"What's Next? The Ultimate Weapon!?" (Part 1)
All is quiet in the Ken household; nothing stirred, not even a mouse. Ok, that's a massive lie. Banging and thumping with the occasional swear word, which will not be repeated, could be heard from Ken's bedroom and it vibrates off the white walls throughout the house, traveling to his brother's ears as Ken dresses himself in a hurry only to fall to the floor again creating another loud thump.
Two doors down Ryuu is in his office/workshop, his head laid on his arms that are folded on the desk, as he tries to catch up on some much needed sleep, after a hard nights work trying to restore a diary from the 1800's. Ryuu's ears twitch once, twice and then suddenly his eyes snap open. The sleepy, dazed look in his eyes instantly disappearing and in its place is a gleam filled with dark promises (1). Ryuu rises up from the chair slowly with predatory grace, like Dracula when he hunts for his next victim. Ryuu's face is blank except for his bottomless, black gleaming eyes as he opens his office door and strides with dark purpose to Ken's room.
Ken has just finished brushing his black slightly wavy hair, making sure to part it down the middle when a chill runs down his spine causing him to stiffen. He slowly turns, the air in the room seemingly growing colder, where his black eyes land on Ryuu who stand there quietly staring back. Sweat drips down the side of forehead and neck as he laughs nervously thinking, "Crap! I woke him up! I forgot he hates being woken up, even if it was accidental!"
Ken rubs his eyes from under his glasses, moving a step back whispering under his breathe, "I must still be tired or is that a black demon-shaped shadow with horns behind Ryuu?" He blanches, eyes growing wide as a demonic smirk like smile appears on Ryuu lips, his eyes filled with killing intent. Ken suddenly gets a heavy feeling in the pit of his stomach, alarm bells going off in the back of him mind. "I suddenly feel like running for my life and hiding," He thinks.
Outside the sun is shining bright rays of warmth onto the people, who happen to be outside this wonderful morning. The blue jays (2) and common brown birds making that oh so annoying tweeting sound, as they fly around seemingly without any senses of direction. While down below a grey haired man walks his cream coloured Great Dane, waving with a smile to the jogging female pair on the other side of the road who wave back. A pain filled scream fills the air, followed by what seems like a dragons roar. The Great Dane runs off in terror whimpering, pulling his master with him by the lead who gives off a surprised yelp. The poor joggers jump at the sounds making one fall to the ground and the other follow by tripping over her fallen partner both groaning.
…Outside Yuuri's house…
Ryuu slows his black Audi S5 coupe to a stop outside Yuuri's house. A wide smile lights up his rice-milk powder like pale face (3), ignoring Ken as he sulks shooting his brother an irritated glare every few minutes, while rubbing the two large bump growing on the top of his head. "Oh stop sulking Ken-chan!" Ryuu exclaims cheerfully, turning his head to the right to look at his adorable younger brother.
"You know what I'm like when I wake up Ken-chan. And anyway it's your fault for making so much noise this morning and SWEARING," Ryuu states calmly but growls the last word darkly. Ken cringes and his glare falters at his brother's growl. He knows how much Ryuu hates swearing even though Ryuu himself does it when and if he's angry enough. Seeing his brother cringe Ryuu sighs and pats his brother on the head, his left hand still holding the steering wheel. "I'm not mad at you Ken-chan, irritated yes but not mad. So cheer up and go get Yuuri-chan or you'll both be late for baseball practice."
Ken sighs giving his brother a small smile before leaving the car, walking down the garden path and knocking on the front door. "The recreational team temporary manger Murata Ken, nickname Muraken, has come for his captain," He chirps through the closed door. An excited looking Yuuri throws open the door wearing his baseball team uniform.
"Good morning Shibuya," Ken greets him warmly, but Yuuri runs past him, down the pathway and past Ryuu's car, "Let's go Murata!"
"Shouldn't I greet your mother," Ken Just shakes his head at Yuuri noticing that he has run past his brother's car. "Just come along!" Is Yuuri's ever so graceful rely. Note the sarcasm.
Jogging up to Yuuri, Ken pulls him gently to a stop by his shoulder, "Whoa! This way Shibuya my brother is driving us." Ken despite Yuuri's protests, much to Yuuri's displeasure, shoves him into the back of the car then climbs into the back with him. It wasn't long before they arrived at the baseball courts with little to no trouble, beside one or two slow drivers setting Ryuu off into a fit of rage, talk about scary road rage. Lucky Ken was able to calm him down before he could ram the drivers off the road.
