Chapter 1:

It was a warm summer's morning and not to long ago the five of them were fighting to save the world form the dynasty but every battle leaves some sort of wound.

Sai tossed and turned on the couch in the living room. His body drenched in his own sweat. Sai snapped out of his nightmare, immediately sitting up and looking around franticly. His heart pounded as he tried to steady his breath.

It's just a dream that part of our lives is over there's no more Tulpa and we're all here at Mia's. Sai told him self trying to forget the dream and the memories of hanging in those cells being tortured... He had to forget it. The others had or acted like it but he still had very vivid dreams. Sai looked at the clock it was four in the morning. As Sai stood up and stretched a blanket that someone had covered him with. He yawned and slipping on a pair of shoes headed out towards the dock. I wonder if the guys have had trouble sleeping with dreams of... With another yawn Sai put the matter behind him took off his shirt, kicked off his shoes and dove into the water. He swam around for while enjoying the coolness of the water.

"Dude stop playing with the fish and come make breakfast please!" Kento Sai's best friend called from the dock.

"Hey Kento." Sai swam over to the dock and climbed out. "All right lets go in and get some breakfast." Sai smiled picking up his shirt and shoe and headed in with Kento. Sai and Kento started to race towards the house and Sai had taken an obvious led. Sai looked back at Kento as he neared the porch and ran right into Sage. Sage's glass of ice tea spilt on the two of them as they hit the ground. Sai wasn't sure how he ended up on the bottom, and Sai hoped he hadn't pulled Sage on top of him and if he did that no one noticed. Sage stood up unaffected by the others laughs and helped Sai up.

"Sorry Sage." Sai muttered as he looked down not wanting anyone to see that he was blushing. "Um I should go in and changed." Sai rushed passed Sage and went up stairs to his room, which he shared with Kento. Oh god. I hope the others don't notice how I feel. It would be a disaster if they knew. Especially if he knew. Sai sighed to him self as he gathered some towels. He needed to shower and he needed a cold shower at that. It amazed him that even little contact with him could do this to him. So what would a longer more meaningful or just friendly touch do to him. His body would give him away and the others would know so Sai had to avoid him.

"Man what up with Sai?" Kento scratched his head.

"I don't know." Ryo said plainly coming outside to talk to Kento.

"I'll go check." Sage said flatly.

"You're volunteering for this?" Kento began to tease Sage but he kept his cool untouched expression on.

"Don't get to worked up. I need to change anyway." Sage turn his back to Kento and went inside. Sage shut the door behind him and started up stairs. Sai's behavior for the passed week was very strange to all of them. Sai was supposed to be the easiest to talk to but sage just couldn't talk to Sai recently and now it seemed like Sai may need some one to talk to and this would break both their patterns of not speaking for the last few month. Even though they hadn't been talking Sage was doing small things that he was doing he wanted to be close to Sai but he just couldn't recently and he didn't know why.

"Sai you in there." Sage called as he knocked on the door.

"No I'm behind you." Sage turned around to face Sai who was standing in nothing but a towel draped around his waist. Sai was trying hard to act as normal as he could.

"I just wanted to see if you want to talk about something that might be on your mind. These others are worried about you and I know you've been having nightmares." Sage said as he let sai pass but Sai had froze when he spoke of the nightmares.

"How did you know?!" Sai didn't want the others to know a few things and his nightmares over the war and the fact he was gay were the two highest.

"Forget how I know, do you want to talk about it?" Sage asked covering sai hand on the doorknob to stop him from hiding in his room.

"Why don't you come in and I'll tell you if you promise not to tell the others." Sai sighed and Sage nodded and followed him in. "It about the war with the dynasty. I keep having the same nightmares over and over." Sai sat on the edge of his bed and Sage sat next to him but did get to close.

"What are they about. You have to be a little more specific than that." Sage said looking Sai over. Sai hair was dripping wet and his head was down.

"I... I just don't think I could tell you." Sai stuttered as a tear ran down his check. Sage sighed wiping the tear away from Sai face and pulled him close.

"You can tell me any thing and I promised that I wouldn't tell the others." Sage whispered holding Sai close. To hell with if he finds out I have to find out what's troubling him. Sage thought.

"I can't tell you believe me I want to but can't." Sai started to cry against Sage's chest and every bit of of him was in conflict. Pull away now before he finds out. Then what will you have? But what if he feels the same way. Sai thoughts battled over and over in his head. HE wanted to melt into Sage and yet he wanted to run and hide.

"Sai just tell me." Sage whispered and started to rock him slightly.

"I.... I.. You keep leaving me in my dream. You leave me with them to be..." Sai couldn't finish he broke into sobs at the horrific memories of the time he had spent lock up in Tupla's dungeon. The pain and suffering he and his friends had to endure because of the warlords. Sai pain shocked Sage. He had no idea that how deep Sai had been wounded.

"But why me? The others are there too aren't they?" Sage asked wanting to get more information from Sai. He also wanted to make sure taht he had heard Sai right that he had mattered to Sai.

"Because I love you Sage!" Sai cried harder against Sage's chest.
