A/N: I apologize profusely for the delay in updating but school happened, then life happened, then I procrastinated, then I lost interest, then school started back, and now I have inspiration again. So, here's chapter 4. It's unfortunately shorter than I typically prefer, but still.

Ah, the French Revolution. Guillotines, flags, blood, love, yaoi, and scarlet pimpernels. Such a fun time period to play with. What do you think? *hint* I just gave a clue as to the story's plot if you can catch it. *end hint*

But enough of that….

Chapter 4

When he was finally settled in bed, Fai closed his eyes and allowed himself to relax. He had just begun to feel the kinks in his body soothe away when he heard Kurogane ask somewhat hesitantly, "Why were they staring at me like that back there?"

"Hmm? Who?" Fai asked curiously.

Kurogane's eyebrow twitched. "Who do you think? You're family. You were staring at me like-"

"Like you'd grown a third eye or something?" the blonde completed helpfully.

That drew a light chuckle. "Yes, I suppose you could say that."

Fai smirked. "Oh, that's simple."

There was a beat of silence as Kurogane lowered himself onto the bed next to his lover. "Well, care to enlighten me?" he commented in a mildly annoyed voice as he crossed his arms across his chest.

Fai chuckled at the adorable expression on his lover's face. "You'll have to kiss me first," he teased.

The darker teen's lips twitched upward. "Now that I can do." He leaned down and captured the blonde's soft, supple lips in his and assaulted the smaller man's mouth. Fai whimpered and squirmed in pleasure. Then it was over and Kurogane pulled back and cocked an eyebrow in mock impatience.

Fai smiled contentedly. "They were staring because you spoke more than a couple words at a time to them. You normally don't talk at all, and when you do it's only a few words here and there. Nothing as long or as in depth as you exhibited just then."

The red eyed teen rolled his eyes. "Well, you of all people should know better than to believe that sort of thing."

Fai chuckled lightly. "Of course I don't believe it. Considering how loud you were last night, I can hardly picture you being quiet at all anymore."

That little comment earned the blonde a glare and a derisive snort. But no matter how hard the raven haired foreigner tried, he could never seem to stay angry with the blonde for long. Frustrated yes, angry no. Especially when those twin blue orbs locked on his unusual red ones that he broke. Fai was just too pretty for his own good.

He leaned down to give those enticing lips the pleasure they deserved when there was a knock on the door. Jerking up from Fai, he focused on the portal, but it was Fai who answered.

"Who is it?" he called.

"It's me, sir, Syaoron."

"Enter," Fain answered, pushing himself up to lean against the pillows as the youth entered. "What is it?"

"You've received a letter, sir. Would you like to read it now?"

Fai smiled gently at the boy. With a mop of mouse brown hair and equally brown eyes, Syaoron was a nice addition to the household has a stable-hand, friend, and sometimes butler. "No, just set it on the mantelpiece if you would."

"As you wish, sir. Is there anything else I can get you? Tea, perhaps."

"No, though I admit it is tempting. I think I'll be taking the day off. Please inform the others to not disturb me until dinner. Thank you, that will be all."

"Yes sir. Good night sir." And with that, the boy was gone.

"I really do think I'm going to sleep now, Kurgy. You were rather zealous last night," Fai said slyly, glancing at his lover with lustful eyes.

Kurogane smirked. "Well of course I was. It was your first time. I had to be sure you knew to whom you belonged Fai. And while I understand your need for sleep, I hardly think a kiss will drain you too much."

Fai chuckled. "Neither do I. Kiss away, oh Lord of Possession."

"Hn, as long as we are clear on that."

No more words were spoken. Instead, Kurogane leaned down and took possession of Fai's lips once more in a deep possessive kiss. He delved deep into Fai's mouth with his tongue, reacquainting himself with the delicacy that was Fai. His Fai.

When he deemed his lover sufficiently breathless, only then did he deign to release his hold. Brushing a few stray golden locks from his lover's brow, he turned to leave. He was tempted to stay and watch his lover sleep, but couldn't do it without creating unwanted attention. Besides, he had to meet Touya aboard the Cerberous to learn more of the new French Revolution. His sister was currently in France and he was anxiously waiting for her return. The stories he'd heard of the formerly fascinating country had become darker and gorier by the day.

He wanted his sister home where it was safe.

A/N: Well, that's all for now. It's currently 3:15 in the morning and I'm going to bed. Nighty-night. :OZZZzzzzzzz…..
