Hallo,

I am redoing the previous chapter called Soldiers. It wasnt very well done. This chapter comes before that one. Hopefully there is not to much confusion. Enjoy!

Elven Fool

I lie on my side. Propping my head up I watch the boy sleep.

'Such a beautiful boy.' I smile, tracing my nail along his strong jaw-line. 'No,' my smile widens, 'this is the face of a man. Plus after last night there is no way he can be called a boy.' I move my hand along his neck and shoulder, barely touching. 'he is a man.' I grin. 'My man. I don't have to share him with anyone or anything; not an army, not an empire, not the unrelenting desire for revenge and power, and definitely not Soi.' I cackle. The thought of Soi seeing Kuroudo is too much. She would be after him like a bitch in heat. She craves love as much as any woman. Nakago uses her, she knows it, and she wants more.

I shake my head. I don't want to think about Soi.

I look at Kuroudo's sleeping form. His eyes are open, watching sleepily. Blue eyes full of warmth, not cold calculation.

I stroke his cheek. "Sleep." I whisper.

He smiles, closing his eyes. He nestles deeper into the blankets.

I lay back down, listening to Kuroudo's steady breathing.

Darkness.
