Hello friends, here is the next chapter of Whispers In The Dark. I hope you guys like it. I put some hard work into this, not to mention I added some plot. I hope you guys enjoy. More plot will be revealed next chapter. Enjoy.
It was night fall in Japan, the full moon high in the dark sky, its light shining in through the window of Yuri's bedroom window. Wolfram looked out said window, a small smile on his lips as he looked out over the city from the small view he had. He never realized how beautiful Earth was. It was so exotic, so different from Shin Makoku and the human countries. He felt he was at peace here, but, he still missed his home, back in the demon kingdom. However, what made this trip worthwhile was that he was with Yuri, celebrating his soon to be mother-in-laws birthday.
Wolfram really cared for Miko, or Jennifer as she calls herself for some unknown reason. She was like, Wolfram's second mother. She gave him that warmth that he wished his own mother gave him more of. She was a good mother, he wasn't saying otherwise, but she always cared about finding her true love, not to mention she herself was Maou at one point. The twenty-sixth Maou at that! She ruled over the demon kingdom well, but, she had her ups and downs during that time, but she got through it. But Miko, she was a mother of two, a housewife, but a very brave, smart and loving woman. She was a great wife to her husband, Shouma, which was what Wolfram wanted to become, he wanted to be the best lover he can be for Yuri's sake. But, that can only happen when Yuri finally mans up to his decision to marry him and finally wed.
That was all that Wolfram wanted. He just wanted Yuri to stop his insensitive flirting with other women and men for that matter, and finally settle down with him. Wolfram was a strong Mazoku warrior; his uncle was one of the ten aristocrats. He was not one to let this kind of thing end. He was going to marry Yuri; his pride was on the line.
His heart was on the line if this marriage did not work out.
He loved Yuri. It was true. He was completely against the marriage in the beginning, he didn't think it was fair that he was marrying such a weak human that just so happened to be the demon king. He felt insulted. He felt that he wasn't worthy of him. Wolfram's pride was on the line for this marriage. He let Yuri in. He did not want that decision to be a mistake. He did not want to regret opening his heart to the one man he ever loved.
They had a family. They had a beautiful daughter. Greta. She was such a good girl. She was a strong, independent woman who follows in her father, her papa and, well, in Anissina's footsteps. Greta knew what she wanted. She wanted to be a single woman who grew up to be a great a person as he father, as great a person as Yuri.
Wolfram smiled at the thought of his daughter waiting for him back home, he ignored the ache in his heart from the guilt of leaving her so suddenly, and he sighed placing his hand on his cheek. He loved Greta so much. She brought him and Yuri that much closer, whether Yuri noticed it or not, they were so much closer now than they were before. Hell, Yuri used to hate sleeping in the same bed with him, now that Greta is with them as well; he gets in like there is nothing stopping him. They may not sleep next to each other like he would want, but, just having him there was enough.
Wolfram felt his heart flutter at the thought.
"Wolfram, what are you doing?"
Wolfram looked over at the door, he saw Yuri standing at the door in his usual blue pajamas. He rubbed his eyes, the need for rest was evident in them that he needed it. Wolfram stood up from his spot beside the windowsill and stretched.
"I was waiting for you."
Yuri rolled his eyes. "Wolfram, we have plenty of guest rooms here in this house. Our house may look small but we have a guest room for you to use since Murata isn't here like I thought he would. So, why are you in here?"
"Well we usually sleep together, so, I guess I've gotten used to it. You know." Wolfram admitted a small and almost unnoticeable blush on his pale cheeks.
Yuri had a small blush of his own. He didn't like the way Wolfram worded that sentence but he had to agree with him. He has gotten used to sleeping in the same bed with Wolfram, but, his bed was pretty small, not to mention he may finally get plenty of sleep without having to worry about getting kicked out because of Wolfram's dreams.
"Well you can handle one night without me. I mean, this is my room." Yuri said.
Wolfram felt his face fall in disappointment; he could feel his heart cracking at Yuri's insecurities. Why was Yuri so nervous to sleep in his bed with him? Was it because Greta wasn't here? Would he really only sleep with him, if their daughter was there? He clenched his fists at his side. That insensitive jerk! Wolfram shook his head.
"Fine, I'll go." Wolfram mumbled. He wrapped his arms around himself. He felt a chill go down his spine. It must because he was wearing the pink night gown that Miko gave him. He made his way over towards the door. He didn't look at Yuri as he walked away. But he could feel Yuri's eyes on him. When he made it to the door and by Yuri's side, he looked over at him. "See you in the morning, Yuri."
