"Runaway? Stray? Demon Sword in Motion!" (Part 4)
Warm light streams gently though the windows of the west corridor of the Voltaire castle. The light gives the pinkish-purple coloured walls, a white tint to them. Footsteps can be heard walking down the corridor; stopping in front of a pair of wooden double doors, the colour of chocolate. Standing in front of the double doors is a nervous Gunter, holding a beige basket of strawberries. Talking a deep breath Gunter raises his closed fist and knocks on the doors. "Gwendal! Sorry to intrude. I brought you some strawberries. How about we have some tea together?" When no one answers he opens the doors, nearly dropping the basket in surprise.
Gunter couldn't believe what he's seeing; every shelf, table, sofa, the desk and even some places on the floor are covered with colourful knitted animals. In the middle of the cute colourful chaos is Gwendal sitting behind his desk, knitting another animal.
Gwendal stops knitting for a moment when Gunter enters his office, "Who said you could come in?" Gwendal mutters giving Gunter a deadly glare, for interrupting his knitting time.
Gunter smiles nervously backing up a step, "U…umm…I'm very sorry. However, um…I didn't know you knitted as a hobby." Gunter says calmly trying to calm Gwendal down.
A thin tread in Gwendal snaps at Gunter's careless comment, well careless in Gwendal's eyes, and squeezes the knitting needles in his hands tightly. "It's not a hobby! It's spiritual cleansing." He barks before taking a deep breath to calm himself. "By doing this, I can remove the evil from my spirit and become innocent," He explains to Gunter.
"So it's a stress reliever," Gunter thinks to himself with a smile on his face. "So it's spiritual cleansing, is it?" He falsely agrees as he looks around the room and spots a knitted pig on the shelf, which he thinks is pretty cute.
"Well, in any case, these are magnificent. That brown pig looks really cute." Gunter goes in for a compliment pointing to the pig on the shelf. Only jerk in surprise at Gwendal's glare, "U…Um, what is it?"
Gwendal's glare intensifies at Gunter feeling insulted; he looks from Gunter to the pig then back to Gunter, a drop of sweat running down his brow. "That's a bear!" He corrects Gunter feeling annoyed. To say Gunter is surprised is an understatement.
…At the coliseum; Yuuri's fight…
The audience cheers loudly trying to encourage the pair to kill each other. Yuuri stands there in shock staring wide eyed at, this rick kid. The armour he's wearing isn't the only thing weighing down on him anymore, as a sudden feeling of betrayal fills him. "Rick?" He questions in shock.
Rick scowls at Yuuri, "I remember you. You're that passenger." He states carelessly readying himself to fight. "I'm the only one going to leave this place alive," He thinks slightly fearful.
"Why are you here?" Yuuri asks desperately hoping that this is just some mistake. Rick sneers at Yuuri asking him the same, to which Yuuri replies with an annoyed, "Forget about me!"
Yuuri tries to come up with an idea as to why Rick is here, anything but Rick really being a criminal. An idea pops into his head, "Were you mistaken for a pirate? That ridiculous! Okay, I'll tell the office."
Yuuri to his face to look at the gate he came out of, "Hey! Mr Official…" He shouts but is interrupted when Rick charges at him, swinging his sword intending to cut Yuuri down.
Yuuri quickly moves out the way with a yelp, "Hold on! Let me finishes talking to them. You don't have to do as they tell you so faithfully!" Yuuri exclaims quickly holding 'Morgif' in front of him.
Rick turns around to face Yuuri sword at the ready. Yuuri freezes as soon as he sees Rick's mocking expression and the slightly insane glint in his eyes. "You're such a goody-goody as usual, sir," He sneers.
The feeling of betrayal Yuuri pushed down earlier starts to slowly reappear, along with the acceptance that Rick fooled him and is a criminal. Yuuri could remember the first time he met Rick; he looked like an innocent kid.
…FLASHBACK…
"Hey! Do you always hit your apprentice in the mornings?" Yuuri shouted angrily to the bulky sailor in front of him, his expression furious.
The said sailor turns his head to peer over his raised fist, ready to punch the boy again, "Shut up!" He shouted back at Yuuri. "U…Um, sir." He trailed off as he realized Yuuri is a passenger.
Conrad ran out of the archway and stops next Yuuri, "Sorry to create such an ugly scene, but he made a stupid mistake." The sailor stuttered as he looked back to the boy on the ground, who held a hand to his bruised cheek.
"Even so, you shouldn't…" Yuuri was interrupted by Conrad as he put a hand on Yuuri's shoulder, before he walked pass Yuuri and up to the sailor.
"It's annoying. You are ruining my master's mood." Conrad told the sailor as he walks up to him. Once he's close enough, he stuffed a bag of money into the sailor's hand to bribe him to leave the boy alone, for Yuuri's comfort.
The sailor caught on quickly and smiled at Conrad, "Thank you for this." Conrad used his head to tell the sailor to leave, which the sailor did hurriedly. The boy got up from the ground a grateful expression on his face; he bowed to both Yuuri and Conrad before he ran away.
…END OF FLASHBACK…
Yuuri looks at Rick who is now showing his true colours, "Don't tell me…" Yuuri trails off sadden by the fact Rick really is a criminal. Rick smirks at Yuuri, "It's not a mistake. I am one of the pirates. I sneaked on to that ship as an apprentice in order to guide my comrades." Rick laughs mockingly at the look on Yuuri's face.
"No way…" Yuuri whispers to himself, he really didn't want to believe it, but he has no choice too as Rick just admitted it. "You're lying, right? Because you are…" Yuuri says in denial but is interrupted by Rick.
"I'm also the one who told them you guys were in the private cabin," Rick mocks with a smirk still on his face. "When we met on deck, I was actually getting ready for the raid."
Yuuri suddenly has another flashback to the second time he met Rick again.
…FLASHBACK…
Yuuri ran away from the party after he loses his contact, only to bump into the boy from earlier. Yuuri let out a yelp when he fell to the floor, "Are you okay, sir?" Yuuri heard from beside him which caused him to look up.
Yuuri instantly recognized him from earlier, "You're the apprentice from this morning!"Yuuri exclaimed in surprise, as he pointed at the boy who was also on the floor.
"I'm terribly sorry. I didn't think anyone was around," The boy apologized to Yuuri as he bowed his head to Yuuri submissively before he looked up again.
"Don't worry. I was in a hurry," Yuuri said as he hoped to calm the boy. Yuuri suddenly remembered about his contact. "It dropped!" Yuuri muttered to himself.
Yuuri noticed the boy looked confused, "The contact from my eye." He explained to the boy, "Please help me find it!" Yuuri asked him.
