This is my tribute to Yuuri Shibuya.

Things to remember:

A) This fanfic contains shonen-ai. MALE ON MALE. BOY X BOY. Don't like, don't read. It's simple, folks.

B) I support YuuRam. If they have sex(unlikely), Yuuri will top. Deal with it *-*

C) I do not own Kyo Kara Maoh, sadly. But that's okay. I'll live.

D) This is a work of FICTION. So because of this fact, anything I say goes. No complaining if something below does not make sense. I will be more than happy to explain my logic if you ask me.

More relevant info to this chapter: Yay! Preview time! I have edited the preview to not reveal the baby's gender. The 'he and/or she's' have been replaced with 'it.' Now, if interested, check next Friday for the first chapter of the next arc!

PS. The song used is Arigatou, which I do not own, by BONZ. It is the second(?) ending in KKM. Also, I typed 'Yuri' instead of 'Yuuri,' so I hope you are not bothered by this.

Sincerely wishing you all well,

Kida-Asumi, the Captin of Sirius


"arigatou" wo kanade kanade

The 27th Maoh and his daughter Greta smiled as Wolfram walked up the steps into the catsle…well, wadled up the steps.

tooku hanareta to shite mo...

"Oh Yuri…" Wolfram murmured sadly, clutching his daughter close to him as the double black was thrown to the ground.

kaze ni fukarenagara aruite

The royal guard quickly rode towards the castle in Big Cimaron, Grendal leading with Anissina at his side.

ikikau hitogomi no naka de

Wolfram, pregnant, gasped as a knife was thrust in front of him. His eyes looked around wildly, hoping the passbyers did not notice. The spouse of the Maoh flinched back, his hood falling off. He ran into a body, eyes widening when he realized who the person was.

'Why…' He thought silently as he passed out.

yasashii kimi ni koko de deaeta ..."hanaretakunai yo"

"I don't want to go!" Wolfram cried as he hugged his husband fiercely. He and Greta were being sent to the country, in hiding because Conrad's betrayal had left the country in a state of distress.

"I know Wolf, but you have to. For the baby." Yuri said calmly as he embraced the pregnant blond. Kissing his forehead, Yuri lead him to a white horse.

sabishii yoru mo

kimi ga ita ne

Wolfram jerked awake, shaking in a cold sweat from the nightmare. Tears streamed down his face as his unborn child kicked.

'Yuri…' The green eyed male thought longingly, reaching out towards his husband's hulicination. The imaginary Yuri smiled, reaching for him as well.

yakusoku suru yo "TSUYOKU NARU KARA"

"Damn it Conrad! Why have you done this to us!" Yuri cried out in frustration, pounding against the door as Wolfram flinched again, the contractions getting closer. The black haired male sighed, returing to his spouse's side, kissing his forehead as he did his lamaze breathing.

"I'll get us out of here Wolf." He whispered. Wolfram nodded, gripping his hands tightly.

tsunaida kokoro wa

hitotsu dakara

Wolfram smiled softly as Yuri was sprayed down with the water hose by Greta. He glared before throwning a water ballon at her. The blond shook his head as he returned to his plans for the nursery.

bokutachi wa toberu n da

"Yuri, where are we?" Wolfram asked wearily. He stiffled a gasped when he realized he was in the arms of the Mazoku Maoh, Yuri's other form. The being smiled at Wolf, gripping his side.

"We are safe." He murmured, eyes hardening down at Conrad on his knees. The little baby let out a soft mewl in its maternal parent's arms, lightly suckling at his wrist.

"arigatou" wo kanade kanade

tooku hanareta to shite mo

As the world came back into focus, Wolfram stiffened. His kidnapper had a knife at his child's throat, and his older brother had one on his own.

"Conrad, please, spare it!" He choaked, barely breathing when it let out a weak wail of protest.

"sayonara" to te wo futte

mata koko de aimashou

Yuri smiled as he watched Wolfram bend down to pick up their four month old child. Their blond hair shined in the meadow's sun. It giggled when it noticed Yuri watching, reaching for him as he aproached. He watched, amused, as a light pink filled Wolfram's cheeks, due to the Maoh's arms going around his waist.

hitotsu hitotsu kono omoi wo ima

kanaeru koto ga dekitara

Hearing the helpless cry of his child, Yuri quickly entered his mind.

