Warning: As Nickesha said this is chapter full of ideas.
# # #
Jennifer was happy doing their laundry. She started humming after finishing the last set of clothes to hang. A thought run to her mind.
"I hope those two are having fun…hmm…hmm... (Humming)… Oh my," she remarked remembering someone all of the sudden. "What if Wolf-Chan sees them? Hmmm… It's impossible he's in the other after all. They can be so sweet sometimes. But oh well… It's up to Yu-Chan from now on." She said giggling and a vast wind blew from her side.
"I'm his fiancé" he blunted to her.
VV was shocked. Those three words won't sink into her mind or even want to pass through her ears. Was she dreaming? Being mislead? Or was she being fooled by the good-looking man in front of her? Nevertheless looking at him, he was being serious to what he said. She stared at him blankly with mouth wide open.
"Come again? Bees passed over my head just now" VV asked Wolfram telling a lie to confirm what he said.
"I'm Yuri's fiancé" he repeated himself again. VV can't believe what she heard again. The word fiancé repeated itself again and again in her head. It won't stop keep repeating itself. It was long enough to make Wolfram impatient.
"How did you know Yuri has been kidnapped? And are you truly his friend or maybe you're lying to me and you're actually an…" He was stating fiercely getting hold of his sword then VV cut him off.
"Just a sec!" she raised her voice and pointed her finger.
"You don't ever accuse me of something or anything else! My name is VV and FYI, we're certainly are childhood friends! Also we're this close!" she said raising her hand again to his face with finger crossed. Wolfram brushed off her hand and said.
"You're lying! Yuri hasn't told me anything about you!"
"I don't know why Yuri didn't tell you about me, but he also didn't tell me about you! Or anything about him is engaging with a man!"
Wolfram shoves her hand, his brows furrowed and nerves started to appear twitching in his forehead. He was angry and jealous inside. 'How dare you made friends with this girl without telling, you cheater!' He started walking near to her as he walks limply side to side, but his good looks and grace covers all the ugliness. She looked over at the furious Wolfram barely walking. She felt pity to him at the same time charmed with his looks. 'I have Yuri and no one else…' she paved away the thought erring in her mind.
"I don't care if he didn't tell you that we're engage, but that's the truth! So you better not get close to him ever again, understand? And if it's Yuri's safety you're looking for, we here are to save and keep him safe so we don't need a stranger like you to save him." he said frankly to her. He tried walking around her when she blocked him to where he was going.
"I-I don't believe you! You're lying! If you were to keep him safe, why did he even get caught by that hideous looking guy on the first place?"
"Yuri and I are officially engaged. So there's no space between us. And it was out of our comprehension the enemies could actually kidnap him at Earth. It isn't any normal occurrence of someone can actually get in and out without huge powers…" Wolfram started explaining which was making VV confuse. Her confusion was actually obvious to see so Wolfram felt angry.
"Why am I even explaining this to you? Argh! Just don't make conclusions when you don't know anything!" he answered back at her, brushing off her hand.
VV's mouth shut and gulps at the pressure of the atmosphere. She understood most of what he just said but she won't easily accept it. What he said is true though. 'That's impossible' she thought. Her eyes started tearing as she was staring at the ground. 'It's impossible. Yuri will never hide something so big like this to me… no he wouldn't. He's just lying' she said to herself. Then he looked up to him still with teary eyes. Wolfram was taken aback by her eyes with subtle anger and disapproving look at him.
"w-what's with you now?" he asked
"I won't believe you, not a word... Not until I hear it myself from Yu-Chan" she said to him and jumps at the horse's saddle.
"I'm going to save Yu-Chan and asked him!" She stated looking at him straightly in his eyes.
"I'm going with you then!"
"No way!"
"Why is that?"
"I don't like you! That's why! A-and you're wounded it's bad to bring a wounded man into a fight" she said while holding the latch of the horse. Though it was only an excuse she was right. Wolfram was indeed wounded from the explosion and his ankle twisted but he won't back down. He can't trust this girl she just met. Furthermore, he wants to save Yuri.
"I also don't like you. I know I'm wounded but, so what? I will save Yuri no matter what! Even every bones in my body breaks or I'll be covered with my blood I will go and save him!" he said. His determination was outstanding, VV felt little of herself but she still doesn't want to bring him with her.
"No! I'm leaving you!" she said stubbornly. She was about to run off when Wolfram got a grasp of her hand.
"You don't even know where he is!" he shouted holding her hand strongly but at the same time his feet was hurting because he used to move it to grab her. She wanted to say "so? I'll look for him by myself" but it was wasting more time if she did. She can judge that Wolfram won't let her through except if she just pushed him away then that would be easy but she wouldn't do that. That would be cruel to do.
"Fine … Get up here." She ordered him. Frustrating it was to be ordered again by some girl he just knew, but it left him no choice. They both again argued on who's going to hold the latch. It was settled that Wolfram who will be handling the horse since he knows where to go. He climbed up to her front with her help again. At the first, he was facing at VV who unknowingly blushed immediately.
"Wha'why are you facing here?" she shrieked.
"This isn't my fault. You're the one who pulled me up."
"No I didn't"
"Yes you did"
"Anyway, just turn around!" she shouted with flushed face.
They argued yet again and ended when Wolfram turned around facing north. He pulled the horse's latch and off they go. He was in the front since he knows where to go. Their brows furrowed, VV was holding around his waist tightly since they were riding fast and she was sad to even think that the first guy to ride with her in a horse was with him and not Yuri. 'I know he looks like Prince Charming, and he's so handsome, he got blonde hair, emerald eyes,' she started blabbering on her thoughts and suddenly 'but he said his Yuri's said to be "fiancé"! That's absolutely impossible! What the hell is going on here!" she screamed in her thoughts making her grip tighter.