Yuri's eyes sadden but Wolfram didn't know since he was already out into the hallway, heading towards the guest room. He clenched his hand around his heart, he felt like he messed up.
As Wolfram walked down the dimly lit hallway, he couldn't help but feel like he was being watched. It was a bit odd. He didn't like this. He wanted to be with Yuri. But, Yuri didn't want to be with him. He felt disappointed. He thought it was finally going to be his chance to be closer to Yuri. Apparently, he guessed wrong since Yuri is still a wimp.
"Wolfram, what are you wearing?"
Wolfram stiffened. He stopped in his tracks. He knew that voice. He turned around. Shouri stood behind him, his full of amusement as he looked back at the blonde. The blonde Mazoku felt like he was being looked at as an object they way Shouri was looking at him. But, he knew that Shouri knew that he was engaged to Yuri. Wolfram glared at him.
"Don't look at me, this outfit is only supposed to be seen by Yuri." Wolfram complained.
Shouri sighed. "Look Wolfram, you don't need to be so edgy. I'm not here to ogle you. That's Yuri's job." Wolfram gave him a look. "Besides, I was just concerned as to why you were out here and not with Yuri. What happened?"
Wolfram's face saddened. "Yuri didn't want me in his room tonight so he told me to stay in the guest room. That pathetic wimp can't handle being with just me for one night. Unbelievable."
Shouri rolled his eyes. "Yu-chan was always on the naïve side. He needs to man up."
"That's what I said." Wolfram mumbled to himself.
Shouri walled over to Wolfram and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Well come on, let's just get you to the guest room. You must be exhausted."
Wolfram tried to withhold a yawn from escaping his lips. He nodded. Shouri grabbed Wolfram's arm and began guiding him towards the spare room. Wolfram looked back towards Yuri's room. He didn't know what was going on with him, but, he just hoped that Yuri would snap out of it.
It was the middle of the night, it was absolutely silent throughout the house, and not a peep was heard. So, why couldn't he sleep? Yuri tossed and turned but sleep just would not come. He groaned and he lied on his back; he looked up at that ceiling above him. He didn't understand this at all. He thought that he was finally going to get a full night sleep now that he was home, but, for some reason, fate had other ideas. It just wasn't fair.
Yuri finally sat up from his comfortable bed and sighed. "Man, just what is going on?" He ran a hand through his black hair. He didn't understand. He used to be able to fall asleep instantly and stay asleep before, so why can't he now? It didn't make sense.
He looked out the window; he saw the full moon shining down on him. It was as if it was frowning down on him. He frowned himself. He looked down at his necklace. It shined brightly with its azure colors reflecting against the moonlight.
"What do you think I should do, Julia?" The necklace shined brightly for a moment. Yuri took a deep breath before releasing it. "Oh, what's the use? I'm not getting to sleep." Yuri got out of bed, he threw his legs over the bed and stood up and stretched his arms over his head. He looked over at his alarm clock. It was about four am. He yawned. He put on his house slippers and made his way to the door. He grabbed his blue bath robe and placed it around himself. He opened the door softly and walked out into the hallway.
He dared looked down the hall, but he couldn't help it, his head turned to the left. He couldn't help but wonder how Wolfram is doing on? Was he sleeping soundly in his room? Yuri did feel bad about kicking him out, he saw the pained look on his face, but he wanted space that was all.
So, why does he feel bad about sending him off?
Yuri thought about it for a moment before shrugging it off, he let another yawn escape his lips before he headed into the living room.
He looked around, pillows were thrown around, the dishes weren't washed, and Yuri shook his head. He forgot, he was supposed to clean up for mom before heading off to bed. He took a deep breath, walking around the room he began to collect all of the pillows off the ground and began to place them back onto the couches. After that, Yuri looked at the dishes in the sink before walking over to the couches and sitting down. He'll do them in a minute. He picked up one of the pillows and held it close to his chest. He felt his eyes begin to close. Sleep was finally consuming him. He wanted to fight it. He knew he had to do the dishes before his mom woke up. He didn't want her to have to do them. But, he was so tired, he couldn't fight it.
His head lay on the pillow; he got comfortable and fell asleep.
Morning came, the sun rose over the horizon letting its rays of sunshine into the house of the Shibuya residence. Yuri felt the rays hitting his eyes. He slowly opened his eyes, he groaned as he did. He was met with the sight of emerald green orbs. He blinked before letting a shriek; he sat back instantly and took a few deep breaths. Wolfram moved back a bit, a bit shocked by Yuri's outburst.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you do that?" Yuri shouted.
