Author's note: I know that I haven't updated some stuff in a bit of time, it's just that I've been in and out of thoughts and writer's block is really kicking me in the ass. So while I've been poking around with things...and I got this after this really strange dream about Tala and a pillow I had. Don't ask...just enjoy.

----------oooooooo-------------

{The kingdom of Bakuten has remained peaceful for more than 50 years under the rule of the current Japanese ruler. The people had no worries about other countries invading because it was said that the king had the protection and power of the four sacred spirits: Dranzer the red phoenix, Dragoon the blue dragon, Driger the white tiger, and Draciel the black turtle. Over time, because of this, the people thought less and less about the possibility that they may be invaded and the arms dispersed until the people forgot completely how to fight.

Just when it seems the peace of the Bakuten kingdom will go on forever, something happens that shall set into works events leading to the lives of four young men changing. And then so will hearts.}

The light pushed its way through the curtains to strike the figure, with long blue hair, in the face. The figure turned his face from the light, curling up under the many silk sheets to gather in more warmth to fall back asleep. More light from outside pushed its way through, illuminating the sleeping figure in an aura of golden light. The figure mumbled something as he burrowed deeper under the covers.

The sound of a door opening and closing stirred him awake momentarily. Lifting his head up, he could see no one with his blurry eyes. Deciding that it was probably just a maid coming in to check to see if he was awake or not, he lowered his head back onto the feather pillows, slowly drifting back to sleep. That was until he felt the weight of the bed lower, and a pair of cold hands slipped under his nightgown. A gasp arose, feeling a warm body press against his.

The figure's eyes popped open, turning his head to where the body behind him was. Blue eyes met dark auburn eyes, shining with a burning the figure had not seen in a pair of eyes before. It was so intense that the eyes themselves were like liquid fire.

"Awake now, little prince," the figure with auburn eyes said, a smirk rising to his lips.

"P-prince Kai! What—"the other prince started.

"Don't you like this sort of wake up instead of those stupid maids," Prince Kai said, moving his hands lower to glide across the other prince's stomach.

"Stop!" the blue haired prince said, pulling away from his captor. Moving out of the bed, he stared at the prince in his bed. The dual haired prince stared at the blue eyed younger teen, the smirk on his face rising.

"Is that anyway to talk to your master?" Prince Kai inquired. "Must I keep reminding you, Prince Tyson of the Bakuten Empire of Japan, that you are now my personal servant? You have to obey my every wish. Now come here."

"No..." Prince Tyson shook his head, the memory of why he was in the Russian Empire stirring up in his mind. His eyes misted, thinking about the fields of his homeland he spent most of his childhood playing in with his younger brother. The memory of all his childhood friends, of the people he cared about and loved, his father who was still sick, and the sacrifice he made for his people came back to him once more.

"I said come to me," Prince Kai ordered.

"No! I'm not going to be your toy!" the blue-eyed prince shouted at the other. The Russian prince only stared at the Japanese prince, amused by how stubborn he was. That was why he chose this one when his father brought the two princes of the Bakuten Empire of Japan to Russia.

{Flashback}

"Prince Tyson! Prince Tyson!" one of the maids that was assigned to watch over the heir to the Bakuten throne of Japan, ran through the fields in search of her young rambunctious charge. The Bakuten kingdom was currently suffering a great panic with the emperor falling ill with pneumonia. Because of the continuous peace the kingdom's had, the armies within the kingdom dispersed, the people now in great danger of being invaded by enemy countries. She just hoped that nothing had happened to the prince.

The young maid stopped for a minute, looking around in hope that the boy was somewhere nearby. He at times had a tendency to wander off from the castle more each time she turned around. Scanning the area, she sighed with relief to find a pair of horses heading her way. On the backs of the animals was a young man with long blue hair kept in a loose ponytail and a young man with short brown hair, every now and then his eyes could be seen underneath the movement of his hair.

"Prince Tyson!" the maid shouted, waving her hands to gather his attention.

