"Let go of me, honey. Your burning my arm," Lee said and Ryo looked at him.

"Sorry. I just wish he would have been a little more responsible than what he was," Ryo said.

"Well Elgas went after him."

"That horse had better kick that idiot good and hard."

"Oh come on, what he did wasn't THAT bad."

"Stupid bastard."

"No he's not. I know you're upset with him honey, but don't call him names."

"Should I insult you then?"

"No...I just wish you wouldn't call him names."

"Lee, he's half mine and right now I'm pissed off. I'm going to call him what I want. In my opinion, he's a stubborn bastard."

"That's definitely your half, then."

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Oh you said something. You just refused to repeat it."

"It's not my fault you didn't hear it the first time around. Baby..."

"Don't mock me then."

Lee whimpered as Ryo tied his hands to the bedframe. He watched Ryo for a moment then cried out as Ryo dug his claws against Lee's skin. Lirin ran into the room to inspect the sound then found a comfortable corner to sleep in. Ryo looked at the dragon for a moment then turned his attention back to Lee.

"You know, I could leave you like that and walk the grounds," Ryo said and Lee bared his fangs.

"Don't tease like that," he growled as Ryo stretched. Lee watched him, his eyes taking in every movement of Ryo's body.

"All right. I'll tease another way."

"Hopefully sexually. That IS the reason why I'm tied up, isn't it?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know?! What the hell are you talking about?!"

"I'm talking about THIS."

Ryo placed his mouth on Lee's groin and gently kissed it. Lee watched him with interest as he ran his slender fingers over Lee's skin.

"Do it the way I like it, baby."

"Someone's getting forceful. I don't know if I like that," Ryo said as he drew away.

"I'm sorry honey. Don't leave me like this," Lee said and Ryo shook his head.

"You start whining like a child and I'll give you nothing."

"Then finish me off, damn it!"

"You're cute when you're angry," Ryo said and Lee bared his fangs.

"Shut up."

"Only telling the truth. How's that?"

"I like it."

"Good. I don't like doing massages if I'm not going to get a response."

"There's only one thing in that area that could give a response and you're not touching it."

"Stop being sick."

"What's the matter? Have you gotten tired of nasty? I can't convince you to fire your gun any more?"

"You do this just to annoy me, don't you?"

"I do it to put your sex drive in high gear."

"I KNOW why you do it."

"Just making sure."

"Fuck you."

"I'm hoping you will."

"Why can't you take an insult instead of twisting it around to your advantage?"

"Just do me and I'll shut up."

"No you won't. You'll just yell more."

"I yell when it's good."

"Just like a woman and you can't do a damned thing about that remark. You can't cut the rope."

Lee sulked for a moment then glanced up when he felt Ryo's tongue on his skin. He watched Ryo lick him then winced slightly when Ryo bit him.

"Baby..."

Ryo drew away and stuck out his tongue, white fluid still dripping off of it. He turned away from Lee and folded his wings.

"Stupid bastard," he muttered as Lirin sat up and growled at the wall.

"He is not. Are you going to free me?" Lee asked then yelped as the rope became alight with flame. Lee dropped his hands as soon as the ropes burned through and the fire died down.

"You burned me," Lee said and Ryo took his hand. He studied it for a moment then let it go.

"You'll be fine," he said as the dragon continued to growl. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"What's he doing?"

"What does it look like he's doing? He's growling at the wall."

"Why? Come in."

"Forgive me," D said as Ryo picked up a robe. He shrugged his shoulders as Lee sat on the bed and stretched.

"It's not like this is the first time you've seen our flesh," he said as Lirin flew up to the windowsill and hissed.

"What's wrong with him?" Lee asked.

"I don't know. He's not being clear. Now what do you want, D?"

"Your presence is needed downstairs," D replied.

"What's happened?"

"Please, just come down."

"Be careful, honey," Lee said as Ryo dropped his robe and flexed his wings as he ran a hand over his fine armored skin. He pushed back his hair then followed D out of the bedroom.

"Can you tell me now?" Ryo asked.

"Something wishes to speak with you," D replied and Ryo paused. He picked up his scimitar and glanced at D.

"Should I be worried?"

"I'll let you decide."

Ryo stopped walking and gazed at D.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Your highness, please. I didn't think Lee would want to see her."

"No. No! What the hell is she doing here?!"

"I don't know. That's why I wasn't very explicit upstairs. Forgive me."

"I wish you would have told me. I'm going to be talking to her in the nude."

"You have your armor on."

"That's not the point. You should have told me up there and risked having him throw a fit. I want to know how she got here in the first place."

"I don't know but please speak with her so she can leave."

Ryo sighed and opened the door. Asa grabbed his waist and squeezed it tightly. Ryo tried to gently push her away but found it difficult to do with his long claws.

"Why are you here?" he asked then glanced at her. She was crying.

"Ikara..." she sniffed and Ryo managed to free himself from her grasp. If he was in his normal state, he could most likely deal with the situation better, but he knew that was impossible. The entire kingdom would get the wrong idea if they saw him in his natural state with her on the outside of the castle.

"Come on, I'll get you a drink," he said as he stepped back into the sanctity of the courtyard.

"But you don't know what happened!"

"I'm more than willing to listen over a glass of alcohol."

She slowly nodded her head and followed him into the castle. D brought up the rear, glancing over his shoulder as the steel door swung shut. Ryo glanced at him for a moment and D shook his head.

"I thought I saw something," he said. "It was nothing."

"You're eyes are pretty good but I hope you're right about whatever it was being nothing," Ryo commented. "When we get inside, will you go back to my room and get me a robe? Tell him the truth if he asks about it.""

"I don't want to hear him complain."

"I don't either. Just ignore him. He'll eventually shut up."

D slowly nodded his head then started up the stairs. Karu met him halfway and they continued up the stairs together.

"It's amazing how the past can come back to haunt one," he said and D glanced at him.

"You're not talking about his ancestors, are you?" he asked and Karu shook his aging head.

"Hardly and I believe that Lee's ability to raise the dead is no more. There seems to be no use for it, now that the ancient threat has been buried."

"What are you talking about, then?"

"That woman. She was a thorn in Ryo's side when he dispelled of Levin."

"I know. I was there. I'll be right back. I've got to get his highness' robe."

D stepped into the room and glanced at Lee who lay on the bed with his arms wrapped around Ryo's robe.

"Damn it," D muttered as he sat on the bed and shook Lee's side. Lee gave no response and D shut his eyes. "I hope you understand."

He crawled on the bed and gently kissed him. He rubbed Lee's shoulders and Lee glanced up at him.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Ryo wants his robe. I'm glad you weren't very responsive. Not to be mean, but I'm preferring my wife's love to yours."

"What was down there?"

D sighed and Lee looked at him. He handed the robe to D and sat up.

"What's down there?"

"Asa."

Lee hissed softly as he stood up. He opened the wardrobe and took out an outfit. He pulled back his hair and got dressed.

"Where are they?" he asked.

"The kitchen."

"Let me down there. What does she want with him?"

"I don't know."

Lee opened the bedroom door and stormed out of the room.

"Be aware that things may not be as they appear to be," Karu said as Lee walked past him.

"I'm going to find that out for myself," he said.