"We need to hurry." The Maoh growled. Yuri nodded.

"I know, but we have to becareful. Wolfram and the baby could be injured otherwise." Yuri explained. The Maoh nodded, calculating what to do in his head.

"I have a plan." He said finally, eyes glinting.

kitto tsuyoi boku ni nareru kara

waratte kimi ni aeru yo

"Are you sure this will work?" Greta asked suspiciously. Yuri nodded.

"I'm sure. Try it." He encouraged. Greta nodded. As the ball came towards her, she closed her eyes and swung. She grinned as she notcied how far it flew. Yuri threw her into the air, the two laughing gleefully.

hitori hitori de mawaru sekai wa

shinjiru koto sae kowaku naru kedo

"Sometimes, Yuri, it doesn't matter who it is. If the person you love is endagered by another, then the one in danger must come first." As Yuri recalled this quote from King Saralugi, he opened his eyes. As he stood up, the room quited.

"Everyone, Lord Weller must be stopped by any means." He said strongly. Gwendal and Celi flinched, but nodded. The room exclaimed it's approval, and they filed out. Yuri watched from his office window as his subjects began making the preparations for war.

"Yuri, I love you." Yuri recalled his lover's voice.

"I love you too, Wolf." He said softly, ruffling Greta's hair as he left the castle, Morgif at his side.

ano hi kureta kimi no kotoba ga

obidatsu boku no hane ni naru kara

"Yuri, knock it off!" Yuri recalled Wolfram exclaming in the bathtub, the night before he was sent off to hide. Yuri had smiled, kissing him as he pulled him onto his lap.

"No. I love the blush on your cheeks too much." He had murmured, which lead to a darker blush. Kissing Wolfram gently, the royal couple once again christed the bath.

'I'll save you Wolf.' He thought determinedly, kissing his wedding band.

"arigatou" wo kanade kanade

tsunagu te wa nai kedo

A hooded figure smiled bitterly at Wolfram in his arms.

'I am so sorry.' He thought to himself.

"arigatou" hibike hibike

kono uta kimi e todoke

Softly playing the demon flute, Yuri watched with a small bit of satisfaction as the crops of Shin Makoku were given a nurishing drink. Looking out, he imagined Wolfram and Greta strolling through the garden, pushing a baby stroller in the rain. When he heard Greta's shriek of delight, he noticed that the two he was thinking about were doing just as he imagined. Well, minus the baby carriage.

"Papa-Wolf, look at the rain. Isn't it pretty?" She asked excitedly, gripping the blond's hand tightly. The pregnant male -though you can't notice the baby bump- nodded.

"arigatou" wo kanade kanade

tooku hanareta to shite mo

Celi sighed, a watery smile on her face as she looked at pictures of her family. One of her and her brother, another of her and Raven, another of Hube and his family, Hube and Gwen, and the current royal family right next to the one of her and the boys. She smiled sadly at the looks of pure joy on the three of their faces, knowing that it would never happen again when they were in the same room together.

"sayonara" to te wo futte

mata koko de aimashou

As the new heir was shown to the kindom by the Maoh, it's maternal parent watched proudly. Yuri beamed at his natural born child kissing it's cheek. The crowd cheered, loving Yuri's paternal show of affection and the giggle it gave.

"sayonara" to te wo futte

mata koko de aimashou

"Good night." Wolfram whispered, Yuri squeezing his shoulder's behind him. Greta smiled at their side down at her little sibling. She waved to down at her, letting her parents then shoo her out of the nursery. Wolfram smiled as Yuri wrapped an arm around his waist that night. The blond rolled into his, snuggling up to him.

...mata kimi ni aitai...

As Yuri watched Greta teach his child how to tie its shoe laces, Conrad approached his with a contract. He sighed, turing back to his work.

"I'm what!" He heard, freezing at the sound of Wolfram's yell. He noticed his children share a look too. Smiling and shaking his head, the Maoh walked out of his office to see what the problem was.
