Part 9: Back to the Beginning Part 2

"I suggest you get out of the way heika, I really don't want to hurt you."

"What are you doing here, Soushu?" Yuri demanded of the figure before him. Soushu just stared expressionlessly.

"I'm here because of him. It seems you figured out that he didn't die."

Yuri stopped to think after that statement. Wolfram isn't dead? Was the thought that ran through his head. Yuri didn't want to believe it for it might give him some false hope. He saw Wolfram die right in front of him.

"You don't believe me. Then I will prove it."

Satichko rushed through the halls of Blood Pledge Castle. The guards were puzzled at the scene but thought nothing of it. Lievin was right behind her yelling at her to go back in the room to rest since she had wasted a lot of energy.

"Great Sage!" she called out looking for Murata. It was just the right time as Murata suddenly came out from around the corner.

"Lady Satichko, what is it?" he asked with a hint of suspicion. She grabbed his hand making him run with her from what he would assume is the shrine.

"There's a disturbance at the shrine."

Now it was Murata who ran on ahead with her running after him. He told her to stay in the castle but she would not listen and still went on after him. Lievin following behind them. They made it to the shrine to find Yuri and Soushu inside. Yuri stood defensively in front of Wolfram's body, while Soushu was ready to release a dark arrow through him. Soushu slightly turned his head to see them.

"Soushu what are you doing?" Satichko asked having an idea on what he would be doing.

"I'm sure you know what I'm doing, Dear. How else can I get what I want?" he said. He aimed pointing it at Yuri. "Say bye to your husband Heika, he'll be dead once this hits him."

Yuri growled angrily, his aura flared.

Soushu fired.

A white arrow aimed for the same target.

Gwendal, Gunter, and Conrad arrived in time to see the results. Murata and Yuri stood in shock at the scene before them and turned to the person who fired the white arrow.

Lievin held his position as a single tear fell from his eye. His hands were shaking in shock, nervousness, sadness? He didn't know. No one knew.

-X-

Satichko lunged in front of Yuri and caught the dark arrow about to hit him. She quickly propelled herself towards Soushu and impaled him with the dark arrow. She didn't smile. She didn't jump for joy. She cried instead at what she had just done. She hated how Soushu just smiled at her, not mockingly, but a genuine smile.

"I guess you caught me first," Soushu said wistfully. His hands wrapped around hers that still held the arrow in place. She winced in pain as an arrow pierced her too. Satichko dropped to her knees in front of Soushu. She smiled. Her hand cupped his face.

"Finally, beloved when we meet again and under different circumstances. My heart will always be yours," Satichko said. Soushu held her hand.

"I'll find you again." He responded back.

They began to disintegrate. The audience watched as they disappeared holding each other.

It was then that green eyes revealed themselves.

-X-

"So this whole ordeal was a plan?" Yuri asked not believing it for a second as they listened to Lievin's story. Lievin sighed glancing at the occupants and nodded.

"Yes, mother and father had been at it for centuries. They knew that they could not kill each other because they were cursed by their own friends. They were cursed to live forever watching as they themselves stayed still and the world moved on without them. When my mother found out about me and told my father, they had to find a way to end it. The only way for them to do it was to kill each other but both my mother and father had different views on how to do it.

"They fought each other constantly. Finally when I turned ten my mother took me and ran. As I was growing up with her she taught me many things and to harness the power that I had that was passed to me. When I stopped aging… she forced me to promise her that if father didn't kill her, I was to do it." Lievin explained. He just couldn't believe his own story.

"She had failed for centuries as did father, we thought that it would end when Shinou had defeated a part of him but that had failed too. Then Cheri came to her for a wish. Mother stifled through the possibilities of the future and granted Cheri's wish. The reason for her visit was to find an heir to inherit her powers. Father already gave them to me a long time ago when he visited, so I was out of the question. It is why she chose Wolfram. He was the one she knew would be capable to handle it.

"Now since they are both gone, I will continue where I left off and age."

"When did you stop aging?" Murata asked curiously. To them he looked no older than about twenty.

"One hundred." He responded. "I'm four hundred sixty five currently."

They all gasped in response. It was as if he was a full-blooded Mazoku but to live that long?

"I'm not a Mazoku but a human. My magic keeps me from looking older and dying for a while. Where I come from we live as long as our magic can sustain us."

"Will it be the same for Wolfram?" Yuri asked.

"No. His lifespan is still that of a Mazoku. It has not changed. Except when he reaches a certain age he will not age, but he does need to find an heir to inherit it."

Wolfram, having woken from his induced dead state, listened to the story intently outside the door. He knew what was going on, he didn't want it to happen but he knew that Satichko was suffering. Being a new friend, she had asked him to help her end her suffering. Being a good friend he did what she asked. He was sad to see her go especially someone that understood him better than most people.

