Oh the death threats are starting to take their toll [starting?]! Bribery
would be much more persuading *squats on ground and draws little circles in
the dirt with a stick, dark cloud looming over head*

AN: Polyhymnia - The Muse of sacred song ~ ~ ~
Set me Free
A tingling sensation flowed through every vein and nerve of Shuichi's body as his husky tenor voice left his lips. He could feel his soft hair sweeping gently across his forehead and the whispered wind that caused goose bumps to appear on his porcelain skin. As his voice left his pale pink lips he could feel Polyhymnia of the nine muses presence appear. She stood beside Shuichi yet did not touch the ground, although it would seem she would any moment; she merely remain suspended above the stone ground as if something as dull and somber would taint her pure spirit. She softly traced her fingers over the face of the child she had blessed at his birth. A serene smile formed on her face as placed her palms together. A small ball of hot white light appeared as she began to slowly separate her hands and from the light a harp was formed. Shuichi's eyelashes fluttered open as he took in the image of the fair muse as she began to accompany Shuichi's angelic voice with a harmonious melody. Their perfectly synchronized duet was as if soft white feathers were being carried through the sky by a gentle breeze.
Shuichi almost forgot himself in the moment but when the prelude ended, Polyhymnia placed a kiss on his forehead and faded away leaving Shuichi standing in his cell with two unconscious guards lying in front of him. One of which possessed the key to the lock for is prison.

Yuki lay in bed staring up at the familiar ceiling. No matter how tired he felt before, sleep just wouldn't come. His limbs were aching from the lack of energy but at the same time also from the lack of movement. Yuki sat up and placed his feet on the floor beside his bed. He pushed his hand through his now messy blonde hair, blaming his restlessness on the humid weather.
He rose and walked toward the large balcony allowing a fresh breeze to grab his senses and wake him fully, ridding him of the uncomfortable half daze he was in.
Yuki grabbed a simple shirt had been carelessly slung on his chair and trousers on the floor. He had never really cared much for the compulsory manners that came with royalty. He left his room and head for the castle's private brewery. (1)
--Anything alcoholic will do as a sedative for now. hopefully it'll help me get to sleep, even if it means drinking the entire stock.--
The image of Shuichi entered Yuki's mind, but no sooner did he shake it away.
--Che- Ano kuso-gaki!--
Yuki subconsciously took the long way to he destination.

//Lost. Yup, that pretty much sums up my cruddy situation!//
Shuichi had decided to take a path that wasn't patrolled by guards. After sneaking through the winding corridors it dawned on him why. He must've seen that same painting at least five times, already! He was beginning to think that the brunette in the painting was following him wherever he went!
//Mou.what's with me? I'm a nymph! I have a natural keen sense of direction...don't I? But then again, I wouldn't have been caught by those bastard humans if I had been able to find my way home.//
While Shuichi was battling with himself the sound of heavy stone slowly scraping across the uncarpeted floor caused him to look towards the source of the sound.
//A secret passage? Damn, I should've known! But wait.that means.!//
Yuki Eiri stood before the now panicking Shuichi, his eye's wide with the same shock as Shuichi's. A brief silence filled the halls.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Yuki's voice struck fear through to the core of the young nymph.
//Ru..run away.!!//
But although Shuichi ordered himself to escape, he couldn't even tear his eyes away from Yuki's feral features let alone attempt escape.
"Why are you here, kuso-gaki?!" he asked again, impatience clearly showing by his raised voice and the growing vein on his temple.
When hearing himself be insulted by the uptight man, Shuichi's forehead also formed a visible vein, forgetting the previous fear and tension in the atmosphere.
"I got lost in this huge god-forsaken castle!" Shuichi yelled; his lips in a frustrated pout.
--Ah. There's that annoying sharp tongue of his.--
"Why the hell are you out of your cell!?"
Shuichi suddenly blushed, realising his previous answer, looked intently at the floor before Yuki. The grey stone of the floor seemed darker than before and a sudden wave of coldness chilled Shuichi to the core as he remembered that he hadn't felt the warmth of the sun all day.
"Damned brat! Don't you have anything to say for yourself? - although it it'd probably just be about useless crap!"
//I got lost going home last night.I was captured before dawn.I've been inside that cage until now.I haven't even seen the light of day yet.//
Yuki's jabbing words passed through Shuichi like he was fading into nothingness. Yuki looked at the nymph's face a noticed that his skin seemed a lot paler than earlier and his fire-pink hair had lost its burning energy. The boy himself was silent.
--And that's the biggest difference-- Yuki noted, almost smirking. --Well it's none of my concern. He's just scared shitless now that he's been caught trying to escape.--
Shuichi leant against the stone cold wall and another blast of ice travelled through Shuichi's body. It wasn't too difficult to breathe, yet the raw iciness that penetrated him to the heart was like hundreds of tiny needles pricking his flesh. He could barely utter any recognisable words and could only choke on his voice as Yuki frowned at him.
As Yuki sternly looked upon the youth, his heart begged him to reach for the boy and draw him into a safe embrace. But his heart no longer ruled his body as much as it once did. His mind told him he cared not for Shuichi and that being in his presence alone was a hassle. Like listening to the demon on his shoulder he moved away from the shaking figure, his angel forever bound by chains with his heart. Yet even though they were both sealed they still existed within him and the more distance he placed between him and the boy the more he felt as though he was being pulled by him, causing those same chains within his chest to tug and ache. Yuki did his best to abandon all feelings and turned around to leave.
"If you're injured I suggest you head back to your cell, the King would probably want his prize to stay shiny. I won't be around to be berated at if people think that I'm the cause of your death should you chose to die here." Yuki spoke in an indifferent tone, striding forward a few steps before he felt a sudden weight pressed against his back.
Yuki was frozen to the spot; his shoulders slightly slouched forward with the figures weight. He felt the boy's small hands clutch at his shirt and his head trying to bury itself within the folds of the item of clothing as he breathed in small puffs of air.
//Why now? .Why in front of this jerk?// Shuichi's hands clenched tighter, //Why?// The same question spinning in his mind, his eyelids heavily shut as he lost contact with the colours of the world and slipped into black.
//Why is such a cold man so warm?//