Turning off the engine, Ryuu follows Murata and Yuuri as they leave the car, "Yuu-chan, can I talk to you for a few minutes." The boys look at each other, Yuuri mouthing 'Yuu-chan' to Ken who shrugs. Yuuri nods his head yes as Ken shoots his brother a look of surprise and confusion. Ryuu just waves his brother off after giving him a look that's says 'alone'. "See you on the field Shibuya," Ken calls running to the courts.
Ryuu leans against the front hood of his car, arms crossed as Yuuri stops in front of him. He's silent staring at Yuuri blankly for a few seconds, Yuuri squirming under his gaze. "How are you today Yuu-chan? You seemed overwhelmed yesterday. And I hope you found my card."
Yuuri gapes like fish at Ryuu, mouth opening and closing, little to no sound escaping his throat. Ryuu watches this in amusement. "Ye…yes! The…the card. I found the card…your card," Stutters Yuuri in surprise. Everything that happened yesterday between Ryuu and him came flooding back to him, making him gasp and look at Ryuu in shock. "You're a ma…ma…ma."
Ryuu smirks in extreme amusement, "Mazoku. Yes I am and so is Murata, but don't let him know I told you." He stands from his leaning position and looks at his watch. He sighs and walks around to the driver's side door, opening it but before he gets in he turns to Yuuri who's stood there spacing out. He calls Yuuri's name knocking Yuuri back to earth. Seeing he has Yuuri's attention he continues from earlier, "You do remember what I said yesterday right? How you can come to me if you need someone to talk too about the other world."
Yuuri nodes his head remembering exactly what Ryuu said even though he was very tired yesterday. He begins to smile, care and great fullness filling his soul, those emotions lighting up his eyes.
…FLASHBACK FROM YESTERDAY … (The song Inuyasha's lullaby in the background for this flashback; link at the bottom)
It was dark when Ryuu pulled up in front of Yuuri's house. He turned off the bike both sat there in silence, "So, how did you like being in Shin Makoku," Ryuu said breaking the silence. Yuuri whipped his head around from looking at his home to Ryuu, fearful shock pasted across his face.
Ryuu started to laugh loudly, arms wrapped around his waist as tears fell down his cheeks. As he Calms down Ryuu wiped his tears away and took a badly needed breathe,"Your face...It's ok, i already know about the other world. I haven't gone there mind you but i do know of it." Yuuri just continued to gape at him, wide eyed. "Really Yuuri it's ok, calm down. There's nothing to be scared of, I won't tell anyone."
At Ryuu's promise Yuuri slowly settled and breathed a sign of relief. "Why?" Is all Yuuri could think to ask,"Why won't you tell anyone? Anyone else would."
"Well, I'm a mazoku myself," Ryuu stated this as a well-known fact. Yuuri suddenly looked as if he was about to faint and began swaying, putting his head in his hands. Ryuu noticed the state Yuuri was in and quickly jumped off his bike, picks Yuuri up bridal style after he took off the helmet and carried him to the front door. Yuuri suddenly feels tired goes with it without protest, as the last few days to him, caught up with him.
Ryuu moved Yuuri, being careful not to drop him and knocked on the door, "We'll talk about it another time, just know if you ever need anyone to talk too, and I'll be there." He mumbled 'yes' before falling asleep.
…END OF FLASHBACK… (Music ends here)
Ryuu watches him, a caring brotherly smile spreading across his face, "Just ring that number on the card Yuu-chan, if and when you need me. It also works in the other world; now go practice starts in five." Ryuu climbs back into his car as Yuuri rushes to the courts, and then starts the engine, speeding out of the small car park and down the road heading into the middle of the city. Ryuu's eyes narrowed, he has some people he needs to see.
A black Audi S5 coupe is parked in the car park of the baseball courts, the song 'Bon Jovi - It's My Life' (4) blasting through the speakers of an I-pod on the dash board, then out the open driver's side window. Ryuu leaned on the hood of the car, head bobbing to the music with his eyes closed. Ryuu in a matter of seconds is on his feet, cane in his right hand and running towards the bath house where his brother and Yuuri bathing at the moment. "What! Why do I feel like something going to happen to Yuu-chan?"
