Pairings: well you already know.

Chapter 4

In a different place at a different time stands a white palace surrounded by an empty field of green grass. Inside the halls, the bedrooms as well as the throne room is decorated with marble walls and gold floors. The warm spring air breezed through the windows in the halls as peace and serenity engulfed the entire area. A beautiful woman with bright red hair and wearing a white dress, is sitting on a huge feather stuffed, white pillow and watches the television set in front of her with tears in her eyes. As she begins to whimper watching the disturbing images on the T.V. another person enters the room. He is a tall, beautiful young man with a well defined muscular body which is nicely concealed with a white shirt and matching white jeans. He runs his hand through his long chocolate brown hair and stares at the woman with ice blue eyes. With a smirk on his face he thought he could cheer her up with a very familiar song. He begins to sing the Kyo Kara Maoh opening theme song.

"Hateshinaku tooi sora ni

Arigatou no kimochi dake

Todoku you ni ryoute

Hirogete warau"

He peers at her for a bit to see if she responds, but she doesn't even look his way, her gaze still fixated on the T.V. set. So he continues.

"Chiisakute kowaresou na

Inochi no kakera o kimi mo… boku mo

Hitotsu-zutsu motte iru"

He walks towards her hoping she would turn around and recognize the song, but it was no good whatever she was looking at was too disturbing to ignore. The man's handsome features distort into a grimacing frown and he walks closer to where she was sitting, making sure to sing a little louder.

"Shinjitsu no hikari wa

Akarusa o mashite iku

Yami wa kiesari kimi no ko..koro ga

Mirai o terasu"

The woman notices his cry for attention and gets agitated still trying to ignore him. He sings even louder.

"Hitotsu yakusoku shiyou

Boku wa koko de ikiteru

Aru ga mama de ii mitsumeyou

Masshiro na iro"

The woman's left eye starts to twitch as she gets more and more agitated with this annoying man.

"Omoi way agate itsuka

Unmei ni tadoritsuki

Kagirinai tsuyosa

Mitukeru n da"

She takes off her heavy white high heeled shoe and waits for him to finish his song.

"Shinjitsu o motomeru n da……………….."

She could not wait for him to finish….. That white shoe connected swiftly to the front of his forehead knocking him backwards onto the floor. She then walks up to him and glares down at him "I am not going to sit here and listen to you sing the entire fucking theme song, enough is enough, you've been doing that since I brought wolfram home, leave your fan boy antics elsewhere , I'm dealing with shit right now, can't you see that?"

The handsome man on the floor stares up at her nervously and chuckles "sorry sis, I can't help it he was always my favorite character". The woman simply returns to her seat seriously upset as she watches the T.V. set. The Brother now concerned by her solemn behavior goes to see what she is looking at, he sits next to her and stares at the images on T.V. "oh god what the hell are you looking at".

The Image of a young girl being raped and killed while a village in the background burns to the ground appeared on the T.V set. This time the woman bursts into tears and holds her brother, burying her face in his chest. He comforts her as she weeps "it's all my fault" she says "someone must have seen me build my nest in the demon kingdom where the dragons are nesting, someone must have seen me, now they think they have to do all of this to appease me,.. Oh Avery I can't allow this to go on".

Avery holds her tightly and smirks "Ember, please you're the phoenix goddess; this is no way for a goddess to act". When he got no response he rubs her arm in comfort in an attempt to soothe her "you know, your going to have to send wolf, back home sometime".

Ember looks up at him and smiles bitterly "weren't you the one that claimed to be his number one fan, you took him to different dimensions, taught him a new style of fighting and opened up his views of the world this past year, so I thought you of all people would understand just how hard it is for me to let him go".

Avery nods "yeah, but I have come to an understanding…." He pauses and looks at the T.V. set as another elderly woman is hunted down and sacrificed "I understand that what's happening is real. It's not some stupid cartoon, this is his world and even though I enjoy watching people do what they do I still have to remain wise to the fact that these are different dimensions that we are observing, it's clearly obvious that his world needs him".

Ember nods her head slowly but the sadness that engulfed her still remained, the blond boy was like one of her own, she grew to love him as she would have loved her own son, it would be one of the hardest things she would ever have to do. "where is he right now?"

Avery looks down at her "he's sleeping, we went to Time Square yesterday, it took me two hours to teach him how to play "dance, dance revolution", he breaks off with a chuckle remembering how much the blond fumbled and complained about how chaotic and noisy the game was. "We had to stop, I think the bright lights and sounds nearly gave him a seizure, it was definitely a fish out of water situation".

Avery smiles reminiscing as Ember gets off of him and dries her tears "once he gets back home his memories of his family will come back so I hope he can pick up where he started".

Avery stands up "don't worry, he'll remember his family and his teachings and skills, he'll manage".

Ember gets up and turns the T.V off, she then walks out the door leading into the hallway making a bee-line for the room at the other end of the hall "I have to remove the fire stone from wolframs back and lock it up. It's not that I don't trust him with it, it's just that I don't want him to know about what he's become otherwise he might blame himself for all the murders happening in his region".

Avery looks at Ember strangely "why not leave it with me?"

Ember stops and glares at him "if I could remember correctly dear brother someone decided it would be a good idea to show off the last fire stone to impress some sluts in Big Cimeron and lost it, god knows where the hell it is right now thanks to you, that stone can detect phoenix power anywhere in the region it resides in, for you to have taken it anywhere was supremely stupid".

Avery chuckles "oh geez come on sis how long are you going to keep reminding me of my own mistakes?"

Ember rolls her eyes and continues walking till she met the door, she then turns around sternly and looks at her brother straight in the eyes "oh and another thing, you are not under any circumstances to visit him when he is at the demon kingdom, he won't remember you so if you tried to come on to him then, he will most likely fry you".

Avery gives her a huge grin and crosses his fingers behind his back "yeah….yeah sure…promise". Ember sighs and turns to the door, she grabs the doorknob and opens it, she peers inside at the sleeping blond sprawled out on the bed, Avery nearly drools at the bare flat stomach showing off through the silk blue pajamas the blond was wearing "classic wolfram, his sleeping habits will never change".

Ember shushes him and gently places her hand on the blonds head, she was going to miss him so much but she had to send him back quickly before she changed her mind. The feeling of someone watching over him made wolfram slowly open his eyes "mother?" Ember didn't say anything as she reaches one hand underneath him lifting him slightly; she locates the stone in his back.

Wolfram gives her a confused look as she kisses his forehead, she then pulls the stone from his back and the blond's eyes go blank and he collapses back on the bed. This made Ember cry, she sobs as she holds him in her arms cradling him.

Avery touches her shoulder suddenly and she looks at him. "Ember it's time". She nods slowly but still has him cradled in her arms. She takes one hand and holds it out towards the window of wolframs room. A huge portal opens up and wolframs body starts to float on it own, even then she doesn't let go. She walks with the floating, sleeping wolfram until they met directly at the portal. She caresses his cheek with her warm hand and smiles down at him "be safe my child".

Avery comes behind her and gently pries her hands off of the blond as he floats through the portal. Tears streak down her cheeks as she watches wolfram float through the portal and out of her life forever. The portal disappears leaving a grief stricken Ember with her supportive brother, she turns and weeps into his chest and the two hold each other alone in the room for what seems like forever.