"Huh? Oh! Nanako!" The boys made their way over to the woman, stopping when they reached her side. "Nanako, is something wrong?" The blue haired teen's eyes dimmed with worry to her sudden presence out in the fields like this.

"Worry not about your father, he is fine," Nanako said, easing his fear that his father had worsened. "Where have you and your brother been?"

"We went into town to check on things there," the prince said. Worry again flooded his eyes as he stared at her. "The people are beginning to fear more of our neighbors. Rumors have been flying through town that China, Korea, and Australia are preparing soldiers to invade. I tried to calm the people's fears, but...it seems only their king will be able to ease their sour dispositions," Prince Tyson sighed.

"Which brings me to my current news. We have finally gotten hope. There is a visitor waiting to have an audience with you, my prince," Nanako said excitedly.

"Hope...in a visitor?" the prince frowned.

"Yes. The King of Russia has come upon hearing the situation of our kingdom to assist us. He is waiting to speak with you at this very moment."

"What? Really?" Prince Tyson exclaimed. Hope stirred in his heart, maybe if the people knew that they had allies, their spirits would lift and they could give his father, the king the support he needed to make a recovery.

"Yes! He says he would like to speak with you and your brother immediately. We shouldn't keep him waiting, Prince Tyson."

"All right," the prince nodded before turning his sight on the brunette on the horse who had yet to speak since the news that Nanako brought was spoken. He continued to study his brother with quiet eyes. "Come on Kenny, we must go to the palace immediately."

----------ooo----------

The soft footsteps of silk slippers could be heard on the blue marble floor as the brass doors decorated in gold with the Bakuten kingdom's four sacred guardians opened from the hallway. The two princes walked into the circular room that was used to hold audience with the king was used. Prince Tyson immediately identified the tall male with well-groomed purple hair, dressed in a heavily furred coat of maroon over dyed cloths of dark purples and browns, was the king of Russia.

Upon hearing the doors opening, he turned his steely gray eyes upon the boys dressed in traditional Japanese robes of navy blue lined with a soft pale yellow, which was on Tyson, and a pale green lined with the exact same pale yellow on Kenny. Bowing slightly to the two princes that stopped feet away from him, he awaited their words. The older prince nodded his approval.

"I am Prince Tyson, heir to the Bakuten throne. It is an honor for us to have you come from your country in order to aid our needy kingdom," Tyson said in fluent Russian, bowing respectably to the Russian king. It was customary for both boys to learn the languages of the world for such case scenarios, he was glad for once it was paying off.

"I am Prince Kenny," the brunette said, bowing also. "I also thank you for coming in our time of need."

"I am honored that you would think of my efforts as so grand," the Russian king spoke, bowing to both princes. "But I am only doing what is right. I am King Boris and I am honored to assist your great kingdom. When I heard of your situation here I immediately gather all my resources and began my trip here with over 2,000 men eager to help train soldiers and fight for your country."

"Two thousand..." Tyson replied.

"Indeed," King Boris nodded. "My health wanes much more now, telling me that at any moment I could fall ill. I would not want anything to happen to my poor country, my sons would not be as clear headed as you in such a crisis, so I have maintained an army."

"Thank you so much sire," Prince Tyson bowed once more.

"You are very much welcomed young prince. I just have one small request that I hope you do not mind fulfilling for me," King Boris said.

"What? I don't mind," Prince Tyson smiled. "Just name it, and if it's within my power I shall grant you it. It's the least I can do for your help."

King Boris let a slow smile rise to his lips with relief. "The only thing I'm asking of you if you do not mind so much, is for you and your brother to go to Russia to meet my sons. Tala, my oldest son is eighteen at the moment his younger brother Kai recently turned seventeen. I would like our kingdoms to have a strong alliances for future events."

Tyson looked over at Kenny once this was said to find the brunette biting his bottom lip, a nervous habit he often took on when he thought. Tyson shifted his eyes to the man, thinking. In the past two months since his father fell ill, Tyson had been making all of the important decisions, knowing that no one else was going to make them.