"Ouch! What are you doing? I'm still a wounded person, you know?" Wolfram scolded.
"Ooops, sorry." she said in a grumbling manner. But Wolfram let it off the hook just this time.

Meanwhile, Yuri was being taken away by the big oversized muscles Juno who feels so great of himself. He was smirking all the way out the forest when surprisingly men in horses were waiting for them. They blocked all the exits that the enemies could use. Divided they maybe, but the person Juno came front with was the 'oh so good looking' Conrad in his brown uniform. Mounted on his horse in front of his soldiers, Conrad looked great and fearsome as he slowly walked his horse towards them.
"I will not give mercy to those hurts His majesty" he said
The other enemies seized upon making contact with him but Juno didn't stop rather he sped up and went head on to Conrad. The same did Conrad in spite of being calm and patient. He showed a side of him with determination on saving Yuri. As everyone is expecting a fierce a battle between Juno and Conrad will soon take place. When the distance was getting closer between them, Juno's allies charged as well their enemies. He started throwing numerous knives to Conrad. He blocked several of them with his swords and moves his body to miss others. Just then, Juno swings his sword to an open side of Conrad but immediately he blocks the attack and threw Juno's sword away from him. Conrad made a counterattacked which almost thrust a sword to his heart but he missed. His sword only pierced through his left arm. Juno threatens Yuri's life once again, a dagger at his hand place at Yuri's neck. He is a treacherous fiend using Yuri all of a sudden. He chuckled,
"Ey, I know you don't want to see your majesty's head rolling in the ground, do you?" he said to Conrad
"You're despicable. Don't you dare hurt our Majesty!" he replied pulling out his sword from Juno's hand. He grumbled crossing his forehead.
"I really don't get why you majokus care for this Guy." He lifted Yuri's head with his sword and drops it eventually, making Conrad get angrier
"If I was you, I would overthrow him and let my self be the king!" he rudely advised.
Conrad hardens his grip on his sword and attacks him. Juno was lucky to avoid it then unexpectedly a short whistling sound was heard. Some ignored the noise and some got distracted. Conrad felt an ominous feeling as he heard the sound and mentally prepared himself to what may happen. Conrad watches Juno's every move and notices something. He was smiling wildly. Then suddenly they heard a very irritating long vibrating sound. It was deafening. The horses became wild, and the soldiers fell from their horses. They tried to cover their ears but they can still hear the noise. Juno laughed wickedly. He removed his dagger away from Yuri and thought of silencing Conrad for good.
"Captain!" Yozak yelled then charges an attack to Juno. He quickly backs down and lifted his horse avoiding his attack.
Fortunately their backup has finally arrived. A man in black hooded cloak steps in between them interfering Yozak's next attack. Their swords were clashing from every side.
"Captain, are you alright?" Yozak anxiously asked him.
"The noise" he replied while covering his ears. The soldiers with Conrad were down in the ground weakening by the noise they hear.
"What noise?" he replied quickly and listened to their surroundings. Curiosity filled in the thoughts of their companions as they couldn't figure the noise that's distracting them.
"Captain Juno, I'll take care of this. Please go ahead with the others!" said the person in the black hooded cloak. Two of his men came as well with Juno riding their horses out from the battlefield.
"Young master!" Yozak called noticing Yuri with the captain of the enemy fleeing.
He tried stopping them but an enemy appeared blocking his way. They fought trying to win over the other. Meanwhile, Conrad was fighting off the noise he was hearing. It weakens him as he couldn't use his sense of balance. But after few minutes when Juno has escaped from the battle the noise disappeared. Those who became victim of the noise composed themselves and went back on their feet. They fought along their companions and defeated the rest of their enemies. Conrad climbed up to his horse's saddle.
"Yozak!" he called.
"Captain!" Yozak replied after punching his enemy's face.
"Let's go and save His majesty!" he shouted and everyone shouted back.
They went off to chase Yuri.
~ . ~
"We'll be reaching the borders, Captain!" one of the hooded black cloak shouted talking to Juno.
"As soon as we get there, they cant' follow as any more, captain!" another guy said.
"Don't cheer you fools! Not until we get rid of them" Juno scolded his companions being grouchy of his lost to Conrad.
In few moments later, they heard herd of horses tailing them. It was them, Conrad and Yozak catching up to their enemies. Juno and his companions were surprised how fast they caught up to them as they were getting near than expected.
"Captain we can see the whistler!" one of his companion announced when he saw their ally on the other side of cliff. Juno smirks and "Hi-ya!" their horses has sped more than usual just in order to reach the borders.
"We can't let them get away anymore." All of them thought.
So they began racing with each other. (And may the fastest horse win!) It became more intense as they draw near to each other and to the bridge that connects the two borders. In the meantime, Yuri awakens from his sleep. He sees the ground moving, he hears horses and people. Then he remembered Wolfram.
"Wolfram!" he shouted and looked around.
To his left he saw the people who captured him. To his right side he saw Conrad and Yozak behind him. Pain lifted a bit from his heart but he couldn't see Wolfram. He prayed nothing worst happened to him. Conrad and the others saw Yuri moving.
"Yuri!" "Young Master!" "Your Majesty!" they all called in unison
"Everyone" he replied back.
They felt glad, he was alive. However at the last minute they were too late. The enemies were passing through the bridge already. The person they called the whistler with other the enemies started cutting the ropes connecting the bridge. In which cutting the only path they can reach them. Conrad had to fall back as the bridge was cut off or else they could fall high to the river below them. They all felt despair.
"Conrad"
"Yuri"
They both called out to each other.
"There's still another way." Yozak suggested but that path is far from them and if they do the enemies can still escape and they could no longer save Yuri. No one can.
"Yuri!" "Yu-Chan!" Two people yelled at the same time.
