BloodyPinkRose - Sorry its late anyways does anyone want a lemon between Shinou Daikenja to illustrate Murata getting preggers or would they rather not?? Let me know please. Anyways DONT OWN KKM!
Chapter three: Back home
Shinou sighed a long sigh, it had been three days, sure he could call Daikenja back when he wanted to but he didn't want the other to not have had a great deal of time to think about his options. Once he was pregnant he wouldn't be able to go backwards and forwards as easily.
He munched the mango slowly, even his near obsessive love for fruit was pointless, it just didn't have its pleasurable healing tastes anymore, now they just seemed to be rubber in his mouth. He threw the fruit on the floor half heartedly and sighed again.
He rolled onto his back, shifting slightly; the boxes really were comfortable despite them being just boxes. He looked at the ceiling and sighed, he was glad that he sent Ulrike away, he wasn't sure that he would have been able to deal with her hovering over him at every moment.
When a childish giggle reached his ears he looked towards the door and cocked his head to the side when he saw Greta nibbling his abandoned mango and sitting cross legged on the floor looking up at him amused.
Now this he could deal with, despite her young age Greta was a formidable companion and she always knew the wisest and most helpful things to say which would make one think about their actions and more often than not reassure them.
"He will be back soon ShinShin, you don't need to worry that he is going to leave you and never come back. Just like papa Yuuri he will always come back" she smiled widely her pearly teeth shining and her large eyes twinkling.
Shinou smiled back at her, though he didn't think it was very reassuring. He followed the girl with his eyes when she got up and skipped towards him, leaning over him and blocking his view of the ceiling.
"MuraMura really cares about you, he won't leave you here. I bet that he is already trying to find a way to get back early. Daikenja seemed to really love ShinShin and now that Mura has those feelings and the feelings of the time he has spent with you since arriving here he will not want to be away from you for long" she whispered loudly.
Shinou snorted, if anything he was but a bother to the smart adviser. Daikenja never loved him if anything he probably thought himself as a babysitter to a rebellious child that never listened to the wise words he spoke.
"You will see, when MuraMura comes back he will come straight to you, Greta bets you!" she continued as if he hadn't spoken to her. When he didn't reply the girl returned to her space on the floor, finished the mango and waved goodbye.
Of course she just happened to want to see Gwendal because he was just sooo much more interesting than boring old Shinou who was mourning the temporary loss of his beloved friend and adviser.
"I don't think I can take much more of this!" he grumbled to himself
"Buy some other kind of paint, I demand as Maou that you use a different kind!" Yuuri yelled pointing at Wolfram, the blonde just glared at him from behind the canvas and before he knew, he was being rewarded a spare paintbrush to the face for his troubles.
"Shut up wimp! This is the best paint and even if you wish for another kind as your fiancée I will not comply to that" the blonde hissed before settling again and continuing his delicate painting. Yuuri groaned and rubbed the spot on his head.
Wolfram's hand was engulfed in flames and Yuuri swallowed and froze, he didn't like the sudden twinkling in Wolfram's eyes. "If you move again wimp, you will regret it" he promised in a low and dangerous voice.
Yuuri was suddenly straight as a cardboard, if there was one thing he had learnt about the blonde; it was that anything was better than being attacked by his fires. Nothing was worth having to put up with the burns and scorch marks.
Wolfram threw his hands up in the air and tore the canvas down throwing that at Yuuri too, followed by the paintbrush he had been using and the pallet of paint. The stupid wimp had moved too much, it was impossible for him to complete his er ... masterpiece.
Ignoring the Maou's groans of pain and the rather huge bump on top of his head he sniffed and stormed out the room slamming it behind him. Yuuri sighed and picked himself up, he really had to suggest anger management to the blonde if their relationship was going to work.
He abandoned the thoughts and ran after the blonde whilst being sure to avoid Gunter, though if he was completely honest he hadn't seen the lilac eccentric adviser in a loooong time, he never seemed to be a meals or anything.
"Are you sure that you don't want any help, it really isn't much problem, with Heika's work I can deal with it" Gunter pressed, his hands glued to the big desk that resided in Gwendal's room. The commander was again behind his desk writing away.
"I am no weak man Gunter, this is nothing compared to days on the battlefield" the brunette replied absently turning over the page of yet another battle report. He didn't think that he would ever get relieved of his duties that the Maou was meant to be doing.
If he was truthful he didn't think he wanted to be relieved of them, sure he had his own work but he was so used to having to do excessive amounts that once he was one with his work he wouldn't know what to do with himself.
"I didn't say you were weak Gwendal but-" he was cut off
"Did you know that Sangria, Lasagna and Doria found a rather big closet to stuff your dear Heika in so that you can visit him whenever you deem necessary" Gwendal stated rather abruptly changing the subject.