The boy nodded his head 'yes' before he helped Yuuri to look. After a few minutes silence Yuuri tried to strick up a conversation.
"But having to be on watch at this hour…You must have it rough, Mr Apprentice," Yuuri said as he continued to look around. The boy just shook his head at Yuuri, "No. I'm happy." He replied to Yuuri.
Yuuri stopped for a moment to look at the boy, "Happy?" He questioned. The boy doesn't stop as Yuuri did as he explained himself, "Yes. On my first sail, I got to be on this amazing ship. I'm extremely happy."
Yuuri suddenly remembered something Conrad said to him, and stared more intensely at the boy. "But why?" He asks clueless as to why the boy's happy about his job, "This morning, you were…"
The boy interrupted him, "It was my fault. I accidently took the ladder down." Yuuri still didn't get it and said, "But you were punched in the face."
The boy stopped and looked at Yuuri, "Everyone is like that during an apprenticeship." The boy smiles to Yuuri happily, "One day I want to be able to pilot a big ship like this." The boy and Yuuri looked to the main mass of the ship.
"Huh! Sir?" The boy called to Yuuri and caught Yuuri's attention. Yuuri looked to the boy in confusion, "There's a shining object on your chest." The boy informed him.
Yuuri looked down to his chest and spotted his missing contact lens, "My contact lens." Yuuri exclaimed happily and started to laugh; the boy followed him and laughed too.
The boy noticed how late it was got and jumped up once he had calmed down, "I have to go back to work before I get into trouble." The boy ran pass Yuuri but shouted over his shoulder, "I'm Rick by the way."
Yuuri sat there on the ground a smile on his face as he watched the boy leave.
…END OF FLASHBACK…
Rick charges at Yuuri sword in the air and Yuuri raises 'Morgif' quickly. Their swords clash, metal on metal, with an ear piercing squeak, as they rub together when Rick steps closer to Yuuri. "Listen! There're a lot of things I want to talk to you about, but for now, how about if we combine forces in order to escape from here?" Yuuri says in desperation not wanting to hurt Rick even though Rick betrayed him.
Noticing the confusion in Rick's eyes Yuuri elaborates, "If we fight until time is up, we'll both be saved, right?" Confusion takes way to pity in Rick's eyes at Yuuri native thinking. Oh how Rick wishes Yuuri is right and everything will be fine at the end, but he knows life isn't like that. "So we should kill some time together," Yuuri finishes quickly hoping against all hope that Rick will agree.
Rick mental shakes his head getting rid of that thought and scowls mockingly, as the pity is replaced with anger. "Don't be ridiculous!" Rick exclaims surprising Yuuri.
"But the old lady said…" Yuuri is interrupted by Rick who's finally fed up with Yuuri's nativity, and innocent approach to the harsh problem that is life. "You're the only one who would be saved! When the time is up, I will be executed!"
Yuuri couldn't believe what he just heard, he is in shock. The audience cheer louder starting to get rowdy, when the pair doesn't move keeping their swords locked. The guarding archers on the wall surrounding the arena, ready their bows to kill Rick if they stop fighting. "Criminals have only one way to be saved. That's to win the match, which means I must kill you!" Rick screams the last part putting all his strength behind his sword, and pushes on Yuuri's sword forcing Yuuri backwards.
Rick charges at Yuuri and once again their swords clash, but this time Yuuri fights back. Over and over again their swords cross; the sound of steel vibrating throughout the arena. Each time it happens 'Morgif lets out a loud moan.
Their swords clash again and stay crossed, sparks flying as 'Morgif' for some reason becomes agitated moaning and groaning continuingly. "Shut up!" Yuuri snaps at 'Morgif'.
Rick suddenly lifts his sword off Yuuri's causing him to look at Rick questioningly. That is until Rick catches him off guard, by swinging for him again. Yuuri runs to hide behind a huge pillar shouting out for Josak, Conrad, Ryuu and Wolfram. Yuuri jumps back with a yelp as Rick swings at him, "Why is nobody here at a time like this?" Yuuri moans in self-pity.
Up in the stands with the audience the people around Wolfram, Josak and Ryuu, have moved away from them in fear for their lives as Wolfram is holding down Ryuu, who has tried to kill Josak at least three times; said man is on the floor of the stands holding his throat, blue in the face, his breathing just going back to normal. Also Ryuu has tried to jump into the arena, to save his cute Yuu-chan twice before Wolfram grabbed him. "Let go of me! I won't kill him; just rough him up a bit…." Ryuu exclaims as he stops struggling in Wolfram's arms, pausing a second before shouting, "Then I'll kill him!" He begins to struggle again as Wolfram starts wondering why he's friends with these two idiots.
Down in the arena Rick swings at Yuuri but when Yuuri jumps away, Rick's sword gets stuck in the stone pillar. "His eyes show nothing I say will get to him," Yuuri thinks as he stares into his opponents eyes. "For now I need to stop him." With that thought Yuuri readies 'Morgif' his eyebrows drawn together in concentration.
Yuuri looks down to 'Morgif's' face, "I know you haven't fully revived yet, but Morgif, don't you have any special moves or something?" He thinks to himself not knowing 'Morgif' could actually hear him.
Yuuri holds out the sword in front of him shouting 'Morgif punch' but of course, with Yuuri's luck nothing happens. Rick just stares at Yuuri as if he's insane. Yuuri then shouts 'Morgif kick' hoping for something to happen and again nothing does happen. For some reason Yuuri strikes a strange flying pose as he shouts 'Morgif wing' and like the times before, nothing happens much to Yuuri's disappointment.
"What the hell are you blabbering?!" Rick shouts at Yuuri as he unsticks his sword from the pillar, and readies it to swing at Yuuri again.
Yuuri glares in annoyance at his sword, hissing, "Morgif!" Suddenly Yuuri feels something strange flow his body. Again Yuuri feels the strange sensation and begins running away from Rick.
Rick chases after Yuuri shouting, "You're a Mazoku, right? If I kill you, I will gain recognition! That way, I may be able to live a normal life! I can start over!"
Yuuri stops suddenly and turns to face Rick breathing heavily, and the two glares at each other. Yuuri whisper 'What can I do' to himself as Rick swings at him, with the intention to kill. "Just do…What I can do!" Yuuri screams it like a war cry as he too swings at Rick.
The audience goes quiet, Rick's eyes widen in surprise before falling to the ground holding his stomach. Yuuri had swung his sword like a baseball bat and hit Rick in the stomach, with the flat side of the blade while saying, "Come back, goodbye, homerun!"(1)
Yuuri's whole body slumps tiredly as he lowers his sword, forgetting all about that strange sensation from before. "Whatever. That swing would probably be a foul or a tip ball," He sighs before Rick's whimpering catches his attention.