Ryuu runs into the bath house just as Yuuri begins to be pulled into the water, the other world summoning him. Ken suddenly stands, butt naked, as his brother charges into the room and jumps into the water. He finally notices that something strange is happening to Yuuri. "Wha..?!" Is all Ken could stumble out.
Ryuu knee deep in water grabs Yuuri's hand he has sticking up in the air to pull him out, but only to get pulled into the water with him. Yuuri gazes up at Ryuu hopefully until he realizes that he is being pulled too, then whines helpless, "No! Not this again!" Disappearing under the water, through the tunnel and down into the black hole. Ryuu following as he hasn't let go of Yuuri's hand and amazingly his black cane with the sliver dragon-shaped head.
…The other world; somewhere in a richly decorated bath house…
Yuuri floats in the water and moans, "Not again." He stands up and looks around, water dripping down his slender frame and the steam covering his most private of areas. A groan from beside him catches his attention and makes him look down. Much to his surprise Ryuu is floating on his back with his eyes screwed shut and his arms out beside him; his clothes soaked through and cane lying at the bottom of the bath.
Yuuri quickly helps Ryuu to his feet by grabbing both shoulders, once on his feet Yuuri bends down and picks up Ryuu's cane handing it back to him. "Are you ok Murata-sempai?" Yuuri watches Ryuu in concern. Ryuu groans again and rubs his head while opening his eyes, those same eyes widening in shock. It instantly clicks in Ryuu's head as to where is, "I can't believe it! I'm really here…in Shin Makoku."
Ryuu gives a breathy laugh before groaning again, his head hurt something awful. "I'm fine Yuu-chan and call me Ryuu-kun; Murata-senpai makes me sound old. I'm only 20," He breathes with a slight smile. Looking at Yuuri a small blush covers his cheeks and turns his head away quickly. Yuuri stands there butt naked, feeling confused as to why Ryuu turned away so quickly. Just as he's about to ask he notices three people at the other end of the baths. The steam conceals their gender but Yuuri assumes they are women, as they all have different length of long hair.
"Wah! Is this a bath too?" His question catches their attention as they turns to face the pair. "One for women at that!" Yuuri nearly falls back into the water startled, if it wasn't for Ryuu catching him. The pair turn back to look at the people in front of them.
Yuuri rips himself away out of Ryuu's arm and holds his arms over his face, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" He panics and closes his eyes as he apologizes. Ryuu stands behind him a smile on his face, as he realizes they are men not women.
He lets out a chuckle as he looks around and takes in the details of the bath house, trying to ignore how his clothes stuck to him like a second skin and Yuuri's rant. "hmm...Considering how expensive everything looks and how big it is, we must have landed in the bath house of a lord of some kind," Mused Ryuu to himself. Ryuu's musing is interrupted by the men so he turns in time to see; as they jump on Yuuri and start rubbing their bodies on him, shouting 'Your majesty'.
"Ha! Looks like Yuu-chan has fan boys," He thinks laughing lightly into the closed fist of his left hand. Ryuu feels as if he's being watched so he turns to see one of the men, a good-looking ginger, staring at him in what he supposes is curiosity. Ryuu feeling uncomfortable pushes his sopping wet hair back, revealing his dark brown dragon-shaped birth mark on his left temple. The ginger let out of gasp of amazement, surprise and slight fear, the fear unnoticeable if you didn't know what to look for.
Running footsteps could be heard coming from behind Ryuu making his ears twitch, posture relax even more but ready to attack if needed and his eyes turning from warm to unforgiving black pits. Tightening his grip on top of his cane, he subtly moves his left hand and grips the middle of the cane ready to draw the hidden sword and looks out the corner of his eye. He sees two men running into the bath house, both at least 6'3 in height carrying swords. One has short brunette hair wearing all brown. The other has greyish, purple hair that ends at his arse, wearing all white. Between the two of them, he stands out more to Ryuu for reasons he can't explain.
The ginger watches Ryuu's reaction and tenses but makes no attempt to move, recognizing a soldier when he sees one. "Or in this case," He thinks, "I should say warrior….So the dragon warrior of Shin Makoku is back then….Things should start to get interesting around here." Relaxing the ginger shakes his head with a smile, laughing amusedly.
"Your majesty," Gunter cries out coming to a stop at the end of the baths, Conrad stopping beside him. "Your majesty! I have come to retrieve you." Gunter stands in shocked horror at the scene before him. Hearing his majesty's plea for help, Gunter squares his shoulders and commands the two naked males in front of him, "You people! Let him go."
