A New World, Two Loves
Summary: Yuri lands in a new world, stuff happens. SLASH. Mpreg?
Pairs: Yozak/Yuri.
Chapter 1: Capture The KingHis first thought when he woke was that he'd never seen a sky such a clear blue. A fresh scented breeze flickered across his damp cheeks. Every part of him ached, throbbing mind-numbingly at the force of the impact between him and the ground. Blinking slowly, he let out a slow even breath. This was what he had expected wasn't it? Well, not the pain part. But the rest Bob had explained to him. The mode of transportation left much to be desired though.
Slowly beginning to get himself up off the ground, his fingers brushed back through his hair and pushed the dripping strands out of his eyes. Sharp eyes sweeping over his surroundings, his jaw clenched together slightly thoughtful as he took in the farmlands and the village just down the hill. Gaining his feet, he paused for a moment, allowing himself to catch his balance before moving on to the edge of the road before heading in the opposite direction to the village. Despite knowing the language he had no desire to try his luck with the local people before he knew more about where he'd landed.
He hadn't been walking long when a dark shadow swept over him as a horse settled beside him, the lone blonde rider staring down at him with sharp blue eyes. He started shouting words at Yuri, his harsh sun-tanned face showing his displeasure when it became clear to him Yuri had no idea what he said; even though he had understood every work of it. Yuri knew he'd need to act his age as best he could around these new demons.
What he guessed was a knight dismounted, stepping towards Yuri who had enough sense to back up a step, wary about this stranger, knowing he was a threat. Before he could take another step backwards, massive hands closed around his head, clamping tightly on his skull. Struggling hard against the grip, his hands against the massive wrists, fingers dug hard into his scalp and pain flared within him.
A raucous cry escaped Yuri's throat, while it felt like something was tearing his mind apart from inside out, a crude blade slashing through his thoughts and digging up something. His fingernails bit into the man's skin, drawing blood as he fought the man's hold before managing to wrench himself free and sprawled down onto the earth with a heavy thud. Everything inside his head was screaming as his body now ached with a new fierceness. Phantom touches appearing all over his body while odd sounds made themselves known.
He didn't know how long it lasted, but the world did slowly come back into focus. Yuri vowed to himself he wasn't going to let the bastard get away with it!
"That should have done it." The blonde behemoth actually looked amused by the fact he was actually bleeding from Yuri's struggling "You should be able to understand me now."
Yuri gained his feet in an instant, jaw clenched and obsidian eyes burning with fire as he stared at the idiot before him, showing that he was not one to take such abuse from anyone. He wanted nothing more than to slug the man just once in that rather arrogant face, so he did.
Kicking the ass in the shins first, the giant leaned down enough that he was just able to get a good hit in. but he bustard looked even more pleased!
"Well now, it looks like the new Demon King actually has some fight in him!"
"YURI!"
Turning at the sound of his name, Yuri saw a pack of men on horses charging at him and Giant Man. Dust being flung up from under the hooves of the riders mounts. Obsidian eyes locked with Cinnamon and he had a sense of Daija view at the sight of them. Yuri had to admit as his eyes had met cinnamon, his day had just gone from weird to absolutely down right insane.
"YURI!"
"Here comes trouble." The blonde growled out before mounting his horse quickly, though regarding Yuri with dry amusement; It was not everyone that could actually get a good punch in.
"Get away from Yuri Adelbert! And I mean now!"
Urging his horse forwards, Adelbert drew his sword from its sheath before speeding into a charge directly towards the Conrart.
Now Yuri didn't stand still while this was going on. While the two knights were charging one another, Yuri decided to use their distraction to make a brake for it. Dashing into the undergrowth of the native wheat? Field.
Yuri ran as fast as he could without drawing suspicion by pumping magic into his limbs. He'd always been a fast runner naturally due to his blood, but trying to out run four horses was really starting to take its toll on him. If he didn't find some way to out maneuver them soon he was a goner!
Weaving through the farmer's field Yuri pushed himself harder; just up ahead at the end of the field he could see cover... Well a forest to be more precise, it would have to do. Plus with the shrubs underneath being so thick it would hopefully slow the horses down enough for him to gain a better lead. So Yuri pulled a sharp left turn and ran for cover.
