______________________________________________________________________________

"Lady Nasuti, what is all that noise down there about?" The auburn woman turned to the man who had just entered her room.

"Did I tell you that you could come in Ryo?" The onyx boy shrugged.

"You didn’t tell me I couldn’t. Have my men found something that interests them so much?" Nasuti again shrugged.

"You know that I don’t go near your men. What perverts they are." Ryo sighed. The lady had a very valid point. His men were brutal, but that may have been learned from the leader himself.

"I better go check it out. I have to go see what they earned in the most recent battle anyways." Nasuti nodded.

"And please get out of my room." She stated as he grinned.

"But honey, you’re just so pretty, who says that I want to leave?" Nasuti laughed as she shoved Ryo out of her door.

"Now go away!" She stated while laughing, as she shut the door on him. Ryo grinned as he made his way down the stairs. Whatever was making his men this loud must have been something really good. Quietly, so that no one noticed and would stop, he opened to door to the lounging area. He gasped at the site. They had a poor woman at their disposal, who sat crying, her golden hair plastered to her forehead in sweat, her arms tied behind her. The clothes she had been put in were way too short, the skirt reaching above mid-thigh, the shirt showing off her navel. Instead of fighting back, she took the abuse, the touching and roaming of her flesh, which shocked Ryo to no end. Obviously, she was too distressed to care at that moment of time. Ryo sighed, he was just as bad himself, but for some reason he felt sorry for this woman.

"Oh gods! Leave the poor woman be men!" Every single man stopped, standing tall to salute their leader. Ryo sighed as he walked over to the blonde.

"So, why are you crying?"

"Just get the hell away. I want to be alone." She gasped, to which Ryo learned the she was actually a he. A very attractive he indeed.

"What bit you in the ass?" Ryo asked, ignoring the glare that he received.

"Your bastard men killed my lover because they found he held no use, ok?" The blonde turned his head away from the onyx haired boy.

"So what urged them too keep you, besides your looks."

"I can heal." He stated bluntly, still not turning to face the other man.

"Heal? Ryo asked in curiosity as the boy sighed, and nodded.

"Yes, I can heal. Big wounds, small wounds, all wounds! With just my hands."

"Would you care to demonstrate?" Ryo asked as the boy balked at the idea.

"Oh yes! Your jackass men just killed my lover, I was taking prisoner by a bunch of freaks, I have no way of knowing if my little sister is ok, AND I' m dressed as a woman! Well, if life can get any better then this, of course I’ll heal one of your damn friends!" He took a deep breath, tears still pouring down his cheeks. Ryo blinked in shock. No one had ever insulted him to his face. No one was stupid enough to. Yet this boy, who was younger then Ryo, he could tell, just cussed him out and spoke his mind. And it was apparent that his men were in shock as well.

"Crap, the boss is going to kill the boy, isn’t he?" One man whispered, gathering a round of nods from the other men. Ryo looked down at the boy, who simply glared back in anger.

"Kill me? Go ahead. At least I’d be with Eriac again. And death would be better then this hell anyways." Ryo said nothing.

"What is your name?" He finally asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence.

"Seiji. Seiji Date, thank you very much." Ryo’s eyes never left the piercing set of Sage’s as he pulled the boy into his arms.

"Come with me, we need to talk boy. I need to get some information out of you."

"My name is not boy, the least you could do is call me by my name." Seiji stated as Ryo ignored him. Finally, after Sage had been carried up about three flights of stairs, he felt himself being dumped on a bed.

"Ok, who is Eriac?" He asked as Seiji did his best to keep the tears from overflowing in his eyes.

"He.... was my lover." Seiji stated through a chocked sob. He did his best to pull his knees to his chest so he could burry his face into them, but with his arms chained back, it was impossible.

"Where do you come from?" Seiji tried to stop crying enough to answer the question.

"From.... From...." He tried to speak, but just couldn’t regain his voice through the tears and sobs. Ryo sighed, going behind the boy and un-doing the chains. Slowly and uncertainly, he pulled the crying boy into his arms.

"Umm.... So what did he look like?" Ryo asked as Seiji looked up through bleary eyes.

"Gods he was beautiful. He had short, mossy brown hair, and blue eyes identical to yours. He was so sweet. He would do anything to cheer me up, and if I have a bad omen, he would not do something."

"A bad omen?"

"A prophet dream. I have dreams before something really bad happens, and there has never been a time where it has lied to me. I did not tell anyone because I didn’t want to be taken away for that or my healing ability. But I was..." Ryo sighed. For some reason, he actually felt sorry for the boy. Never before had he felt sorry for a prisoner of his men, but for the first time ever he did.