His hand subconsciously rested on his stomach. At least he knew that she would live anew. He jumped in surprise as the door opened the one right next to him. He saw that it was Yuri that walked out, he quickly turned and began to walk, but stopped as a hand grasped his wrist. He turned and green eyes met black.

"We need to talk," Yuri stated seriously. He walked the opposite direction and still held Wolfram incase the blond would bolt. Wolfram did not protest, as much as he wanted to. He was told to let Yuri talk and then he would never be bothered again, he was wrong…

Wolfram saw where they were headed, towards the room that they used to share. He did not like where this was going. Yuri quickly maneuvered him into the room and rested his forehead against the closed door, taking shallow breaths, thinking about what he was going to say. He turned around and walked passed Wolfram to the table. There sat a piece of paper. Wolfram did not know what this was about so he was clueless to say anything in case it might ruin his chance.

"Don't you know, technically we are still married," Yuri said, not bothering to turn around to look at him. "We aren't officially divorced unless I sign it."

Wolfram wondered why he was bringing it up right now when this was done a while ago.

"I know you placed this among the papers to approve a few months ago, I'm sorry that I'm only responding to it now, but I just didn't know what to say just that…

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the insensitive things that I've done to you. I'm sorry for ignoring you and not treating you the way you should be treated." Yuri turned around and held the paper up. Wolfram recognized it as the divorce papers. He thought that Yuri would sign it without knowing since he just signs. Plus he didn't think Yuri paid attention to the customs of same sex marriages.

Wolfram watched in shock as Yuri tore up the divorce paper he had put up. He was also surprised at the fact Yuri was on his knees, grasping his hand and begging for something, he could not comprehend because his mind was in overload at the moment. He stared down at Yuri's kneeling form asking for his forgiveness over and over again. Wolfram had this talk with Satichko before she died about him and Yuri. The conversation replayed in his mind.

-X-

Wolfram watched as Satichko shuffled these things called 'tarot cards'. She said that it was from Earth where Yuri was from. Wolfram was curious. She said it told fortunes with plenty of outcomes. As she placed it in a certain order, she told him about his life and how he felt throughout it.

"Do you want to know about your husband?" Satichko asked.

"We are divorced," Wolfram stated. She just chuckled.

"If you say so." She turned over the last card revealing a blank card. "This is interesting. A blank card how worrisome. Well you can go about this many ways… you can ignore it, listen to him, keep your decision about the divorce, or you can still love him like you do at the moment."

"What makes you think I still love him?"

"Your expression says it all. That girl he just brought was nothing but a friend. They both knew it. She blackmailed him into it. She wanted to see what kind of husband he had that would make him space out and think and talk about all the time."

"Really? I very highly doubt that."

"Oh you'll see. When this is all over, you'll see."

-X-

Wolfram is seeing. He did not know what to do. He did not feel pressured as Yuri kept his gaze down waiting for a response. He could tell that Yuri was starting to look dejected. Wolfram was torn, one side wanted to go through with the divorce, the other wanted him to give him another chance. It seemed the latter was winning because he knew in his heart he still loved the wimpy king and still wanted to be right by his side. Wolfram came to a decision. Kneeling down to Yuri's level, he hugged him, making sure that Yuri knew what decision he came to.

"Ignore me again, Wimp, and I'll make sure you are roasted beyond recognition."

Wolfram did not see the true smile Yuri had put on his face. Yuri brought Wolfram closer, startling the blond but not caring seeing as how everything seemed to be going right.

Seven years later…

"Get back here Alarica!" Greta called running after the little girl running ahead of her. The little girl Alarica laughed at the chase she was in. She turned to look at Greta.

"You can't catch me big sis!" Alarica called back. The girl looked ahead with her black eyes and saw her mother and father approaching. She smiled happily before increasing her speed. "Mama, papa!" she said jumping to her mother. "Mama, big sis is being mean to me!"

Greta managed to catch up, out of breath, and sent out a weak protest. "No breathe Papa-Wolfram, I… did not."

"Alarica, we told you to be ready today. Lady Flurin is coming along with her husband and son to visit," Wolfram said putting down his youngest daughter.

"But… but… I don't like him. He's mean to me!" Alarica said. "You understand don't you papa?" she added with the puppy dog eyes to Yuri who was laughing nervously at the looks he was getting.

"I have to agree with your mother on this one princess. He is not that bad I'm sure Markos will be better." Yuri said taking her hand and leading her to the outside court where Flurin is waiting for them.

As soon as the boy and girl saw each other, sparks of annoyance sparked between them.

Fin.