"Yuri! We're not going to hurt you! Please stop sire!" the strange man in the lead yelled. I believe that guy... Adelbert... called him Weller, Lord Conrart Weller. I doubt I'd be able to pronounce that easily. Such an odd feeling name. Dashing into the cover of the trees Yuri searched ahead to see if he could see somewhere to hide in like a swamp or blackberry bushes before they broke through themselves.
..Click, click. Click...looking up at the rattling sounds above him as he ran, Yuri spotted the flying skeletons the others had with them earlier whe-
"WHOA!" Stumbling, Yuri looked down to see what he'd tripped over "shit!" 'my own bloody feet, great. Of all the things to trip over, it had to be my own feet'. Yuri mentally cursed as he righted himself. Mentally berating himself for looking somewhere other than where he was heading. It was a Rookie Mistake!
-0-
How can he move so fast? Conrartwondered idly as Yuri suddenly did a sharp left turn. Looking ahead of Yuri Conrartspotted the lining of trees that marked the end of the wheat field that Yuri seemed to be heading for...
Conrart cursed.
Yozak had had the same idea as Conrart, and knew firsthand how easy it was losing someone in a forest that thick, but for the kid to know that even...it was if he'd been trained. Instinctually most people run into open areas rather for area's that could easily turn against them. Yozak was suddenly snapped out of his thoughts by his commander, "If we lose him in the forest up ahead we may have to track him." ordered Conrart.The men riding beside him nodded their understanding. Each determined to bring their King home safely. But Yozak just had to voice his assumption; the boys behavior was too far off what was expected to be normal, "Sir, has the kiddo been trained. You know...as a soldier or spy?"
"..."
When no response came, Yozak decided to push a little, the kid was too close to the forest for his comfort, and he needed to know what he was dealing with if he was going to track the brat. "Captain?"
"I don't know..." replied Conrart after a moment's thought. Earth was supposed to be a safe place, where there was no need to train for things like combat and war on an everyday basis...something was off. Maybe a war had broken out when he had left? But the priestesses hadn't mentioned it when he had been informed of Yuri's arrival. "Proceed carefully. We don't want to scare him off" Conrart finally decided, even while knowing the warning was redundant at this point.
Chuckling, Yozak just couldn't help it "Captain, l hate to inform you of this...but we kind of already scared the kid off!" Yozak finally bursting into laughter towards the end. A feat considering they were still riding.
"Why thank you Yozak. I did not know that. How very nice of you to point it out." murmured Conrart sarcastically, Urging his horse onward. Conrart effectively pulled ahead, ending the conversation and Yozak behind. He looked up in time to see Yuri stumble forwards. Seeing that Yuri was distracted, Conrard urged his men and their horses onto greater speeds headless of the danger. While Yuri was distracted, Conrart, Yozak and the other soldiers started to gain on the young youth.
Closing the gap between them quickly.
And by the time Yuri realized it, it was too late. He was surrounded.
Staring at his would-be kidnappers calmly. All Conrart got in was "Hello-" before Yuri decided to dive between two horses and make a mad sprint for it. The others tried to catch him on horseback again, but gave up and decided to go by foot when the undergrowth became too thick.
Escalating to a merry dash and chase through the undergrowth, which eventually ended with Yuri being tackled and hogtied for his efforts by Yozak.

Pacing back and forth in front of the inn's large fireplace, Gunter was worried. Conrart was late; they should have arrived with their new king three hours ago and yet they had not arrived. Had there been complications? Was His Highness alright?
Still wearing an impressive track into the rug, Gunter continued his rant in much the same fashion he had done for the past few hours. This had been going on since Conrart and Yozak had left six hours ago and driven a good number of the soldiers from the room, only two guards remained and that was only because they were honour bound to do so. "They're late. Something must have happened.-" Gunter had been repeating the same thing every hour already to the point all the guards practically had the whole rant memorised. Turning to the guards at the door Gunter immediately asked "What happened?" as if he fully expected for them to know the answer. But as had happened at least once every hour since the captain's departure, Gunter revived no reply from the guards; only blank, startled, or exasperated stares; depending on the hour and the guard.
Glaring daggers at them, he returned to his apprehensive pacing. Where things like; is he cute? What will he be like? I wonder what he looks like, what type of King will he be? Will he be cute or gruff like Gwen? Is he kind or cruel? were going through his mind like a swarm of busy bees. This continued for about 3 hours straight, while the guards on the door were changed twice; not many were able to endure a worrying Gunter for long and never alone.
