"Haven't you done that to any of your friends before or are you always the one they tease because you're a hot head?" The man continued speaking no matter what Wolfram did. So the blonde just responded to him instead of being constantly bombarded with endless words.

"Ha! They would never tease me. But my brothers do sometimes. I swear they do." Wolfram's eyes narrowsed as he tried to find proof in his memory.

"See? They do tease you!" The man smiled. Most likely they do it without you noticing. That happens sometimes,yes? I am just excited to see Yuuri's face when I tease both of you at the same time."

Wolfram frowned. "Does your excitement really have to keep me tethered to you? I don't much like being dragged around like a pet."

"Well, would you walk with me if I let you go or are you just going to use your power and leave me behind?"

"Hmpf. Like I'd stay with a kidnapper." He folded his free arm once again.

"Oh? But aren't you really curious on why I kidnapped you? Don't you want to know how I know your name even if I am not from here? And how I know Yuuri?"

Wolfram rolled his eyes. "You already said you wanted to know how Yuuri would react. To see how "enraged" he can get without the Maoh interfering."

"Oh that is true. I do want to see how he gets when I do my supper secret attack. You better be prepared Wolfram. I bet your face is going to go bright red." He smirked at the smaller male.

Wolfram's eyes shifted towards the man. "What exactly are you going to do?" He became more suspicious of the man's intentions. "If it makes Yuuri sad or mad or even in danger, I have to stop it."

"Oh. I don't know how he is going to react so you will not have to stop me." He smiled widely. "I don't think you will have a say on what I am going to do."

"Not have a say? Excuse me?" Wolfram watched him, eyes narrowed. "Well I certainly don't have to keep walking along with you. I'll just stay right here, thank you. Until you release me from this...thing." He rattled the cuff on his wrist impatiently.

"I don't think that I can release you before seeing Yuuri once again." He smiled. "I think that I can just tug you along. But I would prefer if you just continued to walk with me."

"Well I would prefer not to be in this situation at all!" He glared and refused to keep walking.

"Well you don't have any say now do you? Now will you just please move your feet? You do want to see your fiance, correct? Or do you think you can leave him alone for a long time without him cheating on you?"

"I will not move my feet." Wolfram nodded, matter-of-factly. "And how do I know you won't try anything with him? I don't trust you."

"What do you mean you don't trust me? Don't I have a trusting face?" The man batted his eyelashes teasingly. "I am not planning on doing anything to him. Trust me on that. I just want to see his reaction to something." He grinned then pouted. "Will you pretty please move for me?" He batted his eyes even more.

"Ha! You think your Earthly charm can work on me? It's laughable." Wolfram closed his eyes and looked away, one arm folded. Of course I don't trust you."

"You only don't because you are too much of a wimp to even see that I am Yuuri's friend. And I guess you're just too much of a pretty boy to have my charm work on you." The double-black sighed and folded his arm. "Well I guess we should make camp here then right?"

"For your information, it's because you kidnapped me. How many times do I have to say it? And, no. No way. It's not safe out here."

"Well where is safe then? Huh? Since you do not want to move I guess we will just have to make camp here." He sat down pulling Wolfram with him. He set Wolfram's sword down on the other side where Wolfram couldn't reach it. "Unless you have a better plan little lord wimp."

"Gah!" Wolfram gasped as he fell landing on his backside. "Ow..." He groaned and rubbed the sore spot. "With you. With you? I don't want to move while tied to you." He let out a frustrated sigh.

"Well then we are now going to make camp here. You do have supplies right? All of my items were lost in the process of getting here." He smiled at Wolfram. "You should cheer up, you know. You're not handsome when you frown."

"Does it look like I have supplies?" Wolfram gestured at himself. "I have absolutely nothing on me! Not even my sword, thanks to you." The blonde glared. "I was only supposed to be gone for a few hours and then you showed up. Obviously, someone will worry since I haven't returned back to the castle yet."

"Do you think they will send a search party after you? Oh, that may be fun to dodge or even get captured. I don't think any of them would be able to undo these handcuffs without hurting both of us. I wonder what they would do!" He smiled happily. "Who do you think will come after you?"

Wolfram stared at the man. "You are really insane." He looked down at the cuff and frowned at redness around his wrist. "Obviously these things are for torture. And you think it'd be excited to get captured? Now I'm really glad you didn't take me to Dai Cimaron."