And out of no where a white horse was seen flying just over a cliff. As it jumps off the cliff, it covered the rays of the sun shining over the enemies putting them in their shadows. A grand entrance as it was, two shadows of person was seem to recognize riding the horse. All eyes were locked on them as they bravely jump off a very high cliff, higher than where Conrad was standing. Soon enough they landed on the ground of their enemies. A golden haired man in blue uniform was on the front and behind him they saw a girl with long jet black hair.
"It's Sir Wolfram, Sir Weller!" Someone in blue uniform announced.
"You're right! But who's that girl he's with?" Yozak said
In meantime, Yuri was very surprised.
"Wolfram? Wi-with VV...Chan?" he said staring blankly at them together. He's very glad to see Wolfram survived but seeing VV with him. It was a lock jaw. How did VV even arrive in the Demon world and why is she with Wolfram? Questions running to Yuri's head.
Wolfram breathe hard finally released from the tension he just experienced.
"I told you can trust me. See? We landed safely." The girl proudly said to Wolfram. She was the one who planned and controlled the horse to jump over the cliff to save Yuri.
"You're undeniably crazy! We could have died just there! If you wanted to die badly, and then Do it yourself!" he yelled at her as his life was at stake because of her.
"Never mind that, it's Yu-Chan! Yu-Chan!" She called when she spotted Yuri staring blankly at them. She became very happy and very excited. She found Yuri! Her heart flattered to see him alive and safe but then again she saw some bruises to Yuri and he was tied. 'What the hell did they do to my Yu-Chan?'
"Where?" Wolfram immediately asked and followed the direction VV was pointing.
Though VV ignored everything he said his concern is only to Yuri. He also became very happy to see him again. Also he will no longer let Juno escape. Both of them became seriously angry to Juno. Wolfram won't forget that he punched Yuri. Meanwhile VV won't forgive him for messing their date by kidnapping Yuri and hurting him.
"Wolfram!" Conrad called him.
"Brother" he looked at him at the other side. It was their chance, their chance to get to the other side of the cliff using the other route.
"Hold them up as much as you can! We'll use the other path to get there!" he told his little brother and Wolfram nodded. He left immediately to make it to the other side.
Wolfram collected his thought and determined as he was he will make sure to save Yuri this time. Juno was surprised to the persons in front of them. The Blondie who he thought died in the explosion and the earth girl who he thought was left on earth.
"Hand Yuri back!" Wolfram demanded to the enemies.
"He's right! Give Yu-Chan back you ugly macho homo kidnapper!" VV also said insulting Juno who felt embarrassed. His allies stared their captain for a moment and wanted to laugh. Juno glared back at them and gave them an evil look which made them silent.
"What a surprise you two are. How did you follow us?" Juno asked them in curiosity.
"It's none of your business!" VV replied angrily
"Surrender yourselves now or prepare to die!" Wolfram threatened.
"Hey, Prince charming. Can you really defeat them? You're wounded you know." VV whispered to Wolfram.
"Shut up. I will defeat for Yuri's sake. And give me some space here, you're too close! And let go the rope I'm the one navigating here." Wolfram was scolding her. They became really tightly close each other when they jump off the cliff. VV never noticed how close their bodies were, her head to his shoulder, and her body to his back and her legs to his legs. So close. VV was embarrassed and pushes Wolfram without thinking.
"It was an accident!" she shouted at him. "Ouch! Don't push me!"
"sorry" they starting to quarrel again in a moment but abrupt when they heard Juno chuckled.
"Us surrendering? Give me a break." Juno commented and received a glare,
"Shut up!" they replied in unison. That made him pissed of.
"Attack them!" he commanded two of his men and they run towards them.
He let them fought against the two since they are the only ones who are blocking the way where they can escape. Wolfram blocked both the enemy's attack with his sword. VV was very amazed with him. He could block all oft their attack simultaneously without being hit though he's wounded. But then again, he could only block their attack. As he fought the both of their enemies Juno and the others are planned to get away while they were fighting.
"Wolfram! They're trying to escape!" VV shouted in panic to Wolfram.
"I know but… I couldn't defeat these guys" he replied blocking another attack where he was shielding two swords with his.
"I'll stop them. I won't let them go away." she said slid herself from the horse.
"Where are you going?" he shouted at her after making his opponents back away momentarily. He watched her going to Yuri's direction. She stretched her arms and stood in the way Juno was going. Their horses brake from running towards her making them stop.
"Why the hell you stop?" Juno angrily shouted.
"It's because of the Earth girl, Captain." His companion said stopping his tracks.
"What did you say?"
"He said it's because of me, oversized macho freak." VV annoyingly said to him and again with the insults.
"VV-Chan, what are you doing!" Yuri shouted surprised and worried to what VV is doing standing in front of the enemies.
"Yu-Chan, I'm here to save you! And I won't let them escape with you ever again!" she stated waging war between her to Juno.
"So you're saying' I need to get rid of you first?" Juno asked in which he really wants to shut the mouth of VV personally. Both Wolfram and Yuri became worried with her. She'll be standing against a man 5 times bigger and stronger than her. What can she do?
"Captain, let me take care of her." Juno's ally advice but he ignored him and dismounted from his horse.
"But, captain! You're injured!" he complained then Juno glared him. Saying "just shut up, keep a watch over the boy" Then as he turns around to face her, he receives knuckle punch.
For her resolution, she will disobey her aunt's rule and fight for Yuri. Foremost, she seriously wants to beat the crap out of Juno for kidnapping Yuri, ruin their date, get drowned in a lake, meeting Wolfram, and hurting Yuri! She runs to Juno, jumps high to reach him punching his face. His nose bled
"Why you!" Juno yelled as he didn't expect that her punch was stronger than what he expected.
