Chapter 9

L7Continued from before........L7

Emerald eyes blinked in surprise.

"Duo?"

Brght amethyset eyes widened and a large grin made its way across his lovely face.

"Yohji it's great to see ya! Where've ya been? What are you doing here? Did you come by for a visit? Does Heero know you're here.....Heero!! Oh quick hide me Yohji!" Duo yelled in one long breath before ducking behind Yohji in between him and Aya.

"Ah Duo what are you doing?" yelped Yohji as Duo hid behing him.

"ssshhhh.....he'll hear ya." Duo whispered pressing a long slender finger against Yohjis lips.

Aya just blinked a few times watching Yohji interact with Lord Duo wondering how they knew each other. He was about to say something when Lord Heero Yuy came storming out of the castle's back door.

All three hushed at once when Lord Heero started scanning the area for his lover. When he didn't find him Heero went back in slamming the large door behind him.

All three let out the breathes they didn't know they were holding. When all seemed safe again Aya glanced back at Yohji and caught a pained expression on his handsome face before he placed his mask of calm coolness back on.

Aya kept watching Yohji, worry clearly eating at him. Yohji looked at Aya and briefly smiled at him. Duo was oblivious at what was going on.

Yohji had to control his breathing. It was just his luck that just as Heero came barging out his disease decided to remind him that it was time for another dose of the good ol' docs medicine and it was damned hungry.

"so ya wanna tell me why you're here hiding in this crappy weather or am I gonna have to dig it from ya?" Duo smiled slapping Yohji on the back.

Yohji winced from the force of the slap. It wasn't that Duo hit him hard it just hurt to move right now.

Seeing Yohji wince from pain set Aya into motion, immediately he hunched in front of Yohji and wrapped him in his arms trying to comfort him while he got his breathing under control. Yohji's breathing was shallow and he was trembling both from pain and the cold.

Duo watched his friend shaking uncontrollably in Ayas arms. He hadn't realized Aya was there in all honesty untill Aya almost shoved him aside to get to Yohji.

Aya continued to cradle Yohji in his arms until the blond man was under control of himself again. Once he felt the trembling stop he pulled away and looked at the face of his lover for any signs of pain. Yohji was pale, his face waxen colored and wet from both the rain and his tears from a moment ago's breakdown. Smiling down at his lover Aya leaned in and pressed his lips against Yohji's. The warm mouth puling him in little by little until tongues were clashing and he heard a moan in the far off distance. He kept kissing Yohji all the while roaming his hands all over the blonds chest, brushing his hand up against a stiff nipple covered by wet cloth making it a little more sensitive. Another moan could be heard in the distance but he ignored it, all he cared about right now was the fiery passion shooting up his spine and down to his groin.

Aya set his knees down on the mud and pulled Yohji more closely to him, Yohji's arms wrapped around Ayas shoulders and back as he was pulled in close. Aya finally broke away from Yohji only from lack of air and continued to kiss along a honey colored neck down to the base. He gently lowered Yohji to lie down on the mud with him above. He leaned down again for another kiss this one more steamy than the last. Kisses along the slim column of neck while pale fingers opened the front of Yohji's shirt. The body beneath arched up into his touch making him more anxious to get to the root of the situation. Just as Aya got one hand under Yohji's clothes the sound of someone clearing their throat brought back his senses and he broke away from Yohji and raised his violet eyes only to meet an amused set of amethyest ones.

"wow" was all Duo said as Aya immediately backed away from Yohji and lowered his head in recongnition of someone of higher status present before him thoroughly hiding his beet red face. Yohji sighed as he sat up he glanced at Aya and frowned before reaching out and tilting the beautiful face of his red haired lover.

"What have I told you about lowering your head" Yohji scolded.

Aya looked scared and confused. "But Yohji....." Aya quickly looked at Duo and then lowered his eyes again.

Yohji snorted. He turned the chin in his hand to face him and spoke quietly but firmly.

"Never lower your head, it gives someone the right to treat you like dirt, you never have to lower your head again from now one Aya." Yohji said in all seriousness.

Aya looked more confused.

