"Hey Kei! Look at this one!" Akihito held up a pink charm with white hearts and red lettering. "It's a charm for pure, true and passionate love. You should get one Kei! Maybe it will help you find your soulmate and you won't be so serious all the time and you'll stop being such a sourpuss."

"I am NOT a sourpuss! I know how to have fun. If anyone needs a love charm it's you, Akihito. You have been yearning for that tall, dark, and handsome hero of yours yet you do not even know his name. He has barely even talked to you." Akihito crossed his arms and pouted causing Kei to chuckle at him. "Now who is the sourpuss?"

"Did you two find what you were looking for alright?" Akihito and Kei turned to face a young teen boy by the name of Kuroda Shinji. The boy was only a year older than them. He was the son of the family taking care of the temple and went to an all boys school. He and Kei had known each other since they were little kids.

"Yes Shinji. Thank you." Akihito purchased the love charm that he was holding and attached it to his shirt, right over his heart.


*Asami & Akihito*


"Did you hear, another temple was attacked last night."

"What?! Why would anyone do such a horribale thing?"

Akihito and Kei shared a look. There had been many stories going around lately about temples being attacked and people having been injured or even going missing. So far, these stories had remained just rumors as the news and police had not come forward with such information.

"There really are a lot of rumors going around lately. Do you think it's true?"

"I do not know. It is worth looking into though." Kei sighed. "Tao is out looking for the other soldiers and Mitarai is worthless. So it is up to just you and me. Let us go to your house after school."


*Asami & Akihito*


Akihito burst into the house with all the finesse of a tap dancing elephant in a china shop. "Tadaima! Ma I brought Kei!"

"Okaeri. Hello Kei. It's so nice to see you again! I'm so glad that my little Akihito has a friend like you. Your such a good boy. I'm sure my Akihito can learn so much from you." Akihito's mother cooed.

"Mom!" Akihito shrieked.

"Oh don't worry baby. Mommy loves you just the way you are." She wrapped her arms around the young blond and held him tightly to her bosom. Akihito flushed a deep red and struggled to escape from having his face smooshed into her breasts. His mother laughed and kissed the top of his blond head. When she let him go, Akihito raced up to his room and slammed the door shut behind him. Kei and Akihito's mother shared a laugh before Kei made his way to his friend's room.


*Asami & Akihito*


Hours upon hours and still they had nothing. There were no records anywhere that indicated that temples had been attacked. There were a lot of people who had gone missing but none of them had disappeared from or near a temple. Akihito leaned back with a sigh and he rubbed his throbbing head. "I guess this means they were just rumors after all."

"I still think that we should continue to investigate." Kei said.

"Why? It's obvious that there is nothing here."

"That is exactly why I think that we should continue to investigate." Kei pointed a finger at Akihito. "It is odd that there are rumors yet there is no evidence to support them. Most, if not all, rumors are based off of some kind of truth. There are not even the usual complaints. No police reports about trespassers. No hospital records of someone being hurt."

Akihito shrugged. "They're temples Kei! There shouldn't be any kind of that stuff going on!"

Kei just rose a brow at his naïve friend's words before speaking again. "Shinji believes that the rumors are true. Shinji told me about a break in at their temple just the other day. When he called for help, not a single officer came."


*Asami & Akihito*


"What is the matter Akihito?" Kei raised a brow. He and Akihito had spent many hours the night before looking for answers in the news and police records. In the end, they found nothing. As such, they decided that tonight they would check out Shinji's temple in the hopes they could learn even just a little bit about the temple attacks and the missing people. But instead of doing that, Akihito was complaning about his outfit.

"How come your outfit is less revealing than mine?! I mean just look! You get that nice dress shirt and blazer. Your skirt falls below your knees! AND IT'S BLUE! NOT PINK!"

"I don't know the answer Akihito. I'm just glad that my boots are both cute and functional. Unlike those pink stilettos you have on. Akihito what are you doing?!" The blond had grabbed a hold of the Kei's skirt and lifted it.

"Are those boxers?! Why do you get boy undies when I get girly ones?!"

Before Kei could reply, a scream filled the air. The two boys raced up the temple stairs. When they reached the top, they found a gigantic hideous monstrousity pinning poor Shinji to the ground. It was trying to draw energy from the teen but a glowing red orb was suronding the boy and prevented the hideous thing from succeding.

Akihito and Kei attacked the monster, both landing blow after blow upon the monstrousity. Akihito jumped back, keeping the thing's eyes on him as Kei summoned his Mercury Mist to freeze the thing in place. Akihito threw his tiara but it simply bounced off the thing's chest. It gave them a menacing smile. Akihito was tossed off to the side. The monster grabbed Kei and repeatedly bashed his head into the ground. Once Kei was unconscious, the monster threw him off to the side.

Akihito stood up and prepared to battle but he didn't prepare for his clothes being ripped from his body. The monster trailed a hand down his body to the little band of fabric that kept the lacy pink thong in place. "Did you wear this for me? You shouldn't have." He licked the boy's neck. "Mmmm… you taste so good. I'll be sure to bring you home with me."

White flames engulfed the monster as Shinji approached it from behind. The monster screamed as it's flesh melted from the intense heat of the white flames. It dropped Akihito and fell to the ground where it began to roll around, trying to put the flames out. Much to the monster's dismay, only more flames ignigted around it. Akihito looked up at the newest soldier to join their ranks. Shinji was dressed in a red silk dress, his hair flying about his head. A howling wind blew past and Shinji was knocked off his feet. The flames consuming the monster went out and Akihito could see that the thing was still alive.

A man of average height with messy dark hair, glasses, an ugly gotee and far too much body hair floated above the monster's body. "So you are the ones who have been interfering with our plans."

"Who are you?"

The man turned to look squarely at Akihito. His eyes took in Akihito's undressed state. "I'm Sakazaki but you may call me master." He grinned a sleazy smile. He moved closer to Akihito and scooped the boy into his arms. "We'll have so much fun together." Two shots rang out and Sakazaki grunted. His grip loosened on Akihito and the boy fell towards the ground.

Just before the young blond hit the ground, he was caught by strong arms and pressed tightly against a muscular chest. He looked up and his beautiful hazel eyes met with an intense golden. Without breaking eye contact, the man spoke to Sakazaki. "You should know that I don't like anyone touching what's mine." He fired two shots. One at the monster, putting it out of it's misery and one at Sakazaki. The bastarad named Sakazaki disappeared into a swirling vortex. "Are you alright my little Kitten?"

Akihito shivered as his hero's voice sent pleasurable tingles down his spine. Akihito nodded and pressed himself closer to his rescurer's strong, warm body. A finger tilted his chin up and then Akihito's handsome hero was crushing their lips together in a devouring, passinonate kiss.

A hand cupped him between his legs and Akihito moaned. "Soon little Kitten but not right now." He set Akihito gently down and wrapped his jacket around Akihito's small shoulders. The golden eyed man picked up the four bullets that he had fired at Sakazaki and placed them in Akihito's hands. "Four more for your collection." He placed a soft kiss on Akihito's cupped hands.

His rescurer began to walk away but stopped when Akihito's small hand tugged on his shirt sleave. "What's your name? It is only fair of you to tell me since you just stole my very first kiss from me."

The man smirked then reached out to cup Akihito's cheek. "Asami. You can call me Asami. For now, my sweet little Kitten."
