Goodficseeker- Sorry for not reiterating that I do not own Naruto, Sakura, Edward, Winry, Al, or any other's that I have happened to miss (I'll check to see if I got everyone later). That honor goes to whoever created them. Google it. I was only trying to show that Yuri now had the power to travel between dimensions. If I happen to use other character's in the future I'll make sure to do so. And I think this story is actually pretty damn creative, except for the borrowed characters.
Edward, AL, and Winry come from Full metal alchemist. If ya' didn't know.
Disclaimer: I Don't Own Kyo Kara Maou either.
Chapter 14:
Wolfram's POV:
"Yuri... Let's get married" I said.
He stared at me with confusion in his eyes, his eyes widening as he registered exactly what I had just said. Multiple emotions flickered across his face, ranging from happiness then falling into sorrow. When I saw that last emotion, I could feel my heart break in anguish. Did he not want to marry me?
I chuckled, trying not to let my emotions worm its way into my words. "...Jeez Yuri...I was just joking. You don't need to take it so seriously." I lifted myself off the ground, and started to walk away, but was stopped when something pulled at my sleeve.
Yuri was still on the ground, his eyes holding sadness, as he gripped my sleeve tighter. I looked at him, worried now. Ever since he came back he rarely showed emotions in the open, at least emotions that weren't fake. He would still jump around, trying to act like the bubbly henachokko he was before he had left, but he wasn't the same. Don't get me wrong, he was getting better, but slowly.
"Gomen, Wolfram. I didn't mean anything like what you're thinking of. I do want to marry you... But, I also don't want to lose you." He said his eyes swimming.
"Henachokko, you're not going to lose me." I tried, but he just shook his head.
"Wolfram... I'm not going to be able to age with you, and eventually you are going to die. Don't you remember what Shinou said about me? Why would you want to stay with me knowing that?!" He yelled out, gaining the attention of the guards standing at the entrance of the dining hall. He looked at them, frustration clearly showing on his face. "Gomen...Wolfram, I kinda need to... Be alone right now." His body turned into a blur and he disappeared. His sons and Conrad walked into the hall, wondering about the outburst.
"Wolfram... What happened with Heika?" Conrad asked me.
"...I don't know... I just asked him to marry me, then it turned into this. He's upset about what Shinou said about him not aging." Conrad nodded understanding.
I looked behind him seeing the brothers whispering something to each other and nodding.
"Wolfram... Whenever he's upset, he usually goes somewhere that's high up and in the open. Like maybe the roof, try there" Aiden said to me, I thanked him, and bolted up the stairs.
I reached the roof door and noticed it was slightly ajar, allowing the cold air to rush into the building. I pushed it open and saw Yuri sitting on the edge of the building, his shirt was off and so was his jacket, allowing his wings to open fully and soundlessly flutter in the wind. His gaze was on the sun setting in the distance, and he was holding a small white stick with his lips, inhaling deeply. The end of the stick glowed cherry red, as he took it from his mouth and exhaled a whitish smoke into the wind, leaning back. He looked so unbelievably elegant right now, even if there was nothing royal about it, he still managed to pull it off. I sighed and made my way over to him, he had his eyes closed when I got there.
"Yuri?" He jumped when I spoke, and almost fell off the ledge.
"Oh, Jesus... You startled me Wolf." He said, chuckling low.
"...Gomen, but I need to talk to you." He nodded and snubbed the ember at the end of the stick, giving me his full attention. "Yuri...I love you. I don't want what Shinou said to come between us." He chuckled dryly.
"Wolf... I really couldn't care less about myself right now. I am going to lose you someday...I couldn't...take that." He said.
I walked over and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Then why are you so dead set on waiting? I would think that you would want to marry me sooner, since you're so worried about time." I supplied, he nodded against my chest.
He mumbled something unintelligible, because his voice was muffled by my shirt. "...What?" He looked at me, a new determination in his eyes.
"... One week." He stated. "That should give Cheri enough time to call some people, and I'll get the tailors working on something we can wear. I'll let my family know about it tonight and bring them over."
