Wolfram's Will, Kagome's Wish

Yozak sighed; after the girl had told him she was fine, she conked out...so now he and the other soldiers were...attempting...to help Gisela as she barked orders left and right. Yozak thankfully had given the excuse that he was watching over her so that she didn't try to run off since the Queen was no doubt looking for her. Yes, it was an excuse, no he doesn't care...

It had been at least two hours since she passed out and his back was getting soar from sitting down so long. He stood and stretched, moving to reposition the chair, he stopped when the girl's eyes suddenly fluttered open.

Without so much as a yawn, stretch or pause, she stood and went on with her work. "What a strange girl."

"Yozak! Since you are no longer playing guard dog, why not grab a pail of cold water from the well outside." Gisela said suddenly.

"Ah, right!" He sighed and left the tent, 'How did I suddenly get pulled into this kind of situation...I should have left with Conrad when I had the chance.'

The sudden thought of Conrad caused his mind to wander back to the earlier statement made by the girl. '...she is pregnant.' He frowned, "Saying something like that so suddenly..."

"YOZAK!"

"I'm coming!" He called back to Gisela.

(At Bielefelt Castle)

"Lord Bielefelt!"

"Mi'lord!"

"Little Lord Wolfram!"

The commotion was overkill in his personal opinion. Maids were rushing to his side, guards were running inside to notify his mother of his return and Gunter was crying gleefully at his homecoming. "Lady Julia, please dismount carefully."

"..." She did so with the help of one the guards. It wasn't a moment later when his mother came running out of the castle and up to his horse.

"WOLFIE!!!" He watched as his mother ran up to him and let a gasp of surprise out when she suddenly pulled him from his horse. He held tight to the front of her dress until she finally released him. Tears stained her cheeks as they fell from her emerald green orbs and onto the stone walkway.

"Mother!"

"Oh, I'm sorry Wolfram Darling, I'm just so happy that you are alright. I haven't seen you for so long...and...I'm just happy you came home."

"I never left home," He told her, pushing her off of him gently so that he wouldn't be suffocated by her breasts. "You guy's just don't know how to look properly."

"...where is that girl?"

"Who...Kagome?" He asked, pulling the reigns of the white horse.

"Is that her name?" Cecelia asked.

"It is...to me only...everyone else may call her Lady Kagome."

"Ahh! Wolfie, what makes you so special! I wanna call her Kagome too...!" The demon queen whined.

"No! She belongs to me!"

Everyone froze and turned to the blonde demon prince.

"No...no Wolfie, don't say stuff like that. She isn't your property."

"I don't mean in that context! She told me that she would serve me and me alone. She will do anything I ask, if I so wish it...she is mine..." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm down. "Mine to care for...watch over and protect...mine," He said, catching his mothers' eyes when he opened his.

She smiled, "I see..."

They were silent as a form of understanding passed between mother and son. The sudden patter of hooves drew their attention away from each other as a brown horse made its way towards them carrying none other than Conrad.

"You..." Wolfram sneered before turning foot and walking away. "What a dishonorable brother I have..." He said, loud enough for Conrad, Cecelia and Julia to hear, as well as a few others, including Gunter and Gwendal who stood off not too far from the group.

"...Conrad..." Julia said, once Wolfram had entered the confines of his castle. "..."

"I know..."

"Conrad, darling?" Cecelia spoke with a hint of confusion lacing her words.

The two remained silent; neither spoke or made any show that they had heard her.

My heart is beating so fast...it's painful and it makes me a little dizzy...is it because...Wolfram is out of my reach...

Kagome placed her hand gently against her heart as she stood outside the tent; watching the flames produced by a sad and meaningless war. Tears littering the battle field where her lord's warriors and the enemy's warriors had lost their lives. Tribulation followed those who had promised their lives to their queen... Kagome felt the same pain, since she too...promised her life to her savior. However, unlike those misfortunate soldiers...she chose whom to serve and she chose how to respond. They had no choice in their queen or king, and they had no choice in this war. She followed Wolfram's orders, but if she wanted, she could say no...She just chose not to. He had saved her from her frozen tomb site and for that...she would do anything...that he desired.

"Even at the cost of my own life..."

"Hey kid, what are you muttering?"

She let her hand fall from her heart and turned to see Yozak standing with a hand on his hip, looking at her questioningly. "I think I understand, Yozak..."

"Huh?"

"You are extremely loyal...not so much to the queen...but rather...you are loyal to...Conrad..."

"...heh...what are you going on about."

"I was confused as to why so many soldiers would throw their lives away so foolishly...but they aren't doing it for one reason all together..." She gave a small smile, "They each have, or had, their own reasons to fight. Children, wife, their country, friends, family, money, a select prince...and a few fight for their queen...but no one's reason is decided on by the queen..."

"Those are some strange things to say during a war, but I guess your right. Yeah, I'm not fighting because the queen wants me too...I fight for Lord Conrad, and him alone. I will protect the Queen, but she is not my reason for fighting."

"Yes, I understand."

"Is your reason the Little Brat?"

"..." She turned a glare on him and he chuckled, "Yes, my reason for fighting is My Prince Wolfram; I will serve him and him alone..."

"...Then maybe you should be with him?"

"He has requested that I remain here and help his soldiers...so I will remain here...where I can be useful to My Prince."