Duo looked at Yohji than to Aya than back to Yohji before something clicked and he smiled brightly.
"Oh I get it you're takin him as your partner right Yohji." Duo proclaimed enthusiastically.

Yohji released Ayas chin and turned to face Duo. He nodded.

"WOW! That's sooooo cool! Congratulations Yohji, Aya." Duo jumped into Yohji's arms for a quick hug and then jumped into Aya's unexpected arms and hugged him excitedly.

"That's great Yohji, Heero and I were wondering when you were gonna stop mourning Asuka's death, you know you mourned a long time and though it's good to mourn for someone you care about ya did it for far too long and it's not healthy to mourn for so long and you know Asuka wouldn't have wanted you to mourn for her for so long. She used to say "Yohji when you....hmmpf"

Duo's chattering was silenced by the simple act of placing his hand over Duo's mouth until the incessant noise ended. Or so he was taught by Heero. Sure enough the noise ceased and he released Duo's mouth.

"Jeez did you and Heero get togther and conspire against me or what?" Duo asked mocked pouting.

"That's exactly what we did, now before anything else happens I need you to do me a favor Duo."
Yohji asked.

"Sure what do you need?" Duo asked happily.

"Don't tell Heero I'm here or about me and Aya please. I plan to tell him just not now, I had initially planned to tell Eiri first than you guys but you stumbled upon us."

"Oh sorry about that" Duo apologized glumly "didn't mean to ruin things for ya."

"oh no no no Duo that's okay dont' worry about it, in fact I'm glad you stumbled upon us first."
Yohji smiled.

"You mean it?"

"Yeah I mean it Duo, you finding us first and getting all this off my chest kind of helped prepare me for when I tell my brother. You know how he is."

Duo smiled "yeah, you're right, Eiri sure can be scary sometimes but at least he's not as bad as he used to be before he met Shindoukun."

"You're right Shuichi helped out very much in Eiri's behaviour and his happiness is written all across his face. Any way promise me you won't tell Heero." Yohji asked.

Duo smiled and winked "promise, now about you two wanna tell me how all this started?" Duo asked turning to face Aya who was in the process of trying to clean himself off.

Aya opened his mouth and shut it quickly, trying to figure what to say.

"Aya here is part of the Takatori Theathre Troupe, I started travelling with them after I saved their youngest member from drowning. Aya and I just got closer over time and we finally laid ourselves bare just a little while ago, right before you found us." Yohji answered looking fondly at Aya who started turning red again.

"Oh so it's offical right? I mean Ayas going to inherit the rights to Balineses Manor the way that I inherited the rights to Heero's Wing Castle? Right?"

Aya stiffened at the name 'Balinese' that can't be right, can it? Yohji can't be associated with the name Balinese can he? One glance at Yohjis face explained everything.

Yohji cursed himeself mentally when Duo blurted out Balineses Manor, stupid! How could he forget Duo's blunt mannor and ability to blurt out things before thinking. Looking at Ayas fear stricken face let him know that Aya most probably wasn't okay with this.

damn!!

"Aya please allow me to explain-" Yohji began but was cut off when Aya abruptly stood up.
"I-I'm sorry I forgot that I was supposed to help Farfarello set up the stage for tonight...I'm sure I can still help if I-I leave now..." Aya muttered almost too fast for Yohji or Duo to undestand.

"Aya wait..." Yohji stood up but Aya immediately took off with a simple bow to Duo and Yohji, he sped towards the back door and out of sight.

"Damn!" Yohji swore loudly.

"Did-did I say something wrong Yohji?" Duo asked worridly, large amethyst eyes puppying Yohji.

"No you didn't do anything wrong Duo. It's my fault for not mentioning it earlier." Yohji soothed his friend.

"I just..." Yohi looked back towards the door. "I just hope...he's willing to undertand" Yohji whispered out. He looked over at Duo's gloomy face and decided to change the subject.

"So you want to tell me why you're hiding from Heero?" Yohji asked curiously.

"Oh that...well..um.." Duo sputtered. He looks so cute when he stutters nervously.

"Well Heero has been..how should I put this...um..horny lately" Duo rambled out.

Yohji nearly choked on his own air.