He was still babbling, and I smiled, leaning in to place a kiss on his lips, ceasing his talking. He deepened the kiss, and I noticed his taste was off a little bit. It wasn't bad, just different.
"Yuri?" He glanced up at me. "What was that weird smoking stick you had in your mouth? It made you taste different." He blushed when I said that and pulled a small white package from his jacket on the ground.
"I only seem to need to smoke when I'm feeling anxious, it calms me. To answer your question, these are cigarettes. It's actually pretty addicting and eventually harmful for people on Earth, but for me, they're more like a light sedative." He explained. "I never smoke around people, because the smoke can also be harmful to others, so that's why I'm usually alone when I need to smoke."
I tugged on his arm and pulled him to the door. "We should tell my family the good news," He agreed.
"Wolf... At least let me put my clothes back on. I don't really want to explain to your family why I'm half naked and why you're out of breath." Heat flushed my face and I released him.
He quickly threw on his shirt and jacket and we went to the dining room to tell my family. Before we reached the dining room doors, he pulled me towards the wall, whispering into my ear.
"Would you mind letting me say something else first? I need to do this." I nodded and we entered the room.
Gwendal was no longer scowling, and everyone had started talking and had resumed eating. Yuri walked over to where Gwendal was seated and started speaking, the chattering stopped quickly.
"Gwendal... On Earth it is customary to ask the oldest male in the family for his blessing when it comes to marriage." Yuri kneeled down in front of my brother. "...I love Wolfram and I want to marry him, will you give us your blessing?" The whole room gasped.
Yuri was showing an extreme respect to my brother, by doing this. Gwendal looked flabbergasted and frowned at the man kneeling before him.
"Heika, you should get up. You're greatly disrespecting your position, by doing this." Gwendal hissed out.
Yuri only smiled back, unfazed. "No, Gwendal. I'm just doing something I should have done in the first place." He replied, not getting up.
To everyone's surprise a small smile flew across Gwendal features, but it was gone in a flash. "...Heika...I couldn't entrust my younger brother to a better person. Yes, you have my blessing." The room sighed in response, and Yuri's tail was swaying back and forth, causing everyone to laugh.
My mother leapt up from her chair and tackled Yuri. "Awww! Yuri that was so sweet!" She said pulling him into one of her bear hugs.
She finally released him and Yuri started to speak again. "Thank you Gwendal... Everyone can I have your attention?" The room silenced again. "Wolfram and I want to be married within the week." The room exploded with cheers, and mother began to call for rounds of wine to celebrate.
About... six days later...
Wolfram's POV:
"I'm not wearing a dress, hahahue!" I stated to my mother.
"Oh, but Wolfie. You'd look just adorable in one." She cooed, holding up the white monstrosity.
"It is not going to happen." I replied back, hearing Yuri's voice as I rounded the corner.
"Yadda! Okaa-san, no dress!" Yuri yelled, and I smirked when I heard him groan, exasperated.
Yuri smiled his goofy smile when he saw me, and walked over to me. I stood on my toes, trying to give myself the necessary height needed to reach his lips now. He smirked and leaned down, giving in to what I wanted. Jennifer and my mother cooed, and a bright flash lit the room, startling me. I looked over to see Jennifer holding a silver rectangular box in front of her face, another flash happened and I was blinded for a moment. Yuri grabbed my shoulder, as I stumbled back, and leaned forward.
"Yuu-chaaaan! Give me back my camera!" I heard Jennifer whine. Yuri only scoffed as I saw Jennifer's form jumping up and down, trying to reach the object he held high above his head.
"Yadda, I'm not going to give this back until you learn not to blind people with surprise pictures." He said.
"Yuu-chan, listen to your mother and give me the camera." She pouted, Yuri's face smirked playfully.
"Alright." He handed over the camera and grabbed my hand, pulling me out of the door.
I heard the same clicking sound I heard when Jennifer took the picture before, only multiple times. She sighed out of frustration, and I saw Yuri holding something in his hands.
"Yuri what are those?" I asked him, and he twirled them between his fingers.
"I took the batteries out of the camera. It's what powers it up."
