Ah, yes! Is what you are most likely thinking since I have at long last put this fresh chapter up so, I shall not further cause annoyance and provide you the limited joy in reading this chapter…

Chapter 4: Departure at last.

"Conrad, we are leaving soon." Yuuri said. Here he was, standing, in the royal castle bathhouse, in warm water up to his waist.

"Your majesty, you are sure about this?" Conrad asked. He knew that once Yuuri set his mind on to something it was hard to change but it was his duty to ask anyway.

"Yes Conrad absolutely, I am going." Yuuri had a determined look on his face. Conrad smiled, Yuuri really was growing up.

Yuuri, as you know was in the bath house. The big pool like place where all the men (and women) of the castle came to clean and cleanse themselves. He though, was here to be transported to earth. Yuuri would have like to go to the temple (for his transportation) as was appropriate for such a trip but, Murata had done something nasty there…Yuuri didn't even want to think about it. Goosebumps arose on his skin at the thought.

"Majesty, is it true that you are leaving!?" A desperately love blinded Gunter cried as he burst through the tall wooden doors that were the entrance to this place. "Are you really leaving behind your beloved kingdom and me along with it?" Günter's eyes sparkled with big unshed (but threatening to fall) tears. Gunter looked at Yuuri hopefully through his tears… Then at that exact moment it seemed that Gunter realised where he was and what he was looking at.

Blood threatened to spurt out of Günter's long, white aristocratic nose as he saw the serene vision in front of him. To him it seemed that Yuuri was standing in a pool of pure blue and translucent water, stripped down to his waist with only a little black material on beneath. Yuuri's lithe body stood in the shimmering water in a teasing angle and crystal water drops slid over his lean firm muscles as he lazily smiled at Günter who watched captivated.

Ah. Günter and his wild imagination… When would he learn?

In truth Yuuri was looking at Gunter uncomfortably and oddly. "Ah, Gunter, you don't need to melt onto the floor. I'll be back from earth soon."

"Oh Majesty!!..." With that said with a deep restless sigh Gunter ran out of the room clutching his nose with what looked surprisingly like blood slipping through his fingers.

Yuuri's nose twitched. He smelled the blood. His body wanted blood and he hungered for it. Quickly he made his mind think other thoughts like… why was he still standing in water with only small black shorts on?(he had refused to wear those tiny and tight black undies-they revealed far to much) …oh yes, yes he was waiting for Wolfram. Yuuri had planned to go to earth alone. He was the Maoh and strong enough to protect himself but of course Wolfram wanted to come too. Yuuri thought why he even bothered about thinking that the blonde soldier would not come where ever he went.

Yuuri sighed. What was taking Wolfram so long…?

Abruptly, with his acute hearing, he heard some one approaching the outer door and quickly realised who it was. He straightened his posture and fixed his eyes to the door.

The door opened steadily and in stepped Wolfram vehemently. Yuuri's heart beat faster at the sight of Wolfram like that.

Wolfram walked toward the water where Yuuri stood and Yuuri's eyes followed unwillingly at his every mesmerizing step.

Wolfram golden hair swung from side to side as he marched over. His slim body walked with grace and his lean muscles moved smoothly under his silky looking skin. His face was tinged with pink since he was embarrassed about not wearing a shirt.

Wolfram had opted for a longer pair of shorts then Yuuri that were an exquisite royal blue. Yuuri thought Wolfram looked quite good in them and that Wolfram skin just begged to be touched… then, quickly realising the turn his thoughts were taking, stopped.

Yuuri had to get a hold of him self. This vampire business was already driving him nuts with all the stuff he had read in the book about how he would love the person whose blood was best to him and now he was starting to have feeling for his 'best friend' (he had always been a friend right?) whose blood seemed hell bent on tempting him. Yuuri tried to clear his mind and repeat these words in his mind like a mantra: friends, friend, friends, friend… and so on.

Splash. Wolfram sighed inwardly as he stepped into the water oblivious at that moment to all around him. The warm water felt soothing on his bare skin and at least he legs were covered. Embarrassing to think he had walked in front of Yuuri and Conrad in nothing but a short piece of cloth.

Speaking of Yuuri…Wolfram turned his head to where Yuuri stood. Yuuri was staring at him with bugged-eyes eyes.

