Chapter 8: Ryuu

-The Demon Emperor of the demon world took pity on the half-breeds ,born of the mating of the servant, and weak demons of the demon world, and so created a world between the world of Demons and the World of Humans where they could live in relative peace away from the stronger predators of the demon world; allowing the demons to take their conquered human slaves with them on the journey to the new world-

- A History of Us, Prince Rita Wincott

Working on the paperwork he'd neglected during his little holiday, Yuri tensed when someone dropped down from the rafters, before relaxing when he recognised Yozak's squad crest; this man was one of Yozak's.

"We've been able to locate a box matching your description in Big Cimaron's treasury." Reported the spy; after they'd found the box in Svelera Yuri had sent people to the original homelands of the aristocrats. He knew Bob protected the Wincott one, but that still left two unaccounted for. But it seemed they'd now located –if not yet obtained- one of the other missing forbidden boxes.

"What would you say about the likelihood of a successful extraction?" Yuri inquired, if the chances weren't good he'd need to get Ry in to do it.

"Unlikely."

Yuri nodded to this, having been expecting a hurdle to pop up somewhere along the way. "Please do what you can to gather more information about the situation for now."

It looked like it was time to try out Ry's theory.

Dismissing the Spy, Yuri made his way to his bedroom. He needed to collect his notes before he attempted this. After acquiring the goods, Yuri made his way to the bathroom after leaving a note on his bedside table; he wouldn't want to worry the others.

Bringing up a picture of his families bathroom, Yuri made sure to keep the day and year he wanted to arrive very clear in his mind. He didn't care about the time he arrived.

Walking into the bath pool, Yuri kept all this in mind while he walked. He didn't notice in his concentration the water surrounding him in a cocoon before pulling him through.

"Yu-chan!"

Snapping his eyes open, Yuri only then realised he was standing in the bath…with his mother. Closing his eyes, Yuri really wished this was just a dream, but he knew it wasn't.

Well, now he knew it worked at least.

"What did you do when you realised I was missing?" inquired Yuri as he ate an early dinner, still fighting an embarrassed blush at having seen his mother naked. He found out later he'd arrived on the right day thankfully; which meant he'd only been missing three days.

"After Murata-chan found your abandoned bike, we contacted Bob, who informed us you had begun traversing the worlds already." Confirmed Miko as she pulled something out of the oven –Yuri couldn't see what it was from where he was sitting- "How has your time as King been going?"

Yuri nodded "It's been good but busy. A lot of the people I deal with are very set in their ways, or the race divide, but I'm working at it." Most of which were the human kings or the old war veteran demon tribesmen. "I've gotten Bob to collect blueprints on different devices that don't require electricity as well as different plants and animals so I can improve the living conditions." admitted Yuri in an afterthought. Thinking his mother would like what he was doing to help his people.

Miko blinked in shock at that; not having expected Yuri to take that route. Though- Miko thought sadly- did she really know her son anymore? She knew he tried hard to pretend the war never happened for her sake, but she could still see the little habits Yu-chan still possessed even today from his time on the battlefield. Watching her son pick up the phone, Miko couldn't help wishing to go back to the days before the storm.

"Ry, I need you to come to Japan."

"Why? What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong per say. I just need your skill's with a problem over in Shin Makoku."

"Alright. See you in the morning."

"Bye" ending the call, Yuri put the phone down before returning back to the table.

"Ryuu's coming over tomorrow." Yuri informed her just as his dad and Shori arrived home.

"Honey~ your stripers here~!" Shoma and Shori Shibuya choked on their breakfast at that, while Yuri and Miko didn't bat an eye at the unusual greeting or the fact their guest has let himself in –likely by picking the lock- as Ryuu made his way to his place setting.

"How was the trip?" inquired Miko pleasantly as she started serving out a bowl of curry for Ry-chan.

"Windy, I even had to stop off in Australia before making the last jump" commented Ry before chowing into Miko's delicious curry.

Yuri snickered.

"Still haven't fixed that?" tease Yuri happily, images of Ry going ass over end running through his mind.

Ry sighed dramatically, "Sadly not. But then again wind is a flighty little element. I should be thankful I can control it the way I do." Mourned Ryuu sadly, until he tasted Miko's curry that is, then he was all smiles again.

"What's this problem you need me for?" inquired Ry once he had finished before rising to head to Yuri's room; knowing Shori-baka wouldn't be able to hold his tongue much longer.

