Warning: This story does contain Yaoi (male/male) and bad language. So, Beware. Also, as mentioned above, this is a ConrartxYuri story. Please do not comment saying that you hate this paring. If you hate this paring then please don't read. Thank You.

Disclaimer I: I don't own anything other than the storyline/plot and anything/anyone else invented by me that exists in this story but not in the original story of Kyou Kara Maou. Everything/everyone else is owned by Tomo Takabayashi. Though I, so much, want to own Conrad. Alas! My bad luck.

Disclaimer II: Facts and past storyline is taken directly from Kyou Kara Maou novels, anime and manga. Please don't sue me for that. If I miss something then please forgive me and overlook that. This is a fan fiction after all, that should explain everything regarding what I own and what not.

Disclaimer III: Everything in this story is fiction. Please don't get any ideas from this story to try at home...or at least not until you reach the age of adulthood. I'll not be responsible for any harm should it come to you in that case. Yuri and Conrad and everybody else are of the same age as in anime in this story. In spite of how I portray them and what happens to them in this story, I do not encourage anything illegal, including, under-age relationships/sex or violence. Please don't try that at home. Once again, this is just a fiction...fanfiction.


Author's Notes:

[1.] Hi everybody! As you must have noted, I have written the pairing in two styles above. This is just to clarify that I've assumed, both, Conrad and Yuri to be equal as partners in their relationship, and will be treated as such. Usually, from what I've read so far, I found that it is assumed that the person whose name's written first, for example Conrad in ConYuu, or the taller, muscular partner in the couple acts as the husband or seme in their relationship. However, in my stories (this or any other in future), I'll treat them both as equals i.e., nobody's seme and nobody's uke; or rather both are seme and both are uke. I hope none of you readers will have any problem with that. I just figured that both the characters, being male, might be seme/uke in nature and thus wouldn't want to be assigned a particular title. And I just wanted to explore that particular side since no story I found so far has shed any light on this aspect. So, please don't send comments saying that Conrart should have been strictly seme or Yuri uke, or vice-versa because that's not going to happen. I hate stereotypes and so there won't be any in any of my stories. If you hate it, please don't proceed.

[2.] Last night, you can say that I got a bit too kinky or crazy and the result was this story. Although I had wanted it to be a single chapter, but during character and plot development, it got out of control and turned out to be a 39 page, 17,428 worded story. So, I had no choice but to break it into chapters, although, there might be only four. What can I do? I just don't like where the main couple starts jumping each other's bone right from the first line. Sigh! Also, let me warn you this story may use very very very perverted scenarios, characters and very very very bad language, depending on how you define 'perverted' and 'bad'. So, proceed with caution. You've been warned. Also, the characters might be out of character, in which case, you dear readers are requested to point them out to me. I'll try to keep your suggestions in mind while writing the next story.

[3.] This is the very first smut story that I am writing and publishing and I don't have any editor. Needless to say, there may be a lot of errors in it. The plot may be boring or might be too slow or too fast, too long or too short (although I doubt in case of short), dialogues may not be flowing smoothly, sex might be awkward or maybe you want to read something else. Kindly point them all out to me, so that I could improve my future stories and keep entertaining you.

[4.] Please note, the story is complete and in my hands as I post this. But I required at least 2 positive reviews per chapter posted, for you to get the next chapter. Now, it's in your hands. How fast do you want an update, hmmm...? You can even get the entire story tonight.

Am I evil or am I evil? ;-D ;-*

Now that all is cleared, I know you're bored of my talks and want to proceed but this wait is worth it, I promise you. Trust me...;-* /wink/

Now, without much delay and cutting off my rambling, I present my first ever smut story - The days of Rejuvenation. Kindly read and review.

Enjoy!


THE DAYS OF REJUVENATION

PROLOGUE

It was a beautiful winter morning in Shin-Makoku. Snow graced every single inch of the exposed surface, making the entire beautiful scenery of the demon land look even more divine. The weather was cold but the streets and markets of the land were crowded with people, engaged in various chores. Nobody actually felt the pinch of the cold despite the snow and warm talks ensued everywhere. In general, the country was serenely peaceful and its citizens happy…all thanks to the young monarch who ascended the throne no more than a few years back.