"W-What!?" Wolfram practically shouted in his embarrassment. He had not expected that expression on Yuuri's face. It was like he… Did he have something on him? Frantically, Wolfram looked all over himself twisting everyway which way to see if there was something ridiculous on him.

No, there was nothing.

He was about to look at Yuuri to ask him for an explanation to the expression when he felt a bar of soap underneath his foot. The next thing he knew Wolfram was on the tiled floor of the pool…Underneath a ton of water. Wolfram hit his head with a bang and felt a curtain of darkness closing in on him from all sides of his vision. Oh Crap, he thought. Just when he was about to go to see this 'earth' of Yuuri's he just had to slip on a bar of soap that one of the men had probably carelessly left behind. He would get those men he decided, and make them pay!

Suddenly a hand grabbed him and yanked at him hard so he was abruptly pulled out of the water. He took in a delicious gulp of air that had been denied to his lungs until his face was pushed into someone's chest. His face started to turn pink.

Wolfram felt someone's smooth hand rubbing his back. He coughed out some water and the arms that had been holding him gently pushed him away to give him room to breath.

"Wolfram, are you okay?" A worried Yuuri asked as he looked at wolfram.

Wolfram's heart beat skyrocketed as he fully realised that it had been Yuuri's firm and muscular chest that he had been held to and Yuuri's smooth hand that had rubbed his bare skin. Wolfram twitched.

"He's twitching..." Yuuri said to no one in particular.

"I am completely fine!" Wolfram said loudly. And he was fine excluding the fact that he had just had his most intimate moment with Yuuri and it had all been un-intentional Life was so cruel.

Yuuri smiled at wolfram –Wolfram was so predictable. Yuuri him self blushed a little as he thought about what he had just done. In the moment of an emergency he had not really realised how close he had been to Wolfram's bare skin. He inhaled and the scent that came back twice as strong that Yuuri's mouth once again started to feel full. Quickly he turned his face away and willed the fangs back inside. Then he turned back to Wolfram.

"Wolfram I'm not sure that you should go." He moved a little to point to the back of Wolfram head. "I think you bruised your head a little."

Wolfram glared. "Thank you for saving me but I am still going with you to earth so don't think you can stop me…"

"I wasn't going to." Yuuri chewed the inside of his cheek thoughtfully. "I guess I'll get my mom to look at you head."

All this time Conrad had been the ever patient observer. Now he spoke. "Are you ready to go Maj-Yuuri?"

"Yes." Both of the boys said at the same time then looked at each other, turned pink and red then looked away hastily.

"Then I suppose I will say goodbye until we meet again" Conrad smiled. "And do not worry for we shall look at everything in the castle."

Yuuri smiled. "Thank you Conrad."

Yuuri looked expectantly at Wolfram. "Wolfram, give me your hand."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want us to get separated."

Quietly wolfram obeyed Yuuri's command even though he had butterflies fluttering in his stomach and he thought his knees might buckle.

Wolfram thought about Yuuri and his odd behaviour and Yuuri thought about Wolfram and about being a vampire. Yet, they both thought of each other.

There was a big swirling of water as a seemingly blue curtain of water covered the boys as they were sucked in and disappeared…

Conrad watched all this and smiled and then chuckled. He wondered if both boys would come to terms with some things and realise the things that everyone around them always knew. Smiling to himself, he walked out the door dragging with him a damaged Gunter he found outside the doors who had collapsed and melted all over the door.

And that chapter comes to an end… -sigh- I took a long time with that one but I wanted to make sure I had no grammar mistakes. You might notice that I used lots of adjective (describing word) Do you think I used a bit too much…?

Anyway……blah…blah…-sigh-… Okay let me think… First I should kindly remind you that I love people that take a few moments to drop a review because it shows you like the story and that I'm not writing typing crap… (I don't think I type crap…) … (Ya I don't…)

Well, I just want to say (for whatever reason) that other then Vampires I also love to read and watch about ancient civilizations. Specially Egypt. If you don't know much about Ancient Egypt I recommend you find some stuff about it. Read a book. It's pretty cool….of course, not as cool as vampires. Vampires shall always remain my truest love…

I have to go work on the novel I'm am trying to start (continue)…so review until I find the time to put up the next chap…Goodbye until then.
