Chapters 18 – Till the End of Time
The two princes, wizard Tohma, all the generals and all the soldiers are already standing in straight lines, waiting for the king to give them instruction.
Silence was among them. No one dared to talk. All of them just stare ahead. But they were all thinking about the same thing. What will happen at the end?
Suddenly, the king stepped out from his camp and all of them quickly moved a bit to the side so the king and passes through.
The king walked slowly down to the front of the crowd.
"Soldiers, generals, sons, wizard. We had gathered here today to determine the out come of the battle. We have to show the Brick Kingdom that they are not the only kingdom that has good armies. Ours does too. So that's why we have to win the battle and mostly importantly win them! If we have won the war today, we will be known us the strongest kingdom in the world and you all would be able to walk in pride." Said the king.
All the soldiers stare at the king in hatred. The king suddenly raised his hand up high.
"For our families! For our friends! For all the soldiers that had died earlier during the war! For our honor! And for our kingdom!" shouted the king.
"For our kingdom!" the soldiers yelled back in replied.
The king smirked. At least the soldiers still know how to respect their king.
"Good! Now let us start our journey to the battle field! No matter what happened on the battle field today, I just want all of you to remember that you are doing this for our honor and don't let the Brick Kingdom's soldiers steps all over you! Am I understood?" shouted the king.
All the soldiers stood straight and gave a salute to the king.
The king holds up his hand and gave a wave and all the soldiers started marching forward in line.
The king turned to look at his sons, wizard, and generals.
"Look after them and I want them to fight, don't mess this war up or else all of your heads are going down. Am I understood?" said the king.
They quickly gave a nod. "Yes your highness."
"Good. Now get going. Yuki and Tatusha look after the front group and the rest of you will look after the back group."
With that, the princes, the wizard, and the generals quickly move to their position.
&&&
Yuki was riding his horse beside Shuichi, who was talking to some of the male servants that he had known back at the castle.
Yuki would look at Shuichi every now and then and Shuichi know it too… but he just ignored Yuki and kept talking and walking.
Yuki was really hurt by this. But he knows he deserves it anyways.
&&&
The soldiers had eventually arrived to the battle field, where the Brick Kingdom soldiers were already waiting for them.
Soldiers from both sides stare at each other with lifeless eyes. Even the generals were looking at each other. They can't believe it is all down to this and both kings doesn't even know when to stop. But who can do anything? They are the highest of all. No one dared to go against the kings.
The two kings stared at each other with hatred.
"CHARGE!" the two kings yelled.
With that, every soldier charged at each other. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
&&&
Yuki, Tatusha and Tohma were fighting on their horses. Now it was one of the times that they were glad that they had been trained to fight on horses since they were young.
It was a mess out there. They can't even tell which soldiers were on which sides so everyone was just fighting blindly.
Shuichi didn't care who was he killing, he would attack whoever is in his way. He wouldn't let other people take advantage on him anymore. He had too kill as much soldiers on the Brick Kingdom's side as possible, hopefully one of them is the same guy who killed his good friend Ryuichi.
Shuichi couldn't think straight right now; he was lost in anger and hatred that he didn't realized there was a arrow coming his way from the back.
By the time he realized what was happening, he was on the floor with Yuki on top of him.
"What the…?" said Shuichi, trying to figure what was happening.
Yuki was staring down at him, panting. "I… I am glad that you are ok Shuichi." Yuki smile.
Shuichi's eyes were wide. "You… you saved me?... But why?" asked Shuichi. He still can't believe Yuki would save him since after all the things he had done to the prince.
Shuichi groaned in anger and pushes Yuki away with full force. "Get off me!" yelled Shuichi.
Yuki grabbed Shuichi's face and kissed him. Shuichi was taken by surprise.
"Shuichi, I just want you to know that you mean the world to me." With that, Yuki quickly stood up and starts fighting again, leaving a very confused Shuichi on the ground.
Shuichi seriously never expected that. Shuichi look over to Yuki, Yuki was fighting off ten soldiers that surrounded him. 'Yuki…' thought Shuichi.
