wishchapter38 by RP 3.27.99 Rayla slowly opened his eyes, and found himself tightly embraced by his lover. Sugi's arms are so strong, so warm, and their owner devoted to protecting him from any harm. Rayla stroked Sugi's face lovingly, at the same time snuggled himself even closer to Sugi's lap. His action awoke Sugi, who looked down at Rayla's face and said worriedly, " Ryu.. has your wound stopped to bleed? Have I hurt you last night? I'm sorry I shouldn't have.." "Shhh.." Rayla pressed his fingers on Sugi's lips and whispered, " What wound? I've totally forgotten about it when I was in your arms last night.. besides, stop blaming yourself for having done what you did to me.. I would have been so angry and hurt if you dared to reject me." Rayla gave him a naughty wink. " Ryu.." Sugi shook his head and smiled, as if he didn't know what to do with this little creature that he loves so much. Love.. you're my only love and I would love you forever.. Sugi remembered chanting these words non stoppingly last night, the warm feeling in his heart so strong that it almost hurt. He's so familiar with the intimate body languages exchanged between lovers on bed, but it was when he was with Ryu.. that he first felt truly united with someone. He never expected to find true love, and now he's determined to never let go of Ryu, no matter what happens. " What are you thinking? Sugi?" Rayla pinched Sugi's face lightly. " Thinking how you're in big trouble now.." "How so..?" " Cos I've fallen so fatally in love with you now I'll never let you go." Sugi said and suddenly closed his mouth on Rayla's neck as if to bite him. Rayla giggled and closed his eyes feeling satisfied," Say you love me again.. Tell me how you're crazy for me.. I can never get tired of sweet talks.. from you." "I love you.. I love you.. I love you.." Sugi whispered, and found himself unable to stop saying these three words. Rayla's heart was filled with such bliss, that for that brief moment he's forgotten about his hatred, his revenge, even his identity. He felt that everything else has become unimportant, if only he could be with Sugi.. forever and ever.. But this wish was never meant to come true. Rayla caught a glimpse of a black figure shying away from the opening of the cave as he looked toward that direction. "Who is it?" Rayla set up straight away, Sugi spun around and instinctively stood in front of Rayla, shielding him and prepared for the attack. It was Kirito who made his entry into the cave. "Kirito?" Rayla said with a little surprise, " How long have you been out there?" "For quite a while.. your Majesty." Kirito knelt down in front of Rayla. "What brought you here Kirito?" "I…" Kirito hesitated, he didn't know whether he should say what he was meant to say. When he came back to conscience in Yoshiki's room, Princess Jun had already left. He went out in search of him only to find Princess Jun embracing J, Princess Jun's tormented and yet happy facial expression showed undeniably his love towards J. Kirito felt his heart twisted with a mix of feelings.. that were completely alien to him. He followed the strange pair, heard their conversation and came to the knowledge that Prince Rayla is somehow going to wed Princess Ino. Then he saw Princess Ino. Following Princess Jun and J like himself. He didn't know why he came to Rayla. Was it because he felt obliged to report to Rayla his fiancée's location, or was it because.. he didn't want Princess Ino to disturb Princess Jun and J? Never dared to name his admiration towards Jun, never dared to forget the large gulf between their statuses, Kirito could only choose to devote his love to Princess Jun, exactly the same way that he devotes his loyalty to Prince Rayla. A loyal dog who dares not consider possession of his object of affection. "Well, Kirito..?" Rayla has lost a bit of his patience. "Your Majesty.. I have found.. Princess Ino." Gritting his teeth, Kirito finally said. "You have??!!" Excited, Rayla straightened his pose. He then gave Sugi a quick glance and found the later, looking down at him disapprovingly. "Where.. where is she? Take me to her now!" "Ryu!!!" Sugi yelled, his face full of suspicion, " What are you going to do??!!" "I.. I told you Sugi.. I'm going to wed Ino so I could regain power quicker and consequently.. bring peace between the Moon Kingdom and the Dark Kingdom.. I.. we would part right after this purpose is attained.." "You said it's all politic.. does Princess Ino know about your plan?" Sugi was unconvinced. " Oh yes.. of course… you know how much she loves J and how much I love you.. how would it be possible that we really wed? Sugi.. you have to trust me, this is not just for me, but for the welfare of the whole universe.." "Ryu…" Sugi knelt down before Rayla and held his hands," I don't like this.. I don't know.. I have a real bad feeling about this.. could you forget about your revenge? Isn't it enough that we're now finally together, Ryu?" "Sugi.. I'm sorry.. but I really have to do it.. I just have to.. please forgive me, and help me.. then I promise you, we would REALLY be together after all these have passed." Rayla looked away, avoiding Sugi's gaze. He put on his clothes and turned to Kirito, " Let's go." Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Ino proceeded slowly and quietly, keeping a safe distance between him and the couple before him. Princess Jun was certainly no sportsman, he could not walk fast and would have stumbled, had J not caught hold of him in time. Ino's heart ached as he saw the privilege that he once enjoyed - the protection of J - now belonged to another person. An arm embraced him from behind, Ino was about to scream when he was spun around and saw Rayla's smiling face. "Prince.. Rayla? And.." Ino noticed the presence of another two beings behind Rayla, " Sugi?" "Your Majesty.. long time no see.. I'm too ashamed to even ask you how you are now?" Sugi said, his smile somehow mixed with worry and sadness. "I.. I'm fine.. Rayla.. I'm sorry I left before you came back.. I.. I just realized I can't marry you.." "Why is it my sweet heart?" Rayla pulled Ino gentally and led him to somewhere further away from Sugi, so he would not hear their conversation. "I.. I just found out that who I really love is J.. I can't lie to you nor myself anymore.. I have to go to him.." " Even if he doesn't want you anymore? Ino.. I was told that he's already with Jun now.. I know that you hurt him when you told him that you were going to marry me, but found a new love so fast? Ino.. he never really loved you. He was just fascinated by your beauty! And now Jun.. who possesses beauty no less than yours, has already captured his heart.." "I know.. but.. even so.. even so.. I still.." Ino lowered his head, feeling himself on the verge of tears. "Ino.." Rayla whispered tenderly, sensing his gradual lose of patience, why is this dumb beauty so taihen??!! Just like his own sister, they are supposed to be brainless dolls under his control and command, why do they want to have a mind of their own?? " Ino listen to me.. you're all confused. See who you really love is ME! Would you have given your first time to me if it weren't for the undeniable attraction that exists between us? You're not used to J not beside you because he has always been your care-taker! But now I'm with you, I swear I will protect you.." "No.. please let me go.." Ino pushed Rayla away and he saw in a blink of time, Rayla's vicious, evil look! His memory went back in a flash and he realized he's seen this face before - when Rayla suddenly knocked him down that night!! "No.. don't come near to me.." Ino retreated with fear. "Ino.. what's wrong..? Ino..?" Rayla approached. "No!!!! J!!!! J!!!! J help me!!!" Ino started running. Sugi didn't know what happened, but he saw Ino beginning to run away, and the very next second, he saw something he could_ not_ possibly believe. He saw a strong dark ray emanated from Rayla's right hand, and it hit Ino on the center of his back. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Sugi ran towards Ino, holding him in his arm and found him already unconscious. Rayla was stunned by his own action, he heard Ino shouting for J and he knew he couldn't let J notice them.. so he instinctively did what he thought could stop Ino from running and shouting! Now Sugi raised his head, looking directly into Rayla's eyes, his face full of pain and accusation. " Why..?? WHY DID YOU DO THIS!!!!" "I.. he was running away.. so I .." " This is what you meant to do to anyone who would not or could not be any use to you isn't it? This is what you planned to do to him after you've gotten what you wanted isn't it? This is what you plan to do to me….?" Sugi's trailed off as he found himself on the verge of tears. "No!! No!! Sugi.. this is a mistake.. please believe me.. I never meant to bring harm to him.. where are you going??!!" Rayla panicked as he saw Sugi standing up with Ino in his lap and began to walk away. "I'm going to leave you.. I need to protect Princess Ino and the Moon Kingdom, this is my long forgotten duty. I should have realized what sort of person you are.. J was right, I've been a fool.." "Sugi.. please don't go.. you can't leave me alone.. didn't you just promise you would be with me no matter what?" Rayla pleaded. This is the first time in his life that he had to plead. But Sugi did not stop, he walked ahead. "STOP!!! COME BACK TO ME!!" In despair and anger, he struck another attack towards Sugi. If I can't have you alive, I would have you dead!! I won't allow anyone to betray me!! Rayla screamed in his heart, his face full of tears. Sugi turned around, Rayla saw that his face in pain and in tears as well. Sugi did not dodge from the deadly light that hit his chest and made him fall backwards. "Ryu.. " Was the last word he uttered before he lost conscience. "Sugi!!!!!!" J got to the scene just to see both Sugi and Ino lying on the ground unconscious. "YOU!!!!!!" J looked towards Rayla, shear hatred was boiling his blood. He started to gather his power, he wanted to kill Rayla in one blow, that's how much he hates him!! Kirito stood in front of his master, who stood there perfectly still, void of any sign of emotion. J fired a vicious dark fire ball, Kirito was prepared to receive the full impact of it but… 'something' suddenly descended in front of it and shielded the attack for him!!! "Kazushi!!!!!" Kirito exclaimed in surprise. Kazushi looked back at Kirito and smiled, " Kirito.. you're a very loyal guard but.. your fighting skill has a large room for improvement." Then he turned back to J, " Long time no see… J… you seem well." J narrowed his eyes and glared at Kazushi. He knows that Kazushi is the best among Rouage and that he doesn't have confidence to win the battle now that he's being outnumbered. "J!! Oh.. oh my God what has happened??" Princess Jun had finally got to the scene with her turtle speed. Kazushi was a little surprised seeing Jun, but then he didn't care. "J…. I don't know what unsolved business exists between you and my master.. however I believe you can see now you're disadvantaged, so why don't you take your loved ones and leave?" J didn't say anything, but he collected both Sugi and Ino, one in each arm and began to leave. "Oh and.. why don't you make up your mind and choose your side quick? Is it the Moon Kingdom that you're fighting for or Sir Imai? I believe the war is going to begin.. real soon." Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Both Ino and Sugi were alright after a few days after J's care taking. Rayla never really meant to kill them. J realized that but he wouldn't admit it to anyone. Ino had never been fully awaken but he's passed all danger, it was Sugi who J really worried about. Sugi had long regained conscience but he would not talk, he would sit in the same spot whole day and stare into the sky. J knew he's heartbroken and he too, felt heartbroken seeing Sugi lost all the shine that's unique to him. J missed the narcissist and impish Sugi so much. He felt he would do anything just to make Sugi laugh like a spoilt brat again. J entered Sugi's room and found him sitting in the corner of the bed, the same place he'd been since this morning. J couldn't take it anymore, he dashed forward and grabbed Sugi on the shoulder, then he shook him. " Wake up you fxxking bastard!!!! Don't act like this anymore!!!! I.. I can't stand it anymore!!! Say something to me!! Look at me!!!!" "J..?" Sugi forced himself to look at J, seeing his painful expression, Sugi's heart was softened a little. " I'm alright." Sugi saw in his mind's eye that unmistakable figure, in tears, but had the deadly dark power emanated from his hands. He had loved that person so much.. what is he doing now? "I'm perfectly alright.." I will love you forever.. forever and ever.. He remembered the sweet smile on Rayla's face when he said those words. Sugi felt himself on the verge of tears. "Aren't you happy for me J? I've waken up from a long, long bad dream" Sugi kissed J's lips lightly, even managed to put a big smile on his face. I will never love again. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx On the other hand, Rayla had fallen into a mysterious comma after the "battle". He had sweat all over his face and would sometimes mumble with his whole face contorted as if in a bad dream. Kirito panicked as he was clueless what he should do. " Kirito, stop pacing around, you're distracting me from thinking." Kazushi complained. "But… what shall we do??!! Prince Rayla had been like that for three days already!!" "Hmm… we definitely can't go back to the Dark Kingdom, it would be too risky.. I guess we'll have to try make use of a earthling doctor then.. who do you have in mind?" "…….. the one and the only doctor that I know of is…" "Ha.. ha… HACHU!!!!" "S… strange… what is this chill that I'm feeling about??" Camui rubbed both of his arms. The sudden urge to sneeze had pulled him back from his … rather unspeakable fantasy about Mana, who all of a sudden became approachable to him. " Oh.. Mana.. my love.." Camui hugged himself ( as if there's someone in between his arms), " Mana.. Mana.. Wuuahhhh MAMA!!!" Camui shrieked as his door being kicked open with a big bang. That scary scarred blond was here again, with someone in his arms and another behind him. Their face a total blank. Kirito strode in and put Rayla on the bed gently and then he turned to the shocked Camui, " Examine him now." After a few hours of examining, Camui seemed to have found out about 'something', his face whitened and he kept mumbling, " Impossible.. this is impossible…. Geez this should only happen in a movie.." "What is it? What is wrong with my master??" Kirito demanded. "I…well he.. um.." Camui hesitated, fearing that his ridiculous answer might further agitate this seemingly cold blooded stranger. "TELL ME!!!" Kirito grabbed hold of Camui's neck and was holding him up into the air. "Hey Kirito you wanna kill him? Let him down!" Kazushi stopped Kirito and asked Camui tenderly, " Could you please tell us what's wrong with this man? Doctor?" "Cough cough.. he… he.. he is "pregnant"". Camui finally squeezed out the most ridiculous diagnosis that he's ever made in his life. "What..????" Both Kirito and Kazushi froze. "I don't know!!!! I mean.. I'm sure there's some form of 'life' in his tummy.. but.. this couldn't be … right??" Camui found himself seeking reassurance from the other men. Kazushi was quietly astonished. Unlike the earthlings, in both the Moon Kingdom, the Dark Kingdom and Ciel, citizens are all single sexed. If and only if two people are truly in love and when they have sex, would the 'receiving' side of the two parties conceive the child. Of course this has never happened before-a Moon Kingdom citizen making a Dark Kingdom royal pregnant. What would become of the child?? An angel or a demon? Kazushi spun around and saw Rayla, although still lying still on the bed, had his eyes wide opened. He heard what we said? "Your Majesty.." Kirito rushed to Rayla's side, not knowing what to say. " Kirito.. my faithful Kirito.." Rayla stroke Kirito's head as if stroking a child. " You will be loyal to me, forever and no matter what, right?" Rayla whispered. "Yes my Lord.. my loyalty goes to you and you only.." "even if I shall bring harm to your loved ones??!!" Rayla's voice suddenly sharpened, his face was full of malice. Kirito was dumbfounded.. who is Prince Rayla hinting? "It's alright.. Kirito.. lie to me.. how I love to hear people lie.. about never betray me nor leave me.." "My own child…" Rayla stroked his stomach lovingly, then he looked up, this time at Kazushi who had remained silent, the evil in his smile made Kazushi shiver. " What could be a better weapon to use against your ex-lover than his child?" XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX next.... previous... wish index... back to zealous
