When Getting To Know You, I fell in Love with You.

Yamato watched his new life partner, his gift from Noscery, look around his, no, their room. The room had black jade walls, and a balcony outside of a large window. The bed was king sized, with many pillows and curtains around the edges, all dark purple and black. Yamato had not even known the boy for more then an hour or so and already he liked him. Slender waist, and curved hips, a frail physic. Like a flower before bloom. Taichi had to change out of his wedding Kimono and into another. Now he wore Blue and Red, his new symbol colors. It was the exact same as the one except blue were gold should be and red were blue. Taichi still held the flowered Fan in front of his face, but only out of shyness.

"Well, my sweet child. Do you like it?" Bakuryu asked Taichi. Yamato knew his father had taken a great liking to the boy, and now repeatedly called Taichi, sweet child. While Taichi's dad called him boy, or when Bakuryu was not around, pathetic brat.

"Yes, I do. It's lovely." Taichi said. It was a very pretty room.

"Alright then, we'll just show you the garden, I heard you liked flowers so I thought we should show it to you." Bakuryu explained. Taichi gave an excited squeal but composed himself quickly with a flushed face. They walked from the master bedroom and down a narrow, but tall hall of red walls with painted dragons.

"Hurry up boy, if you want to see the garden." Totosai said to Taichi, who was lagging behind them a bit, looking up the walls.

"Yes Father." Taichi said and hurried to catch up. As soon as Taichi stepped outside he gasped. Thousands of the most beautiful flowers of the world ran up the backyard and into the dark forest.

"Wow…." Taichi's eyes were glittering in the sun as he looked at the flowers.

"Yeah, yeah, they're pretty, but now I have to take the bra-…my boy home so his mother and family can see him." Totosai said, a bored tone in his sour voice. He gripped onto Taichi shoulder, causing even Bakuryu to wince at the painfully tight looking grip. Taichi quickly walked forward, not wanting to anger the man.

At the gate to the large castle like house of the Ishida's. Taichi said his goodbye's to Yamato and Bakuryu until tomorrow and got into his royal carriage with his father.

"Listen here boy, I will not tolerate this "Lovey-Dovey" shit you and that Ishida kid seem to be playing at. You and I both know he is going to beat your ass and fuck it, and you will take it, and take it, and take it even when you can't move, no matter what, understand me?! If he wants you to do anything, even kill someone, you do it! That money will be mine, and you will not spoil it!" Totosai said harshly, not caring how much pain and humiliation his son felt in his chest by these words.

"Yes Father." Taichi replied, fighting back his tears. As soon as he got home, his mother, four sisters, and older brother came out. His two eldest sisters, Jayla and Sora, began to scream at him, for being chosen instead of them, and for wearing more beautiful clothing then them. His youngest sister, Hikari, glared evilly at Taichi, she wanted the fan and belly ring. Taichi's middle sister, Tomi, began to hit him for all the reasons her sisters had. His only brother watched with sad, yet happy eyes. He was sad that his younger brother should have to live in such a painful reality, and that soon he would leave, but happy that he would be away from pain. After an hour of slaps and ridicule, Taichi and the rest went inside.

"You will give us all the money we are aloud to get, we fed you, clothed you and kept you off the street, it's the least you could do!" Taichi's mother said sternly to him. Taichi nodded. After some more slaps and envious shrieks, Taichi was alone in his room. He raised his head when his door opened and his brother, River, his favourite member of the family, walked in.

"Look Taichi, I want to congratulate you, you now can go to a home that will not harm you in anyway-" But he was cut off by Taichi.

"I want you to come with me!" Taichi said, getting up and almost running to his brother.

"I-what?" river asked.

"Yamato said I could pick a family member to live in the palace with me! I want you to come!" Taichi said.

"…If that is what you want, I certainly have no objections." River said with a smile. Taichi was thrilled and could barely sleep. Not only was he leaving this horrid family, but bringing along his brother and no matter what he didn't have to give his family the money because Yamato said he didn't.

A harsh poke brought me out of sleep, my sister was standing above him.

"Come on, you lazy ass, we have to get you ready for when Yamato comes!" Sora said, getting a dreamy look in her eyes as she said Yamato. Soon I was in my poorly washed outfit from yesterday and walking out the door to greet Yamato. Yamato had a cold look on his face, and that frightened me. As soon as I gazed in those icy blue eyes, I knew that my father was right. Yamato was going to hurt me, Yamato was not who he seemed to be…by Noscery this sucks.