"W-What?"
"Well you see it started out with this package of herbal tea that my brother Zechs shipped to us a week ago. He's been in China for over a month now, he's been on his honeymoon with his new wife Lucrezia, anyway he's been sending me and Heero some interesting stuff from China."

Yohji raised a brow in suspicion, "What kind of stuff?" he asked.
Duo smirked smugly, "You know Zechs. You know what kind of stuff interests him."
"That's why i'm asking." Yohji grinned back.

"Well last time it was a whole shipment of chinese body oil, real slippery stuff great for...um..you know." Duo blushed.

Yohji laughed, "I get it, so what's this new stuff he sent you?"

"Oh that, well it was a whole shipment of herbal tea. I thought it was kind of weird that Zechs would send me tea, when he know I really don't like tea too much, more of a coffe person myself unless of course it's Rashid's tea then I'll drink loads of it but-"

"Duo get to the point please" Yohji asked removing his hand from Duo's mouth, completely ignoring Duo's glare.

"Gee I really need to talk to Heero about that" Duo mumbled.

"Duo"
"Alright, well Zechs sent us the shipment last week and since I really don't like tea all that much I let Heero have it. He had about three cups before I found a note that had slipped out of the package. When I read it I snatched the tea from Heero but it was already too late. He was leering at me and pounced on me before I even got the chance to explain why I took the cup from him." Duo shook his head in rememberance.

"What did the note say?" Yohji asked

"The note said and I quote, "Dear little brother of mine, I was passing through Beijing when I stumbled upon this quaint little shop selling some of the most interesting helpful little items. I remember you telling me about Heero and his controlled libido. I feel for you my baby brother and so I purchased this exquisite herbal tea, with it the answers to your problems. Love Zechs, P.S. Drink cautiously, one cup equals one dose, one dose will have lasting effects for up to two weeks. Also don't forget to use the oil I sent you last week. Enjoy!"

Yohji gaped at Duo wide eyed and fish mouthing the whole time.

"O-One cup equals one dose for two weeks?" he asked unbelievably

Duo nodded, "Yup and Heero drank three cups before I stopped him."

Yohji examined Duo closely, "So how did it go?"

"I couldn't get out of bed for two whole days!" Duo shouted waving his hands around.

"He left you that sore?"

"NO, he literally wouldn't let me out of bed! Everytime I tried to get up he was immediately ontop of me and going at it again."

"So how did you...?"
"I clocked him one and left him sleeping for a while. I managed to hide the tea ever since but still...it's like he can't get enough I tell ya!"

Yohji laughed again shaking his head, "I can't believe Heero of all people...it's too funny I'm sorry Duo but you know it is."

Duo smiled warmly, "I know"

"Just one question for you" Yohji stopped laughing and became serious.

"What's that?"

"Do you have any more of that chinese body oil with you?"

(two hours later)

Everyone one from staff to it's owners of Wing Castle shuffled themselves into the decorated lot set up to host the events of that evening. Chairs were set out in rows, a large european love sofa was set up to the front. The large seat decorated with blood red rose print and taffeta cloth was to be the seat for Lord Heero and Lord Duo. Everyone was excited about the performance.

Backstage everyone was frantic about the performance. Manx couldn't decide what song to sing, Omi couldn't find his darts, Ouka couldn't get her hair right and Aya was nowhere to be found. Thus the cause behind the chaos.

"Where is Aya I need him! Oh dear help me choose a song will you." Manx ran over to Yohji startling the blond.

Yohji picked up the sheets of paper and randomly picked a song without really looking at it. He handed the selected sheet over to the exhasperated redhead.

Manx looked at the sheet and frowned. "No I'm afraid this will simply not do. Ouka dear help me choose a song will you?" Manx walked away.

Well if she didn't like his selection she shouldn't have asked him. Yohji thought tiredly.

He searched the backstage and found no trace of a certain redhead. He scowled Aya had been avoiding him for two hours now and the show was about to begin. He and Aya had a show scheduled and he needed to plan out their moves.