Juno throws his right punch to her and VV moves to his side avoiding it. She then holds his wrist, and kicks the back of his knee which made him kneel to the ground followed by another punch to the back of his jaw. She quickly steps away from Juno, watching him move for she knows it's not over yet. Watching her quickly attacks her enemy. Yuri was very amazed to his childhood friend. He even doubted for a moment that she was VV. As he underestimated his opponent, Juno will take her more seriously. He stood up and faces her. VV in her defense position waited for his attack. Close combat Juno thought. He raised his hand and moved his fingers gesturing to get him.
"VV, Don't! It's a trap!" Yuri warned him.
But still VV took the invitation and charges him. She jumps high attacking him with her fist the same as before. But Juno won't fall into that again. He quickly shoves her hand and aims to make a good blow to her stomach. But before he knew it, he was kicked in the face. He didn't fell on the ground exactly however he became lightheaded for a moment. Then she runs to launch another attack. She steps at his leg and kneed him at his chin. Juno fell on the ground but that also made him awake. He shakes off his dizziness and sees VV was still near him. So before VV could even get farther away from him, he grabs her feet and pulled her. VV uses her hand to avoid ground contact and turns around to kick his face. He still didn't let go of her. He grips her feet tighter. She was getting hurt because of him so she continues to stomp her foot to his face. Later Juno draws her near using his strength. VV stopped stomping him and tried pushing herself away from him. Juno tightly grips her foot. He spun VV around and throws her in a huge tree. Her body crash to the trunk of the tree hard and dropped on the ground.
"That idiot, why save me?" Wolfram felt guilty as he was saved with her help in which caused her agony. It happened when VV heard Yuri screamed for Wolfram.
Yuri has been watching both of them all the time since that's the only thing he could do as of the moment. He could notice that Wolfram gets weaker by each time his opponents strike him. It worried him and worst is that he couldn't help these important people who're fighting for him. On that moment, Wolfram was on danger. He doesn't have enough strength to push back his current opponent while another opponent of his plans to attack at his back.
"Wolfram! Watch out!" he shouted when his other opponents attacked him while he was blocking the other one.
"Yuri" Wolfram thought as he stared at him for a moment as the enemy was approaching screaming,
"Die demon!"
But then a big rock was flying, hitting his head eventually falling down to his horse. Then another rock hits Wolfram's opponent close to him. Wolfram finishes him with a single swing and down his opponent was. Wolfram and Yuri turned to see where the rock came from, and saw VV being spun by Juno and tossing her. VV started coughing blood but relieved it didn't kill her. Juno regained his composure and walked towards his target; VV.
"VV! Run!" Yuri shouted struggling from the tight ropes he was in. Wolfram walks to meet VV but was stopped when VV stood with her palm facing him.
"Prince Charming, don't mind me. Please go get Yu-Chan." She says
"Don't be an idiot!" Wolfram shouted while holding to his arm which hurts him the most. VV glared at him begging, but it won't stop him. She rolled her eyes,
"Don't be an idiot as well. With your wimpy condition, you're not fit to fight a macho freak like him. Let me be and go get Yuri." she said making Wolfram stopped. 'Wimpy? She says' Wolfram thought.
"Fine! But I'm no wimp!" he replied angrily though Wolfram felt guilty. But she's right Yuri comes first and after he gets Yuri he'll somehow help.
Juno laughed "Don't be cocky, girl" and punches her stomach letting her hurl.
"Don't worry about me." She replied enduring the pain as she quickly gave Juno an uppercut.
VV bends collecting her strength and uses both of her hand together hitting his neck choking him. He coughs to the ground and breathe heavily while VV leaps to his back. She turns around to her attack position waiting for the right time to attack Juno. When he turned, VV dashed over tackling him. Juno grabs VV pulling her close to him while VV dodges and strikes him back. The two fight in a close combat where none of them lets the other escape.
In the meantime when Wolfram turns to save Yuri, he was very weak. His wounds started opening again as he fought two of his opponents. He was enduring it all. The guy with black hooded cloak a.k.a. the whistler dismounted from his horse and pointed his sword to Wolfram. His hands and limbs were shaking as he sees Wolframs slowly getting close to them. Wolfram dismounted as well on his mount and quickly the whistler head out attacking him. Wolfram blocked his sword from hurting him and brushes it off easily. Then he uses the end of his handle hitting the boy's stomach. He was relieved. Finally he could be with Yuri again. It felt weird though but Wolfram was lucky his opponent was weaker than anyone he fought.
"Wolfram, Are you alright?" Yuri asks him and he didn't reply.
After untying Yuri, Wolfram walks back and fell on the ground.
"Hey don't be like this, are you alright, Wolfram?" Yuri felt worried grabbing his shoulders. Wolfram had a glance of Yuri then he fainted.
"Wolfram!" He yelled in panic. He let him lie down in his lap and continues to call him. Suddenly Yuri heard horses coming closer to them. It was Conrad and everyone.
The whistler came to his senses and again felt terrified to the army coming over them.
"Captain!" he shouted calling Juno.
But the person he ought to trust and idolize stumbles to the ground, defeated. Surprised and terrified he became. 'This can't be happening, Captain shouldn't be losing. We shouldn't be losing… what will happen to me? My mother, my father, my family. What will happen to them?' anxiety hits him, and then he remembered. He had the magical whistle that Juno gave him.
When everyone arrived, they surrounded Juno, the whistler and even VV. Conrad went straight to Yuri and Wolfram full of concern to the two.
"Your majesty, were you hurt?" Conrad asks him.
"No" he replied shaking his head.
"But… Wolfram is badly wounded. He needs to be treated right away" he said looking at Wolfram who's is badly wounded and tired at his lap.
"Don't worry Yuri. Wolfram is a strong mazoku. After this mess, we will tend to his wounds right away" he said to Yuri the stood facing his soldiers.
