CHAPTER TWO: Gramps's Bargain

-----------------------------

"For 14 years, you didn't give me a spare minute to tell me that my parents are alive and royal?" Yoh was now at home that night, talking to Shilva.

Shilva shrugs. "It's the right thing to do," he replied.

"Oh..." Yoh said doubtfully.

"You were in danger. The threats to you are all lethal. I can't just let my prince to be in danger!" Shilva explained, "I was scared!"

"Living with an overprotective guardian who lied to me scares me." Yoh answered.

Then he stormed off. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to stay in the royal bedchamber!" he shouted, turning his heel. He climbed up the stairs and left without a single word. Shilva sighed.

He followed Yoh upstairs to his room. "We were going to tell you when you're 18, but when your dad left, things changed as we planned. We just wanted to protect you!" Shilva still explained to Yoh.

"W-wait. I don't feel protected at all." Yoh said. "I lived my life for 14 years as a normal kid, and for 5 minutes, I become a Prince! Just in case I'm enough of a freak already, let's have a crown!"

"Eat your onigiri,"

"I'm not that hungry,"

"Well fine. Good night." Shilva left the room.

Amidamaru, Yoh's spirit friend came out. "Master Yoh, don't be sad..."

"Amidamaru, you're lucky you don't know your parents." Yoh said.

"They were deceased because of a war, you know." He replied. "You are the one who's lucky, indeed. At least you have them after all."

Yoh was suddenly enlightened. "You're correct. I must be really lucky."

-----------------------------

The next morning, there are limousines parked in front of their apartment. It's the car of the Izumo republic. The cars have flags on it's front, and it's elegantly black in color.

"Good morning, King Yohmei..." Shilva greeted as he bowed down.

"I came to pick up my grandson." Yohmei replied. "Where is he?"

"The Prince is right here," Yoh answered flatly. "What do you need? Will I ride the brand new royal carriage?"

"Master Yoh! Stop it!" Shilva exclaimed. "I'm sorry, your highness."

"It's okay, as long as he already accepts the fact that he's a prince." Yohmei laughed. "Let's go now."

"No way. Not until you take off my crown and announce me dead." Yoh said.

"Yoh Asakura!" Yohmei scolded him. "Do you realize what does that mean?"

"Yup. I'm certain as always like the strong west wind." Yoh answered. "Will you KINDLY do it for me, your highness?"

"No way. You're staying as our heir." He said stubbornly.

Shilva sighed. "Now I know where Yoh got his stubborn attitude..." he was sweat dropped. "You're really an Asakura."

"Pardon me?" they both exclaimed in unison. "Hmph!"

"I guess we won't come up with something. So I decided to have a bargain with you, my grandson." Yohmei said.

"A bargain???" Yoh asked. His gramps simply nodded.

-----------------------------

Yoh was thinking for a while already. He won't come out of his room unless he thinks of an answer that won't hurt him in the process...

"30 days? And a ball? Hmn..." Yoh thought. "I could stand the training. But the ball? I think... nope."

"Yoh! Come out now, it's already 8 AM!" Shilva shouted from downstairs, looking at his watch.

"I'm comin'!" Yoh replied. "I have my decision already!"

He hurriedly went downstairs. "Yup, you heard it right." He began.

"Okay, so what's it? Spain and China are waiting for me!" Yohmei said.

"Here's my deal. I will have that darn training, and I will decide on the last day whether I go to the ball or not." Yoh said.

"But that ball is soooo important! That's our independence day!" Yohmei countered.

"That's the only way I'll agree with you, gramps."

"Ah... okay! Fine! Just go on my training! You'll love it too." He agreed. "The deal is on, my Yoh."

"So... let's not keep China and Spain waiting? You can go now, the two of you royal highnesses..." Shilva said to break the ice. "Take care!"

"Bye now..."

"Wow. A grand carriage!" Yoh exclaimed, touching the Limo.

"By the way, Yoh. This is Kino. She's in charged of security." Yohmei introduced her.

"Good morning, Young Master."

"Nice to meet you!" he said. "Cool! You know what? I also have a car but it's in the Dr. Faust Motors!! It's a Stallion!"

"A Stallion? We raise Stallions at Izumo..." Yohmei replied, unfamiliar with what he said.

"COOL!" Yoh exclaimed. "You raise Toyotas and Hondas too?" he laughed at his comment and Kino snickered.

"Let's go!" Kino exclaimed. "To your school, Shinra High!"

"I have a present for you. This will be your new bag. It has Izumo's coat of arms there." Yohmei gave him a bag.

"WOAH. Dolce and Gabbana!" Yoh cried out. "I can't wait to make Manta see this!!!"

"By the way, don't tell anyone about your current situation."

"Hai!"

"Remember that or you'll be in big trouble."

"Wakarimashita!"

-----------------------------

"I think I'll just go down from here so there won't be any fuss..." Yoh said.

"Why is that so?"

"Your... ride is actually... cool. And I hate being cool." Yoh answered.

"Okay, Good luck!"

"By gramps and granny!"

Kino blushed at what he said. "Got to go!" Yoh waved his hand continuously.

Yohmei sighed as he glanced at the boy. "Will he make it?"

"I think so. He's like his father, your highness..." Kino commented. "A free spirited, just like the wind."
