"Your majesty! I was so worried about you!"
Upon arriving at the port, Gunter cheerfully runs to Yuri with open arms. He hugs him tightly as never ending tears of joy poured in his eyes. Yuri was a bit surprised but gladly let him hug him. Yuri smiled of the thought Gunter never changes of showing his emotions to him. But the hug was getting tighter and tighter that Yuri could no longer properly breathe.
"G-Günter you're killing me!" he said barely aloud and passed out. His soul started floating out from his body, comically.
"Your majesty! What happen to you?" Gunter said in panic. He shakes his unconscious body and nothing was happening his soul wasn't getting inside his body. Then Wolfram walks towards them.
"Move aside!' he demanded though he actually was the one to move Gunter. He grabs Yuri collar and shouted to his face.
"Wake up you wimp! Or else you'll regret not waking up right this instant" and just an instant Yuri soul came back. He got scared with his fiancé's threatening words.
"Wolfram!" Yuri said
Immediately Gunter was in cloud 9 and started hugging Yuri again. But Wolfram interrupted right away in the middle of them.
"Stop it Gunter you'll suffocate him again!" he scolded him who made Gunter to withdraw his affection.
"Anyway. I'd like to ask you something." He said to Gunter standing in front him intervening with him and Yuri.
"What is it, Wolfram?" he replied with a serious face. Then one of Wolfram's soldiers marked with the same outfit as his runs towards them.
"Reporting sir!" the soldier announced. "What is your report soldier?" Gunter replied.
"We have secured the path that the majesty will take, every soldier under your highness is on their respective positions and we found no one in the parameters to be suspicious. That's all to report sir!" the soldier reported.
"Very well, but tell all the soldiers to be in their high alert. We need to be cautious they may have already blended in with the town's people." He said sternly.
"Yes, sir!" he saluted to Gunter and turn to greet Wolfram.
"Welcome back, your highness. We're glad that you and everyone came back safely." He saluted to Wolfram and left them.
"Gunter you got some explaining to do. What is the reason of everyone being on high alert?
"Right, Wolfram. You should never lose sight of Yuri. There's been a rumored or rather an announced attack from unknown group. "
"What! That's foolish!" Wolfram exclaimed.
"Yes, I know. But we couldn't consider it lightly."
"Right, but still isn't this overdoing it?" looking over the soldiers gathered in the whole town and in the port. They were obviously an army of them that can be seen everywhere and anywhere. Even on the trees and bushes.
"It is the majesty's welfare so everything is necessary as precautionary measures." Gunter proudly told Wolfram meaning what he did is just and appropriate. "Moreover" he said.
"We can't treat them lightly as the rumors said they can use magic as well. But I will explain it further when we get to the castle."
"How ridiculous! Are they Majokus who are planning to rebel the king?"
"We're not certain of the details and I said I will explain everything to you when we get to the castle. Anyway, always keep an eye on Yuri. Where is he?"
"Why, of course I will. He is…" he turns around to see him and felt embarrassed, irritated and angry. Yuri's not behind him anymore.
"Well, was here!" Wolfram shouted worriedly with anger in his voice.
"Yuri!" Both he and Gunter look for Yuri around and just to see him with Murata getting inside the carriage.
"Wolfram! I'm here! What's wrong?" Yuri shouted back to him when he heard his voice. They felt relieved and run towards him when suddenly an earthquake was felt. The ground starts shaking and everybody knelt down and covered their heads with their hands. The earthquake gets stronger and stronger even the soldiers can't stand in their feet anymore. Gunter fell on the ground while Wolfram and Conrad still tried getting near to Yuri but fails.
"Yuri! Stay there with Murata!" Conrad shouted who was with the soldiers.
"What's happening?" Yuri exclaimed. "It appears to be an earthquake." Murata said holding on the ground with Yuri.
So the ambush begins. The enemies did not waste any time and started to act. There was a little crack on the ground and appears getting bigger. Then boom! There's a big explosion, creating a big hole in the ground. A man in a black cloak came out from the hole and a succession of men wearing black cloaks too were following him. They swiftly rode their horses' unaffected of the shaking of the ground. Their direction is straight to Yuri's. Without being block by the soldiers, they were carelessly on the go. As they were getting near him, their leader who appears the one charging first them reaches his arms to grab Yuri but failed when a ball of fire hit him. The fire scared the horses seized them from attacking. They were all set in fire but roughly the man who reached to grab Yuri was in blaze and fell on ground.
