Chapter 19: Prelude of Light
Atsushi held onto Yumoto's hand"A-Atsushi-senpai! Those aren't them!"
"Yumoto…"
"They aren't! Hireashi or Zundar or whoever made copies of them! I can't sense anything that show those are the real Caerula Adamas!"
Atsushi gasped, "What?!"
Yumoto nodded and Atsushi looked down and Kinshiro looked at them. "Scarlet, give up!"
"No! I know you're not the real one!"
Zundar growled, "Future God of Love-da…how did you know…?!"
"They have no souls…as a God I can tell!"
Zundar looked at him and Atsushi gasped as he shot needles out towards Yumoto. "YUMOTO!" He screamed and blocked them.
Wombat growled at Zundar and ran towards him. "You've done enough already!"
He looked at Yumoto, "Get rid of the fakes!"
Yumoto nodded and Io and Ryuu attacked the fake Akoya, En attacked the fake Ibushi, and Atsushi along with Yumoto attacked the fake Kinshiro.
Io and Ryuu combined their attack and the fake Akoya screamed as it was destroyed.
En and the fake Ibushi struggled but he was stopped when Gora came up behind them and hit the fake Ibushi with his axe.
Yumoto gasped as the fake Kinshiro grabbed Atsushi.
"Atsushi-senpai!"
"Yumoto! Remember your training!" Atsushi yelled, "Just attack it! I won't be effected by your attack!"
"B-But Atsushi-senpai!"
"DO IT!"
"Yumo-chan! Listen to him!" Araki yelled, "Please, get rid of these fakes!"
Hiroyuki nodded, "Yes! Your majesty, end this long battle!"
"O-okay…!" He pointed his love stick at the fake one, "S-Scarlet Love Lumiere!"
The fake Kinshiro gasped as he was hit and Atsushi hit the ground as the fake disappeared.
"Now where could the real Caerula Adamas be…?"
"Yumoto, you need to get rid of Zundar!" Wombat yelled and Gora looked at them, "I'll do it! You worry about the Caerula Adamas!"
The VEPPer ran around, trying to find the real Caerula Adamas.
Akihiko froze as he heard, "HELP!"
"Haru…someone's yelling!"
Haruhiko gasped, "I hear it…it sounds like Perlite!"
The two ran to the voices and Haruhiko flung open the door. He gasped as he saw the three Caerula Adamas members tied up. Akoya looked at them, "Thank goodness! This weird hedgehog came up to us and tried to make us evil! When we refused, it made copies of us!"
Akihiko nodded, "We saw! They're trying to kill Yumoto and the others!"
Kinshiro growled as they untied them. "Even At-chan?"
Haruhiko nodded again, "Yes!"
The five of them ran to the others and Kinshiro frowned, "Where are the fakes?"
"We got rid of them." Io replied and Ryuu smiled, "Yeah!"
Ibushi smiled and Yumoto gasped, "Ibu-chan-senpai!"
"Little One!"
Yumoto ran to him and began to cry. "I-I-Ibu-chan-senpai!"
"It's okay…it's okay…" he comforted and hugged him.
"I-I thought you actually wanted me dead!"
"Of course not…"
Ibushi stroked Yumoto's hair and smiled. "Little One, I love you…I'd never kill you."
"I-I know…" Yumoto whispered and Araki smiled at the two.
"Ara-chan…are you still going to marry Yumoto?" Hiroyuki asked and Araki replied, "Only if he wants to…"
Yumoto turned towards them and giggled, "Can I go to the Mortal World again?"
Gora thought for a moment and sighed, "Yes…"
-
Yumoto smiled as Araki stroked his hair as they sat under the tree they always sat at in the mortal world.
Yumoto blushed as he felt Araki kiss his head and he yawned, "Thank you for being there for me…"
Araki nodded and Yumoto looked at him, "I tried to sneak out so many times to see you…"
"Yumo-chan…I wasn't always there…your brother told me that you tried to sneak out when you were really weak."
Yumoto looked down, "I-I know…I… didn't like it. I wanted to see you!"
Araki blushed and Yumoto sighed. "I missed you…I hated being alone."
"Didn't you have your guardians?"
"Yes, but they were boring…"
Araki laughed, "You're so silly Yumoto."
Yumoto looked at him and sighed, "Lord Tungsten…I wish you wouldn't tease me…"
"I'm sorry Scarlet." Araki smiled and Yumoto looked down as he began to laugh.
"I hate when I act formal around you!" Yumoto giggled and Araki smiled. "I do too. So please, act like yourself."
Yumoto nodded and gasped as he saw Katashi and Yuudai.
Yuudai smiled at them and Katashi walked over to the duo.
"How have you been, future God of Love?" Katashi asked and Yumoto replied, "Good! I've been training again. I really hate it though!"
Yuudai smiled, "I would too!"
Yumoto laid his head on Araki's shoulder and he blushed as he heard his guardians.
"Hush Ryuu!"
"This is spying! We should stop!"
"Kinugawa-senpai, you're just not excited for the best part!"
"Can't we go home?"
Yumoto stood up and growled, "GUYS! I was having a moment with my suitor!"
He frowned as his four guardians walked out, "Atsu-mama, you too?!"
Atsushi sighed, "I was looking for a gift for you here, when Ryuu grabbed me and I was forced to stay with him!"
Yumoto frowned and Araki laughed, "Yumo-chan, don't worry. We should visit a park. You'd like it."
"Park?"
"It's just a place you can visit in the day. I enjoy it and to go with Hiroyuki." He grabbed Yumoto's hand, "Let's go to one…"
Yumoto nodded, "Sure! Atsu-mama, can I go?"
Atsushi smiled, "Of course. There's no threat anymore, so please, go on."
Yumoto giggled and ran up to hug him. "Thank you! I love you!"
Atsushi laughed and hugged him back. En smiled and Yumoto ran to hug him too. En smiled as Yumoto thanked all of them and ran back to Araki. "Bye~! I'll be back, and no one follow me!"
Ryuu sighed, "Fine!"
"Stay safe, Little One!" Io added and the Battle Lovers watched as Yumoto ran with his suitor to a park.
Atsushi and En held hands as they watched, "I feel like a mother whose child is graduating from school…"
En laughed, "Don't worry…he'll be back."
Atsushi smiled at him, "Of course…"
