Gwendal untied the ribbon from Waltorana's letter and read it in his normal monotone voice. "He doesn't agree."
"What a shock. He won't agree to a marriage with a human, right?" Wolfram folded his arms over his chest knowing his uncle well. There was more then one reason he objected to the wedding.
"Don't worry I bet I can talk to him." Yuuri smiled optimistically over at Saralegui. The boy felt a certain wave of relieve at the dark haired king's words. With authority and sternness Yuuri commanded. "We shall depart right away. Ready the horses I'll make Waltorana change his mind." No one in the room said otherwise the kings took their leave.
"If it's just two votes out of ten shouldn't the majority win?" The full human asked.
"No, unfortunately they all have to agree and Waltorana is a very stubborn man, so it won't be easy." Sara's averted his gaze disappointment clearly shone on his face. "Don't worry have faith everything will be fine." The blonde hid his blush as Yuuri grabbed his hand. The Shinzoku's skin was incredibly soft; it excited his sense of touch.
They walked outside holding hands. One of the guards brought Ao and the other horses over to them. Yuuri mounted his animal and rubbed its head gently in greeting. Shimaron's king mounted his solid black pack animal.
Wolfram, Conrad, Gwendal, Murata and Beryis trotted over to them. "Ready?" Yuuri counted heads everything seemed to be fine. "Let's go." The double black shook the harness sending Ao into a run. Saralegui rode beside him while the others rode behind the royal family.
"How long will it take?"
"About half a days journey; we can stop and eat before getting there if you want."
"I'm fine, just curious. How are you going to convince him that our wedding will bring only positive things to the world?"
"I have no idea." The Japanese male answered honestly. Sara frowned remembering his future husband never thought things through.
Once the castle was in view the group walked their horses tired and in the need of a rest. The soldiers let them in without any problems. A sign that let them know Waltorana would fight to void this wedding. The animals were taken to a stable where they could rest and have a meal.
Walking into the dinning hall the older blonde waited there with an innocent face. "Welcome, everyone please sit." The demon king and the human king sate next to each other. Waltorana sat at the head onside near Yuuri the other side sat Wolfram and his brothers.
"I think you know why we're here." The student was blunt. Everyone else in the room was getting a bad feeling from that. Saralegui felt completely out of place but of course he wouldn't let it show. "Why do you oppose my wedding?"
"For more then one reasons, the first reason is concerning my nephew." The golden haired prince sat up with a confused look on his face. "He was your fiancé for a long time. Wolfram deserves to by your side being your husband, not your bed warmer!"
"Uncle!" Waltorana shifted to glare at his kin. Wolf flinched back at the intimidating male.
"I have never used him like that! I have always value him as a person! His strength, his opinion I have lot of respect for him. Wolfram is always by my side!" The younger green eyed demon didn't seem shock by Yuuri's thoughts; neither did his brothers.
"His reputation-"
"I will make sure his reputation stays clean. I have never once used him for my pleasure and certainly did not throw him away for another." That Japanese boy hated how the people always talked about reputation and pride. The older blonde glared but said nothing more about the subject.
"Yuuri." The Shinzoku called softly. The Asian boy leaned closer to the human sovereign to he could talk to him secretly. "Let me use my suggestive hints on him."
"No Sara, it wouldn't work on him anyway." It was rude for someone to whisper to another at the table so that was the end of that conversation. Now the aristocrat had to bring up the worst subject in the world for them.
"How do we know that we can trust King Saralegui? That he won't betray us?"
"He has saved my life before. Our countries get a long fine and this marriage will let other human lands even if they are small join our peace treaty."
"He only wants power." Sun shone through the windows hitting the purple tinted glasses. His eyes were hiding from view but they knew his was glaring.
"Of course I want power." They all turned to look at the human. The uncle frowned feeling like he just won the argument. Everyone else gazed at him with wide eyes. "But you want power also so don't be a hypocrite." Waltorana who was now pissed at this point slammed his hands down on the table.
"How dare yo-"
"It's rude to cut others off. Now as I was saying, I do want power but I won't go through Yuuri to get it. I will support Yuuri with the power I get, not use it against him. This is marriage, I will treat Yuuri as my husband and nothing less." Shin Makoku's king blushed when the blonde ruler said husband he began to think did that also mean lover's activities?