"Stay away from Yuri! You bastards!" Wolfram shouted as he was the one who summoned the ball of fire hitting them.
Murata pulled Yuri near him in order to get him far away from the enemies. Conrad and few of his soldiers successfully meet up with Yuri through the quakes. They crawled in the ground just to meet him.
"Your majesty and your highness just stay behind us and we will protect you." Conrad said though Yuri was still on shock of the things happening. Suddenly the earthquake was over and everyone was regaining their composure. They were a bit exhausted and dizzy to the quake.
Meanwhile, the enemies struggled hard with the fire and with the help of their true leader. He immediately put off the fire using his cloak. He swings his cloak and the fire disappears. The man who got in the fire felt relieved and exhausted. But because the leader removed his cloak, he revealed his own identity. And everyone was surprised. The leader of the enemies looks exactly like Yuri! But with grey hair though. Despite that, he looks identically to Yuri. The soldiers surrounded them and got on their attack positions waiting for the Conrad's signal to attack. The same did the enemies although they were obviously outnumbered they seemed to be confident of themselves. Then Yozak appeared out of nowhere whilst pulling a man by his collar and throw him to the enemies.
"This is the end of your course! Surrender now! Or prepare to die!" Yozak announced threateningly.
At the same time their confidence subsided a little. Conrad signaled the attack and everybody launched an attack towards them. Yuri's doppelganger raises both of his hands and claps. One clap a strong wind whacks Conrad and everyone. Another clap making the wind surrounds them like there inside a barrier. He mounted his horse and put his cloak on. The wind barrier disappeared and his companions held stones in their hands and they threw it on the making thick smokes suspending everyone's attack.
"This is only the start majokus and there's many to come!" announced by Yuri's doppelganger and they laugh hysterically. Gunter indicated the archers to throw their arrows shooting them. As the black smoke clears they were all gone even the person Yozak caught. Only the arrows on the ground are to be seen to unscathed anyone of the assailants.
After the incident Yuri and Murata were sent back to Earth in order for their safety be assured.

Before they left, they held a meeting inside the castle.
"The recent incident happened at the port was not only an ambush, it is a clear declaration of WAR between us, your majesty. We must fight them off." Adelbert said upright while holding his sword.
"But I still disagree of waging war or any course of violence. And perhaps they are like the other rebels who just want to kill me." Yuri said and then Adelbert frowned disagreeing.
They were all gathered in a room at the Blood Pledge Castle to discuss the recent incident happened at the port. They sat around a big table to discuss. Yuri was in the edge of the table while the other side was the former Maoh, Cécile. To his side was Murata, Gwendel and Gunter and the other side were Wolfram, Conrad and Annisina. Meanwhile Yozak, Adelbert, and Huber were standing by Cécile's side. Stoffel and Raven were also there in the meeting.
"I certainly agree with Adelbert, your majesty. At the same day, while we were on a village not far from here it was attacked by men with black cloaks. They rode their horses and swiftly set fire in the houses. There were also other attacks in villages, and towns that are associated with the Majesty. Though no one died, the people's homes and livestock were damaged greatly." Gunter shared
"This just means the real reason of the attack is to strike fear in the people's hearts regarding in joining the majesty's coarse of peace between humans and demons." A man with an eye patch told everyone which put shivers to everyone.
"So it just means they do want war with us." Stoffel, the former king and brother of former queen of the demons say.
"Who are these men in black cloaks?" Anissina's asks
"My sources say these men are caused by a group of rebels of both humans and majokus collaborating together. And the man I captured back then was a guy from small Cimaron. He is truly a human but then again he knows how to use magic." Yozak said informing them from what he knows of the criminals. Everyone was surprised and disbelieving for something like that to happen.
"Wait! That's impossible!" Wolfram reacted
"Yes I know. But that is the truth. He is a human who can manipulate the element of earth. Also it appears to be Yuri's doppelganger is the leader of the group." As he mentioned of Yuri's doppelganger, everyone became quizzical as to why he is identically looked like Yuri and who he really is.
"As for now, we don't really know why they are after Yuri and we can't generate an attack because there is a possibility that there is a trap ahead. Also we might involve civilians in this case. Let's think it through before making an action." Murata stated as the great sage of the Demon World. Everyone nodded agreeing to what he said.
