The Truth Beyond the Reflection

Chapter 13: Endings Bring New Beginnings

By Sanzaki Kojika

Disclaimer: I do NOT own any of the Kyou Kara MaOh! Characters. I do however, own everything "beyond the reflection." Heh. WARNING: There IS Yaoi in here. YxW and vice versa. I guess you could say hints of CxY, too.

Yay! Last chapter! And I'll be finally done! I haven't actually had much to do with Kyou lately…I read the manga as it comes out in Japan (have a subscription to Asuka)…but I don't have the anime past episode 41…but, after talking about it again, it relit my inspiration to finish this! Plus, I have nothing better to do XD I ended up deciding against doing a Yuuri chapter, so the final chapter is another Wolfram!

I watched as the guards, under Günter's guidance, moved the shards of the mirror into a stone casket…almost as if it were a burial! I couldn't help but wonder what happened to Chigi and Lief…and of course, Morgif….the last I had seen of him…surely he hadn't survived that. I wanted to wish he had…but I knew better than to have such false hopes. They only ended in pain.

"Are you still moping!" Yuuri frowned at me. I glanced up at as he sat down beside me. He had a sword strapped to his back…obviously, he had just come from training.

"I am NOT moping. I'm just worried about them, is all," I hugged my knees to my chest. Yuuri frowned even more. I frowned back at him.

"Ah, mou!" Yuuri messed up his hair. I glared at him.

"What is up with you?" I glared at him even harder. Ever since I had gotten back and explained everything out soo many times…Yuuri had been acting…different. Surely, from what Conrad said, so had I. But, I was really worried about Morgif. He had risked his life for me, I just wanted to know if he was alright. I was pretty sure Lief went down when the mirror did…but what about Chigi? They were my friends…I guess you could call them that…and I had every right to get worried about them! I couldn't see why Yuuri got so upset about it! He would have been worried, too! And he would have made a much bigger fuss! That wimp!

"All you talk about is Morgif, Morgif, Morgif! It's driving me crazy!" Yuuri snapped. I cocked an eyebrow at him.

"What's so bad about that? It's no different than how you talk about Conrad! I admire him and I'm worried! He did a lot for me when I was in that stupid mirror!" I motioned towards the broken mirror being shoved into the box. I watched as the put the lid on it. It was all over…that mirror and its curse had finally died…

"Alright, alright! I get it all ready!" Yuuri stood up. I blinked up at him. What the hell did he get…? I cocked an eyebrow at him.

"I understand how jealous you get…can you please just stop it already!" Yuuri shouted down at me. I just continued to blink at him. Jealous…? Wait, did he mean…? I could feel my face flushing a bit.

"What are you talking about? I was just telling you my honest feelings!" I frowned at him. His face turned bright red. I stood up to glare at him.

"I…uh...you weren't trying to make me jealous…?" his words stumbled at the end. I shook my head slightly. He got jealous…over me? I couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Whatever!" Yuuri turned away, flustered. "Shouldn't you still be resting?"

"Wimp," I glared at him. He glared back at me. "I've been resting for two days! I feel fine now! I can't stand to just sit around doing nothing!"

Ah, this was going nowhere…I turned to leave when a sudden moan caught my attention. For a moment, I just stood there, but when I heard it again…I ran around Yuuri and pulled the sword off of his back.

"Hey-" Yuuri tried to protest, but the Mazoku sword was already in my arms.

"Morgif!" I shouted at it. I had totally forgotten that in this world he was a sword! What a fool I had become! If I had thought of it sooner, I would have eased this worry so much earlier on.

Morgif moaned at me and gave me an overly large and deformed smile. Usually, I would have just glared at the sword and thrown it away in disgust, but this time…it was different. I hugged the sword against my chest.

"You're okay!" I could feel tears forming at the corner of my eyes. In that short time, Morgif had become such a good friend and protectorate to me…I could hear Yuuri groaning in the background.

"S-stop it already!" Yuuri pulled Morgif away from me. I reached to get it back and Morgif gave him a weird face. Then again, all of the faces that sword makes are pretty weird…Yuuri glared at me.

"No! I'm not letting you hug my sword!" Yuuri strapped it back across his back and folded his arms across his chest. I glared at him.

"You wimp!" Well, it really didn't matter. At least I knew that Morgif was safe, and that relieved me to no end. I just wish I could find out about the other two. I frowned at Yuuri and turned on my heels to leave. A sudden pressure against my back stopped me.