A guy charged at Shuichi and Shuichi quickly got up and fight him off. He has no time to think about this right now.
&&&
Tohma and Tatusha weren't haven't a easy time either, they got knocked out of their horses because of the arrows that came flying their way.
"Oh just great… I am still young. I don't want to die here right now." Said Tatusha.
"Your highness, you won't. You are a great fighter." Encouraged Tohma.
Tatusha smile. "Thank you."
&&&
Things were getting messier and messier and more and more soldiers were getting killed and wounded.
'This has to stop!' thought the king from the Brick Kingdom.
"Slaves! Throw a bomb at the battle field." Yelled the king.
The generals that are still beside the king were really surprise. "Now your highness? But a lot of our soldiers are still there! We will kill them also!"
"I don't give a damn of who dies out there! The king is alone and everyone on their side is already fighting so if I killed everyone on the field, it would means that he will have no one left to fight for him which means that the Brick Kingdom would win!" The king laughed evilly.
"Your highness!" the generals tried to convince the king.
The king shook his head. "Do it now or else you will all be dead." The king warned.
The generals bowed down and hurried to their position.
"On my mark and throw the bombs! 3…" said the king.
'Please forgive us.' Thought the generals
"2… 1… FIRE!" yelled the king.
The generals released the bombs into the air.
&&&
Soldiers and generals were still fighting on the field until suddenly, things began to hit the ground and explode.
Soldiers all tried to escape but most of the explosion of too huge.
"Oh great! Oh great great great!" said Shuichi, who was running away like a mad man. "There is no save place on the field! The bombs can hit anywhere!"
&&&
"Holy shit… they are releasing bombs? Have they no shame? Their own men are still on the field!" yelled Tohma.
"Come on, we better go the other way or else we are next!" shouted Tatusha.
&&&
Yuki was still busy fighting the soldiers that were coming his way that he couldn't run.
Suddenly, bombs began landing near the area that Yuki was in.
Shuichi was running away when he saw Yuki, cover in dust.
'How come he is not running away? The bombs can hit him anytime!' thought Shuichi.
Shuichi quickly ran over to Yuki to help him out.
Yuki was surprise when someone appeared to help me and he was even more surprise when he realized that it was Shuichi. Yuki smile.
Bombs continue to explode near them.
"Let's just run Yuki! We will die if we stay here any longer. Sooner or later, the bombs will hit us!" yelled Shuichi.
Yuki nodded. "I am just right behind you!"
So they began running away, trying to get back to their side.
'Holy God.' Thought Yuki, when a bomb landed near him and created a big explosion. Things threw everywhere. Before Yuki could see where he was going, an arrow flew right towards his way.
Shuichi turned to around to see what was keeping Yuki when he saw the arrow. He didn't even think before running back toward Yuki and stood in front him… so he was the one who was stabbed with the arrow. Shuichi slowly fall to the ground.
The dust storm slowly cleared out and Yuki finally could see again but he was shock. His little Shuichi was on the floor, covered with blood.
"SHUICHI!" Yuki quickly went to Shuichi's side. "SHUICHI?" Yuki yelled.
Yuki lifted Shuichi up by his shoulders and let him rest his head on Yuki's chest.
"Yu… Yuki?" Shuichi said weakly.
"Shuichi! Please… please… stay awake! I am going to bring you back to find the doctor. Ok? Just please, don't sleep." Yuki's voice began to crack.
"Yuki… you know… I had been really cold to you lately haven't I?" asked Shuichi.
Yuki shook his head. "It was my entire fault, I should have never allowed you to go fighting, and then you would have never turned this way. I am sorry. I really am." Said Yuki.
Shuichi shook his head weakly. "Yuki…"
"Shuichi… Shuichi… oh Shuichi… you never should have done that." Yuki cried.
Shuichi smile. "Just think of this as a sorry for being distance to you lately."
"Shuichi… please… you have to stay alive. Remember? We promised each other that we will stay alive right? And then when the war ends, I have something to tell you in front of your face right? You have to stay alive to hear it! You promised you will listen! And you have to keep your promise!" cried Yuki.