"A thorough investigation and planning must be done to ensure victory from the enemies." He added.
"I agree, and surely everyone agrees with that. So while we are planning with this we should sent back Yuri in the other for his safety." The ex-king or the Great One suggested in which made Yuri upset.
"What!?" Yuri immediately reacted. He clearly doesn't want to go home yet. Not like this, the Demon World is in process having war.
"Yes, why is that? I think it's best if Yuri is at our side so that we can watch over him" Cecile says.
"No, i come to an understanding with his majesty's wish. We can't risk the well-being of the majesty! (Even if my heart hurts a million times I will endure it, for his safety! ~he thought) His majesty must go back to earth." Gunter cried in the middle of meeting at the blood pledge castle.
Everyone agreed to Gunter but Yuri was opposed with it.
"I don't want to leave. I want to stay and fight as well." He said stubbornly but everyone disagreed.
"Don't be stubborn Yuri! It's for your own good." Wolfram yelled at him.
"It is better if you stay there, Yuri. At many least you will be safe and we can rest assured that nothing will happen to you." Conrad calmly convincing him
Everyone nodded and stared at Yuri.
"While you are there, we will find those men and let them pay for what they have caused" Shinou sternly said with determination in his eyes that for him any one who will stand by Yuri's way dies.
"And until then her majesty, Cécile will take care of your Maoh duties. You'll stay on Earth until we say so" Gwendel said with his scary face being scarier for he is angry. Yuri gulps fearing Gwendel to what he will do to him for being stubborn and such a pain.
"You should just have faith with them. They will take care of everything and after they caught whoever was responsible, we can travel back here." Murata convinced Yuri to make him calm down.
"Yes, your majesty. Leave this to us!" Yozak said with thumbs up to Yuri. As well as to Huber showed him that they can do it.
"While you are there your highness, we'll take care of everything here in Blood pledge castle." Annisina said with her usual energetic smile.
Yuri can no longer continue to argue what has agreed on so then he and Murata traveled back to Earth. Yuri didn't really want to leave his friends fighting for him while he wasn't doing anything. He also wants to fight or rather negotiate with the enemies on what they really want and they could live peacefully with each other. He wanted find those culprit and to know what are they intentions. It really became a mystery who the culprits were especially the person who looked identically like Yuri. But then again is all up to Conrad and the others, for which his safety comes first in everything.

Back in the real world or on Earth, Yuri and Murata have arrived safely. They returned into their normal lives. Through with all things happened Yuri still can't go ever with it. During dinner time, the Shibuya family enjoys their meals while having a little family chat. Everyone learned about what happened to Yuri and the critical situation that the Demon world is facing. They are very glad that nothing happened to Yuri and to the agreement that he was sent back home for his safety. Even though it'll be momentarily until they have caught those criminals. As for the moment, both his father and brother still doesn't like it, him being a king of the Demon world and neglecting his studies and his life being a normal high school student. Yuri has always been a target of enemies ever since he went to that world and it's hard for them not to worry. Yuri is still feeling guilty leaving them and letting do all the dirty works without him. Also the fact that he can't do anything to help them find the culprits frustrated him. He was useless as a king.
"I'm also worried with Wolfram and the others. Will they be fine looking for criminals like them?" Yuri's mom concerned while collecting their finished dishes.
"I'm hoping that they'll be fine. All of them are great swordsmen, mom." Shori assuring said.
"Yeah, they'll be alright. They are strong, though the enemies are really strong too. (They can use magic for crying sake. He screams in his thought not saying out loud because Shori would get angry again.)"
"But I'm warning you Yuri. Don't even think on going there secretly! Focus more on your studies, I heard that you slack off and your grades are falling. You should make up for that." His mother scolded and Yuri remembers the last time he went to school he got a 0 score on their quizzes and most of his tests were D or a C-. It was terrible and she saw all of them while she was cleaning his room. She gets strict sometimes.
"Dear, don't be too harsh with Yuri. You should be proud of him; he's a king after all." He says to his wife defending Yuri.
"But Soma-kun, we can't let him through this." She said
"Yes, I know. Yuri, your mother has a point. Be a good boy and follow what she says." He told his son kindly.
"Hai, oto-san" Yuri painfully agreed.
"Good! And fortunately, there someone coming to help you!" she giggles to what she said forgetting what made her angry. It made everyone curious except Shori who momentarily remembered.