Yuuri looks down at his feet at Rick, "Sorry, I'm not a master swordsman who can hold back." He apologises to Rick sincerely and holds up his sword showing Rick it's blunt, "As you can see, this is a blunt sword. It won't kill unless I sharpen it more. But it looks like I was able to knock you down at least."
Rick glares at Yuuri from the ground, "Kill me!" He shouts at Yuuri only to whimper and hold onto his stomach tighter. Yuuri once again tries to save Rick's life staring at him hopefully, "We still have some time. Let's run now."
This scene catches the attention of the trio up top. All three stare at Yuuri with a different expression on their faces; Josak's expression is of guilt for making Yuuri go through this, Wolfram's expression is of anger at the whole situation, and last Ryuu's expression is of overwhelming sadness as he knows what's about to happen. Ryuu still being held by Wolfram tightens his hold on his cane, as he holds back his tears.
Yuuri kneels down in front of Rick picking up Rick's sword, his own resting on his shoulder. "You still have a chance. You need to do what you can do." Yuuri states it like a fact trying to get through to Rick. It does slowly.
The crowd go wild screaming and shouting angrily. One old man shouts out, "Hurry up and fight!" This causes Yuuri to stand after putting Rick's sword down next to him.
"What is wrong with you people?! What's so fun about this?!" Yuri screams at them but is drowned out. Noticing this Yuuri gives up on them and turns to Rick, holding out his hand to help him up. "Come. Let's go, rick," Yuuri offers.
Rick stares at a smiling Yuuri in disbelief before taking his hand. Yuuri smiles brighter thinking he saved Ricks life, until Rick's eyes widen and he falls to the side showing a blank faced Yuuri the arrow buried in his back. The audience has gone silent once again.
Anger, sadness, frustration, disbelief and many more emotions take over Yuuri, as he faces the way the arrow came from and sees one of the archers arrowless. "Why? Why did you do that? We still have time! Is it because I won't kill him? Even so, this…You don't have to go this far! Who was it? Who was it that shot that arrow?! Don't just stand there, answer me!" Yuuri rants angrily to vent out his over flowing sadness.
No one answer, "Then I will…" But Yuuri is distracted by that strange sensation again, flowing through his body. "Oh…oh no, my mind will go elsewhere again," He thinks as he holds a hand to his head, now recognizing the sensation to be his Maoh side trying to take over. "I will become the Maoh again."
The audience starts up again, this time they want Yuuri to die. Suddenly the old man who shouted out before, holds both hands over where his heart is; expression showing pain. A women standing next to him screams catching Yuuri attention. 'Morgif' moans and groans loudly but happily, displaying his want for the food that's close by. 'Morgif' moans louder and louder till suddenly a blue-white ball shoots out of the old man's mouth, and over to 'Morgif' who eats it. The old man falls over dead.
"Hey! Morgif what was that? You can't pick up weird things and eat them! Spit it out! Spit it out!" Yuuri lectures his sword shaking him slightly.
Everyone in the coliseum is panicking, some screaming other's fainting. "Oh no, the old man is…" Someone shouts from near the old man. "He had a heart attack!" Another exclaims. "It's because he came here, despite being a 112yrs old," A young girl whimpers.
Yuuri looks at the old man then at 'Morgif' as he realizes what happened, "Don't tell me…Don't tell me you absorbed that old man's life?" A gem in the middle of 'Morgif's' forehead glows an icy blue, glowing brighter and brighter.
"Idiot! If you activate here…Let's see, what happens if Morgif activates?" Yuuri scolds as a picture of a tornado appears in his head. "In any case, not here!"
'Morgif' just glows brighter, so bright that Yuuri has to screw his eyes shut; holding 'Morgif' over his head. The brighter icy blue light disappears but the gem still glows; 'Morgif' then opens his mouth and a golden beam of light shoots into the sky, growing bigger until it becomes a tornado just without the destroying everything part.
"What are you releasing out of your mouth?" Yuuri shouts trying to be heard over the wind. "Don't tell me because you ate after having an empty stomach for almost fifteen years, you've developed gastritis?!"
"Oh no, that's the demon sword! That boy is a Makzoku!" Someone from the audience cries out in alarm. The audience run in fear for their lives. The archers try to shoot him but can't because of the wind.
Ryuu stands there, cane in hand, seemingly unaffected by the wind as it tugs his hair and clothes in all directions, or the massive amount of power being displayed by 'Morgif'. In fact he wasn't bothered at all as he knew, this isn't even half of 'Morgif's' power. The other two on the other hand are crouching down with their arms over their heads.
Ryuu hears Yuuri's name being shouted so he turns his head to the right facing the entrance of the coliseum, to see Conrad running into the arena straight for Yuuri. "Conrad!" Yuuri says in relief once he sees him; he turns to face Conrad accidentally bringing the sword down as he turns, and Conrad gets blasted with the golden tornado of light.
Conrad holds his arms in front of his face with his eyes closed. "Stop Morgif! I said, stop!" Yuuri shouts once Conrad is blown off his feet, sliding along the floor a little before stopping. "STOP!" He cries it like another war cry.
Yuuri jerks when he hears something or someone telepathically talking to him, "Call my name?" Yuuri repeats in a whisper. He hears it again and repeats it, "If you call my name, I will do what I can. My name is…Mullem Desoive Eligh Morgif."
Yuuri swings his sword down so the blade hits the ground, "If you're going to vomit, do so in a bag!" He exclaims angrily, glaring at 'Morgif' who finally closed his mouth stopping the golden tornado.
Everything is eerily silent as the people who stayed stares at Yuuri, along with Conrad who's getting back on his feet, Wolfram and Josak who are now standing and Ryuu who's speed walking down the stairs, and to Yuuri; his cane making the normal tapping sound, which is slightly muffled once he's on the dirt ground of the arena.
Conrad and Ryuu stop in front of a tired and relieved Yuuri, "Are you okay, Conrad, Ryuu?" Yuuri asks in concern for his close friends.
"I'm fine Yuu-chan and so are Wolfram and Josak," Ryuu smiles at Yuuri in reassurance. "Yes, but what magic did you just use?" Conrad asks also with a smile of reassurance.
Yuuri sighs, "Let's talk later. For now take Rick." Conrad does as asked and goes to pick up Rick. Yuuri then notices the old women he talked to earlier; he walks up to Conrad, Ryuu following behind, "Conrad, money…do you have any money?"