The noble didn't believe him but had nothing to counteract him with. The amber haired human smirk evilly having won this conversation. The others were completely silent a tensed air between the aristocrat and the king.
A subtle scowl came from Waltorana. "Fine, you have my permission to marry." Yuuri let out a sign of relieve and Shimaron's king smiled innocently.
"Isn't that great, Yuuri?"
"Yes, it is." The double black took a hold of his hand. "Since that is settled we shall take our leave? Let's go home everyone." The student helped his lover stand.
"Goodbye, uncle." Wolfram bowed respectfully and followed the others out.
"When we get home I shall start preparing your wedding." The oldest brother said mounting his horse.
"What about the other aristocrat that didn't agree?" The Shinzoku asked feeling confident that he could talk to this person and change their minds about the wedding.
"Don't worry about it; Lady Cheri is talking to him."
"Are you excited, Shibuya?" The great sage grinned.
"What do you think?" Blushing he held on tightly to the reins the animals rushing off.
"Well, I think that went well." The black horse galloped next to Ao.
"Where do you want the wedding to take place?"
"Shin Makoku will be a great place." The full human smile innocently.
"Gwendal, will you please sent letters about my marriage to Sara to our friends in other countries Flynn from Caloria and Antoine and his wife from Fransia."
"Of course Your Majesty." Once he dismounted the oldest demon bowed.
"Are you tired? Shall I escort you to your room?"
"You're so sweet, Yuuri. I'm fine whatever you want to do I'll join you."
"Your Majesty." Both boys turned to look up at the busty woman who staggered up to them. Cheri clasped her hands in front of her chest. "Can I help with the wedding? Please!"
"Ah, sure."
"Wonderful! You won't be disappointed!" Humming she strolled back into the palace probably to ask Annisina for help.
"Was that a wise idea?" Saralegui's hot breath tickled his ear as he whispered.
"No, probably not but at least we don't have to do it. I guess this means she got her brother to agree."
"Aww, but I wanted to pick curtains that go with the floor." The long haired boy snickered.
"Well if you truly want to-"
"Yeah, I think I want to. After all this is the wedding of two amazing kingdoms. It should be nothing less then spectacular. And should have lots of taffeta hanging on the walls."
"Taffeta?"
"It's used for-"
"I know what it is. I'm shocked you know it actually makes me wonder…"
"What? Don't you think your best man Lord Beilfield as well as I would absolutely stunning in taffeta?"
"You and Wolf?"
"Surly you want him as your best man just as I want Beryis to be mine." The double black thought for a moment and nodded. Then the demon king started to wonder where Shin Makoku weddings different for Earth weddings? Were they similar? To plan a wedding what else do you need besides location, guest and food?
"I think we should check up on Lady Cheri plans the way she works she probably already done." Anissina and Cheri sat at a table drinking tea. The maids were in the redhead's lab severing cookies and tea. They bowed when the two emperors walked in.
"Yuuri!" The little girl raced over to him and jumped into his open arms. "I heard! I can't wait! Can I be the flower girl?"
"Yes, of course." He kissed the top of her head. "You now have three fathers how do you feel?"
"It's great. The more the merrier right?" She was placed on her feet and leaped over to her new father. She wrapped her arms around his middle and nuzzled her face in his stomach. Shocked at first he placed one of his hands on her head and stroked her hair not knowing how to take the news. Greta clearly accepted him as her father.
Yuuri smiled and Saralegui decided. He was going to help raise her wanting to be called "father." The sun hit the shaded glasses again.
'She will be come my heir if I can train her properly. She doesn't have any demonic powers so she can't be Yuuri's heir no matter how much he wants her to be. However, she doesn't even have my power of suggestive hints either. That will hinder her slightly unless she can become a great swordsmen.'
"Sara come sit." With a blink he was disturbed from his thoughts. Yurri sat next to the ex queen talking about plans. Just as the Shinzoku sat down Conrad walked in.
"Conrad, I wanted to know are wedding here different form Earth ones?"