"Yuri calm down, everyone else is still asleep." Wolfram whispered.
Yuri put a hand over his heart and tried to calm his beating heart. "Wolfram, you didn't have to stare at me like that. You could have just woke me up with a shake of the shoulder like a normal person."
Wolfram smiled. "What's the fun in that? Besides, you look really cute when you sleep. Like an angel."
Yuri blushed and hid his cheeks behind the pillow. "Whatever, what do you want?"
Wolfram stood up and grabbed Miko's frilly apron and smiled. "I want to make mother breakfast. It is her birthday after all."
Yuri just looked over at Wolfram from the corner of his eye. He could still feel the blood rushing to his cheeks. Why was he wearing that thing? Did he expect himself to get messy? Wait. That was a bad way to put it? Damn it, brain cut it out.
Yuri got off of the coach before joining Wolfram in the kitchen. Wolfram was taking out the ingredients that he was going to use for breakfast. Yuri made sure that he watched Wolfram's every move. Yuri knew that Wolfram wasn't the best cook so he needed to make sure he didn't burn anything.
"Yuri, can you get the pans ready? I'm going to start making omelets." Wolfram asked.
"Do you know how to make an omelet?" Yuri replied.
Wolfram pouted. "I've seen the maids do it. It can't be that hard."
Yuri ran a hand through his hair. "Alright, just be careful. I'm going to watch you alright. I don't need you burning my house down."
Wolfram rolled his eyes. "I got this alright. I'm not that bad a cook."
"Keep telling yourself that Wolf."
"Yuri."
"My my Wolf-chan, this omelet you made me is absolutely delicious." Miko squealed with glee.
Wolfram blushed and scratched his head. "Actually, Yuri made it."
Miko blinked. "Really, but you looked really dirty in my apron when I saw you earlier? What happened?"
Yuri sighed. "He ended up overcooking the omelet he made for you and gave up."
Miko smiled. "That's alright Wolf-chan. At least you tried."
Wolfram stood up from the table and slammed his hands into the table. "No, it's not okay. I promised to make you breakfast and I failed. So, I'm going to make it up to you."
"Wolf-chan."
"I'm going to give you the best birthday ever. I will not be satisfied if left otherwise." Wolfram finished.
Miko smiled. "Thank you Wolf-chan. Yu-chan is lucky to have you."
"What is that supposed to mean? Are you still on that?" Yuri complained.
"Relax Shibuya, just let it go for one day. This is about Mama-san, not you." Murata said.
Yuri sighed. "Alright."
"What would you like to do today?" Wolfram asked.
Miko placed a finger on her lips and thought about it. "Well, I really want to go out and get my hair done. You know, like a relaxation day."
Wolfram nodded. "Very well, you and I will have a spa day."
Miko's eyes lit up. "Really? You'll go with me?"
"Yes."
Miko stood up and gave Wolfram a big hug. "Finally, someone to do girly things with me." Miko cried. She literally had tears rolling down her cheeks. Everyone else felt a sweat drop go down their head.
Wolfram looked over at his fiancée. He hoped the he did Yuri proud. He really wants to make a good impression on him. But, he seemed to be more confused than thrilled. Wolfram internally sighed.
He just can't win.
"Shibuya, are you sure that letting Wolfram go with your mother was a good idea?"
Yuri looked over at Murata as they were playing a video game. It was odd that he got to slack off here on Earth instead of study like he would be on Shin Makoku. But, he couldn't really complain.
"Yeah, I mean, what harm could she do?"
"Well-!"
Murata was interrupted when the door slammed open. The two teens jumped from their spots from the sound.
"We're home, don't we look gorgeous."
The two teens looked over as Miko walked inside. She definitely looked different. Her hair was freshly dyed and it flowed down her back with elegance. It practically shined. Her make up as well was well put. She looked like a movie star. Her skin shined and looked as soft as a baby.
Yuri took the time to ask, "Where is Wolfram?"
Miko blinked before looking back at the door. "Wolf-chan, don't be shy."
"I am not going in there. I look stupid."
"Wolf-chan."
Miko eagerly pulled Wolfram inside, he didn't fight her off. It was wrong. He couldn't hurt her feelings. But, when Yuri saw him, he immediately began to…laugh. He was laughing hysterically.
