Confessions for the Heart

By Kitty and JC

The day was glowing as the blue-haired man awoke from his slumber. He could feel the warmth next to him that had been a permanent fixture for a little over a month. The pain he had once felt was only a conflicting memory to the happiness of his present. He still thought of his other love, but not as often and not with the aching knot in his chest.

" Wake up love," his whispered to the sleeping form next to him. The blonde merely purred at the feel of the cool breath on his skin and cuddled closer to him. Anubis smiled affectionately at the innocence his lover showed when deep in clutches of sleep. He who was normally a light sleeper had been sleeping longer due to their 'eventful' evenings together.

He didn't want to wake the other man from his dreams, but he knew that they should get up. Manly, it was because Anubis wanted to know of the surprise his blonde angel had spoke of the night before. Seiji had said that they had many things that they would do that day, but would not tell of what they were. Anubis, being a curious man, could not wait any longer.

" Seiji, love," Anubis whispered into his ear. " We really should get up."

" You just want to know what I've planned for the day," the blonde murmured with a small grin on his lips.

" So you weren't asleep?" Anubis chuckled. " My, you do like to make me wait."

" Only on some things," Seiji replied back. " You just look so cute when you're impatient."

" Well? Are you going to tell me now?" he asked.

" We're going out," Seiji answered. " A full day away from home." The blonde had no problem saying that word now. For with Anubis he felt completely at home and knew he never had to feel in the wrong about anything.

He thought back to the other Troopers, but quickly pushed them out of his mind. He knew he still wasn't ready to go back yet. Going back would mean answering a lot of questions he wasn't ready to answer right then. He himself had only found the truth a month ago and did not believe he could explain all that he was fully clear on himself. He didn't know how to explain to them the pain he had felt and then tell them of the measures he took to rid himself of it.

" Where are we going to?" Anubis asked. " The forest? The mountains?"

" The city, of course," Seiji matter-of-factly.

" Nani?" Anubis face became one of a small frown.

" Come on love," Seiji gave him a pleading look. " You haven't been out of the apartment the entire time we've been here, save down to the traditional restaurant down the street. It will be for you to see how the world has changed so that you can get used to it."

" I find no reason for us to have to go outside," Anubis countered. " I think we do just fine here."

" But you were in another realm for four hundred years," Seiji shot back calmly. " I thought that a man as curious about things as yourself would relish the thought of sightseeing your modern homeland."

" I believe we are just fine here," Anubis repeated. " Why bring in anything more then what we need, that being each other?"

Seiji raised and eyebrow and knew exactly how to get his way in only a few small words. " You're afraid, aren't you?" he whispered.

" Nani?" Anubis looked appalled. " I have never been afraid about anything in my life." The blue-haired swordsman knew that this wasn't true. He knew that he was afraid that the world had changed too much and that he would never be able to get used to it. He stayed in the apartment with the few things he'd come to understand: refrigerators, microwaves, electricity, and cable television.

" Please love," Seiji had the 'starving-pleading puppy dog' look in his eyes and Anubis knew that he couldn't refuse him. That look had given Seiji quite a lot of control in their relationship, due to Anubis' weakness from the blonde's hypnotic lavender/blue eyes.

" All right, Seiji," he sighed, showing his defeat. " You win. I will agree to this outing you have arranged, but believe me, I do intend to get something out of this."

" Fine," Seiji smiled and Anubis couldn't help, but forget his worries about his decision. Then Seiji's eye cut into a seductive gaze. " Would you like your payment for being so submissive now or later?"

" Me submissive?" Anubis chuckled a little. " Maybe I should put us on the TV so you can see where you are when me make love."

" Just shut up and kiss me," Seiji pulled Anubis lips towards his and the other man readily complied to the blonde's wishes. Everything else was forgotten as the two once again began to express their love for each other in most physical and intimate of ways.

" What are we doing at such a large tower?" Anubis questioned as he stared up at the ten story building Seiji had called, 'a mall.'

" We are here to get you some clothes," Seiji replied as he pulled him in through the glass doors. Already he had taken Anubis to a breakfast at a small homey restaurant, had a long walk in the park, went to a movie (where Anubis almost had a heart attack from the loud surround sound speakers), and visited the museum where Seiji knew Anubis would feel at home in.

Now they were going into the clothing stores to buy Anubis some more regular clothes. His clothes consisted of dress shirts and slack just like the ones Seiji had at the apartment. But the blonde knew that both of them needed something new for what he'd planned as their final move of the night. He smiled devilishly to himself as he thought of what he older lover would think of his choice of places to go.