They stop and turn to Gunter, "Hey is that Gunter-sama," One with long blonde hair asks the other with long pale, green hair excitedly, who nods yes. "His majesty is cute, but you're even more gorgeous," The blonde one exclaims. "I'm your fan." He then jumps off Yuuri and onto Gunter pulling him to the floor, the other following.
Conrad who has walked through the water to stand behind Yuuri, lifts him up to his feet, "Welcome back your majesty," Conrad greets with a smile. "Glad to be back," Yuuri sighs looking over his shoulder at Conrad.
"You don't have to call me that," He gives Conrad a look, to which Conrad only smiles brightly, "Very well, Yuuri." Yuuri suddenly remembers Ryuu and looks around for him, earning him an odd look from Conrad. He spots Ryuu with back facing them, Yuuri couldn't help feeling there is something wrong with him. He walks up to him, Conrad finally noticing Ryuu follows, and places a hand on Ryuu's right arm or cane arm.
Ryuu stiffens at the touch but relaxes once he realizes its Yuuri. Turning around his left hand goes back to his side and raises an eyebrow at Yuuri questioningly. He sees the brunette man standing behind Yuuri, looking at him in suspicion. Ryuu swaps his cane to his left hand, something he notices the man watch before looking back up again, leaning on it slightly and holds out his right hand to the man, chirping pleasantly, "I'm Murata Ryuu, older brother to Yuuri's friend. Nice to meet you Mr…."
Conrad is surprised to say the least as this man, Murata Ryuu, introduced himself. He looks him over noticing little things; 5'7 in height, posture suggests solider, no warrior but he's favors his right leg and has a cane. "Could be an old injury," He thinks. Black shoulder length hair, wavy even when wet and black eyes full of knowledge long pasted, but what shocks him more is his striking resembles to Rikiya, Shin Makoku's own dragon warrior. "Mr isn't needed. I'm Conrad Weller bodyguard to his majesty, Yuuri. Nice to meet you too Ryuu," He finally replies with a smile, shaking Ryuu's hand.
Yuuri smiles happily glad that his friends are getting along. The pleasantries are interrupted by Gunter calling for help from in-between the pair of rabid fan boys. "Shouldn't we help him?" Yuuri questions wincing, feeling sympathy for Gunter's situation.
Both Conrad and Ryuu look to Gunter, Conrad feeling nothing while Ryuu feels an unexplained tightening in his chest, as he watches the scene before him. "He was a worthy sacrifice," Conrad replies dully. "Since it's you, he will gladly do it."
Yuuri being dramatic as always shouts with a fist raised, "Thank you Gunter! I will never forget you." Ryuu just shakes his head at Yuuri. Both leave the massive bath house, Yuuri after getting dry puts on an outfit that looks like his black school uniform that Gunter made and brought for him, in case he needed it. Ryuu on the other hand just sighs and limps over to Gunter, cane tapping lightly along the white tiled floor. Bending down Ryuu grabs Gunter's collar and drags him up, through the water and out the bath house stopping next to Yuuri and Conrad, before he drops him onto the stone floor, ignoring the other two naked men's protests.
He watches as Gunter's breathing slows, ignoring the way his heart skips a beat and his breath catching in his throat, as the man looks up at him, showing off his handsome creamy pale face. "Are you ok now?" Ryuu feeling he should ask even though he does no why.
Gunter could feel his whole face starting to burn hot; his heart going so fast he's afraid it will break out of his chest, as he hears the slight monotone but silky smooth voice above him. . He lies on the ground where he was dropped and stares at Ryuu, like a love-struck school girl as she stares at her crush from afar. Gunter inhales deeply in wonder, a line of blood drips from his nose, down over his lips and ends at his chin, when he looks over the rest of a soaking wet Ryuu.
A thin jet black turtle-neck jumper hugs Ryuu's torso, like a second skin. A greyish-black leather waist coat with four buttons down the front covers his jumper. Jet black pants clinging slightly to his legs are tucked into a pair ofgreyish-black leather boots with three sliver buckles on the side. The only color he is wearing is a long Egyptian blue (5) trench coat, which falls to his ankles with three sliver buckles on the end of his sleeves. (Imagine Vergil's coat from Devil may cry, without the gold lining and white patterns on it) Lastly a blue crystal on a short sliver chain hangs from his neck. (6)
"Oh my! Such brilliance!" Gunter is on his feet in seconds, dark purple eyes big and sparkling and his hands against his tomato red blushing cheeks, body wriggling like a snake. "That wavy black hair and bottomless black eyes! Those clothes...Oh! I have died and gone to heaven! And you are my guiding angel." Blood begins to run out of both nostrils now and much more heavily, not that Gunter cares as he is too busy gushing and fantasying about Ryuu.