The monarch in question, on the other hand, was quite unaware of the beautiful serene painting that the nature had painted in his lands for the simple reason that he was visiting his family on earth at the moment. His absence, though quite frequent, always invited gloom especially in the castle where he lived and hearts of his loved ones as well, but everyone understood and respected his need to be with his own family on earth once in a while and hence didn't mind it at all, no matter how much they all wanted to always be near him. Besides, everyone knew that he'd eventually return.

It was with this belief that the entire castle's residents continued on with their chores happily so as to be able to greet the Maoh with everything in perfect condition and ready when he returned. And everyone wanted him to return soon…after all that time was approaching. The prospect was made even more exciting with the fact that Yuri was finally free of his engagement which was mutually called off a few months back. The mere thought brought severe blushes and giggle on the face of some of the maids, namely Sangria, Lasagna, Doria and Eve…popularly dubbed as RGBP (Red, Green, Blue and Pink) maids, who had been thinking nothing else for the past few weeks, even though they might not be able to take part in it themselves being so busy with the preparations. But let's just say they were happy for others. Besides, who knows maybe even they might get lucky this time…SQUEEEEL!

-o.0.o-

Meanwhile in Gwendal's office, the three princely brothers were assembled along with Gunter and Yozak, doing different chores. Or rather, Gwendal was scribbling on a random document and Gunter was reading a book. Others seemed to be killing time with Conrart leaning on a random wall, Wolfram staring out the huge window and Yozak sitting on the long table, looking utterly bored and twirling a random book on this fingertip.

Time seemed to pass endlessly without a single word from any one present in the room. Suddenly, after deciding that he can't bear the silence anymore, Yozak, finally, opened his mouth.

"I can't believe how boring it gets now-a-days. I have absolutely nothing to do." He sighed dramatically.

"Shouldn't you be happier that it's so peaceful now", Conrart asked.

"Don't get me wrong. I love the fact that it's peaceful but honestly don't you guys get bored doing absolutely nothing?" Yozak complained.

"It's you who isn't doing anything. And if it's not too much trouble, some people are trying to work here", Gwendal grumbled. "I can't believe it's always me who have to bear the burden of that boy's absence the most" He mumbled under his breath. Conrart chuckled. However, this proclamation from Gwendal triggered another round of jealous screaming and blaming from his youngest brother. And all his hope of being able to get some work done went down the drain.

"I can't believe that stupid wimp took off without telling me once again. I had wanted to go too and meet Jennifer-san. That GOOD-FOR-NOTHING CHEATER WIMP!" Wolfram screamed.

"For the sake of Shinou…." Gwendal growled. "And Wolfram you aren't even engaged to his majesty now. He's not bound to tell you anything. So shut up and let me do my work."

Wolfram glared at Gwendal with a puckered face and crossed arms for a good five minutes, then without saying anything or even moving from his place, simply dropped down on his chair and crossed his legs. The scene was distinctly comical. Everyone including Yozak, despite his boredom, laughed.

Conrart, on the other hand, couldn't help but chuckle hard under his breath at his big brother's discomfort and the manner this talk was increasing the number of ever present wrinkles on his forehead. He still remember the terrified expression on his face when the six of them, including Anissinna and his mother barged into the room all of a sudden. Thank goodness for Gwendal, the two 'Devils wearing Prada' (or scientist's gadgets in Anissinna's case) didn't stay too long and quickly after informing them, went off to some other country in order to spend the upcoming festival, even taking Greta with them.

For some reason, Anissinna never really like the festival and avoided it every time by running off to other countries under the guise of women empowerment promotion quest. As for Conrart's mother, it brought some sad memories. As a result, the castle was totally devoid of women, except the maids, soldiers and various aids. But even they will be given the time off starting from next week for the celebrations…..in shifts, of course.

That reminded him, Yuri was of age this year. Conrart wondered if he'll be back by the time of the festival. This would be the first time the festival is being held after Yuri arrived in that world. Yuri like festivals. The mere thought made him blush. Thankfully, no one saw it.

This festival was not like any other common festival which usually included dance, events, shows and merrymaking. No, it was very special and had very strict rules of participation. The participants were required to attain a certain age and maryuko level before they're allowed to participate in this festival. As for half-humans and humans, they can participate too but they must attain a certain age as well and willing. The main event of the festival was organized at a highly secret place and only specific people, like royalties, high ranked soldiers and other important personnel, were allowed.

