Hey guys
soz for the extremely late chapter
thanks so much everyone who reviewed or put me on their story alert
once again sorry it took sooo long, i just had so much to do lately... so here it is ...
Murata took a deep breath in as he opened the door
"That won't be necessary" he stated walking in, Shori behind him.
Everyone in the room ( Gwendal,Conrad,Yuuri,Cheri,Shinou,Wolfram,Yozak, turned to see the two boys (men?) standing in the doorway.
"Murata?" Yuuri asked unsure
"Hey…"
there was a awkward silence, which Yuuri finally broke.
"so… how was your ..ummm … vacation?"
Murata stared at yuuri for a moment before breaking out into fits of laughter.
Everyone in the room stared at Ken as though he were crazy.
When he finally caught his breath he smiled at yuuri, "my vacation, was fine shibuya, there was no need to worry"
Someone presumably Yozak make a chocking sound behind him but murata ignored him.
Yuuri turned back to look out the window leaving a long pause of awkward silence settle on them before hesitantly turning around to face Ken once again.
"Is it true?" Yuuri asked finally.
"ummm… yeah" Murata answered confused
Yuuri and everyone else in the room had looks of pure disbelief written all over their faces and some (mostly everyone in the room except for Yuuri who looked something like a cross between sad and disappointed) also had anger in their expressions.
Their looks making Ken nervous prompted him to continue speaking as all eyes were already on him " I guess, none of you believe my trip was safe or are disappointed that it was because I didn't inform anyon---"
But he didn't finish because Wolfram had cut across him "Cut the Crap, what you did was treason against the king and Shin Makoku" he yelled anger burning in his eyes.
"well it was your fault in the first place mr – I'm – such – an – ass, if you hadn't been so disrespectful, I wouldn't have left in the first place" Murata shot back finlly loosing his cool.
"is that the best excuse you can come up with, seriously… if our king wasn't so wimpy you'd probably be dead by now and I shouldn't even bother respecting someone who obviously doesn't deserve my respect, like you … you filthy traitor, good for nothing …"
"WOLFRAM…" Yuuri cut wolfram off before this turned into a repeat of what happened last time.
"Murata why?" Yuuri asked after a moment of silence
"Why, no … it was fun while it lasted and I'm sorry to say this but I don't regret doing what I did shibuya" was the only answer he received .
"Then on charges of treason against Shin Makoku and attempted murder of the king, we have to sentence you to death my sage" Shinou stated
But murata hardly noticed, he was staring out the window, yuuri frowned " you don't care do you"
"Not really" Ken said indifferently
"Fine, the … the sentence will be carried out in a week, during this time you will be in the prison in the castle, no visitors are allowed, you will be … hung … with the others" shinou stated quietly
"ok, sure , whatever … look if this is your way for getting me back for leaving then ha-ha, great plan why don't you attempt to scare me to death… well here's the deal I just want to get this over and done with ok, cause I really can't be stuffed playing your stupid…" he paused as he processed everything just told to him " wait did you say attempted murder of the king?, that's ridiculous what kind of crap charge is that and treason against Shin Makoku …now as much as I'd love to see through with your 'punishment', you can't charge me with a non-existent accusation, cause I highly doubt leaving shin Makoku for a couple of weeks counts as treason because I'm quite sure I'm legally allowed to leave anytime I want, its not a criminal offence, so now that I've just shot down your arguments, can we please skip to the part where you ask me to apologize to everyone for leaving so I can leave cause I seriously need some sleep"
They all looked at Murata confused
"You think this is a joke?" Gwendal finally asked
"Isn't it?"
"Yozak I thought you said they were part of the rebellion"
"They were, I have no doubts about that … its just there may be a possibility that they didn't tell him, which could be why they were both so angry when they found out that he was the sage of Shin Makoku"
"Can someone please explain to me what's going on?"
"Well Ge-ka, what were you doing with those boys you were hanging around with?"
"Nothing much, just basic camping I guess, we wondered all around the place just … they were nomads, why?"
"Is that what they told you" Wolfram sneered
"Do you have a problem with that Von benifield?" Murata was hoping for a fight, just so he could have a chance at whacking wolfram a couple times, so even if wolfram summoned the elements, Ken would die happy knowing that he had messed up the 'brats pretty lil' face, even if it was temporary.
"Will both of you cut it out, either get along acting like friends or leave … now" Yuuri finally stated getting fed up with their arguing.
Wolfram shut-up instantly, Murata on the other hand immediately turned around and headed to the door, but Conrad stopped him just before he could reach it. DAMN
"Where are you going" Shinou asked sharply
"Well Yuuri gave us the option and to put it nicely I'd rather die then get along with it, nodding his head towards Wolfram"
"Just sit down, your not off the hook yet," yuuri reminded him
"Fine, what else did you want to ask?" Murata sighed
"Well, can you map out the places where you went when you were with them?" Gwendal asked
"Umm, I guess… but sometimes when we traveled, I wasn't fully conscious, especially near the start of our journey, but don't worry Yozak can tell you since, he was the one following me around" Murata snapped clearly agitated that Yozak had followed him.
