"When I get my hands on that? That, solider, he's so getting banished from the kingdom!" These were the thoughts of the young dark-haired Maou as he stormed threw the castle, heading for the east court.

"Who does he think he is flirting, with Wol-Ak-Akane like that!" Yuuri mumbled aloud as he finally made it to the second floor stairs.

"Who's flirting with whom?" Asked a deep voice coming from the stairs.

Yuuri paled as he realized what he had just said, or in his mind didn't even mean to think aloud. After all, he couldn't possibly think of Wolfram as someone only he was allowed to flirt with? could he?

Yuuri turned to the questioning voice, and if humanly possible, he paled even more as his eyes took in not one, but two figures as they came to stand upon the second floor.

"Is something the matter, Heika?" Asked the worried voice of Gunter.

Yuuri stood stiff as his eyes darted from Gunter to...Gulp Gewndal. "Oh no, oh no, Gunter's one thing, but Gewndal, too? Oh man, please don't know I was talking about Wolfram! If Gewndal knew, then first he'd give me that look: That one that makes you feel like he's digging through your brain and knows every thought, and every emotion you have. Then Gunter, uhhh, not Gunter, he'll either get upset and cry, or get clingy. I don't know what's worse, but I do know if I don't stop talking to myself soon they'll wonder why I haven't said anything! How much time has passed anyway? WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING SAY SOMETHING YOU MORON THEY'RE STARING!"

"Didyouknowthegestationperiodofanelephantistwenty-twomonths?!" "Oh Shino your so cruel, kill me now please!"

"Gestation?" Asked Gewndal, arching a brow.

"What's an elephant?" Asked Gunter as he tilted his lavender head.

"Bye!" Shouted Yuuri, as he launched himself over the railing over the second floor hallway. Gewndal and Gunter gasped as they watched their Maou fall to the first floor, landing with the grace of a cat, knees bent and arms spread wide. Then, without warning, Yuuri stood and ran to the castle's main entrance with the speed of one as well.

"Gewndal? What is an Elephant?"

Gewndal rolled his eyes at his shocked companion, and, turning on his heel, continued to walk to his study for a distraction. After all that, he needed it. He also needed to look into a few things? after all "Why was Yuuri talking about gestation?"

"Go, solider boy!" Shouted "Akane" as she watched the pony-tailed man spar with one of his fellow soldiers.

The boy, who "Akane" had recently come to know as "Sir Leslie Ohtsuka(1)", smiled dashingly as the blond as he parried and finished off his opponent in a single moment. There was no doubting that he was indeed one of Conrad's men.

"Akane" strode over to Leslie, smiling as he helped up his sparring partner, laughing as he flexed his muscles in triumph.

"Good job, solider, apparently you're not as weak as you seem." Said "Akane", teasingly.

"Ouch, that hurt." Said the boy, as he placed his hand over his heart in mock offend.

"Good, Solider. Your ego seems to need a slap on the wrist every once in a while."

The two busted out laughing just as the bell that signaled training was over rang in mirth. "Well, fair lady, I do have a name you know, you may call me by it. While 'solider boy' is? appealing in some ways, I would prefer you call me Leslie, or Ohtsuka, or at the very least Akio(2)." Said the solider smiling charmingly, then his mouth snapping shut at what he said.

"Akio?" Said "Akane", stifling a laugh but failing horribly.

"I well!" Leslie blushed brightly as the blond continued to laugh. "It was my mother's idea to give me that as my middle name." Said the boy still blushing as "Akane" finally reigned in her manners.

"Forgive me I well? its just, AKIO!" "Akane" continued to laugh as Leslie stood with a very disgruntled look on his face.

"I! Hehe, I'm so?pffftt, sorry, Leslie. I'll stop now." Said the blond, burying the laughter with her hands.

"Yes, yes, laugh at the poor solider and his funny name." Said the dark-haired boy, faking a pout.

"Ahhh, Leslie, pouting is beneath you." Said "Akane", patting his hand gingerly. The sound of someone clearing their throat came from behind the two, making them spin around.

"Yuuri!" Shouted "Akane" as she abandoned Leslie's hand in favor of running to the Maou and meeting him halfway.

"Yuuri, this is my friend, Leslie 'Akio' Ohtsuka. He is one of Sir Weller's men." Said "Akane", smiling and adding emphasis on Leslie's middle name if only to embarrass him a bit more.

"Heika. It is a pleasure." Said Leslie, as he gave a bow. Yuuri bowed his head slightly in reply. "Akane" found this strange because Yuuri never let others bow to him; he would say something like, "Oh please, don't bow, I'm not that important!" then give off a light laugh, even if it wasn't true because, being the Maou, he was very much important. "Akane" did not know why she knew Yuuri did things like that, considering she just came to Shin Makoku, but it felt right.

"Yuuri, is something the matter?" Asked the blond.

"No, it's nothing. Come On Akane dinners starting soon." Said Yuuri, giving the Solider boy a small glare out of his the corner of his eye, a glare that Leslie did not miss.

"Oh, alright. Leslie, I must be going. Thank you for letting me watch you train. It was fun." Said "Akane" with a smile as she took the Maou's hand in her own and headed off to the castle.

"You are very much welcome, Fair Lady (3). I shall see you again." Said Leslie, as he watched the blond walk away, 'her' soft hair bouncing behind her.

Leslie felt unease as he turned to look at the Maou, who was glaring at him over his shoulder. Leslie gulped and turned to head out of the training grounds, only to be met with the hollers of 'Oooh' and the eyes of his fellow soldiers.

"You'd do well to be cautious where your treading, boy." Said a fair-haired soldier. "Looks like the Maou doesn't want you anywhere near his lady friend, Akane." He finished with a sharp pat to Leslie's back and headed off to the guards' and soldiers' quarters.

"He's right." Said another older man. "While the Maou is engaged to Lord Wolfram Von Bielefeld , it's not uncommon for the Maou to take another."

Leslie sighed as he watched the form of the retreating "Akane". His face shown the look of a sad young boy, but his mind was already busy concocting plans to steal Lady "Akane" from the Maou. Plans that he was sure would not fail?

Ohtsuka(1) Also know as the Japanese voice of Gewndal Von Walde or Voltaire(as it is written in Japanese) Ohtsuka is his sur name.

Akio(2) Ohtsuka's(Voice of Gewndal) first name, (Akane/Wolfram-finds this name to sound rather girly)

Fair Lady (3) Leslie has taken to calling "Akane" but this title since she seemed to like calling him, "Soldier Boy."