"Shut up you wimp before I cut you."
"I can't help it." Yuri gasped for air. "You just look so-!"
"I look like what?" Yuri looked at him again. He continued to laugh. Wolfram growled. He immediately wiped off the lips gloss and took out the fake eyelashes. "I can't believe you. I went out to give mother a good time and you laugh at me. How dare you?"
Yuri wiped his tears away. "I'm sorry Wolfram, I didn't mean to laugh. You just looked so much like a girl that it was laughable."
"What? Are you insulting me?"
Yuri shook his head. "No, it's just. It didn't suit you."
Wolfram growled. "Whatever. I'm going to change."
Wolfram quickly stalked off to the guest room. He needed to change. The dress he was wearing was irritating. Why was he always sucked into these damn things? He hated it.
Back in the living room, Yuri was talking with his mother who was admiring herself in the mirror.
"Hey mom, how did you get Wolfram to go through with all of that stuff?" Yuri asked.
Miko smiled. "I didn't do anything. He deliberately got his hair and make-up done. He told me that he wanted to look his best. He went on that he had to make sure he was always presentable around his fiancé."
Yuri rolled his eyes. "That figures."
"Yu-chan mommy loves you no matter what, but if you keep leading him on and not take him seriously with this engagement, I will get upset." Miko said.
"Where did that come from all of a sudden?" Yuri cried out.
Miko touched her hair and messed around with it a bit, bouncing it and looking at it. "Yu-chan, you've been engaged for as long as I can remember, maybe even longer. You need to marry him." She turned around to face him. "You need to marry him, before you lose him for good. Good people like him, don't wait around forever. Someone will sweep him off his feet and possibly fall for them if you take too long with these head games."
"You don't know what I'm going through mom. I mean, we're both guys. Why should I have to marry another guy just because it's normal there?"
"Yu-chan, I see how you look at him. I can see the love."
Yuri narrowed his eyes. "I don't know what you mean?"
"Just consider it. You won't regret."
Yuri looked over at the clock. "I have to go mom. I'll come and visit soon alright."
Miko gave Yuri a big hug and kissed his head. "Alright Yu-chan. Stay safe."
Yuri nodded. "Right mom." Yuri walked passed her. He stuck his head into the doorway. "Let's go Wolfram, we need to go back."
"Relax, I'm coming." Wolfram shouted back.
Yuri looked back at Murata who was turning off the video game. He put the controllers away and walked over towards Yuri. "She's right, you know."
"Not you too."
Murata just grinned. "Wolfram is good looking guy. Any man who is good enough for him could walk up to one day and make him fall hard. So, you better elope before it's too late."
Murata left it at that. He walked over to the bathroom and began to fill up the water.
"Alright, let's go. I promised Greta I would play with her in the gardens."
Yuri looked back at Wolfram, he did have something different about him. He seemed have this glow to him. His skin indeed looks flawless. He looked less stressed. He seemed happy to say the least.
Wolfram raised an eyebrow. "What are you looking at?"
Yuri blushed and quickly turned away. "Nothing, let's just go." Yuri quickly took off to the bathroom.
Wolfram blinked. "Just what is with him?" He shrugged. He looked back at Miko who was smiling at him. "Sayonara Miko."
"Bye Wolf-chan. Next time you come, you better have a ring on that finger and are married to my Yu-chan."
Wolfram blushed. "Married." He smiled. "Right. Don't you worry. I'll make sure of it."
Miko nodded. "Good."
Wolfram quickly headed over to the bathroom. Yuri and Murata were already standing inside, waiting for the blonde.
"Come on Wolfram." Yuri said.
Wolfram quickly got in beside Yuri. Yuri concentrated on his destination and before they knew it, they were being transported back to Shin Makoku.
Back in the human countries, one man in particular was patiently waiting for his perfect opportunity to strike. He looked out the window of his large estate. He sipped a glass of wine. Everything was in place.
He kept himself on low radar. He had to. This was the only way his plan would work. He growled as he saw his face flash through his mind.
"The Maou is going to pay for what he did to me. He'll pay."
All was to be set to be played into motion by the end of the month. The Maou was to receive an invitation from that Small Cimaron king, Saralegui. That when everything was going to start.
He cackled. His wine long forgotten as it now laid, on the floor, glass broken and wine making a large stain. He grinned.
"Soon I get my revenge on you. King Yuri, Maou of the demon tribe."
I hope you guys enjoyed that. See you next chapter. Review for me, Minna.
