Notes: Hey. Nari here…Nao isn't home so I'm going to write this whole story…until she comes back.

Disclaimer: I don't own Marth, Roy or any other things I mention in this story that belong to other people.

Warnings: This is a YAOI story. So don't flame me saying that you weren't warned.

Two young men ran through the forest, flames of blue chasing after them. The blue haired man ran swiftly along side the red headed teen. Their swords remained unsheathed at their sides. They ran for what seemed like hours until they reached a clearing. They stopped and turned to face the enemy, swords drawn. They gasped in finding no one behind them anymore.

"Marth…where is he? I can't sense him anymore." The crimson haired boy spoke suddenly. The blue haired warrior glanced around, trying to find the aura.

"I can't find him Roy. He's gone." Marth sighed but kept himself on guard.

"Damn." Roy growled. "Now what? He could have gone back to Altea for all we know."

"I guess we'll go back and find out." Marth's voice was cold and distant. /I'll protect you Marth./

"Is something wrong? You seem…distracted." Roy looked to him with concern filling his cerulean eyes. Marth waved a hand to dismiss that thought.

"It's nothing Roy. Just old memories. You don't need to worry. But I thank you for your concern." Roy smiled and draped an arm around Marth's shoulders.

"That's what I'm here for. Now let's hurry back before Junzo causes anymore trouble." Marth smiled for the first time since the night beforehand.

"You're right." They started to walked but were frozen in place.

"Hey Junzo, what should I do with them?" A gray winged figure approached them.

"Nothing Mihori. Leave them to me." A large black creature walked to them from behind slowly. "Wait…I do need your assistance. Would you unlock some memories from our little prince?"

"Yes sir." Mihori stepped in front of the frozen Marth and placed and clawed hand upon his forehead. Both eyes were glowing a shade of light blue from the psychic intrusion.

"Stop it! Leave Marth alone! Damn you bastards!" Roy struggled against Mihori's telekinesis.

"What do you need to know master?" Mihori's probing went further until Marth fell unconscious.

"MARTH! Stop it!" Roy finally got free and threw a fist at Mihori. Mihori stumbled back and held his bruised jaw. His powers diminished and Marth fell into Roy's waiting arms.

"He is who we're looking, isn't he?" Junzo asked his minion.

"Yes master. Should I send them now?" Junzo shook his head.

"No. Give them a day to prepare. We'll come at nightfall. Farewell…" Both demons vanished into thin air. Roy listened closely to their words. He lifted Marth's unconscious form and started heading back to Altea.

Not five minutes later Marth awoke from his slumber. Roy sat on the ground in front of a large tree. He held Marth until he fully recovered.

"Are you okay?" He asked, fearing that the psychic demons telepathy could have given Marth amnesia. He sat up slowly and leaned into Roy.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Marth again put up his icy mask. Only Roy had the power to melt it and show the true Marth.

"What happened? Why are you so cold to me? Did I do something wrong?" Roy questioned him, worry apparent in his voice.

"No Roy. I'm sorry. It's just that…Mihori uncovered old memories I did not wish to see again. It's not you I'm mad at." Marth gripped to the teen with reassurance. A tear rolled down his cheek.

"What did you see?" Roy lifted his face and wiped the tear away.

"My, sister." Marth's head fell against Roy's chest.

"I didn't know you had a sister."

"I had a sister. She was older and stronger than me. But she was killed in front of my eyes when I was young. That was a night I never wanted to witness again." He broke into tears and cried into Roy. He placed his arms around him and hugged him tightly. Roy hugged him back with as much force. They stayed that way for awhile then Roy spoke up.

"Marth…they said they were coming back tomorrow at nightfall. Mihori sounded like he was going to send us somewhere. We should go home." Marth looked up at Roy with a tearstained expression.

"Yes. We should go." Roy placed a hand on Marth cheek, he leaned down and kissed him lightly. Marth kissed back but then pulled away. He stood up and then gave Roy a hand. They resumed walking towards Marth's kingdom. The walk was generally silent but it gave both a calm serenity.

About an hour later they were safe in the castle eating dinner. They ate with the lords and higher classmen of the kingdom. After recalling their tale with Marth's most trusted advisor they retired to their room for much needed sleep. Marth followed Roy to their bed but spoke suddenly,

"Roy…" Marth stopped and looked to him. Roy turned asked gazed at him confusedly. "I haven't had a chance yet, but I wanted to thank you for dealing with the demons earlier." Roy looked at him with a small smile.

"I really don't think you should thank me. I could have killed them but they got away while I was tending to you. So your thanks is quite useless." Roy said quietly. Marth stood in front of him and took his hands in his.

"That's not true. You protected me Roy. You kept me safe when I was unconscious. That means a lot to me." Marth ran his thumbs over the palms of Roy's hands. A light blush fell over Roy's child-like features.

"Whatever may happen tomorrow, I'll be at your side." Roy placed his arms around Marth's neck and kissed him passionately. Marth kissed back with just as much passion. Marth slipped his tongue into Roy's mouth and slid it over his. Roy followed Marth's example and they fell onto the bed, waiting in each others arms for tomorrows events to come.

Nari: Hehe. Guess what they did…anyway, what will happen to them? Review and you'll find out. Byes!