Wolfram's POV:
"Yuri, where are you taking me?" I asked, after we had taken various turns and corridors.
He turned around, leaning against the brick wall. "...I'm not sure..." He replied, glancing down both sides of the hall, a confused look crossing his features.
I had to laugh at that, here he was dragging me around, not sure of where he was going himself.
"Yuri... We really need to find the tailor before our mothers do. Unless you're fine with us both wearing dresses." I reminded him, and he shivered at the thought.
"You're right... C'mon I can smell his cologne down this hall. Yuck! Awful stuff he wears, don't you think? Kinda makes him smell like a horses a-"
"Yuri!" I cut him off, as I saw Greta around the corner, her step brother's playing some game with her.
"Ah! Here it is." He pulled me into one of the doors, and the tailor, looked up flustered when he saw Yuri.
"H-Heika! It's such an honor to work for you, can I help you with anything?" He asked, his face tinged with a little red, though he was trying hard not to show it. I'll burn his ass if he lays a hand on Yuri. I promised myself.
"Actually yeah, if anyone comes in here, telling you to prepare a dress for my fiancée and I, don't do it." Yuri said nonchalantly, either being dense or ignoring the tailor all together. "You also need measurements for our garments right?" The tailor nodded vigorously, and I was starting to get pissed.
The tailor and Yuri looked over at me, feeling the change in temperature, swallowing and paling slightly.
"W-Wolfram...Calm down. We need him alive and not injured for our attire, he's just going to take some measurement's and then we'll leave. Alright?" Yuri said and I nodded slightly.
"Make one wrong move, I don't care if it's an accident, and you're cooked to a crisp. Got it?" I threatened, he made a squeak and grabbed his measuring tape.
Yuri sighed when we finally left, and grabbed my hand, placing a kiss in my palm. I flushed red, and he smirked in return.
"Thank you for not burning him, I know it was hard." He whispered against my palm. "Now... Let's go relax... Cheri had said she was going to take care of everything else, besides there's something I want to show you." He said grabbing a bag on the way out.
He led me behind the castle and into the woods. "Yuri...I don't think there's anything out here." I said, but he just kept leading me the same way.
I saw a light at the end of the trees and saw a meadow come into view. There were thousands of types of flowers, all surrounding a massive lake. I looked in awe at the sight, not remembering seeing this place before. "Yuri... It's beautiful. How come I've never seen this place before?" He smiled.
"That's because only the Maou can come here, unless he allows another person to come, but I'm not done yet." He let go of my hand and walked to the edge of the lake, placing his finger on top of the surface.
The lake completely froze and from the looks of it, was smooth on the surface. He smiled and beckoned me to come over with a wave of his arm. He reached into his bag and pulled out some footwear with a silver blade attached to the bottom of each.
"Wolfram, I'm not sure if you've ever been ice skating before, but I thought it might be fun." He said.
I pulled off my boots and put on the skates, and he did the same. My first attempt at trying to stand was embarrassing, I ended up falling backwards, and would have hit my back if Yuri didn't catch me. We made it to the ice, and he got onto it with ease, me...not so much. I was having a hard time balancing on such a thin blade (Even if there were two of them), and at first Yuri pulled me along, skating backwards. Pretty soon though, I was getting the hang of it, and was able to skate around without Yuri's help. I started to have a good time, skating side by side with Yuri.
It was dark by the time we got back to the castle. "Wow, Wolfram you learned fast. It took me a few weeks to be able to skate without falling on my ass every time." I was getting tired and headed straight for the showers, Yuri followed in silence.
We quickly finished our bath and laid down under our comforter. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, thinking about our wedding tomorrow.
Wolfram's POV:
As soon as I woke up, I saw Yuri staring straight at me, smiling lightly. Strange, he didn't seem to have changed position's since we fell asleep. He smiled and pulled me close for a kiss, before we could though, the doors slammed open. Yuri groaned, looked at the intruder and was pulled from the bed by a panicking Gunter, into the other room. He looked like he was going to faint seeing Yuri without a shirt, wearing only long black pants. I was just about to burn the man when Conrad came in.
