It was a nice warm day in Japan; Yuri had just gotten out of school and was riding his bike home. On the way he stopped by the park and started gazing at it. 'This is where it all began' he thought to himself. He was starting to think about the past when he heard someone call his name. It was his good friend Murata. He waved back and waited until Murata walked closer to him.
"Are you going there?" he asked cheerfully.
Yuri nodded, "Yeah, come on, let's go!"
They soon arrived at Yuri's house, which looked like any ordinary Japanese home. "I'm home" announced Yuri as he opened the door, meeting a not-so-unsuspected bear hug from his energetic mother.
"Gaaah! Mom!" Yuri yelped as he almost fell.
"Yuu-chan! You're home!" His mother yelled cheerfully. "And call me 'Mama' not 'Mom'!"
"Hello, Mama-san!" Murata peeked his head from behind Yuri.
"Oh, Ken-chan! I didn't see you there! Come on inside!" His mother smiled and moved out of the way of the door so the two can come inside.
"Mom, is the bath ready?" Yuri asked as his mother closed the door behind them.
"Yes, it's ready. But I made some curry and I want you all to eat before you go!"
"Alright, I love your curry!" exclaimed Murata.
"Thank you! With curry we can unite the world in peace." His mother smiled and went off into the kitchen.
They all sat at the table, eating their curry when they heard footsteps coming down the stairs. They all turned to see who it was and saw a very depressed looking Shori. He walked quietly from the stairs to the table with his shoulders slumped and his head facing down. His mother put a plate of curry in front of him and he slowly ate it.
"Someone must have stayed up all night playing that new dating Sims game and lost" snickered Murata.
"Shut up, friend of my brother. Why are you here anyways?" He quickly raised his head and looked at Yuri with an upset look on his face. "Are you going there?"
"That's right, brother of my friend." Murata answered while taking another bite of his curry.
"He's going as well! I'm coming with you!" exclaimed Shori.
"What? Why?" Yuri was getting a bit nervous. He still wasn't confident enough to take more than one person with him and he didn't want anything to go wrong.
"Because I'm your brother. I have to protect you." Shori said crossing his arms.
"How many times do I have to tell you? I can take care of myself!" cried Yuri.
"Aww Yuu-chan~! Take me with you! I want to see everyone too!" his mother butted in.
Yuri laughed nervously, "Well you see-," he then grabbed Murata by the arm and yelled " Murata! Run!" They both started running out of the room and towards the bathroom.
"Ah! Yuri! Get back here! Yuu-chan~!" Shori yelled, running after them just in time to grab hold of one of their arms as they jumped into the bathtub. It was too late before they got sucked into the deep, mysterious whirlpool taking them to the land of Shin Makoku.
Author's Note: This is my very first fanfiction, and any reviews would be highly appreciative. I'm not sure if I will be able to continue this story or not but I will try my very best! This story is supposed to be about Yuri and Wolfram but he'll show up in the next chapter don't worry! I know this chapter sounds a lot like what happens in the anime but there are a few differences! And I know that this chapter is very short but don't worry, it'll get better (and hopefully longer) in the next chapter!