"Useful, huh, if you say so...but I think, if I were given the choice...I would want to be by his side, so that I could protect him..."

"Yozak...please go, and watch over Conrad and Lady Julia. The war is soon to become more fierce and brazen then before, and I have this horrible feeling...that Julia...will not make it..."

"Wha~"

"Kagome! Kagome, we have an emergency! Some has just arrived, but his wound was caused by an Esoteric user and it won't close! At this rate, he'll die..."

"One person, you shouldn't get so emotional―"

"No, not just one...actually, I was informed that others were on their way. More than a third was injured by the Esoteric user..."

"I see," Kagome followed Gisela into the tent, leaving Yozak to stare after them.

'For a child...she sure is mature...or maybe...she's just really understanding of others...anyways...I should go to the Bielefelt Castle as she suggested...I just hope her feeling is little less than a bad ache in her tummy.'

Kagome had heard the hoofs of the soldier and confidant of Conrad Weller as he departed on his horse. She sighed as a couple soldiers came in with many more of the wounded soldiers. Being that she was pulling Esoteric energy into her body so that she could close the wounds...she was in a way, draining herself, yet recharging herself...

'My Prince Wolfram, I will do you will...but I beg of you, please...I wan't to return to your side...and protect you...'

-x-x-x-

Wolfram stared out the window, watching his currently disowned older brother as he talked with Julia out in the courtyard. He was on bended knee, both her hand held firmly in his and his eye locked with hers. Julia was a little more than bewildered by whatever he had said, and all she could do was stare from where she sat in front of him. A sudden nod and smile made Wolfram glare at the brunette.

"Humph!"

'He actually had a sexual relationship with the fiancé of Adelbert. How disreputable; first he hid the fact that he was half human from me, and than I find out that he has laid with a soon-to-be married woman. He truly has no morals!'

Wolfram let his eyes close before leaving the sight of the window and heading back to his mothers' room. He walked in and let a breath of relief out when he saw that Kagome's translucent robe was still lying on the bed. He grabbed it and rolled it up carefully before headed back out to the stable's where he would find his white steed.

"Wolfie, darling?"

"I'm going back to the healing aid's tent."

"...ah, Wolfie..." She frowned and followed after him, "Wolfram dear! Wolfram, please think about this! Stay with me Wolfie...please...PLEASE STAY!" She yelled out, taking her youngest by complete surprise as she fell to her knees in a gorgeous red dress, tears staining her cheeks. He stepped close to her and couldn't help the lost look that crossed his eyes, but only for a second, it vanished quickly as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

"I want to be with Kagome, and help out from there. I'm not nearly as good at the sword as Conrad and Gwendal...but at least I can protect her." He removed his arms and ran up to his horse before climbing onto it and snapping the reigns. "I'll be back, mother!" He called out as he passed her, riding through the gates of his fathers' castle, now his.

-x-x-x-

He rode swiftly for four hours until he made it to the edge of the field of blood and fire, riding through the battlefield, trying his best to avoid the conflict, but failing as he was suddenly made immobile. 'Wh-what's happening!?'

"Look what we got here..."

Wolfram tried turning but failed, hearing the footsteps of someone grow nearer.

"It looks like the minuscule demon prince, haha!"

'Grr, who do they think they are calling minuscule!'

"Let's have some fun with him," One said sickly.

"Yeah, I like the way that sounds."

"He's a brat though, not too much to look forward to."

Wolfram felt a nervous sweat film his face at the thought of what these men planned to do.

-x-x-x-

'I feel horrible...' Kagome closed her eyes at the thumping of her heart, her stomach churned as she crouched down with her arms holding her stomach.

'Wolfram...' She let her eyes open at the feel of Gisela's hands on her shoulders. A worried look held firmly in the green haired woman's eyes.

"I-I'm alright."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

Gisela nodded and went back to her job at hand while Kagome stood unsteadily back up. She let her eyes fall shut once more and concentrated fully on Wolfram. The first time she had saved him had linked their life energy together, so she easily found him a little less than an hour away. Another energy that was familiar to her was also near him and so, with a smile, she let her energy flow through the familiar.

'Please, let me protect him...'

-x-x-x-

Wolfram had officially been grossed out as a human soldier ran their fingers through his golden blonde locks.

"He isn't a brat, he's like...forty or fifty, so he's still experienced...enough...Though, I'll admit, I haven't any real interest in men...he definitely could pass for a female brat." He licked Wolfram along the length of his neck and would have continued with his sick torment had his attention not be caught by a sudden bright pink light from Wolfram's pouch.

Wolfram had clenched his eyes shut forcibly when the man had started playing with his hair, too disgusted to really look or pay attention. With the latest show of affections, licking his neck, Wolfram really felt like throwing up that morning's dinner.

"Wha~!"

"..." He frowned at the sudden silence that took over the area. His eyes open with more ease and he found that he was able to move again and his first act was to use his sleeve to wipe his neck of human saliva. His next, he looked around and found that the four men were unconscious...or possibly dead, on the field of blood. Lying across him and the horse he straddled was the pink translucent robe. "...Kagome..." He sighed and smiled as he clutched the robe carefully in his hands, making sure to keep it safely around his form before snapping his reigns on his horse and continuing to the girl who swore loyalty only to him.

'Kagome...thank you...'