"I am not insane!" The man frowned. "They are not made for torture though I did notice that I did put them on a bit too tight." He looked at the redness on his own wrist. "And I kinda am too. I wonder what they would think of me in Dai Cimaron." He scratched the back of head. "Oh well. So, are we close to the castle? You said you didn't go far away right?"

"Pfft. Like they'd care about you." He turned his head around in a huff. "Close enough I'd rather just get these things off, and walk back right now!" He thought to himself. The city is just beyond those trees there...I wonder if I could get these off and run for it? But then would I be thought as a coward? "Gah! " He let out in frustration. "Just get these cursed things off, okay? I can't function like this!"

The larger man frowned. "Fine." He rummaged through his pockets to find the key and unlocked the handcuffs. He quickly grabbed Wolfram's wrist. "You are taking me with you!" He held the handcuffs open and ready to be put back on within seconds.

Wolfram tensed to break away. "You can't order me around like that!" He pulled on his sore wrist. "Why can't you just visit the castle like any other normal person? Now let me go."

"I did let you go. "Well kinda but, will you take me to the castle then? I can't just visit the castle like a normal person because I've never been here before. I am afraid that I will get lost." He didn't release, but held slightly more loose.

"You could have stayed on the road." Moron. "Now let go already. The only difference is you're actually touching me." He glared and jerked wrist away.

"F-Fine." He let Wolfram's wrist go and rubbed own. "How much of a journey do we have? And since it's dark, will there be bandits that come out? I've always wanted to come across a bandit like in the stories I hear that Yuuri had told his mother."

Wolfram stared at him. "I'd hope not. This close to the castle they would only be looking for trouble." He stood turning and started walking for the road. "You're so naive thinking it'd be easy. If they were human with esoteric stones, you'd be on your own." He grumbled to himself as he walked. "I should just leave you behind. A little bit of fire magic, and I could." A thoughtful expression touched his face.

The man hurriedly followed after. "Y-you wouldn't want to do that right? You would rather take me to the castle right, Wolfie? He smiled and blinked his eyes a few times. "And I think I could fight them off. I do have your sword, remember?"

"Why in the world would I want to take you myself? And if you think you're so tough. Stay out here by yourself and fight them off so we in the castle don't have to."

"Because you want to see what I am up to, correct?" He smiled and let out a soft snicker as he continued to follow. "I think I will just continue to follow you. I do have business with your fiance after all."

Wolfram breathed an exasperated sigh and mumbled to himself. "I can't belief I'm walking with an insane man in the middle of the forest."

"If you call me insane again, I might just show you what I can do with your own blade."

Wolfram waved his hand over his shoulder. "So far you haven't proven yourself to be anything other than insane."

"Well, what do I need to prove myself not to be?" The man asked, his eyebrows raised. "Fighting? Flirting? I guess I could flirt with you couldn't I?" He smirked at his own comment.

Wolfram quickened his step. I'd really rather you not. It's highly inappropriate." He shuddered a little.

The man quickly followed after. "Oh what do you mean by that? I couldn't flirt with you only because you are Yuuri's fiance. Is that it?"

"Is there need to have any other reason?" Wolfram ducked under a particularly low branch and kept moving quickly through the area, having traveled it a lot in his lifetime. "I'll give you one. I am simply not interested in your antics."

"My antics? You don't like how I randomly appear and then fall in love with you at first sight do you?" He followed as quickly as possible stumbling here and there as he tried to keep up. "You know you should slow down. I don't know this forest like you do."

"It's not my fault you got yourself lost in here. You have to keep up on your own if you want out. It's not my job to keep track of you."

"Well fine then!" The man walked faster to keep up. "So what do you do at the castle? As in. What does your daily routine fill with?"

"Wouldn't you agree that telling you of my personal duties would only give you knowledge of the castle itself? If I were to tell you what I did and when, it could give you unwanted advantages."

"Well I wouldn't think so. I think it would just be interesting to learn about my friend's finace's daily life. I was just curious on what you did and such. All I know about you is that you're a pretty boy who likes to spar."

"Ha!" Wolfram turned over his shoulder. "'Likes to spar?' Hardly." He waved one hand and continued. "I carry a sword for protection both of myself and my King. Though gladly, my life would fall before his. I don't have the time to dabble about in mere swordplay for fun. Training, that's what it is." He sighed. "Though I dislike the view people seem to be having. The weak prince. Ch. How crude. I fight just as well as my brothers and the other soldiers."

