Chapter One

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Looking at the bag he smiled knowing that this was his trophy, his and only his. `He was simple to get! All I had to do was find his position and then duel him. It was a piece of cake! Even a baby could have defeated him. He wasn't as strong as they had said. Everyone has a weakness, that one moment when a deadly strike can be taken. I merely discovered that weakness and used it to my advantage... Nothing to it!' He thought to himself as he tied the bag to his belt. Looking over to the sign for a shabby looking inn, he grinned and walked into it.

Searching the crowd for familiar faces he soon found them and walked over. Sitting down in the empty seat he looked at them wickedly before untying the bag from his belt and setting it on the table. Hearing the comments, he closed his eyes. `And they thought that I was a novice. Ha! I showed them.'

"So what do you think? Quite a beauty now, don't you think? And guess what? You guys said this person was a tricky one and still I took him on! And beat him no less! It was a piece of cake! Well now are you still going to call me a novice or what?"

A blue haired man snatched the bag from the table, opened it and smiled. "Who knows? Maybe you're past the part of being a novice but I can tell ya for sure that you aren't a professional yet because for one thing, that one would be hard for just a beginner and two, what about those scars huh…?"

"Oh these? They're nothing compared to what I've dealt with before! Besides it's not like you could have done any better? Look at that one you tried to take down years ago? What was his name again? Something Hashiba? Can't remember really." The blond replied back to him. "Hell I think I could do better on the guy than you could any day!" Taking out the old shredded paper he looked closely at it. "Ah yes! His name was Touma Hashiba. He doesn't even look dangerous! He's just too innocent and sweet looking to me. You must have either had a bad day or you just didn`t try hard enough. Everyone has a weakness Anubis. You just need to find them."

"Don't say that boy! You don't even know the half of it. He may look innocent but hell is loose when he's around. He's evil incarnate I tell you! See that picture of yours shows nothing more than a boy a little younger than you with my hair and brilliant dark blue eyes but trust me, there's a demon in that boy! He's the one that gave me this." He said harshly, pointing to his left cheek, which bore a cross shaped scar.

"But that was because you were foolish! I have the better advantage! I can't be so easily fooled by looks and charms as you can. I can defeat him easily!" The blond yelled, slamming the mug of ale that he been served down onto the table and spilling some of it. "Anubis don't you understand? With your stories that you've told me about him I have the upper hand! I know what I'm challenging! Besides I need a stronger challenge other than these pathetic things they call outlaws."

"Trust me Seiji this man is more than an outlaw you`d be dealing with. I can't think of a word for him but he is more then an outlaw. Trust me on this one. He has more disguises than Rajura himself! He has a way of making you lose yourself in his beauty no matter how strong of a soul you think that you have. So if I were you, I would watch my back." Anubis quietly beamed. Scooting his chair out he got up, leaving the blond to think through on what he heard. `I just hope that he doesn't get hurt. He has so much spirit and pride within him. He might just be the one to get that blue haired boy yet... Just as long as he doesn`t lose his heart first.' He thought to himself as he walked out of the place.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

He stalked his prey, quietly walking along the ridge, waiting for the moment to strike with as little effort as he could muster. With catlike grace he hunched down and then pounced, his dagger at the ready. The man never knew what hit him as his life ebbed away through the gash that now stretched across his throat. Hands went up to touch the gaping wound as the pitiful gurgling sounds bubbled from it. Eyes were wide in shock and horror with knowledge that death eminent. Touma smiled as he tore the satchel from the man's mount and then jumped, watching the body slump forward while the steed tore over the trail at a full gallop.

"Ha! Another poor fool bites the dust!" He grinned as he counted the money that lie inside and then tied the satchel to his belt. Taking a large wide leaf, he wiped his dagger clean before placing it back in its sheath that was strapped to his forearm.

"I see some things never change." The voice caused the blue haired man to spin around, his dagger once again pulled from its resting spot, the blade catching the sun and glinting to life once more. "Whoa! Easy there Touma! I'm on your side, remember?" The auburn haired man smiled.

"You know better then to sneak up on me Shin. You could have been killed! Bakayaro!" Touma swept the man into his arms, smiling wickedly just before kissing him deeply. When Shin didn't protest he reached down and undid the sash holding his garments together letting the material fall open to expose the pale flesh that lie beneath it. "Kirei... So very beautiful." Lips trailed down over flesh that was slowly heating up.

"T-Touma... Here?" Shin asked breathlessly, shivering as cool skilled fingers began an all too familiar dance over his now exposed flesh.

"Yes here. Why should I wait when what I desire is right here?" Touma lowered him to the ground, the cool soil causing Shin to shiver even more. "You know by now how I get after a kill." He grinned while dark blue eyes were wild with desire. "Now my little one. Let's have some fun shall we?"

Shin merely nodded, knowing that when Touma was in his kill-passion frame of mind, he was better off allowing him to have his way. It wouldn't be anything but fast and furious devoid of emotional attachments. There was no love between them, just sex, for that was how Touma liked it. Love just got in the way and complicated things. True to his nature Touma didn't disappoint as all too soon he was crying out, his release filling the man below him before pulling from him and standing up to stretch out the kinks.

"Get up and get dressed. We'll set up camp just over that ridge and then head for the nearest town in the morning." Grabbing his own garments he headed down to the small creek to wash off, not even bothering to look back at his lover who was still lying there, shivering and weeping silently.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

He looked around the area that he was now in, noticing that this was the place that he had been to many times. `All right Seiji, this will be your last meal at an inn for awhile so be wise and eat as much as you'd like. You have plenty of money and even if you didn't You could always wash dishes or as in a few cases, make some sort of trade if the owner is a decent looking man! You've done it before and can always do it again.' He thought to himself, pushing the door open to reveal a busy place filled with the smell of alcohol sweat and food.