" Are you sure we should do this?" Anubis was staring wide-eyed at the assemblages of people around them as they walked. The building itself seemed to be just as huge inside as it was outside, if not seeming larger. The people though, were assorted with different colored hair ranging from black to neon pink and seemed to meld together with the quick movements of others as they tried to get to their destinations.

" I'm sure," Seiji replied. " We're only going to this store right here." Seiji pointed to a store with the words, For Every Type of Man, written above the doorway.

" Why are we here again?" Anubis stared at the place warily.

" To get some clothes for tonight," Seiji smirked. " The things we wear normally aren't going to work for what I have planned."

" What is this that you have planned?" Anubis asked as he had already ten times.

" I told you to wait and you'd see," Seiji placed a finger on his lips. " Now don't ask again of you won't get anything for me tonight afterwards."

" There was something afterwards?" Anubis had a mischievous glint in his eyes.

" Not if you keep asking me the same question that you know I won't answer," Seiji shook his head, the hair covering his right eye seemed to move and give Anubis a better view of both lavender/blue orbs.

" I'll be good," the blue-haired man promised with a smirk on his lips.

" You'd better," Seiji grinned as he pulled the other man into the store. Before Anubis, Seiji never would have even thought of showing affectionate emotions out in the open. His father and grandfather had taught him that such public displays were wrong for a man and should never be practiced. But with his lover at his side, the blonde didn't care. The harsh breeding of his family was the farthest thing from his mind.

The store was considerably empty when they entered and Anubis was able to give a sigh of relief. Seiji didn't stop walking until he'd reached a rack covered in clothes that were dark colored and leather looking. He knew that this was just the type of clothes that would be perfect the night's festivities. He never truly was a person for this kind of thing, but Touma had showed him was to look for.

He scanned the rack with a look of inspection at all that caught his eye. Then his eyes fell on a pair of pants that made left his mouth opened in awe. They were a pair of skin-tight, black leather with black elastic strings that tied up the outside of each leg. The designer had omitted the usual front of a button and zipper and replaced it with an 'x-shaped' metal buckle and Velcro.

The blonde had to force away the images of how fun it would be to take the pants off of Anubis. He knew it wouldn't do to have a large bulge in his pants right then. He grabbed the pair off the rack and began his search again. He then found a tight leather vest with satin lining on the inside for comfort that was closed by a zipper that only met to an inch above the bottom of it and three inches from the collar. Picturing the vest with the pants he had found left him slightly uncomfortable.

Taking the vest he walked over to the shoe section and found a pair of black mid-calf steel-toed boots that had an inch-high heal. They were closed with two metal zippers that came up the outside of the shoe and stopped so that there was a 'u-shaped' curve to the front. The blonde guessed that it was to make easier movements. Smiling at his soon-to-be perfect outfit, Seiji picked the shoes up and walked over to the wide spread jewelry and accessory section.

After paying for the clothes he knew would lead to a lot of sexual tension (if they hadn't already), the blonde knew it was time to find Anubis. He found his blue-haired lover staring at the rack across from the one he had found his treasures at. He grinned at the look in Anubis' eyes, one of confusion and lustful visions. He walked over quietly and blew a cool breath on one of his sensitive ears.

Anubis shivered and turned to face him quickly. He pushed the daydreams of Seiji out of his mind and concentrated on the real thing. Seiji cut his eyes in a seductive gaze and asked, " Find something you like?"

" You could say that. But isn't the style of the clothes a little uncouth?" Anubis turned his glance back onto the clothes he had been staring at when his images of Seiji appeared in his mind.

" These are just the clothes that are needed for what I have planned," Seiji stated. " But it would be a pity, I already found something that I know will look very good on you."

" I didn't find something for myself," Anubis shook his head.

" For me then?" Seiji gave his 'all-knowing devil' look and smirked. " Then get it. It's only fair that if I buy your clothes then you buy mine."

" But I wouldn't want you to see it yet," Anubis replied.

" Then you pay for it," Seiji held out his credit card. " It's the same way that I let you do it at the restaurant. You just give the card to her when she asks for payment."

" All right," the blue-haired man nodded. He took the card and Seiji nodded before turning to walk to the door. He waited patiently for Anubis to come out and thought about how well the day had gone. He himself wasn't too fond of spending his time around people when he preferred seclusion, but Anubis' stayed away more out of society do to years of solitary in another realm.

He seemed to be less weary of crowds now, but he knew it would take a little more time. Perfect, Seiji smiled to himself. This day is going to be perfect. But the blonde had forgotten one of the first rules he had taught himself as a child. 'Don't ever think something is perfect for it can easily get worse.' And that's exactly what happened.