"Oh? Well then you should show me! Once we get to the castle! We shall spar! I can bet you a billion to one that I will beat you! I am pretty good at fencing back on earth. I bet I can take a wimp like you down."

"If I recall I just said I don't like sparring. Once I get to the castle, I'd much rather rid myself of you."

"Oh? I don't think you will be able to. I think that you and your fiance would love talking to me. I can't wait to talk to you two about everything! It makes me so excited!"

"Ugh." He held a hand to his face as he stepped out onto the road. "It's night time. Couldn't you at least wait until morning?"

"Until I start bothering both you and Yuuri? Oh, I guess so as long as no one tries to shank me."

"I bet you'll be nice and cozy and safe in the castle dungeon." Wolfram responded in a brooding attitude. "I'll take you myself."

"Oh! I don't think Yuuri would let you put me there! Like I said, we were very good friends in school! He would never want to see a friend in a dirty old dungeon! You know him well enough that he would never put someone who doesn't deserve it into the dungeon."

"In my personal opinion, you do." Wolfram looked up the road at the large city surrounding the castle. "This is just ridiculous. Has my horse been stolen away as well?"

"Now that I didn't do." The man crossed his arms as he looked at the castle and the town surrounding it. "Oh wow! This place is huge! And maybe it didn't get stolen, but borrowed."

"Ch. Anyone who'd 'borrow' a horse with the Bielefeld crest on it, is suicidal." Wolfram started marching up the road. "This day just keeps getting worse," he grumbled. "Better not be any human rebels running around out here or something."

"And what if there is? What's so bad about humans anyway?" The larger man looked at him strangely. "Why do you not like them?"

"I don't expect you to understand. They keep causing trouble for us. Their reasons are ridiculous as we are just trying to live on our own but they just can't see that."

"Have you tried to reason with them? As in give them a one on one talk? And what do they keep on doing anyway?"

"Right. Talk to them face to face. I can't even walk into a human country without someone trying to kill me. Some even use esoteric stones to limit my powers. I hate that feeling. It's quite painful you know." Wolfram sighed. "For one reason, they keep acting aggressively. As if to start a war."

"Oh, really? I don't understand why they want to start a war with the demon kingdom in the first place? What do they think that you have done for starting a war? And what do esoteric stones really do?"

"To put it simply. The Great Demon Kingdom and its people have powers that can control the elements. Not all of us do, however. Still the humans fear it, I suppose. Thinking that we will use that power. They have completely forgotten what this nation went through to save them hundreds of years ago." Wolfram shook his head. "Esoteric stones are a natural weakness for us Demons. It's a sort of counter-power that renders us immobile when near them. I myself get very nauseous."

"Oh? So they fear you and have a counter for you themselves because of fear. Well that's interesting. I guess they are just afraid that you are going to overpower them with your skills and try to take over their territory or something. Are all humans this way or are there some that actually have full hearts?"

"I haven't met many who didn't try to kill me or throw rocks at me. Not until Yuuri showed up anyway. For some reason a lot of people trust him. Or at least he trusts them all too easily. It gets us into trouble more than it helps."

"What kind of trouble? Does he get kidnapped a lot or something? I can picture him getting kidnapped and being all like 'Oh, hi. Wait, oh you're my enemy. Yes,well, okay then. Do you want to go get something to eat with me?'"

"It's a serious matter! No matter what happens, he's the Maoh." Wolfram folded his arms. "It's not like you'd understand the importance. He's just naive and a wimp. That's why we have to keep an eye on him all the time."

"Oh? Well it does make sense since he is a king. You don't want others being able to use him and whatnot. So what kinds of things do you do as the king's fiance? Do you sleep in the same bed as Yuuri? And," He let out a small laugh. "In a pink nighty?"

Wolfram stopped and turned around. "Have you spies in the castle or something? Haven't you ever heard the term, "personal"?"

"Well yes I have heard of the word but I am one of Yuuri's closer friends. I know a lot about you and Yuuri from his mother! And how would I have sent spies when I have never been here before? I don't even know how I got here."

"I should have known." He sighed. "Fantastic. How long have you been here exactly? Yuuri has to travel through water to get between worlds. Did you do the same, or rather "wake up" in a body of water?" Wolfram thought for a moment then distanced himself. "You make me uncomfortable. Just thought you should know. And not in a good way."

