Chapter 1: Minuet of Love

Yumoto sighed as he sat in his throne as Io read out of his book to him, "As the God of Love, you must know that you cannot-"

"No! I told you…" Yumoto interrupted, "I'm tired, Io-senpai!"
Io looked at him and sighed, "Yumoto-kun, you need to know this!"

Yumoto pouted as he crossed his arms. "Hmph. I don't see why I should."

"Because." Io replied, "One day, you will have a suitor and then you will rule as the God of Love."

Yumoto puffed out his cheeks, "I don't care…it's too much thinking!"

"Yumoto-kun…" Io frowned, "I know it's hard for you to talk about things like this."
"Well An-chan will be the God of Love for a long time since no one is after me now!" Yumoto replied and he looked up as he heard footsteps and the door opening.

A young man with silver hair and purple eyes with a purple cat on his shoulder walked in and looked at Io. "Battle Lover Sulfur." He spoke and Io bowed slightly, "Lord Tungsten." He replied and the man called Tungsten looked at Yumoto, "Is this the current God of Love…?"

"N-no…I'm…his brother." Yumoto replied and the man blushed. "O-Oh! I'm terribly sorry…!"

"Don't be…what's your name?" Yumoto asked and he replied, "Many people call me Lord Tungsten, but my name I go by with my friends is Keishi Araki…"

"Lord Tungsten~! Don't forget me!" the cat smiled and Araki smiled softly at him, "This is my guardian, Hiroyuki."

Yumoto smiled and Araki looked at him, "May I speak with your brother?"

Yumoto nodded, "Yes…I'll take you to him!" he giggled as he stood up and grabbed Araki's arm.

"Where do you come from?" Yumoto asked and Araki blushed, "I-I reside in the mortal world, but I am from another court in your world."

"Cool! So Lord Tungsten…?"
"Yes…umm, what do I call you?"
Yumoto blushed, "Oh! Forgive me…I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hakone Yumoto, the next God of Love, or Prince Scarlet, the heir of the throne of love." He bowed and Araki nodded.

"So, what is it, Prince Scarlet?"

"Why do you want to speak with my brother, Lord Tungsten?"

"Well I have news from the mortal world…ab-about you."
"About me?"
"Yes…but it's nothing you should worry about Prince Scarlet."

Yumoto pouted at this and Araki smiled, "I take it, this is your brother's room?"
"Yes…it is." Yumoto replied as they stopped.

Araki smiled as he grabbed Yumoto's hand, "Thank you Prince Scarlet…I hope to see you again soon."

Yumoto blushed at this and smiled back, "You're welcome, Lord Tungsten…I insist you come over again…I have things to talk about with you! I want to tell you all about what I went through in the past few weeks."

Araki chuckled at that, "Alright…I'll take you up on that offer."
Yumoto grinned and began to walk away. "Bye-bye!" He giggled and ran off to Ibushi.

"Why Little One, you seem happy." Ibushi smiled, "What happened?"

Yumoto giggled as he looked at him, "I met someone…he was so cool…!"
"Oh really? What's his name?" Ibushi asked and Yumoto smiled, "He's apparently a lord, his name is Lord Tungsten, but he goes by Araki-kun…!"

Ibushi smiled at him, "I know of him. He is very well known in the mortal world, even if he is like us."

Yumoto blushed, "I asked him to visit me…I want to tell him things, about my crazy adventure I had last week."

"Do you now?"
"Uh-huh!"

"Are you going to tell him everything Fluffhead?" Akoya asked and Yumoto frowned at him, "Hey! Yes, I am…so then while he's in the mortal world, he can watch out for those two who resurrected that demon!"

Akoya smiled, "Do you like him?"
"What?" Yumoto asked and Akoya repeated, "I said, do you like him?"
"I-I don't know…he's a nice guy."

Araki looked up as he saw Gora, "Maximum Gorar…" He bowed, "It's me Lord Tungsten."

Gora turned to him, "Tungsten, what is it?"

Araki sighed, "There…there are two men in the mortal world…who want your brother."
"Lord Tungsten…they already attacked Scarlet a few weeks ago…"

"W-what…?"
"Yes, they almost killed him too…"

"D-did Lord Hireashi reign?"
"Almost…Luckily Scarlet didn't die."

Araki looked down. "I-I would like to become Scarlet's bodyguard."

"What…? Scarlet has seven guardians…"
"I know, but I would like to be his personal bodyguard so I can protect him while his guardians are busy. So may I?" He asked and Gora looked at him, "Lord Tungsten, you may become his bodyguard, only if Scarlet wants you too."

"Yes sir…thank you." Araki smiled and bowed down at him.

Yumoto yawned as Atsushi began to talk to him, "Atsushi-senpai, did you hear about Lord Tungsten?"
"Lord Tungsten?"
"Yeah! Lord Tungsten is going to be my bodyguard…an-chan told me, and said it was my choice if I wanted him. I said yes, because I want to talk with him."

Atsushi smiled, "Well I'm glad."

"Lord Tungsten…made me blush…and my heart began to beat really, really fast!"

"Really? Do you have a crush on him?" Atsushi asked and Yumoto looked at him, "I-I don't know!"

Atsushi smiled, "Yumoto, you might."
"I-I don't know…he was just really kind to me."

"Well he is a very kind person. Lord Tungsten is well known to being very kind to the mortals." Atsushi replied and Yumoto looked at him, "Oh?"

Atsushi nodded, "He would be a good partner to be with."

"Atsushi-senpai…he's not going to be my suitor. I don't want one. An-chan doesn't have one, so why do I need one?"

"Well, if you have a suitor, they can do all the work you hate."
"Really?" Yumoto asked and Atsushi nodded, "Yes."

Wombat sighed, "Leave it to you to not wanting to do things."

Yumoto giggled and Wombat shook his head, "Yumoto-san, you'll have to do work still."

"Oh…darn…"

"But if Lord Tungsten became your suitor, you could have more control over the mortal world!" Wombat added and Yumoto shook his head, "I don't want that…"

"When you were a child I remember feeling love coming from you that made me believe…no made me realize that when you would ascend to the throne, you would be the most loving God of Love, we've ever seen."

Yumoto sighed, "Well I don't want to be a god…" He pouted and Wombat rolled his eyes, "Back to this again?"

"Yes…An-chan said I won't get the throne until I'm ready!" Yumoto replied and Atsushi nodded, "Of course."