" Nii-chan!!" a voice yelled from nearby. "Nii-chan! Seiji!"

Oh God no, Seiji prayed silently. Please no.

" Nii-chan," the voice was so close and then he felt a hand on his shoulder. He opened his eyes and stared into the innocent brown eyes of his younger sister, Satsuki.

" Hey Nii-chan!" she smiled broadly.

" Hello Suki," Seiji returned with a forced smile. He was actually glad to see his sister after so long, but he knew that no good could come from her catching him there.

" I haven't seen you in sooo long," she snarled. " What the hell happened? They said that you disappeared from Nasuti's and didn't come back."

" Well…" Seiji didn't know what to say. If his family knew that he had fled Nasuti's then he was in deep trouble. It only made his fear of his family finding out about Anubis and himself. It wasn't that he was ashamed of his love for the Yami Masho, only afraid his family would send him away so he'd never see him again.

" Seiji, let's get go-," Anubis walked out of the clothing store, but stopped his words when he saw the young girl with Seiji.

Satsuki stared at the blue-haired man with a curious eye and smiled, " Well, who's this Nii-chan?"

" Nii-chan?" Anubis raised an eyebrow.

" Anubis this is my sister, Satsuki," Seiji introduced them to each other. " Suki, this is Anubis."

Sister, eh? Seiji had already told Anubis of his family and how they frowned upon same sex relationships, but this one seemed different. Her eyes were strangely accepting and understanding. That's when he realized she was staring intently at his face and he realized what she was wondering about.

" The scar was from an accident," he replied quickly. " I'm sorry if it offends you."

" Offend me?" Satsuki laughed. " I like it. It makes you look like an old samurai and yet, you look young and roguish. It works for you."

" Arigato," Anubis replied. " I guess you really are Seiji's sister."

" Please, I'm the normal one," she smirked. " So where did you find him?" She pointed to her brother. Seiji wanted to hit her for her bluntness.

" We've known each other for a few years," Anubis answered.

" I guess you must know the other guys," she sighed. Then she smiled a bit and leaned closer to him. " You got a girlfriend?"

" Nani?!" Anubis' face turned red and Seiji looked as if he was ready to really hit her.

" Sorry!" she giggled. " I just wanted to see your reaction. You look like a guy that has to fight 'em off with a stick. Poor Seiji, Mom said that Yayoi and Grandfather traumatized him and so he can't be around girls. He freaks out and starts to hyperventilate. It's kinda cute."

" Satsuki!" Seiji couldn't believe her. Was she so mad at him for not calling in over a month that she would embarrass him like that? The answer, oh hell yes.

" Traumatized?" Anubis was getting confused. He looked at Seiji with a question in his eyes. " What did they do to you?"

" Only dressed him up as a girl for the first six years of his life," Satsuki shrugged. " People use to think he was me."

" Nani?!" Anubis was shocked beyond belief and Seiji had just lost his last shred of patience.

" That's it Satsuki," he stepped towards her. " I know you're mad at me, but that doesn't mean make a scene in front of one of my friends! I can't believe you would just say something ike that out in public, have you no sense of courtesy for others?"

" This coming from the man that ignores his family and most of his friends," she huffed. " And you'd think he was your boyfriend the way you're getting so bent out of shape."

Seiji's anger left him and he blushed a deep red. Anubis just stared at the look on his lover's face and didn't know what to say. No wonder Seiji had left home if they could do this to his cool demeanor.

" Seiji?" Satsuki gave him a confused look. " Why are you blushing like that?"

The blonde turned around quickly and grabbed his bag with one hand and Anubis' wrist with the other. " We're leaving," he growled and left the older man no room for argument. Not even saying goodbye to his sister, Seiji pulled the blue-haired swordsman through the crowd towards the mall front entrance.

" He's never blushed like that in his entire life," Satsuki said to herself. " You'd think he actually was his…" Suddenly, realization struck and she gasped in disbelief. Now I know why he won't come home, she thought. Grandfather would kill him if it's true.

TBC…

A/N: How was that? Should we continue?

JC: We would love hear from you, unless you fall under the aforementioned warning.

Catherine: We hope that this is okay.

JC: I think that we are going really fats with all this writing. Maybe we should cut down a little.

Catherine: Maybe you're right.

Kathrine: Not until my imagination turns to mush and I have no other ideas in my section of the brain!

JC: We know that'll be a while. So I guess we just keep writing. Do you all even like listening to us babble? I know we get annoying. Too many people at once to listen to.

Kathrine: Well just review this and tell them what you thought so she will shut up.

Catherine: Please do!