However Gunter seemed to be having a stubborn moment and wouldn't be shifted.
"Heika has the selfish loafer to keep him busy last time I checked they were having another one of their painting bonding sessions" Gunter swiftly told him in order to get back to the subject they had been talking about before.
Gwendal snorted but didn't comment as he signed the report and moved onto the next one, in truth he was still tired, the rest he had three days ago may have helped for that day but what about all the hours of sleep he had to catch up on from before.
He was literally living on teas and whatever strong drink they had that would keep him awake and not leave him intoxicated. Every one of those three days the adviser had literally become his shadow, if he felt thirsty there would suddenly be a drink,
If he was falling asleep he would find himself being pushed towards the couch but Gwendal found that every time he lay down his mind just started going over the work he would have to do when he got up, so he never really did get any rest.
"Gwendal I'm worried about you!" Gunter suddenly announced and Gwendal dropped his pen by accident and knocked over his small pot of ink in his shock. Gunter watched amused as the brunette scrambled to clean the mess but tried to keep his cool.
Gunter had already spotted the dots of pink on his tanned cheeks however.
"I have a lot of work to do Gunter I would appreciate-" this time he was the one that was cut off, when the adviser was in the mood he could be very stubborn, persuasive and quick off the mark. He wouldn't let Gwendal dismiss him until he was done.
"I am worried about you, does Heika understand how much work you are doing, you hardly get any sun it is a wonder that Giesela hasn't come to force you outside but I suppose with all the work she has to do she hasn't had the time. Come to think of it Anissina hasn't come to bother you either. I haven't seen Cheri either" he wondered off on a tangent.
Gwendal thanked the gods and tried to sneak out the room to send the documents on their way to different locations. Just as he reached the door Gunter slammed a hand down on his shoulder making him jump quite uncharacteristically.
"I will walk with you, I insist" Gunter forced the other with a huge smile that promised a lecture if he chose to decline his offer. Gwendal sighed and nodded, he hoped Gunter wasn't going to become another Anissina.
"Have you noticed?" Yozak asked curiously as he continued the light sparing with Conrad, it was just a warm up so they were only attacking each other half heartedly and they weren't doing anything particularly wondrous with their skill levels.
"Gunter and Gwendal?" the brunette asked curiously and Yozak nodded, "Yes, while I'm sure that Yuuri is glad to have the attention away from him I don't think that Gwendal is appreciating it any better" he smiled.
Yozak grinned
"I think it's good for him, he's always around but it's like no one ever notices him. While Gunter may be overpowering him and overstepping his personal space boundaries secretly he craves the attention. One man can't make an island" he replied
The two continued to spar in silence for a while they pondered the ideas. Then Conrad just couldn't help himself he had to ask, Yozak had always been there and sure he was involved but he never seemed to have anyone.
He would do as ordered go and come back but he never mentioned anyone.
"One man cannot make an island, does that mean that you have someone?" he asked curiously and Yozak looked at him perplexed before he relaxed and smiled, that was the first time that someone had asked him about his private life.
"I have someone but I just have to wait for them to realise that I am here and that I am waiting for them" he replied cryptically before stretching and walking away to report to Gwendal for another mission, he was bored of being stationary now.
It was time he had a bit of action
Conrad blinked after him for a while before he shook his head and smiled, he knew that when Yozak was ready he would tell him what he meant by that. Though he couldn't help but be curious, he shook his head again and walked around to check the progress of the men training.
"So they all want you to have a child for my brother and his fiancée?" Shori commented afterwards, despite it being the third day since Murata had got back to earth it was only recently the two had spoke about why he was actually back ... and without Yuuri.
"Yes, Shinou thought I needed some time to think about it" he added and the taller Shibuya nodded, that made sense. Since it was almost certain that Shinou knew that he gone through much pain during the many years that he was reincarnated
"You have been back three days, have you thought about it?" Shori asked, he didn't want to spend time with useless blabber, he could see that the boy was itching to see this Shinou regardless of whether he had come up with an answer or not.
"I have thought about it, yes" he replied weakly and Shori cocked an eyebrow, and motioned the other to continue on that train of thought with his hands. Murata sighed and looked down at his hands as if they held all the answers.
"I will do it because Shinou wants me to, not because your brother or Lord Von Bielefeld want me to. Now that he is here and I can touch him I want to make him happy and if this will make him happy then I will gladly do so" Murata stated softly.
Shori swirled around from his computer and looked at the messy haired brunette carefully, "What about your own happiness?" he asked curiously and Murata looked up and smiled brightly at him with a boyish giggle and a shrug.
