A/N: Sem-break!! Yey!! P Hmm… I wasn't able to mention this before, but 'Yume o Miru' is on hiatus right now. Gomeeeennn… It's just that I think that some of the parts of the said fic never even worked out for some readers. Give me a chance to improve my grammar and stuff, so please review! It's greatly appreciated.

Disclaimer: Get Backers characters are not mine. Shin, Shogo and Afalum are products of my not-so-great-imagination-slash-disoriented-mind.

Summary: Two ancient lovers resurrected as GB characters? What is the world coming to? Yaoi/Slash.

Additional Note: I'm inspired. I tried to read some Slam Dunk fics again from my hard disk. Then I found an inspiring one: Shohoku's Pride by Rory V. Pascual. It's really kinda' sad and it's inspiring. Whaaaa... I love it! Oh, and uhm... I'm sorry if I'm not able to answer some of your e-mails and do some of your requests, I'm just so busy nowadays. Don't worry, for you, I'll try my best! -shows muscle-

Time Will Pass Me By

Prologue: In Ancient Times

The man caressed the face of his beloved as if it's the most precious porcelain in the world. "I love you so much, Shin…"

"Stop being so sentimental, Shogo… You know I love you too, na?"

"Haha. Of course. Anyway," Shogo eyed his 19-year-old lover. "are you sure you're not a female-turned-to-male?"

Shin blinked, then chuckled. "You're so corny. Of course not, Shogo. Why do you ask? It's not everyday that someone asks me about my gender."

Shogo tilted his head on the side. "Well… even before we got together, I thought you were female. Lame, huh? Because of your body… it's unusual for a guy to have curves like that…"

True, Shin had every curve a girl wants- the only problem was his front part. Haha. He was also fair skinned, with longish brown hair (more of auburn) and brown chocolate-like eyes. But it wasn't really visible because they were wearing elegant, long robes (they live in a palace, ne? ancient times?). Meanwhile, Shogo was of strong built, with black hair and menacing purple (or is it violet?) snake-like eyes. And anyone who will see them together will only have one thing to say: they look good together and they fit perfectly.

"Stop lusting over him, Shogo."

Both Shogo and Shin turned to the voice. When he saw the person behind the voice, Shogo glared. "What are you doing here, Afalum?"

Afalum raised both of his hands, playing innocent. "I was just passing by, that's all. It's probably just coincidence when I saw you with my Shin doing the mushy-mushy thing. It's not my fault you were having public display of affection."

Shin arched an eyebrow. "I was never yours, Afalum. I only belong to Shogo." With that, he clung on Shogo's arm.

"On a side note, I'm not the one who is lusting over Shin. And even if I were, it would be legal. Hmm… maybe I should say that you are the one lusting over Shin, Afalum. You are so dumb."

Shin pouted. "I'm sorry, but I should ask you to leave."

Afalum shrugged. "Whatever you say, my darling…"

----

"ARGHHH!!! That Afalum really gets into my nerves!"

Shin glanced up from the book he was reading. "Calm down, Shogo."

"CALM DOWN? Everytime I see that face of his, I always see something bad! It's like he's planning to do something bad… more of… to you…" With the last sentence, Shogo's voice seemed to soften.

"Stop it, Shogo. You're scaring me."

"I'm sorry, Shin. I'm… I'm just so worried about you. You're not oblivious to that, right? That Afalum liked you ever since he laid eyes on you? And that he's practically like a devil's son? Who wouldn't be worried with that?"

"I'm sorry…"

Shogo shook his head. "It's definitely not your fault. I'm sorry if I raised my voice on you."

"Iie, I understand you. I really appreciate that. That's a why of showing how much you love and care for me," Shin chuckled. "you're cute that way."

"Stop that!"

----

Afalum caught Shin's wrist.

"What do you want this time?" It was very unusual of Shin to raise his voice to someone he barely knew, but this one, I guess, is an exception.

