Taming the Beast

By Moon without a Sun

As the sun was sinking, Nagi heard the sound of hooves galloping up the hill. He turned to see Momoe, alone.

"Momoe!!!!! Where's Father??" He jumped on the horse, who immediately galloped off into the woods.

Shuuichi Takatori ran up the steps to the old castle. Momoe had run away, but who could blame her, this place wasn't exactly inviting. But he had no choice. He'd been attacked by bandits in the woods and had barely managed to escape with his life. His side was bleeding badly, and as he knocked on the door, his vision became black and he fell unconscious.

When Shuuichi awoke, he heard voices looming over him. He looked around, but seeing no one, assumed it was his imagination. 'Wait a minute... I'm on a bed!!! Oh crap, I bled all over it...Where am I? Who brought me here? Ugh, I can't think straight. And if those voices don't go away I'm going to get very annoyed.'

/Do you think he's awake yet?/

/Birman, if you don't leave him alone he'll never wake up./

/Oh shut up Yohji. You know as well as I do that if the master finds out that a man bled on his bed, he'll kill us./

/And he's supposed to do that how?? We're ghosts, remember?/

/ It's a figure of speech! Anyways, let's get him out of here!/

"Get who out of where?" asked a deep, cold voice.

A deep chill fell over the castle. Shuuichi sensed danger. Just then, a young red haired man stepped into the room. Following him were several rather nervous looking people, except they were transparent. It dawned on Shuuichi that these must be the ghosts whose voices he heard earlier

"WHO is this?" The young man glared, his scowl deepening when he saw his bed. "And what," he pointed to the mess "is THAT?" A tall ghost stepped forward, his thin form trembing.

" Uh, Lord Aya, I can explain. See, I found him unconscious on the step when I answered the door. And well, he needed medical attention and..."

"Koudoh Yohji, you DO realize that you're rambling on, don't you?"

"Uh, yes sir, sorry sir." The ghost stepped back, looking even more frightened than before.

"Well, if the man was in sure dire need of medical attention, maybe he needs to remain here until he's better. Lock him in the tower, and if you so much as look at him without my permission, you will regret it. And that goes for all of you, not just Koudoh."

Nagi raced through the forest, glad Momoe knew were she was going. Before long he found himself in front of a forbidding-looking castle. He climbed off the ancient horse, slowly making his way to the door. The brunette knocked, but receiving no answer, he used his telekinetic power to open the door.

The inside of the castle was dark and cold. Nagi heard murmured voices above, one much louder and more annoyed than the others. He raced up the stairs, anxious to find the whereabouts of his "father". When he reached the stairs however, all he found was a locked door with a tiny window through which he could just see the injured policeman.

"Father!"

"Nagi! Leave, now! It's not safe here. Forget about me, leave before he finds you!"

But it was too late. Something cast a long shadow on the door, and Shuuichi drew back in fear. Nagi turned slowly, and his breath caught in his throat. Before him stood the most beautiful man Nagi had ever seen.

"Come here to stay with your father? I warn you, I'm not very welcome to guests." Nagi shuddered at the man's cold demeanor. 'He might have a beautiful face, but his heart is made of stone!'

"Please sir, my father is injured. He needs medical attention..."

"He came here of his own free will. Now he must stay, forever."

"I beg you, what if I stayed instead?" Nagi knew he could use his powers if he needed to, but somehow he couldn't bring himself to use them against the older man. Violet eyes stared at him with just a hint of curiosity and surprise.

"Fine. Birman, lead the older man to the door. And as for you, please follow me to your new home." Nagi followed the cold angel, knowing that his life would never be the same.

OK, I know it's a little slow. But give it some time, I promise it will get better! Review please, I like to know if my stuff is worth reading!
