The Prophecy

Chapter two: The Meeting
"YUURI! YUURI!" Wolfram ran down the palace's halls the next morning still in his pink nightgown. "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU, YOU WIMP!" he yelled.

"Wolfram," Konrad saw Wolfram running. "Wolfram!" he ran after him. "Wolfram, stop!" he said, trying to calm him down.

"Where is he?!" Wolfram demanded. "Where is Yuuri?! He wasn't in bed when I woke up!"

"I saw him in the Garden," said Konrad. 'I don't think you're going to like what you're going to see, Wolfram,' he thought, watching Wolfram run past him. He decided to go after him, Wolfram really might kill Yuuri. Then he ran after him, with the thought of Wolfram strangling the king to death registering in his mind.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, HENNACHOKO!" yelled Wolfram, seeing Yuuri asleep on the bench as he approached him.

"Huh?" Yuuri and Ken awoke because of Wolfram's yelling. "Doshitano, Wolf? You're yelling so early?" he rubbed his eyes as Ken stretched his arms.

"What is going on?" said Ken wearily.

"YOU!" Wolfram yanked Yuuri from the bench to his side, hugging him possessively and hurting Yuuri in the process.

"Hey! Wolfram! That hurt!" Yuuri whined.

"What do you think you're doing with my Yuuri?!" Wolfram yelled at Ken.

"Huh?" Ken focused his blurry vision on the peach, yellow and pink figure before him. "Wolfram?"

"Wolfram!" "Heika!" Konrad and Günter running down the halls, their wooden heels of their shoes echoing through the walls. They saw Wolfram starting an argument with Ken

"Answer me! What were you doing with Yuuri?!" Wolfram demanded

"Oh, him?" said Ken, relaxing back on the bench. "Guess we must have fallen asleep after-"

"After what?!"

"Wolf, come on, let me go," said Yuuri, trying to get out of Wolfram's grasp.

"Wolfram! Let His Majesty go!" said Günter, helping Yuuri get loose from Wolfram.

Ken got a little pissed off. Wolfram wasn't showing any respect for him. He stood up and straightened his robe "After His Majesty and I arranged a meeting for today late last night, Sir von Bielefeld," he said sternly. "Let His Majesty go, Sir von Fornchrist, Sir von Bielefeld, we have a meeting to prepare for,"

Wolfram's pride suddenly dove. "My apologies, Your Highness," he slowly let Yuuri go as so did Günter.

"Do not let your jealousy carry you away, Sir von Bielefeld," said Ken, then he turned to Yuuri with a cheery face. "Ne, Shibuya, let's go," he took Yuuri's hand and left the garden.

"Yuuri…" Wolfram whispered.

Günter put his arm around Wolfram's shoulder. "Wolfram," he said, his voice full of concern

"Wolfram," Konrad said his name from behind.

Wolfram took Günter's hand off his shoulders. "Leave me alone," tears escaped his eyes as he turned away.

Ken let go of Yuuri's hand as they disappeared into the hallway. "Thanks…for back there…Murata," said Yuuri.

"Why don't we call each other by our first names, Yuuri?" Ken suggested. "I think it makes me more comfortable in your presence,"

Yuuri looked at him. Sure, why not? He smiled. "Sounds good,"

The two laughed. Then suddenly Ken leaned on the wall, his hand on his forehead, feeling dizzy. "Uh…" he moaned

"O-oi! Ken!" Yuuri helped him keep himself on his feet. "Dai jou ka?!"

Bring me back, Sage.

"Wha-…what?" Ken mumbled, "Bri-…bring…b-back?"

"O-Oi!" Yuuri caught him as he fell, losing consciousness. "Holy shit,"

"Hey, Ken, you alright?" asked Yuuri, watching Ken sit up from the bed around half an hour later.

"What happened, Yuuri?" he asked him, moving to pinch the bridge of his nose.

"Well, you felt dizzy and you passed out," Yuuri explained. "And before you got knocked out, you said, 'bring back',"

Ken gasped. Bring me back, Sage was what he heard. Was that…the Original King? "Bring me back, Sage,"

"Excuse me?"

"Yuuri, we have to move the meeting earlier this morning," said Ken, hurriedly getting out of his bed. "Yuuri, dress up!" Ken ran to his bathroom.

Yuuri couldn't do anything but to comply with his wishes.

"Everybody, we are gathered here today because it is His Highness, Murata's wishes," said Yuuri. "If you please, Your Highness," Yuuri stepped down from the low stage and gave the floor to Ken.

Ken gave a thanking smile to Yuuri as he watched him go back to his seat. "Yes, I was the one who had all of you assembled here, in the well, the assembly hall," said Ken. "I will announce a prophecy. A prophecy that will now come true in His Majesty Yuuri's rule." He continued. "Thousands of years ago, before the war that led the Original King to his death, he told me that he will come back in a certain Maou's rule. And that Maou, is the 27th Maou, Shibuya Yuuri,"

The assembly hall was filled with whispers and noise. Yuuri looked shocked. The Excellencies looked shocked as well.

"SILENCE!" Ken roared and the bustling disappeared. "Now, I do not know how he intends to come back. Nor in what state. I also to do not know how His Majesty will participate in this prophecy. And I do know why this prophecy is not written in the books, because the Original King didn't want anybody but me to know. If you want to know more of this, please approach Sir Weller, and Sir Weller will handover your doubts and questions to me. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your time and for giving me the floor. That is all, dismissed. You may leave,"

Everybody had already left. But Yuuri was still sitting there, stunned, dazed, taken back, not moving from his place. Ken approached him. Gwendal, Konrad and Wolfram were there behind him, refusing to go, and wanting to know what the King had to say about what Ken had just said. Konrad had Greta come with a servant and take her to her room.

"Yuuri, you ok?" asked Ken, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Sure, yeah," said Yuuri, taking a few, deep, calming breaths. "I'm fine, despite that fact that the Original King is about to come and take a look at the kingdom I am now running. And if he doesn't like it, I'm dead!"

"So when is this 'prophecy' about to come true, Your Highness?" asked Gwendal, noticing Konrad went to one of the passing servants as asked him for something.

"That, I do not know, Sir vom Walde," said Ken. "Could you meet me in one of our meeting rooms and I will explain it thoroughly there," he got the glass of water and gave it to Yuuri. "I don't want the people knowing too much before all of you know every detail," he watched Yuuri drink

"Will His Majesty have anything to do with this?" asked Konrad, getting the glass that Ken was handing over.

"We'll meet later," he said, helping stand.

"This won't put Yuuri's life in danger, will it?" Wolfram asked. You could really see he was afraid.

"I'm sorry to tell you this Sir von Bielefeld, I do not know that as well," Ken said with the sorriest voice he could muster. And with that, he led Yuuri out of the assembly hall.

"I don't think this 'prophecy' is safe at all," said Konrad, as the three of them watched the two leave.

"The King didn't even tell him how he will come back," said Gwendal.

"Even when, and in what state," Wolfram finished.