"Arrest the enemies!" he ordered.
Yozak and two of his men took Juno meanwhile VV protested at the soldiers surrounding her. She was confused to what is happening at the present. 'What's going on here?' she thought, as she was surrounded by group of men pointing their swords at her. She became worried and uncertain what to do. She saw someone coming close to Yuri but couldn't determine who it was since men block her view to see him. So she needs to get out she thought. She started attacking one by one who stood her way to Yuri. Conrad became aware of the group of their men struggling with someone from the enemies.
"What's happening there?" Yozak curiously asks to the soldier next to him.
"I-I think they couldn't handle the girl who was with his Excellency" he answered doubting what he just said.
"It's that girl before" Conrad mumbled. 'Who is she?' he thought. Unexpectedly they heard whistling sound again and then it became irritating. 'Again with this noise, where is it coming from?' they all thought except for those who heard it for the first time. Everyone was affected by noise.
"What is that sound?" Yuri said.
"Yuri stay here." Conrad said to Yuri while suppresses the noise determines where it was coming from.
'What is this sound?' she said as though she felt her eardrums would explode any second. Because of the noise she was too weaken like the others. She looks around her and saw the whistler stood holding a metallic whistle on his mouth. He went straight to his captain kicking those who held him and wake him eventually. When his came to his sense, he praised the whistler,
"Good job, boy. Let's get moving." The whistler nodded while helping him.
They immediately walk to Yuri, planning to kidnap him again but then Conrad stood against them.
"I won't let you take our king again" He said and pointed his sword at him.
He was still affected by the noise and couldn't master his balance. The whistler felt frightened by Conrad and he accidentally made the noise in a high pitch.
"Ahhh!" They all screamed in pain and passed out eventually. Juno punches Conrad in his face as an act of self revenge. He felt very pleased by punching him and they continue to get Yuri. His heart aches more than the noise hurts him. He screamed in pain as the others but the pain fades as he became unconscious. Then everything got very silent, and a huge wave of aura was felt. Juno and the whistler were alarmed with the great energy they can feel ahead of them. The whistler's power was prevented and the noise disappeared.
"What was that?" VV asked herself referring to a weird feeling she feels in the air and visibly circulates Yuri. The noise did made her passed out but because of the massive energy flowed in the air it made her awake for some reason. Then again with the wave of massive energy flowing the air. It is as if though they'll be blown by this wave of energy. Near her was Conrad lying on the ground, she went to him.
"Hey. Hey, mister" VV wakes Conrad. His eyes open and at first he thought seeing his beloved Susannah Julie worried for him eventually fades as his sight cleared.
"Who are you?" Conrad asks as he stares at her.
"I'm Yu-Chan's friend and you're prince Charmin's brother right?" She asked him. Conrad felt confuse to who's Prince Charming was, but then when VV told him.
"Something's happening to Yu-Chan." he quickly looks for him. He followed the direction where the enormous energy coming and as he expected.
"He's turning to his Maoh mode." He said.
"What's a Maoh mode?" she asked but wasn't given an answer as though it isn't unexplainable or it wasn't the right time to talk about it.
"The real Demon King is coming." Juno said as he felt happy yet scared that at last he will see the true form of the demon king. The whistler not as sturdy as Juno was about to get blown by the wave if not saved by his captain.
"Stab your whistle to the ground. It will serve as our barrier for the moment." Juno instructed the whistler complied with his will and a barrier was created. Yuri's power was more terrifying than they thought as he slowly turns into his Maoh mode. He stood beside Wolfram who was still sleeping at the moment. He turns to look at Juno. He sure was angry with them.
"All Hail to the Demon King!" Juno and the whistler shouted as they bowed to their knees, much unexpected from those two. Were they thinking of fooling Yuri in that state? Or it's truly an act of devotion to him?
"What do you think you're doing?" Yuri or the Demon King asks them in disbelief of their action.
"We are you're soldiers, your Majesty! We are here to heed your words and protect you, Your Majesty" Juno says facing the ground.
"Nonsense!" Yuri shouted at them yet controls his anger. He looks down seeing Wolfram and then everyone at one moment. He also stared to VV. Their actions and what they saying don't match.
"You kidnap me. You hurt me and my friends and tried killing them! Where is your devotion on that?" Yuri reprimanded their actions and to make them confess.
"Pardon us, your majesty, but our actions were for a cause. We had to kidnap you because we know you won't come with us voluntarily" he answers, it had a point but that doesn't convinces Yuri instead it made him more angry. The force around him gets bigger than usual.
"Hurt my friends, your hurt me. Kill my friend, is the same as killing me. You are not pardon to the sins you have committed and you need to be punished!" Yuri said and summons the element of the earth into forming a long rope that shall bind Juno and the whistler. The leaves and sand flowed with the wind slowly covers their bodies. They tried to save themselves but mere force they couldn't do it.
"We need to stop him!" VV suggested as she tried getting crouching towards Yuri. Conrad immediately grabs her hand stopping him. At the moment they were being protected by a barrier deflecting Yuri's power, and if they leave the area they might caught up with the waves of energy Yuri dispersing.
"It's no use. You can't get near him. You'll just get blown away!" Conrad said to her but she was she was stubborn to listen to him.
"I don't care." She says as she watching Yuri who turned into Demon King.
"Yu-Chan is in danger" turns to look at Conrad seriously. "What did you say?" he asked confuse to what VV meant.
"If he continues to release his powers more, the ground below him will break." She said pointing to visible huge crack in the ground. His attention centered to Yuri he didn't notice the ground was already breaking around him and if it does he'll fall off the cliff with Juno and his companion. Before he knew it, VV runs to Yuri. 'What is she planning to do when she gets to Yuri?' Conrad thought watching her running to him then he noticed she was running freely. She was unaffected by Yuri's power.