Yohji sighed, running his hand throuhg his hair in a tiredly fashion. His hand dropped to his side and swung loosly. He needed to find Aya.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for your appearence and hospitality. Tonight we will treat you all to a spectacular show of various talents performed by our very talented crew of well versed actors." Shuichi bowed. Everyone clapped enthusiatically, especially a braided lord up front.

"And now without further ado, I give you the first event of the evening my lovely daughter Ouka, my beautiful wife Manx and my very talented apprentice Quatre will now perform a lovely ballad of 'Canta per mi'" The audience applaused and Shuichi bowed and exited.

Manx stepped onto the stage followed by Ouka and Quatre carrying his violin. Quatre rested his violin on this shoulder and began playing a melody. Ouka stood to the lower right of her mother and waited for the signal when the older woman was ready to begin.

Manx closed her eyes and pictured the words to the foreign song. The words were in Italian and so she had to study them to be able to pronounce them properly. It is a very difficult but beautiful song.

Manx began.

'canta per me ne addio
quel dolce suono
de' passati giorni
mi sempre rammenta'

Ouka began backup.

'la vita dell'amore
dilette del cor mio
o felice, tu anima mia
canta addagio...'

tempra la cetra e canta
il inno di morte
a noi si schiude il ciel
volano al raggio

la vita dell'amore
dilette del cor mio
o felice, tu anima mia
canta addio...'

Quatre ended the song with a flick of his wrist. The audience stood and applauded the performers as they bowed and gracefully left the stage.

"Manx my love that was absolutely wonderful!" Shuichi embraced his wife and kissed her passionately. "But don't you think that was a sad song to sing?"

"My love with a voice like mine nothing is too sad to sing." Manx winked. Shuichi chuckled.

L7.................

Meanwhile behind the curtain a very pale Yohji stared at the performers as they sang on stage. The song was like a very real slap to the face. Many people might not understand the meaning behind those lyrics. It was in Italian after all and very few could speak anything but Japanese, but being brought up in a rich family where overseas trade was essential to business Italian as well as English and Dutch was a necessity to learn. So yes he understood those lyrics very well indeed.

L77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777L

"I shouldn't have left like that." Aya castigated himself. He was walking down the corridors of Wing Castle. No fear of getting caught tresspassing seeing as how all the staff memebers are currently watching the performance.

With his head tucked down, dragging his heels Aya solemnly walked down the empty corridors of the stone castle. His arms tucked into the sleeves of his shirt,(think Kenshin from RK), with only his thoughts as company Aya thought about Yohji's proposition. 'Lord Balinese' Aya thought, 'Balinese Manor' he thought again, 'and he wants to make me his partner' he thought to himself. 'Does he really love me that much? Would he really take a commoner as his partner? His lover? What about his brother?' With that Aya stopped in his tracks. His eyes hazed with negative thoughts of what Yohji's brother would do to him and Yohji if he found out. Dosen't matter he wasn't going to take the prosposition, there's no reason to accept such an extreme proposal like that except...except that Yohji wanted him to.

Aya's brow furrowed as thought about that. He could accept and become Yohji's lover, he could deal with an angry brother and he could deal with being away from his family. It was going to be for a short while anyway until after Yohji di..dies..Aya exhaled slowly. Yohji did have only a few more weeks to live and after that he would be gone for good.

Forever

Aya's brow trembled, his bottom lip quivered with an aching release. He closed his eyes tight just to have a few tears squeeze out and slip down his fine cheeks. WHY? Why does it have to be this way? The one person who broke past his icy facade and saw the true him for what he is, the one person who he lo-likes almost as much as he loves his family, maybe even a litte more than his family, and the one person who understands him is the one who is going to die.

It's not fair

Applause snapped him from his wonderings and he noticed that he had walked back to the performance lot. He was supposed to do a duel battle with Yohji tonight. Aya walked down the corridor and reached the side door of the room. Onstage he could see his father bowing and his mother coming onstage with his sister and Omi's best friend Quatre. The ballad began and his mother and sister started to sing. He recognized the song as 'Canta per mi' and he listened to the words. Aya's heart sank as he listened to the sad song of farewell.