"Sorry, that would be my fault, I just didn't want you to get into trouble, that's all" Yuuri apologized.
"Is there anything else, you would like to know?" Murata asked brushing away Yuuri's apology, sure he was acting like a kid but for Shinou's sake, he was old enough to make his own decisions, he didn't need someone following him around practically babysitting him.
"Yeah, my sage I need you to tell me about these boys you were hanging around with" Shinou said in his don't – give –me-bullshit voice .
Murata sighed "ok well they're guys and they're nice, that's about it"
"we need to know about their appearance and personality Geka" Conrqad explained patently
"Fine, ummm first there's Masaru who has messy brown hair and mysterious purple eyes, he's human and around 19, he has a rough voice and acts cold to people he doesn't know because he finds it hard to trust people especially Soukou's, umm I guess that Masaru doesn't get close to people easily because he doesn't want to get hurt, he's an orphan who's parents were from Kentanau and he and Isamu have been friends and traveled together since they were 15, anything else you want to know?"
"well come back if we missed anything, tell us about the second boy"
murata smiled as he thought of Isamu "Then there's Isamu, he's sweet, nice and he has a voice of an angel, he has bluey / brown hair and navy blue eyes which you can get lost in, he's caring and compassionate, I don't know much about his past but , he's 36 years old so around 18 and he like Masaru is human, what else ummm he's hot, extremely undeniably hot, he loves reading and is against war and fighting, but he taught me how to fight coincidentally but only for protecting purposes, he's funny and outgoing and can make friends with anyone, he's smart yet sometimes completely clueless and did I mention he speaks like an angel and he's hair is cut so that each layer …"
Murata would have gone on and on talking about Isamu if Shinou hadn't made a distinguished coughing sound which kind of sounded like he was dying (that is if the dead/ half dead could die)
Ken looked up confused, like he had just woken up from a dream.
"So basically you've gone and fallen for that idiot" Shinou stated passively like he didn't care but murata saw fire burning in his eyes, shinou was angry, no jealous and murata felt oddly happy about it.
"I guess"
Everyone around the room had mixed expressions from Anger to something like a grieving expression as though they felt sorry for murata. "But it doesn't matter because its not like I'm going to see them again" Murata quickly reassured them.
"Murata" Yuuri paused "I'm not sure how to tell you this but …."
"Your boyfriend just tried to kill Yuu-chan a few days ago" Shori burst out angrily
Ken looked shocked "Why?"
"Ge-Ka, they're part of the sparrows, they were sent to kill the kid" Yozak said lightly, his attitude obviously changed towards murata when he realized that he had nothing to do with it.
"the sparrows, as in that underground organization, which wants to destroy Mazoku's?, the one which we've been investigating for a while now and its most likely to be run by a small human country" Murata asked looking around to see quite a few people nodding their heads "that's stupid, Isamu wouldn't be trying to kill Yuuri, he doesn't like fighting, much less manslaughter" he defended
"Well fact is he did .. so deal with it" Shori put in
" SHORI … Murata I would take you down to see him, I mean them but Gwendal says no one is allowed to go down there except Conrad, Yozak and Gwendal himself and I sort of agree with Gwendal , they were dangerous" Yuuri apologized
Gwendal on the other hand looked relieved that the young king actually listened to him.
"Oh… ok sure then" Ken agreed
"You're not going to … argue?" Shinou asked
"No there is no point in that anyway. If you don't mind I'd really like to get some sleep" Murata said quietly
Nobody protested as the sage walked slowly out the door.
"Well that went well" Cheri said quietly
"I'm going to go talk to him" Yuuri informed them
"Yuuri, just give him space wimp" Wolfram sighed " Just wait a bit"
"No , I won't wait because that's what got us into this mess, if I had just gone after murata in the first place then …"
"then he's be angrier" Shinou cut through " I know the sage and I know that he likes to think things through"
"yeah well no disrespect or anything but I know Murata Ken and I know that he needs someone to talk to, especially now… so I'm going to do what I should have done a while ago … I'm going to go talk to him"
And with that Yuuri left the room.
"Well that was interesting" yozak muttered
"I guess we'll just have to see how things play out" Shinou thought out loud "Well there's no need to be standing around here all day"
and with that everyone started to leave…
"Wait!" Gunter said finally speaking "When should we hold the party?"
"What party?" Gwendal asked his eyebrow's twitching
"Ge-ka's coming back party" Gunter replied as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I don't think this would be a good time…" Wolfram started
But Cheri had already stepped back into the room listing party ideas and themes.
"Well this will be amusing" Yozak smiled as he sat back down on one of the chairs
"This is going to be a long day" Gwendal muttered his hands making knitting movements
Omg … YAY …. I finally finished the chapter … yay me
So sorry it took to long, I've just been so confused with where I wanted this story and all my other stories to go, that I kind of put it off as well.
Anywayz
Please review guys and I won't promise anything but I will try to post something up within the next few weeks (I can't do it sooner because I have my school theater production to focus on)