"Alright Wolfram... I brought you your wedding attire. So get ready and change into this." I nodded and he left the room.
I did what I usually do in the morning, washed my face, brushed my teeth, and made my way back to the room. The clothes were inside a black bag, to keep the dust off, and I pulled on the zipper. looking inside. The suit was a deep midnight black, a crimson sash ran from the shoulder to the waist, where a silver clasp embedded with a red gem pinned it. Silver buttons adorned the front and silver clasps at the end of each sleeve. The pants were simple, having only a crimson stripe at the bottom, other than that it was also midnight black. I have never in my life worn so much black before, and I traced my finger over the material, not wanting to wrinkle it.
I quickly put the suit on and opened the door, where Conrad was waiting. He led me to Shinou's temple, and into another room. The room was silent adding to my nervousness, I wanted to see Yuri so much. Gwendal opened the door a few moments later, and informed me it was time for the wedding, good thing I had written my vows before hand.
I was led into the reception hall and the music started, the butterflies in my stomach were going out of control now. The guards opened the door and Gwendal led me through, it was almost as if time had stopped. I saw Yuri at the end looking back at me, clad in a suit similar to mine. Only accompanied by a long blue cape, and blue sash. It didn't matter that everyone was staring at me as I entered. All that mattered was him. I walked down the aisle, with the tempo of the music, and Gwendal released my arm once we got to the end.
"Wolfram, is it true that you come of your own free will and accord?" Ulrike asked me.
"Yes, it is true." I responded.
"With whom do you come and whose blessings accompany you?" She continued.
"He comes with me, his eldest brother, and is accompanied by all of his family's blessings." Gwendal answered her.
"Please join hands with your betrothed and listen to that which I am about to say. Above you are the stars, below you are the stones, as time doth pass, remember... Like a stone should your love be firm, like a star should your love be constant. Let the powers of the mind and of the intellect guide you in your marriage, let the strength of your wills bind you together, let the power of love and desire make you happy, and the strength of your dedication make you inseparable. Be close, but not too close. Possess one another, yet be understanding. Have patience with one another, for storms will come, but they will pass quickly. Be free in giving affection and warmth. Now please recite your vows to each other." She said to Yuri and I.
I stared at him when he started to fidget. "Don't tell me you forgot about the vows." I said in a low hiss.
He chuckled and stopped moving, staring straight into my eyes. "Wolfram, What can I say to you that I haven't already said? I love you enough to want to protect you, care for you, guide you, comfort you, listen to you, and cry to you and with you. Enough to be silly around you, never have to hide anything from you, and be myself with you. Enough to adore your personality, respect your values and see you for who you are...I love you enough to fight for you, and compromise for you if need be. Enough to miss you incredibly when we are apart, no matter what length of time it's for and regardless of the distance. Enough to believe in our relationship to stand by it through the worst of times, to have faith in our strength as a couple, and to never... Ever give up on us enough to be there for you, when you need or want me, and never leave you. My body, my mind, my heart, even my soul. Everything that is me, belonged to you long before this, and it shall be yours long after this, I will follow you anywhere and everywhere you lead, Hand in hand... And heart in heart." He recited to me, and I could tell it was from the heart.
"Wolfram, you may now begin yours."
I couldn't believe that he memorized that whole thing, just for me. I smiled and started to recite the vow I also memorized. "Since we have been together, you have provided me with strength, security, confidence, honesty, love and plenty of much needed guidance. Where there has been cold, you have brought warmth; where my life was dark, you have brought light. In my darkest trouble, in my coldest silence, I looked for you and you were there. You are truly my knight in shining armor. You may not realize it but you have helped me and saved me in so many ways and I love you for that. I am honored that you will have me as your husband and I am proud to have you as my partner. I believe that we were meant to be from the start and I will always love you with all my heart. As we face the future together, I promise to stand by your side. I promise to unfailingly share and support your hopes, dreams and goals. I vow to be there for you always. When you cry, I will comfort you. When you laugh, I will share your joy. Everything I am and everything I have is yours, from this moment forth and for eternity." I finished.
