Disclaimer: ….. Gravitation doesn't belong to me… isn't that obvious?
Summary: this set back to the time period where Kings and Queens rule the lands and knights roam the earth. This is a story that tells a tale of two impossible lovers and how they lived that lives and what will happened to them at the end.
Chapters 12 - Let the War Begin
The two lovers shared one last night with each other.
Yuki woke up at the first sun ray that went into the room and left a still sleeping Shuichi on his bed.
Yuki quickly grabbed all his packing and walks towards the door, not before turning to look at his lover one last time and with a sad sigh, Yuki walks out the door and shuts it quietly behind him.
That was the hardest moment of Yuki's life as he left Shuichi while he was still sleeping but he know that if Shuichi was to wake up, then he might not want to leave ever again but he know what he had to do. This is for his country and not to mention his Shuichi.
It had been over two hours after Yuki had left that Shuichi had finally woke up.
Shuichi sat up and yawned. Shuichi was about to turn to wake Yuki up when he noticed Yuki's suitcases not there anymore. Shuichi stared in horror and quickly look around the room for any signs for Yuki. But there were none.
Shuichi look down at his laps. His prince had left him without even saying goodbye. His was starting to tear up when he noticed a note on Yuki's pillow.
The note:
Dear Shuichi,
I know you will hate me for leaving you but I can't, I just can't face you before I leave. I know you will start tearing up and I will comfort you and then I will want to stay. But I can't, I hope you will understand me. I didn't say goodbye to you either… but the reason is that I don't want to say goodbye… if I said goodbye to you… it would be like saying I am not going to come back… I don't want us to end like that Shuichi. I just want you to know my heart will be with you forever, no matter where I am. So please, take care, and waits for the day that we will reunite again.
Love, Yuki
Shuichi finally broke down and started to cry freely.
"Yuki… YUKI!" Shuichi cried.
The door suddenly burst opened and Ryuichi went flying in.
Shuichi look up at surprise and before he can respond in any way, Ryuichi pulled Shuichi into a tight hug.
"Shuichi… Shhhhh… I heard you all the way down the hall… Is ok Shuichi… I am here now…" Ryuichi whispered in Shuichi's ear.
Shuichi was shock but hugged his friend back.
"All my friends are gone except you because of the war… Yuki and Hiro… even Tohma and Tatusha!" cried Shuichi.
"Shuichi… they are going to come back… I know you are sad…" Ryuichi said.
It was hard for Shuichi to accept the fact at first that his Yuki is gone but he have faith that they will be back together soon. But as little as he know, the war wasn't going so well for his kingdom.
The few days after the war had started was nothing usual, except for both armies losses but what do they expect? It is a war. But afterward, things began to go bad for their kingdom. Everything strategies that Yuki thought off was always useless. The Brick kingdom was really living up to their name; they have armies as tough as rocks. I mean, Yuki had never saw armies as stubborn as them in his entire life. The Brick kingdom never knew when to stop. They just keep coming and coming back at them.
Yuki stood in the healing camp and looked around. Dead and wounded soldiers were everywhere.
There were some soldiers that has died really painfully, getting their heads cut off, arrow through the heart, knife through their stomach, poisoned gas, and many more…
And soldiers that were wounded all sat there and prayed for death since they are really suffering great pain right now.
Yuki couldn't bare to see the sight before him. It was just too much but he know that the soldier had all done their best in the war. Yuki stood up straight and gave them all a salute and walked off to find his father.
"How can this be you people? We are losing men fast and it had only been a few days! We can not lose I tell you people! WE CAN NOT LOSE!" yelled the King
"Calm down father, panicking isn't the greatest thing to do right now, we need to stay clear minded so we can think about what to do next." Said Tatusha thoughtfully.
"You had actually said something that is useful for once Tatusha." Said Yuki as he walks into the meeting camp to join the meeting.
Tatusha glared his older brother and Yuki returned the glare.
"Now now sons, we are already in enough shit so quit fighting among ourselves!" shouted the king.
"Then you shouldn't get frustrated that easy either!" yelled back the two princes.
"HOW DARE YOU TWO YELL AT ME!" shouted the king
"IF YOU CONTINUE TO GET DISTRACTED LIKE THAT, YOU MIGHT END UP MAKING THE WRONG CHOICES AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS WE WILL LOSE THIS TIME!" yelled the two princes.
"Please please you highnesses… there is no need for yelling…" said the head general, while the other general sweatdropped.
Yuki released a tired sigh. "Is there really any need for war in the first place? I mean this whole thing started over a stupid betting system anyways… couldn't we just sit down and talk about it?"
"YUKI! Do you even know what are you talking about? The Brick Kingdom had always thought highly of them and that's just so frustrating. I mean no one had ever go against them before and we didn't either, so if they are so sensitive about this thing and go around demanding another country to limit our power just because they are feeling scared is very unacceptable! I will show them!" said the King.
"And that's the reason why many soldiers had to separate with their families! You know how they felt when they knew they had to go into war again and this time with a really powerful enemy? And you know how the families felt when someone went to their house and told them that their husbands, father or sons had died because of the war? I know you give them money father but that will never heal the pain in their hearts! We are making the soldiers to leave their love ones behind because of our selfish acts!" said Tatusha.
Yuki started in awe, his brother had actually thought about other people's feeling for once.
"I understand what you are trying to say Tatusha but we can't just quit now, I won't allow it." Said the King.
"But your highness! Many soldiers are running away just because they are afraid. This war is just meaningless!" said Tohma.
"Soldiers had been running away eh? I know a way to make them stay. Generals! Go announce this to all the soldiers. If anyone was to get caught for running away, they will be sentenced to death, no questions ask. Am I understood?" said the King.
The Generals quickly bowed down and hurried out the door.
"Father, you are just making the situation worse! Now the soldiers will hate you and they might not do their best for the war." Said Tatusha.
"Son, you are thinking too childishly, sometimes, you have to take full control in order to win." Said the King.
'Oh great, father is starting to become heartless." Thought Yuki. 'Shuichi, please tell me, what should I do now?"
Back at home…
Shuichi just finished eating lunch with Ryuichi and is now back in his room, quietly staring out the window. Hoping if he waits patiently, his prince will appear. When he suddenly heart Yuki's voice, 'Shuichi, please tell me, what should I do now?". Shuichi bolted up from his position and look around the room.
"Yuki! Yuki! I just heard Yuki!" said Shuichi.
But he soon discovered that he was still alone. Shuichi starts to tear up and went back to the window.
'Oh Yuki, I heard from Mika-san that it isn't going well with the war right now. How are you? Are you hurt? Hiro sent me a letter lately and I am glad that he is still alive, when is the war going to end? I miss you… I miss all of you...' thought Shuichi.
With that, Shuichi slide down to the floor and hugging himself while crying.
Author's Note: aaaawwwwwww…….. now that was a heart breaker, I almost criedmyself asI read the story over again. What will happen now between the two lover? Will Yuki live to Shuichi again? What will Shuichi do while Yuki is away?

I am really grateful for all your reviews! Hope this chapter was worth your waiting!
