Kokoro Wo Hirai Te

Normal POV

An older man sat behind his Oakwood desk, mumbling to himself and massaging his temples as the headache pulsed behind his eyes. He had been sitting here for what felt like days , trying to straighten his troops out and figure out how to go about in battle. Whenever he had time to take a break he silently cursed the idiot that decided to leave , but it's not like he had time to do that anymore. Besides the only reason he cursed the fool in the beginning, he remembered, was because of what his little brother had to go through. He knew Wolfram didn't want the throne especially after seeing how his mother had gotten. Another sigh followed that memory and he squashed it out by grabbing another piece of paper and making a chart of the troops.

The door creaked open and a smiling face greeted the frustrated glare. The brunette gave a slight laugh and walked over to sit in front of the man. "You know Gwendal, another crease is going to form on your forehead if you keep glaring."

"What is it you want Conrad? We don't have time for this."

A sigh was released from the half human and a frown was apparent now. "I know….you're right. As for why I'm here , Yozak has gotten back from his mission and would like for all of us to discuss what he found out about the human nation."

"Fine. Tell him to meet us in a few minutes."

"In Wolfram's quarters? You know he will want to hear as well."

"……..I'll be there in a moment."

Conrad gave a nod and got up, taking his leave and shutting the door behind him quietly. Gwendal stood , facing the window and what used to be angered eyes, turned into sadness as he clenched his fist. He cursed everything but it all just came back to Yuuri in the end. For once he had actually given trust and protection to someone outside the castle even after despising the kid when he first came here. But in the end Yuuri turned his back on his kingdom and made his life hell. Not only for himself but for his whole family and if he were to come across Yuuri again, he'd make sure to destroy hi and bring him back only to destroy him again.

His back turned the window and his black ponytail flipped in the air as he left the room, missing the image outside of two double blacks running in the training grounds.

The room was dull and boring, the only bit of color was the floor with a deep red carpet to contrast against the dark cherry desk that sat in the middle of the room. Darkened emerald irises faced upward at the four that stood in front of his desk, the fifth making his entrance later than the others. He gave a sigh and motioned for them to go ahead and talk as he sat his pen down on the desk, giving them his full attention. The blond headed mazoku looked at the double black and noticed that he was acting different, but ignored it as being just something Murata did. Little did he know the black headed sage was desperately hoping to Shinou that nobody noticed the addition to the storage closet. Had Murata known Yozak was back and there was going to be a meeting he never would have snuck Yuuri over to spy on the others.

Yozak took his seat on one of the many chairs and glanced at their king, who seemed to have aged so much. What was once a fiery, spoiled child was now mature to the point he could easily mistake him as somebody Gwendal's age if he didn't know any better. Lively emerald eyes were now a dull green and even the way his hair shone like the sun before, now seemed to be a soft wheat color that went past his shoulders some. The way his posture was seemed to be tired , but refused to give up on anything , and even his voice seemed to be deeper. Yozak closed his eyes and kept quiet about it all, besides he was sure everyone noticed by now, no use preaching to the choir.

Conrad gave a cough and looked at Wolfram who was staring at Murata, with his eyebrow raised and Conrad couldn't help but smile knowing his little brother was in there somewhere. "As you've noticed Yozak is back and we figured he could tell us all at the same time what he found out."

Wolfram turned his full attention to his brothers and he gave a nod towards Yozak.

Yozak sat up a little straighter and got into his business mode, his blue eyes looking towards the king. "Would you like a story or just what's important?" He gave a smirk.

"….You know we just need the important facts…"

"Neh, such a party pooper anyways, we did our investigation and there wasn't much that we could confirm right away. We kept hearing them talk about having some secret weapon, but as we looked and talked to more people it seems more like a rumor than anything."

"So your being there was a waste?"

"Eh, not really." He gave a playful wink. "It seems they have their own leader who claims himself as human , but I could tell right off the bat there was something different about him. Just doesn't feel right to me."

"But you don't know what isn't right with him…"

"Uh…no, just a gut feeling. None of his soldiers said anything was out of the usual, and I couldn't get close to his little bodyguard."

This time Conrad peeped into the conversation. "Bodyguard?"

Yozak gave a nod. "Yeah, little bugger would go step by step with the guy and whenever one of the soldiers acted out of line all he'd have to do is look at them and they'd return to their duties."

"Well that's nothing different. It's the same here…"

Yozak just shrugged his shoulders. He didn't know what to think of it, sure they wouldn't disobey, but with the way they seemed to have a emotionless face as they turned back around was what got to him.

The room was stuffy and cramped as Yuuri tried to get situated. He let out a light huff, not quite understanding why he had to be with the cleaning equipment. Okay, that's a lie, he completely understood, but in a friggin' closet?! He could have easily stayed in the temple or better yet he could have returned home , so that way he wouldn't have to face everyone after leaving them all. But he doubted he could leave that easily not after being told what was going on. He wanted to see how everyone was coping, especially Wolfram and Greta. Greta…..how he missed his adopted daughter, but he doubted she'd want to see his face after so long.

He gave a gasp as he moved inside the closet and the next thing he knew all of the brooms and bucket clattered around him and slammed against the door, surely making noise for one of the maids to hear if they were around. He hoped to Shinou that it went by unnoticed, but with how he acts his doom was sure to come soon enough.

Without skipping a beat the door popped open, revealing what must have been a new maid as her purple hair and green eyes looked at Yuuri in horror.

"G—ghost!!!!Theres a ghost of the old king!!!!!!"

"Uh…h-hold on a mo-gah!" He tripped trying to get to the purple dressed maid that scurried down the hallway trying to get somebody's attention.

Thoughts of his oncoming death if word got out was the only thing that ran through his head as he hurried after the maid. He turned the corner and as soon as he hit a person's back he knew he was in trouble. He looked up from the ground and came across a woman with dark brown wavy hair and eyes that matched. Her eyes widened at the sight of the man on the floor and she gave a gasp her mouth covered by her tan hand.

"G—Greta?" Yuuri asked in awe at the girl that used to be so little looked like she could be about his age only a few years younger.

"Y-yuuri?"

Bokura: And there is a cliffhanger ! Please don't hate me XD but next chapter we have meetings, perhaps or he could just have a nice little chat with Greta not sure yet ^^ But if you review I will figure it out a lot quicker heheh