"Wolf…" My face turned bright red as I could feel his strong arms wrap around me…what the hell was he doing? And in the middle of the courtyard no less. I was embarrassed...but he didn't seem to care. He was such an idiot!

"Please don't do that…" Yuuri whispered into my air. I tried to glance back at him, but he rested his head against my shoulder. I couldn't move my head anymore.

"What are you talking about…?" His grip around my shoulders tightened slightly. I could feel my face growing more and more red by the second. I could hear a group of soldiers snicker as they walked past us. I was going to get them later…! But right now, I had more important things to deal with. Like the new growth on my back…

"First you disappear and no one lets me know…I got so worried, even though I could see you…it wasn't you! And, you come back all batterer…and now all you do is talk about Morgif! I'm jealous, you know…" Yuuri's voice had fallen so quiet I could barely hear it. I smiled softly and managed to free myself from his embrace. I grabbed his hands as I faced him.

"Yuuri…I'm your fiancé! I won't forget it, so don't worry! The only one I want to be with is you…" I leaned closer to him. Now I could see that he was blushing even more than me! I gently bumped my forehead into his.

"You say that…but…I don't know what to think. The way you talk about Morgif…" Yuuri let his head drop a little. I pulled away and rubbed my head slightly.

"Yuuri, I already told you! It's like your relationship with Conrad!" I hit him on the head lightly. He frowned at me and nodded slightly. He still didn't believe me…that wimp! He was such an idiot!

"Fine," I folded my arms across my chest, "I'll prove it to you." I took a deep breath and slowly closed the distance between us. My hands were shaking as they drew close to Yuuri's head. I gently rested them on his cheek then leaned in closer, so our lips were almost touching…and then…before I could move anymore, Yuuri had closed the remaining distance.

"Yuuri, Wolfram…" I could hear Conrad come up behind us. The two of us were now both bright red, and we pulled away from each other quickly, knocking heads in the process.

"Ow…" Yuuri whined and rubbed his head slightly. I just glared at him. He really was such a wimp…but, he was my wimp after all. I let a small smile play across my lips.

"Sorry to interrupt…" Conrad had a faint blush across his cheeks. He rubbed the back of his head slightly.

"Y-you weren't interrupting anything!" Yuuri stammered. Oh yeah…like Conrad couldn't tell what we were doing when he arrived. I sighed and shook my head slightly.

"What do you need, Conrad?" I folded my arms across my chest and cocked an eyebrow at him…my usual arrogant pose. He chuckled slightly.

"The embassy has arrived…" Conrad motioned to the castle behind us. Yuuri let out a groan.

"NO! Not another one!" he whined. I sighed and hit him on the head again, but this time it was harder.

"What was that for?" he glared at me. I stuck my tongue out at him.

"You wimp! If you're going to be the MaOh, act like one!" I chided him. He pouted slightly, but made no retort. Conrad just laughed in the background.

"Alright, shall we get going then?" Conrad placed his hand on Yuuri's back and gave the MaOh a shove forward. Yuuri sighed and started walked. For a moment, I hesitated, but a glance back from Conrad made me hurry to follow.

"You know…I just thought about something," Yuuri furrowed his eyebrows together. When he did that…it looked like a bad imitation of Aniue. I couldn't help but laugh to myself. Yuuri and thinking never seemed to go together.

"Since when did you call Conrad by his name, Wolf?" Oh boy…another long explanation to give to him. I sighed and shook my head. Maybe I'd tell him another time.

Translation notes:

Mou: like saying geez! But my brain is no longer thinking in English today…

MaOh: same as above

Aniue: big brother, very formal

Oops..! I apologize for accidentally lying about the release..XD I've actually had this done for a while, I just kinda forgot to upload it. Bad Kojika…but wee! I'm an award winning fanfic writer now XD My BanJo fic just won first prize in a contest…I'm excited X3 Though in a way that particular fic is kinda odd to me…but anyways, thank you all for reading and for all your support! Hope you enjoyed this fic. Maybe, once I actually get the second half of Kyou (has up to 41 and can't download/use YouTube because of slooow modem), I'll get inspired to write another Kyou fic. But, I still like oneshots better…I'm actually rather disappointed with the last few chapters, so sorry if you are, too! I'm not that good at keeping up long stories, I have a tendency to make lots of small inconsitancies…I aacutally had to ouline events in my novel and character descriptions so I wouldn't mess up…one of the characters changed her hair three times before I did that. SO yeah…but anyways…thanks again!