"I am sorry for what my men have done."

"Well sorry won’t bring him back, will it? Sorry won’t let me go see my little sister once more, will it? And sorry won’t make me happy." He stated solemnly, as Ryo sighed in defeat. There was no way to make this boy happy again.

"I wasn’t there, it wasn’t in my control. Why be angry with me?"

"Why not?" Seiji fumed as he slipped off Ryo’s lap and shoved him away.

"It was your damn men that killed him! Why wouldn’t I be mad at you?"

"How the hell was I supposed to know that my men would do that?"

"Well, ruthless bastards tend to be just that!"

"Well how was I supposed to know that bad luck would befall you?" Seiji hung his head, sobbing in sadness and anger.

"Damn it, just leave me be! Let me go home..." Seiji wrapped trembling arms around himself as he cried.

"I can’t let you go. You know where we stay, and you are to valuable."

"Then that leaves me with only one escape. Death."

"Please don’t!"

"Since when did you become so polite?"

"Since your death was involved."

"And since when did someone become so useful to you that you actually cared about their welfare?" Ryo paused to think for a moment.

"Since they became so useful." Seiji sighed.

"You’re an ass, you know that right?"

"You seem to really enjoy that word don’t you? Well, that one and "Damn"." Seiji rolled his eyes at the man.

"Am I in hell or something?"

"No, you aren’t in hell. I can tell you that this is hardly hell."

"And what makes you say that?"

‘This." Ryo pulled the blonde to him as he pressed his lips against the blonde. Seiji stood in shock, unsure of what to do. Finally, it hit him as he shoved the onyx haired boy away.

"What the hell?" He demanded as Ryo grinned.

"Well, my men DID win you in battle." Seiji stared in hatred at the man.

"You killed my boyfriend and then you thought that you could take me for a good lay? Well, you can bet your money that’s not true!" Seiji growled, storming off to the door. Slamming it open, he began to walk away.

"Get your fine ass back here!" Ryo demanded, but Seiji ignored him.

"You know, your words are so attractive that of course I want to come back!" Seiji called back as he rolled his eyes and continued walking, and ran straight into a tall man that seemed to be nearly twice his size. Seiji gasped.

"Seems like someone wandered off. Are you lost sweetheart?" Seiji turned as he began to walk away, but a set of strong arms wrapped around his waist.

"Let. Me. Go." He demanded, but the man ignored him.

"You know as well as I do that the boss wants you back. Don’t see why he gets you when he didn’t even fight to earn you, but that’s how things run around here. And if the boss wants ya, he gets ya, got it?" Seiji said nothing as he heard someone come up behind them. He cursed aloud.

"You again." He murmured as he was dumped into the arms of Ryo once more.

"Aww, you don’t see happy to see me."

"I wonder why... could it be because your, what’s the word, an ass?" Ryo laughed out loud.

"You are so amusing! I dare say you are quite entertaining!"

"Oh that makes me feel so special! I am entertaining to a totally perverted man!" Ryo smiled.

"You are so lovely." Ryo stated as he set Seiji back onto his bed. Seiji said nothing as Ryo climbed next to him.

"You’re beauty is unmasked. You do nothing to hide it."

"But I do nothing to make it stand out either." Seiji pointed out as Ryo nodded in agreement.

"True. But you still are beautiful." Seiji shrugged.

"But I am not yours. I am Eriac’s."

"He is dead. Get over it. He will not be coming back anytime soon."

"Must you always bring my lover’s death up? Is it your job to bring my hell make to reality over and over again? Bastard!" Seiji kicked Ryo swiftly, as he rose to his feet.

"Stay in the bed. My guards are in front of the door, and there is nowhere for you to run."

"Damn you! Damn you and all your men to hell!"

"Damn us all you want. It will get you nowhere." Seiji turned away, hands across his chest, as he flushed. Quickly, he moved his arms to cover his stomach.

"Seiji..." Ryo sighed.

"Here is the bed. Stay in it for the night, please. I will not do anything undesirable to you." Slowly, uncertainly, he climbed back to the bed.

"Give me another chance, I don’t bite, really."

"For some reason I think you’re lying." Seiji stated as he brought himself closer to the other boy.

"Come, lay down, rest." Seiji nodded as he sat down on the bed. Carefully, the smiling boy pulled the blanket over the blonde, taking the boy into his arms and pulling him to his chest. Seiji hesitated but adjusted to the other man’s presence.

"Sleep." Ryo murmured as he ran his fingers through the blonde’s hair. Seiji sighed, it reminded him of Eriac so much. Soft fingers in his hair, his won head nestled against his lover’s strong chest. And before he knew it, he was asleep in the army leaders arms.