"I know Yuki… but I don't think I can hold my end of the promise anymore." Shuichi said weakly, while lifting a hand to touch Yuki's cheek.
"Shuichi…" Yuki pulled Shuichi into a hug.
"Shuichi… I… I…" Yuki whispered.
Shuichi smile one last time before closing his eyes, his hand dropping to his side.
"I LOVE YOU SHUICHI!" Yuki yelled. But Shuichi wasn't able to hear it.
"Shuichi…" Yuki cried.
"Aniki!" Yuki heard someone yelled. He slowly looks up to see Tatusha and Tohma running towards him.
When Tatusha and Tohma came close enough, they realized that the person that Yuki was holding was Shuichi's body.
"No… this can't be… Shuichi? What happened?" asked Tatusha.
"It was all my fault… he died because I was too stupid to protect myself." Whispered Yuki, who started to cry again.
Tatusha fall to his knee beside his Aniki and put a hand around his shoulder.
Tohma was stunned. Another friend of his had been taken away from the war and Shuichi was really important to Yuki. No… it must be a joke…
"Yuki-sama…" said Tohma.
Yuki didn't answer. Tohma expected that. Tohma could only stare at the couple.
&&&
Five years had passed since Shuichi died. Yuki had never healed from his wound. Not a day has gone by that Yuki had never thought about Shuichi.
Apparently, the war ended with his kingdom being the victor. But none of it is mattered to Yuki. He had lost the one thing he had been fighting for.
Tatusha was still sad that Ryuichi, his loyal servant, was gone also but he moved on and he had turned 18 just this year. He occasionally helps his brother out with the kingdom but he still spent most of his time outside playing.
Tohma is still the wizard of the kingdom. He is 26 yrs old but he still looks as young as ever. He is currently a father of 2 twins. Both boys. They are going to turn 4 yrs old this year and Tohma was determined to teach them Magic but Mika always object since she doesn't want his sons to follow his father's foot steps and go to wars.
The king died just a while ago due to illness. He had fallen ill ever since after the war cause he used too much energy and he was already very old. He had never gotten well ever since. The king died at the age of 56.
And finally Yuki, of course, had been assigned to take over the throne for his father. Yuki is 23 years and he had really changed over the years. He was so cold to everyone. Sometimes, he would not eat and just kept on drinking wine. He even brought girls to his room and has one night stands. But today was different… he is getting married from his father's last will. Yuki didn't object anything since his heart was already broken so he would take in any girl that can pleasure him so he can forget the pain for a moment, even though it was impossible.
Yuki had asked his servants to keep Shuichi's room just the way it was and told maids to come in and clean it once in a while. He wants to have something to remember Shuichi by. It was still painful for him and memories of the last moment between him and Shuichi still hunt his dreams.
Yuki stood in the middle of the room that once belongs to his cheerful little pink hair lover. Yuki walk over to the bed and sat down, staring into nothing and memories began to floating back to him.
-Flashback-
"Greetings my Queen. Greetings prince Yuki." said the black hair woman, who quickly pulled her pink hair son in the same position as soon as she spotted him started to doze of again.
The blonde, who was known as Prince Yuki (8 yrs old), stared in shock.
'How can someone be as stupid as this? Falling asleep while standing there' thought Yuki
"Please raise Shindou-san." Said the Queen, then she smiled when she spotted the pink hair boy. "And this must be Shuichi, right?"
"Yes your highness" replied Sholan (We will just call Shuichi's mom with that name right now).
The pink hair boy, who was known as Shuichi (5 yrs old), looked up nervously. The Queen chuckled a bit.
"Do not be scared my little Shuichi. From now on, you and your mother will be living in the castle with us." The queen smile. "And you will be helping my older son out from now on."
Cute little Shuichi can old nod.
'Stupid and pathetic' thought Yuki
-End of Flashback-
-Flashback-
"YUKI! YOU ARE FINALLY BACK! I SAW YOU OUTSIDE!" shouted a hyper yet cute Shuichi.
Yuki couldn't help but smile when Shuichi gave him a hug. How he missed the pink hair idiot.