Conrad shakes his head 'no' while Ryuu takes out a medium sized leather pouch, and places it Yuuri's hand. Yuuri smiles nodding to Ryuu in thanks; walking to the old women he stops and tries to hand her the money. "I don't know if this will be enough, but…" He stops when the old women screams at him, "I won't take money from Mazoku! You brought that demon sword with you, in order to destroy us humans, didn't you?" Yuuri's expression falls.
Ryuu stands there watching Yuuri and the old women, "I suddenly remember why I use to hate humans so much; therefore making Morgif." Ryuu thinks as Conrad calls to Yuuri holding Rick bridal style.
"Yuuri, let's hurry. Wolfram and Josak should have prepared our escape and are waiting for us." Yuuri stares sadly at the women placing the money on the ground. With one last saddened look Yuuri, Conrad carrying Rick and Ryuu run out of the coliseum, the old women shouting about making an even more powerful weapon, and into town where Josak and Wofram are waiting. Once dressed into the van da via island guard uniforms they dropped Rick off at the nearest physician, and left him there after paying the doctor's fee.
Everyone moves out of the groups once they notice the uniform, "So where are we going?" Yuuri asks as he runs. It is Conrad who replies pointing in front of him, "There!"
There at the dock is what can only be described as a, small version of a cruise ship. On the deck of the ship stands a beautiful, busty woman waving, with curling yellow-blonde hair and emerald green eyes; name Cecilie von Spitzwegformer 26th maoh of Shin Makoku. Ryuu couldn't believe what she is wearing, on any one else it would look horrible but she could pull it off; a long black dress with a deep v-cut neckline, and a slit up the side stopping at the top of her hip.
"Your majesty! Long time no see! Please come quickly!" Cecilie shouts over to the group happily. "Somehow, all the anxiety just went away…" Yuuri says sighing.
…On the ship; sun setting…
"That boy's wound isn't life threatening," Conrad reassures Yuuri as they sit in the living room of the ship. Conrad sits on the left of the huge u-shaped sofa, Wolfram on the right with Yuuri while and Cecilia is in the middle clinging to Ryuu, who she hasn't let go of since she saw him.
…An hour earlier…
"Ah! Your majesty, I missed you!" Cecilia wrapped her arms around Yuuri in a bear-hug, Yuuri's head rested in-between her huge breasts his face bright red.
Wolfram seethed with anger and jealousy; hands in fists he marched over a grabbed Yuuri's collar and pulled him out of his mother's arms. "YOU CHEATER! AND OF ALL THE PEOPLE, IT'S MY MOTHER! Listen! It's true that you're good-looking, but no matter how cute you are if I see you in her arms again, I'LL KILL YOU!"
Wolfram was panting heavily by the time he finished; Yuuri waved his hands in front of him with a sweat drop, and tried to calm Wolfram down. The others just looked on with sweat drops also; Ryuu tried not to laugh but failed and let a small chuckle pass his lips.
The husky sound caught Cecilia's attention; her heart jumped slightly in her breast, which caused her to look for the maker of the sound. Then she saw him, Ryuu Murata, stood next to Conrad with a small smirk on his face as he leaned on his cane, more than normal so he can rest his leg and watched the scene before him play out. "He's a dark god," She thought her hands clasped together with hearts in her eyes.
She ran to him arms out straight, once near him she jumped on him which caused him to let out a yelp of surprise, as they fell to the floor. The others whipped their heads round at the noise; they stared in dumbfounded amusement at the scene before them. Cecilia and Ryuu were on the floor Cecilia had her arms wrapped tightly around Ryuu's waist, with her head on his chest almost purring in satisfaction as the slight muscles of his torso tensed at her touch. Ryuu on the other hand had an awkward expression on his face; eyes pleaded to the others for help.
…back to the present…
"I can't relax here," Mumbles Ryuu trying to push Cecilia off his arm without seemly cold. Cecilia finally lets go of Ryuu, much to his relief, to face Yuuri asking, "It's been awhile your majesty, so anyway how have you been with my son? Any progress?"
Yuuri blushes in embarrassment, a shaky smile on his lips as he waves his hands franticly in front of him. "P…progress?! No progress!" He denies quickly, the smile on Cecilia's face disappears, "Oh my! How disappointing!"
A flirty smile reappears on her lips, "So then that means I still have a chance…" She moves her face an inch or two away from Yuuri's and whispers seductively, "Right, your majesty?"
Yuuri blanches as Wolfram jumps up angrily calling 'mother' while glaring into her back. Conrad and Ryuu look to each other and smiles; Ryuu quickly but calmly stops Wolfram from raging into another rant, by asking Cecilia a question that's been on his mind since the boat set off. "Not to be rude Cecilia, but why are you here?"
Cecilia turns to face Ryuu intending on answering but Wolfram beat her to it, "During her free and easy holiday for love, she coincidently passed by here." Wolfram slumps his shoulders tiredly; Cecilia on the other hand looks mighty proud about her quest for love.
Suddenly her expression turns flirty again looking from Ryuu to Yuuri, "I need to prepare, your majesty's and Ryuu-sama's bed." Wolfram's body jerks at his mother's statement and glares at her, once again calling out 'mother' in annoyance.
"On this ship, I have extra-territorial rights." She declares smugly. Oh how she loves to tease her little boy, he's so cute when he's angry. Yuuri, Conrad and Ryuu watch as the scene unfolds before them; Yuuri suddenly feeling really uncomfortable, Conrad finding it funny and Ryuu well he fears that his body might be violated.
Conrad remembers he has business with Josak and gets up to leave, but before he could Ryuu stops him by the arm. "It's Josak, isn't it?" He asks Conrad quietly. Conrad looks blankly at Ryuu before nodding a yes, "Then I'm coming too, I need to talk to him as well." With that said Ryuu grabs his cane and follows Conrad out the room, and into the corridor not noticing Yuuri has seen them leave.
They only get two doors down from the room, when Josak rounds the corner and leans against window the sun setting behind him. "What were you thinking?" Conrad demands to Josak angrily.
Josak has a smug smile on his lips, one which gives Ryuu an urge to punch off. "About what?" Josak questions as if he did nothing wrong, pissing Ryuu and Conrad off even more.
"I know Wolfram can barely read humans' writings, but you should be able to read and understand humans' writings well enough." Conrad hisses in annoyance.
"It went well, didn't it?" Josak defends himself, "We got the demon sword, and if we prevent war, his majesty's popularity will increase." He says carelessly with a shrug of his shoulders.
Ryuu decides to intervene, "Your way is wrong!" He exclaims trying to keep his temper in check; Josak and Conrad now looking at him. "How so?" Josak asks looking amused.
"Do you truly think that everything will be fine if we leave everything to that boy?" Josak questions them both sharply. "We can take taxes from the villagers, that way his majesty can relax."