"Boy! Give me the stone!" Juno commanded the whistler and he threw him a bright red stone from his pocket. Juno quickly catches it with his mouth and grinds it. But at that moment his body was all covered up with leaves, twigs and dirt. The same was for his companion. They were no longer able to move, nor breathe. But still there was uncertainty in the air, and the Demon King felt cautious and threatened. What was the red stone for? He thought.
"Yu-Chan!" VV shouted who was 5 meters away from him. She was holding her knees breathing heavily. She looks at Yuri who was also facing at her. Yuri's expression was stoic. It felt he doesn't know her, at the same time was interested with her.
"Yu-Chan, stop it . . . please!" she requested. He looks over VV and then two of his friends looking at him, Wolfram and Conrad. In an instant Yuri fainted and his power dispersed in the air. VV immediately came to him worried.
"Yu-Chan, Yu-Chan" she panicked and started crying. "Yu-Chan, don't leave me…" then she felt a hand behind her head patting her. Yuri was smiling at her. She hugs him tightly.
"Stupid Yu-Chan, don't scare me like that." She cried again,
Suddenly they heard a familiar voice.
"You insolent unrefined scoundrel! How dare you to be intimate with someone!?"
Their guess was right when they turn to look behind them they saw Wolfram cursing them. At the same time they also felt relieved. Wolfram woke up in Conrad's care. Conrad felt glad his brother woke feeling much better. They both watched as Yuri fainted and his powers disappeared. Conrad assisted his younger brother and walked to Yuri. Then when they got near, they saw them being intimate by which VV was hugging Yuri.
"Wolfram!" Yuri called him delighted but then again terrified as the moment, he particularly sensing why he was angry. He immediately explaining,
"This, this is nothing. VV is my friend. We're not being intimate at all!" VV faces Wolfram, staring at him.
"Don't mess with me!" Wolfram yelled at him.
"Now, now. Don't start fighting. We should be glad all things end well." Conrad was saying.
All the soldiers who fought the battle were relieved that finally they thought it's finished and the majesty is safe. They all went near to Yuri and everyone. In everyone hearts they feel glad. But still Wolfram and VV was having an eye to eye battle.
"Hahahaha, I thought I saw lightning between those two. Why are they all worked up for?" Yozak meddles with them.
"Yozak!" Yuri shouted.
"Young master. I'm glad you're doing well" he says.
"Do you intend to stay like that Yuri?" Wolfram begrudgingly said to Yuri as he and VV was still sitting on the ground holding each other. When they realized, Yuri and VV immediately stood with perks of redness in their cheeks. Wolfram tried walking towards them and separates Yuri from VV. But VV protests like a child.
"No! Don't take Yuri away from me." VV said childishly said pulling Yuri's arm.
"Yuri's not yours so back off!" Wolfram said holding Yuri's other hand."
"As if, he's yours!" VV replied.
"Yes, he is mine." Wolfram answered back. Conrad laughs and said,
"It's good that they get along with each other."
He watches them as it became a tug war and Yuri was the rope. Poor Yuri, he begs the two to stop but they won't. Not until Yozak interrupted pulling VV towards him.
"By the way, Young majesty. Who is this brave young girl with you?" Yozak asks holding VV's head like a kid.
"VV-Chan?"
As her name was mentioned by Yuri, all of their eyes fell on her. Both she and Yuri remembered that they forgot to introduce her to them. She gently grabs Yozak's hand and put it down.
"Sorry for the late introduction, my name is VV and I'm Yu-Chan's childhood friend. Please to meet you." She bows down and greeted them. They all did some introduction of themselves.
"VV please to meet you too. I'm Conrad Weller."
"And I'm Yozak, the captain's assistant."
And when it came down to Wolfram, he snobs her likewise did VV. Everyone laughs at them.
"It seems that they already know each other." Conrad chuckled. VV remembered her sudden curiosity.
O_o
Then something or someone ruined the mood.
"Ahhhhhh!" someone screamed. At the time they turn to look, they saw five men are already rolling, and thrown away from them. It was terrofying. All who were left standing became alert as to whatever is attacking them.
"What happened?" Wolfram said moving in front of Yuri while VV held Yuri's arms beside him.
"Be alert everyone." Conrad and Yozak held out their swords waiting for any noise or image of their enemy.
Never have they had notice he has been playing all along. He was very fast that they couldn't catch his motions even if he stood beside them or in front of them. But all of them can sense he was near.
"Yuri, just stay at our back. Don't go anywhere." Wolfram worryingly said.
"Sure, I'm fine standing here." he affirmed. Then he turns to VV telling her the same thing but she wasn't longer behind him. 'She was holding arm all time, how could she disappear all of the sudden without me knowing?' Yuri thought feeling very concerned to her.
"VV! Guys! VV is gone!" Yuri told them. All of them were surprised. VV was so near to them yet they hadn't known she was already gone. They went closely to Yuri as Wolfram holds his hand. Their eyes wandered everywhere and then they heard someone laughing.
"Here. Here. No. Not that way. Here we are." Someone said in sarcasm. And that someone was surprisingly a hideous looking monster. He had a brown skin, long hair, very huge muscles, torn shirts, and visible red eyes. He appeared holding up VV in the air.
"A monster!" Yozak announces and quickly approaches him but the monster blocks him using VV in his hands.
"Yozak don't!" they said in unison.
"What do you have here? A weakness, ey?" the monster again says in sarcasm and kicks Yozak knocked him off. Though his voice was a bit louder and croaky voice,
"That's impossible… he couldn't be" Yuri mumbled. Yuri was sure that the monster they are dealing is Juno.
"Do you know him Yuri?" Wolfram asks him.
"I guess your great majesty finally recognizes me." The monster says.
"He's the one who kidnapped Yuri" Conrad answered.