"I've never been to an Earth wedding before so I'm not sure. I'm positive everything will be fine. How are the plans coming?"
"Fine. We're deciding on a color scheme already." The Japanese male looked over at his godfather his eyes showed boredom. Conrad held in a chuckle.
"That's great."
"I simply can't wait can you Yuuri?" Finger locked together with his mate.
"I'm sure it will be here in no time." Soon the wedding plans were finished and all they had to do was wait.
"Yuuri! Wake up!" Wolfram shook his king waking him from his sleep. "It's your wedding day!" The blonde ripped the blankets away from the king. Moaning the double black sat up rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Why are you so excited?"
"Because it is my king's wedding!" The prince grabbed his hands and pulled him to his feet. "His Majesty Saralegui and you will mingle with all the guests before the ceremony tonight. The guests have just began to arrive."
"I guess here it isn't bad luck to see Sara on the wedding day." Yuuri mumbled.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"It's bad luck to see each other on Earth."
"Simply ridicules. Yuuri are you saying you don't know how weddings work here? After all this time too?"
"It all happened so quickly." With a nervous smile the student nodded trying to defend himself.
"You will be with the guest all day till it is dark out. Next you will have the marriage. Then you and Sara will have the night to yourselves."
Wolfram continued to talk as the Asian boy dressed his stomach let out a mighty growl that shook the bedroom. "Let's go get breakfast."
"You can't eat now." The full blooded demon sighed. "All the guests have yet to arrive; you have to wait till there are all here." The prince heard Yuuri whimper. "Stop being a wimp and get out there."
Saralegui stood at his bedroom door; Beryis at his side. The blonde was dressed in a white robe with matching pants. He wore a red vest with a red slash around his waist. His long locks were pulled back and held up by a clip though his side locks cascaded down his front. "Yuuri!"
The two kings smiled walking side by side with their protectors three steps behind. "I heard that three nobles are already here." Lord Wincott, Karbelnikoff and Gyllenhaal smiled as the rulers walked in.
"Hello, everyone. Allow me to introduce King Saralegui of Small Shimaron my concert." Lord Wincoot shook their hands in greeting.
"I hope the both of you will be happy." The light haired man bowed. The redhead walked up to them and bowed smiling.
"It's a pleasure. I wish eternal happiness."
"Thank you." The Shinzoku grasped his hand tightly. Last Gyllenhaal bowed.
"I wish for the best." Gunter and Gwendal stride in the room; greeting the nobles. One by one the rest of the nobles showed up followed by the other rulers that made friends with Yuuri. Waltarana was the last of the nobles to arrive. If it wasn't his duty he wouldn't have show up either.
Wolfram bowed to his uncle remaining silent till spoken to. All the older blonde did was acknowledge his present. The other nobles stop to greet him as well as the king of the small human territories.
When all the guests arrived the sovereigns were formally introduced. "Introducing His Majesty the twenty seventh demon king of Shin Makoku Shibuya Yuuri." Yuuri stood at the top of the stairs where all could look at them. The claps echo through the room; all won over by the student's heart.
"Introducing the king of Small Shimaron the consort to King Yuuri, King Saralegui." The Shinzoku stood near his love looping arms. They all clapped though not nearly as loud as Yuuri's applause. The amber haired human wasn't shocked nor did he care that much. They walked down the steps together greeting everyone once more.
Off to the side were a few tables filled with many déclassé from all the territories. "Everyone please sit, it's time to eat." The double black's family sat near him then the nobles with Stoffel and Densham the closet to him. The food was amazing and the small chat was about approving the friendships along the lands. Flynn, Leila and Antoine became friends quite easily.
Yuuri clean his face of any food. The wedding will be in a few short hours and he was beyond nervous. Under the table the golden eyed male touched the demon's hand. "Are you alright, Yuuri?" It was whispered softly.
"Thank you I'll be fine."
"It's nothing to panic about." The human's words did calm him but not more then his smile. He returned the smile and squeezed the other's hand. Murata strolled up to his friend.
"It's time." He used his pointer finger to slide his glasses back up his nose. Once sun hit the glass his face seemed blank. Everyone stood following the sage outside. The kings were the last ones to get outside for they had to walk down the isle.
