"They don't love us!"
"Look at their faces, it's obviously feelings of hate!"
"My life is spiraling down a dark abyss!"
"Why don't they love us?"
The girls wailed in unison. Hands were flailing while knees collided with the floor beneath them. Who thought that twenty-six (Yuri counted) fan girls/temple maidens on emotional overdrive would be this much of a disaster? Murata. You could have at least told us! I'll get you back!
"Hey Yuri, I have an idea…" Wolfram whispered a little loudly so that Yuri could hear him over the screams.
"I'm all ears."
"Go along with it, okay? You have to promise."
"Wait. What are you plan-"
"You have to promise! Now, do you want to stay with these girls, or get out of here?"
Yuri noticed how the girls' cries started to die down and how the gleam in their eyes from before started to reappear. How bipolar can girls get? "Okay, okay! I promise! Now what?"
Wolfram stepped forward towards the maidens, but still faced Yuri. He spoke in a much louder voice as he heavily acted. "What? You love me Yuri?" Heads of maidens snapped in the direction of the boys. Their whimpers and cries stopped so they could hear every little thing.
"EH?"
Wolfram gave him a quick glare before continuing. "I can't believe you declared your love for me… in public!" Wolfram put on a fake blush as he brought up a dainty hand to his cheek. Clearly in shocked embarrassment
"I.. uh…" Glare number two. "Oh, yes… I did!" Muffled fan girl cheers were heard through the girls' hands as their faces started to get redder and redder.
The blonde prince lifted the hand that was on his cheek to his forehead, touching it with his wrist in a dramatic fashion. "Oh, but I am too embarrassed by your confession to ask The Great One for permission!" He took a quick glance at Yuri to see if he got it. The boy was a lost cause. "Judging by your reddened face, you must be too embarrassed too! Oh, woe is us. Who would be so kind as to track down The Great Sage and The Great One to help us with our problem?"
"WE WILL!"
"I WANT TO HELP THE PRETTY BOYS."
"Look! Their faces ARE red!"
"GAH. THEY SO CUTE."
"LET'S GO GET THE GREAT ONE AND THE GREAT SAGE!" And with that, the girls disappeared through the entrance of the temple.
Wolfram turned towards Yuri. The double-black had a slightly confused expression on his face as to what to do next. "Come on! Would you like to wait until the girls change their minds?"
Yuri looked as if he was going to protest but then turned to the temple. Murata was going to be quite angry later. After mumbling something like "he deserved it", the Yuri ran with Wolfram towards the castle. "Wait, Wolf! Why are we going to the castle? We only just escaped!"
"Well, where else can we go in pajamas and no disguise for you? If we go to town, the people would instantly realize you're the king by your eyes and hair."
"…true." Smooth, Yuri.
Wolfram huffed and reached out to take the other's hand. "We'll just have to sneak in and hopefully not get caught." He pulled the reluctant other into the gates of Blood Pledge Castle.
It was quiet. Too quiet.
They hurried and reached the main doors. The boys looked out each other and mouthed a '1... 2... 3...' and creaked open the door. Again, too quiet for comfort. "What the? Where is everyone?" Wolfram put his hands on his hips to indicate how mad he was with the lack of attention.
"Wolfram! Do you want those psychopathic women to hear you?" Yuri asked while crouching down and hiding his face. Maybe they wouldn't see him if he did that in the middle of the hallway.
"Oh, there you are!" A voice was heard to the right of the pair.
The great king yelped and hid behind Wolfram like a scared puppy.
"I'm glad your safe, Your Majesty, Wolfram."
Yuri came out of his hiding and started to correct the man in front of him out of habit. "Call me Yu- wait, Conrad?"
The brunette smiled his trademark smile. "So it would seem."
"But where's Mother and Anissina and everyone else?" Wolfram cut the small conversation to get down to the problem at hand.
"They seem to have calmed down a bit. It's towards the end of their.. cycle. Right now, Dacauscas and some other men are accompanying them to the shops. Apparently, Mother just had to find a wig for the bald soldier. Also, the rest of the workers are cleaning up the messes that were made in the rampage. The wall is fixed, but the dinning hall still needs many repairs. You were gone a long time. I'm guessing you visited your family." Conrad held in his laugh. The boys before him in matching clothing was adorable. It was difficult, but Conrad didn't make a lame pun about them.
A sweat-drop appeared above Yuri's head as he chuckled nervously. Memories of their fun trip played through his mind. "Y-yeah. They were very… happy to see us."
"Telling by your faces, it must've been an adventure."
~*Twenty minutes of small talk later*~
The three men were startled when the doors of the entrance of the castle slammed open. It turned out to only be Cecile, Anissina, and five soldiers carrying way too many bags filled to the brims of clothing and other girly things. One soldier wore a long black wig that complimented his face perfectly. Cecile glomped the king in front of her, disregarding the one bag she actually carried. "Oh, Your Highness! Look what we found in town!" She backed up a bit to show him the paper in her hand. It had a picture of Wolfram and Yuri dressed up in their dresses that they were forced into at the beginning of their nightmare.
Ripping the paper out of his mother's hand and examining it, Wolfram managed to squeak out a, "Where did you get this?"
Cecile grabbed back the picture and held it close to her bosom. "There were many like these all over the place! Some even had you two in a different outfit. If I recall, it had you dressed in a small skirt and a long blonde wig, Yuri. It was absolutely adorable! Oh, and Wolfie!" She attacked her son in a motherly hug. "You looked extremely cute in the similar outfit you had on! I'm so glad I picked up enough different shots of you two! So many people were scrambling for them. They must think you boys are extremely cute too!"
"Wait, THERE'S MORE?" The pair yelled simultaneously.
The former queen nodded and stepped back from her youngest son. She proceeded to get the bag that she had held and dug through it. After dumping out a few make-up items, she took out over thirty pictures that had the boys dressed in the embarrassing costumes. None of them showed Murata.
The embarrassed blonde bolted out of the castle with a worried Yuri following him. "I'M GOING TO KILL HIM." Wolfram's hand was starting to spark flames.
"I'm mad too, but you can't kill him! And I thought we got rid of those photos!" Yuri just ran after the other in hope that Murata wouldn't die… maybe he'd be terribly injured, but not die.
"Do you think that was too evil?" Murata mused as he looked into Shinou's crystal ball at the never-ending pictures that were flying through the town.
The blonde man beside him, who also gazed at the ball, shrugged. "Since when have you concerned yourself with those types of thoughts?"
The double-black smirked as his glasses glinted. "True. The concern I have, though, is what you're planning on doing with the photos of me you managed to get your greedy hands on."
Shinou held the pictures in question behind his back and replied in a sing-song voice "I think I'll hold onto these for a little while. Wouldn't want to waste such precious art~."
All in all, their 'adventure', as Conrad put it, went well.
No death,
"Perverted Sage, GET BACK HERE!"
Ideas,
"Next, I think I want Yuu-chan and Wolf-chan in fluffy bunny suits, ne? Sho-chan?"
And fond memories.
"I think I'll hang this one in your room and this one in mine- OH! AND THESE TWO IN THE KITCHEN!"
"Mother!"
Indeed. This adventure would never be forgotten by the three boys, Shori, Jennifer, Cecile, Anissina, Conrad, Shinou, Dorcas, or even the temple maidens (especially since Shinou gladly accepted Yuri's confession).
=^THE END^=
