Disclaimer: Nope. The characters of Gravitation are not in anyway mine. Though, I wouldn't mind borrowing any of them for a while…
Shuichi reached forward and wiped away the sweat forming on Mizu's forehead.
He had found him, still passed out in the throne room; hours after Kaname and Yuki had departed.
Carrying the surprisingly, yet almost eerily light man to his room, he was unsuccessful at getting any servants to tend to him, all stating that they were forbidden by Lord Kaname to do anything for Mizu.
So, Shuichi took to caring for him himself.
As Shuichi tucked the covers tighter around Mizu, he stirred.
"K-- Lord Kaname?" Mizu asked, in a gentle voice from behind heavy lidded eyes.
It took Shuichi a moment to answer.
"N-No…" He murmured "It's Shuichi…"
Mizu tensed and forced his eyes open.
"Master Shuichi?" He asked "Forgive my rudeness." He began, trying to sit up "I--."
"Hey!" Shuichi, shouted, placing his hand on Mizu's bare chest, pushing him down to the bed. "Take it easy."
Mizu sighed and relaxed.
"How'd I get here?"
Shuichi smiled gently.
"I carried you."
An embarrassed blush spread across Mizu's face.
"T… Thank you."
"No problem." Shuichi made a motion to stand, but paused "Mizu?"
"Yes, Master Shuichi?"
"K… Kaname." He began "What… what is he?"
Mizu raised his eye at the obscure question.
'He... couldn't mean…'
"He's a Demon Lord." Mizu said, tentatively
"No." Shuichi said "That's… not what I meant…" Shuichi swallowed "Is Kaname… a Chaos Wielder?"
Mizu's eyes quivered.
"Tell me!" Shuichi ordered
Mizu let out a sign, and with some effort, sat up.
"Lord Kaname…" He murmured softly, his untied silver hair falling across his shoulders.
"Is he a Chaos Wielder?!" Shuichi asked, frantic.
Mizu let out a long sigh.
"He's a Chaos Wielder… with no Chaos to Wield."
Shuichi's eyes narrowed and he fell silent.
"Let me tell you… the sad story… of Demon Lord Kaname Yuki. The Chaos-Less Wielder."
REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!
A.N. Hardly anyone reviewed the last chapter, so I'm kind of worried it totally sucked. Which makes me kind of nervous. But now I'm really focusing on filling in the blanks, and I will clarify the whole Kaname-Chaos Wielder thing. It's all in my head, now I just need to get it down on paper... and then on the computer… and then on the internet… Lolz. My brain works in funny ways. I hope to hear from a lot of you this time around!
