Wow I actually made a chapter short on purpose, thats kinda scary. OH WELL Enjoy everyone! This is all told from Tezuka's memory while he's lying up against the tree that Fuji is painting him underneith!

"Gomen, Echizen-san, I didn't mean to anger you to such a degree." Tezuka kneeled down in front of an infuriated Echizen Ryoma.

"Well you have! Honestly Tezuka, you've fallen for that…that…HUMAN!" Echizen barked.

"Technically he isn't a human anymore." Echizen's eyes widened with disgust and hatred. He had been betrayed by his Tezuka. The simple boy who he had swooned so long ago was now being taken from him by a mere…human.

"What is that supposed to mean Tezuka?"

"I changed him the other night."

"Oh really, well then how was it Tezuka? Hmm, was his blood sweet?" Echizen's voice was laced with malicious intent of harming Tezuka. The brown haired only kept his eyes low, wishing that he hadn't just said that. It was a careless mistake, 'so much for yudan sezu ni ikou. I might as well lay it all out there then, since I've said this much.'

"Truthfully, it was Echizen-san. Out of all that I've tasted through the years, his was the sweetest. More so than that of your own, Echizen-san." Tezuka replied back calmly, keeping his breathing even so as to not show is true thoughts, 'Soumimasen Shusuke.'

"How dare you say that to me! I created you Tezuka, you should at least show respect to me!"

"I have Echizen-san, for the past one hundred and seventy-eight years I have, mind you that once you abandoned me at that house, my life became miserable, a lost existence. Now look, my family is dead, and I've been left to pick up the pieces of lives that you've left behind because you've grown tired of them!" Tezuka's voice was raised far beyond what most called his speaking voice, what he was doing now was truly yelling. His gazed raised to where he could stare down the shorter boy in front of him.

"That's enough," Ryoma muttered bowing his head, falling to his knees in front of Tezuka. "Didn't you know Kunimitsu, that all of them were just substitutes for you?" His eyes mustering up small tears trying to convince Tezuka of his feelings and intentions. "Its been so long since you've come to visit me Kunimitsu, ever since that Fuji boy came into the picture, your haven't come to play with me."

Tezuka knit his brow with a grimace. He wasn't going to fall for this, no way no how. Echizen had used this excuse far to many times for his liking.

"I have more important matters to attend to during my days."

"Like what? What could possible be more important than me?" He whined latching himself to Tezuka's waist.

"Like taking care of your left over meals. They're more of a handful than you'd imagine." Tezuka sighed pushing the boy off of him.

"Kunimitsu, your so mean to me!" Echizen pouted, his childish side certainly was showing itself fully now, knowing that Tezuka could never refuse his orders when he was like this. Mainly because Tezuka just wanted to make him shut up. "Ne, Kunimitsu I'm tired could you carry me up to my room?"

"Most certainly not Echizen-san."

"But, Kunimitsu, I'm tiiiiiered, now carry me!" Echizen whined farther.

"You have two perfectly capable legs Echizen-san, I'd suggest you use them."

"But your arms are more capable Kunimitsu. I like them better anyways." Tezuka let out a long suppressed sigh, before unwillingly complying to the childish antics of his master. "Che, I knew you'd cave eventually." Echizen grinned placing a quick kiss on Tezuka's cheek.

"I'd prefer you didn't do that Echizen-san."

"But you've always loved my kisses Ku-ni-mi-tsu." Echizen whispered into Tezuka's ear deliberately sounding out each syllable of his name. Tezuka closed his eyes as he reached for the door knob. "Doesn't this remind you of old times Kunimitsu, you used to always carry me."

"That Echizen-san, was a long time ago." Tezuka bent down to lay the boy onto the bed, though Echizen didn't let go of his hold around other's neck.

"Wah, why go so soon Kunimitsu?"

"Echizen-san, this is hardly appropriate right now." Tezuka tried to pull away, but Echizen only held his grip tighter.

"But I'm not done with you yet." Tezuka glared down at the boy, this only caused Echizen's arrogant smirk to grown into a devious grin. The glint in the boy's eyes made Tezuka feel uneasy, 'not going to happen Echizen, not by a long shot.'

"Echizen-san, I need to leave. If I'm not back before long Oishi will begin to wor-" Tezuka didn't get to finish his statement, mainly because Echizen decided to silence him in his own special way. Thought Tezuka had his own way to break the kiss off when Ryoma forced his way into Tezuka's mouth.

"Itai itai itai itai!" Ryoma yelped letting go of Tezuka's neck bringing his hands up to his mouth. Wincing from the pain radiating from his tongue Echizen swiftly pulled Tezuka down onto the bed next to him. "Its not nice to bite people Tezuka."

"Its not polite to force yourself onto others Echizen-san, now please let me go."

"Tsk tsk tsk Kunimitsu, I'm hurt you would think something like that. That really is a low blow." 'Apparently not low enough' Tezuka thought whilst trying to find a way out of this predicament. There really wasn't a way out, well not a way that Tezuka could keep his self respect , and his loyalty to Fuji.

Tezuka's eyes shot open trying to forget what had happened after that, his actual reason for being a foul mood earlier. "Just remember there wasn't any other way around it Kunimitsu, just keep thinking that." He muttered to himself.

"Ne, all done Kunimitsu." Fuji smiled. "Did you have a nice nap?"

"Hardly."