"I had been here for about three minutes before I found you wandering around. And from the pictures Jennifer had taken I recognized you in seconds so I, well. That's how we are here together now. How do I make you uncomfortable? I haven't done anything to you, really."

Wolfram eyed him for a moment then turned to continue walking. "How you ask? For instance, carrying me over your shoulder. Not the best first impression. Also, using those tiny, metal shackle things to tether me to you. Again, not a good impression. Also, taking my sword. Suggesting we stay the night outside. And not to mention your inappropriate advances." He ticked the reasons off on his fingers.

"It's not my fault that your eyes are just so interesting to look at." The man shook his head. "And I only did all of those things to get your attention and to make sure that you were really the person I was looking for. Well either you or Yuuri would have been fine. If you want your sword back its right here." He held it out for Wolfram. "Here take it. It's too heavy for my tastes anyway. And have you never just been camping outside before? It's fun. You get to just stare at the stars. I don't see anything wrong with it."

"It's not my fault either." Wolfram snatched the sword away and inspected it. "All you had to do was ask or head to the castle like any other normal person. I don't just camp outside because it's too dangerous. In case you never noticed. We're not exactly at peace right now."

"Oh. Well thanks for the warning. I didn't know about anything around here. I didn't even know what direction to go. How can you expect me to? I'm not very good at directions. Does your sun set in the west as well?"

Wolfram rubbed his temples. "Ugh," he shook his head. "It's not that hard. Walk one direction long enough you'll find a road."

"But what if I walked into the wrong direction. I could have ended up into strange territory. If I mentioned that I was a friend of Yuuri that would have been bad for you two, correct?"

"Not necessarily. You're human. So long as you didn't cause trouble like you already have with me, you'd have been fine. And most don't know Yuuri by name."

"Oh,well then I most likely just would have started talking about how the demon king and I are good buddies. Oh I could tell you stories about how one time he got his foot stuck in the toilet. It was so funny. I think I was rolling on the floor laughing for ten straight minutes as he tried to get himself unstuck. Has he done anything stupid since he has been here?"

Wolfram rolled his eyes. "Lots of things. I blame his human side. He's not used to this world and it's taking him time. Like this engagement. He didn't even know our customs before asking for my hand. Then he accepted a duel with me again, because he didn't know our customs. That wimp is lucky he's still alive."

"Oh well that does sounds a whole lot like Yuuri. And He really didn't know that he was asking for your hand before taking it? That's strange. The way he talks about you is as if he was in love with you. He talks about you all the time. I thought he asked for your hand because he had finally had told you that he loved you. Has he not?"

"He asked for my hand the second day he was in this world." Wolfram had to turn his head to hide his blush. "He hasn't really said the words. It's fine though. I hadn't known he talked so much about me. He's always messing around with beautiful girls here."

The man smiled widely. "Well I will make sure that he will tell you when I see him. He is so much of a wimp to not tell you. And he talks about you all the time. But he does say that you think he's messing around when he's actually just talking to them. Are you really that possessive?"

"What are you talking about, 'possessive'? I'm his finace! It's my duty to make sure he doesn't cheat on me!"

"And you do that by doing him in bed right? Or are you the one on bottom? Or do the two of you switch often? The man's head tilted curiously. "What is your sex life like?"

Wolfram almost choked on his own saliva, cheeks bursting red. "That's none of your business! Stop asking question likes that!"

"Oh?" The man smiled then chuckled. "You know your face is really cute when it's all red like that. And I will take that as you at least do it once a week. So, how old are you anyway? You look around Yuuri's age

but when I asked Jenifer she couldn't tell me an answer."

Wolfram spun and hurried up the road. "Just stop talking to me like that!" He slapped his own face a little in an attempt to clear the blushing. "You should be glad you're still alive and just leave it alone!"

"What do you mean I should be glad that I am still alive? Are you saying that you could kill me if you wanted to? You know if you did I think that Yuuri would be very disappointed in you. He maybe would even have to punish you." The man smirked.

"Who says he'd even know? Things like that happen all the time and if the humans found out you were with the Demon Kingdom they'd certainly disagree. And what is it with you? Just leave my personal life out of it. You claim to know Yuuri, but I certainly don't know you."