"Yuri, I have not the right to bind thee to Wolfram, only you have this right. If it be your wish, say so at this time and place your ring on his finger." Ulrike said.
"It is my wish." Yuri replied, and placed the ring back onto my right hand.
"Wolfram, if it be your wish for Yuri to be bound to you, place the ring on his finger. Wolfram, I have not the right to bind thee to Yuri only you have this right. If it be your wish, say so at this time and place your ring in his finger."
"It is my wish." I stated and placed my ring onto his finger.
"I now pronounce you married. You may bind it with a kiss." Yuri leaned down and placed a sweet kiss on my lips, and the room exploded with cheers.
Everyone congratulated us including Yuri's friends and students. Once we made it to the other end of the aisle, Yuri grabbed my hand and pulled me outside, into the awaiting carriage.
The driver closed the door, and Yuri pulled me close. He opened the divider between the driver and its occupants.
"How long do we have before we reach the resort?" He asked the man.
"About two hours, sir." He relied back, and Yuri closed the divider, a mischievous smirk graced his lips.
He leaned towards me and kissed me deeply, causing me to moan and shudder, then dragged me down to the floor of the carriage. We were on our way to a resort for our honeymoon, one that only royal blood could reserve and occupy. It was going to be empty, since royals barely left their own country and the nobles here had their own castles to attend to. It would just be Yuri and me... And a few guards. After a two-hour ride, Yuri and I were interrupted again by the driver.
"We have arrived at our destination sir." He said pulling open the door, revealing Yuri and I in a dishelved state.
We weren't naked, but my shirt had been unbuttoned and so had Yuri's, our coats thrown onto the seats. Both of us were red, and sweaty. Yuri glared at the driver when his eyes passed over me, and grabbed the door and slammed it closed. We fixed our shirts and tucked them back into our pants, then stepped out.
"...Thanks for the drive." Yuri said to the driver, his eyes still cold.
The driver shivered before tipping his hat and driving away. "Wimp." I muttered under my breath.
Yuri had stopped walking when he had heard me, eyes downcast. I blinked a few times, finally registering that I had hurt him. I walked back over to him, and he wrapped his arms around my waist, looking at me, love in his eyes.
"You weren't calling me a wimp in the carriage, or in bed about a week ago." He purred into my ear.
I flushed remembering what he had done to me, and smiled evilly. I still haven't repayed him for that little deed. Oh, he was so going to pay. We had checked in and went to our room. It had a beautiful view, one with a huge lake and mountains far in the background. I stepped out onto the balcony to admire the view.
"This is so beautiful, don't you think Yuri?" I asked and he agreed.
When I turned around I saw that he wasn't looking at the view at all, but me. I could feel myself turning red under his obsidian gaze. I walked back into the room and searched through my bags for the small bottle hahahue had given me the night before.
/Flashback/
"Wolfie-chan, here. I need to give you this before you leave on your honeymoon. It's extremely important that you use this before doing anything..." She was holding out the small clear bottle to me, with light blue liquid inside. I nodded and took the bottle from her, somewhat thankful.
/End Flashback/
Yuri saw what I had pulled out and blushed. "Umm... Wolfram? I kinda have a confession to make here." I looked over at him.
"I did read some things... Just not...Everything. My superior had kind of taken away the book before I could get to that part." I nodded in understanding.
"...Gwendal was... Kind of forced to give me the talk a few days ago. So I'm pretty sure I know how." I supplied and walked over to him, kissing him fiercely. He looked so cute when he was flustered like this.
He moaned and brought my tongue into his mouth, where I began my exploration. Shirts were quickly thrown astray, and soon we were on the bed. He chuckled when I broke away from kissing him and positioned myself above him.
"Oh, so you want to be seme?" I looked down at him, confused at his word choice.
"...Forget it, cultural reference. I'll explain later." He said.
"Consider this payback for your attack in bed not long ago." I told him, and he smiled.