"I need to acquire a dangerous box that's being guarded by an enemy too heavily for my own men to have a go." Admitted Yuri once he'd closed his bedroom door, "They don't possess the necessary skill set you have to accomplish it."

"The Box's?" demanded Ryuu, all the high ranking demons knew about the boxes existence in case the one Bob guarded got loose or Bob died expectantly.

"Yes"

"Which one?"

"Considering it was found in Big Cimarron, I'm guessing it's the box 'The End of the Wind' they have in their possession." Bob had made him memorise an old map that showed the different territories the demon tribe had once ruled over before the human rebellion. But when compared to a modern map the formally large territories were now made up of much smaller countries.

"Have a replica made we can switch it out with." ordered Ryuu, already thinking of a few plans on what little he knew. "I'll need to know the customs of the land I'll be heading to as well."

Yuri agreed readily.

It had taken them two weeks to get ready for this trip, with Shori constantly trying to hover over their work and having to wait for the decoy box to be made. Because of the size of the box, they had to use Bobs lake to travel; they had needed a private water source charged with magic to make the jump; the area around a demon tribesmen that could use magic naturally became charged with magic over time.

While Ryuu blanked his mind, Yuri concentrated on arriving the day after he'd left the bath as he released his magic into the water.

When they arrived, Yuri noticed it had taken more magic then last time to cross over, and that they hadn't arrived where he wanted. Hearing a grown behind them, Yuri and Ryuu's eyes twitched when they spotted Shori sprawled out behind them before taking stock of their surroundings.

"We could always say he drowned." Commented Yuri idly as he eyed his brother.

"They'd probably believe us more if we say he was eaten by a wild animal." Countered Ryuu; eyeing Shori similarly to one eyeing a bug. "He can swim after all."

"Sand Bears are well known to eat humans and demons alike." Admitted Yuri thoughtfully, before looking around at the forest and beach around them, "They don't live here though; not enough sand." Yuri sighed, just as Shori recovered from his shock.

"You're not drowning me or feeding me to some bear!" Shori screeched houdly.

No volume control that one.

Ryuu and Yuri's heads tilted to the side like curious innocent birds in response.

"Of course not, would we do a thing like that dear brother?"

Shori shivered, despite their words, the dead eyes and fake smiles said otherwise.

"Flair your magical aura" instructed Yuri as he stretched, happy with how terrified his brother currently was "The head maiden of the Great Ones temple can track us if we keep our magic exposed." Tho so can anyone else

Wandering the forest for a while, they soon came to the outskirts of what appeared to be a port city. Judging by the lack of bone tribesmen, Yuri surmised it was a human settlement they'd landed near.

"We need hair dye or wigs." Mumbled Yuri as he thought aloud, eyeing the small settlement in front of them "sunglasses or contacts too."

"Why would we need those?" demanded Shori, over his brief bought of fear

"There's a silent war between humans and demon tribesmen going on in this world." Answered Yuri, "Depending on what country we landed in, we could encounter anything from the humans having no problem with us to being hunted down and killed on site."

"How barbaric!"

"That's just life here." Answered Ryuu bluntly, before turning back to Yuri "Got money?"

Yuri nodded, handing the money he had on him over.

"What are you doing!"

"If I wet my hair, I can alter what light gets filtered; making it appear as if I have different coloured hair. But it only lasts so long as my hair is wet." Answered Ryuu, Ryuu was most well known in the Earth demon community for combining his magic with his knowledge of modern human sciences.

Two hours later, Ry returned from the village with hair dye and two pairs of sunglasses.

"tch. Don't think this changes nothing!" declared the soldier before storming off.

Lady Flynn was shocked and confused. He'd just unmasked her; could he not tell the difference between a man and women?

"I overlayed your face with the hallway portrait we saw coming in, only with scaring because of your story." Piped up Ry, startling Lady Flynn out of her shock as she turned to stare at her guests; the glowing fingertips giving away the fact they were demon tribesmen. "Though I'm curious as to why you seen to be ashamed by your gender of all things!"

"What do you want?" Lady Flynn demanded instead of answering.

"We wish for safe passage to the demon kingdom, and the Forbidden Box that lays hidden within this manor." It hadn't been until they'd actually entered the manor grounds that he'd noticed the familiar taint of the boxes. Suggesting a ward of some kind had been placed on the castle grounds

"In exchange for?"