"I am one of Yuuri's childhood friends! We used to be friends when he was little. I remember thinking that he was a girl for the first few years of his life because his mother would always put him in cute little dresses. I came back to visit him a while ago when his mother told me everything. Including everything about you and him. So it makes sense that you haven't heard about me at all. I always seem to try ad visit him when he is here. So is it my fault that I am curious about you?"

"You can be curious all you want but my personal life is just that. 'Personal.' I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop assuming things and asking such horrible questions. I find it actually disturbing. You say things like "you know you look cute when..." and the like about me, then turn around and ask questions about the relationship between Yuuri and I?"

"Alright, alright I guess I will stop teasing you about such matters, until later. The man smirked then looked around. "This kingdom is really quite beautiful. Has it always been this way?"

"Not always." Wolfram paused to compose himself. "A long time ago this entire world was almost destroyed. But our first Maoh, His majesty the Great One, Shinou sacrificed a lot to save it. Even the humans."

"Oh? This 'Shinou' guy sounds pretty impressive. Did he have black eyes and black hair like Yuuri does? Or was he a pretty boy like yourself? "

"Don't just call him that. It's disrepectful. Call him the Great One if you must refer to him. And some have said I look a lot like him."

"Oh really? Well then he was a pretty boy." The man smirked, knowing it would bother Wolfram. "So I heard that you and Yuuri have a daughter. What does she look like? Does she have dark hair like Yuuri or is it lighter like yours? Hmm?"

"She looks like neither of us in all reality. Her hair is more of an Auborn color. She's a cute little girl who is very obedient and loves her fathers." Wolfram nodded.

"Oh! She does sound very adorable. I cannot wait to meet her! Does this little princess have a name?"

"Her name is- Come to think of it, I'm not so sure I want you near her either."

"Don't you think I will get to know her soon enough as well? I think that Yuuri would love to introduce her to me. She does sound really cute." He smiled. "And I can't do anything to her it's not like she's my age anyway. And trust me I'm not into younger women."

"I'd certainly hope not. I'd never let you anywhere near her no matter what age she was! She is my daughter!" Wolfram let out a frustrated sigh.

"Oh? So you're a protective father? What if when she's older she brings a boy home and tells you that she is going to marry him. How would you react to that?"

"I would never allow it! Unless I approve of the boy. But why bring that up? It's so distant in the future."

"Oh I was just curious on your standpoints of being a father was. Do you and Yuuri want to have another child?"

"The subject has never really come up. Greta, and the bear bees are quite enough."

"What are bear bees? Are they exactly what they sound like they are, a mixture of a bear and a bee? And wait, these Bees are your children?" One hand rested at the man's chin, a confused expression on his face.

"You must not have them in your world. They are a protected breed here. And yes. Some of them are our children. They were born because of Yuuri and I. Therefore, we are their parents."

"Because of Yuuri and you? What did the two of you do to make the Bearbee's? I am slightly confused about it."

"We helped them to hatch by giving them our body heat and love."

"So you two had sex and made a Bearbee? Or was it like hatching an egg? Did you two take turns sitting on an egg and watched it carefully as they hatched?"

"No way!" Wolfrom threw up his hands. The man's idiotic questions were really getting to him. He wished that he would just disappear. "We hugged it, okay? Those eggs are quite large."

"So you hugged it and it hatched? This seems like a really weird place. Are there any other strange creatures here? Like oh, are there any dragons!"

"Dragons are a protected species here. You are not likely to see one."

"Do you have them in a zoo? Like a barred off area so that people know not to hunt them or do they just run free and wild here?"

"Of course not. They are free but only in a certain area. Though poachers still try and hunt them."

"Well then I am glad that your kingdom is trying to protect them. I hope that I do see a dragon, even though it's not likely. I also hope that I can see Yuuri soon too. How long did you say it took to get there?"

"I said I wasn't taking you to see him." Wolfram folded his arms. "How many times do I have to repeat myself?"

"As many times as it will for me to try to convince you to take me there." He smirked. "You know you want to get back to Yuuri's side don't you? So that you can cuddle him and kiss him"

Another frustrated sigh escaped Wolfram's lips. "My distrust of you is still stronger than that. My duty is to protect the King and that I will do no matter what my personal interest or wants are. That doesn't mean I want to do those things." He quickly added.