"So… what have you been doing while I was away for these few days?" asked Yuki
"Well… mostly thinking about you and there is nothing else to do since I only serve you and you are not here so I had a lot of free time." Said Shuichi
Yuki nod. Yuki pushes Shuichi a ways.
"I heard from the soldier that was out there that the great Prince Yuki had once again given the King a great strategy to use during war! You are sooo smart Yuki-sama!" Said Shuichi.
Yuki smile a bit. "Well… it wasn't really a big battle."
"NO WAY! ALL THE BATTLES THAT YUKI GOES TO ARE ALL VERY IMPORTANT!" pouted Shuichi.
-End of Flashback-
-Flashback-
Yuki was about to leave Shuichi behind and walk out the room when he saw Shuichi started shivering again and talk in his sleep.
"Mo…mother… don't, don't leave me please! PLEASE!" say a very sick Shuichi.
'The brat is thinking about his mother…' Yuki then walk over to the bed and took a seat beside it.
"Yu… Yuki… prince… no… master…" A tear slide down Shuichi's face.
'Baka… I am not only your master… I am your… your… friend…' thought Yuki sadly.
Yuki felt Shuichi's forehead again and was still burning hot. 'If your fever doesn't lower soon… I don't know what I should do with you then…'
One hour had passed by and Yuki had never left Shuichi's side. Yuki felt Shuichi's forehead again and nothing changed about his temperature.
"OK… this is just getting too much! Baka! I am taking matters in my own hand… I am using the traditional way! I don't care about what he thinks! Is not like I am going to do something to him…" said Yuki, while taking off his own clothing.
After taking off all his cloths, he made sure he locked the door so no one will 'accidentally' come in without him knowing. Then he slowly walks up to his bed. His heart began to pump hard… he slowly undo all of Shuichi's clothing and put them randomly onto the floor. Yuki was surprised at he sight, this pink hair baka was beautiful looking like that!
'I wish I can always have you like that.' Thought Yuki, before getting on top of Shuichi and pulled the cover over them two.
-End of Flashback-
-Flashback-
"Your highness… I have heard something from Wizard Tohma that I think you should consider. But I dare not say it until I get your approval." Said Shuichi quickly.
"You have my permission." Said Yuki, suddenly very amused in what Tohma will say about him.
"Yes master, Wizard Tohma said that it had come to your age and the King is thinking about getting you a wife, or at least a pleasure slave so you can truly become a man and it will help you release your anger or stress." Said Shuichi.
Yuki was stunned. His father thinks that he needs a woman? No way in hell is he going to get one anytime soon. All the women in the villages are all slut, they only want to become his wife because they want his family fortune.
"Don't mind it, is not going to happen." Said Yuki. "Beside," Yuki continued while looking at Shuichi straight in the eye, "I already have someone else I like."
Shuichi's heart skipped a beat. "Yuki-sama already has a lover?"
"No… is just that the person I love is… let just say impossible?" sigh Yuki
"Impossible? But why? She is not able to have babies?" asked Shuichi
"If it was only that…" mumbled Yuki
"Huh?" asked Shuichi innocently.
"Never mind brat." Yuki smiled a small smile at Shuichi.
Shuichi can't help to blush and smile back.
-End of Flashback-
-Flashback-
"What is it?" asked Ryuichi.
"It's a riddle game! There are going to be riddles there on the table and we can pick one to guess. If you get the answer, then you will get a prize." Tatusha explained.
Shuichi and Ryuichi cheer excitedly. "Yes! We are so going to that one!" and they ran to the table.
"One sliver coin for one guess. Prizes are a new pipe that just arrived this morning or some new tobacco." Shouted the manager of the booth.
"Hey hey! I want to win a new pipe and maybe some of the new tobacco!" said Shuichi.
"I never knew you smoke those things Shuichi, you know, they are really unhealthy for you." Said Ryuichi.
"Oh Oh, they are not for me Ryuichi. If I can win the prizes, I am going to give them to a special someone of mine." Shuichi blushes.
Yuki smirk.
-End of Flashback-
-Flashback-
After who knows how long later, Shuichi finally woke up. At first he doesn't recognize where he was but soon, he saw three pairs of concern eyes staring at him.
