A/N: *sighs* I know no amount of apologies would make it up for the seriously long update. Someone actually e-mailed me if I'm still alive and yes, I am actually still alive. Life isn't good to me the past years though but it got better last year and now I'm back to school to finish my major, hopefully, it would continue to be so. Cheers to you guys!
CHAPTER IX:
It had been an exhausting day, a very exhausting day indeed. What with all those girls always attacking him just to get information on his fia—err—I mean on Wolfram, yeah, on Wolfram.
Yuuri frowned, 'Why hadn't he been around lately?' he thought. He had been used to the blonde coming over their house and accompanying him to school but lately he had not even had a glimpse of him.
Yuuri is still thinking of this one when he got home but suddenly became aware of a car outside.
"—his memory back. It is very vital if the elves had involved themselves." This came from a bespectacled stranger who is about his age.
The said stranger along with his mother and aunt were sitting together with Cheri-sama while Wolfrom stood behind them. Conrad and Gwendal were standing near the window while Gunter kept pacing around.
Yuuri was standing in the already open doorway, the reason no one noticed his presence. However, a clattering from the kitchen ruined his silent entrance.
"YUURI!" Shouted a girl running towards him. This abruptly stopped the conversation and the pacing of Gunter to turn to his direction.
Yuuri smiled at Greta and welcomed her in an embrace. He was about to ask what they are doing there when a redheaded woman came to view from the kitchen doorway.
"Heika, it's a pleasure to meet you again. My name is Annisina*, I am from Shin Makoku as well." She introduced with a smile.
"Uh,yeah... nice to meet you too." He really didn't know what to say so he just settled on the pleasantries.
The bespectacled boy cleared his throat, he looked familiar to him but he couldn't place it in his mind.
"Shibuya Yuuri," he first acknowledged, "I'm Murata Ken, we've been classmates on some subjects and you also saved me once from the bullies in the park." He then flashed a smile that somewhat unnerve Yuuri.
"I—err—I really—uhm-"
"Yes I fully understand your situation that's why I'm here to help." Yuuri frowned a bit.
"Oh so you know about Shin Makoku and stuff." He asked rather stupidly because he didn't have anything else to say.
He heard a Wolfram muttered something like "Henachoko!" making him cringe a bit.
"Yes, I'm here to ask about your dream regarding the elves."
Yuuri mouthed an "o" before nodding and settling himself on the sofa while Greta is being ushered again to the kitchen by the redheaded woman.

"High Seer…" The messenger elf called.
"Ahh Elka… How was your trip?"
"I already delivered your message to the Maou through his dreams but I think he have some problems because he seemed distracted."
The High Seer's brow went up in question.
"He trusted me immediately, High Seer and I actually prepared myself to be thrown away especially that I'm from the light elves."
The High Seer just smiled at that,
"Of course, that's why he is different from the other Maou. If I am correct, the demon race and even the humans are already very fond of him."
"Humans? But I thought…"
"Elka, there are many happenings that could only be explained when it is the time to be explained. I cannot interfere with Fate."
"Of course, High Seer. I will then take my leave now."
"Yes of course, I will be in touch if I would be in need of your service again."
The messenger elf bowed and walked towards the door but before he can descend the stairs, the High Seer stopped him,
"Ah Elka before I forgot, keep this from everyone."
Elka looked at the High Seer but was interrupted,
"Yes, even from the King." And with that, Elka took his leave without further questions.

Yuuri watched and listened to the conversations between the people from Shin Makoku. He had told them every detail of his dream and they are now contemplating on what could have caused the Elves to appear suddenly.
"What I am wondering though is why they've given him their message through dreams and not talk to him directly." This was from Wolfram.
"It must be that they knew of his situation that is why they had contacted the Maou through Shibuya-kun's dream." Murata said but a frown is visible on his expression.
Suddenly Yuuri felt nauseous, his surrounding starting to swirl. He tried to stand up only to stagger and before he knew it, he was falling down and everything went black.
"Yuuri!" Wolfram dashed towards Yuuri but Cheri already managed to catch him preventing any nasty contusions.
Conrad went towards his mother and lifted Yuuri off her arms before settling him to the couch vacated by Yuki and Jennifer who both have worried expressions.
"This is what I'm worried about." Murata suddenly said with a deep frown.
"Ken-chan, what do you mean?" Jennifer asked the Daikenja.
"The Maou had been awakened and is trying to resurface but because Yuuri had forgotten his existence, his body is trying to fight it even though his soul recognizes the presence." Murata looked up at the puzzled expression of the two women in front of him before proceeding to explain further.
"You see, even though a person forgets his past, his soul still holds the memory but because our soul is not directly attached to our brain it couldn't help the person from remembering it, instead, his soul will try and inject this memory on other parts of his mind such as dream which eventually will cause confusion or worse it can push this person to dementia unless he gets proper help." **
Yuki covered her mouth while Jennifer fought the tears that are threatening to fall. She then swallowed a lump on her throat,
"What do you mean "proper help"?"
"The elves for one, but I think it's not a good idea asking them right now. They will view Yuuri as a weak Maou and there is a probability they will withdraw their help and we cannot risk that if other forces indeed are trying to war with us." He sighed yet again.
"But-but what about Yuu-chan? Surely there's something that we can do to help him."
"Indeed, but if only we can identify or know what had caused him to lose his memory."
"Daikenja, isn't it that the elves have their Seers? They could have known Heika's situation before hand and that they probably know what had caused it." Gunter stopped from his pacing and faced Murata.
"Yes they do have their Seers." He paused contemplating before continuing, "Maybe the reason they talked to the Maou in Yuuri's dream is to awaken him. However, as you've said, they might have seen all of this but they still offered their help on the war."
"Then why are they not helping us? They should've just tell us what wrong with Yuuri so we can start preparing for this war they are telling us!." Wolfram suddenly burst from where he is standing.
"Elves are peaceful and fair creatures, they probably offered their help because they saw some conspiracy involving their race that doesn't suit their laws however they will not help us on Yuuri's case because they see it as our own responsibility." Gwendal said while Murata nodded at this.

Yuuri opened his eyes only to close it again from the sudden glare of the light. He heard voices around him so he tried to move his body but a sudden pain shoots to his head making him cringe and moan in pain.
"Yuuri? Yuuri are you awake?" He heard his mother call just above him.
He just grunted a response because the pain is still lingering on his head making it somewhat painful to move his body or even speak up.
The next moment, he felt a calloused hand ghost over his forehead almost lovingly,
"Does your head hurt?" He recognized the whispered voice as Wolfram; he nodded to him making him wince because it somehow triggers another shooting pain.
Wolfram softly started caressing his hair making him relax, the pain somehow ebbing away.
"Yuuri, is it okay if they carry you to your room so that you'll be more comfortable?" His mother asked him gently.
Yuuri tried opening his mouth to respond discovering that the pain is slowly disappearing.
"I'm okay besides the pain is subsiding. What happened anyway?" He then opened his eyes catching the worried look that was exchange in the room.