"So wait. I'm a threat to Yuuri?" The man held his stomach as he started to laugh. "I couldn't hurt him even if I tried. He's too cute for that. I would hate to see him cry."

"Idiot. My point is, I don't trust you. Therefore, I won't lead you to him."

"Oh?" The man moved close to Wolfram's face and put a hand close to Wolfram's almost touching it. "You won't? Don't you miss his touch?" He grabbed hold of Wolfram's hand. "And his kisses?" He moved his face even closer to Wolfram's their lips almost touching.

"What is the matter with you?!" Wolfram shoved away with free hand and reached for his sword. "You claim to be Yuuri's friend and then you do things like that! WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!"

The man shrugged. "I'm bored. I thought kissing you would help me to be entertained. It's because you won't take me to see Yuuri. All I want to do is to see him. I haven't seen him in so long. You do have to say you did get slightly excited now didn't you?"

"I don't care if you're bored. I will not take you to Yuuri and that's that! You keep proving to me that that's the LAST thing I want to do!"

"Oh? Really?" The man frowned. "Well then what are we going to do here? Are we just going to live in this forest until someone comes and finds us? Oh maybe Yuuri will come to us."

"In case you haven't noticed, we left the forest a while ago. Are you too glued to your perverted thoughts or something? We're nearly in the city, idiot."

The man looked around. "Oh...oh yes we are! Everyone is dressed so strangely here. But that is what you get for coming into someone else's world." He looked at all the food and notices a boothe with manju. "What are those things? Is that face supposed to be Yuuri's?"

Wolfram sighed. "It's a delicacy here. Seriously, just go away and enjoy the city on your own or something. I've much better things to be doing."

"Weren't you just returning to the castle? I-" The man took in a deep breath. "I just really wish to see Yuuri. I have something very important to tell him. And If I don't. I don't know what I will do. Have you ever had a moment, Wolfram, where you know you needed to do something and it bugged you until you got it done?"

"Yes, I have. But in any case, I still have no reason to show you. Find someone else to help you."

"You know him the best! That means you know this area the best! So who's better to show me than you? Please? I just- I'm afraid I'll get lost."

"I really couldn't care less about that." Wolfram waved him off. "Find someone else."

"Fine I will." The man turned and walked a few steps away. He looked around before going up to a person. He opened his mouth to talk but then closed it.

Wolfram smirked then turned on his heel walking away. "Have fun with that." He said under his breath.

The man turned around again to see Wolfram's retreating back. He slowly started to follow him, knowing it was his only way to get back to the castle. He watched as the blonde ducked into a shop. Curious he followed after but waited outside for several minutes. He looked at his wrist as if he wore a watch then pulled out his handcuffs. He stepped inside quickly noticing Wolfram. He hurried to him and snapped the cuff onto his already bruised wrist.

Wolfram gasped and spun on him angrily. "WHAT THE HELL?!"

The man blinked, surprised by Wolfram's sudden anger and the fire in his eyes. He tried to back away but stumbled backwards to the floor.

"Get these damned things off me!" Wolfram yelled clenching his fists. The shop owner watched from a safe distance behind his counter. "Can't you just act like a normal person for once?!"

The man quickly unlocked the cuff. "I...Ah..I didn't mean to offend you. I'm sorry." He bowed his head quickly.

Wolfram's expression didn't change. "Seriously?! You didn't mean to offend me? Well you obviously did. You really think I would take you to see Yuuri? After all you have said and done to me?"

The man remained where he was, appearing to be in some shock. "Ah...ah...I...ah...no..I don't think you will. He slowly stood up and bowed towards him. "But, I would appreciate it if you did."

Wolfram's emerald eyes narrowed. "Nice try." The prince stormed passed him back outside leaving the shop owner in shock.

The man quickly bowed to the shop owner and followed after trying to keep up. "Wolfram, please? Please, wait?"

"Why the hell are you still following me? Haven't I made myself clear?"

"Y-you have but I made myself clear as well. I wish to see Yuuri even if I only get to talk to him for a moment and then have Murata send me back. I wish to speak with him."

"And what's with this sudden change of attitude? Something happen all of a sudden to make you actually act like a real person?"

"I've always acted like a real person! It's just you-you're scary!" The man pointed one finger at Wolfram. "You could make a baby cry with that face of yours. I just. I don't want to see it again."

"So long as you understand it." Wolfram spun on one heel and walked away. "You do anything out of line and you'll see more than that."