Ryuu's face turns red with anger, "His name is Yuuri, not boy and how can you even think of trying to control Yuu-chan! I should have killed you at van da via island, but I knew it would upset Conrad and Yuu-chan!" Ryuu snaps in calm anger.
Josak looks shocked at Ryuu's anger, "You guys are trying to do the same thing as Stoffel. (2)" Conrad states in disgust at his friends actions, making Josak look into his glaring eyes. "You guys are trying to make the new Maoh commit the same mistakes as the previous Maoh, Cecilia, did!"
"You're wrong. Her mistake wasn't because she couldn't rule. She made the mistake of choosing to wrong person to rely on." Josak calmly replies to Conrad's accusation.
Ryuu steps closer to Josak an expression so calm it's eerie, but if you look into his eyes you could a blazing fire. "No matter what kind of sick, underhanded tricks you guys come up with against Yuu-chan, Conrad and I won't let him become your mindless puppet."
Josak hides the suddenly feeling of fear at Ryuu's expression, by sighing in annoyance. "Both of you still don't get it. We're looking out for the b…Yuuri in our own way."
Conrad steps up stopping beside Ryuu, "At the point when anything like that occurs, and Yuuri is in danger, consider that your loss of life." Conrad promises surprising Josak with the intensity of it, let alone that he made it.
Sadness fills Josak knowing that his old friend is choosing the boy over him. Ryuu senses someone behind him; peering carefully over his shoulder he sees Yuuri eave dropping on their heated conversations. "I will speak with Gwendal." Conrad tells Josak as he starts to walk away.
"But even if he looks like that, that b…Yuuri is pretty good," Josak puts out carelessly. Conrad stops at the door with Ryuu beside him.
"Everyone knows that, except for himself," Conrad states everyone but Ryuu ignorant to the fact Yuuri heard everything.
…Night time on the ship; Ryuu's bedroom…
After the conversation between the three of them, and the ship stopping at an unknown island Ryuu went to bed, it wasn't more than two hours later when Wolfram burst into his bedroom. "Where is that cheater?! He should have been back by now! There's an emergency!" Wolfram growls to a half asleep Ryuu. Suddenly Wolfram's face turns bright red with blush, stumbling into the doorframe; sitting up in bed with the covers bunched around his waist, stretching his arms in the air above him as he yawns is a naked Ryuu. The slight muscles of his lean naked torso tenses as he stretches, before relaxing as his arms fall into his naked but covered lap.
Ryuu's bottomless black eyes glare at Wolfram from under his long black lashes filled with dark intent, his messy wavy black bed hair giving him an untamed wild look. Slowly with predatory grace never taking his eyes off Wolfram, Ryuu pushes back the red covers and stands showing off all his pale naked glory.
Wolfram's eyes widen in awe of him, unable to look away from his…erm…cock even though he knows he should. A raspy growl from Ryuu makes Wolfram snap his head up to Ryuu's face. Ryuu's stalks towards Wolfram, knowing he's naked but ignoring it, with dark purpose radiating from him in waves.
Once close enough Ryuu places his left arm on the doorframe above Wolfram and leans on it; his face, now nose to nose with Wolfram, stares at him for a second. He moves his head so his lips are beside Wolfram's ear, fluttering gently over it in an intimate gesture as he speaks huskily, "No, my dear Wolfram. Have you tried the island we have stopped at? Hmmm?"
Wolfram yelps and throws himself backwards into the corridor as Ryuu blows in his ear. His face is flushed it's brightest causing Ryuu to chuckle and stand straight, "Wait for me dear, I'll go with you." Ryuu tells him as all Wolfram does is glare heatedly at him, while rubbing his tingling ear. Ryuu gives off one last chuckle before closing the door to take a bath to wake him-self up more and get dressed, "I'm going to have to apologize to Wolfram." Ryuu thinks once he's full awake and dressed.
…Unknown island beach…
As they walk along the beach in search of Yuuri, Ryuu apologizes to Wolfram for his behaviour on the ship. Of course Wolfram forgave him after Ryuu explained his actions, not before telling Ryuu he owns him a favour now; to which Ryuu groans because it's Wolfram and who knows what he'll want. Wolfram then explains why he is looking for Yuuri apparently while Ryuu was asleep, Cecilia had done something to 'Morgif' and now he's sick. "I thought I felt something strange earlier, now I know I did," Ryuu thinks feeling concern for poor 'Morgif'.
It's Wolfram who spots Yuuri with Conrad near the sea edge, standing quite close to each other. His normal emotions of jealousy and anger soon appear, causing him to run towards the pair thinking of ways to kill Yuuri if he's cheating. "What are you two doing here?!"
Yuuri and Conrad turn to look behind them, spotting a panting angry Wolfram and a smirking Ryuu. "Wolfram," Yuuri says in surprise.
"I was wondering why you weren't back yet. Now I see you two are being intimate on a beach! What were you two doing?!" Wolfram hisses while Ryuu stands beside him looking amused at the scene, but his concern for 'Morgif' stays.
Yuuri looks confused as to why Wolfram is angry, "What? Callisthenics. (3)" He replies as if it wasn't a problem, well it wasn't but to a jealous Wolfram it is.
It is Conrad's turn to speak up, "And you…you're out of breath. Did you run here?" Ryuu chuckles into his fist at Wolfram's pout, resisting the urge to tease him about looking like a girl.
Wolfram them remembers why he is looking for Yuuri, it shows clearly across his face. "Ah! That's right, Yuuri. It's an emergency! Morgif is…! Morgif is…!" He couldn't finish his sentence.
Ryuu did it for him, "Morgif is sick Yuu-chan. Apparently Cecilia did something; I'm not quite sure as I was sleeping at the time, to Morgif. So I think it's time to come back to the ship, don't you?"
Yuuri and Conrad look to each other in concern and runs back to the ship, Wolfram and Ryuu not far behind them.
…Back on the ship…
They are back on the ship in record time, Wolfram leading them into the living room from earlier. The group charge through the door like a herd of wildebeests, Ryuu nearly crashing into Yuuri who has stopped dead at the sight of a very sick 'Morgif'.
Noticing this Ryuu gives Yuuri a small push on his back, guiding him to the table in the middle of the room 'Morgif' is lying on. Soon everyone is crowding round, Cecilia and Josak included, staring at 'Morgif' who's moaning in pain. "I'm sorry, your majesty. It was so unusual. So I thought I'd have a look at it," Cecilia explains taking a deep breath she finishes, "I went to get it, and then…he bit my hand." Cecilia held up her hand showing them the bite mark.
