Summary: "Li-Ling Po"- Mei-Toku returns from a night stroll changed. Li-Ling Po and Bu-Cho can't figure it out. Can they before it becomes drastic? Shounen-ai Bu-Cho/Mei-Toku some Yako/Li-Ling Po

A/N: I couldn't get this out of my head so I just had to put it down before I go crazy! I've only read up to the second book of Li-Ling Po and I don't know what happens afterwards so don't blame me for anything. It's AU from the third book on. Anyways I haven't read a Li-Ling Po fic yet. If this happens to be the first one ever written then yippie for me! Maybe not... But anyways enjoy!

Disclaimers: I don't own the characters so don't sue! Salamat!

Part 1

"No… Stop it!"

"How can you match up to me?"

"Please let me go!"

"You shouldn't let people take advantage of you like that."

The silver haired man had been paranoid before. He had the sense of someone following them, besides Yako, on their journey to find the either great treasures. Though he did wish that he kept that paranoia last night. He and Bu-Cho had gotten into another short argument on what was the right thing to do. He slapped the cold-hearted aristocrat for being uncaring. In return he'd just gotten that 'you have to beat me to show your worth' 2-sentenced speech. As always Li-Ling Po had gotten them to stop the argument and then he'd just leave.

That had been the mistake of his life…

The little thief with a blind eye wasn't one to care. But being around Bu-Cho and Mei-Toku for a while had been amusing. He'd been resting on the roof next to Yako when he heard another small argument. It'd sounded like talking but he could tell they were arguing. He let it continue for a few seconds before throwing his little rope with a sharp point at the end in between them. He told them to stop it and Mei-Toku had just left. He did notice Bu-Cho's look at Mei-Toku as he left.

Li-Ling Po really couldn't help but want to laugh. But he refrained himself because of Bu-Cho standing in the room still. He decided to go back outside to Yako. Mei-Toku just needed a little cooling down.

Perhaps he should've gone after the silver haired man…

Bu-Cho glared with his dark eyes at the wall across from him. He was leaning against the wall opposite just thinking. The aristocrat didn't like hanging around commoners. His mission required him to. He tightly clutched his sword. It was probably well past midnight and Mei-Toku hadn't returned. He just never did get it with the violet-eyed man he'd been training. They did have their big differences. He always wondered about his actions towards the violet-eyed man. He glanced out the window again for any sign of the silver hair just to make sure he wasn't dead. Mei-Toku was needed for this mission. It was only him that could keep Li-Ling Po in line even if it didn't seem like it.

Seeing no sign, he slid down to sit with one leg propped up and the other bent, lying on the ground. His sword against his shoulder. He was shutting his eyes for a while. He'll be able to tell if Mei-Toku did return or not.