"Ready?" Bakuryu said, still with his warm smile.

"Yes, and I'm still aloud to bring my brother right?" I asked him eagerly.

"Of course."

"What? We were not told of this!" Totosai complained.

"It's alright, we thought it would make him feel better if he brought along a family member." Bakuryu explained.

"Oh…alright…" Totosai's teeth were gritted hard as he glared at his me, his youngest son.

"Lets go." Said Bakuryu. I quickly got into the carriage with Yamato, as Bakuryu and River went into one behind ours. I looked at Yamato, he was facing the window.

"H-hi." I stuttered, I know I did, because I was scared. Yamato didn't say anything. If there was one thing in this world that got me angry, it was being ignored. When by family ignored me, I always started to get angry, then I'd land myself in trouble and get beaten, and you know what? This is were I'm gonna regret the day I was born.

"Speak to me dammit! I'm not going to sit around and be ignored! Speak or I'll kick you in the crotch!" I growled. He slowly turned to look at me. His eyes wide and disbelieving.

"…I thought you were supposed to be shy and quite." He said slowly.

"I am, unless you start to ignore me, then I'll go mid-evil on your ass." I said calmly. He started to smile, then he broke out into a light, hearty laugh. I don't know why but I started to laugh too.

"I like you 'Chi, you know how to get me out of a bad mood." He said. I smiled proudly. Yamato mentions for the carriage to stop, I realize we're in the market.

"Would you like to go shopping?" He asked.

"Yes!" I was in real need of some shoes. Wait…did he call me Chi? Well then I'll call him yami…no it sounds too evil…I know…I'll call him Yama. Sounds cute. Now before I go any farther, I must tell you all something. I am a total jewellery freak. Anything shiny, I'd want it, be it necklace, ring, earrings (it's custom for males to pierce their ears until they can not pierce it anymore.) anything you name it, and guess what? Yamato just gave me a huge bag of money. In one hour you will see me wearing more jewels then the queen.

"I'll let you look around. I'm just going to talk with River and my father." Yamato told me. Oh damn he is gonna regret this…I'll make sure of that.

"H-hello your majesty, I've heard you liked jewellery, why not take a look at mine?" A wheezing voice called from my side. I turn and see an old man. His eyes were dark, and skin shabby on his bones. He looked desperate. I felt sorry for him. I looked down on the table. My eyes lit up so fast people might of thought I was fire. On it were two of the best necklaces. Both covered in jewels. And there was about 12 bracelets I wanted. And I loved the earrings. I looked at the prices and added them up. Hmmm $5000 all together…I can deal with that.

"I'll take them all!" I said. His eyes were watering with joy and he collected my money, gave me the bounty and quickly ran away. I turned on my heels and bought a couple more necklaces and other things, but my favourite thing was the small silver chain that stayed on my forehead, with a small tear looking pearl dangling from it. Feeling very happy with my new jewellery, (not so happy with my empty money sack because I can no longer buy anymore) I went to the carriages to meet Yamato, River and Bakuryu, now wearing the 20 extra pounds of gold and silver.

"Hey!" I called gleefully. Yamato rounded to look at him and jumped out of his skin.

"Did I mention he liked jewellery?" River said in amused tone.

"I have no more money…" I said with a sorrowed sniff. "And I really wanted that toe ring too!"

Yamato's eye twitched slightly.

"My wife is gonna love you." Bakuryu said under his breath.

"You. You need help…"River sighed as I began to hum a song, the one I made up called gold and silver.

"Gold and Silver, like shining rain, helps erase the frightening pain, with a ruby or a diamond heart, my jewellery is far apart, from those that are horrid and wrong, I hope that you have liked my song!" I was so giggling at the looks I was receiving.

"Let's…just go home." Yamato said, trying to keep down the chuckles that tried to surface. I smiled.

"That's the first sensible thing I've heard you say yet."

Yes I know it's dull but don't worry. The third chapter will have the major plot. Sorry it was so short, a lots been happening and it's pretty hard to type with one hand. (For those of you who don't know I lost my right arm when I was 12 during a motor-vehicle accident. Sayonara for now!