Everyone grimaces pulling a sour face, everyone but Ryuu who looks like he wants to dismantle 'Morgif'. Ryuu grits his together to keep from shouting at the sword, "He did it again, now look he's sick! I give up telling him not to do it!" Ryuu thinks angrily.
Conrad looks at his mother in slight concern, "Is your hand numb, at all?" Cecilia answer with a quiet 'no' and a shake of her head.
"But I was so surprised and I dropped him, and then he lost his energy. I think it may be because this thing fell out." Cecilia held up her hand; into between her thumb and middle finger is a purple-black gem, the gem from out of 'Morgif's' forehead.
"Ah! So that's what happened. No wonder he's sick! Poor Morgif he'll be fine, once he gets used no having his normal power source." Ryuu thinks with a nod of his head.
Yuuri looks more closely at the gem than anyone, trying to recognize it. "This is?" Yuuri wonders out loud catching everyone's attention. Ryuu then decided to step in seeing how everyone will know who he is, when they get back to Voltaire castle.
"That Yuu-chan," He begins causing the group to look at him puzzled, excluding Conrad and Josak as they figured Ryuu might know something. "Is the black spirit jewel that was inside Morgif's forehead, took me forever to make that." He explains to Yuuri mumbling the last part to him-self quietly.
The group stands there in shock all having the same thought, except for two, "How the hell did he know that?" Ryuu notices their shock but says nothing and looks at 'Morgif' creating an awkward silence. Conrad tries to think of something to say, in hopes of breaking the silence that now covers the room.
Conrad clears his throat loudly successfully breaking the silence, "If I remember correctly, when he went wild, this was shining." They all now stare at 'Morgif' noticing he didn't seem as sick as before.
Wolfram turns to look at Conrad, back to 'Morgif' and then to Ryuu seeing how he knows so much about 'Morgif'. "So, this is the source of its power?" The look on Yuuri's face changes from concern to concentration, at Wolfram's question. Lots sudden ideas on what he could do with that jewel, comes to mind as he remembers a part of his conversation with Conrad on the beach.
… twenty minutes earlier…
Yuuri and Conrad stood on the sea edge talking about, responsibility, power and 'Morgif'. The expression on Yuuri's face expressed sadness and slight self-loathing as Yuuri started to rant, "That lady's words really got to me! She said that the humans will create an even stronger weapon. Can that really happen?"
Conrad looked at Yuuri sadly, "It's possible." Conrad informs him the look on Yuuri face was heart breaking to Conrad, as he continued to listen to Yuuri's ranting. "Then other nations will want that. I'm thinking that if we bring Morgif back, in return, the world may go crazy. Of course, if I bring Morgif back, my popularity may increase, but I'm thinking that's just for my own satisfaction. So…So…I'm thinking of leaving Morgif on the island."
Yuuri paused for a few seconds and waited for Conrad to shout at him, for being an idiot. When that didn't happen he looked up to see Conrad smiling at him. "Are you mad?" He asked Conrad with a sheepish smile.
…Back to the present…
Cecilia notices Yuuri staring hard at the jewel; she takes it the wrong way. "See? Even you're mesmerized by the jewel! Anyone would like to touch it!" Cecilia exclaims happily with a smile. She jerks in surprise when Yuuri suddenly snatchers the jewel from her hand, glaring at it.
Yuuri nods his head as he comes to a final decision turning to look to the left of him, "Josak, I will leave this jewel to you." Yuuri announces holding the jewel out to Josak, surprising the hell out of everyone in the room; especially Josak who didn't know what to do or say to Yuuri's sudden announcement.
Ryuu and Conrad look at each knowingly; both remembering sensing Yuuri ease dropping on their conversation with Josak, before looking back at Yuuri smiling well in Ryuu case smirking. Both of them feeling like proud fathers/brothers, at how much Yuuri had now grown in such a short amount of time.
Josak stares dumbfounded at Yuuri unsure of what to do, "I want you to throw this jewel away where nobody will ever find it." Yuuri tells him, no demands of him.
Of course Wolfram didn't like the sound of that, and has to say something about it. "Why, Yuuri? It's the power source of the demon sword you worked hard to get!"
Cecilia then throws in her opinion, thinking of all the lovely things that could be made from that jewel. "That's right, your majesty, I think it would make a great earring."
The noise level in the room grows louder and louder; Wolfram now arguing with his mother on what should be done with the jewel. Ryuu could tell by the expression on Yuuri's face that he's getting annoyed, with being ignored and his idea being questioned. Ryuu in what seemly looks like an act of kindness, but really he's annoyed with the arguing, slams his black cane onto the wooden table; everyone jumps at the sudden noise and turns towards where it came from.
"Silence! Yuu-chan is your Maoh, correct?" Everyone nods a stiff yes too scared to even move, "Then it is Yuu-chan who decides on what happens to the jewel; seeing as though Morgif belongs to him, concluding that the jewel belongs to him also as it's a part of Morgif, right?" Again everyone nods, "Then listen to him, NOW!" Ryuu finishes shouting the last word.
Conrad places a hand on Ryuu's shoulder giving it a slight squeeze, as Yuuri sweat-drops but shoots Ryuu a thankful look. Conrad walks to Josak's side once Ryuu has calmed down some, takes the jewel from Yuuri's hand and gives it to Josak. Yuuri smiles at Josak encouragingly; Josak staring straight into Yuuri's eyes trying to find something.
Whatever Josak is looking for he must have found it because he starts to speak, "Are you sure? What would you do if I sold this to a foreign country? And if I were to return this to the country, and give it to somebody other than you…"
Yuuri interrupts him with a mischievous smirk now on his lips, "To Gwendal? If you believe that is in Shin Makoku's best interest, then do so." Yuuri pauses for a second the smirk now gone, brows drawing together, "However…I chose you. Don't let my choice of person to trust be a mistake."
Ryuu could tell that Yuuri is doing all this to prove to Josak, that he could be a great ruler for Shin Makoku. Watching the two have an intense staring match, he could see an unbreakable bond beginning to form; Yuuri gaining other very loyal companion and ally. Conrad who also notices it, smiles happily knowing his close friend and godson now trust each other. The other two know something's happening but doesn't know what, well Cecilia has an inkling she not as stupid as people think.
Josak chuckles under his breath, eyes softening into understanding and smiles. "As you wish, king Yuuri." With those simple five words Josak has accepted Yuuri as his king, making Conrad and Ryuu let alone Yuuri's face break out into a huge smile.
…Morning; the group has arrived at Voltaire castle…
The group is dropped off at the docks where five horses are waiting for them. Cecilia chocks Yuuri and Ryuu in a dead-hug crying as she didn't want them to leave; Wolfram throwing his normal jealous fit over her hugging Yuuri. The group waits until Cecilia has left waving her on her way, before they leave to head to the castle.