I trailed my fingers down his hard stomach and stroked his hardening member, through the thin layer of his black slacks. His body shuddered and I unbuttoned the clasp of his pants, and undid his zipper, trying to relieve the pressure. I moved my way back up and nipped around his rising bud, teasing the other with my thumb and forefinger. His ears now bent downward, eyes glazed over and he started to claw at the sheets below him, trying to get a better grasp. I removed my pants and underwear and he did the same, he grabbed the small bottle, handing it over to me. I dribbled a generous amount over my fingers and Yuri spread his legs. I, inwardly, took a deep breath and started what my brother had explained.
/Flashback/
Gwendal glanced over at me, face turning red out of embarrassment. "...It is important to... Prepare your partner for the... Intrusion." He said, his face turning from red to blue. "You need to... Stretch your partner before entering. Just look for the sensitive spot, you should know when you find it."
/End Flashback/
He had said this and left the room, going so fast I thought his cloak would catch fire, as he stalked off. He had given me some vague instructions, and that wasn't helping me now... I pushed in one of my fingers into his entrance, moving it side to side. He had gasped at the new feeling and adjusted himself trying to get used to it. I had found what I had been looking for and pushed my finger deeper, probing it multiple times. The action elicited a moan from my soon to be lover, and he bucked against my hand.
"D-Dammit, Wolfram... I can't... Take it anymore." He said around labored breaths. "I need you ... In me... Now!" He bit out, his body shuddering.
I complied and withdrew my finger, grabbing the blue liquid once again. I covered my shaft from base to tip with it and proceeded to finish what I had started. I placed the tip of my cock at his entrance and pushed in slowly, not wanting to hurt him.
Yuri's POV:
I felt something tear when Wolfram entered me, and tried hard not to yell out. I bit my lip in protest, accidentally drawing blood. The crimson liquid dripped down my chin and onto my chest, I could feel Wolfram's fingernails bite into the flesh on my back, as he waited for my body to adjust, before moving rhythmically. Soon all my pain was drowned out in an ocean of ecstasy.
"Please... Harder Wolfram. Fuck me senseless!" I yelled out.
His strokes came quicker and more firmer. Just when he was about to climax, his hand wrapped around my length and started to pump it. We both went over the edge together, his seed spilling into me, and mine hitting his chest. His body collapsed on top of mine and we stayed like that for awhile, recovering. He removed himself from me and laid down next to me. I could feel the scratches he left in my back still bleeding slightly, but shrugged them off. They would heal in the morning, and I drifted off to sleep.
Birds were chirping near our window, earlier the next morning, and I tried hard not to go chase them down. Opting instead to throw my shoe against the wall, scaring them. The action sent a spasm of pain through my body, and I stopped moving to curl up into the fetal position. Damn, it hurt so much... I let out a moan. Wolfram shifted next to me, and propped himself up with his elbow, looking at me.
"Yuri, what's wrong? Are you hurting?" He asked, worry in his voice.
My back was against him and he grabbed the blanket, tearing it from my body. Blood covered the sheets, and my lower back was screaming out in pain. Wolfram saw the blood and scratches, and his hand flew to his mouth.
"Oh, Yuri. I'm so sorry. Let me go get some ointment." He jumped put of bed, and rummaged in one of the bags, pulling out a small tube.
He applied the ointment liberally over the scratches, and started down lower.
"Hold it." I said, stopping him. "Don't worry about that, I'll just heal it using Maryoku." He nodded and stayed silent the rest of the time. I let out a frustrated sigh. "Wolfram... Don't worry about it. I wanted this too, remember? I was the impatient one this time, and it came back and bit me in the ass, literally. We'll know better next time, and I'll read some more, so just say something." I pleaded and he nodded.
"This isn't turning out how I expected it to." He mumbled, causing me to smirk.
"Well, I don't now if you noticed, but I wasn't exactly making too much of a fuss." He smiled lightly. "I'll just have to take it easy for a few hours, change the sheets, and not walk around for a little while. I'll be back in action in no time." I said, giving him the thumbs up.