"Correct!" Juno says smirking as he went behind them and swings his arm throwing Wolfram far from Yuri in an instant. He was faster and stronger they all thought.
"Wolfram! How dare you!" Yuri yells at him and tried attacking him but then he appears behind him.
"And what will you do your majesty?" he teased him and pushing him lightly. Conrad immediately catches him. VV who he kidnapped punches and kicks him with her might. She was angry with visible tears flowing in her eyes.
"So you're mad now?" Juno laughs her as he stares at her fiercely.
VV mumbles cursing words under her breath but couldn't go through as hand was on her mouth.
"What? Did you say something? Oops, I forgot I have my hand at your mouth" He laughed.
But still VV stared at him furiously which made Juno annoyed.
"You're such an irritating woman, and I like that! I'll make you my wife instead!" he said laughing hysterically.
Taking the chance, Conrad tackles him behind making him fall to the ground releasing VV. Yuri quickly catches her swiftly. Then Conrad was vigilant holding his sword facing him. When Juno got up he immediately attacks Conrad. He dodges him and tries attacking him with his sword but then Juno purposely catches his sword by his hand. He held his sword grinning and breaks it. But Conrad's determination never wavers and desperately he attacks Juno with a punch. Juno dodges it by then Conrad made a turnaround kick hitting Juno in the face. But he wasn't hurt, seeing his face he was smirking looking down at Conrad. He grabs Conrad's foot and tosses him hard on the ground. "Bam!" the ground cracks along with Conrad's body.
Yuri and VV fell in shock Juno has just killed all of their friends and they are the only ones left. Tears flowed down in their cheeks. Yuri was angry and felt terrified for they couldn't even be in spar with this monster. While VV weeps for the death of her new friends, she tries her best to stop her lament. Yuri acts brave as he could want to protect the only person he's with, VV. Juno turns around and looking at them pitifully.
"So what do you plan now your majesty?" Juno hypocritically asks Yuri in a polite manner while he walks slowly near them.
"Stay back!" Yuri yelled at them. Then he replied him with a smile and disappears and reappears from place to place.
"Do you know that it's hard to breath and move in your power" he says playing them.
"What do you want?" Yuri shouted.
"YOU" he answered where his ugly face was very close with Yuri's. Yuri shoved him off but he immediately disappeared by motions of images he displays.
"Wow! Having this power is so great! I'm faster, and stronger than anyone here! I killed all your men in few seconds." He praises himself.
"And the only one left is to get you." He said pointing out to VV. Yuri covers VV behind him as she was holding tightly. 'I… I don't want to leave Yuri, not even second.' VV was murmuring to herself. 'I…want to be with him' He slowly walks normally towards them. 'Forever'
"I'll do everything I can to protect you. I won't let him touch you!" he said aloud but slowly VV releases her hand from him. He became concern and turns to look at her.
"No, you used your powers already you'll faint again and I don't want that to happen." She says. 'How does she know that?' Yuri thought.
"Let me the one to save you Yu-Chan" She said
"You can't. He's stronger than before. You can't win to him this time." Yuri insisted grabbing her arms
Juno over hears what they were saying made a hunch.
"Trying to be brave, ey? Let her try, your majesty. It will be my pleasure to teach her" he said.
"No!" Yuri replied but in an instant Juno attacks them hitting VV in the stomach.
She pukes and got slapped in her cheeks throwing her near the cliff. Yuri was in a shock and angry. He attacks Juno behind him but it was too weak that could hurt him.
"Why?" he asks.
"Huh?" he replied.
"Why? Why are you doing these to us?"
"Oh, have you forgotten your majesty? I am here to get you" he explains and grabs Yuri in the collar raising him high from the ground choking him.
"But you shouldn't have to hurt my friends" he said barely.
He sniggers. "You know, I don't give a damn care about your friends!" He yelled at his face and punches him in the stomach and rendered him a bit unconscious.
"Okay, mission accomplished. Next is, how to travel back home. Hmmm…"
He picked Yuri up to his shoulders and walked to look for a horse to ride with. But all the horses run away from him which made it problem for him. Before long, he was strike by a slashing object wounding his back. He knelt to ground coughing blood and turns to look who hurt him and surprised VV standing slowly walking towards him. He then places Yuri in the ground not using him in this battle. Luckily for him he has fast regeneration which heals his wounds in seconds.
'So she's one of them, ey?' he thought "You're a majoku? As I suspected" he was saying then a slashing object hits him again.
'What's hitting me?' he scans her to what deadly matter she holds but there was nothing. He couldn't see the thing that slices him. 'How can that be?' then it hits him again in the shoulder but much lighter. Then she collapses. 'What was that? But anyway this is my chance' he immediately runs to her and lifted her from the ground. How nostalgic. She was badly wounded as her blood kept running from her head. When he was about to hurt her, her eyes opened glaring at him then multiple cutting edge objects hits him. His body was grossly cut up into pieces in which might made his regeneration got slow. Yuri watched the situation not that clear as he was still half awake but he could see Juno was dying from VV in unknown manner. Curiosity and concern got him and he gets up to his feet and tried walking. He reached VV lying on the ground. VV looks dead. He checks on her pulse and relieved she wasn't yet. He sat beside her, crying. His tears were raining to her face. He looked over his friends Wolfram, Conrad, Yozak and the soldiers lying down, dead and now VV was dying. He was the only one left. What should he do? Should he die with them? Out in a blue, he heard someone near him he thought. He looks everywhere but he couldn't.
"Demon King" the voice called him. Then he looks at VV below him but she was still unconscious. It was impossible it was her.
"Demon King, what is your wish?" he heard again and figures the voice comes from VV. He stopped crying. "How? how" he mumbles.
"Time is running up, Demon King. Give me your wish and I will grant it for you"
"Why are calling me Demon King? Who are you?"