Turning around Aya walked further down the corridor and made a left. He entered his designated living quater and searched his clothing chest for his sword. He found the old katana, used but still good he thought. He placed the sword down beside him gently and began searching for another sword, he found it and pulled it out and set it down next to his. He closed the chest and grabbing both katanas he stood up gracefully and left the room, swords craddled in his arms.

Life isn't fair but like Yohji told him one night as they cuddled together, 'Nothing short of death is going to stop me from doing what I want to do now, I only have a little while left and I want to make the best of it.'

So he, Aya Takatori was going to make the best of it he could. If Yohji wanted to have a sword duel, than Aya would fetch the swords. If Yohji wanted to see his brother one last time, then Aya will pack up two horses for the trip. And If Yohji wanted someone to love him as he breathes his last breathe, than Aya was going to sit by the bed and hold his hand watching as those beautiful emerald eyes closed for the last time.

So be it.

L777777777777777777777777777777777777777L

The next performance was Omi and Sakura. Omi was tossing darts and nailing the apples that Sakura had placed on her head. The crowd was cheering enthusiastically everytime he nailed the apple and not Sakura's head. Most of the performers were doing their shows together, Omi and Sakura, Manx, Ouka and Quatre, even Shuichi was performing onstage with Farfarello doing a little skit of 'Darby O'Gill and the Little People' an old Irish tale Farfarello likes so much.

Aya and Yohji were scheduled to go last because their performance was to be the pinnicle of the show, the finale for the evening. But no one had seen either of the two boys since late afternoon. If they didn't show up soon they may have to cancel out the last perfromance and then the show wouldn't really be worth watching if it didn't have it's grand finale.

This is why the frustrated redhaired woman was currently trying to yank said red hair from her head.

"Darn those two boys were the hell are they? If they don't show up before the end of the show they'll know what a beast looks like when they see me coming!" Manx shouted angrily

"Mother please calm down! You know Aya is not irresponsible like this and you now Yohisan is not irresponsible either, something must have happened to them." Ouka said nervously, rubbing her arm soothingly.

Manx calmed slightly, "I know dear but it's just not like your brother to be this late for something he know is very important to us."

"Perhaps they're just practicing somewhere, getting their moves down so that the fight looks more realistic." Omi said from behind Ouka.

"I'm pretty sure I saw Yohjisan standing behind the curtain when we left the stage earlier. He seemed a little off and I didn't see Aya anywhere. Maybe if we split up and search we'll find them both before the show is over." Quatre reasoned out.

Everyone nodded their heads and split up in different directions.

L77777777777777777777777777777777777L

'Where is he?' Aya searched the halls of the castle looking for Yohji, he spotted him leaving the backstage just as Aya showed up with the katanas. He called out to Yohji but Yohji continued walking on oblivious to Aya's calls.

Aya continued walking and turned a corner where he spotted Yohji leaning against the wall puffing on that little white stick again.

"Yohji!" Aya called out getting the older mans attention, he strode over to him and stood before him still holding both katanas.

Yohji exhaled the smoke and looked at Aya holding two katatanas. He smiled interanlly, 'maybe things will work out afterall' he thought.

"Aya" Yohji started, "I didn't think you were still interested in duelling me today" he admitted.
Aya shifted the swords to one arm and with his free hand raised it to Yohji's face and lifted the honey tanned chin to let emerald eyes meet violet ones.

"I promise Yohji that I will never do aything that stupid again." Aya said firmly his gaze never wavering from Yohji's.

Yohji startled by Aya's seriousness nodded with his chin still in Aya's pale hand.

"Good now that this is settled lets go give everyone a good show." Aya turned around and began heading back to the stage lot.

"Aya wait! We don't even have a routine planned out, how are we to duel?" Yohji asked alarmed by the redheads impulsiveness.

Aya turned his head over his shoulder and smirked. "We'll improvise of course" he said, "Come on Yohji where is you sense of adventure." Aya chuckled at Yohji astonished face and marched on ahead.

"What's with all the tough 'let's go show them what we got' attitude, not that i'm complaining mind you." Yohji asked as he caught up to Aya.

"I just realized that there's something more important to me than my own problems right now. I figure that if I want things to go smoothly than i'll have to set aside any qualms I may have and go with it."