"Your Excellency?" one of the guards that had been stationed outside the door asked questionably, snapping Gunter out of his thought/rant/torture technique effectively.
"What is it? Any news?" demanded Gunter, had Conrart returned?
"In a way yes Your Excellency. The King is here-" bracing himself, he waited. When no screeching scream or swooning came, the guard then became worried; His Grace was after all the loudest man he had ever met and could even out scream a number of females he knew as well. The maids he'd met while training at the castle had said he was rumoured to be mad under his feather brained, charming mask as well.
"The King is here?" the guard repeated nervously; He didn't want to say this as the person he had just glimpsed before the Captain was just a child. It made him worried about the future; for both their country and his boys.
"What!" Gunter screeched, barging past the guard and out the door -knocking the guard over in the process- only to stop just a few feet outside; stunned. He was shocked to see the boy who was to be their King, hands tied to the saddle pommel, sitting up in front of Conrart, coming through the gate towards them in the glorious evening light. Finally regaining enough control to try to speak -but yet he still stuttered- he asked his former student the first question that was able to make its way past his tongue.
"Conrart, why is he -the King- tied up?"
To which Yozak answered instead, unable to resist the temptation after seeing Gunter's face so white. Taking perverse pleasure in it even! "Because he can outrun us!" he said so matter-of-factly and with a false deadpanned voice, it was so funny; Like when you mother would sniff at you and say 'because l said so' when you'd ask an irritating why question. Wolfram was prone to this predictably.
Gunter frowned now, confused. "He outran you?" now Conrart smirked, proud of his little Yuri's achievement now that the he wasn't the one chasing him "...on foot or on horseback?"
"On foot" Conrart replied, still with his smirk in place, only now a little wider than before. Gunter, -deciding to give up on trying to understand these two idiots when they were in a mood- turned to his future master. The young man in front of Conrart, Gunter noticed, was studying the conversation and those around him curiously. How are we going to convince him we're not enemies when these two idiots tied him up? Well he doesn't look scared...wonder why? While momentarily distracted by the one question, he had forgotten his first. Which he now remembered, "Conrart, why are you late, what happened?" I'd better get to the bottom of this. Conrart, opening his mouth to answer, was stopped momentarily by Gunter's warningly muttered 'from the beginning' before Conrart could give him a non-answer.
Taking a deep breath, Conrart did as ordered and started from the beginning "Adelbert got to him first and told him something, don't know what so don't ask me" he replied to the question he knew Gunter was just about to ask "then when we arrived, I confronted Adelbert while the townspeople that had started to gather were chased away by our men. Meanwhile Yuri had already made a run for it into a farmer's field, and later a dense forest." Turning to the boy seated in front of Conrart, who met his eyes, innocently unwavering, Gunter asked the question everyone in the retrieval party wanted to know. "Your Majesty, why did you run?" curiosity written all over his face and the faces of the men behind him after Conrart's tale.
Frowning, as if he had to think hard on the matter –or that he thought the answer was obvious and he just thought they were stupid- Yuri replied. A small pout gracing his pretty lips "You guys started chasing me, of course I'd run."
"hmm" looking as if considering the statement seriously, Yozak stated "the kids got a point there Captain. Anyone would have run...plus we did come charging down the hill on four big WAR HORSES" Yozak finished, suppressing a fit of very girly giggles and not really managing the self-appointed task.
Looking very annoyed at Yozak, Conrart conceded "I'll give you that...any way what did Adelbert say?" Conrart now asked Yuri, trying to change the subject and to ignore Yozak as he broke down into a loud, gulfing laughter.
Smiling a bright, mischievous smile, Yuri stated that "he didn't say much. Just said that you guys were basically evil incarnate and that you'd eat my brains out...like a zombie. Stuff like that" he finally finished calmly; waiting for the others to respond. It didn't take long.
While Gunter fainted, Conrart's look was both amused and horrified. Seeing this, Yozak laughed so hard that he cried. He was starting too really like this kid.
Yuri smirked before he dismounted with Conrart's aid, shifting his weight once he was on solid ground in order to ease the slight pain that came from riding for far longer than he was used to. He sent a silently prayer of thanks to Bob for tricking him into taking riding lessons as a child along with his other studies.
When Gunter regained consciousness, his wail of despair echoed around their commandeered campsite as he realised he'd neglected to greet his new King properly.
