Title: Now When You're Gone: Kyou Kara Maou Drabbles

Rating: PG-13

Characters/Pairings: Yuri, no real pairings. This chapter could be seen as slight Con/Yuri, but it wasn't really intended that way. That is my second favorite pairing for this though, so hints probably came through. ^^;

Genre: Angst

Chapter: 1/6

Warnings: Spoilers for episode 35-40

Summary: Back in the Kingdom, everyone must come to terms with a pain worse than death: betrayal.

Disclaimer: I don't own KKM.


Light reflected off of the small pendant. Something so small, yet so precious. Or it had been. Yuri's dark eyes flicked from the necklace to the window with a unusual lack of interest. Night had fallen over then kingdom, and everyone was asleep. At least those outside the Castle walls. Inside it was a different story. Hardly anyone could sleep not with him gone.

Behind him, Yuri could hear Wolfram shifting restlessly. His gaze returned to the necklace.

Had everything Conrad told him been a lie? Did everyone really mean so little?

Holding the pendant to his chest with shaking hands, Yuri squeezed his eyes closed, desperately wishing the answer was no.