"The alliance of the Great Demon Kingdom and help with the release and protection of Caloria's people"

Flynn's eyes widened as she realised what that meant; with the current Demon King the Great Demon Kingdom was becoming an economic powerhouse that could very well stand up to the likes of King Sara and King Belar easily.

Her prayers had been answered

"I accept your terms, King Yuri."

The next day, when Yuri stood before Lady Flynn, with her hands clasped within his own…the glare Yozak aimed at her from behind the King made it hard for her to contain her giggles; the man already having warned her not to touch his Yuri the night before. Having come to the Kings side when he'd heard whisper of him being in Caloria.

A squeeze of her hands brought her attention back to reality.

"I'm going to host a ball that you will need to attend," Flynn nodded "other Allies of the Demon Kingdom will also be in attendance, who I'll introduce you to and where you can look over the formal contract I'm going to have written upon my return. I also want you to bring what children you can with you when you do"

Flynn's eye's widened at that even as he suspicions rose. Children were a powerful hostage.

"I have a collection of children's books about to be launched designed to teach children about the customs of different countries. Which is why I wish to see the reaction of the children myself…One collection focuses on a girl named Anna, while the other focuses on a boy named Tom" elaborated Yuri when he noticed her look, "each book focuses on a different culture and is basically an educational book on the culture displayed from the perspectives of both genders." Yuri informed her nervously as he trailed off, remembering how some things sounded better in your head rather than when you actually said it. He was feeling like that right now.

Lady Flynn giggled at King Yuri's blushing face as she relaxed. It was entirely plausible considering the Kings previous ventures, and his hands on approach was well known to the other rulers. For all his maturity, he was still a child at heart. Escorting him onto the ship where his companions were waiting, Lady Flynn couldn't keep the small smile off her face.

The future of Caloria was finally looking bright!

Closing the room to his assigned cabin that night, Yuri sighed. Shori was already ranting about what he should be doing and what he was going to do once in his Kingdom. He'd have to tell everyone when he got back not to obey his idiotic brother.

Yuri was so distracted he was shocked to discover there was another in his room.

Yozak pulled Yuri into his arms and nuzzled his neck happily, ignoring the way Yuri squirmed in his arms at the sensation. It had been too long since they'd been able to spend proper time together. As Little Lord Brat knew Yuri's interest laid elsewhere, but not where they lay. Because of this the brat clung to Yuri like a leech most of the time.

Yuri purred proudly as he felt Yozak's potent erection throbbing behind him even as Yozak continued to nuzzle him in a particularly ticklish spot. Pushing back to rub against what he had been missing for the past two months, Yuri grinned cheekily when his actions earning a growl echoing from deep within Yozak's throat, only to gasp in shock and arousal as he found himself being flipped about until he was on his hands and knees on the bed with Yozak's much larger body atop his, making it impossible to do much else then move his ass a little.

Which he did.

A lot.

Strong hands covered his as soft nips and kisses were peppered long his neck and upper back as Yozak ground his erection against Yuri's willing globes. Yuri mewed as he relished in the gentle caresses and friction. It wasn't long before he heard the sound of Yozak's sword leaving its sheath and the seam preventing Yozak's entrance was cut. He'd discovered Yozak had a fetish for…could he call it clothes? He liked to make a hole he could fit through, before pounding him into the mattress; still fully clothed.

That or he was an exhibitionist who wanted to do it in public.

Yuri giggled at the thought, before gasping as his prostrate was stroked. Yozak had used Yuri's distraction to his advantage.

Yuri was ready.

Pressing in slowly -if maybe a bit too firmly in his impatience- Yozak kept up his otherwise gentle ministrations as he entered his gloriously tight lover -who was tighter than usual as it had been awhile- until his member was lodged firmly and balls deep into Yuri's entrance. Picking up an almost brutal pace, each thrust slapping soundly as Yozak slammed into his lover. Yuri shuddered as he came soon after, while Yozak growled happily, filling his Yuri with his seed; leaving him with a feeling of smugness even as he panted lightly from his efforts.

The sex had been short and intense but overall still very satisfying. Yuri was happy Yozak was always quite dominant in the bedroom -but not cruel- and still willing to cater to any whims he had. Though he thought that was because Yozak found great amusement in him riding him more than anything.

They had a very busy week ahead of them~!