Finding a spot that was free of people, he walked over and took a seat and watched the men drinking from flasks while some flirted with the wenches that also served the meals. `That's not all that they serve either.' He chuckled to himself, knowing that the women were there in order to pleasure as well. Still it wasn't a female that he sought out... One man with black hair and bright hypnotic blue eyes caught his attention more than the other males that graced the inn. With much amusement, he watched him take the pile of yen on the table and fill his satchel, after beating several men in a complex game called 'Go.'

"How about another round boys!" He yelled, smiling to a wench that had dark blue hair. "Hey Celeste! Look how gorgeous you have gotten over the years. Care to give me another round of the fine ale that you have?"

She smiled lightly to him, speaking to him a soft feminine voice and winking. "Sure thing sweetheart. I'll be over just as soon as I help this gentleman right here." Walking over to the blond she smiled sweetly yet again. "Hello Date-san. What can I get for you today? Food or a fine looking male in tights?" She giggled softly. She was more then fully aware of Seiji's preferences for the more masculine of the two sexes.

He looked over to her, taking in the beauty that she had and thinking that if he were to take a female lover that she would be a perfect candidate even if she were spoken for. It's not like he hadn't done that before either. Sex was sex, regardless if the partner was married betrothed or courting another. "How you do remember my name so easily?" He smiled and shook his head deciding it wasn`t worth an answer. He did have quite a reputation after all and was known in many lands for it. Any one with any basic knowledge would be able to remember the name Date Seiji. "Could I have the beef pot and some rice please? I would really appreciate it."

"Why sure Date-san. I'll get it for you right away! I have to go help Sanada-san so if you will kindly excuse me." She started to walk off before he grabbed her wrist. "Is there anything else Date-san?" She batted her eyes at him, flirting with the handsome blond despite what she knew about him.

"Yes there is my beauty. The guy named Sanada-san...? Do you know anything about him?" He asked quietly. His hand reached up to brush the blond hair from his face to expose both violet eyes. A move that could make most men tremble and most women ready to do anything that he'd ask of them.

"Sanada-san is a ninja warrior and he once hung out with the outlaw Hashiba Touma but the baka left him one day and so Sanada-san has been staying here for sometime now. He is quit a swordsman in my opinion not to mention, quite handsome. Wouldn't you say?" She watched as Seiji nodded slightly. "Can I leave now Date-san?"

"Oh I'm sorry Celeste. I just got sidetracked. You can leave now and also give Sanada-san a mug of ale on me. Kudasai?"

"Hai! Sure thing Seiji!" Celeste spoke quietly before walking off to the kitchen. Seeing the ash blacked haired man, she grinned as she slapped him on the back. "HI SHU!" She giggled and tousled his hair playfully as he bent over a pot of rice.

"What? AH! Celeste! Don't do that! Jeez that just ruined my hair." Shu said, fixing his hair back in place as he watched his wife laugh at him. "What do you need koibito?"

"I just need one beef pot and rice that's all!" She yelled while pouring some ale into two mugs. "I saw the currier leave earlier have we gotten any messages?" Curious now as to what could have been left.

"Well, actually yes. Does this look familiar?" Shu said, taking out a delicate piece of parchment that held a note written in elegant blue ink with fine penmanship.

Celeste Rei Faun,

Long time no see eh? Well, don't worry, I'm coming back in just a few days. It will be just a short visit but I'll be looking forward to it. Hope you will too. Oh and also remember that I love you!

Your Loving Brother,

Touma Hashiba

PS: Tell Shu that I have a score to settle with him!

"Oh my god! He can't be coming back! He might get himself killed! What on earth is he thinking?" She said to herself, not noticing the tiger blue eyed man staring at her from the doorway of the kitchen.

"So Hashiba-san is coming back eh? Well it's about time! He needed to come see you guys. How long has it been anyways? Five years is my guess." Ryo said, surprising the lady in front of him. "Gomen nasai Celeste I didn't mean to eavesdrop but where's my ale? I need to get going or I`ll be traveling while it`s dark." His voice held an edge of bitterness to it. He hadn't forgotten how Touma had up and left him, breaking his heart in such a cold calloused manner.

"Gomen Sanada-san. You don't need to pay for this one. The blond, Date-san, seated at the table in the far corner asked to give it to you, compliments of him. I think that he wants to talk to you for some reason. Maybe he needs some of that hot stuff you have and he just knew that you would give it to him if he treated you well?" She said, laughing at the reaction she got.

Ryo grinned, turning around as he picked up his ale. "Well then I'd better go show that man how it works! I don`t come cheap you know?" Ryo walked out of the kitchen and over to the table where the blond sat, taking a seat on the bench across from him. "Thanks for the drink kind sir. Now what is it that you want? And don't tell me it was just an act of kindness. I know your kind and there's always a string attached somewhere. Nothing comes for free... Not where I come from anyway." Ryo smirked as he took a swig of his ale, wiping the excess with the back of his hand.

Seiji sat there, one blond eyebrow arching high. This one wasn't going to be an easy pushover that was for sure. Smiling to himself he simply stared into the blue eyes allowing the tension to mount. It was better this way, made the act that much more needful. Yeah he'd let him stew just a little while longer, no one was able to withstand his charms for too long and Sanada-san would find that out soon enough.