Once at Voltaire castle the horses are put away in the stables; Josak saying he has to take the sword to Gwendal and Gunter leaves after saying goodbye. Yuuri, Conrad, Wolfram and Ryuu are walking down the open-air corridor heading to Gwendal's office, when they hear running footsteps coming from in front of them. A blur of white and greyish-purple launches itself at Ryuu nearly knocking him down to the ground.
"Gunter!" Ryuu yelps in surprise his face turning slightly red with blush, as Gunter latches himself onto Ryuu's waist; his head bowed nuzzling into Ryuu's chest.
"Ah! The feeling of his lean figure in my arms is so…so soothing; I can hear his heart beating loudly. Is he affected by this? By me? Oh! My sweet Ryuu how I wish that is true." Gunter thinks to himself sighing contently, as his mind goes blank for a moment when he breaths in Ryuu's musky old books and mint scent, that wraps itself around Gunter calming him.
Ryuu looks to the others for help pleading with his eyes; they just look on greatly amused. Ryuu sighs looking down at Gunter, "It's nice to see you too, Gunter." Ryuu pats Gunter on the head in an awkward fashion.
Gunter sighs at the feeling of Ryuu's touch, "My sweet Ryuu, your majesty." Gunter begins as Ryuu mouths 'My sweet Ryuu' to Yuuri in confusion over Gunter's head, "I'm so glad you've come back safe and well." Gunter starts to cry just thinking about his sweet Ryuu being hurt.
Ryuu glares at his companions but the look in his eyes, is pleading for help again once Gunter starts crying. Yuuri steps up to help him, "Gunter, your nose is running." Yuuri informs a now calming down Gunter.
Gunter sniffs back more tears letting go of Ryuu reluctantly, "My apologies." He dabs his eyes with a handkerchief from his side pocket. Gunter sighs one last time putting away his handkerchief, knowing it's time to get down to business. "There were writings on the back of Morgif: 'Say my name and you will go beyond your limits. My name is Mullem Desoive Eligh Morgif. Even…" He trails off when he hears someone saying it with him.
"… if the jewel on my forehead is lost, and even if my body becomes weak; I am the Maoh's loyal servant, and I will fight on the battlefield." Ryuu continues as Gunter trails off in surprise. Everyone is now staring at him all with different expressions; Yuuri…frustrated surprise, Conrad…understanding, Wolfram…suspicion, and lastly Gunter…bewilderment.
"How did you know that?" Wolfram demands as he places his hand on the top of his sword. Ryuu and Conrad share a knowing look, making Gunter jealous of their closeness. "Ryuu-kun, how…why…" Yuuri tries to ask his tone hinting at his frustration.
Ryuu sighs in defeat, "If I am to explain myself, I need Gwendal here as well. So why don't we go to his office, yes?" Everyone says nothing but follows Ryuu to Gwendal's office. The only thing heard in the open-air corridor, is the tapping sound of Ryuu's black cane on the stone flooring.
…Gwendal's office…
To say Gwendal is surprised when they turn up in his office, is an understatement of the century; if he has to be honest he's more annoyed, than surprised. It's lucky for Gwendal that he decided to use his second office today, not his first one which is filled with his knitted animals.
Gwendal could feel the tension in the room weighting on his shoulders. He laces his hands together leaning forward on his desk, with a frown covering his face. "So, would anyone like to tell me what's going on?" Gwendal demands breaking the silence; the tense atmosphere dropping slightly.
Wolfram sits beside Yuuri, who's sitting on the sofa on the left side of the room, glaring at Ryuu; Conrad stands behind them both giving Ryuu a sympathetic smile. Ryuu sits on the sofa on the right side of the room, with Gunter sitting beside him. Everyone in the room stares at him waiting for him to explain himself.
"Well, first I would like to apologise for not saying anything beforehand. I was being quite selfish with wanting to keep my freedom a little longer, before Gwendal found out who I was and locked me in his castle, piling me with paper work." That got a laugh from everyone besides Gwendal whose frown deepens, and shoots a glare at Ryuu. The tension in the room disappears completely; Ryuu breathing a sigh of relief looks to Gunter out the corner of his eye, when he feels Gunter squeeze his hand in a comforting gesture.
"Where to begin...?" Ryuu wonders, "Well I'm going to be blunt with you all. Since I was sent to earth; Japan my soul has been reincarnated many times through the 4000 years since Shinou's time. I was last here in this world and Shin Makoku 4000yrs ago; I was a completely different person then. I was the twin brother to Daikenja or by the name you all know him as, the great sage. Daikenja and I were also half-brothers to the original Maoh Shinou, a fact that was rarely known; only our mother, Shinou's father, and later Shinou's wife and son knew, and thankfully never said anything. I can tell by your expressions that you've already guess who I was; I went by the name Rikiya or dragon warrior of Shin Makoku."
The room is silent as everyone, beside Conrad, stares at Ryuu in complete and utter awe; even our normal blank faced Gwendal. Ryuu sits there letting what he's said so far sink into the heads. "Would you like me to continue?" Ryuu directs this questions to a flabbergasted Gunter mostly; everyone shakes their heads 'yes' quickly wanting to know more.
"Well get comfortable then this may take a while. Ok! Let's see then, are yes here's something. As you know from the history books I'm sure; I was Daikenja's bodyguard and because he was always with Shinou, I unofficially became Shinou's as well. Erm…I'm sure you also know that I was with them in the war; right by their side when they sealed Soushu and created Shin Makoku, which was how I got my dragon title. Ah! Here's something you won't know; you can see I have a limp in my left leg. Well when I was fighting Soushu, I gained an injury to my left leg nearly rendering it useless, which is why in every reincarnation I have had a slight limp."
Ryuu suddenly stops for a moment as he remembers the past; everyone notices this and politely says silent. Ten minutes have past when Ryuu 'wakes up' blinking his tear filled eyes. "Why were you sent to Japan? And reincarnated so many times?" Yuuri asks quietly catching Ryuu's attention.
"I wasn't sent to Japan Yuu-chan, I left on my own. As for the reincarnations, I was ordered to by Shinou before I left." Ryuu answers Yuuri's question vaguely as possible; surprising the rest of them in the room, see as Ryuu has been so forth coming so far.
Wolfram suddenly remembers what started this all off, "How did you know what it said on Morgif." He demands, only to cower under Gunter's sharp heated glare.
Ryuu rubs the back of his head a sheepish smile on his face, "Well...hahaha…I made him that's why. It took me a long time too." Everyone in the room thought nothing coming from Ryuu, could surprise them anymore. They are just proven wrong.