This year Yuri was attaining the right age and he had immense maryuko already, not to mention he was the most important person in all of demon kingdom. Conrart couldn't help but look forward to this year's event. He was especially excited to see if Yuri will, perhaps, participate with him. He, even, had various plans for them both, and the best part was that no one other than him knew was Yuri was coming of age this year so no one could steal him. He'd have Yuri, his most-favourite person and his secret love, all to himself.

However, his Yuri being Yuri had went back to Earth, unknowingly pouring water and destroying all of Conrart's dream castles. Now, without Yuri nearby and him able to think clearly, Conrart wondered whether this was the right thing to happen. He can't even start to think how he'd be able to explain the festival to his naïve Yuri, much less take part in it with him. Thankfully, others didn't know about his thoughts or they would hanged him by his balls and beat him senseless. Even if they didn't do that, he had no plans of sharing Yuri with them. The blush surfaced once again. No one knew and no one must know, he thought. Well…that is…except Yozak, who had, very foxily, managed to get the information out of him by getting him drunk a few days ago.

So lost in his thoughts that Conrart didn't notice Yozak's gaze on him. And based on the Conrart's very red face, Yozak could guess very well what was going through his captain's mind, which gave him an excellent way to tackle his boredom.

Smirking evilly, Yozak spoke," It's a good thing that the days of rejuvenation are approaching soon. It'll be so exciting with no room for boredom. Right Captain?"

Conrart tensed at the remark but recovered quickly and didn't reply. However, the statement rose everyone's interest. And most blushed.

"Talking of which, I wonder if Yuri will be back in time." Wolfram muttered. Gunter was however appalled.

"Whaaaat? How could you say such things? Don't you know his majesty must stay pure for as long as he can? I, the most loyal servant of the Maoh – Gunter, will see to it that his majesty shall be pure as the breath of fresh air and shining as the sun, until the right time arise and he's of age. I look forward to that day" And with this Gunter went into a rambling dramatic queen mode, which in turn fueled Wolfram who kept screaming at him to stay away from Yuri and random other profanities.

Gwendal seemed ready to explode when Yozak remarked," Isn't his majesty going to be of age in the next five days?"

This brought the entire commotion to a staggering halt. "How did you know?" Gwendal asked.

"The captain told me."

Everyone's stares went from an evilly smirking Yozak to a very red-faced and highly tensed Conrart who simply turned and started looking out the window in order to avoid everyone's accusing stares.

Gwendal merely raised an eyebrow in question at Conrart who seemed to shrink with every passing second. While Gunter had gone into a lapse, surrounded by a dark aura, mumbling something about not knowing about the most important event of all times.

"You knew", Wolfram screamed, recovering his normal attitude, after a moment of absolute silence. "And you planned to keep it all to yourself. Didn't you? You TRAITOR! How could you? What were you thinking to doing to him, you pervert? Tell me, I demand as his former Fiancé." He started shaking Conrart like a rag doll.

Yozak seemed to be enjoying everything a bit too much, especially his captain's reaction and discomfort. He also knew why his friend was acting this way. He knew Conrart harbored deep feelings for Yuri and was hoping something good might come out of the coming festival. After all, he was a good and loyal friend who only wanted his friend's happiness.

The festival arrived at a very convenient time. He really loved this festival for his own convenience, which was actually more of a ritual than a festival. The demons needed to replenish their powers once every five years by strengthening their aura or chi which, according to general view, only occurred by the act of selfless taking and giving, which in turn is only involved in the act of making pure love, which translated to Yozak's ears as having lots of sex. Yozak has always doubted the theory but the tradition was ancient and no-one seem to be speaking against it. Besides, why would he have any problem with something that satisfied him so thoroughly? So, he never complained and just enjoyed.

This year, however, he was rejoicing the arrival of festival, not for his own good but for the good of his captain and dear kiddo. He knew that Conrart was hoping for something to happen during this festival. Maybe even practicing how to express his own feelings to the young king. But, unfortunately, he knew his friend a bit too well and that it would be next to impossible for him to actually put the afore-mentioned plans into action. So, who remained to shoulder all the responsibility? Him…that's who.

With that self-musing, the gears in his brain went into an overdrive. Suddenly, Gunter exclaimed out loud, "I can't wait for his majesty to return…Oh my dear dear majesty" and subsequently collapsed into a pool of blood flowing freely from his nose, sending Wolfram into a fit of rage.

Conrart could, finally, take no more and quickly fled from the room.