"It's hard to explain but I will be happy if Shinou is happy, from what I remember of past lives having children is painful but very rewarding and the months and different stages bring so much and tighten bonds that you have with the people that you love and care for" he replied deeply.
Shori nodded and kept quiet for a while just to ponder what had already been said to him but the younger male. It didn't seem like he was taking into consideration what was going to happen to that child or children later.
He may want to keep Shinou happy but Shinou wasn't the one that was going to have to give them away. Murata would have to live with seeing his baby/ babies everyday and knowing that despite how close they were they were still so far away.
He would always feel parental about the child but he would have no say in how they were brought up no matter what. When he voiced this Murata seemed deflated, his shoulders dropped and his eyes looked to his lap.
"That is the problem I haven't found an answer for yet, if I were Shinou I would just let whatever happen happen and probably end up committing suicide in depression or something but I cannot even begin to imagine how I will give away my child" he admitted
Shori pondered a little more
"Have you voice all your worries with this Shinou? I can only help you so much but if you are going to do this then maybe you need to speak with him about it more" as soon as the words left his mouth Murata was up and stomping around off on a tangent.
"I would if the idiot would take me seriously, he cannot stay serious to save his life. If he was on the other end of a sword he would still be cracking headless jokes or something. He has the attention span of an apple, did I even mention his obsession with fruits. Its weird to even see him without one, normally one should run for the hills if there isn't some sort of fruit in his hand" Murata rambled
Shori smiled slightly, Murata obviously cared very much about Shinou and was missing him beyond believe if he was spurting random facts about him to practically no one. After all Shori really wasn't listening to most of what he was saying.
"I can guarantee that he listens to you and understands your worries more than you think, I may have only seen the real him for a few brief moments but I got to read what I think is a lot into his character. He doesn't want you to do this but at the same time he does" he commented and Murata looked at him confused.
"His duty is to protect and look after New Makoku and all the inhabitants, he wants to make sure that everyone is happy to at least some degree without being too greedy and evil. Therefore he needs someone he can trust to bare the heir and he trusts no one but you now" he continued
"However as himself, Shinou he just wants to be with you, wants to soothe your fears and the past hurts you suffered but because of his duty he cannot allow that and so he builds a facade that hides how much it hurts him that he almost has to almost force this on you. I have no worries that he won't take very good care of you" he finished
Murata just stared at him and then he smiled and got up running to the door and slamming it open. "Where are you going?" Shori enquired as if he didn't know, though a tiny smirk was gracing his lips. Murata just shrugged and muttered 'home' before he ran out the house.
He stood in front of the secluded lake and stared at it like it was nothing but a bother to him. "You are going to open up the portal and let me go home!" he voiced out loud and as if to mock him a single air bubble rose to the surface and popped.
He growled and scowled it
"Don't mock me, not even a thunderstorm will stop me getting home" he told it stubbornly before he turned to look at the sky light up beautifully by the setting sun. He wasn't going to stay on earth any longer, he wanted to go home
"You hear that Shinou? I'm coming home?!" he yelled
Then he jumped into the lake of water and prayed for the best.
Shinou sighed and played with the fountain water with his fingers, he regretted pushing Daikenja into the portal now, he was lonely and bored. No one ever came to visit him and he was too worried to go up to the castle in case Daikenja came back.
"Azalea my darling! Take care of yourself for me. A rather fitting name for you as of now where i cannot guarantee your safety"
He sighed and threw his yet to be eaten apple into the fountain, he felt too depressed to even look at the precious fruit anymore. It was only day three, he had no idea how he was meant to last a week but he didn't want to rush the boy.
Watching his apple bob up and down in the water until it sunk something shining at the bottom on the pool caught his eyes and glinted magnificently, he grinned thinking he had literally struck gold. Removing his shirt and shoes he looked around before pouncing on the shiny thing.
The next thing he was aware of was Daikenja straddling his waist and the shining sparkle was gone. Though slightly disappointed he didn't get any gold or anything he was dazed just looking at Daikenja. He had changed back to his original form four thousand years ago.
Right then it took every ounce of his energy not to grab that pale chin and smash his lips against the soft fuller ones of his adviser. Daikenja smiled down at him before flinging his long hair out the way elegantly almost leaving Shinou with a nose bleed.
"I'm home!" he called happily
Before Shinou could even speak of his gladness of that fact he had a mouthful of that silky black hair in his face as he was pulled into a rather desperate hug. "Don't you ever ever ever ever do that to me again!" he demanded
Shinou didn't speak, the words were lodged too far down his throat but he nodded like a gaping fish and returned the hug tightly. It had been a hell of a long three days but Daikenja had come back and he still had three days of annoying to make up for!