"Ah, o-okay." The man followed after Wolfram. "So, Wolfram, what part of this country were you born in?"

"Far off from here in the Bielefeld family lands. There is a map in the castle. I'm sure Gunter would love to teach you all about it."

"Oh? Is Gunter the white haired one that looks like a movie star? I would love to learn about this land! It's all I ever wished for! Do you think he really would?"

"You'd never get him to stop."

"Is he that kind of person that once you get them going that they are like a wound up doll that never stops even if you want them to? Ah." The larger man bit his lip. "Maybe I shouldn't then. Does Yuuri have to deal with him?"

"All the time. He's probably having lessons with him. Assuming it's not too late and the entire castle is panicking because I haven't returned yet." Wolfram tossed a half glare over his shoulder as he continued walking.

"It's not my fault you haven't returned yet." The man thought for a moment then spoke again. "Ah well sorry it was my fault but, I hope he's not having lessons. Tthat would ruin my day with him. I would hate to just have to stare at him at a desk all day. Do you do that sometimes? Just stare at him?" He raised an eyebrow.

"I have no reason to answer that. The fact of the matter is I have grown rather tired of your company and would rather be rid of you. I'm only letting you see Yuuri on the condition that you don't do anything. And it's late.

"Why would I do anything to him? I only want to talk to him. And thank you for talking me Wolf-chan! You have no clue how much I appreciate this! "

Wolfram's shoulders tensed visibly. "Do not call me that name ever again." He quickened his pace as he thought to himself. I can't believe I'm taking him to see Yuuri.

"Oh? You don't like it?" The man smiled and hurried after him. "So has Yuuri grown taller after a few years of being here? "

"Yes, I suppose he has. Though as his "friend" as you claim, you should know that."

"Like I said before I am his childhood friend. I haven't seen him since I was young. I came home a few days ago to find Yuuri's mother raving about him being the demon king. She has told me everything and I gratefully listened. And now I am here."

"Jennifer hasn't told anyone else before." Wolfram became suspicious once again. "Why would she tell you, of all the people she could?"

"Because I asked what Yuuri had been up to and I guess he had just barley left a few moments before I arrived and she was very sad that he left without tasting any of her curry."

"He left without the curry? Oh of course he did. He never thinks about that stuff." Wolfram sighed shaking his head. The castle gates are not far. You should see them in a minute when we get over this hill."

The man smiled. He looked at Wolfram excitedly, his hands clasped behind his head. "I can't wait to see him again. And Yes He never remembers those types of things. Sometimes I wonder where his head is at."

"It would have been so much easier if I had my horse. Hopefully someone found him and took him back home- If that's the case they definitely will be worried. Better hurry." Wolfram picked up the pace to a run. He knew Yuuri would be worried especially.

The strange man struggled to keep up with Wolfram. Unlike the blonde, he was far from being a trained, fit soldier. "W...wolfram," he panted. "Slow down!"

"I can't slow down! Last thing I need is for my brother, Gwendel, to start a search party!"

"Ah? Is he your oldest brother?" The man asked. He was running out of breath but couldn't resist talking. "Can't we just slow down a little bit? How much further up is it?"

"If you can't tell by now, you really are an idiot. It's hard NOT to see the castle at this distance. I really doubt you'll get lost at this rate and I have to make sure things haven't gotten out of control."

"How could things have gotten out of control? You were only gone for a few hours, correct? That's not very long. I only delayed you for maybe an hour or two." He smiled at him breathlessly then looked at the castle. "Wow. That place is huge!"

Wolfram sighed as he ran. "You know nothing of this world. Gone an extra hour or two and people start to worry. Especially Yuuri!"

"Ah Yuuri. He would always worry about the smallest of things. Did he blush the first time you kissed him?"

Wolfram pursed his lips, not stopping to look at the man. "I've never kissed him."

"Oh so Yuuri is the one who does all the instigating. Way to go Yuuri. Well I bet you can't get to sleep without one of his kisses can you?" He smiled at him. "How many do you ask for before going to bed?"

Wolfram's eye twitched. "I'd really appreciate if you would stop saying such unnecessary things." The sound of hooves hitting the ground drew his attention. He stopped running and turned to see a man wearing a khaki uniform.

"Wolfram!" The man called as he approached.

"Conrart?" Wolfram ran to meet him.