The man in question steps back, hiding slightly behind Conrad as he fears for his life and a little more than disturbed. "What!...What is that idiot going on about? That's just creepy!" Ryuu thinks growing irritated with the long haired man, though a small blush covers his cheeks. Thankfully Yuuri steps in as he has grown use to Gunter's random and creepily annoying rants.
"This place feels different. This isn't that other castle is it?" Yuuri questions as he looks around. They are in a huge corridor, the sealing being held up by rustic-gold Roman pillars. Anyone could clearly see outside into the court yard garden. Gunter abruptly stops ranting and wipes his nose on a handkerchief, which seemingly appears out of nowhere.
"You can tell the difference, your majesty." Gunter sighs happily, stuffing the now bloody handkerchief into his pocket. Ryuu steps out from behind Conrad, giving him a smile of thanks which Conrad returns as Gunter continues. "Your sharpness is most admirable!"
They begin walking down the corridor to god knows where, Yuuri in the middle with Conrad on his left and Gunter on his right. Ryuu hung back a little behind them to look around, ears still in tune to the conversation as Gunter tells them about the castle. "Built in the west of Shin Makoku, the Voltaire Castle." Of course being Yuuri he has to question everything, even though it's a good thing sometimes it can get really annoying.
"Voltaire," Yuuri has the most adorable expression of confusion on his face, making Ryuu want to hug him tightly but he held back. "You mean this is Gwendel's castle?"
Conrad nods his head with a smile, "Does he ever stop smiling? And who the hell is Gwendal and the creepy pervert?" (Can you guess who lol) Ryuu thought his eyebrows draw together in frustration at his lack of information.
"That right," Conrad replies to Yuuri's question, calm as ever.
…In an office/library…
The room is decorated out of chocolate brown wood panelling. Two rich red sofas with golden lining sit on the opposite sides of the room facing each other, big arched windows high above them and a tall potted tree-like plant next to them. The light streams into the room hitting the two tall bookcases, filled to the brim with books, which stand on either side of a desk the same colour as the panelling. At the desk sits an annoyed Yuuri, piles upon piles of papers covering one side of the desk. Ryuu sitting on one of the sofas watches the scene, amusement colouring his pale face and a small smirk gracing his lips.
"Papers that need your signature have piled up, your majesty." That Ryuu now knew as Gunter informs Yuuri as he stands in front of the desk, the tall chair at which Yuuri sits on hiding Conrad, who's leaning on the wall behind Yuuri, slightly out of sight. An apologetic look appears on his face, "It wasn't my place to do so, but I went through and sorted them out."
"Poor Yuuri looks tired already and he hasn't even started," Ryuu could feel his sadistic side loving Yuuri's torment, but couldn't help feeling pity for him.
"There are this many?" Yuuri could feel his hand already cramping just looking at the paper piles. Gunter took it on himself to explain what the papers are, as if it would motivate Yuuri into signing them. "Reports on the tax distribution, permission to build dikes for the river…"
Yuuri quickly interrupts him before he could say anymore, "Besides me, there must be someone better suited for this." The look on Yuuri's face says desperation with a hint of child-like annoyance, "You sign these!"
"What are you saying?" Gunter leans forward and slaps his hands on the desk, wearing the look a scolding parent would wear when telling off their child. "Although I will assist you in becoming use to the responsibilities of a king, you will eventually need to make decisions on your own, as this country's leader."
Leaning back slightly in the chair, Yuuri protests, "Ehh! But I'm not that smart." At this point Ryuu gets up from the sofa and limps over to Yuuri, his cane making the normal tapping sounds. Once beside Yuuri he hits him upside the head, sighing in annoyance. Gunter and Conrad watch on; one in shock the other with an understanding smile as Yuuri yelps and winces, touching his throbbing head.
"Yuu-chan! Stop acting childish. You are a king now; you have a responsibility to the mazoku of Shin Makoku!" He scolds but sighs at Yuuri's blank expression and tries to explain to in a term Yuuri would understand. The word baseball suddenly pops up in his head; a smile breaks out on his face.