"What on earth are you talking about Aya?" Yohji stared in bewilderment.

Aya stopped walking and faced Yohji, "I made a decision Yohji. I've decided that I want to be your partner. Even if you are the Lord of Balinese Manor that doesn't change the fact that I still love you and I wnat to be with you."

Aya raised his hand and caressed Yohji's cheek, "I love you Yohji and I want to be with you, but more importantly I want to make your last days the best that I can. I feel bad that-"

Yohji slapped Aya's hand away and glared at the redhead. "I don't want your pity Aya. If this is what it's all about then forget it. I don't want it and I don't need it." Yohji hissed.

Aya stunned by Yohji's slap stared at the fury within those emerald eyes. He could clearly see pain and anger glaring at him.

"That's not what I meant Yohji, I'm sorry if that's what it sounded like but you have to believe me that I would never do such a thing to you. And I meant it when I said I love you." Aya whispered. "I love you Yohji, I really do and I don't know how it happened but i'm glad it did. I've only known you for a short time but it feels like i've known you for years. You're all I think about anymore, I dream about you, I-" Aya blushed. "I have certain..dreams about you that leave me aching for your touch and your kiss. I...I can't picture myself without you Yohji. I want to be there for you when the time comes. And I know that i'm not the one who's sick and suffering but believe me when I tell you that watching you suffer and get worse everyday is hurting me. And when that time comes...watching you die will kill me." Aya said softly, emotions pouring out into his words.

Yohji couldn't respond. Seconds passed by like minutes and still he didn't know what to say.

Aya lowered his head and waited for Yohji to respond. His heart pounding resoundly in his ears louder as the seconds passed by with no answer. Clutching the swords tighter making his knuckles white Aya turned away from Yohji.

"I'm sorry that probably wasn't what you wanted to hear from me, please just pretend I didn't say anything-"

Yohji snapped out of his thoughts as Aya was about to walk away from him. He quickly grabbed ahold of Aya's shirt cloth and pulled the red head to his arms. Embracing the startled red head Yohji hugged him tightly making Aya drop the swords. They fell with a metal clamour that echoed throughout the halls.

"I'm sorry Aya, I just..I didn't know what to say. And you didn't say anything wrong in fact...that was exactly what I wanted to hear from you. Not the killing you part of course but the I love you part. I love you too Aya, I love you more than anything and I want to be with you too. I'm sorry I yelled at you and accused you of pitying me...it just hurt...the thought of you doing anything for me because you fell sorry for me is just...I don't want to think about it."

Aya pulled himself to Yohji's armlength and leaned forward. Yohji leaned forward and caught soft lips against his. Aya's tongue traced Yohji's plump bottom lip, Yohji parted his lips and let Aya slip his tongue in. Each tasting each other with closed eyes and moans coming from deep within their hearts.

Air separated them and each took a deep breath staring into each others eyes.

"Let's go show them what we got huh Aya?" Yohji breathed out still embracing Aya.

Aya smiled, "let's" he said. They separated and Aya picked up the swords from where he dropped them. Yohji took Aya's hand in his and together they walked towards the stage room. Hand in hand.

Neither of them saw the little blond boy peeking from behind the corner watching them with intense blue eyes. He watched both men walk away. As soon as they were out of sight Omi leaned his back against the wall and shuttered.

'well I found them' he thought. Clenching his fist tightly he recalled what Aya had said. He'd been there listening to the whole thing, 'I won't let you get hurt Aya, you've been hurt too many times already. I'll find a way to make you happy. And Yohjisan too. I promise you.'

tsuzuku...

Gomenasai! Minnasan! I'm soooooooooooooooo sorry it took soooo long to get this last chap. out. I got a little sidetracked and I'm sorry, please don't kill me! (bows and kneels surrepitiously)

In case of those of you who have not seen the anime 'Noir' the song 'Canta per mi' comes from it. And for those who don't speak Italian or is it Latin? I'm not really sure. This is the translation of the song.
Oh and i promise the sword scene is in the next chapter which I'v already began writing so look out for that one coming out soon.
thanx