Yuuri couldn't believe it, why would Ryuu make such a horrible, human soul eating sword. "Why?! Why make that demon sword?! Why make it so it has to kill humans, for anyone to use its power?!" Yuuri shouts angrily his expression showing sadness.
Ryuu and everyone else turn to look at Yuuri; his eyes soften, expression showing shame. "Listen Yuu-chan, I was a different person back than remember. I…Well; Rikiya had an unnatural bitterness and hate towards humans at the time." He could see that Yuuri is still upset, so he takes a deep shaky breath and explains why. What he is about to tell Yuuri hurts him even now.
"You see Yuu-chan, before the war i…well Rikiya was in love with a young human woman. He loved her so much, he didn't care that she was human and he a Mazoku. Of course he told her how he felt, and she apparently felt the same, he was so happy. But all good things come to an end; he found her one day in the arms of another man, a human man. The worse thing about her cheating was it was with her brother; now he knew their secret they couldn't risk it and tried to kill him. Since then he had become hateful and bitter towards humans."
Yuuri's expression turns into one of understanding and sadness, seeing as Ryuu was once Rikiya so that means it happened to him. Gunter on the other hand is horror stricken, as to why someone would do that to him. Throughout Ryuu's whole explanation, the strange feeling that Gunter felt since he met Ryuu and one that squeezes his quickly beating heart, expanded filling him completely. He knows what it is just doesn't want to admit it, for someone he has only known for few days. Gunter von Christ has done the impossible; he has fallen in love with Ryuu Murata, at first sight no less.
…Blood pledge castle (Main living castle of the Maoh)…
It is an hour later after Ryuu had finished explaining to them who he was, and answering their questions that they left for blood pledge castle. As soon as they get there Yuuri orders Conrad to put 'Morgif' into the basement.
"As you ordered, I have put him in the basement, of the treasure room," Conrad informs Yuuri as he comes to stand beside Yuuri, who is standing in the garden with the other two.
"The demon sword was just a legend. Its identity was a groaning monster. That's the news I have spread over the human land." Gunter informs Yuuri hoping to make him happy, if Yuuri's happy so is Ryuu and that's what Gunter wants a happy Ryuu.
"All right!" Yuuri cheers happily pumping his fist into the air. "Now that just leaves Cabalcade. Are they really planning on going to war with us?"
Conrad looks down to Yuuri with a smile, "We were planning to use the demon sword as a way to show our power, but now it can't be relied on."
Yuuri suddenly looks put out at the bad news, "Oh man! I didn't think that far. What should I do?" Yuuri feels disappointed in himself for not thinking it through fully.
Footsteps are heard heading towards them, "It looks like we have nothing to worry about." Everyone turns to Gwendal just as he stops in front of them.
Wolfram looks surprised at the news, "Brother? Nothing to worry about…that means?" Wolfram encourages his brother to elaborate, so they could understand what he's on about.
"Just now there was a pledge from Cabalcade," Gwendal informs them of the great news. "Their nation's king came to our country, and said he would like to speak with his majesty."
Suddenly Anissina pops up from behind Gwendal scaring the shit out of everyone, causing them to jump slightly. "I got it! If you insist, then I have no choice. With my evil goods, we will drive them out!" She exclaims happily holding up some fish shaped thing.
Gwendal tries to talk to her, "No one said we needed that!" She just ignores him and carries on smiling. Everyone feels as if their energy is suddenly sucked from them, at the idea of her new invention. Yuuri is the one who asks the question 'why' about Gwendal's statement from before.
"You defeated the pirates who attacked the passengers, right?" Yuuri nods, "Cabalcade's king's eldest son was on that ship. He eloped with a merchant girl."
Ryuu has a feeling he knows who the king's son is, so did Yuuri going by the look on his face. "That man said you took care of him and reported it to the king. His name is Cristo Hyscliff."
Yuuri, Conrad and Ryuu all lean back in shocked surprise. Yuuri stutters, "M…Mr Sh…Shiny head?!" Gwendal nods in confirmation to Yuuri's exclamation.
A bad feeling suddenly hits Ryuu and he has an idea why, so he tries to sneak away but fails. As Gwendal notices Ryuu sneaking off an evil glint appears in his blue eyes, before he grabs Ryuu by the collar and drags him to the office. They have piles of paper work to do.
"NNNNNOOOOOOOOO! Yuuri, Conrad, anyone help me! I don't want to do paper work!" Ryuu screams as he's dragged down the hall and round the corner. "My sweet Ryuu," Gunter exclaims running after the pair. Conrad, Yuuri and Anissina watch the trio in amusement.
…Next day…
Ryuu wakes up in his room that was given to him, still tired and his muscles hurting. "Gwendal is a demon, no pun intent. I swear he's Satan himself! Oh my poor body. My hands, I can't feel my hands. May be a bath will help." Ryuu thinks to himself as he grabs his towel from the Chester drawers.
Once at the baths that Yuuri and he landed in, the first time he came here. He strips naked, walks into the warm soothing water, and closes his eyes relaxing his aching muscles. He is so relaxed he didn't notice Yuuri run into the baths, only when he feels the water move does he opens his eyes. Yuuri sees Ryuu nods a hello, Ryuu doing the same before closes his eyes again, and then Yuuri relaxes in the water letting out a sigh of bliss.
It lasts a moment until both Ryuu and he are sucked down into the water, through the water tunnel and into the black whole.
…In Japan; Bath house…
Ken is confused as hell, one moment he thinks he sees Yuuri and his brother getting pulled into the water, and disappearing. The next thing is he finds them to be unconscious in the water, and still in Japan. Ken just shakes his head and drags the both of them out, "Didn't my brother have his close on, when he came in here?" Ken thinks but ignores it.
"Big brother Ryuu! Yuuri!" He repeats this while shaking them, until he wakes them up. Yuuri is the first to wake up naked.
"What are you doing here?" Yuuri asks Ken noticing he's sitting beside him. An annoyed look falls on Ken's face, "Why? Aren't you the one who almost drown in the bath tub?" Ken questions Yuuri.
Yuuri remembers what happened in the other world, and smiles. "I've decided 'Eternal safe Doctrine'." Yuuri declares proudly to himself.
Ken laughs, "Out of the blue again! What's up with you, making such a manly comment? Anyway what are we going to do about him?" Ken asks as he points to his unconscious naked brother lying on the floor.
Yuuri and Ken just look at Ryuu then at each other, sighing tiredly.

(2)Side note: Stoffel is Cecilia's brother. When she became the Maoh she made the mistake of asking him for help, and trusting his decisions, so he started to control her. That's when she made the stupid choice of following her brother's words, causing pain to her fellow Mazoku. He was found out and dealt with.
