets a very important someone!
Zo- Yeah! Oh and if y'all were wondering, the title DOES relate to the story. We didn't call it that just because I was reading my chemistry book and saw the phrase 'wolfram is the original German name for tongstun' or some kinda element like that.
Monkey- At first that's why you called it that. You sure are lucky I'm here.
Zo- (blushes) Liar... Ahem, well see you next chapter.
Monkey- And review.
Zo- Oh yeah! Those too please!