Kenny, of course was not too young for such decisions, but his very shy and indecisive nature towards things of this manner usually laid the weight down on what Tyson thought. It might be due to Tyson's nature to shelter his younger brother from the world. He knew that eventually when his brother reached the age of manhood, he would have to let go and accept that Kenny could no longer be the shy boy who would follow him around looking for guidance.

Since the age of three and four when their mother died, Tyson not only played mother for Kenny but older brother also, tending to him more than the maids. The maids often teased the young prince that if this kept up, he was going to have a younger brother complex when it came time to choose who would succeed the throne with him. Laughing always, Tyson would simply say that no one would ever be as good as Kenny to be by his side.

"King Boris," the blue haired prince finally said after turning the situation over in his head. "How long must we stay?"

"Your father is going through the last leg of illness, am I right?" the Russian king asked.

"Yes, that's correct," the prince nodded. "The doctors say that in two weeks he should be better."

"Then you shall stay until your father recovers. I also want to make sure that nothing happens to you in case countries do attack."

"I understand," Prince Tyson nodded. "King Boris, on your noble request, we shall accept your request for the sake of the Bakuten kingdom. We will go to Russia to meet your sons and form ties that will carry on through the lines of each of our thrones."

"Elder brother..." Kenny whispered nervously.

Tyson turned his eyes to his brother with a simple smile. "Everything will be fine, I know it will. It's just until father is better."

"Okay..." Kenny nodded. "I shall go too then. For our kingdom's sake."

{Flashback ends}

The prince of the Bakuten Empire did not knew that when he made the deal to come to Russia, it would be more than two weeks. As of now, time at King Boris's palace was coming upon six months. No word arrived from his homeland about his father, the king, nor the progress of the threatening invasions. Worry was filling the prince with thoughts that his kingdom, father, and people were no more. Each day he awoke, he hoped all this was a nightmare.

That one morning, he would awake to the sounds of laughter and birds. Of the maids humming cheerful melodies while attending to the daily chores. Dreamt of the sun against his face while in a field of tulips, lilacs, and daisies, staring up at the continuously morphing clouds. Each day he awoke was another day it grew harder to believe his dream would come true.

Prince Tyson wanted things to go back to the way they were. He wanted his father to be all right, the kingdom to be safe, to be back home instead of here in Russia. He didn't want to be this man's slave he refused to be. The younger of the two princes continued to glare at the older prince in his bed, staring at him expectantly.

Tyson was never going to give in to his demands. He had agreed to come to Russia to meet with him and his brother to form stable ties between the countries, but this was not part of the deal. King Boris lied to him the man never said that the treatment they received was going to be no better than a slave.

"So, you're not going to come to me, then I'll come to you." Prince Kai got up off the bed, walking over to the blue-eyed prince that back up until his back hit the cold wall. The taller teen grinned wickedly as he trapped his prey. Placing his hands on either side of the younger prince's head, he leaned down until he was nose to nose with the Japanese prince.

"What do you want from me?" Tyson whispered, a shiver rising up his spine, feeling Kai's warm breath waft the air between them, hitting Tyson's face. Kai's eyes became intense as he locked them with Tyson's wide blue ones.

"What do I want?" Kai smirked. "What do you think I want?"

"I-I-I don't know," Tyson stammered.

"You can't be that naïve, my beautiful prince. You must have noticed the way I've stared at you. How close I'm always getting. That surely has not escaped your notice, has it Tyson?" Kai said, moving his hand under Tyson's shirt again.

"Stop," Tyson whispered. The remark was ignored as Kai pressed his body closer to the shorter teen.

"What I want from you my prince is complete submission. After all, I am your master and you are my servant until I decide I have no more use for you." Kai continued to lean closer to the teen, who realized he was trapped.

-------------ooooooo----------------

Okay, I hope everyone liked my prologue. Don't worry about what happens to Tyson, that scene will be repeated in a later chapter, and everyone will find out whether or not Kai stripped him then and did hot, kinky things against the wall. If everyone likes this much, then I will update!