"Yuki…" Shuichi cried. "What happened?"
Yuki keep silence.
"Tohma? Tatusha?" Shuichi tried again.
Tatusha and Tohma just stare at Shuichi.
"Please, please tell me what happened to Ryuichi and Hiro? How come I am here right now? Where are the others?" asked Shuichi.
Yuki look at Tatusha and Tohma for help.
"Tell him Aniki, he will have to know soon." Said Tatusha.
Shuichi's heart skipped a beat. What happened…?
Yuki sighed. "Shuichi… please stay calm… there was an explosion and we went to check it out. When we got there… dead bodies were everywhere… everyone were either half dead of dead. And Hiro… and Ryuichi… didn't seem… seem to have survived…"
Shuichi's eyes widen in shock. No… not Hiro too…
Shuichi couldn't take it anymore and lets out a scream.
-End of Flashback-
-Flashback-
Shuichi shook his head weakly. "Yuki…"
"Shuichi… Shuichi… oh Shuichi… you never should have done that." Yuki cried.
Shuichi smile. "Just think of this as a sorry for being distance to you lately."
"Shuichi… please… you have to stay alive. Remember? We promised each other that we will stay alive right? And then when the war ends, I have something to tell you in front of your face right? You have to stay alive to hear it! You promised you will listen! And you have to keep your promise!" cried Yuki.
"I know Yuki… but I don't think I can hold my end to the promise anymore." Shuichi said weakly, while lifting a hand to touch Yuki's cheek.
"Shuichi…" Yuki pulled Shuichi into a hug.
"Shuichi… I… I…" Yuki whispered.
Shuichi smile one last time before closing his eyes, his hand dropping to his side.
"I LOVE YOU SHUICHI!" Yuki yelled. But Shuichi wasn't able to hear it.
"Shuichi…" Yuki cried.
-End of Flashback-
Yuki smile at all the memories he had with Shuichi.
'Shuichi…' thought Yuki 'I am getting married today… but I just want you to know that no one can replace you in my heart. I will never say 'I love you' to anyone else unless is you. No matter who I am in my next life, I will find you again.' Yuki sighed.
Yuki look up at the ceiling. "May be Tatusha was right, I should just shut my self up and close anyone that wants to come near me. I don't want to be hurt ever again. Never… again…"
"I hope we can meet again Shuichi…" Yuki said, before getting up and leave the room.
(Author's Note: I know you guys are gonna ask me if Yuki love Shuichi that much, why he would still marry some other woman. The answer is that if THIS Yuki doesn't have babies, he wouldn't have descendants, so than the Author Yuki would not exist. If you get what I mean that is…)
&&&
(And then the story moves to the anime Gravitation.)
Five centuries had passed…
Yuki was just walking home through the park after meeting is editor. "Seriously, why the hell do I put up with her?" Yuki whispered angrily to the nigh sky.
&&&
Shuichi on the other hand was just standing there, looking at his lyrics.
'Is it really that bad?' thought Shuichi. 'Maybe Hiro is right, I should find a girlfriend, I am getting too stressed out.'
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past Shuichi and Shuichi sneezed, causing his paper to fly out of his hand.
&&&
Yuki was just minding his own business, while smoking and walking. When suddenly a piece of paper slaps right into his face. 'What the hell?' he thought
Yuki grabbed hold of the paper and begin to read it. The lyric was a love song about two lovers that was being separated (Author's Note: Sorry… kind of made up that part). Yuki's heart suddenly ached. Yuki looks up when he hear footsteps near him and he was surprised by the sight. It was a pink hair boy, who looks barely 16. Yuki doesn't know why but the pain in his heart began to increase. It must be the bad lyric's fault! So Yuki can only think of one thing to do… insult it.
"Is this your writing?" asked Yuki
"Eh… yes…" said Shuichi uneasily.
"Well… it is at the level of a grade school student. You should really give up. No talent." Said Yuki, before walking right passed the pink hair boy and tossed the piece of paper over his shoulder.
(And you all know the story…)