"We've met before when you were still a child, but now I need your wish. Do you wish for me to bring back what you have lost?"
"Lost?" he asks, and replied by a scold. "No more question Demon King. Give me your wish already!"
"Sorry! Sorry! Yes I do! I wish you to save the lives of my friends!"
"Was that so hard? Wish granted" the voice affirmed then aurora appeared above them and rain down sparkling dust on everyone. Before long, everyone wakes up and wondered what happened. All of their wounds and broken bones were healed. They were completely healed and normal. It was amazing.
"Yu-Chan, did you cry?" VV asked Yuri watching the miracle happening.
"VV-Chan!" he hugged her tight.
"Oh my. I'm completely healed!" VV cheered.
"Where's that monster?"
"You don't remember?" Yuri got surprised that she forgot she just did. She was the one who killed Juno.
"What should I remember?"
"Nothing, there he is" he replied pointing what was left to Juno. As she saw him she felt puking and turns to Yuri crying again.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm happy your safe." she just said and cried. She cried because she saw a splitting image of her aunt when she looked at him and she doesn't want to tell it to Yuri.
"What happened to him?"
"I'm not sure if I know either"
"Let's check out the others?" Yuri suggested brightening the mood. "Yeah" to her surprise Wolfram came charging them and pushing VV at a side and stared Yuri.
"That was the last straw!" Wolfram yelled him.
"Wolfram you're okay! I'm glad" he replied making by hugging him. Wolfram was touched but later on he let go.
"Do you feel okay?" and surprisingly Wolfram blushes and nodded silently. Then someone at their back VV made a coughing sound smiling at them and the cute blushing mood of Wolfram turns immediately into irritation.
"Do you know what happen, Yuri?" Conrad came interfering pointing out the sliced up Juno.
Then someone yelled "Captain, its moving!"
They awed in a condition to which what they are seeing is not a day to day scene, it wasn't normal. Everyone else came to see him except for VV and Wolfram with Yuri who they won't let him get near a meter to him.
"I think he's healing itself." A soldier guessed while poking his sword to Juno.
"What do we do captain?" another soldier asks Conrad being frightened of what happened a while ago will take place again.
Then the monster they were observing shouted loudly with big force of wind or energy which made everyone around him tossed unprepared. Even though he wasn't thoroughly healed Juno stood and run to kidnap Yuri once again and he succeeded from getting him once again but VV and Wolfram hold his feet to stop him.
"You can't steal him again from us" Wolfram said to him.
Everyone was alarmed Juno just threw Yuri in the cliff. Wolfram lets go off him running toward the cliff and as he reaches it he jumps off to get hold Yuri. VV also jumped to catch Wolfram and Conrad take hold on to VV as everyone hold on him to help him. Wolfram and Yuri reached for each other. Their fingers closely closing in and it did. Yuri got hold of Wolfram's hand! But then everyone's happiness turned into depression when Yuri's hand slips from Wolfram's. They watched their king falling in the river below the cliff.
"Yuri!" Wolfram yelled as he was watching him fall.
"Let me go!" he said to VV.
"NO. I can't!"
"Let me go or else I'll cut off your hand off!" Wolfram became very irritated glaring at VV threatening her. She felt very hurt, it's not that she doesn't care for Yuri but she couldn't also let Wolfram fall. She also wanted the same.
"Sorry" She said not looking at him.
Wolfram gives up while he holds in the feeling burning inside him. As the soldiers and Conrad pull them up, Wolfram felt water in his face. It was tears falling down to him. VV was crying he realizes. Conrad pulled VV in seeing her crying greatly without any noise. He pitied her but then again was very sad for Yuri. Conrad sat beside the crying VV worried for her as she backs away from everyone. Then Wolfram stood in front of VV angry.
"Why didn't you let go of me? If you had, I could have save Yuri in the riverbank!" he yelled at her but she ignored him. Wolfram felt very irritated and grabs her in the shoulder while he pushed away Conrad from her side.
"Tell me!" he shouted but she didn't respond. "I could have saved him!" He yelled again shaking her body.
"That's enough Wolfram" Conrad said stopping him from blaming VV to what happened. He lets go of her.
"VV, are you alright?" Conrad asks her, "Brother! Why are you taking side to a stranger! We don't even know that she might be an enemy!" He interrupted.
"Wolfram, you shouldn't blame VV to things she didn't do!" He scolded him. "But, brother, she could have planned these things from the start!"
"Enough!" he just replied.
He was the same as doubtful to VV's identity therefore he couldn't tell if he was wrong or right. The only thing he takes hold of was that Yuri introduced her as his friend and he will respect that.
Silence consumed the moment as they grieved but Conrad thought otherwise. There still a chance Yuri is still alive, he thinks positively. So he ordered everyone to be ready to leave the place. They plan to scan the place in the end of riverbank to the chance Yuri might be there. Meanwhile, VV didn't move in her spot nor tried moving. Conrad as a kind a person and for Yuri's sake he went to her. He reached her but she didn't respond to him.
"VV, we're going to the riverbank to look for Yuri. Come on let's go find him together."
He was ignored again. He leaned down to look at her face feeling bothered to her and saw her eyes closed while her lips was chanting something. It was just like Juno did when they heard the whistling sound but surely it shouldn't be like that. He grabbed her shoulder letting her face him listening to what she was saying.
"Yuri… Yuri… bring back Yuri to me… bring him… time… reverse the time to me… him back from where he was with me… give him back… the only one…" the only words he could clearly understand. He felt curious to what he says but it might as that she was getting crazy.
"VV, Yuri fell off the cliff but there is a chance he's still alive. Let's look for him there, understand?" he tried talking to make sense out of her and she responded. She responded by shaking her head and said,
"No" and looked at him….