"Think of it this way Yuu-chan; this kingdom is baseball and the mazoku are your team. Now what would you do?" Yuuri sits there in silence; hand on chin with a concentrating look on his face. Yuuri nods to himself once or twice, mumbling under his breath. Its five minutes later that understanding lights up Yuuri's face and looks to Ryuu in amazement.
"I would make sure my team has everything they need and the right training, so they could play safely and know I care about them." Yuuri answers, pausing to watch Ryuu smile that genuine rare smile as his.
"So what you're saying is; when I sign these papers I'm keeping them and the kingdom safe, as well as letting them know I care about them and their freedom." Ryuu just pats Yuuri on the head and sits back down on the sofa, leaning his cane against his right leg. Conrad smiles in silent amazement, while Gunter openly gapes at him.
"Brilliant! He's….there is no words to describe him; oh be still my beating heart," Gunter thinks as he sighs lovingly, a deep red blush on his cheeks as he stares at Ryuu with glazed over eyes. Not seeing the small blush appear on Ryuu face from Gunter's staring, or the irritated gleam in his eyes.
Conrad smiles knowingly at the pair before coughing, "Gunter he needs to know why he was summoned here." Gunter shakes his head and turns back to Yuuri.
"Your majesty, this is sudden, but there is an urgent matter that we need to discuss." The serious expression on Gunter's face set Yuuri slightly on edge. He wiggles in the chair waiting for Gunter to continue, "What?" Even Ryuu looks on curiously.
"The humans are getting restless…Fighting is inevitable," He states coolly but sadly. "Please think about preparing for battle."
Ryuu sits rigidly in his seat, a serious expression on his face but worry for Yuuri in his eyes. Ryuu hates the idea of war, let along Yuuri being in the middle of it and the main target. "No! I won't let them do that to him! I'll die to protect Yuu-chan if I have to!" He huffs at the thought.
Angrily Yuuri slams his hands on the desk as he jumps up from the chair, the paper piles shake unsteadily. "I told you, I won't resort to war," He snaps scowling, "When I became the maoh, that's what I decided!"
"But, your majesty, what do we do if they attack us?" Gunter sighs sympathetically, hating how he might have to go against his majesty's ideals. "Do we surrender without lifting a finger?"
"No matter what, there will be no war." Conrad watches sadly as Yuuri huffs, slumping in the chair with his eyes closed before saying determinedly, "I won't sign anything to do with fighting."
It suddenly dawns on Yuuri that he didn't known in what context, Gunter means by 'restless'. "And what do you mean restless? You need to speak clearly." Opening his eyes he looks at Ryuu first wondering why he was so quiet, well quieter than normal, then looks to Gunter.
Everyone turns to the doors as they open to revel, Gwendal with his normal scowl, "The enemy has begun to hire those who can cast spells," Grunts Gwendal addressing the room. There is pride evident in his tone along with irritation at what he says next, "The humans need spell casters if they intend to match us in battle."
Ryuu frowns at the man who just entered. He's dressed all in green with a sword at his side; waist length greyish-black hair is pulled back into a ponytail, bangs falling on either side of his tanned face. "This must be Gwendal." He thought just as he hears Gwendal complain about, not giving Yuuri permission to enter his castle. "I'm right, it's Gwendal."
"He shouldn't need your permission. He's your king," Ryuu couldn't stop the comment from passing his lips. The look on his face says it all 'oops'. His face quickly turns blank seeing Gwendal jump then turn to him.
Gwendal as much as he hates to admit it, jumps at the unknown and unsuspected voice coming from beside him. Spinning around quickly towards the voice; his hand on his sword ready to draw it. He freezes in shock at the sight of Ryuu. There sitting casually with his left leg crossed over his right, a blank expression on his face, is a handsome man. "Another double black," He thought to himself, shock his main emotion.
Ryuu tenses watching Gwendal until a very girlish-looking yellow-blonde haired boy runs into the room, an angry expression on his pale face and heading straight for Yuuri, a gleam in his eyes. "Yuuri,"The boy all but shouts angrily.
