Chapter 3: The Caerula Adamas!

Yumoto smiled as he woke up, Atsushi was laying out his clothes and smiled, "Good morning, Little One..."

Yumoto giggled, "It's my birthday today!"

Atsushi nodded, "Yes, it is. After breakfast your brother has a surprise for you."

Yumoto gasped, "Does he!?"

Atsushi nodded again, "And so do I."

Yumoto grinned and Atsushi began to help the now six-year-old get dressed.

-----

Yumoto ran to his brother after he ate breakfast, "An-chan! An-chan!!"

Gora smiled and watched as Yumoto sat down in front of him, "Atsushi-senpai says you have something for me!"

Gora nodded, "That I do Yumoto." He pulled out a some-what large wrapped present and Yumoto's red eyes widened.

"Go ahead, open it." He smiled and his four Battle Lover guardians watched the six-year-old tear into it. He gasped as a pink animal stuck its head out.

Yumoto gasped as it cleared its throat. "Is that a wombat...?" Ryuu whispered and the animal gasped, "What!? No! I'm not a wombat!"

Yumoto's eyes widened, "Wombat!!!" The animal looked at the young god and sniffed him.

Yumoto giggled and grabbed him. "Wom-san, Wom-san~!" He sang and Wombat blushed as he was cuddled.

"Yumoto, Wombat is your animal guardian."

Yumoto raised an eyebrow and Wombat jumped to him, "Yumoto...?"

Yumoto nodded, "Yes, that's my name!"

Wombat frowned at him and Ryuu smiled, "Wom-san, huh?"

-------

Yumoto hid behind his wombat plushie as Atsushi introduced the white haired, green eye man in front of him.

"This is my friend, Kinshiro, but you may call him Aurite. He's the leader of the Caerula Adamas."

"Kero?" Yumoto asked.

"No, no, Yumoto, it's not a frog." Atsushi laughed and Yumoto nodded.

Kinshiro looked at him, "Dear Prince Scarlet, it's an honor to meet you...the next God of Love..."

Yumoto frowned as Kinshiro grabbed his hand and held it briefly. "I feel like you will be very powerful one day..."

"Really?"
"Really."

Io, Ryuu, and Yumoto were heading to his lessons when a man with long pink hair walked by and bumped into Ryuu.

"Damn you Gero-kun!" Ryuu yelled and Io covered Yumoto's ears, "RYUU! Don't curse around him!"

Yumoto raised an eyebrow as Io uncovered his ears.

The pink haired man smiled at him, "Hello, my name is Gero Akoya...I'm actually Perlite, the third and final Caerula Adamas member."

"Third? I've only met one..." Yumoto pouted and Akoya smiled. "You'll meet the second member soon enough."

He looked at Yumoto, "Little One...you're a fluffhead now..." He giggled, "Fluffhead...I'll call you that now."

Yumoto looked at him, "H-huh?!"

-------

Yumoto gasped as two boys laughed at him,

"You're not Maximum Gorar's brother!" A boy sneered, and Yumoto gasped, "I am too!"

"If you truly are the next God of Love, then why don't you transform into your true form!"

"H-huh? T-true form?" Yumoto spoke and the boy laughed, "He doesn't even know what that is!"

Yumoto gasped and felt tears forming, he gasped as he heard Io and Ryuu yelling for him

"Prince Scarlet!" Vesta yelled "Little One!" Sulfur gasped, "Where are you?"

"Oh no!" Another boy gasped and they ran off.

Yumoto picked up his wombat plushie and began to cry as he ran off.

"Scarlet!!" Vesta gasped as the six-year-old ran past him and ran off towards the castle where his brother was.

He ran into the castle and ran by Gora's room when he saw a pure white door. He froze and gasped as he saw it. He walked forward to it and slowly opened it.

His eyes widened as he saw a tall figure standing there. He gasped and hid behind the door frame. "Little One?" a man's voice asked and Yumoto watched as the figure knelt in front of him. "Hello...dear Prince Yumoto, future God of Love..."

Yumoto looked at him and giggled as the man grabbed his hand, "I am Argent...the second member of the Caerula Adamas..."

Yumoto felt an instant bond with this man and smiled as the man replied, "But you may call me by my other name, Arima Ibushi."

"Now, Little One, why were you crying?" Ibushi asked and Yumoto looked down. "T-These two boys were s-saying that-that I-I wasn't a-an-chan's brother..."

Ibushi gasped, "What?"

"T-they said I wasn't because I-I hadn't h-had a true form..."

"Now dear Little One, you haven't awakened Scarlet yet, because now is not the time for which you are needed."

---------

Yumoto frowned in his sleep and the six-year-old tossed and turned...

"Scarlet...your brother is ours!"

"No!" A man who looked like Yumoto screamed, "He's my brother! You can't take him!"

"Future God of Love, look around!" The voice laughed, "Your guardians are dead, they died protecting you."

"N-NO! You're lying! I'll bring them back!"

"You will awaken and die!" the voice laughed and Scarlet growled, "I will never let you kill me...!"

"Scarlet...you will never get the throne..."
"Shut up!" Ibushi's voice yelled, "Little One! You must not listen to your dream! Your destiny is to save the world, do not let Hireashi or whatever this demon is tell you otherwise!"

Scarlet nodded, "Of course..."

Yumoto frowned as he looked at Scarlet who walked over to him. "Little One...when you wake up from sleep, you need to tell Atsushi or Kinshiro...they must know of this threat!"
-------
Ibushi frowned as Kinshiro looked at him, "Scarlet...? Is that his true form?"
"Yes...these kids told the heir that Scarlet is him...this has caused something to awaken in him..."

Ibushi gasped, "L-like what?"
"He's having more nightmares about Hireashi..."

Ibushi looked down and frowned...he didn't know what to do...what could you do?
