Chapter One



Merrick walked silently through the moonlight, he was on his way home from a night class at the highschool. He reached the steps of the temple where he lived with his grandfather. He has just moved here two weeks ago, after his brother had killed their parents. He entered the temple and went to the bathroom and started a shower.



Merrick finished his shower, and dressed into the kimono that he was given. The silk of the kimono felt good against his soft, and newly cleaned skin, especially with the stress he had been under lately with the death of his parents, attending night school, and then tending the temple during the day time. He went out side, beginning to sweep the leaves off of the walk way.



Donovan had gone out that night, even though he knew it was dangerious, he had followed the strange, new boy he had seen with the shortly cropped golden brown hair and the large mysterious green eyes back to this temple.



'He must be new here.' he thought to himself.



He started up the steps of the temple when he saw the boy return outside, a broom in hand.



Merrick turned around, seeing the boy coming up the steps.



"Can I help you?" he asked him. Donovan looked at the other boy and smiled.



"I'm Donovan...Your new here arn't you?" Donovan now found himself hoping that his strange looking human would be a friend, everyone he had so far encountered in this world had either disowned him because of his sexual preferences and young age, or had been a foe of the world that he was beginning to think he would never see again. Merrick smiled, and it seemed the first time he had done so in weeks.



"I'm Merrick...And yes I am new here, I moved here only two weeks ago." Donovan held out his hand to Merrick, and unsurely the older boy took hold of it, shaking his hand lightly.



"Your not supposed to be out this late are you?" Merrick asked with a slight wink of his right eye.



Donovan hopped up onto one of the railings that lined the inside and outside of the staircase they both stood on and spun around slowly.



"Your right, I'm not..." he answered him. Merrick watched Donovan spinning and then looked away, becoming dizzy just by watching this strange boy.



"Arn't you getting dizzy by doing that?" he asked slowly.



"No....Not really." Donovan answered with the same amount of playfulness in his tone that any young child would have, and most of the time loose by the time they reached seven or eight years old.



Donovan hopped down off of the railing just moments later and started off down the stairs. Merrick looked after the young boy and then ran to catch up with him, letting his broom drop and hit the cold cement of the steps.



"Hey, waite where are you going?" Donovan stopped and waited for Merrick to catch up.



"No where really..." he answered. Merrick raised his eyebrow as he came to a stop beside him, looking down to Donovan. This boy surely was strange. "Have you ever just walked without no where to really go, but just walked to enjoy it?" Donovan looked up at Merrick as they started off down the street together.



"No, I've never really had time to do that."

Drake woke up and reached over and felt around for Donovan's small warm body. It wasn't there. He sat up and looked around, then got up and dressed.



'Donovan knows its dangerious for him to go out alone.' he thought to himself. He couldn't really blame him though. Donovan loved nature just ask much as he did. To expect him to stay indoors even if there were creatures out there just waiting for the chance to tear his heart out and, offer it to their dark rulers was beyond reason.



"Now, where would I go if I were a nature loving little warrior?" he asked himself out loud. "Right, the park..." He walked through the doors of the appartment building.



Donovan and Merrick walked silently through the park, Donovan listened to the sounds of the park along with the mingling sound of the occasional cars. They had turned off onto on of the lesser taken paths, and now sat on a bench, talking with one another.



Drake had turned down the same trail that Donovan and Merrick had taken only an hour before, soon coming across the young warrior sitting with a boy who looked to be a preist-in-training of some sort. Donovan looked over at Drake, and then ran over to him, his small arms flying up around his lover's neck.



"Donovan, you know your not supposed to be out...its dangerious." Drake cooed into the boy's tangerean colored hair.



"I'm sorry if I worried you." Donovan answered. Drake then looked up at the othr boy, almost as if he had committed some sort of violent crime.



"Drake this is my friend Merrick." Donovan said leaning back from their embrace. Merrick lifted his fingers in a slight wave.



Drake turned with Donovan, motioning for the other boy to follow as he placed his jacket around Donovan protectively.



"I don't want anyone getting an eyeful of your charms." he said calmly and smiled down at Donovan. Donovan looked up at Drake.



"We should goto my house and get some clothes, there is school tomorrow and all." They turned down the street leaving the park and headed towards Donovan's parent's mansion.