Ryuu reaction is instant, he's up off the sofa and in front of Yuuri; right arm holding the hidden sword drawn from his cane (7) and the tip pointing at the yellow-blonde boy's throat, before anyone knew what is happening. The only indication he moved when he was running, was the cold draft that brushed Gwendal and Gunter as he passed them. "Stop," Is the only word Ryuu utters the cold sharpness of his tone brushing icy fear down the boy's spine, making him jerk to a stop. Or its Ryuu's black eyes gleaming, practically oozing dark intentions he will do to the boy should he come closer.
Everyone is shocked into silence; tension so thick you could cut it with an axe and it wouldn't even dent it. Conrad has stood tense with his hand on the handle of his sword, looking from Ryuu to Wolfram who he could see is starting to get frustrated. Gwendal and Gunter follow Conrad's actions. It's Yuuri who breaks the silence by placing a hand on Ryuu's arm holding the sword and lowering it slowly, Yuuri himself is strangely calm. "Put the sword down! He's not going to hurt me, right Wolfram?" Yuuri directs the last bit at Wolfram who nods yes quickly.
Ryuu slides the blade back into the cane which he leans on; rubbing the back of his head, a sheepish smile on his face Ryuu laughs nervously. "So sorry, I thought you were going to hurt Yuu-chan. I'm quite protective of him." The tension in the room disappears instantly, all three men relaxing. Wolfram explodes in a fit of jealous rage.
"YOU WHIMP! HOW DARE YOU CHEAT ON ME A…AN…AND WITH HIM!" Fire dances in Wolframs emerald green eyes, his wavy yellow-blonde hair falling in front of his eyes and his hands clenching into fists at his side. "IT'S ME WOLFRAM, WHO IS YOUR FIANCE…NOT HIM!"
Ryuu slowly shuffles back around the desk and stands next to Gunter, watching as Yuuri tries to calm Wolfram down. "Does that normally happen?" Ryuu sees Gunter nod his head 'yes' out of the corner of his eye. Gwendal clearly irritated clears his throat loudly. Everyone including Wolfram and Yuuri stop and look to him. "Onto more pressing matters and that's the humans." Gwendal takes of map from his pocket, walks to the desk and rolls it out over the top of it. Everyone crowds round the desk to look.
"It's Cabalcade," He states his hands hold the map down, stopping it from roll back in on its self. "It can't be….!" Gunter is too shocked to finish.
Gwendal nods gravely, "Cabalcade disguised himself as a Sondar guard and distributed the money." He looks to Gunter who frowns, his eyes dimming at the news. "You don't believe my information?" Gwendal accuses.
Gunter looks down and signs, "No. If that's what you say then, I believe you." He looks back up face grim. Conrad steps forward interrupting them; hating the fact they ignored Yuuri, right in front of both Yuuri and him. "Hey! You two…"
He is then interrupted by Ryuu who has something to say, "Isn't it your duty to report to your king first?" That catches the pair's attention. Gunter has the decency to say sorry while Gwendal just has to make a cold comment. "I'm sure the kids have their own things to talk about." He huffs in annoyance at being stopped again.
Yuuri stands looking annoyed, "You know, even if you're talking about serious stuff, I won't allow war!" He stares Gwendal down, well ties too, and loses.
Gwendal's frown deepens as he almost growls, "Then what do you propose we do, your majesty?" Yuuri's responses is instant, "We talk it over first!" Everyone in the room including Ryuu looks at Yuuri like he's an idiot. He's not but he has his moments that make you think twice.
"This might just be a misunderstanding!" He exclaims then adds as an afterthought, to which Ryuu just shakes his head and sweat drops. Conrad on the other hand smiles with Wolfram and Gunter, all amused by Yuuri's careless comment. "They probably rejected your offer because you always have that scary face on."
Gwendal in the struggle not to kill Yuuri, ends up calling out to Conrad; hands moving in what looks like the motions of knitting, "His majesty seems tired. Take him to his room." Gwendal in the desperate need to knit something goes to leave, "Ahh! Knitting always calms me."
"Hey! Wait," Yuuri calls as he jumps up from the chair, runs around the desk including Gunter, Wolfram and Ryuu and follows Gwendal to the door. "I'm not done talking to you!" Gunter and Wolfram call out in concern for his well-being. "Wait!"
Gwendal grunts ignoring him and continues walking, his face twitching lightly. Ryuu seems to be the only one who notices the long pinkish-red haired, blue eyed women, with her hair in a high ponytail standing in the door way. "Eh! Who could that be? She's very beautiful for a woman," Ryuu thinks as he looks around to see if anyone else sees her.