Nobles and royalty sat the closest to the alter. Ulrike and Murata were standing on the alter waiting for the rulers. The double black sage was holing a red ribbon while Ulrike held nothing.
Arm in arm the two kings walked slowly to the alter. All pairs of eyes on them. Once there they turned to face each other and held hands.
"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join King Yuuri and King Saralegui in matrimony under Shinou's eyes. These two people present now can be joined." The priestess's voice was loud and clear.
"Do you King Yuuri take King Saralegui, to be your husband, your constant friend, your faithful partner and your love from this day forward? In the presence of Shinou, our family and friends, do you offer to solemn vow to be a faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow? Do you promise to love him unconditionally, to cherish him for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"Do you King Saralegui take King Yuuri to be your husband, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish your union and love him more each day than you did the day before? Will you trust and respect him, laugh with him and cry with him, loving him faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles you may face together? Will you give your hand, heart, and love to him? In the presence of Shinou and our friends will you take him to be your husband?"
"I do."
Murata walked over to them. "Please place your arms together." Ken wrapped the ribbon around their wrist. "How do you feel Shibuya?"
"Like all of my circulation is getting cut off."
"Perfect." The sage kept his hands on there's. "You may now kiss your husband." Black eyes widened he made no movement. The blonde knew Yuuri wasn't going to move so he had to do it. Their lips clashed together in a sweet gentle lip lock. The band glowed a light green unnoticed to the Asian boy.
Wow…what a kiss.
All clapped as the kings were officially married. Now, it was time for the third part of the wedding. Murata escorted them to the bath he pushed his glasses back up his nose. "Enjoy." Yuuri gazed around it was the same bath room though why they had to bathe was beyond him.
"How do we get our shirts off?" Black eyes stared at the binding on his wrist.
"We can't." The Shinzoku chuckled. Embarrassingly the Japanese boy took of his pants with one hand. So did Saralegui however he wanted his husband to look which of course he didn't
The long hair male pulled Yuuri into the warm water. "Let me wash your back." Neither one of them could face the other's back so the human had to pull Yuuri against his body and reach around with his free hand. The demon blushed fiercely.
"Don't be embarrassed."
It took a few minutes for Yuuri to relax underneath the human's caresses. Saralegui pressed his body into the other's getting a good whiff of his scent. The favor was returned; the shady male hummed lightly. His blonde locks stuck to his skin. Yuuri couldn't help but see how beautiful the Shinzoku was.
The golden haired king noticed the stare. "Shall we continue to the last part of our wedding?" The double black nodded and they exited the bath. They wrapped towels around their bodies. With a grin Sara pulled the king into his bedroom.
"Sara, what are we-?" The double black was pushed to the bed with the blonde on top. Hungrily his kissed his husband with his free hand sliding up his chest. All of the color left the demon's face; he was lifeless.
Noticing how the double black didn't kiss back he pulled away. "Yuuri?" Once the shock was over he freaked pushing the blonde off.
"What are you doing?"
Saralegui looked up with a confused face. "Copulating with my husband to get this bond off our arm." He didn't think that the Asian boy would ever react like that. Black eyes glared at the ribbon trying to pry it off. "It won't come off like that."
"Why?"
"It won't go away until we reach an orgasm in unison." Yuuri's face lit up like a fire cracker.
"…What?"
"Why do you think all weddings are at night? You can't go through the day tied together! Yuuri did you really not know anything about this?" The double black shook his head franticly embarrassed beyond all imagination. "I told them that I would treat you like my husband but if you really don't want to it will only be this one time."
It took a while for him to regain his composure. "A-alright what do I do?"
"Well all we have to do is climax together so it doesn't matter how. I think it will be faster if we touch each other rather then ourselves."
"O-ok."
"Let me sit between your legs." The student didn't know if he could get redder as he spread his legs so the human could fit. Saralegui threw a towel to the floor keeping the other one close. Placing his hand on his husband's soft sex the Japanese male tensed. Yup, it was possible for the ruler's face to get even redder. The Shinzoku took Yuuri's hand and placed it on his own soft penis. "Do this." His hand stroked the flesh of his lover making it hard. The Japanese boy moaned despite his humiliation imitating the motion on the blonde.
