The Maou Misadventures

A very big thanks to all my reviewers and people who added me on alert! (Humbly bows).

paskibraGirl- You asked for pairings, so please give me suggestions on that. B.T.W. I'm not gonna write any yaoi/shounen ai stuff, sorry if that brought your hopes down. Also, a warning, I suck at writing romance, I've never tried, but I know I suck at them.

Review of last chapter:Okay.... Yuri was on his way to Chenatten with Conrad, Wolfram and Gunter, to form an alliance. The carriage breaks and Yuri wanders into the forest and gets lost. His retainers have just realised that he's missing...

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Kyou Kara Maou! but neither do you.

Chapter 1- Lost by Friends and Found by Strangers

~SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOREST (HUMAN LANDS)~

Where am I? Everything looks exactly the same...Trees...I'm already getting sick of them. His Majesty the Maou was completely clueless of his whereabouts.

How long has it been? One hour? Two hours? Three hours? Even more than that? He was also completely clueless of the time.

"CONRAD!!! WOLFRAM!!! GUNTER!!!" He screamed as loud as he could for the millionth time. Or was it the billionth? "WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?"

Yuri sat down and contemplated over what to do. What should I do? Augh...What can I do?

Suddenly he heard footsteps, many footsteps, approaching. Rather than feeling relieved at the possibility that his retainers had found him, he began to feel scared. These footsteps....They don't belong to either Conrad, Wolfram or Gunter.

He laughed at himself, in less than a year he had familiarised himself so much to his friends that he could recognise their footsteps. Then he paused.

This is no time to reminisce over the strength of friendship! I should hide and see who those footsteps belong to.

Yuri quickly ran to find a suitable hiding place. But it was too late, the footsteps were very close. It was a matter of time until he would be discovered. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his back. I've been shot?!? He was shocked. But before he could anything, he felt weak and tired, the whole world seemed to spin into a blur of pitch black...

He collapsed face first into the forest floor, he could faintly feel the footsteps reaching him and figures looming above him. Yuri couldn't move at all... he became unconcious...

~BACK ON THE MAIN ROAD~

"It's been 20 minutes and His Majesty still isn't found!" wailed Gunter.

(So much for the baka Maou's sense of time...thinking it could be more than threes hours...)

"THAT WIMP! We have our backs turned for one second and he goes completely missing!" screamed Wolfram. "HMPH!"

Conrad didn't say anyhting, he was worried sick about the young king.

"YURI! YURI! WHERE ARE YOU?" he called, but he knew it was pointless. They had been calling and searching since they realised he was gone.

"There is nothing we can do." sighed Gunter. "I have sent a carrier pigeon back to Gwendal explaining the situation. I have requested soldiers to search every inch of this forest, they would be more capable of finding him.. Our Majesty will surely come back to us." he reassured. "But for now we should head to Chenatten. If we are late ot don't show up at all they might reconsider the alliance. His Majesty won't be happy if that happens."

So Conrad and Wolfram reluctantly mounted their horses and Gunter re-entered the fixed carriage. They headed off to Chenatten.

~BACK TO YURI~

"...a soukoku!..."

"..should we do?...can't let him stay..."

"...must be the Maou..."

"...or Daikenja...rumours say..."

"...dark hair and eyes..."

"...AH! HE'S WAKING UP!..."

Yuri woke up the the sound of muffled voices. AUGH! My head hurts...He tried to open his eyes to see who the people were...Four blurred figures....and...Yuri's head felt to groggy to stay awake and focus for much longer.

He laid back down on what should be a bed and fell asleep again...

When Yuri woke up his head felt much clearer.

(Yes, yes, it was pointless making him fall asleep and wake up again. But I just felt like it.)

He saw two people and he stared at them, they stared back.

"Ah, you're awake again? What a funny fellow you are! Why did you wake up just to fall asleep again?" asked a kind male voice.

"Don't blame him. It was your fault, you shot him with that tranquilliser." countered a gentle female voice.

"Ha ha! I thought he was a rabbit! My hunting skills are quite low." he laughed lightly.

What does that mean? Hunting? Thought I was a rabbit? Yuri looked around him. A large room, no windows...

The door suddenly opened and two people entered.

"OH! He's awake?" asked a cheerful female voice.

"..." said the other remained silent.

Everyone, four people in total, (coz, 2+2=4, ya know?), stared at him.

"Well, we should introduce oursleves!" announced the cheerful voice.

The guy with the kind voice stepped forward first. The guy who supposedly thought he was a rabbit. The guy who supposedly shot him. Yuri sweat-dropped at the awkward thought. "My name is Ephraim, but my friends call me Effie, you may call me that as well if you like." Effie had blue eyes and blue hair which would be considered a bit long for a male (it was the length of Wolfram's but it looked less girly-ish.) "I'm 17 years old and skilled at swordsmanship."

"I'm Lute!" said the cheerful voice. "Uh...Just call me Lute!" She giggled. Lute had brown eyes long purple hair which she wore in two braids. She smiled, "I'm 16 years old and my specialty is planning stratergy and inventing. I have alot if knowledge in the field of science, and I also have a considerable amount if houjutsu."

It was the lady-with-the-gentle-voice's turn. "I am called Raquel." Raquel had blue eyes and long blonde hair which she let down. "I'm 21 years old and my speciality is wielding houjtsu, which I have a geat amount of."

Lastly, the quiet guy. "Rath," said Rath. (O_O) Rath had brown eyes dark green hair which he wore under a bandana. "19 years old, master at archery."

Everyone paused and looked expectantly at Yuri. He had been asleep for three days, and in that time there was a huge uproar over the missing Maou. Yep, they had discovered that he was indeed the Maou. But it wasn't like they felt any hostility towards him, they were all in favour of the Mazoku and human alliance. But they didn't return him to Shin Makoku for the following reasons:

1. They had shot the Maou with a tranquilliser (even though it was an accident).

2. They brought him to their secret hideout to wait until he woke, but it has been three days and they could be seen as kidnappers.

3. They were a suspicious group and were all human.

Their only hope was that the rumours about the Maou being kind were true, so when he woke up he could explain their innocence,

They held their breaths and waited for him to speak.

"Who am I?" asked Yuri with confusion.

End of Chapter 1- Lost by Friends and Found by Strangers

A/N: So yeah...Yuri has AMNESIA! OMG! Ah...If anyone was wondering, yeah, I did steal some people from Fire Emblem, but oh wells, it shouldn't matter too much. It's just their names, some of their features, their personality-ish (not really so much)... but their life/past/status are different! Maybe...

In the next chapter...Find out what the group of four are gonna do with the amnesiac Maou! (I'm not gonna update sort-of-fastish[?] when holidays are over coz I plan to study this year unlike every other year. LOL)

Please review! ." For the sake of this writer's happiness, PLEASE REVIEW! Tell me if you prefer longer chaps because this story will progress very slowly...haha....

~Read the next chapter please!~