"Who's coming mother?" Yuri asks and Jennifer smile widen. "VV-Chan!" she said joyfully and Yuri was very surprised. Flashback came filling his minds about VV His eyes gone wide and her ears went red. He surely was surprised and overjoyed. Shori felt laughing to Yuri's expression and covers his mouth to prevent it.
"R-really?" Yuri stuttered.
"That's great! Isn't she Yuri's sweetheart when they were young?" Shoma asks obliviously.
"Yes, she is. I also remembered Sho-Chan also took a liking for her too." Jennifer answers cheerfully and Yuri looks at his brother.
"I truly won't deny that, for today VV-Chan should have grown into a pretty lady with manners and elegance. Perhaps, many men may already court her by now." He says and his thoughts and Yuri's matches. They were thinking back to what they remember of VV and how she have grown into a beautiful young lady by now. Amazing.
"You're right, Sho-Chan. She might have a boyfriend already." She says out loud.
And that ruined their imagination. Their competition with each other is over and they sulked for the thought VV might bring his boyfriend along with her.
"If she do has one," That's a kill joy. The boys except for Shoma stood up from the dining table depressingly.
"Oh, come on boys. Don't get too depressed. It's only a possibility." She says as if it would lift up their depression. Yuri walks at the stair while Shori sat at the living room. His mother chased after him and said.
"Yu-Chan, wake up early tomorrow okay? You and Shori will pick up VV-Chan at the airport."
"What? Tomorrow? I thought she'll be coming at the next day?" surprised again to what he heard.
"Nope, when I called her on the phone a while ago she said she'll be coming tomorrow." She replied.
"Na-ni!?"
THE NEXT DAY
Yuri and Shori arrived at the Japan National Airport. They waited at the waiting area where they would perhaps meet with VV. They were a bit late in getting there because the airplane where VV was on arrived before them.
"We're already late." Shori says looking at Yuri blaming him. It was Yuri's fault for oversleeping because he was too nervous that he couldn't sleep not until it was dawn.
"I'm sorry already!" Yuri said apologetically with visible eye bags.
"Anyway, let's look for her. I'll go to the luggage area and you'll stay here and wait for her coz' she might go here." He commanded and left him.
Yuri was staying put and looking at every girl that would look like VV her but he couldn't find her. Then he suddenly hears her name. A handsome foreign guy was calling a girl VV. She had short black hair and the same red ribbon tied in her hair. 'She is VV' he thought then he walks closer to them.
"VV, I'm glad I found you were looking all over you. You shouldn't leave my side again okay?" the handsome foreign guy said.
"Sorry, hon, I didn't mean to. I actually got scared." VV said to the guy hugging him.
Yuri's world went crushing. As he sees his long awaited sweetheart with some guy and this some guy is really handsome, tall and foreign. Furthermore, she brought him along with her! He got so depressed and dark atmosphere were surrounding him. Suddenly someone hugged him at his back.
"Wha-what is this?" he says as he was surprised and felt very nervous. He looks at the arms grabbing him it looked like a woman's arm. Sweat keeps pouring in his face. It was a girl hugging him! It made his mind go frenzy. Her arms and hands were smooth and fair and he can feel her bosoms at his back. But then, he recognizes this feeling, the sensation of warmth and full of joy in her tight embrace. He turns around and sees a beautiful woman looking at him with tears in her eyes. Then he recognizes the woman, it was the real VV! His childhood sweetheart! He looks at her with pure admiration on how she has changed into a very beautiful and attractive woman. She smiles at him and said.
"Yu-Chan. I missed you so much."
End of Chapter 2!
Sorry for the long wait if you were actually waited. ^_^. Also from what I said from the last chapter sorry about that was a mistake. peace! You'll know to why VV came back and what happen next! Ok!
Author's note for the readers, I hadn't actually watched the full season 1 of KKM as well its season 2 but I do know some parts. There's this reason and I am devastated knowing that I couldn't watch it, season 2 DVD/cd is not released here in our place and season 1 can rarely be found! OMG! While the episodes I downloaded are all deleted by my insensitive and cruel brothers. Also I can't watch on TV because we don't have any cable. So the thing is. I might not conclude some other characters I don't know of and places at the demon world. Please bear with me, and if you want to suggest something you can go ahead and review on the story. Thank you very much!
