Disclaimer: I don't own it... blah blah blah... Wave's hand around
Summery: Artemis has been kidnapped, snatched from his bed at St Bartleby's and it's up to Butler to save him, but saving Artemis won't be an easy task, as it never is, because the boy genius isn't there to help this time, this time Butler is all alone and if he doen't hurry, he won't see Artemis again. R&R!!!!! SLASH
Authoress Note: Now, I have just read through the last chapter and well... so many mistake's... I am SO sorry... I sware they weren't there when I read it through before posting!! (Tries to look innocent but fails) But I was tired and cranky... so yeah...
And I don't think I need to tell you or appologise for my bad spelling and grammar, because we ALL know it sucks... And right now it'll suck pretty bad... because my spell check is not working... sorry... so no wise crack's or "You're spelling really suck's" type thing please.
You know what's funny? As soon as Artemis is "saved" by Butler and they are reunited and all that jazz, any insperation for this fic has just zipped out of my mind... funny that... (smiles sheepishly)
Say something here This is for thought's!!!!!
" Say something here " This is for... well... speach and if you didn't know that you're pretty stupid...
When it's all bold, it's a dream ok!!!
Italic when it's a thought

Chapter 8: Safe?
Butler's dark blue eyes ran over the pale form lying in front of him. Artemis wasn't moving, and the mansurvant didn't like the way his slender chest rose and fell with sharp breath's. His small body was trembling violently.
Realising that someone could walk into the hut at any given moment, Butler wrapped his black leather coat around Artemis' lean form and gently scooped the boy into his arms. Shuffling quietly out of the wooden shelter.
--
Craig was sitting in behind a large bush when his old friend appeared infront of him. Holding what had to be Artemis in his large arms.
The boy was wrapped in Dom's leather coat and was trembling. There was a strip of cloth covering Artemis' eyes and Craig could see a fresh bruise forming on his pale cheek. To be totally blunt, he looked like death warmed up.
"Oh my," Was all the man could say, as Butler looked at Craig sternly.
"We need to move, when they find out Artemis isn't there, they'll come looking for him, and Artemis isn't strong enough for me to leave him alone while I take care of the kidnapper," He said, turning on his heel and began to stride, quietly, throught the dence undergroth of the Amazon jungle.
--
The first thing Artemis noticed when he woke up, was how wonderfully warm he was. Which was strange. Because he hadn't felt warm in a few days. The kidnapper's had made sure of that.
He didn't feel any cleaner, but warm was good. And he was lying on something soft and lumpy. (AN: Any quesses, lol :P)
"Artemis? Are you awake?" Asked somone above him. The voice was rough and sounded familar. But the genius couldn't be sure, from his half consious state, the voice sounded hazy and far away.
"Artemis?" It asked again, this time sounding more insistant, more urgent.
The genius groaned, shifting slightly.
Warm gloved hands where suddenly pressed against his pale cheeks. The thumb's rubbing his soft skin gently.
--
Butler sat on his sleeping bag, Artemis nessled comfortably in his lap. He and Craig had set up camp about 18 mile's away from the kiddnapper's HQ. Craig was sitting oppisite him, watching the bodyguard as he ran a hand though Artemis' soft black hair.
They sat that way for more then an hour, watching the boy in total silence. As Craig was just about to take a light nap, Artemis suddenly stirred. His lean form curling into a smaller ball in Butler's lap. One hand coming up and grasping the smooth fabric of the bodyguard's shirt. A soft moan passing between his lips.
Faster then you can blink Bulter had both of his hands cupping the boys cheeks. Saying his name and asking if he was awake. Artemis didn't answer, instead he groaned and tried to open his eyes.
"Artemis?" Butler asked again. Drawing the genius closer to him.
"Bunah," Artemis mumbled, enjoying the feeling of the strong arms wrapped around him.
Butler glanced at Craig who was watching the guard, then let his dark blue eyes rest back on the beautiful bundle in his lap.
"Artemis, it's me, Butler!" He said, smoothing the ebony hair off a pale sweaty brow.
The genius slowly opened his eyes, gazing up at Butler with a far away look.
"Artemis!?" The bodyguard cried, tightening his hold on the boy.
"Bu... Butler?" Came the sleepy reply.
Butler felt like crying! Artemis was in his arms, safe and... so beautiful. The older man stared at his charge, never had he seen Artemis look so good before. Well that wasn't true, he had seen the boy look positivly ravashing. But he prefered not to think of his charge that way. Though it was hard. Watching Artemis now, blinking dazidly up at him. It was very hard.
"Butler you're crying. Are... are you alright?" Asked a small voice.
Butler nodded, causing a few pearly tear's to be thrown off his cheek's and land on the ground. He was crying. Now that didn't happen everyday.
"Butler?" Asked the voice again.
Looking down Butler saw Artemis staring up at him. His large blue eyes plunging into the older man's very soul. A rare smile krept onto the man-servant's chissled feature's as he continued to strock Artemis' cheek gently.
"I'm alright, how about you? Do you hurt anywhere? Cold? Hungry?"
Artemis gave a weak smile and closed his eyes, burying his face into his bodyguard's stomach.
"I'm fine," He lied, knowing his guard would not belive him. He never did.
"Don't lie Artemis," Butler said, that smile never leaving his face.
"You know I never lie Butler," Came the reply, slightly muffled, as Artemis' face was still pressed against the man-servant's hard stomach.
Butler's hard eyes softened as he pulled Artemis closer.
"Butler?" Asked the genius, looking up at the man.
"Yes?"
"I knew you would come,"