Ryuu sees Gwendal freeze and stiffen when she calls his name. "Is he scared of her?" Ryuu's own thought amuses him. He looks and sees everyone else has frozen too. Gunter and Wolfram hang off Yuuri while Conrad just looks on. "Is she…sparkling? She looks so excited but about what?" He thinks and looks around again, "Judging by everyone's faces, that's not a good thing."
"Gwendal, I've invented a new magical device!" She cheers gleefully. "Will you help me test it?" Ryuu doesn't look up at Conrad as he nudges him in the leg lightly, with his cane.
"Who is that? And why does everyone look so scared of her?" Conrad huffs a laugh into the closed fist of his left hand, "That is Anissina von Karbelnikoff an inventor and Gwendal's childhood friend."
"Every time she invents something new, she seeks out any of those three, most Gwendal and Gunter, to test it on. It never ends well for them, I hear." Conrad chuckles again, Ryuu following with his own.
Ryuu vaguely hears her complain about 'getting rowdy and dust everywhere' as he's lost in thought. "I have to make sure not to run into her then while I'm here. How?"
…In a dining room…
Wolfram, Gunter, Ryuu, Yuuri and Conrad are all sitting at the dining table in that order; Anissina standing in front of them, having met Ryuu in the office while Gwendal ran off somewhere.
"Hello again your majesty. The last time was at the ceremony," Anissina chirps. "I'm of a lower rank among the royal nobles, so I couldn't speak with you directly." She pauses briefly and smiles, "I'm Lady Anissina von Karbelnikoff."
Yuuri blinks at her hesitantly replying, "Nice to meet you." Ryuu by this time blocks everything out as he thinks of his brother, hoping he is ok. Ryuu is so into his thoughts of his brother, that even the strange breeze coming out of nowhere doesn't disturb him. When they start to leave he follows Yuuri back to the office/library still in thought, managing to avoid walking into things. Vaguely hearing Conrad and Yuuri's heart to heart about not being useless, to which Ryuu hit Yuuri upside the head out of reflex for his depressive way of thinking.
…In Gwendal's office …
All seven of them are standing in Gwendal's office, beside Gwendal who is seated behind a desk doing paperwork. Yuuri jumps right in it, "I want your opinion on what we can do other than starting a war."
A shocked silence covers the room. "Are you asking as the maoh?" Gwendal finally asks still not looking up at Yuuri, who's standing in front of the desk.
"That's right! I know you want to protect this country as much as I do!" Gwendal just grunts at him and when Yuuri goes to say something in retaliation, Conrad stops him.
"It's not that I don't have a plan…" Gwendal trails off before stating clearly, "We just need to make the humans not want to attack us." He finishes then calls to Gunter.
Ryuu tunes back in as the words 'legendary' and 'weapon' are said. He looks to Gunter in interest. "There is a legendary weapon held by the mazoku, which only the maoh can use," Gunter explains.
"It is an ultimate weapon that could destroy everything in this world." Ryuu frowns in concern and slight amazement, wondering if they should being messing around with that type of weapon. "Its name is…Morgif." Ryuu nearly chocks as a laugh catches in his throat, at the name.
"Eh! Merugibu?" Asks Yuuri in confusion, Ryuu breathing properly again clears his throat. "No Yuu-chan Morgif" Gunter nods his head in thanks to Ryuu before explain the history of Morgif.
"It was last used eight moahs ago. Since then, its location has been unknown but…" He is interrupted by Yuuri and Wolfram. Yuuri is excited to know it has been found.
"If the ultimate weapon is returned to the moah, the other nations will think twice about attacking us," Wolfram summaries with pride coloring his tone, along with slight greed.
Of course Yuuri wants to know where it is, anything to prevent war is good in his book, and to go get it straight away. "Far away, across the ocean, on a land called Bandarbia," Gunter says to Yuuri.
Suddenly Gunter starts to fret, "But to take his majesty to such a place…" Conrad stops Gunter before he could start ranting, "However Morgif can only be handled by the maoh." Gunter sighs worriedly.
Ryuu raises one eyebrow as Yuuri starts ranting excitedly about different swords, half of which he has never heard of, and defeating monster bosses. Ryuu chuckles sadistically under his breath at Yuuri's horror, when they tell him it's a demon sword not a holy sword. "kufufufu! Oh, the look of horror looks is so cute on Yuuri," He thinks to himself.