"You've… gotta… help… me… Shin…"

Shin's eyes widened at Afalum's disheveled form- his elegant robes were torn, he had no protection for his feet or whatsoever. It was a normal reaction that someone would be worried at the sight of him, even if he were better of an 'enemy'. "What happened to you? Did someone attack you?" He draped Afalum's arm over his shoulder, assisting him to the nearby clinic. "Hang in there, Afalum!"

Before they even got there, Afalum collapsed. Shin panicked; he was not used to this kind of thing. He kneeled beside Afalum. "Afalum? Afalum?" He shook him. "Ehhhhhh… what am I going to dooo?"

All of a sudden, Afalum grabbed Shin's arm and had a lip-lock with the latter. Shin's eyes widened like saucers for he was caught by surprise. He tried to back away from Afalum, but it was no use. He was pretty petite; and Afalum is, with no question, much physically stronger than him.

Afalum released Shin, a smirk on his lips. Shin, meanwhile, looked at him with disgust. "Rot in fucking hell, Afalum! Die!"

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. It's not like you swearing like that, my beloved Shin. It does not suit you." He started to approach Shin, who was now starting to tremble with mix of fear and shock. "Come now, my dear one. Don't be shy." He continued to approach Shin.

Shin felt the concrete wall behind him. 'What to do, what to do?! Shogo, help me!! I'm with a monster!' As Afalum was about to do what he did earlier, he felt a tap on his shoulder. When he turned around, it was followed by a punch hard on his face. He clutched his cheek which had been just punched, then looked up to see who his attacker was. "Ark! Shogo!"

Shogo looked at him, and eyebrow raised, with great disgust and resentment. He was clutching his wrist. "Hah… that hurt a bit."

"How the hell did you find us?"

Shogo smirked evilly. "It's just instinct, dumbass. When someone I love is in danger, I detect it easily. Great power, huh?" He then walked toward Shin, who was now smiling with delight when he saw his lover. He helped him up. "I should have accompanied you, love. You know how dangerous it is with all the men lusting over you lurking around. What were you doing anyway? Why were you walking in the middle of the night?"

"Well… I wanted to breathe fresh air, since it was hot this time of night. Then I saw someone so pretending to be ill."

"That's just like you, my dear." Shogo smiled then caressed the face of Shin. "But next time, be more careful, alright?" Then he kissed Shin's forehead. "I love you so much, Shin. Don't forget that, na?"

Shin smiled ever-so-happily, "Aiii… Shogo… you're being sentimental again."

"HEY! I don't want to go unnoticed here, guys! You'll pay for this!"

Shogo glared at just-recovered Afalum while embracing Shin. "And how?"

"BY THIS!"

With that, the whole ground shook. Shin and Shogo clutched each other tightly. "Stop it, Afalum!" Shin's voice was pleading now; and anyone who heard his voice would be convinced to stop whatver bad he was doing. But, since Aflaum was so desperate to separate the two, he heard nothing.

"We can't do anything now, Shin… you know how powerful he is." Then he tightened his hold around Shin. "Don't let go… Shin…"

"I… I won't… I won't let go, Shogo…"

"DIE!!!! ALL OF YOU DIE!!!!!!!"

Then the whole palace collapsed, people buried underneath the bricks, including Afalum, and the lovers, Shin and Shogo.

"Ai Shiteru… Shogo…"

"-YAWN- Anything to eat, Paaaauuullll?"

"Shut up, Ban, and work!"

"Baaaaaan-chaaaaaannn… I'm hungryyyyyyy…"

Ban rolled his eyes, "Whatever, Ginji. Work for yourself ."

"Maa, maa…" Kazuki smiled at both of them. He then offered his mocha cake to Ginji.

"This is for me, Kazu-chaaaan?"

"Hai."

"Arigatoooooooo!!"

A/N: lol. Tell me if something's wrong, and something funny, and something awkward. Hai? Anyway, I wasn't supposed to add Ginji and Kazuki on the last scene. But maybe some of you might mistake Paul and Ban as the 'resurrected' lovers. -sweatdrop- Oh, and I wouldn't tell who Afalum is… yet. I also wouldn't tell who the lovers are.