I made my way into the bathroom slowly to clean myself off, and lowered myself into the bath. I heard him ripping the sheets off the bed, crumple them up, and call the maid to take them away for a new set. He joined me a few moments later. I could feel the scalding heat hit my scratches, when I fully submerged myself, and stayed underwater for a good four minutes. I could feel the water pulse as Wolfram moved around, trying to find me under the mass of bubbles gliding over the top. His hand clasped over my wrist and I broke to the surface for air.
"What's wrong Wolfram?" He looked over at me, an incredulous look crossing over his features.
"Why are you trying to drown yourself, you wimp!?" He asked me.
"Drown myself? I'm not trying to do that, I was trying to see how long I can hold my breath underwater, since you don't want to talk." I said.
"Oh, you just scared me. That's all."
"I was thinking too. Why aren't my wounds healing? the scratches didn't heal instantly, like with others." I mumbled under my breath, he didn't hear.
"Yuri?" He started. "What's Seme?" He asked, and I smiled at the sudden change in topic.
"Seme... describes a position, meaning top. Uke means bottom." He looked at me still confused and I sighed in return. "This time you were Seme while I was Uke." I reiterated. I could hear the clicking when his mind registered what I had said. He glanced up at me, turning red, and I chuckled.
We spent the next few days recovering and tried again later switching positions. This time using more fingers, and more lube. This time it went over smoothly, and we were pretty sure we had it down. So much in fact, that we didn't leave the room. Soon the week was over and we had to head back to the castle. I had specifically ordered another driver, and this one was older. He barely looked at us as we got into the cab.
"See Wolfram? I told you everything would work out all right. I'll just need to walk straight when we go through the castle." I laughed out, Wolfram chuckled.
I was still slightly worried, my scratches and tears, still haven't healed. So much for Shinou's theory on immortality. Wolfram came over and sat next to me, I wrapped my arms around his middle, and sighed, contented. He patted my head, and scratched behind my ear. I could hear my tail thumping against the seat, in pleasure. He chuckled softly, and rubbed harder.
"Wolfraaaaam, you know what that does to me." I whined pathetically.
Our coach reached the castle walls relatively quickly, and we both hopped out, only to be tackled by a mass of mocha colored curls.
"Ah! Greta, It's good to see you too." I said, and she giggled.
She was now thirteen, and was understanding things a little too good now... And gaining a slight interest in boys.
"Did you and Papa-Wolf have a good time?" She asked, feigning innocence. I should know, I mastered that skill already.
"... Umm... Yeah there were a lot of birds, and squirrels and stuff." I said trying to tell her anything at this point.
"... What's a squirrel?" She asked me, her eyes huge.
"I'll bring some animal books next time I go to Earth, so that I can show you." I promised and she giggled, running to tell Anissia.
"... She's getting too smart Wolfram... We'll have to chase off a lot of guys." I stated, and he nodded in agreement. "C'mon we should go see Shinou, about my scratches."
"Alright... Wimp." He replied, I laughed, happy that he called me that again.
"I'm not a wimp." I retorted.
We made our way to Shinou's temple once again, and saw Ulrike standing at the entrance, a broom in hand. "Hi Ulrike. Is Shinou in right now?" She nodded and continued her sweeping.
We walked inside and Shinou glanced up at us from the book that someone had left open for him. "... Hey Shinou, we kind of wanted to ask you something." He nodded and walked over to us. "Well..." I started, Jeez how do I start this question? "Wolfram and I kind of got a little intense over the week and I got hurt in the process. The problem is the scratches haven't healed yet. In the past they would heal instantaneously." I said and he paled slightly.
"That must be because you've given yourself over to the one you love. It's better known as imprinting. Even in the past werewolves always kept themselves at a distance from their loved ones, for this reason. Wolfram is the only one capable of hurting you so intensely now." I nodded.
"So does that mean he can kill me?" I asked, and Shinou shook his head.
"No, it just means that the you'll feel the pain and pressure as if you were human, and it will take just as long to heal from it, but you will not die." He said.
"Alright, so Wolfram is my one weakness... We'll just need to be careful."
Wolfram listened in silence and followed me when we left. "Yuri, we should head back. It's almost night fall." I nodded, and headed back to the castle.

Chapter 15: Nani?