When he moaned it went straight to the double black's member. The human king's lips were slightly parted with a juicy red color. His golden eyes half lidded, it truly was a sight to behold. "Oh! I'm close!" Yuri's body throbbed with need.
"Wait for me or this won't work." Yuuri pumped harder bring his lover to his level of pleasure. "Ok ready!" They matched each others pace grabbing the towel and covering the fluffy item with more white. Saralegui clasped next to the demon half on top of him. "O-ok now y-you can u-untie it."
His pointer and thumb pinched the ribbon pulling it back. The knot unraveled and the ribbon fell to the bed. The two males laid on the bed gasping for air. At first the blonde thought he would sleep in his own bed after copulating with him. Now he had no articles of clothes and truly he didn't want to leave the warm bed.
The Shinzoku cuddled into the demon ruler. "Sara?"
"Hm?"
"Now what? Don't you want to go to your room?"
"That's unfair Lord Beilifeid got to sleep with you everyday. I'm your husband and you didn't even want any intimate contact with me." He pouted his lower lips pushed out. "That's very unfair."
"Fine, you can stay just put something on."
"Alright. I don't have any clothes here though."
"Borrow mine, in the draw over there." Without covering his body he stood and trotted over to the drawer.
"Have you no shame?" Yuuri meant it teasingly but he didn't laugh.
"What's the point my naked body is already burned into your mind." Yuuri blushed while putting on his clothes. He knew his lover was right this night would never leave him. "The more you see it the more you will want it."
"Oh, just get into bed!" The Japanese boy laid on his side giving his husband a view of his back. With a frown the blonde did the same thing falling asleep instantly.
"Morning, Shibuya! How was your night?" Murata smirked.
"Shut up Murata! Why didn't you tell me about that?"
"If I did that, you never would have gotten married." The king could have hit his friend but he didn't; he growl instead.
"Where is your husband?"
"In his bedroom, he wants to move in with me."
"That's to be expected."
"I will get you for this." The great sage smiled as his friends turned around and walked away.
Beyris greeted his king like every morning. Saralegui returned the greeting but asked to be alone. The blonde sat on the bed remembering the activities of last night. He couldn't believe how upset he felt about it. From day one the long haired male was told he was beautiful, attractive and sensual and yet Yuuri wanted nothing from him. Blasphemy.
Well anyone could see how exotic Yuuri was. His pitch black hair and eyes; the way he acted. The demon king was overall very desirable.
'Why doesn't Yuuri love me? I mean lust! Why doesn't he lust after me.' The ruler shook his head. 'Yuuri will be a challenge. This is a political marriage, sex is just a bonus. Guess I'll just have to deal. What a waste.'
His special eyes caught movement in his bedroom. "Who's there?" No one answered but a soldier did move from his hiding spot behind the desk. The colors of the uniform he wore ia the same colors of the flag. "Big Shimaron!" The sword was drawn from its sheath as the grinning fighter charged. Saralegui dodge not by.
"Guards!" The blonde shouted moving away from another attack. Currently he was stripped bare of his weapons. If the spy was bound then he could use his hints on him. The weapon was raised over the soldier's head and the blonde was backed up to the wall. He closed his eye tightly bracing himself for painful contact.
He fell to the floor, hard but he didn't feel any other real pain like his skin ripping open. Amber eyes shot opened and widened as quickly as they opened."Yuuri!" The student fell on top of him cradling his head. Beyris had run in the room a second later fighting off the assassin. Badly injured the spy escaped.
"Get the healer quickly!" Sara was too afraid to move the demon had a pool of blood flooded from his back onto him and the floor. Beyris didn't need and more directions he ran shouting for Gisela then alerted Gwendal and the others.
The green haired lady ran to her king trying to get most of the blood to stop before moving him from the spot. After a few minutes he was brought to his own little hospital room. No one was allowed to enter which made everyone worry more.
A/N: I wonder who should be on top next time… I'm leaning towards Yuuri.
